Illustration of a sweet back hug between a smiling woman and a man. The woman, with long brown hair and a gentle expression, rests her cheek against the man’s back, eyes closed in contentment. The man, wearing a purple blazer and shirt, looks slightly over his shoulder with a soft smile. The background fades to a warm, romantic gradient, highlighting the tenderness of the moment.

So much of these moments are overflowing with adorable tension and miscommunication that somehow makes everything cuter?? 😭💜

Won is camped out in the lounge just to watch Sa Rang work, living his clingy CEO boyfriend fantasy, but all the staff are stressed, so she shoos him out. Naturally, he sulks, convinced she doesn’t like him as much. (Oh, sweet delusional baby.)

Cartoon-style illustration of a nervous young man with dark hair wearing a purple blazer and shirt. His eyes are wide with worry, a sweat drop is on his cheek, and he’s holding his clenched fists near his chest. Purple stress lines radiate from his head, emphasizing his anxious expression against a dark gradient background.

Later, Sa Rang tries to apologize with a back hug, and he jumps like she zapped him with lightning, which makes her sulk. These two are a drama of feelings with legs.

But it gets even better. Won visits Grandma and catches her just in time to save her from falling. He and Sa Rang then take care of Grandma’s restaurant together, and when the lights go out… our boy passes out from fear. WHY is that so cute?!

When he wakes up, he drops the bravest, most genuine confession:

“I like you.”

Cute cartoon illustration of a swooning fangirl with starry eyes and a huge smile, wearing a purple sweater and clutching her hands to her chest. Behind her, a screen shows a silhouetted couple about to kiss, surrounded by sparkles and pastel hearts. The words “OTP MOMENT” glow above her, capturing the pure joy of witnessing a perfect romantic scene unfold. 💜💫💋

No frills. No vagueness. Just pure heart. 💘
And when she responds in kind, they share the sweetest, most tender kiss, soft, sincere, and full of mutual affection.

But we’re not done. That night, they stay over at the restaurant. Grumpy Cat CEO can’t handle the physical distance, so he drags her blanket closer just to hold her hand. And of course…

Grandma catches them the next morning, furious that they ONLY held hands. 😤
Poor Won is lost in Grandma Logic™, and even more stunned when she sets up a house savings account for him and deposits money into it. Her way of approving, even if she pretends otherwise. TOO CUTE.
