Even with an uncomfortable body, Hajun had the energy to do anything with just his left arm, as long as he had a slight knee injury.

Thanks to that, it seemed Hajun could concentrate on catching up with his piled-up work.

However, when Seoa came out of the bathroom in yoga clothes, Hajun couldn’t take his eyes off her.

There was no exposure, but her body, snugly fitting the clothes, revealed her slender yet voluminous figure vividly.

“Why? Is something strange?”

As Seoa spoke while tying her hair up, Hajun’s pupils violently swayed.

“N-nothing.”

Blushing slightly, Hajun deliberately turned away from her and immediately sent a text to the security guard outside the door.
[Please don’t let anyone in for the next two hours since I need to focus on work. If it’s urgent, please call.]

Hajun didn’t want anyone to see him exercising.

Meanwhile, Seoa played a yoga instructional video on the TV.

And bravely followed the stretching exercises…

Hajun kept suppressing the laughter that kept trying to burst out.

Although she had some stamina, seeing her do the stretching, he realized it was comical.

Seoa also seemed embarrassed, murmuring and groaning continuously.

“Why, why isn’t this working? Isn’t that a basic move? Ugh…”

In the end, Hajun couldn’t hold back his laughter.

“Pfft!”

“Hey, don’t laugh!”

“Hehehe.”

Seeing him laughing with his hands on his belly, Seoa’s face flushed.

“Oh my god!”

When Seoa put her hands on her waist and protested, Hajun calmed down and got off the bed.

“Hey, your posture got messed up. Do it again.”

“Don’t laugh…”

“I won’t. Since your posture got messed up, I’ll help you.”

With a suspicious look, Seoa adjusted her posture again, and with Hajun’s correction, she held the pose more flexibly than before.

“Don’t try to do it perfectly from the beginning. Do as much as you can.”

“Honey, you keep laughing!”

“Should I stop laughing then?”

Seeing Hajun instantly stiffening his expression, Seoa’s pupils vibrated from side to side.

Come to think of it, she saw him laughing with his hands on his belly for the first time. Although the embarrassing feeling came first, it was amazing and proud that she could make him laugh like that.

“No! Laugh! Who else will make you laugh if not me? Right?”

“Yeah. This is the first time I’ve laughed with my hands on my belly like this.”

Seoa felt a bit weird, but with a determined expression to give him laughter, she continued with yoga.

In response to Seoa’s will, Hajun’s face never stopped smiling.

Although Hajun had initially intended to relax and focus on work while Seoa was exercising, he had found himself sitting next to her and adjusting her posture as an excuse before he knew it.

As the exercise was nearing its end, Seoa’s phone, placed on the table, vibrated.

Hajun’s gaze naturally turned to the phone screen, and he saw the content of the message.

[Seoa! Don’t forget the alumni gathering on Saturday?]

Her friends didn’t know that Seoa had been kidnapped, and they were unaware of Hajun’s injury. It was because the news was blocked by Tae Sung Group.

As Jiwon was still denying the charges, and Jae-ho was claiming that he acted alone, they planned to reveal the truth widely after resolving the situation.

People needed to know what happened when you messed with Tae Sung and Yoo Young Group, so that such incidents wouldn’t happen again.

Subsequently, the phone vibrated consecutively.

[It’s the first gathering since I came to Korea, so it would be disappointing if you miss it!] [I guess your husband is busy, right?]

Hajun, looking at Seoa concentrating on yoga, opened his mouth.
“Alumni gathering on Saturday?”

Seoa widened her eyes, blinked, and clapped her hands.

“Oh! Right! How did you know?”

“I got a text.”

“Oh…”

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? It’s at the Tae Sung Hotel banquet hall.”

Seoa waved her hand with large eyes.

“Ugh! It’s a middle school alumni gathering, and my friends don’t like such things! Besides, I won’t go. What am I going to do, leaving you alone? I can’t even eat properly by myself.”

“…”

Hajun let out a faint chuckle. It’s not that he couldn’t eat alone; he just liked Seoa taking care of him, but she still hadn’t noticed!

“By then, I should be discharged, and it should be okay, so go and come back.”

“Even after discharge, I can’t use my right hand for a while.”

“I can manage at least one meal on my own. It’s the first alumni gathering since I came to Korea, and it would be a shame to miss it. For my friends.”

A few days later, Seoa’s classmates arrived one by one at the meeting place.

And an enthusiastic discussion about “Han Seoa’s marriage” began.

It was understandable since even during school, it was suddenly revealed that she was the heiress of a conglomerate, and the rumors about marrying the heir of the top group were hot.

At that time, Seoa didn’t look like a conglomerate heiress at all, and she wasn’t good at studying, so there was a jealous group.

“If she’s a conglomerate heiress, shouldn’t she take care of the alumni gathering venue? Naturally, I thought it would be at Tae Sung Hotel and was looking forward to it.”

“I thought so too…”

At the envious friend’s remark, other friends cautiously agreed.

“I didn’t expect Tae Sung Hotel, but I thought we could at least see the husband in person…”

Hajun, with outstanding looks and abilities as the heir of a conglomerate, had been seen by ordinary people like a celebrity. So friends had sincerely expected the meeting.

“Hey, did you guys know? According to the news, they got married because they liked each other, right?”

The envious group’s gaze turned to Hyunjeong, who was the closest friend of Seoa.

“They like each other, right? They are living happily together, right?”

“False. If it’s true, doesn’t she have to come with her husband to save face? Starting from arranging the venue at Tae Sung Hotel.”

“Hey, don’t you know? According to the articles, they got married because they liked each other. Isn’t that right?”

The envious group’s eyes turned to Hyunjeong and her friends, who were the closest to Seoa.

“They like each other, right? They are struggling together, right?”

“It’s a lie. If it’s true, shouldn’t we come together to save her from her husband’s harm? And we have to share the cost of the gathering. Do you know how much it costs to rent the Tae Sung Hotel banquet hall? Do you have the money?”

For a moment, the envious group fell silent at Hyunjeong’s words.

“But, is this restaurant usually this empty? There’s no one here.”

“Yeah, maybe it’s because it’s early?”

At that moment, Seoa was listening to all these conversations from behind a wall.

As long as her conscience was clear, that was enough. She was loved, not inferior to others.
I was just curious about what they were talking about.

Even if the envious group was jealous, she didn’t expect that other friends would anticipate the gathering at Tae Sung Hotel and want to meet Hajun. It was a bit surprising.

As Seoa hesitated for a moment, a familiar fragrance approached her from behind.

“Darling. What are you doing here?”
