After she unpacked her stuff, Jennie retrieved the poster that Sungjae had torn that day.

That kid was a jinx!

Did he know how long she had kept this poster?

How could he tear it?

Forget it. She had decided to get a limited edition poster from him!

Jennie was about to mend the poster with tape when Lisa's voice interrupted her.

"Are you done unpacking? Do you need my help?"

She almost spat out in fright and kicked the poster under the bed in a fluster.

One could never do anything that betrayed their conscience. She had really gotten a fright!

She had almost forgotten that this was Lisa's place. She had to be more careful...

Jennie tried to look unruffled as she picked up the clove of garlic. As she hung it on the doorknob, she replied, "No, I'm fine! I'm almost done!"

She wasn't aware that Lisa's reaction speed was much faster than ordinary people's.

Hence, even though she assumed that she was fast enough, Lisa had already seen her kick the poster.

However, the man remained stoic as he surveyed her room. In a soft voice, he said, "Okay, rest early then."

She nodded furiously. "Alright, okay! Mr. Manoban, you should sleep early too!"

Lisa nodded slightly and turned around.

She heaved a sigh of relief when the man turned.

However, he merely took a step and halted. Then, he spun his head around and said, "Oh yeah, Miss Kim..."

"Wh- What?"

Jennie thought that Lisa had something to tell her and looked at him curiously.

Had he perhaps discovered anything?

The warm glow of the lights cast a faint golden glow on the man. His lens reflected some of the light, blocking his eyes.

The man watched her intently as his voice, which was as deep as a cello, said, "If you're afraid of sleeping alone, you can look for me."

Jennie, who was stunned by his offer, coughed violently.

Was... Was this an invitation?

Lisa chuckled when the girl looked shocked and turned around to leave.

She stood frozen on the spot. Her brains had gone haywire...

Calm down!

Why was her imagination running wild? Lisa had merely shown his concern. He was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep in a foreign place.

How could this possibly be... an invitation?

Hmmm...

Even if it was... she felt that it wouldn't compensate for dinner that night...

After washing up, she collapsed on the bed.

The bed sheets were soft and fluffy, and she could catch the fresh, sweet scent of the flowers and trees outside the window. Birds were chirping softly too...

Sleepiness befuddled her messy thoughts as she drifted off to dreamland...

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom next to her room...

The man had removed his spectacles and was reading a book in bed. He was wearing a bathrobe that was tied casually around him. His eyes gleamed darker and more mysterious than the night.
