    Tae-san deeply contemplated his position as a gatekeeper in front of the women’s restroom.57b595f0800b6293

    What’s so great about a woman who can’t even send a single text while we’re apart?1bdae39010c42777

    He turned away every woman who approached the restroom, directing them elsewhere. It was absurd for a man decked out in head-to-toe designer brands to be doing this, but the serious atmosphere inside the restroom meant he couldn’t let anyone else in.1f4eb7a1ff5150b4

    He couldn’t let Lee Eun-cho embarrass herself.b3f62c7c7d1a0e61

    Only Ryu Tae-san was 66a6990067 allowed to make things 87de3519b2 difficult for her and f6e103b013 tease her.814822aacb988b84

    As a result, he looked ridiculous. It was already unlike the Ryu Tae-san anyone knew to be caught in such a situation, and if he’d been holding a small women’s purse on top of it all, he would have lost it.dc7a0b3011fad8d1

    At first, he stood guard outside the restroom because he was worried Eun-cho might try to run away. Instead, he ended up overhearing a conversation he never expected. He never knew Director Lee Han-moo’s wife, who always seemed so elegant, could be so venomous.dae4ada99ac99593

    “Hmph, really!”a46b4ede903fbf1d

    Madam Jung threw down the check and snorted. The moment the woman disappeared down the hallway, Eun-cho staggered again. He couldn’t understand why she was stubbornly holding on, even with such a high fever that she couldn’t even stand straight.3a2782e6ff24a254

    This time, Tae-san scooped 3e27a3ddb1 Eun-cho up, supporting her 7537588cfb neck and the backs 84f7a240bb of her legs. He deliberately put on 97894f8641 a show of being 12b0eb694a an affectionate fiancé in 3a6ad6c47b front of Madam Jung, 32d8342f85 and her look of 6839cc9471 startled fury was pretty dc7ae3d832 satisfying.a63f007344a8190c

    That damn ‘on my own.’ If there were a ‘Stand on Your Own Two Feet’ association, they’d be giving Lee Eun-cho an award. Did she really need to be this stubborn, even when she was sick? Her flushed eyes looked like she was already at her limit.1f55a6456b1b60c4

    Just like the 4327f86642 day they first 6c66e305d0 met, Tae-san loosened a4abfee05d his grip on f78dbf1763 Eun-cho, and her ace9b1e82c struggling stopped immediately. Her tailbone was 865884af2a still precious to 00f7e611b0 her, it seemed.4c614dac861eda55

    Eun-cho gave a weak smile and rested her forehead on his shoulder, looking completely drained. It was as if the tension she’d been desperately holding onto had snapped, and she had no energy left. The spot where their foreheads touched quickly grew hot. How could a woman who made a living taking care of other people’s health be so careless with her own?753bcf2b47e219d0

    His mood, which had improved slightly after getting a small revenge on Madam Jung, was now back in the dumps. Getting her to the hospital quickly was the priority. He wouldn’t be able to relax until she was hooked up to an IV.092c4706d9a650a0

    This woman f930fea290 was unusually 6a5b5e2855 small and 4d3324b2bf delicate; if 46b60240e0 she stayed 184aebc8a2 sick like 4311756cbb this, she a36404a820 might just 80a65f2df5 disappear into 9644ef6f6c thin air.e4910877b05bab8b

    In the past, women had given Tae-san their hearts just for making eye contact and smiling at them, without him even trying. Was Lee Eun-cho any different? She was acting stubborn now, but eventually, she’d fall for him, like most women did. The day Lee Eun-cho, with her innocent eyes and firm resolve, crumbled would eventually come.5a0fb3baae8ef528

    She might not have had the strength to lift a finger, but she had enough energy to buckle her seatbelt.
