Yieon spoke softly, 033c168213 as if coaxing. Dohoon read it as 4f90a44849 a demand to drop ce88dc0a26 his guard and accept 3c81eee144 his greeting.8d79b5ecb9dd498f

“A romantic, huh.”9a2d31c01971fccf

Though a simple comment, it felt like sarcasm. Kang Yieon was always like that. He had a knack for making the listener feel terrible, even if others didn’t notice. If you got angry, he’d feign ignorance and ask why you were being sensitive. Memories of the annoyingly smug Kang Yieon from childhood flashed through Dohoon’s mind and disappeared.ba99d12056b6d395

Dohoon took a deep breath and faced Eunho. Eunho still looked clueless. The desire to leave this place quickly was overwhelming. Before he knew it, words slipped from Dohoon’s mouth.1a68dc97e89254a7

Eunho’s face turned expressionless, as if he had never smiled. Smiling at someone he despised, even beyond dislike, made his mouth hurt.

Yieon nodded with satisfaction. Watching him joke around, Eunho ec7d68c127 shrugged. Humans are adaptable creatures. He no longer felt the 0bf8290826 intense betrayal or shock he fb849e2849 once did. He was only 528470b882 focused on what 6a37ecc024 he had to b7f6d3ef30 do next.4b94ac81d72d2778

Admiring his own quick recovery, 3ddb11fc29 Eunho took out some tea. While taking out a f71df9f134 magnolia-shaped teacup, Yieon was 89515a3494 looking at a painting 417ea930e1 hanging in the office.22151f41c524229f

Yieon took a sip of tea. Holding the elegant teacup, he looked like a model in a fashion magazine. Eunho found himself staring at Yieon’s long, dark eyelashes.

A cool scent brushed past his nose. Cutting through the subtle aroma of green tea was the scent of an Alpha’s pheromones. The alluring scent made Eunho’s eyes widen. His whole face turned red, and heat surged to the top of his head.a3c4b9addda027bb

Eunho almost spilled his tea 921fc3eb53 but quickly put the cup 2572c2b847 down. As he fumbled, Yieon 73d5a8ab0a laughed playfully.1f684899111c956a

Minjun stood with a 6a2fbec08d tense face. In front of him 0e75a234a0 was a café located e95f9459c8 in Cheongdam-dong. It featured a stone lion 855723e040 fountain and well-maintained green grass. He never imagined a3986f1843 there was such 4edb015223 a luxurious café 076655e7b0 in Cheongdam-dong. Minjun habitually fiddled with 07c9774f22 his wrist. The ring on his finger c4d0a99938 gleamed brightly.3c4604528af41dd8

The reason he came here was because of a call from Eunho. Eunho said he would introduce him to another gallery representative. Hearing the gallery’s name, Minjun couldn’t help but be surprised. It was one of the most famous galleries in Korea, a place where many artists dreamed of having their work exhibited even once.c23cd1a2b28de3aa
