“Of course, I’m envious. Probably every office worker would be.”
“Just because I’m the CEO doesn’t mean it’s good. It gives me a headache.”
Kang Hyun said, gently turning the steering wheel at the parking lot corner.
“That’s true. You have to take all the responsibility.”
“That’s right, your husband is having a hard time. So, let’s sleep together from now on.”
“Huh?”
Surprised by Kang Hyun’s sudden words, Yoon wondered if she’d heard him wrong.
“When I slept next to you, I was in top condition. I think I can focus well in the meeting today. I’m also going to the filming set later, and I think I can fly around energetically at this rate. So, let’s sleep together from now on. What do you think?”
After leaving the apartment and being stopped by a signal, Kang Hyun turned his body towards her.
“….”
Yoon turned her head.
“Are you saying let’s sleep together because you sleep well?”
She was upset at being treated like a sleeping aid.
“What?”
“You’re saying you want to sleep together because you sleep well.”
Yoon muttered, fiddling with her fingers. Then, Kang Hyun grabbed her hand.
“From now on, don’t fiddle with your hands, hold mine instead.”
Kang Hyun found flustered Yoon cute, kissed the back of her hand, and smiled.
“Listen, Seo Yoon. Normally, people don’t hold hands, let alone look at someone they don’t like. Do you think I would want to sleep with you just because I sleep well? Don’t you understand what I’m saying?”
“…..”
Kang Hyun interlocked his fingers with hers.
“Should I say that when you’re beside me, my mind and body feel at ease. Well, that’s why.”
“Is that so?”
Yoon, holding the handkerchief he gave her, thought it might be similar to how she slept well when she had it.
Moreover, if the ever sleepdeprived Kang Hyun could sleep comfortably.
“Then, let’s sleep together sometimes when you can’t sleep, Kang Hyun.”
“I usually can’t sleep… but alright. Thank you.”
Kang Hyun decided to be satisfied with her allowing them to sleep together occasionally.
“Oh, you should go to a traditional Korean medicine clinic this weekend.”
Suddenly remembering, Kang Hyun pulled out a business card and handed it to Yoon.
“A traditional medicine clinic?”
“How can you study with such weak stamina? You should at least take some restorative medicine. Since I’ve told you in advance, you should go.”
As the signal changed, Kang Hyun started the car smoothly.
“I don’t need to take it…”
“You have to. You’re even sensitive to cold in the summer. It’s because your body is weak. So, go get your pulse checked and get some medicine.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
Yoon took the business card with both hands and even bowed in gratitude.
“What’s with the thank you? Don’t greet me like that from now on.”
“Okay.”
“You seem to keep forgetting, but I’m your husband. You understand, right?”
Kang Hyun couldn’t help but speak seriously. He wasn’t happy, as Yoon still seemed to find him difficult.
“Yes, I understand.”
Yoon thought her earlier behavior was funny.
‘Thank you? Really, me…’
Yoon let out an embarrassed laugh.
“Listen, Seo Yoon. I’m married, and my wife, you see… If I suggest sleeping together, she’s taken aback. Treating me like a pervert now and then, I have to help her sleep, prepare meals, support her studies. Maybe I should call in reporters for a complaint session. If not, I might fall from hypertension someday.”
Kang Hyun vented sarcastically.
“Huh?”
At Kang Hyun’s complaint, Yoon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Is it funny? Your husband is suffering.”
“Pfft.”
As Yoon continued to laugh, Kang Hyun also burst into laughter.
“Yeah, keep laughing.”
“By the way, I really appreciated the breakfast you made.”
Yoon said, blinking after the laughter subsided.
“Honestly, it wasn’t that great, was it?”
“No. It was good.”
Yoon chuckled again at the thought of the fruit salad rolling around on the pretty plate. Kang Hyun, who found her adorable, playfully poked her cheek.
“Cooking is tough anyway. So, you don’t have to prepare my meals in the future. I can just eat something simple.”
“Simple?”
“Cooking takes a lot of time. You barely have time to study. From now on, don’t worry about me and just take care of yourself.”
“Did you find it very hard to prepare breakfast?”
“Not really. It’s just something trivial like that.”
He winked at her, and Yoon burst out laughing again at his playful demeanor.
“Kang Hyun, you’re so fun.”
Everyone found it difficult and uncomfortable to be around him, but Yoon found him fun, which was surprising. And Kang Hyun was happy because Yoon, of all people, found him enjoyable.
If Yoon was happy.
“I think you can drop me off here.”
“It’s quite a walk to the school from here.”
“It’s a good exercise to walk.”
“Alright.”
Kang Hyun stopped the car.
“Aren’t you going to give me a kiss? I won’t see you for two days.”
Kang Hyun, who grabbed Yoon’s arm as she was getting out, tapped his lips. Yoon hesitated for a moment, then pecked his lips.
“I’ll go now.”
Yoon, looking at Kang Hyun’s hand still holding her arm, said.
“Alright, take care.”
He reluctantly let go of her arm with a regretful expression.
Before getting out of Kang Hyun’s car, Yoon looked left and right attentively. Whether she thought there was no one recognizable around, she quickly got out of the car and hastily moved away from it.
Kang Hyun mumbled as he stared at Yoon’s behavior in disbelief.
“Why is she acting like that?”
Kang Hyun also glanced around, wondering if there were paparazzi lurking. All the while, he didn’t start the car and continued to watch Yoon’s retreating figure.
“She didn’t even look back once. That’s cold.”
At that moment, one by one, students began to follow Yoon.
“What’s this?”
The problem was that they were all male students. They were making a fuss, trying somehow to catch Yoon’s eye.
“Miss Seo’s popularity is no joke, huh?”
Looking at the time, there was still a while before the meeting. Kang Hyun parked the car on the side of the road and watched them. More and more male students began to swarm around Yoon.
“It’s like a fan meeting.”
A laser shot out of Kang Hyun’s eyes. All the male students were busy smiling at whatever was so amusing. Yoon also looked at the students and smiled pleasantly.
“But who is that guy?”
A tall man on a bicycle approached them and waved his arms, driving the male students away. Then he proudly took a spot next to Yoon.
Seeming to be a fellow teacher, Yoon greeted him warmly. The man even got off his bicycle and matched Yoon’s pace, slowly walking while pulling his bicycle along.
Even from a distance, the man’s physique was no joke. With broad shoulders like a swimmer, he had a perfectly triangular figure, and he was also handsome.
As the two of them were talking, they looked at each other and laughed. Whether the man had told a funny story or not, Yoon laughed out loud.
When Yoon laughed, Kang Hyun, who was in the car, laughed along. But his eyes were not laughing at all.
The two of them looked disgustingly wellmatched.
“She shouldn’t be smiling at just anyone.”
Kang Hyun turned his head. Then, a strange creaking sound echoed eerily inside the car.
“Especially when she’s that pretty.”
