When Si-woo arrived at Sung-ho’s house, he couldn’t get inside. He rang the doorbell dozens, hundreds of times, but there was no response, and several calls to Shin-young went unanswered. An uneasy feeling washed over Si-woo, and unable to stay still any longer, he went to the police station. The police officers who saw the photos of the assaulted Shin-young also recognized the seriousness of the situation and rushed to Sung-ho’s house with Si-woo. The loud siren and flashing lights of the police car surrounded Sung-ho’s house, and the police and Si-woo, who entered the house without Sung-ho’s permission, found Shin-young collapsed on the living room floor, unconscious and bleeding. “Mom! Mom, wake up! Mom!” Si-woo, his eyes wide with shock, held Shin-young’s hand tightly and sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. The police also arrested Sung-ho, who was sitting blankly on the sofa, as a criminal caught in the act. Sung-ho seemed to think he had beaten Shin-young to death when she lost consciousness. He had only intended to vent his anger on Shin-young and never meant to kill her, so he appeared to be in considerable mental shock. Lost in self-loathing, Sung-ho obediently followed the police, and Si-woo grabbed Sung-ho’s collar as he was being dragged away, threatening to kill him. “You bastard! I’ll kill you.” Si-woo was so enraged that he would have killed Sung-ho himself if the police hadn’t arrived. But Si-woo, who was raging about killing him, was soon restrained by the police, and paramedics who had been urgently dispatched entered the house shortly after. “Is my mother okay? Is she alive?” Si-woo, who hadn’t even wiped away his streaming tears, frantically asked the paramedics who were examining Shin-young. “Are you the guardian? She is unconscious but still alive. However, we suspect a cerebral hemorrhage due to contusions, so we need to transport her to the hospital quickly. Please come with us as well.” Thus, Si-woo headed to the hospital with the paramedics, and Shin-young, who arrived at the hospital shortly after, had to be rushed into the operating room. ‘Please... just save her. If you just save my mom, we’ll live quietly as if we don’t exist in this world.’ Si-woo, waiting in front of Shin-young’s operating room, prayed and prayed to a God he didn’t even believe in. ‘Please, I beg you. It’s too pitiful if my mom dies like this.’ Si-woo resolved to escape this hellish reality and live quietly if only Shin-young was safe. He also vowed to give up his endless greed for money, his obsession with Hye-mi, and his lingering feelings for Dan-jung, who could never be his. What good were those things if his mother passed away? “Guardian of Park Shin-young, the surgery went well. Your mother is safe.” Having made that resolution, Si-woo was finally able to confirm Shin-young’s survival after a long wait.

After that, time flew by like an arrow, and a month passed.

Si-woo submitted his resignation for Shin-young, who had been hurt both physically and emotionally, and left for a quiet rural village, while Sung-ho was sentenced to three years of imprisonment for injury resulting in death.

Of course, Sung-ho had to step down from his position as Vice President even before the board meeting was held because he had tarnished the company’s reputation.

And Dan-jung had been incredibly busy with the grand winter event being held at the hotel, while Min-hyuk also spent his days in a daze, having to sort out the businesses Sung-ho had left behind.

Even amidst all this, Min-hyuk and Dan-jung made time to be together whenever they could, but the time they spent together was ridiculously short, and their longing grew stronger and stronger.

So, they decided to take a week-long vacation to commemorate their upcoming hundredth day anniversary, and they lived buried in work for about a week without even being able to see each other for the sake of the vacation.

“General Manager Choi, how can you go on vacation on such a busy day...? Can’t you not go? General Manager Hwang is so scary.”

Ji-woo, a timid employee, wanted to hold onto Dan-jung, who was leaving for vacation.

This was because she relied heavily on Dan-jung, who would often flexibly cover up the mistakes she made.

“Oh, no way. I’ve been working like crazy, so I need to rest a bit too. Are you going to take responsibility if I collapse?”

“No, you mustn’t collapse. Then please have a good rest. I’ll work hard for your share too, General Manager Choi.”

Ji-woo, who had learned various things from Dan-jung, had already gained confidence in her new job, and her timid personality was gradually changing for the better.

And thanks to the good energy she received from Dan-jung, she came to love her work even more, and her loyalty to the company also deepened.

“Yeah, you’re doing well.”

Dan-jung patted the head of Ji-woo, the junior she had personally taught, and left the hotel with a cherished smile.

“Why did she smile so flutteringly and leave~ Did something good happen?”

Ji-woo, whose heart fluttered at Dan-jung’s smile despite being a woman, placed her hand on her chest and calmed her pounding heart.

“Min-hyuk-ssi must have arrived home by now, right?”

Dan-jung’s heart fluttered so much on the way home that it was distracting her from driving.

Today was the long-awaited hundredth day anniversary that she had been looking forward to, even marking it on the calendar.

Why had she brought up such unnecessary things and made things difficult for herself...?

Dan-jung felt regretful, but thanks to that, she could believe in Min-hyuk’s infinite trust and steadfast love.

And the distrust of love that had been lingering in her heart disappeared without a trace.

‘I should probably calm down a bit, though...’

But Dan-jung found it difficult to calm her fluttering heart as much as she thought she would.

It was because today she would become his real wife.

“Hehe~.”

Still, looking back now, even though they hadn’t done the actual act, it seemed they had done every other naughty thing that existed in the world.

What would it feel like? Would it be as ecstatic as when he touched her?

Dan-jung was so excited that she forgot it was her first time.

“Phew~.”

And having arrived home before she knew it, Dan-jung let out a big sigh and then calmed herself down by patting her cheeks.

“So this is the hundredth day you spoke of.”

As Dan-jung entered the house and took off her coat, Min-hyuk, who had turned into a wild beast, approached Dan-jung with fierce eyes gleaming.

How much he had endured and waited for this day! Min-hyuk had no intention of letting Dan-jung sleep tonight.

“Is today that hundredth day?”

Feeling a strange air surrounding Min-hyuk, Dan-jung feigned ignorance to ease the tension.

Then, Min-hyuk’s brow furrowed, creating several wrinkles.

“That’s right. The hundred days that even a bear endured to become human.”

Even though Min-hyuk knew that Dan-jung couldn’t possibly not know about their hundredth day, he clearly reminded Dan-jung of it.

“Hehe~.”

It was a joke he made, remembering what she had said, so Dan-jung burst into laughter.

But as Min-hyuk, with a face that looked like he was dying of impatience, moved closer to Dan-jung, the smile slowly disappeared from Dan-jung’s face.

“You’re not just going to get me all worked up like last time, are you?”

Min-hyuk whispered in Dan-jung’s ear and zipped down her dress.

Swoosh. Dan-jung’s dress fell lightly to the floor, and Min-hyuk stared intently at Dan-jung.

Thump, thump, thump. Even though it wasn’t the first time Dan-jung had shown him her naked body, her heart began to beat wildly.

Soon, Dan-jung’s face quickly turned red, and Min-hyuk, with a satisfied look, reached out and unhooked Dan-jung’s bra.

“You’re always beautiful.”

Min-hyuk, admiring Dan-jung’s white and soft skin, gently approached her and covered Dan-jung’s lips with his own.

But that was only for a moment; Min-hyuk, as if he couldn’t bear it any longer, put his tongue inside her mouth and showered her with intense kisses while gently caressing her skin.

He already knew everything about what Dan-jung liked, so Dan-jung’s body quickly heated up.

“Haa, haa.”

Min-hyuk, having easily aroused Dan-jung, focused on her sensitive spots, intending to make her even hotter.

Then, a sensual moan inevitably escaped from Dan-jung’s lips, and Min-hyuk glanced at such Dan-jung and continuously stimulated her.

“S-stop... I can’t take it anymore.”

Despite Dan-jung’s pleas, Min-hyuk hugged her waist even tighter, imprinting himself on every corner of her body.

And because he liked seeing Dan-jung’s sensual face, he looked up at her when her breath reached its peak.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Dan-jung knew very well that Min-hyuk liked to arouse her and then admire her.

It was a truly wicked habit, but strangely, she also became aroused by that side of Min-hyuk.

“You’re especially weak here.”

Min-hyuk, as if finding Dan-jung, who still had some composure, annoying, sucked on her and reached down to her.

But his hand didn’t go down any further and simply lingered.

Dan-jung looked at Min-hyuk with eyes that pleaded for him to touch her quickly, but he remained unmoved as if he had made up his mind.

Watching her yearning gaze was also exquisite.

‘Ah~ I shouldn’t get too excited...’

Dan-jung knew that he was deliberately teasing her, but she became increasingly heated by Min-hyuk’s sexy gaze as he looked at her.

She could only barely swallow the moans that escaped her lips.

Then, Min-hyuk smiled as if satisfied with Dan-jung’s physical reactions and suddenly picked her up, heading to the bedroom.

“......”

Held in Min-hyuk’s arms, Dan-jung kissed Min-hyuk’s moist lips, resolving to make him sensual and admire him as well.

Dan-jung kissed his lower lip slightly as if biting it, and then carefully caressed it again, as if teasing him.

And having discovered that his erogenous zone was his earlobe, Dan-jung once again put his earlobe in her mouth.

“Haa, I won’t hold back any longer.”

Having reached the bed before she knew it, Min-hyuk, panting roughly, gently laid Dan-jung down on the bed.

He had decided to end this long period of abstinence today.

And he now vowed to truly make Dan-jung his woman.
