Jeongyeon sighed and worked hard, feeling exhausted. She searched for a house to rent but had no luck, so she returned to Mr. Youngso's home after sunset. Nayeon also helped Mrs. Heejin with chores and sold fishes until noon, despite their insistence for her not to do it.

When Jeongyeon arrived, Nayeon rushed towards her upon hearing her voice from the kitchen, eager to hug her. However, Jeongyeon gently pinched Nayeon to stop her, causing an awkward moment before Nayeon retreated to the kitchen.

---
"Is dinner ready?" Mr. Youngso asked from the table. Mrs. Heejin replied from the kitchen that it was ready. Jukyung smiled at Jeongyeon and pulled out a chair for her. Jeongyeon bowed and sat down, puzzled by Jukyung's playful hair-stroking and shy giggles.

Nayeon, observing from the kitchen, grew annoyed watching Jukyung flirt with Jeongyeon but remained silent, setting the table with food. They all ate together and later retired to their rooms for the night.

-----------

Nayeon locked the door and leapt onto Jeongyeon's lap, embracing her tightly as she urged her to lie down on the bed. Jeongyeon burst into giggles and tickled Nayeon, showering her neck with gentle kisses. As Nayeon settled into the crook of Jeongyeon's arm, she draped her leg over Jeongyeon's stomach and snuggled close, whispering softly,

"How are you, my love?"

Jeongyeon's eyes fluttered open, and she gazed deep into Nayeon's eyes, her face breaking into a warm smile. "I'm okay, my love. How are you doing?" she asked, her voice filled with tenderness as she stroked Nayeon's cheek.

Nayeon's face lit up with a smile, and she pecked Jeongyeon's lips before responding, "Wonderful!"

Jeongyeon's eyes locked onto Nayeon's, filled with love and adoration. She glanced at Nayeon's lips, then back at her eyes, and slowly leaned in for a kiss. Nayeon's eyes drifted closed, anticipating the touch of Jeongyeon's lips. Just as they were about to connect, a loud knock at the door startled them, interrupting their intimate moment.

Jeongyeon chuckled at Nayeon's annoyed expression and got up to open the door, revealing Jukyung's bright smile. Jukyung entered and promptly sat beside Nayeon on the bed, gesturing for Jeongyeon to join them. "Come here," she said, patting the space next to her.

Nayeon let out an exasperated sigh, while Jeongyeon nervously chuckled and gulped before sitting down. Jukyung immediately took Jeongyeon's hand, tracing her fingers over the cuts and scrapes on her palm. "What happened to your beautiful hands, Miss Jeongyeon?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

Nayeon quickly intervened, taking Jeongyeon's hand from Jukyung and examining the cuts with a worried expression. "Oh, it's just from lifting heavy things at work," Jeongyeon explained, trying to downplay the issue.

Jukyung nodded sympathetically and pulled out a tube of ointment. "I've got just the thing for that," she said, gently applying the cream to Jeongyeon's cuts.

"Take care of yourself, Okay ?"

Nayeon's jaw tightened with jealousy, and Jeongyeon, sensing the tension, quickly pulled her hand free from Jukyung's grasp. "I've got this, I can take care of it myself," she said with a chuckle, trying to diffuse the situation.

Nayeon forced a straight smile and added, "Yeah, Miss Jukyung, you should get some rest. It's already midnight." Her tone was polite but firm, hinting that it was time for Jukyung to leave.

Jukyung nodded understandingly and smiled before heading to her room.

-------

As time passed, they faced challenges, especially Jeongyeon, but their happiness grew, finding joy in sleeping next to each other and waking up to each other's faces. Even though they only had a few hours together, it felt like a dream, like paradise.

Jeongyeon had been house-hunting for nearly two weeks, and she was on the verge of finalizing the house the next day.

-------

Nayeon was alone in the kitchen, preparing breakfast when Jeongyeon quietly entered. She looked around to ensure no one was there and then sneakily wrapped her arms around Nayeon's waist, hugging her from behind.

The scent of Nayeon's damp hair intoxicated Jeongyeon, as if Nayeon was her addiction.Jeongyeon pushed back her wet hair, revealing her bare neck. She leaned in slowly and planted a soft kiss on it.

Nayeon was taken aback, turning to look at her with a blushing face and whispered, "Stop it, someone might see us." Jeongyeon gently caressed her cheeks, resting her chin on Nayeon's shoulder, and replied in a flirtatious tone,

"No one is here."

Nayeon giggled shyly while continuing her task. Jeongyeon moved her hand to the front of Nayeon's face, turning it towards her. "After so long," she whispered before tenderly brushing her soft lips against Nayeon's rosy lips, sending shivers down her spine. It felt like their first kiss, the passion of the moment making them crave each other even more.

Nayeon softly giggled against Jeongyeon's lips as she felt Jeongyeon's hand exploring her waist and moving down. Jeongyeon smirked before gripping Nayeon's neck, deepening the kiss by sucking on her lips, she pulled ger closer, rubbing her body against Nayeon's. Nayeon opened her eyes and caught sight of Jukyung, who was watching them with wide eyes.

She blinked several times, nudging Jeongyeon slightly. "Jeongyeon, stop," she whispered. Jeongyeon pulled her closer, unaware of Jukyung kissing her neck, and asked, "Why?" Nayeon pushed her again, this time harder, and said,

"Look behind."

Annoyed, Jeongyeon turned around and saw her worst fear: Jukyung standing there with arms crossed."I knew something was off from day one," Jukyung chuckled bitterly.

"Can you not tell anyone, please?"

Jeongyeon pleaded in a soft tone. "But why should I?" Jukyung questioned with attitude. Nayeon, already irritated by her presence, retorted in the same tone, "If you don't want to, then fine, we don't care either." Jeongyeon shot Nayeon a warning glare, signaling her to be quiet.

"No, please, I do care. Don't tell anyone. What do you want?"

Jeongyeon asked, moving closer to Jukyung. Jukyung smirked and replied, "Alright then, when you move to your new place, I'll come to visit one day, and we'll hang out all day. Deal?"

Jeongyeon glanced at Nayeon, who was pouting. "Alright!" Jeongyeon exclaimed, causing Nayeon to be taken aback. Nayeon grabbed her by the arm, "Why?" She bit her lip anxiously.

"Nothing bad will occur, please, I don't want anyone finding out. I'm sorry," Jeongyeon reassured her, giving her a quick peck on the forehead. Nayeon nodded reluctantly but still harbored discontent.

Jukyung happily giggled and left, leaving Nayeon sulking as she got back to work, silent. Jeongyeon embraced Nayeon from behind, whispering, "I'm sorry, please." Nayeon, still upset, stayed quiet.

"My nabong, please!"

Jeongyeon pleaded. Nayeon, increasingly irritated, held her hand and said, "Look at this, your hands with scratches haunt me every day. I hate that you work while I don't. Please try to understand." She spoke in a serious tone.

Jeongyeon, feeling a pang in her heart, gazed at Nayeon's face, cupped her cheeks, and said, "Listen, love! I enjoy working for us both. I want to spoil you like a queen. You're already cooking and doing my laundry; that's work too. I just don't want you to have a job." She smiled and gave Nayeon a gentle kiss on the lips.

Nayeon, still sulking, remarked, "And what about that Jukyung, huh? I don't like her." Jeongyeon, holding her face gently, replied, "I don't like her either. We just have to be cautious. No one will approve of us, and I'm sorry. I'll be more careful." She pouted slightly.

Nayeon chuckled at Jeongyeon's adorable expression, saying, "Enough of this act, let's have breakfast." Jeongyeon agreed, giving her a kiss on the shoulder before sitting beside her at the dining table.
