A lean eye shape that was neither too long nor too short beneath the thick eyebrows. Moist looking red lips under the tall nose bridge.
Having blatantly stared at an unusually handsome face, she turned her head in fear of being caught.
Wondered if he might be from the same patisserie due to the faint scent of chocolate.
Ye Seul, without realizing it, reached out in the desire to touch his soft looking eyebrows.
Just as her fingertips were about to touch Si Heon’s eyebrows, Ye Seul pulled back, slightly clenching her fist.
“Am I crazy… Why am I like this?”
Was it because of that dream?
Ye Seul wanted to slap her own cheek.
It’s dangerous. I have to get out of here.
The moment she turned her body, a warm hand wrapped around Ye Seul’s wrist.
“Ah!”
Ye Seul helplessly fell across Si Heon’s legs, led along and hung in an awkward position.
Ye Seul’s hand leaned on Si Heon’s chest.
Ye Seul ended up sitting askew on Si Heon’s sturdy thigh.
She couldn’t tell if it was Si Heon’s heart beating or the heat from her palm.
A low voice echoed from above her head.
“I’ve been wondering if this is a dream or reality.”
Si Heon’s arm snaked around her waist, enveloping Ye Seul’s unstable body.
She was torn between the feeling of wanting to entrust herself to the man’s arm supporting her trembling body and the feeling that she should shake it off.
Ye Seul didn’t know what to do and couldn’t lift her head.
“Did you come to see me?”
At Si Heon’s slightly excited voice, Ye Seul wanted to see Si Heon’s expression.
“Mr. Si Heon. Let go.”
“Just let me lean on you for a while.”
Si Heon put strength into the hand around Ye Seul’s waist, and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
When Si Heon’s skin touched the flesh exposed on her neck, it prickled and trembled.
Si Heon leaned quietly, as if a little tired.
Ye Seul stared blankly at Si Heon’s hand resting on her stomach.
Neatly trimmed glossy nails, a manly hand with long fingers and appropriately protruding knuckles a pretty hand that Ye Seul liked.
She gently stroked over the slightly protruding sinew with her hand on top of it.
“Am I not heavy?”
“A bit?”
When Si Heon spoke with a smile, Ye Seul’s ears burned.
“Let go.”
Ye Seul, becoming prickly, slapped Si Heon’s hand. Si Heon chuckled low and lifted his head.
“I’m just joking. I wish I were heavier.”
She wanted to shake him off. Ye Seul twisted her body, but Si Heon didn’t seem like he was going to let go.
“Isn’t this the time when even empty words feel as light as a feather?”
Baek Si Heon whispered softly, pressing Ye Seul close to his body.
“They do feel as light as a feather.”
“You learn quickly.”
Ye Seul felt as if all her senses were concentrated on her back, feeling the warmth from Si Heon’s body.
Stay calm.
If someone’s warmth could give him strength, wasn’t it okay to be like this for a while?
Sebastian had always held and comforted Ye Seul gently when she felt dejected or had a hard time.
It wasn’t about the relationship between men and women, or about love.
The warmth between people surely brought comfort.
Ye Seul stared blankly at her hand.
A ugly and crude hand with many burn marks. It wasn’t easy to comfort him with this hand.
Ye Seul clenched her fist.
“Are you tired?”
“A little.”
“Were you worried about me?”
“You didn’t come home last night. As a wife, I worry that much when we live together.”
Si Heon must be laughing again. His breath, felt from behind, touched her skin and it shivered.
“That’s why everyone wants to get married! I was worried if Ye Seul might be sleeping on the sofa again.”
Again. A throbbing sensation around her heart, a warm feeling. Ye Seul swallowed her breath.
“The bed was wide, so I slept very comfortably.”
She couldn’t tell him that she woke up in the early morning because the bed felt too empty without Si Heon’s warmth.
“You’re tough, which is good. You should go to bed early as it will be busy tomorrow.”
Si Heon eased the pressure on the arm that he had placed around Ye Seul’s waist.
“Wait!”
Ye Seul held on as if she was reluctant to let go of Si Heon’s hand.
A moment of silence passed.
Si Heon’s chin touched Ye Seul’s shoulder.
She regretted her impulsive action.
While searching for words, Ye Seul gently stroked the back of Si Heon’s hand.
It was unfair that he seemed the same as usual while she was trembling just by touching him.
“Is there something you need?”
Ye Seul had even forgotten why she was here.
She intended to ask about the CCTV…
Ye Seul bit her lip slightly.
Why am I acting like this?
When she’s with Si Heon, she feels like a person without a soul.
“The Christmas cake was fully booked in just an hour today.”
The only thing she could think of was the story about the Christmas cake, which had sold out earlier in the morning.
“I know.”
It seemed as if Si Heon enjoyed listening to Ye Seul’s excited voice. He closed his eyes, leaning towards her.
Encouraged by Si Heon’s reaction, Ye Seul babbled on a little more.
“We sold out all the chocolate we had in stock. We had to close early because we ran out of ingredients.” Ye Seul bragged about the amazing experience of the shelves being completely empty.
“Everyone was really excited. Even Manager Kim had tears in his eyes.”
Si Heon laughed quietly.
Ye Seul’s bustling voice kept tickling the edge of his heart.
An unfamiliar sensation he was experiencing for the first time left no room for further conversation.
Was it like the feeling when you brought home a cute pet?
“Well done.”
“Tomorrow, we will make even more. I’ll prove that Si Heon’s choice was correct.”
Ye Seul’s voice rose.
She wanted to tell Baek Si Heon that scouting her in Paris was an excellent choice and that his discerning eye had not been wrong.
“Thank you. You’ve done really well for Chloe, beyond my expectations.”
“I was honestly angry yesterday. But…..”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t keep to Chloe’s design.”
Ye Seul barely swallowed the rising heat in her throat.
“But….. let’s remember it as a good thing since the end was good, like a dessert.”
“Chloe, thank you.”
“We need to adjust the taste a bit more.”
The Bûche de Noël made in the confusion yesterday was focused on the design for the promotional photo.
“Don’t worry about the taste. It’s like magic to create a sweet and enchanting taste when it passes through Chloe’s fingers.”
“Even if it’s lip service, it feels good.”
“It’s not lip service. You really don’t trust me, Ye Seul.”
“Do you trust Ham Ye Seul, Si Heon?”
Si Heon raised his head and looked at her snowwhite neck.
He stroked a few strands of hair that hung down from her tiedup hair.
“If it’s trust…..”
Si Heon’s breath touched the back of her neck.
Ye Seul shrunk her shoulders in anticipation as she waited for his answer.

“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
