I spent some time playing around with Dan-tto.

While I had plenty of complicated tasks to juggle—like inspections, drafting plans, and breaking ground on new projects—most of them were already set in motion. My role was largely to provide direction, leaving the execution to my secretaries. This left me with more free time than usual.

After a few days of idling, however, I found myself caught up in a serious dilemma.

Go Minji had been a huge help lately, and I couldn’t stop obsessing over how to properly repay her.

Sure, she said she’d be happy if I just dropped by and hung out, but it’s not that simple, is it? Showing up empty-handed just didn’t sit right with me.

It’s common courtesy to visit someone with gifts in both hands—especially when you owe them so much. I couldn’t imagine showing up without bringing anything.

“Not like I can just give her ‘Eternal Enchantment.’”

That flaming rose I gave Min-young—if I’d been ignorant of its meaning, maybe I could’ve pulled it off. But knowing what it symbolized? Giving the same gift to my cousin felt… wrong.@@novelbin@@

Even if I was keeping certain options open.

Besides, Min-young and Minji were mother and daughter. If they ever compared notes and realized I’d given them the same gift, it could lead to some awkward conversations.

“I’ve got nothing.”

I even considered weapons.
