“What are you doing?”

Minhyuk approached Danjung, who was lying on the bed scribbling something on paper.

Having lazed around in bed all day, Danjung, looking much better, covered the paper with her hand.

“I’m writing a love report, though it’s late. I’ll show it to you when it’s finished since it’s not done yet.”

“Hmm~ It seems like it’s already too late to write a report about love...”

Minhyuk was already confident about love.

He thought he had perfectly mastered love, even if he didn’t understand other emotions.

“Why? You told me to write about the love I want.”

“Does that mean you’re not satisfied with me loving Danjung?”

“Yes.”

Danjung gave a short answer and then started scribbling on the paper again.

“What are you dissatisfied with?”

Minhyuk, taken aback by Danjung’s prim reply, retorted as if he was sulking.

Then Danjung put down her pen, sat up straight, and faced Minhyuk.

“First of all! Minhyuk-ssi is too lewd.”

“To make love, you have to do lewd things...”

“That’s your opinion! Not mine.”

“Not yours? So even if I do lewd things, Danjung doesn’t feel love?”

Minhyuk moved closer to Danjung’s face.

They were close enough for their lips to touch with just a slight movement.

‘Ugh! Why is he so unnecessarily handsome?’

Danjung had a sudden urge to kiss Minhyuk’s sexy lips.

But she had just said something, so she had to hold back.

Besides, she didn’t want to get caught up in his game anymore.

“Anyway! Lewdness isn’t everything about love.”

“Then what else is there?”

Minhyuk asked as if he didn’t understand.

In his opinion, feeling sexual attraction was also love, and doing lewd things made him feel happy.

Happiness and love were clearly emotions on the same spectrum, so he couldn’t understand what else there could be.

“For a woman, love is a very complicated thing. For example, kissing me when you wake up in the morning...”

“I think I already did that.”

Having spent their first night at the hotel, Minhyuk had woken Danjung with a kiss the next morning when she couldn’t wake up to the alarm.

But Minhyuk, as usual after a kiss, had wanted to explore Danjung’s skin, and in the end, he had become lewd again.

“Not like that.”

“?”

Minhyuk looked at her as if he couldn’t understand Danjung’s words at all.

“That’s too sexual... it’s lewd.”

“Then how should I kiss you?”

Minhyuk asked, gently placing his lips on Danjung’s.

Then, he slowly began to savor her lips, teasing Danjung.

Thump-thump, thump-thump.

Danjung’s heart raced uncontrollably at Minhyuk’s sweet kiss.

Her heart felt like it would burst just from their lips touching, so how could she resist doing lewd things?

Danjung was annoyed that she had fallen for his game again, but her body was burning hot against her will.

But Minhyuk, who had no intention of doing anything lewd, soon pulled away from Danjung’s lips.

“Is this how it’s done?”

“Haa, haa, yes... well, I think that’ll do.”

“Then I’ll kiss you like this every morning. What else is there?”

Minhyuk intended to find out everything about the love Danjung desired.

“......Just a moment.”

Danjung calmed her excited body and picked up the paper lying on the bed.

It was still unfinished, but it seemed like a good time to say what she wanted to say.

“And I’d like you to hug me before you go to work.”

Danjung said, recalling the first night she had spent with Minhyuk.

Of course, she knew he wasn’t like ordinary men, but she had felt quite hurt by Minhyuk, who had just said what he had to say and disappeared without any hint of affection.

“That’s not difficult. I’ll do that.”

“And please let me know in advance when you’re going to work late. I’d like you to give me some notice about personal appointments.”

Danjung frankly expressed the things she had felt hurt by while meeting Minhyuk so far.

“And?”

“Hmm~ and... I’d like you to think of me first. And please don’t do things I don’t like.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, I think that’ll be enough.”

Having poured out all the hurt feelings she had kept inside, Danjung smiled brightly with a relieved expression.

“I will grant Danjung whatever she desires. However, I also have a few requests.”

“What are they?”

“As I said before, don’t smile in front of other men.”

“Yes?”

“I would like you to smile only in front of me.”

Minhyuk always felt uneasy looking at Danjung’s bright smiles.

Even he thought she was this beautiful, so other men would surely think the same.

He wanted to steal her smile and only return it when he wanted to see it, but he couldn’t do that... so Minhyuk had no choice but to firmly tell Danjung.

“I can’t even smile?”

Danjung looked at Minhyuk’s serious face and asked again.

Judging by his stern expression, he was definitely not joking.

“No.”

“But smiling is like a professional habit for me. And I’m going to become a general manager someday, so I can’t greet customers with a stern face.”

“Then how about changing your profession now? I’ll set up a shop for you if you want.”

“Are you serious?”

“I’m serious.”

“Wow~ really! Do you know that my dream is to be a hotel general manager? Don’t you?”

Danjung, suddenly feeling angry, questioned Minhyuk reproachfully.

“I’ll set up a hotel for you if you want.”

Minhyuk had momentarily forgotten that Danjung was a woman with big ambitions.

She wasn’t someone who would be satisfied with just a shop.

“So you’re telling me to just sit in an office as a hotel owner?”

“Danjung doesn’t seem to know... a hotel owner doesn’t have time to just sit around. They’re very busy.”

“Anyway, my dream is to be a hotelier. I’d like you to respect that.”

Danjung didn’t have the confidence to win an argument against Minhyuk.

When it came to persuading people, he was more outstanding than anyone else, if nothing else.

And frankly, the thought of him setting up a hotel for her... wasn’t entirely unappealing.

“Lawyer Lee! Why is that guy here?”

Hyemi, looking haggard, flared up when she saw Siwoo in the prison visiting room with her lawyer.

“Well...”

Lawyer Lee had heard the recording of the conversation between Siwoo and Hyemi, so there was no other way.

“I asked to meet her. Otherwise, I said I’d tell the press.”

Siwoo approached Hyemi, shaking his phone.

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome if this blew up in this situation?”

“What do you want?”

“I told you. I want to marry your sister.”

“Huh! Dream on!”

Hyemi, not considering her own situation, still sneered at Siwoo dismissively.

But Siwoo would no longer tolerate being ignored by her.

Hadn’t she fallen even further into the abyss than he had?

“Is that so? Then there’s nothing I can do. Don’t blame me.”

“Wa-wait a minute.”

As Siwoo turned around without any lingering feelings, Hyemi’s heart grew anxious.

She wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, and if he spread the recording, she would have no hope left.

It was a connection she wanted to sever with chills, but she was already tied to him by an unbreakable bond of ill fate.

“So, have you changed your mind now?”

“You keep your promise too. You said you’d give that person to me.”

“Ha! Noona, you’re really hopeless. Isn’t it time to let go of your lingering feelings?”

Siwoo, dumbfounded, looked at Hyemi with contempt for the first time.

Why hadn’t she come to her senses yet?

Her excessive attachment to him had dragged Hyemi down... yet she was still walking down the path of destruction.

“Seduce that woman, drug her and sleep with her, or get rid of her from Sunbae. Then I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Hyemi whispered into his ear in a small voice that Lawyer Lee couldn’t hear.

“Even if I get rid of that woman, Hyung Minhyuk won’t come to you, Noona. Are you still okay with that?”

“Yeah, I don’t care.”

Hyemi hated Danjung, who had stolen her man and her happiness.

If it weren’t for Danjung, she wouldn’t have had any reason to end up in a place like this.

With such paranoid delusions, Hyemi sharpened her blade of revenge, vowing to divorce Danjung and ruin Minhyuk.

“Alright, I’m happy to if you want. But since Noona might change her mind later, shouldn’t we get it notarized? Lawyer Lee is here too, after all.”

“Do whatever you want!”

Hyemi, who had already lost herself, was willing to do anything Siwoo asked if it meant she could divorce Danjung and Minhyuk.

Time flew by in an instant, and it was already the last day of their honeymoon.

Danjung had spent dreamlike days with Minhyuk, swimming, snorkeling, taking walks, and having romantic dinners...

But strangely, Minhyuk no longer acted lewdly.

He was still gentle with his heart-melting manners, but at night, he would only hold her hand and sleep, doing nothing more.

Moreover, when Minhyuk woke up in the morning, he would arouse her with a soft kiss and then nonchalantly disappear.

‘Is it because I was sick last time?’

Thinking that, Danjung deliberately acted more cheerful and brighter, but Minhyuk’s behavior didn’t change.

Then, feeling inexplicably hurt, Danjung resolved to have a hot night tonight.

She couldn’t let the last night of their honeymoon pass so blandly.

“Let’s drink wine.”

“Outside?”

“No, I want to drink intimately here.”

“Then I’ll order something to eat as an appetizer.”

Danjung had changed into a red dress with a deep V-neck in both the front and back, hoping for a passionate night with Minhyuk, but Minhyuk mistook it for going out.

“Ah~ I don’t want to go home. I want to live here.”

Danjung, her cheeks slightly flushed from a glass of wine, looked out at the sea.

“That’s a bit difficult... but we can come often.”

“Instead of that, how about our hotel also starts a resort business?”

“It’s not a bad idea. But it’s premature. First, we need to successfully lead the Jeju Hotel to gain the trust of investors.”

Minhyuk was actually as ambitious as the vice president.

So, he couldn’t possibly support Seongho, who was constantly eyeing his position.

Moreover, Le Soleil Hotel had already experienced a period of instability due to Seongho’s reckless business ventures.

Therefore, the success of the Jeju Hotel was a crucial matter for securing investors with strong financial backing.

“Ah~ I see.”

Danjung hadn’t realized that Minhyuk was so concerned about the Jeju Hotel.

Moreover, she found Minhyuk, who answered her casual remark with such seriousness, attractive.

“So?”

“Yes?”

“You don’t think I don’t know, do you?”

Minhyuk glanced at Danjung’s white skin visible between her chest line.

“Wha-what is it?”

“Didn’t I say I was too lewd?”

“It’s true that Minhyuk-ssi is lewd.”

“Then what about Danjung? Isn’t wearing that lewd?”

“Th-this... yes! Actually, I deliberately looked for something lewd to wear.”

“What do you want?”

Minhyuk really couldn’t understand this side of Danjung.

Her double standards and illogicality of it being okay for her but not for him.

“Well, it’s because Minhyuk-ssi only holds my hand and sleeps every night... Today is the last day!”

“So you want to spend tonight lewdly?”

“......Yes.”

Danjung was embarrassed that he had caught on to her attempt to seduce him.

But she felt a tingling sensation, thinking that at least tonight would be passionate.

“Then take it off.”

Minhyuk stared at Danjung with intense eyes.
