The next morning.
Gyeonhui returned home before Sun woke up. He took a shower and wore a new shirt.
“Where were you last night?”
At that moment, from behind, Ojae’s voice was heard.
“You scared me. Make some noise before you come in.”
“Answer my question first. Where did you sleep last night?”
Ojae opened his eyes clearly and looked at him like he already knew everything.
Gyeonhui pretended like he didn’t hear him as he put on a jacket.
“Where were you? With whom?
“Please. Do I really have to report to you?” Gyeonhui’s voice raised.
“You were with Sun.”
“Hmm, hmm.” Gyeonhui just tried to pass him while clearing his throat.
“You look tired like you just worked out.”
“No, I’m not.”
Gyeonhui denied it. However, he couldn’t hide his tired face from Ojae. He couldn’t tell Ojae that he stayed up all night watching Sun’s sleeping face.
“That’s great. It’s better to just start seeing her again rather than be ambiguous.
Gyeonhui glared at Ojae, who was pretending like he knew everything.
Ojae couldn’t hide his happy smile from Gyeonhui like he had found some unexpected joy.
“Why are you so excited today?” Gyeonhui asked.
“Me? No, I’m not. Haha.” Ojae waved his hands, but he was still smiling.
“I think you need to go to the hospital… you’re insane.” Gyeonhui said to Ojae while furrowing his eyebrows.
“You’re right. I think I’m going crazy too because I’m so excited. Haha”
“Hah…”
“In fact… no. Nevermind. I can’t tell you.”
“Don’t. Please don’t.” Gyeonhui answered bluntly and tried to walk past him.
“If you really want to know, then I will generously tell you.”
“I said I don’t wonder, so don’t.”
“Actually… I…” Ojae just told him, ignoring Gyeonhui’s reaction.
“I’m seeing Eunyoung.”
“Why? Is there a problem with Kidz Fan?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. I’m seeing her as her boyfriend.”
“What?” Gyeonhui was surprised and asked him again.
“Since last night. Today is the first day of our relationship. Haha.”
Ojae couldn’t hold his beaming smile and twisted his whole body.
“Hah… that’s strange…”
Gyeonhui shook his head in sympathy and came out to the front yard.
At that moment, he saw that his dog Terry was lying down on the corner of the front yard.
Gyeonhui slowly approached him with some snacks that he liked.
As he stroked Terry’s head slowly and gently, Terry raised his head up toward him.
“Hey, buddy.”
Gyeonhui smirked, stroked Terry’s neck, and gave the snack to him.
Terry was excited and started gobbling up the snack.
“Oh, you guys look pretty close to each other.”
“Yeah, it’s not difficult anymore,” Gyeonhui said as if he realized everything.
Gyeonhui felt good as he petted Terry again.
At that moment, his eyes started suddenly stinging like they were being stabbed by something.
“Ow!!” Gyeonhui panicked and shouted while closing his eyes.
“What, what’s wrong?”
Ojae panicked, too, and asked him anxiously.
Covering his eyes, Gyeonhui furrowed his eyebrows. The sharp pain had subsided, but they were still painful.
“What the hell is she doing…” Gyeonhui said, still feeling the irritation in his eyes.
“Is it her pain again?”
Gyeonhui nodded instead of answering.
“… It’s so frustrating…”
While he was shaking his head, he suddenly stood up straight.

The Kidz Fan office.
“Ow!!!”
Her screaming echoed throughout the entire office. It was from Sun when her eyes were stabbed by a pencil eyeliner while she was putting makeup on.
“Ouch…” Sun moaned while rubbing her stinging eyes.
“Do you really like him that much?” Watching Sun from the side with her arms crossed, Ari asked.
“What do you mean?” Sun said.
“You’re putting makeup on which you never did before to look good for Gyeonhui.
“It’s not for him. I’m not young and pretty anymore, so I’m just trying to look normal.”
“Did you just realize that overnight?”
Sun glanced at Ari and looked at the mirror again.
“Love is just a miracle. It would make even a bear put makeup on her own face.”
“I said it’s not for him.”
“Don’t deny it. Wait a minute.”
Holding Sun’s cheek, Ari took a look at Sun’s eyes. Her eyes looked pretty bad, and they were inflamed.
“You’re doing something you never did before. You don’t even know how to put makeup on properly. Hah….”
“I saw online how to do it, and it looked so easy…”
Sun mumbled to herself, watching the online clip on her phone.
“This is frustrating! Give it to me. I’ll help you.”
Ari snatched the eyeliner pencil from Sun and started putting an eye line on Sun’s face.
Unlike Sun, Ari was very skilled and put a long line around Sun’s eyes.
“Wow… you’re really good at this… What’s wrong with me…?”
“You really have to do it often… like me… everyday… hah… never mind.” Ari was frustrated.
“Do it… how? Like this?” Sun asked while mocking Ari’s gesture.
“Hah… there is no way I would put makeup on your face everyday… Okay. You need to go somewhere at lunch today.
“Where?”
“You’ll know when you get there.”
‘Knock, knock.’
At that moment, the office door opened with the knocking sound, and Gyeonhui came into the office.
When he looked around the office, he gladly waved his hand at Sun when he found her.
“Good morning.”
However, he noticed that Eunyoung and Ari were in the same office.
“Good morning… Good morning…”
He greeted the two as well and left the office awkwardly.
“What’s wrong with him? I’m scared…” Ari said, smoothing down her own chest in relief.
“What do you mean you’re scared of him? He just came here to say hello.” Sun said, not being able to hide her smile.
“What’s that? Are you already on his side?”
“No, I’m not. It’s not like that.”
Ari shook her head when she saw Sun’s happy face with a smile.
“I have no idea what’s going on between you guys…”
‘Knock, knock.’
At that moment, the office door opened again.
Ari quickly shut her mouth, thinking it was Gyeonhui again. However, the person who came into the office was not Gyeonhui, it was Ojae.
“Hello, Eunyoung. Good morning.” Ojae greeted Eunyoung with a bright smile.
After that, he greeted Sun and Ari too, but awkwardly.
“… Hello, Sun and Ari…”
When he greeted them, he gave two cups of coffee to them too.
For the rest, he brought it to Eunyoung himself.
“Enjoy the coffee.”
Ojae smiled faintly and left the office.
“What’s going on with him? Coffee in the morning, for us?”
Ari looked at the coffee, not understanding the situation.
“Just appreciate him and enjoy your coffee,” Eunyoung said, taking a sip of the coffee.
