In line with her common routine, she would get up round 7 am, roughly wash her hair nonetheless in a daze, placed on some easy make-up in a short while to optimize the method, and go away the home with out consuming something. Then, she might get to the workplace at round 8:05, which might pace up the circulation of the remainder of the day. As for the leisure of mendacity down in her house and watching TV for a short time after work, it relied on her robust and diligent workhorse may.

It was one of the best she might do.

After getting into Si-Jin’s firm there was nothing Na-Yool was prouder of in her life than the truth that this routine turned a pure behavior. She was not even a excessive schooler, however she wakened at 7 day-after-day! She might prepare and go away the home in 20 minutes! To her, that sense of satisfaction was nearly as good as meals to energy up.

However to assume waking up at 6:50 am on this home made her really feel like lagging behind!

Like a legal on the run, Na-Yool as an alternative washed her hair extra speedily than every other time, barely put any make-up on aside from her eyebrows, and regarded by the purchasing bag that she had thrown in a nook of the dressing room. She didn’t have a lot baggage, so why is it that she couldn’t discover exactly what she wanted! Simply as she fished out a shirt, she heard a brief knock on the door.

“—Sure?”

“Come eat breakfast.”

“I’m good!”

Na-Yool busily answered by the door and turned her consideration again to her shirt solely to frown, noticing it was crumpled throughout. With out realizing that Si-Jin was peeking at her in her again, an identical frown on his face.

“What do you imply, you’re good?”

“Ahh, you scared me…!”

“There’s nonetheless loads of time. Take it straightforward and are available eat first.”

“I often don’t eat breakfast earlier than work… It should delay me extra, so don’t look ahead to me, and simply eat by yourse—”

“—Eat.”

The reiteration was, in truth, nearer to an order than a suggestion. Si-Jin already minded her small urge for food, so it was not arduous to think about how he will need to have acquired it when she mentioned she was skipping a meal solely. Na-Yool put down her shirt with a sigh and tottered out of the dressing room following him.

Two slices of bread and scrambled eggs. It was very simple in comparison with what he had ready over the weekend, but it surely was nonetheless an expensive desk for Na-Yool.

A heat slice of toasted bread actually couldn’t examine to her unique no-time-to-eat mornings!

Shortly forgetting how she had simply refused it, Na-Yool took a chunk of bread in a relaxed temper and sat down. She was carrying her nightdress on prime, tucked right into a skirt she had simply placed on with no stockings, however she didn’t care as a lot about her outfit as earlier than. It felt unusual. She questioned how sharing her every day life with Si-Jin got here so simply, when she might by no means do it even with an ex she had dated for an entire 12 months. Simply how did she find yourself making a ‘first’ with such a cussed man?

Till now, might such an exception exist if not accidentally? To her, and clearly to him as effectively, at the moment was an exception. Yesterday, and the day earlier than too, additionally have been. This man, who was extraordinarily cautious of different males, and each obstinate and self-indulgent to no finish. This man, who proudly, and surprisingly, eagerly, strives to make a dwelling ‒ plainly mentioned, a pathological arduous employee.

Setting apart their private skills and backgrounds and easily them as people, nothing about them suited one another. Si-Jin ate his meals quick however unhurriedly like somebody used to time his consuming time, then he stood up whereas Na-Yool was barely midway by her meal to go make his notorious wholesome smoothie. Sure, issues like this. Issues like consuming one thing good for his physique ‒ and at a set time, no much less ‒ or utilizing his time to the minute…

“…Can I not drink this at the moment?”

“Why? You drank it superb yesterday.”

“However at the moment is a working day…”

“Much more motive to drink it.”

“Quite the opposite! Going to work is already upsetting, do I’ve to drink such a tasteless factor proper from morning…”

Na-Yool pleaded in earnest with a tearful face, and Si-Jin’s coronary heart appeared to melt. With a barely extra indulgent expression, he took the cup he had positioned in entrance of her. After which, put it down nearer to her.

“……?”

“Right here.”

“Didn’t your expression and motion play out utterly otherwise simply now?”

“I even added an apple for you. It’s candy.”

So what if he added apple? The smoothie had some disgusting shade, on the sting of one thing neither utterly inexperienced, blue, or grey. As Na-Yool glared on the smoothie in disbelief, Si-Jin so kindly lifted the cup and introduced it to her lips.

“Get that away…! Am I Jang Hui-Bin or what?” [T/N: Jang Hui (or Hee)-Bin is a consort who was sentenced to death by poisoning, which she drank somewhat willingly].

“Act your age, don’t whine like a child.”

“Ah, actually…”

Na-Yool reluctantly took the cup and gulped it down. If that is what performing her age is, she doesn’t wish to do it anymore. She swallowed the final drop whereas repeatedly mumbling about her social life.

“Isn’t it candy?”

“…Are you kidding me?”

The smoothies which Si-jin insisted on each morning might contend for the highest worst meals Na-Yool had ever eaten in her life. In fact, in their very own league. Yesterday’s smoothie VS the one from the day earlier than, at the moment’s smoothie VS tomorrow’s one…

Si-Jin gazed at Na-Yool’s face, which was as rotten because the style, with the kindest eyes ever.

“If you happen to really feel the pure style of the substances, you’ll sense the sweetness even with out sugar.”

The place did this naturalistic culinary researcher pop up from?! Each time one thing like this occurred, Na-Yool was confused. It was as if Si-Jin and the roguish pervert with the lewd mouth who solely spoke vulgarities weren’t the identical individuals.

How might somebody be constant by being so inconsistent?

There’s coherence in his incoherence; after he unrestrainedly displayed how a lot of a handful wacko he was, he then appealed that he was a standard and sound individual. In fact, it was arduous to imagine so for the reason that order was already tousled.

Na-Yool’s eyes pierced at him, and he or she put down the cup which she had been subconsciously clutching.

“It isn’t simply carried out, therefore the necessity for sugar. It’s a results of human evolution. Peculiar individuals’s style buds aren’t as delicate as these of gourmets such as you, in a position to awaken on the faintest taste. So right here I really feel like I’m being deceived.”

“It’s a rip-off good to your well being, don’t you assume?”

“…So that you agree that you just tricked me, am I proper?”

“If you happen to don’t plan on going to work in simply your underwear, I recommend you placed on a prime quickly.”

“Ah.”

“Attractive me proper from the morning, I swear.”

“……”

After sitting on the desk on this apparel with out feeling misplaced to this point, the sudden staring gaze made Na-Yool really feel ashamed of her present outfit.

She hurriedly obtained up from her seat, however then squinted her eyes at Si-Jin as she realized that he had swiftly turned the dialog round like he all the time did ‒ which is, in his personal favor.

“What?”

“……”

“What’s up?”

This angle, this haughty boldness that struck individuals speechless, was the cherry on the highest. It was the angle of a person who clearly thinks he’s all the time in the fitting and doesn’t really feel a speck of incoherence in his actions.

“You aren’t really within the temper for it, are you?”

“I’m.”

“Everytime you wish to keep away from a topic and distract my consideration, I do know you all the time say this on objective. To make me neglect what we have been speaking about. I’m totally conscious of it.”

“Nope. You very a lot excite me proper now.”
