“A secret… for Seo Hyun.”

Ji-ho fired the employee to keep her away from… Hyun.

“At the company.”

“The president won’t be coming in today.”

The office was in shock.

“Is he… sick?”

“Yes…”

You didn’t know, Seo Hyun.

Since you spend all your time with the president, I thought you knew.

Said one of the company employees.

—

Seo Hyun hesitated.

She didn’t know why…

Maybe it’s because I didn’t know, or because I feel weird.

But she went anyway.

—

Ji-ho’s office was silent.

Too silent.

—Ji-ho?

—

Nothing...

He must not be here.

She opened the door to the room.

And there he was.

Lying on the bed.

Pale.

Sweating.

—

Hyun gently touched his forehead to see if he had a fever.

— ...he has a high fever.

—Hey...

Ji-ho slowly opened his eyes.

So you came. I didn’t think you would.

If that’s the case, I can’t help but love you even more, Seo Hyun.

—Kang Ji-ho thought.

—You came...

His voice was weak.

But happy.

—

Without hesitation...

She took his hand.

And squeezed it.

Don’t leave...

Seo Hyun sighed.

— I’m not leaving.

—

Ji-ho closed his eyes.

And murmured: 

— Then I’m okay.

—

Hyun stayed there.

Longer than she should have.

End of Chapter 6:

“You’re the only thing I need to be okay.”
