Chapter 76.1

"Haaah..."

On the train heading to Seoul…

Jung So-rim, who was fiddling around with her smartphone, let out a sigh.

It was naturally because of her boyfriend.

-Let's go on a romantic dinner tomorrow. I remember you liked that place we went to before.

Her boyfriend, who didn't know anything about the actual circumstances, was being especially friendly to relieve Jeong So-rim's anger.

In contrast, she felt guilty.

Because she had deliberately fought with him, got angry, and then went down to her parents' house to hide her affair.

Yet, even in the midst of their argument, Jung So-rim had lied to her boyfriend and was going to meet Lee Hyeon-woo a day early.

'It can't be helped. My mistake can't be reversed.'

She had already taken the path of a cheater.

Now, it wouldn't matter whether she cheated once or twice.

After all, she had already cheated on her boyfriend, so she had to achieve the goal of having done such a deplorable thing.

'All for a happy married life together…'

-Okay. Let's talk more tomorrow. I will contact you when I arrive in Seoul tomorrow.

Jeong So-rim abruptly ended the conversation.

The guilt of having cheated on her boyfriend made it hard for her to keep a long conversation going.

"Hyunwoo-nim? Where are you? Oh, I see you there. I will come to where you are."

After she got off at Seoul Station, Jung So-rim called Lee Hyeon-woo right away.

She looked around to find him, but all she found was a black sports car.

It was easy to spot it amongst the bunch because it had a distinctly different appearance to that of domestic cars.

She marvelled once again as she walked towards his sports car.

"Sorim-nim. Give it to me. I'll put it in the trunk."

"Oh, thank you."

Lee Hyeon-got got out of the car after seeing So-rim Jeong, who had brought her carrier with her.

Seeing him smile brightly, a smile caught on Jung So-rim's lips as well.

She would put aside her guilt to the corner of her mind for this short while.

'Because this is work.'

She would express emotions and laugh around him, just so that she and her boyfriend could lead a happy life in the future.

Jung So-rim deceived himself like that.

"Oh, are you wearing the clothes I bought you?"

"Ahaha... It's because I have some luxury clothes now but nowhere to wear them. I wouldn't wear it unless I was meeting up with Hyunwoo after all."

"That's great. They fit very well. As expected, your body is what stands out. It's not the clothes that make you look good, but your body which makes the clothes look good."

"Ah, don't flatter me so obviously!"

"It's true. Wait, haven't we said our hellos yet?"

"Huh? Hello?"

'Haven't I been saying hello to you all this while? What else does he need for a greeting?'

As Jung So-rim raised such doubt, Lee Hyun-woo tapped on his cheek.

"Have you already forgotten? How we greet each other."

"Ah..."

As if Jung So-rim understood his actions, she slightly lowered her head.

Her face had flushed slightly.

"Come on. This is a parking lot, so we can't stick around for too long."

"Yes."

At Lee Hyun-woo's urging, Jung So-rim moved her body closer to his.

She leaned over and placed her lips on his cheek.

'This is still work. It is just a service to quench the desires of a big shot.'

Jung So-rim self-hypnotized herself into the act.

But she couldn't stop her heart from racing while doing so.

*Chu*

There was a fluttering feeling within her as her lips touched his cheek.

The corners of Lee Hyeon-woo's mouth curled upward happily.

"Now it's my turn to say hello, right?"

"Huh?"

"What are you so surprised about? If there is something given, there must be something given back."

Having said that, Hyunwoo Lee stretched his upper body toward the passenger seat.

And then he stole her lips.

It was certainly too much for just a simple greeting.

But Jung So-rim did not push him away.

"Oh!"

Lee Hyun-woo's lips enveloped hers.

They were warm and soft.

She could feel the thrill of a current of static electricity course through her.

She didn't want to feel good.

But it felt so good.

Fortunately, the moment he stole her lips was short-lived.

Lee Hyeon-woo didn't bother kissing her with tongue and all, and after putting their lips together, he immediately went back to leaning against his own seat.

"I'm driving."

Hyunwoo Lee smiled charmingly at her.

"Yes Yes..."

*Throb.*

'Why has my heart been beating so needlessly since earlier? Wake up, stupid heart.'

It was hard for Jung So-rim to keep ahold of her mind and the emotions brought about by interacting with someone of the opposite sex.

Clearly, Lee Hyun-woo hadn't changed.

He was very relaxed, well-mannered and sought active skinship.

With just a look, one couldn't objectively say that he was handsome.

When compared on a purely objective plain, her boyfriend looked much more handsome.

He was also much taller.

'But why is this happening now? Do I find Lee Hyeon-woo more attractive?'

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Hm... Yes! Huh?"

Jung So-rim, who had been struggling with her emotions, and thought what she was thinking would surely not be the case, became startled.

"Ha ha, what were you thinking so hard about?"

"No, no. I ate lunch... Have you not eaten?"

"No, even though I had the time. Maybe it's because I worked hard today, I'm quite hungry."

"Oh, then you should eat first. They say that if a Korean's stomach is not full of rice, then we will always be hungry."

"Ahaha, that's right. I also have to build up my strength if I want to give you a lot of loving later on."

"Ah..."

Jung So-rim blushed at the mention of their escapades.

It reminded her of the other night.

That day, Jung So-rim had found out what real sex truly was.

"Do you like Korean food?"

"Huh? Yes Yes. I like Korean food. Korean food is my favourite."

"Then there is a place I know. Let's go there."
