The Second Proposal

The dull pain in his waist felt upon waking. In the midst of memories from the previous night evaporating after heavy drinking, when Suhyun woke up in the morning, there was someone beside him who absolutely shouldn’t have been there. It was Kang Hyunkyu, the son of the CEO of the company Suhyun works for.

All Suhyun had done was ask Hyunkyu for help to avoid a marriage forced by a family pride feud, but somehow, they ended up having a one-night stand. And to make matters worse, Hyunkyu insists, with unwavering determination, on moving into Suhyun’s cramped house, declaring they’ll live together.

“Change the mattress. Starting today, I’m living here.”

“…Isn’t this a bit too much…?”

But to avoid the unwanted marriage, Suhyun has no choice but to hold on to this man. So, drenched in pheromones, Suhyun goes to work and starts spreading rumors about their one-night stand far and wide. And when everyone comes to know about their supposed relationship, Hyunkyu, whom Suhyun thought was cool and detached, begins to show signs of obsession…

“I won’t forgive affairs or illegitimate children. …Because I’m your boyfriend now.”

“You sure are a lot of work.”

Despite his words about me being a “hassle,” his voice was meltingly sweet. This man is driving me crazy. I feel like my heart is going to beat itself to death.
