“Oh! You even know Team Leader Seo’s taste? You’re so kind.”
When Yeon Ji widened her eyes, Gyu Min narrowed his eyes playfully.
“I have a good memory, you know.”
“Oh, now that I think about it, last time Team Leader Seo said that a considerate man who helps put a man’s mind at ease is the best.”
“Oh? I think that was about me.”
When Gyu Min laughed heartily, Yeon Ji’s eyes sparkled with envy.
“Team Leader Seo is lucky. There are men who remember preferences in detail.”
“He’s not a man, he’s a friend.”
Jae In, worried that Do Hyuk might misunderstand, corrected herself with a serious expression.
Gyu Min laughed heartily, finding it amusing.
“Team Leader Seo, did you have breakfast?”
“After a long time of drinking, my stomach felt a bit upset, so I made dried pollack soup.”
“It must have been delicious. I don’t eat well at home since I live alone. I’d like to try the soup you made, Team Leader Seo.”
Han Gyu Min, starting again.
Jae In chuckled and responded.
“Lately, instant dried pollack soup comes out really well. I’ll buy one for you later.”
“What? Dried pollack soup?”
Suddenly, Manager Park opened his eyes wide and smacked his lips.
“Oh dear, my stomach feels upset. My wife said she would make dried pollack soup for me since she woke up early in the morning, but unfortunately, we ran out of dried pollack, so I couldn’t have any. What a shame.”
Ah, I see.
He almost ended up homeless.
All the team members looked at Manager Park with sympathetic eyes.
Whether he knew it or not, Manager Park gave a flattery remark to Do Hyuk with a determined face.
“Yesterday was more cheerful and enjoyable with the boss around. Haha. Did you recover from the hangover?”
“The boss doesn’t need to recover from a hangover. He didn’t drink at all yesterday.”
Na Hee interrupted with a teasing tone, as if she had some exclusive information.
In response, Do Hyuk suddenly grabbed a water bottle in front of him and drank it quickly.
“Boss, are you very thirsty?”
Do Hyuk replied as if waiting for the question from Manager Park.
“Yes. The dried pollack soup I had in the morning was a bit salty.”
Dried pollack soup?
He didn’t even have a drop of alcohol?
The team members exchanged looks, their eyes narrowed.
They seemed desperately trying to find a connection between the two.
But soon, with faces expressing disbelief, they averted their gaze, thinking, “No way, that doesn’t make sense.”
Amidst this, Jae In clenched her molars and spoke with an expression that said, “What a coincidence.”
“Oh my, Manager Park, you had dried pollack soup too. It must have been refreshing for you.”
My stomach was refreshing just a moment ago.
Jae In’s insides bubbled with irritation because of Do Hyuk’s carelessness.
At this rate, I won’t be able to live up to my name.
And what’s this? The soup is salty?
After going through all the trouble, you publicly diss it. You’re going too far.
In just a few hours since she made up her mind to get along well with Do Hyuk, Jae In was put to the test.
Meanwhile, Gyu Min, who was closely examining Jae In’s face, smiled mysteriously and spoke up.
“Manager Park, you made the dried pollack soup yourself even though you said you eat alone? I envy you because I can’t cook at all.”
Then Do Hyuk smirked, lifting one corner of his mouth, and replied.
“I don’t like instant ones. They don’t suit my taste.”
At that moment,
Do Hyuk and Gyu Min locked eyes.
Between their tense, tugofwarlike gazes, sparks flew—snap, crackle, pop!
Watching the two of them alternately, Jae In thought to herself.
“They both seem to really like dried pollack soup, huh? No wonder Manager Park had it for breakfast.”

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
