Hello! It has been so long since I began a new novel! I read this particular one a long time ago, and I loved it.
RE: Advanced chapters (to be purchased by coins)
I will try to release at least one chapter every two weeks for now. (I know that’s not a lot, and I will do more once I have more free time.)
But here is something you can do if you want to motivate me to go faster!
I have been dabbling in trying to write a novel, and I have started on the platform called Wattpad. It’s more of a YA Paranormal Romance with a huge RPG component to it. The romance part will come a little later, and it will be a slow-burn type.
Title: A True Rhombic Comes in Time
https://www.wattpad.com/story/320203251-a-true-rhombic-comes-in-time
So for every extra 1000 views on this book (it’s free to read) , I will release one extra chapter of “Miss Kang’s Honey Milk”. (for example, if there are 100 views on “A True Rhombic…” now, I will release an extra when there are 1000. Then, an extra one when it hits 2000, and so on.) Please spread the word to anyone you think will enjoy the story.
Comments and likes would be much appreciated, of course.
Thank you so much!

Jihwan realized how late it was getting when he heard the raindrops against the window.
When he looked at the clock, he realized that it was already almost 10 P.M. Sudden hunger made his stomach growl. He had always lectured his employees that if they were working late often, it just meant that they weren’t good at their job. Yet here he was, working late again. Maybe he was the worst one at his job in his company.
Jihwan closed the folder and smirked.
He was the CEO of the interior design company DH, which was originally part of a much bigger corporation Korean Constructions. After its premium brand “Best Home” became a huge hit, he was able to go independent. As the chief who managed this amazing brand, it made sense that he became the new CEO of this company.
The last few years have been amazing for the interior design industry. But DH’s growth was especially notable, and next year, he was considering going public. His company could soon be listed on the stock market, perhaps as soon as next year.
But Jiwhan was still not satisfied with what he had achieved. Within two years of launching the “Best Home” brand, he became the CEO of this amazing company. Yet the media still talked more about him being the grandson of the chairman of Korean Constructions. He didn’t care about what the media thought about him, but he still couldn’t help wanting to prove them wrong.
The “Best Home” line has been popular, but it has only been showcased in public showrooms so far. But next month, they were going to have their own private showroom, which was going to be huge. They were planning various promotional events, and the preparation for all of these things was taking so much of his time.
Jihwan hated working late, but he had no choice until the big launch.
He wondered about what he had at home to eat while putting on his suit jacket. He thought there might be some leftover chicken from last night.
He was walking toward the elevator quietly when he heard someone’s voice nearby.
“…I like you. Will you go out with me?”
Jihwan flinched and paused. He never demanded his employees to work late even if they were incredibly busy, so he didn’t expect to find anyone at this hour.
He hid behind a wall and peeked to find that there were two employees from the design department. One was a male, a senior designer, and the other was a woman, a new recruit designer hired last year.
“I said I like you, Eunseo.” The man’s voice sounded tense. “And I would really love it if you would go on a date with me.”
There was only one path to the elevator, and these two people were right on it. Jihwan couldn’t help feeling annoyed. At this rate, he was going to have to stay here all night.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in you.” The woman’s voice was ice cold.
“I thought you liked me too, Eunseo… Was I mistaken?” The man’s voice trembled. Jihwan suspected this man was genuine about his feelings for this girl.
“Yes, I’m afraid you are.” The woman was so firm that even Jihwan felt embarrassed for the man.
Jihwan was confused. Most women tried to let men down gently, especially if they were coworkers. After all, they would have to work together, won’t they? She could’ve just said that she was too busy or she wasn’t interested in a relationship right now.
And that man was her direct superior too, so was this really necessary for her to be this cold?
“Alright. I’m sorry to bother you.” The man replied through gritted teeth. Jihwan could hear him walking away.
Phew, Jihwan was relieved, thinking that he could finally go home.
Just then, he heard her cry. To his shock, he saw that the woman burst into tears.
