A woman in a neat black suit carrying an enormous amount of shopping bags entered the house.

Wow. What is all this?

Eun Jae’s eyes widened as she shared some of the shopping bags the woman had been carrying and went inside the house.

Is this not shopping addiction?

As Eun Jae looked at the shopping bags with a puzzled expression, the woman approached her.

The woman began to take out items from the shopping bags one by one. It was when she was feeling something odd about all of them being made of airy materials in pastel tones.

“I brought both size 44 and 55 just in case, as the sizes vary a bit depending on the brand, so it would be good if you try them on. What shoe size do you usually wear?”
“Me, me?”
“Yes. You are Ji Eun Jae, right?”
The woman asked as if she was checking the name on a tablet.

“Yes, I am Ji Eun Jae.”
“The professor personally asked for this.”
The woman, who smiled beautifully, said while holding up a neatly folded dress.

“You may not be familiar with this brand. It’s a brand called F, which F company targeted at women in their 20s from last year, F/W new arrivals—”
“Um, excuse me, can I make a phone call?”
Eun Jae asked the woman for permission and picked up her mobile phone to call Sun Woo.

The call connected after a few short rings, and the man’s voice came through.

[Yes.] “Um, professor. The guest has arrived.”
[Tell her your size and accept them.] “Me? But why do I have to—”
[She’s a busy person. Just tell her your size and accept the items. I’m busy. I’m hanging up.] “But, professor!”
While Eun Jae was staring blankly at the woman due to the abruptly ended call, the woman’s phone rang.

Without saying anything, the woman just answered ‘yes’ four times and hung up.

“Ji Eun Jae, I need your size.”
The woman asked concisely and smiled brightly.

There were over ten sets of clothes, shoes, sneakers, bags, a few accessories, cosmetics, and even underwear.

The woman, who had set up all the clothes and accessories for her to wear that day, left the house with a bright smile until the end.

“What on earth is all this?”

Eun Jae, unable to believe the astonishing scene, let out a long sigh as she looked at the items that filled the living room floor.

After hearing the explanations, trying on clothes, and trying on shoes, she looked at the clock that had already well passed 3 o’clock. Eun Jae hurriedly picked up a bathrobe and a towel and went into the bathroom.

It had been an especially tiring day, perhaps because he was tied up in surgery all day.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Sun Woo glanced down at his wristwatch.

4 o’clock.

It was obvious that she would be waiting with only a sandwich eaten by this time. Thinking of such a woman, Sun Woo, feeling impatient, sent a text message to Eun Jae.

I’m leaving work now. Come down to the parking lot in 20 minutes.

As soon as he sent the message, Sun Woo flung his mobile phone onto the passenger seat and gently pressed the accelerator.

Perhaps because he left in a bit of a hurry, there wasn’t much traffic and he arrived a little earlier than expected.

Sun Woo parked his car and picked up his mobile phone. There was no reply from the woman, whether she had checked the message or not.

Sun Woo immediately called Eun Jae. After a long ring, an automated voice notified that the call had been missed.

With a tilted head, Sun Woo quickly got out of the car and pressed the elevator button. His hand pressing the button looked urgent.

Inside the elevator, he called Eun Jae again, but again it was missed. Sun Woo’s expression looked anxious while riding the elevator.

Because she was a woman who seemed reachable but then became distant.

As soon as he arrived at the studio apartment, Sun Woo, who stood in front of the front door with quick steps, used his card to enter the house.

“Miss Ji Eun Jae.”
As Sun Woo entered the living room without even wearing his slippers, he saw the back of a woman pouring water from the water purifier.

Only after confirming the woman’s presence did Sun Woo let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing her in a robe, it seemed she had just come out after a shower. A familiar shampoo scent faintly wafted through the living room.

The woman who had been drinking water turned around at the sound of Sun Woo and greeted him.

“Ah, you’re here. It’s already time…”
“I didn’t see the text…”
Sun Woo was unable to finish his sentence and suddenly turned around.

This was because the curve of the woman’s body was clearly visible through the parted bathrobe.

“I’m sorry. I was in the bathroom and fell asleep without realizing…”
Suddenly, he felt a heat rising in his face. Sun Woo, with his large hand brushing across his face, spoke while turned away.

“Miss Ji Eun Jae, please put on some clothes first.”
“Huh? Clothes?”
At Sun Woo’s words, Eun Jae looked down at her robe and only then noticed it was open, clutching it closed in surprise.

“Ah, this, the robe is too large.”
“……”
“I’m, I’m sorry.”
