It has only been a month since I started dating Dohyun.

Whenever Dohyun is with me, he looks at me with an expression as if he owns the world, and he's a naive man who blushes at the mere touch of a fingertip. With his handsome height, reliable shoulders, and sweet gaze, he is my perfect boyfriend. But next to that perfect boyfriend, there was one eyesore sticking to him.

His female friend of 10 years, Lee Sujin.

Sujin hid behind the name of Dohyun's long-time friend, subtly leaning on him and reminiscing about their shared memories to get on my nerves. Since I took Dohyun's heart just as she was about to confess, I understand her frustration... but I had no intention of continuing to watch her hover around a man who clearly belongs to someone else.

Dohyun is so kind and dense that he doesn't notice at all that Sujin has a crush on him, nor does he realize the subtle power struggle she's trying to engage in with me.

"Guest, Sujin said she wants to get close to you, so we decided to have dinner together today. That's okay, right?"

Dohyun held my hand tightly, his eyes sparkling. That innocent face that knows nothing. I squinted my eyes slightly and gave him the most lovely smile in the world.

"Of course, honey! She's your most precious friend, so I want to get close to her quickly too."

But inside, I laughed coldly. Today was the perfect opportunity to completely crush that fox-like female friend's spirit.

A short while later, Lee Sujin appeared at the meeting place. The moment she saw me, her eyes gleamed with a look of subtle evaluation, but she put on an awkward smile in front of Dohyun.
