“Yes, yes?” “You don’t have a problem with this, do you?” How did he know. Of course, the suspicion was slightly greater than the dissatisfaction. However, I tried to console myself by thinking that this was better than the sharp demeanor I had witnessed before. No, in fact, I might have started to feel good upon recognizing that I was still a necessary person to Seo Heonyoung. “Oh, not at all! Actually, something came up, so I was just about to call you to say I couldn’t make it.…-

Time passed uneventfully. Yeonoh was gradually adjusting to the new department, familiar yet unfamiliar tasks, and new colleagues he was working with for the first time. Even as he struggled through each day in an environment that flowed naturally around him… “Yeonoh.” “…….” “Yeonoh!” Whenever the relentless pace of daily life showed even the slightest crack, thoughts of Seo Heonyoung would slip through, sometimes plunging him into a bottomless abyss. Like now, for…-

If it were Seo Heonyoung, perhaps it would be different. Whenever he called Yeonoh’s name in that cynical, weary tone, his heart trembled as if caught in a summer cold. Despite causing such a mess and being forcibly transferred to another team, the fact that his subconscious still reached for Seo Heonyoung proved this hopeless one-sided love was running counter to his will. He needed to thank someone for the water purifier, but he racked his brain over how to broach the topic appropriately. Yeonoh’s…-

Hastily wiping tears with the back of his hand and clearing his throat with a cough, Yeonoh spoke calmly. “Thank you. Even with the department transfer, I’ll complete the handover perfectly.” He could only hope that the saying about distance from the body leading to distance from the heart was true. “Good. Well done.” With that, he left the office. Determined to remain detached, he packed his belongings into a box. Having treated the place like home for three years, he had more items…-

Whenever Ji Yeonoh was weighed down by worries, life always seemed to lie, shattering those concerns into dust with yet another trial. Seowon, who constantly caused his parents grief by fighting with friends due to his mischievous nature, became a leukemia patient overnight. His father, tormented by troublesome passengers, died a tragic death. The anxieties Ji Yeonoh harbored over his unrequited love ultimately turned to dust before Seo Heonyoung. Why hadn’t he stopped sooner? He regretted it deeply.…-

“I won’t do it again, Executive Director.” “How do you plan to clean up water that’s already spilled?” Ji Yeonoh crawled closer on his knees, bowing deeply as he pleaded. “I’ll quietly resolve it so it causes no harm to you, Executive Director. I’ll live as if I’m dead, truly. Please, please reconsider the firing.” “You’ve already harbored other intentions behind my back. How can I be sure these words aren’t lies?” Lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied…-

“There’ll be reporters from our side, so don’t act surprised.” “Uh, okay.” By the next morning, the reporters Yeonoh had contacted would break the news of the couple’s not-so-secret rendezvous. Their marriage was already an established fact in the chaebol world, so there was no issue. It was merely Heonyoung’s strategy to promote the new product being developed through the TG and JM collaboration. The two sat at the table guided by a staff member. It was a splendid seat with a full…-

His senses snapped awake. There was no time to cry. There was neither emotional nor temporal luxury to mourn or honor his father’s death. It was a luxury he couldn’t afford. With the debts already piled up and the new ones from the accident settlement, a single day wasn’t enough, and he sometimes resented having only one body to work with. But perhaps there was no law decreeing death, as the scholarship from the TG Foundation allowed him to breathe a little easier. From then on, he threw himself…-

Arriving home and fresh from a shower, Heonyoung sat on the sofa. He set down a glass of whiskey on the coffee table after a sip and ran his hand back through his hair. As comfort enveloped his body, fatigue finally began to creep in. When a moment to catch his breath came like this, stray thoughts often accompanied the exhaustion, usually dredging up the most irritating memories first. ‘That person likes you, hyung.’ The moment he heard something he absolutely didn’t want to believe, it felt…-

Now, the present. "Are you tired?" On the way back from JM’s headquarters, Heonyoung’s face looked unusually exhausted, as if lost in deep thought. Was it the aftereffects of the rut and suppressants? Yeonoh asked with concern. "Not really." Heonyoung gave a short reply, closed his eyes, and slightly lowered the window. The breeze coming through the gap ruffled Heonyoung’s bangs a little. "I’ll take you straight home." "No, let’s stop by the shopper room first." "The shopper…-
