Chapter 44.1

Jung So-rim had come to the dinner table after much deliberation and convincing herself that it would only be that one time.

This would be her first and last date dinner date with a man beside her boyfriend, and she never intended to go to bed with him

Of course, Lee Hyeon-woo, a rich second-generation, would want to sleep with her.

But she believed that with sincere persuasion, she could keep the cash-back relationship going and not have to start a physical relationship.

But at dinner, she made a big mistake.

She got drunk on the first expensive wine she had ever tasted.

Jeong So-rim woke up in the morning, startled enough to want to scream.

However, the surprise soon calmed down when he clarified that nothing had happened.

She was wearing underwear, and there was no weird feeling in her genitals.

So she planned to leave after taking a shower.

But soon conflict arose within her due to Lee Hyun-woo's pressure to make the next appointment with her.

Sure, it was true that she had ruined the meal by mistake.

It was technically the right thing to go for a meal again.

But she didn't want to cheat on her boyfriend again.

Because she still felt a lot of guilt.

Surprisingly, however, Lee Hyun-woo had given her a luxury gift.

He gave her a tracksuit and a bag with the logo of a luxury brand.

She had never thought she would get her first luxury product in a situation such as this.

Jeong So-rim lived quite frugally.

But it wasn't that she didn't want to indulge in extravagance.

It was because there was no money to spend on luxury items with a traditional Korean musician's income.

She lived her life thinking that accessories like luxury items were expensive and not practical.

But when it came to real life, she found it looked very pretty and beautiful.

The intense troubles within her were over.

Jung So-rim opened her mouth.

"Tomorrow... No, shall we see about the day after tomorrow?"

Jung So-rim made an appointment again.

The next time she was to see him, she might betray her boyfriend.

But Jung So-rim lied to herself.

'This is necessary.'

Where else could she earn 20 million won a month?

In order to improve her relationship with the second generation, Lee Hyeon-woo, it was only right to go on a dinner date with him.

And since she had already revealed that she has a boyfriend, she might be able to refuse to sleep with him if her persuasion is sincere enough.

Because Lee Hyun-woo appeared to be a gentlemanly person.

'Didn't nothing happen between us yesterday or today?'

Her clothes were only taken off because they were soiled with food.

"Hmm, I have an appointment the day after tomorrow. How about late night tomorrow?"

Tomorrow, he had to go to Hwasun's streaming station.

But he didn't have to stay too long because he was only going to give his greetings.

Since Hwasun's stream was from late evening to night, he thought it would be around 10 pm when he would leave after having said hello.

"Late night...?"

"Yes. I have something to do in the evening, so I think it will be around 10 o'clock. Shall we meet for a drink? This time, not the unfamiliar wine, but a light beer."

It was an outright temptation.

Although Jung So-rim's only experience with men so far was with her boyfriend, she knew what this meant.

A drink late at night with only two adults- a man and a woman.

After that, the duo would naturally go to bed.

'What to do…? Should I decline?'

She was troubled once again.

Then, she felt the smooth leather in her hand.

Jung So-rim fooled herself once again.

'It will be fine. It's not like I know for sure that something will happen. I could be guessing the wrong thing.'

And she convinced herself that Hyunwoo Lee was a gentlemanly man, so he wouldn't lay a hand on her if she refused properly.

And she had already said she was taken, so he wouldn't dare to have a bite.

Eventually, Jung So-rim nodded her head.

"Yes. Then see you tomorrow at ten."

"Okay."

"Oh!"

Jung So-rim was taken aback by Lee Hyeon-woo's behaviour of suddenly standing up and hugging her.

Since both of them were wearing only a gown of their forms, the shape and warmth of each other's bodies could be felt.

Lee Hyun-woo hugged Jeong So-rim and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey, Mr. Hyeon-Woo!"

"While still in the middle of the meal date, Ms sorim is technically my girlfriend, right? I always kiss my girlfriend before she leaves for home."

"That, but that... haah, I get it. But next time, please say something first. I was very surprised."

"Yes. I will tell you next time."

"No, it was not that bad... I'll put on some clothes first. Thank you so much for the gift. I will use it well."

Jung So-rim went back to her house.

Lee Hyun-woo also prepared to leave.

It was Saturday, but the gym would be open.

A demonic trainer awaited him.

Lee Hyeon-woo, who changed into sportswear, left the room, but a call came in on his smartphone.

It was a wake-up call from Yeojjing.

"Um... Brother... have you woken up... ?"

It was the voice of Hana Kim, who was drunk on sleep.

Hyeon-Woo Lee let out a laugh.

"Is this still a wake-up call if you wake up after me?"

"Ah, what can I do when my oppa wakes up earlier than me... And I stream until late at night."

"It's alright. I'm going to exercise now, so get up quickly and get ready. Do you know where the gym is?"

"Uh... Okay. I'll be there on time, haam..."

Hana Kim yawned as if she was sleepy.

He didn't know if she was going to sleep again after he hung up the phone call.

Feeling uneasy, Hyunwoo Lee spat out one last incentive.

"I won't buy you shoes if you're late, so be on time."

"Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll be there just in time for my oppas workout to end. See you later. Love you! Chu."

Coquettishness and aegyo oozed out at the end of the call as if a spinal cord reflex.

Since she behaved like that even though she was sleepy, she could truly be called a fox.

"One more. Chu. The last one."

"Hang up...!"

He had heard it was the last one already multiple times!!
