Seo Seong fell sick.
It was unexpected.
Sincho noticed immediately.
"You should rest," he said.
"I'm fine," she replied weakly.
But later that night, he placed medicine beside her bed and stayed nearby.
She woke up briefly, seeing him there.
"Why are you here?" she whispered.
"Contract responsibility," he answered.
She smiled faintly.
But both knew—
It didn't feel like just responsibility.
