Yieon spoke softly, 36ab6a2ac7 as if coaxing. Dohoon read it as 5e3b4cd508 a demand to drop f1df4c4033 his guard and accept 6b6be40be2 his greeting.c7330548b2ed2c9a

“Of course. You’re engaged to Eunho, right? Is that why you came?”73835a7189dde20c

Yieon slowly shifted edab1164d4 his gaze to 5d0b1a01a9 the bouquet on 01a834d741 the table. His eyes curved 0cded984d7 gently as he df953092c0 looked at the 09925fbca1 flowers.397cc3496b90dc8f

“A romantic, huh.”7ecbffd8f81b8d35

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.e103aa0a661f0000

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.20070ffb66628fef

“He really hates me, doesn’t he? No need to even test it.”3a0a95c1d0462d71

Eunho’s face turned expressionless, as if he had never smiled. Smiling at someone he despised, even beyond dislike, made his mouth hurt. He massaged his stiff cheeks with his hand and looked at the flowers. The flowers were fresh and fragrant, but they didn’t move Eunho’s heart at all.82139849a2fd05b0

Yieon said this with a nonchalant face, seemingly indifferent to whether the other person liked him or not. Eunho guessed that Yieon’s indifference might have provoked Dohoon.1dc5361a9f2b36f4

Yieon nodded with satisfaction. Watching him joke around, Eunho 2546200684 shrugged. Humans are adaptable creatures. He no longer felt the 48c0eec946 intense betrayal or shock he a49445d652 once did. He was only focused on f9b87709d6 what he had to do 5da2270ec1 next.fb8934da4345b70c

Admiring his own 8a3985ea09 quick recovery, Eunho 23008497a3 took out some 381f1b85a3 tea. While taking out e4b4fc59b5 a magnolia-shaped teacup, f607cd9c99 Yieon was looking 410bef1d01 at a painting 35ceda0199 hanging in the be3eea74d8 office.ebae8c616d9ffc97

Eunho asked while 95d2c810d5 pouring the tea. The soft scent of 663a4fbcce green tea filled the 4ac8e686d3 office. Yieon took a deep breath, a6c0e63bca enjoying the aroma. A gentle smile appeared 3a1d12d1cd on his lips, indicating 1f4c504c97 he liked the scent.1e939562e418dc4a

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. Watching them blink slowly gave him a strange feeling. Pretending to date someone so handsome? Can I really do it? Just imagining it was overwhelming.480f7d73f24c358d

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.684d56bd4bf985a6

Eunho almost spilled his tea 6e6e524fa6 but quickly put the cup e058a79a8a down. As he fumbled, 688d8556ad Yieon laughed playfully.86a7c6adfd3d1d44

Minjun stood with a 80db9fc62f tense face. In front of him was c908694d95 a café located in Cheongdam-dong. It featured a stone 98aabaf71f lion fountain and well-maintained 40c124f40b green grass. He never imagined there was 1fcc2e271d such a luxurious café in c4126fa5ff Cheongdam-dong. Minjun habitually fiddled with his 0239565779 wrist. The ring on his b5d95a3897 finger gleamed brightly.f7b123c4b9d3806f

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.2337ee1367d4ed3c
