It was because she found Ha Joon sleeping soundly beside her.
Why is Ha Joon ssi next to me?
She definitely fell asleep on the sofa after confirming that Ha Joon was asleep yesterday, so why are we lying in the same bed?
Did it happen again?
Su Ah recalled the memory of the day she had gone to the bed where Ha Joon was sleeping in the pension.
[Sexual frustration.]
A word suddenly came to mind, and Su Ah bolted upright.
“Um……. Su Ah ssi, did you sleep well?”
Ha Joon, who had woken up from Su Ah’s movement, asked without even fully opening his eyes.
“I’m sure I slept on the sofa yesterday, so why am I lying in bed?”
Ha Joon showed a relaxed smile at the question asked in confusion.
“I moved you to the bed because it seemed uncomfortable.”
“Oh. I see.”
It wasn’t like that day when she walked over and lay down next to him.
Before hearing Ha Joon’s answer, she had broken out in a cold sweat during that short time, and was about to let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, as if something had occurred to her, she opened her eyes wide and picked up the thermometer placed on the side table.
36.8 degrees.
“Fortunately, the fever is all gone.”
“It’s thanks to you, Su Ah ssi. You must have been tired from taking care of me. Did you sleep well?”
“Yes. I slept well. How about you, Ha Joon ssi?”
It was a question asked out of politeness, but Ha Joon, propping his head with his right hand, narrowed his brows and answered.
“I didn’t sleep well.”
“Why? My sleep habits aren’t that bad, are they?”
At Su Ah’s unexpected reply, Ha Joon let out a quiet laugh.
“Why indeed? Su Ah ssi sleeps well lying still, but why couldn’t I sleep well?”
“What are you saying…”
Something quickly passed through Su Ah’s mind as she trailed off, and soon Su Ah’s face began to turn red.
“Oh my! What are you talking about.”
“Why did your face turn so red, what were you thinking?”
“No, I wasn’t thinking anything, okay? Oh dear. Why such a…”
As she was flustered and hurriedly getting out of bed, Su Ah’s eyes caught the clock.
It was already time to start getting ready for work.
“Ah! What do I do? Work! I don’t even have time to change clothes, what do I do?”
Su Ah was pacing back and forth, clutching her hair.
Watching her, Ha Joon got up from the bed.
“Change into this.”
Ha Joon pulled out a dress from the wardrobe and handed it over.
“Huh? What dress is this?”
Su Ah took the dress and asked with a puzzled look.
In fact, this dress was a gift that he had prepared when Su Ah said she had finished submitting the documents.
It was the clothes he intended to give her, saying that she had worked hard preparing, regardless of whether the documents were accepted or not.
Until yesterday, it seemed like it would be quite some time before it could be delivered to its owner, but who would have known it would be delivered so quickly.
“I bought this a while ago to give to Su Ah ssi. Try it on.”
Su Ah, who had received the dress, looked at Ha Joon blinking her eyes.
“……?”
Unable to understand Su Ah’s gaze, Ha Joon simply gave a smile.
“Are you going to watch me change?”
Su Ah pulled her lips together and asked.
Oops! Ha Joon, who had been watching Su Ah’s face, hadn’t thought that far.
“Oh. I’m sorry.”
Ha Joon quickly apologized and moved towards the door, saying, “I’ll go out.”
“I’ll use the bathroom outside, so Miss Su Ah, please use the one in the bedroom. Meet me in the living room when you’re ready.”
As Ha Joon left the room, Su Ah examined the dress in her hands.
It was a neat officestyle dress.
So, Ha Joon likes this style of clothes.
She decided to buy clothes of this style in the future as she moved towards the bathroom.
A little later.
Su Ah, who hurried as much as possible to get ready, entered the living room.
Ha Joon was standing in the middle of the living room, apparently having finished preparing, waiting for Su Ah.
Su Ah rushed towards Ha Joon, who was standing looking at her.
Su Ah, who had reached right in front of Ha Joon, raised her head to look up at him.
“How is it? Do the clothes fit well?”
She spun around once after asking if it looked good.
His lips curled up at the sight of her looking so pretty.
“Yes. It suits you very well.”
“I thought so too. Thank you. I’ll wear it well.”
Su Ah and Ha Joon smiled at each other, and as if they had made a promise, they held hands and left the front door.
Ha Joon’s car smoothly pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road, and as the company got closer, Su Ah began to feel anxious.
Su Ah turned her head to look at Ha Joon.
“Mr. Ha Joon, once again, I want to say……”
“Yes. I know. Never pretend to know. Never give it away. Right?”
He interrupted Su Ah’s words as if he already knew well enough.
‘I’m still anxious. Anxious.’
There was no way his playful expression and answer could suppress her anxiety.
“You must never forget. Drop me off just ahead.”
Su Ah pointed at a nearby sidewalk.
“But isn’t this too far from the company? Can’t you drop me off at the company parking lot? There won’t be many employees there.”
“No, we can’t. It’s better for me to walk from here. It would be even stranger if I came up from the parking lot when I don’t even have a car.”
Ah……
Ha Joon’s lips parted slightly.
“Miss Su Ah, were you such a meticulous person?”
You’re just too relaxed.
Still with an uneasy expression, she pointed out the window.
“Oh! Here! Drop me off here. It’s a good distance, and there aren’t many people.”
“Alright.”
Knowing he couldn’t break Su Ah’s stubbornness, Ha Joon turned the steering wheel to the right.
“See you later if I can.”
Not knowing whether she understood his regret, Su Ah closed the car door and waved goodbye cheerfully.
“Be careful.”
“I will. Go ahead.”
She gestured for him to go first, and Ha Joon’s car slowly passed by Su Ah.
She had been worried about walking from a distance, but fortunately, because she hurried, she was able to arrive on time without being late.
Sitting in her seat, she turned on her computer and was arranging her things when a message notification popped up.
She clicked on the message notification window connected to her computer.
[What happened with Ha Joon?]
It was Ji Hoon.
Su Ah peeked her head out and looked at Ji Hoon’s desk.
Their eyes met immediately, as if he had been watching Su Ah from some point.
Withdrawing the gaze she had met, Su Ah began typing on the keyboard.
[Thanks to the team leader, everything was resolved well. Thank you.]
After finishing typing the message, Su Ah raised her gaze to look at Ji Hoon and carefully raised her thumb.
As expected, Su Ah. I knew you could do it.
In response, Ji Hoon also slowly raised his thumb.
Just then.
Rrrrrr.
The phone on Ji Hoon’s desk rang.
“Yes, this is Min Ji Hoon, the team leader of the Marketing Department.”
Ji Hoon nodded a few times to the person on the other end of the phone, ended the call, and immediately stood up from his seat, looking at Su Ah.
“Miss Su Ah.”
“Yes?”
“The Vice President has called regarding the proposal for the contest. Let’s go together now.”
It was a call from the Vice President.

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
