Sunghoon gently parked the car and swiftly moved to open the door for Hana.

He extended a hand, offering support as she stepped out, a touch of old-fashioned chivalry, before shutting the door behind her.

Hana couldn't help but smile at him fondly as he returned the smile. Though there was a hint of awkwardness from the previous night, there were now comfortable with each other's presence.

They moved towards the elevator before stepping inside. Their hands brushing occasionally as they silently appreciated each other's company.

Meanwhile...

Eunbyul was working quietly at her desk, focused on her work as usual. Haein was sitting at her desk, already going through some documents.

The peaceful silence in the office was briefly interrupted by Jaeyun's arrival, his mischievous grin widening as he observed Haein at her desk.

Jaeyun grabbed his phone, pretending to be on an imaginary call as he walked past Haein's desk.

He spoke loudly, ensuring she could overhear his fake conversation with his nonexistent girlfriend.

Haein's expression morphed from confusion to annoyance, her brows furrowed as she quietly seethed at Jaeyun's theatrics.

"What is he trying to prove? Asshole..." She muttered under her breath as she rolled her eyes.

Jaeyun's grin widened, thoroughly amused by Haein's reaction. He took his seat with a satisfied smirk.

Jaeyun turned his attention to Eunbyul and flashed a bright smile, "Good Morning, Miss Yun!"

Eunbyul smiled as she greeted him back warmly, "Good Morning, Mr. Sim."

Jaeyun couldn't resist the urge to provoke Haein further. He flashed a playful grin and greeted her teasingly, "Good Morning, Miss Song~"

Haein rolled her eyes, her response tinged with annoyance. "Good Morning, Mr. Sim."

The elevator doors opened with a "ding" as Sunghoon and Hana stepped out together.

Their entrance instantly captured the attention of Jaeyun, Haein, and Eunbyul, their eyes widening with surprise.

The sight of them entering as a pair was unexpected, making the air in the room crackle with curiosity and unspoken questions.

Jaeyun's expression was a mix of shock and anticipation, while Haein's eyes held a subtle flicker of surprise, and Eunbyul's eyebrows shot up slightly, a delicate question mark in her expression.

"Good Morning everyone." Hana greeted everyone with a sweet smile, followed by Sunghoon's more reserved, "Good Morning..."

"Good Morning!" Haein, Jaeyun, and Eunbyul exchanged greetings, their expressions masking their surprise.

Hana, seated between Eunbyul and Haein, was faced with their curious questions.
