Side Story 8
Suhyeon looked at Jeonghan with blinking eyes and let out a gentle laugh.
“Are you jealous of Director Joo right now?”
Despite Suhyeon’s incredulous tone, Jeonghan’s expression remained stern.
“Of course I am. I’m even jealous of that woman Yoon Bora you’ve been meeting often lately.”
“Bora? Oh, really…?”
Suhyeon wrinkled her face and burst into laughter.
The thought of Do Jeonghan being jealous of Bora was beyond imagination. That intimidating, cold man.
“Why are you laughing? I’m being serious.”
Jeonghan narrowed his eyes, wearing a displeased expression, but Suhyeon couldn’t contain her laughter.
Finally composing herself, she gazed at him and cupped his face with both hands.
“I had no idea you were such a jealous man, Jeonghan.”
A soft smile still lingered at the corners of her lips, traces of laughter remaining.
“…”
Though her smile had already melted his heart, Jeonghan maintained his stern expression and said,
“Well, now you know. I’m jealous of everything around Seol Suhyeon.”
He spoke in a low voice, meeting her gaze directly. Despite his deliberately strict expression, his eyes burned with intensity. They were filled with undisguised affection.
Suhyeon steadily returned his gaze. Her eyes curved beautifully as she looked at him up close.
“Then… keep being jealous. I like your jealousy.”
Whispering, Suhyeon gently pulled his face closer and initiated a kiss.
Soft touch
Their lips parted moistly after the gentle contact, and their eyes met again.
“…”
Seeing his darkened eyes, Suhyeon curved her lips into a smile. Watching her enchanting smile without blinking, Jeonghan suddenly captured her lips in a surprise kiss.
“Ah…”
A brief sound escaped as her lips were consumed.
As his tongue deeply invaded and intertwined with hers, their breaths quickly grew hot.
Exhale
Jeonghan’s breath was hot as he reclaimed Suhyeon’s lips, which were releasing warm sighs.
As the kiss deepened, Suhyeon embraced his masculine neck.

For Jeonghan and Suhyeon’s second wedding, they headed to Virgin Island on a private jet, carrying both guests and reporters.
It wasn’t the private jet used by Cheonkyung’s chairman couple, but rather the one primarily used by company executives.
The space was divided into multiple hotel-style rooms, equipped with a briefing room, conference room, banquet hall, and fitness room. Since it was meant for executives’ overseas business trips, it focused on private quarters and business functionality.
Bora was exploring the private jet’s interior with Hyunwoo.
“Wow… this is mind-blowing. I had no idea a private jet could be this spacious. It’s so different from regular planes, isn’t it?”
Hyunwoo nodded in agreement.
“I bought a new camera just for today—definitely a good decision.”
Bora glanced at the camera in his hands.
“But do you really need such a fancy camera?”
“Of course, it’s necessary for work purposes.”
Hyunwoo pushed up his glasses with his fingertip and answered seriously, though he slightly avoided Bora’s gaze.
“Ah, I see. Right. Let’s go with that.”
Bora grinned, then suddenly looked toward the corridor and her expression brightened.
“Suhyeon unni!”
Bora waved enthusiastically.
In the corridor, Suhyeon was greeting someone who appeared to be a reporter.
Wearing an elegant dress covered with a shawl, Suhyeon looked up at the sound of her name.
A smile spread across Suhyeon’s face as she met Bora’s eyes, who was still waving.
After briefly bowing to conclude her conversation, Suhyeon approached Bora.
Suhyeon spoke with a gentle smile, “Thank you for coming.”
“Of course I had to come. It’s your wedding, unni.”
Bora winked with one eye, showing how close they’d become.
Since Suhyeon was no longer her company superior and they had developed a personal friendship, they’d grown closer after Bora started calling her “unni.” (Big sister)
“Still, thank you.”
“You specially invited me, so I had to attend no matter what. But this place is amazing! I never thought I’d ride a private jet in my life!”
Bora’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Private jets are for Hollywood actors and super-rich people, right? And here I am riding one… Oh my god, I feel like I’ve become someone really important!”
Suhyeon laughed softly.
“Is it really that special?”
“Of course! How often does anyone get to experience something like this?”
Suhyeon’s expression relaxed as she watched Bora’s flushed face.
Besides Hyunwoo and Bora, everyone else was either reporters or company executives, so she had to maintain her role as Cheonkyung’s mistress and had no one to relax with.
Although she’d understood if they couldn’t attend since the wedding was overseas, she was genuinely happy when they agreed to come.
They were the only personal acquaintances she’d invited, after all.
“I thought Manager was like some kind of reporter, the way he’s taking pictures…”
“Ah.”
Hyunwoo, who had been photographing the bar in the reception area, paused and turned at Bora’s words.
“Haha. Getting to ride a private jet I’d only heard about, I just couldn’t help myself…”
Hyunwoo scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
“He claims it’s all for work purposes, but Manager is clearly just a photography enthusiast.”
Bora whispered secretly to Suhyeon. Suhyeon laughed lightly at this and said to Hyunwoo,
“Please feel comfortable. After all, the reporters are all taking pictures too…”
Just then, new people entered through the corridor. They appeared to be company executives. Tension crept into Suhyeon’s expression as she looked their way.
Catching this sharply, Bora pulled at Suhyeon’s arm.
“Oh, unni, come this way for a moment. Manager, I’m taking her to my room for a bit!”
“Alright.”
While Hyunwoo returned to focusing on his photography, Bora led Suhyeon to her room.
Though not spacious, it was a clean space similar to a hotel business room.
“What is it?”
As Suhyeon asked puzzledly, Bora sat her on the bed and said,
“Here, lie down.”
Suhyeon’s eyes widened in confusion.
“What? Lie down…? Bora?”
Bora made Suhyeon lie on her side with her head on the pillow. Though small in stature, Bora had surprisingly strong arms. Even when Suhyeon tried to get up, her delicate body couldn’t move.
Looking seriously at Suhyeon whom she’d made lie down, Bora said,
“Take a short rest.”
“Huh?”
Suhyeon just blinked, lying on her side.
Pulling a stool in front of the bed, Bora continued,
“Even if you’re the wedding’s main character, most people here are company executives and reporters—all difficult people to deal with. Heave-ho.”
Sitting on the stool she’d placed in front of the bed, Bora looked at Suhyeon again.
“Do you know what your expression looked like earlier?”
“What did it look like?”
Bora made an elegant hand gesture and demonstrated a goddess-like expression in front of her face.
“Like this.”
Relaxing her expression and adjusting to a more comfortable position, Bora said,
“I thought you’d be tired if you kept walking around with that mask-like smile. Let’s rest here for a moment before going back out.”
“Ah…”
Blinking her eyes, Suhyeon finally understood Bora’s intention.
She’s being considerate of me. Trying to let me rest, even if just for a moment.
Understanding Bora’s intention, Suhyeon smiled softly.
“Is that why you brought me here?”
“Sheesh, if it were me, I’d be stiff as a robot with reporters taking pictures from every direction, but you’re really amazing, unni.”
Bora crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head.
Suhyeon smiled while lying down.
“That’s because I’m seasoned from the first marriage.”
“Right. Five years, wasn’t it? Long enough to get used to it.”
Bora nodded up and down, changing from shaking her head side to side. Suhyeon watched her quietly before saying,
“…Thank you. Really.”
When Suhyeon spoke with sincerity, Bora touched her nose awkwardly.
“Oh, it’s not like I did anything amazing…”
