While in the bathroom, Su-Jin bumped into several objects and almost slipped inside the shower. Then, while cooking breakfast, she either dropped the spatula and chopsticks or poured too many condiments, ultimately ruining the food. To their luck, Mi-Suk came quickly and saved the day by whipping out an omelet with rice. 

Not long after that, while taking the laundry out to dry, Su-Jin even managed to step on little Gyojeon's fluffy tail. The loud yowl reverberated inside the house, making Su-Jin cringe with guilt. 

"I'm sorry little one." Su-Jin hurried to appease the kitten by petting it and giving it small kisses. 

This situation continued until later, when it was time for Su-Jin and Mi-Suk to leave for their date. 

While waiting for Mi-Suk to come down, Su-Jin decided to feed Gyojeon. But she was so out of it, that instead of the cat food on the counter, she ended up picking up a different package.

At that time, Min-Jun came down to grab a glass of water and happened to see Su-Jin crouched down in front of the counter. Gyojeon was meowing and rubbing its soft body against her knees.

"What's wrong little one? There is food in your bowl. Why don't you eat it?" Su-Jin urged the kitten by pushing the food bowl in front of its tiny nose. 

The small animal decided to trust its master, so it approached slowly, sniffing at the food. However, not even a second later, Gyojeon's nostrils twitched and he let out a soft hiss.

At the same time, Min-Jun's footsteps that came from behind suddenly halted. 

Su-Jin whirled around and stood face to face with her brother. The way she was blinking up at him looked particularly innocent, even a little bit confused. 

"Min-Jun, little Gyojeon doesn't want to eat. Do you think there is something wrong with him? Is he sick?" she whined, pursing her lips.

Without being moved by Su-Jin's pout, Min-Jun leaned to the side and looked at the food bowl. There was a complicated expression settling on his face as he straightened his back and turned to stare Su-Jin in the eye. It was something between helplessness and irritation. 

"Sis, if I were a cat, I would also refuse to eat that." he said, pointing towards the bowl. 

Baffled by her brother's words, Su-Jin followed the direction he was pointing at. Soon, her eyes landed on the food she had tried to feed Gyojeon with. Inside the bowl there were lots of dietetic crackers stacked into a small mound. 

The shape and color of the crackers were very similar to those of Gyojeon's food. Therefore, it's no wonder Su-Jin mistook them for cat food.

Min-Jun couldn't bear to see his sister acting like a person who had lost her mind, so he stepped forward and threw away the unappealing food. He moved quickly and in less than ten seconds Gyojeon had healthy cat food into his bowl. 

After finishing settling the matter, Min-Jun went to pour himself a glass of water. When he walked past Su-Jin, he didn't forget to flick her forehead with his free hand.

"Why did you think Gyojeon would want to eat Mi-Suk's dietetic crackers? Do you think he is too fat and needs to lose weight?" 

Just then, Mi-Suk's chirpy voice resounded from the hallway. 

"Hey, who are you calling fat?" She eyed Min-Jun in provocation.

Min-Jun fell silent, staring at her for a long moment. He took in her appearance, his eyes straying unhurriedly from her lovely face all the way to the clothes she was wearing.

When it came to makeup, Mi-Suk clearly went for a more natural approach, because she was wearing very light makeup. She only used eyeliner and very soft colors on her eyelids. There was a tint of blush on her cheeks and she colored her lips with pale pink. This made her pretty face look even more charming.

The cian sleeveless dress she was wearing put her willowy body to an advantage by highlighting her slender neck, as well as the narrow waist.

Truly, any man with eyes would agree that the current Mi-Suk was very attractive. Even she herself knew very well how people usually stared at her. It never bothered her, but neither did it boost her self-confidence. 

However, whether Min-Jun was of the same opinion as the rest, no one could tell for sure. His face betrayed no emotion or thought.

Eventually, after having enough of staring, he slowly moved his eyes away.

"Have fun on your date." Min-Jun waved, turning his back to them. 

Right before he disappeared from sight, though, he stopped and glanced above his shoulder.

"And be careful not to be tricked with horror movies. Men can be pretty slick."

With that, he went back to his room without giving Mi-Suk or his sister a second glance.

The two gaped at each other, blinking rapidly. 

"What do you think it's up with him?" Su-Jin asked, scratching the back of her head. 

"Not sure, but he's been in a bad mood since last night." Mi-Suk sighed, casting a glance towards the staircase.

Meanwhile, another man was in a foul mood as well. 

Kang Ji-Won had just finished putting all the documents together and was just about to exit his office, when, all of a sudden, his conversation with Su-Jin flashed inside his mind. 

"Tsk." he clicked his tongue. He gritted his teeth, biting down the rest of his words. 

"Told you she should have come to the company." Seo-Jun smirked, giving Ji-Won a knowing look. 

He leaned against the wall outside Ji-Won's office, folding one arm across his chest, while using the other to support his chin. 

"Better yet, you should have accepted her proposition of joining us today. You didn't even need to worry about me. I could have made myself scarce." Seo-Jun drawled.

"If you don't shut up, I will give you what you deserve." Ji-Won threatened coldy 

"Oh, are you talking about a raise?" Seo-Jun's eyes glimmered.

"I'm talking about a beating. So keep up this game and, best case scenario, you will find yourself with a pair of black eyes."

"How nostalgic." Seo-Jun sighed, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye. "It's been many years since you last threatened me like this. First time I talked to you I remember you threatened to break my jaw if I didn't stop teasing you. How come it's my eyes this time?"

"Consider it an upgrade." Ji-Won spat curtly, pushing past Seo-Jun.

Unfortunately, his friend's snickers didn't cease.. Instead, they followed him into the elevator and all the way to the parking lot.
