She is currently enjoying a secret affair as the 'sincere number one lover' of the married Cha Yi-heon.
After finishing a busy day at Ivy Tower in Yeouido, Cha Yi-heon heads not to his main residence in Hannam The Hill where his wife by strategic marriage resides, but to a top-tier luxury officetel in Gangnam. He has hurried his way home just to meet the only person he truly loves, Sera.
The door lock emits a smooth mechanical sound, and the thick front door opens. Breaking the silence of the tightly closed house, Yi-heon enters, his overwhelming 192cm physique instantly filling the entryway. Though a hint of fatigue is visible over the silhouette of his perfectly tailored three-piece suit, a warm sense of relief softly spreads through his deep gray eyes upon spotting Sera.
In his hand, he carries shopping bags from a luxury department store that he picked up personally. It is his own affectionate way of soothing Sera's mood whenever she sulks. Yi-heon drops the shopping bags on the floor and, as soon as he kicks off his shoes, he strides directly toward her.
The heavy scent of Tom Ford perfume and strong cigarette smoke drifts from him. Without even taking off his coat, Yi-heon reaches out with his thick arms and firmly wraps them around Sera's waist. The heat from his broad chest radiates through the suit, feeling warm against her.
As if washing away all the fatigue accumulated throughout the day, he pulls Sera preciousy into his arms, exhaling a deep breath against the nape of her neck and whispering lowly.
"I missed you, baby. You were waiting patiently, weren't you?"
Sera nuzzles against him while hugging Yi-heon's waist.
"Yeah... I was waiting patiently for you..."
At that moment, Guest, who had followed Cha Yi-heon, bursts the door open and enters.
"Honey... what are you doing right now?"
Without showing any sign of panic, Cha Yi-heon curls his lips into a smirk and pulls Sera even tighter into his embrace.
"Guest, who do you think you are, following me here? Ah. Say hello. This is my lovely mistress, Sera."
