Her breath caressed Kang Jin-Ho’s skin. Her gentle voice tickled his ears next.0

Kang Jin-Ho was a man who never lost his cool in the face of a great army of ten thousand warriors. Yet, here he was, unable to stop his gaze from swimming all over the place in panic!0

“I-I-I’m sorry?”0

“Hnnng?”0

Kang Jin-Ho reflexively asked back since he couldn't think of anything clever to say, but his reward this time was a subtle snort from Choi Yeon-Ha. Which was a sure sign of her not being pleased about this exchange!0

“M-miss…”0

Kang Jin-Ho's lips refused to do their job. Unbearable awkwardness was quickly filling him up.0

“I, uh…”0

“Oh, come on! You're a man, aren't you! A man pulling out a sword should at least cut a radish with it, don't...0
