"My apologies but I have some work to do. I'll see you at dinner." Hyun Bin said the minute they were at the foyer.

Ye Jin smiled softly at Hyun Bin and nodded her head. "Of course, thank you for taking me out today. I enjoyed myself. See you at dinner."

Hyun Bin found himself captivated yet again by his wife's eye smile and couldn't help but let out a tiny smile of his own. The action felt foreign to him but the flutters he felt in his chest as he smiled felt nice to him.

Is this what happiness felt like? Or is it something else? Pushing those thoughts aside, Hyun Bin gave his wife a small bow and proceeded up to his study, subtly gesturing to Secretary Kang to help her with the bags.

Ye Jin was lost in her own thoughts as she watched Hyun Bin retreat to his study. Seeing Hyun Bin smile, even if it was a tiny one, warmed Ye Jin's heart and she knew that he was slowly but surely opening up to her. Ye Jin also noticed the dimples when Hyun Bin smiled and couldn't help but think that he is especially charming when he smiled.

"He should smile more..." Ye Jin thought with a smile as she turned to get the bags from Secretary Kang.

"Ji Wan ssi, you're back!" Mdm Ji Hyun said when she caught sight of them. Her eagle eyes saw the bags and she offered to keep them immediately.

"Let me do that. You can enjoy the rest of your day and rest. You must be tired." Mdm Ji Hyun fussed as she took the bags from Secretary Kang.

"Aniyo, let me do it. These are my clothes after all." Ye Jin protested.

After all, Mdm Ji Hyun is an ahjumma to Ye Jin and she still didn't feel comfortable letting her serve her. Ye Jin respects her elders deeply and she despised letting them do things that she could very well handle. She should be the one taking care of them.

"Aniyo, I insist. Please go and rest. I promise this is not too much." Mdm Ji Hyun left no room for argument.

As much as Ye Jin didn't want her to keep her clothes, she knew that Mdm Ji Hyun was as stubborn as a bull and so, she caved. After conversing with Mdm Ji Hyun for a bit, Ye Jin got changed and went back to the garden, determined to finish planting the rest of the seeds by dinner time.

As before, Hyun Bin's halabeoji was in the veranda getting some fresh air when Ye Jin arrived and the two conversed as Ye Jin continued planting the seeds. Her laughter filled the air and drifted up to where Hyun Bin was sitting in his study.
