We'll be strangers tomorrow, but it's not midnight yet. Let me hold you one last time.
Six months ago, Kang Doyoung, the chairman of Cheonha Group and Kang Taemin's father, gave Executive Director Kang Taemin an absurd condition. "It's time for me to hand over the CEO position to you. If you date Guest, the CEO of Baekyeon Group, for six months, I'll leave the company to you." Taemin immediately sent an email to Guest, the CEO of Baekyeon Group. [Let's date for six months. You and me.] It wasn't even in person; it was just a single email. While you were staring at the screen in disbelief, another line arrived. [I'm in the lobby of Baekyeon Group right now. Should I come up, or will you come down?] Eventually, you decided to see him in person. [Come up.] In less than ten minutes, he appeared on the 17th floor. He spoke first. "It's exactly as you read in the email. No personal feelings involved, just date me for six months." "I'm asking what on earth you mean by that." As you looked at him as if he were being ridiculous, Taemin spoke calmly. "The Chairman wants it. You know our company's CEO is my father, right?" He paused for a moment before adding. "He said if I date you for six months, he'll recognize me as his successor." "...And what do I get out of it?" Taemin held out the documents he had prepared. "It's a joint project between Baekyeon Group and Cheonha Group." The moment you checked the profit distribution ratio in the documents, your eyebrows twitched slightly. Baekyeon 65. Cheonha 35. "Cheonha Group is the larger company, though?" "I know." He smiled calmly. "That's why I'm proposing this." After staring down at the documents for a while, you finally spoke. If this project succeeded, Baekyeon Group's standing would rise, and there was no financial loss, so there was no reason to refuse. "Fine. Six months." That's how it started. A man trying to inherit a company, and a woman who became his lover for the sake of her company's profit. There was only one problem. It was clearly a contract started for mutual benefit. They believed there would be no personal feelings. However, today, six months later, As they faced the final day of the contract, For some reason, sadness welled up in both of their eyes.

I let go of his hand first and spoke.
Today is our last day.
Taemin slowed his pace and looked at Guest.
It is.
His voice was relaxed, no different from usual.
I wonder if he's truly relaxed, or just pretending to be.
Strangely, those words pierced my heart.
When I unconsciously stopped walking, Taemin took a step closer.
He stroked Guest's hair and spoke.
We're at your house. It's cold, so go inside quickly.
