Marital WoesAfter Saeri left, Jungah heaved a sigh of relief and slouched her shoulders, her hand over her heart.
Jinyoung grabbed onto her and helped her to the sofa.
"Are you okay?" He asked and knelt down beside Jungah.
"I'm fine."
He placed his hand on her knee and she put hers on his.
"I never knew. All these while, she was acting like this because she was feeling inferior."
"Are you feeling sorry for her? She-"
"There's no point being upset over her anymore, I understand now."
Jinyoung smiled and sat down beside her.
"Don't worry, she'll be away from us."
Jungah nodded and looked at him before narrowing her eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"A pretty girl threw herself at you and even kissed you twice. You must be elated." She teased, pinching his ear playfully.
"Hey, I wasn't!"
"Don't deny it. My mom used to say all men are the same."
He removed her hand from his ear and gently held it in his hands.
"You saw it yourself! She was the one who kissed me." Jinyoung pouted. "I got a shock too, but I pushed her away immediately..."
Jungah withdrew her hand from his and turned away. She nudged him at his side as he placed his arm around her.

He grinned and caressed the back of her hand with his thumb.
She sighed and he looked worriedly at her.
"What's the matter again?"
"I would why she act the way she did."
"Are you jealous?" Jinyoung asked, a playful smirk painting on his facial features.
"Me? Jealous? Why would I be?" She answered, baffled at his assumption.
"Don't hide it. I can see jealousy written all over your face."
Jinyoung poked Jungah's cheek and she pushed him away.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
Jungah shrugged.
"I wanted to bring you your coat back. And I made some spaghetti."
Jinyoung widened his eyes and gasped playfully.
"Spaghetti? You got me spaghetti?"
She nodded, getting up.
Jungha walked over to his desk and reached for the container. She turned around and saw Jinyoung standing behind her. She pushed the container towards him and he pecked her cheek.
"Thanks baby."
"Come on, eat up."
Jinyoung nodded and sat down at the sofa, opening the container up.
"It tastes great! Just like last time."
She chuckled and sat down next to him.
"Really? I'm glad yo
