Of course, it was an ordinary conversation. What did she eat for lunch, isn’t she sleepy, how’s the weather today.

And around the end of lunch, instead of Sajun, Head Kang sent a courier to Taehui.

It was macarons from Zeus Hotel’s bakery.

Taking one shopping bag home and telling her subordinates to share the other, Head Kang loudly said to Taehui as if everyone should hear, “Director, please tell your boyfriend that I hope he enjoys it.”

“Although he said it casually, her mind became warm.

Whether Kang Head spread rumors or not, there was no significant change within the company.

But after receiving the quick delivery from Kang Head, the way people looked at Taehui changed from the afternoon.

Female colleagues looked at her with obvious envy, and male colleagues looked at her with a gaze full of wounded feelings.

Because of that quick delivery, she officially became a person dating within the company.

It must be a misconception to feel entangled with Sajun.

An hour before leaving work, she received another message from Sajun.

[Aren’t you working 30 minutes late today? If so, I can pick you up. Let’s eat something delicious.]

Reading the message, Taehui muttered quietly, “He doesn’t eat anything himself.”

Taehui had a body that gained weight just by drinking water.

The moment she lost face, she would instantly become the Minpodoong she was teased about in her childhood.
Eating as much as she liked, the reason she exercised like crazy the day after was precisely for that.

Taehui sent a message to Sajun.

[I can’t skip exercising. So, let’s not meet from Monday to Thursday.]

The reason for refusal was nothing special.

To prevent gaining weight, because she couldn’t stop exercising, and if she wanted to stick with the incredibly handsome instructor Sajun for a hundred days, she had to manage herself more rigorously.

But after sending the message, she felt lingering regrets.

She wanted to eat delicious food and see Sajun.

Putting down her phone again, Taehui let out a small sigh.

“Is it because it’s been so long since I’ve been in a relationship? Why is it so difficult?”

It wasn’t about what to say to Sajun.

She herself was also a fool when it came to relationships.

She had no intention of being dragged along with this relationship as Sajun pleased, but she had no intention of resisting either.

Leaving behind memories that would surely turn into poison later was scary, but she still wanted to leave many good memories.

She hated you for not loving her, but she also didn’t want to be an easy woman for you. Yet, she didn’t want to be a difficult woman either.

What kind of relationship did she want? In reality, she didn’t know herself.

Even though she wanted to act mean, she also wanted to be kind. In the fever of love, her temperature rose and fell repeatedly. According to that, her mood swung back and forth.

Is this why they say a woman’s heart is like a reed?

Having experienced a relationship only once and unable to recall it clearly, Taehui felt like grabbing any passing couple and asking them.

Is dating originally so difficult, is love like this?

But one thing was certain.

She somehow wanted to firmly root herself in Sajun’s memory, to be remembered as a precious existence.

Leaving work at 6, 50 minutes of Pilates and 50 minutes of aerobic exercise at a fitness center near her home, and then home.

After showering, making a shake, briefly watching a nut view, and falling asleep—this had been her routine for five years.

However, Sajun was slowly infiltrating into that routine.

All because of a fake contract relationship.

After showering and coming out, she habitually checked her phone, and as expected, there was a message from Sajun.

[Finish everything and call me. I just want to hear your voice.]

Sajun’s expression and voice, casually throwing out words, came to mind, and Taehui couldn’t help but smile.

“This makes it seem like we’re really dating.”

She thought about dragging out the time a bit more before making the call, but it was already 10 o’clock.

Even though it was late, Taehui also wanted to hear Sajun’s voice.

Before finding Sajun’s number and pressing the dial button, Taehui calmed her trembling breath.

What is this again? Why do I feel so nervous and tense like this?

[Have you finished everything?]

As if waiting for the call, Sajun picked up after a single beep.

“Oh. I exercised, took a shower, and was going to open the package that arrived today.”
Taehui cautiously approached, hoping to catch a glimpse through the window.

The alley in front of the building was tightly packed with parked cars.

However, Sajun’s car was nowhere to be seen.

In a moment of unknown disappointment, her mood plummeted.

With a few unsteady steps, she picked up two packages left at the front door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Having already expected and then disappointed herself after just a few visits to his place, she disliked her own reactions.

Whether the sound of cutting tape on the box was heard, Sajun asked, “[What did you order?]”
