he had only seen Ji Jingyuan in TV dramas. After meeting him in person, she truly understood why Cui Chengjun was so supportive of the casting change.Besides the workings and connections behind her, t...After leaving her home, Sun Na-eun put on a mask and hat. She scanned her surroundings cautiously with vigilant eyes. After finding nothing unusual, she began to speed up, running towards the agreed location.

To avoid attracting attention, she deliberately chose to run on dimly lit roads. After turning several corners, she reached the alley where Chi Jingyuan parked his car.

Sun Na-eun had just turned into the alley when she saw a rather luxurious black sedan parked there. She suddenly stopped her running footsteps, slowing down, panting lightly, not sure if it was because she had run too fast or because she was nervous.

She did exchange contact information with him because she had some feelings for Ji Jingyuan, but she didn't expect their relationship to develop this quickly. She also wasn't prepared for a formal relationship, after all, she had only debuted for over a year and her company was quite strict.

That day I couldn't hold back, my brain got hot and I sent a message. Then I held my phone and waited for a reply, until my heart was restless and unbearable, then I finally received one. After that, things just spiraled out of control.

At first, it was just casual conversation. But the more she interacted with him, the more she felt that spending time with Ji Jingyuan was both fun and relaxing. Every chat or call would always make her happy.

She already had a good impression of him, and both his appearance and personality hit her taste. She gradually became more and more invested and serious about him.

Now that I think about it, for her to be the one to message first, given her relatively slow-to-warm-up and passive personality, is quite impulsive. It's not at all like her usual self.

She had been in contact with him for over a month, and even though they hadn't officially defined their relationship, Sun Na-eun felt like they were already in love. Besides talking on the phone every day, she was really looking forward to seeing him in person.

But when she was really about to meet him, she suddenly felt nervous again. After all, there's a big difference between face-to-face and phone calls.

Son Na-eun walked to the back of the car, confirmed the license plate number again, then walked to the rear passenger door and knocked lightly. Finding it unlocked, she opened the door and leaned in to get inside.

With a slam, the car door shut, instantly isolating the outside noise and commotion.

The car was eerily silent, a world apart from the bustling activity outside.

Son Na-eun took off her hat and mask, sitting on the right side of the back seat.

She wore a light pink chiffon dress. The fitted style showed off her great figure. Although her face was a little chubby, her waist looked extremely thin.

The skirt wasn't long, only reaching her knees. When she sat down, the hem of the skirt retracted slightly, revealing slender calves and a smooth thigh. Even though the car wasn't lit, and visibility was dim, one could still easily see the paleness in the shadows.

She was wearing a pair of white running shoes. Because her thighs were close together, her legs looked slightly inward. Her hands were clasped tightly on her thighs, with several bracelets and ornaments adorning her wrists. She nervously twisted her thumb against the other hand, trembling slightly, clearly very anxious.

Her soft, long hair gently covered her cheeks, cascading down to her chest. The ends were slightly curled, and a light-colored butterfly hair clip adorned her forehead, serving as the perfect finishing touch.

Overall, she appears innocent yet with a hint of sexiness.

At this moment, Sun Na-eun bit her lips, lowered her head and stared at her shoes, occasionally stealing glances at Ji-yeong who was sitting beside her. Her clenched hands tightened, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Even though they were already very close over the phone, once they met in person, they found themselves speechless. They had so much to say but couldn't utter a word. Even looking at each other felt awkward and formal. All they could do was sit there, battling their own nerves and completely surrendering the initiative.

> This might be the real her.

Ji Jingyuan didn't let the silence last for too long. He turned his head and glanced at Sun Na-eun, who was bowing her head. In a casual tone, just like he did when they talked on the phone, he casually asked, "Is it hot"

"Well, I…" Chi Kyung-won's voice seemed to release Sun Na-eun from her tension. She let out a breath of relief and looked up towards Chi Kyung-won, replying softly.

She had just uttered the words when they were cut short.

As she turned her head to look, Ji Jingyuan leaned over and pressed his lips directly onto hers.

"Sun Na-eun's eyes widened instantly, she gasped sharply, her whole body froze. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet, they hung there uselessly, like a wooden puppet without its spring."

Chi Jingyuan held her waist with one hand, and the two bodies were close together.

Although she was incredibly surprised, Sun Na-eun didn't have much resistance. She gradually closed her eyes, hugging the other person's back with one hand and placing the other on her own knee, where Ji-yeong's hand was clasped in hers.

My heart, which was about to leap out of my chest, calmed down for some reason. The tension that had been constantly swirling in my mind gradually dissipated.

The bustling sounds of people on the nearby Main Street continued to reach their ears, reverberating around the car yet tightly separated. Even passersby who occasionally came by hurried along, their footsteps echoing especially clearly in the alleyway.

Moonlight streamed over the towering office buildings and illuminated the car's hood, casting a faint glow that revealed two figures embracing, their silhouettes barely visible on the rear window.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally slowly parted ways.

With a gentle tug, Ji Jingyuan pulled Sun Na-eun, who had just sat up straight, into his arms. She leaned against Ji Jingyuan's chest naturally, her hands hugging his waist.

Both of them remained silent, quietly holding each other as they sat there, listening to the faint sounds coming from outside and enjoying this tranquility.

The former grandeur was gone, and now all that remained for Sun Na-eun was a dreamlike feeling. She felt a little dazed, but it was a sweet kind of daze.

"Are we officially dating now"

After a long time, she raised her head. Her big eyes were a little dazed as she looked at Chi Jingyuan and asked in a soft voice.

"Not at all."

Chi Jingyuan shrugged, his voice languid.

With a 'tap,' Son Na-eun pouted and lightly hit Ji-seong, her strength as gentle as if she were being playful.

"Aren't you talking nonsense You clearly know this already, yet you still ask"

Despite the disdainful tone in his voice, Ji-yeong reached out and grasped Sun-a's hand, interlacing their fingers.

Son Na-eun hummed softly, nudging her head against Ji Kyeong-won's chest before settling in a little further.
