“Haewon, why did you go there? Did she call you?”

“No, I came to see her.”

“Why?”

“……Do we have to meet for a reason? We’re family.”

Hae-won, who answered well, stuttered.

As Adam kept asking questions, she felt like she had to hide it for some reason. Anyway, why is Adam so inquisitive?

“Family.”

Adam scoffed at them.

“You wouldn’t think of that as a family.”

Adam was sarcastic and added.

Haewon’s grip of the seat and did not say anything. Then she glanced at Adam’s complexion. Adam didn’t want to see her meeting Elliefor no apparent reason.

A person who normally thinks in the first place doesn’t think that the fiance is doing something behind the scenes, and Haewon did the same.

“Don’t be mean for nothing.”

“Have I ever been mean?”

Haewon continued to speak in a calm voice.

“I understand how much Adam is worried about me. But it’s another thing to say bad things about my family, and it’s not polite to each other. Yes?”

“Then Haewon, curse too.”

“What?”

“To my brothers, swear to your heart’s content. I’ll allow it, and especially because it’s Haewon.”

Adam grinned. For a moment, Haewon was far away.

Hae-won pressed his forehead and bit back.

“Adam, are you 28 years old?”

“What’s with my age all of a sudden?”

Adam’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Haewon.

When she brings up the topic of age, he instinctively becomes wary. The fact that he was two years younger than her was a wall he couldn’t overcome no matter how hard he tried.

‘It’s new….’

Haewon was amazed by Adam’s response. On the surface, she thought he didn’t have many thoughts, but she guessed he was worried about being young.

Then wouldn’t it be possible to tame Adam with this? Hae-won insinuated.

“Why don’t you act your age?”

“Haewon, I didn’t see you like that, but you’re an oldie.”

Adam smiled predictably.

“Where did you learn to say…. that?”

“Why can’t I learn?”

Hae-won shut her mouth tightly.

Let’s not talk. Haewon has completely lost the will to speak. Anyway, she cleared up the misunderstanding, so it’s okay.

Then Adam’s arms wrapped around Haewon’s waist and asked softly, “Don’t you like guys who are jealous?”

“……What?”

Jealousy.

Is it a joke or a real thing?

Haewon pondered between two possibilities.

To be honest, she wanted to put more weight on the joke, and it was because Adam really liked her.

Be nothing more than a partner in a marriage of politics.

Beyond finding the source of jealousy, what is her relationship with Adam now?

At first, he came like a tide and soaked up Haewon, and then slowly escaped alone again.

But before she knew it, everything turned into an offshore stream.

Instead of returning alone like a low tide, it became a strong current and dragged Haewon into the sea.

The waves created by Adam came to the realm of emotion and shook the sea. She’s soaked now.

‘Take care of it properly.’

The chairman’s harsh voice flooded in like a furnace in Hae-won’s head. The complicated mind quickly turned into a sandy beach.

Hae-won looked like a drowning mouse and looked up at Adam. Words did not come out as if shells were stuck in her throat.

What should I say?

“Hahaha.”

Then Adam burst into laughter.

Adam, who held Haewon’s body tightly, put his chin on her shoulder and continued.

“Is this a question that will take so long?”

“It’s not that…….”

“Okay, Haewon doesn’t like guys who are jealous.”

Adam concluded in a clear voice.

Hae-won kept her head down, so he couldn’t tell what expression she was making. One thing was certain.

She shouldn’t have hesitated.

She should have said something.

The next day.

Haewon’s mind was filled with Adam.

Yesterday Adam went home late at night and Haewon had to spend an awkward night alone.

‘Don’t you like guys who are jealous?’

Why couldn’t she answer right away?

When she said she would take responsibility for him and yet not care about what he’s thinking of. It’s a shame that Adam smiled and mollified the situation.

It couldn’t be worse.

A horribly coward.

That was the reputation that Seo Haewon gave herself.

It was Hae-won herself who used Adam’s body to deceive the heat cycle, to silence misunderstandings.

So Adam’s words, “A physical relationship,” were not wrong. No, is there a more accurate expression than that?

But she didn’t want to define the relationship between the two with such painful words as a relationship with only the body.

‘There’s no love; there’s only a contract.’

Hae-won realized anew how innocent and foolish she was in the past. She kept getting upset when she thought of Adam.

Body and mind.

“CEO, CEO.”

“Oh.”

Hae-won suddenly raised her head at the sound of Bora calling. The long waiting line suddenly decreased, so it was Haewon’s turn to order.
