Picking up with Manager Kang caring for Jiyoon at her home, this chapter focuses on a significant escalation in their romantic tension. Having taken the day off to look after her, Manager Kang’s appearance in casual wear becomes a major focal point for readers, who overwhelmingly find him handsome and praise his versatile style. This shift from his usual work attire appears to accelerate their intimacy, with his behavior becoming more playful and teasing.
