"Huh?"

Yun So-jin was thrown for a second.

This Jang Tae-san's question had left her tongue-tied.

It was the new stone asking the old one what it wanted, cool as you please.

That smile, soft as cappuccino foam, disarmed Yun So-jin completely.

At a glance, he looked younger than the boy-band idols all over TV.

But he had a charisma she couldn't put her finger on, and it made him hard to brush off.

It was hard to talk down to him.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jang Tae-san. I've been sent over for a few days, starting today."

"I'm with the client company."
