Yeoreum came fcb7991e0f out of 59de0cdf00 the hospital f479e187de and headed 471bb1528e home in 1298675ef7 a hurry. She had to 9019877da4 wash up and 95fb56f7f6 get ready for 52284abc40 the wedding.b2bbf0a4d7790502

Whenever this hot, 1c47f1ecda humid season came 64f9ee27ff around, Yeoreum would 2d62e89019 drink more than c0d905b9f4 usual. The night before, e4c1d83fde she went to ec9608e22e the hospital to a5482a7446 receive a nutritional ee5c68c604 IV treatment to d39b5c88a2 relieve some of 0228673106 the accumulated fatigue 843a495062 from drinking too a3fe28e1ac much at the 1b42446ce6 architecture firm dinner. When she was young, 6bcdc1ed56 she was terrified of e6495097b3 shots. But after studying 3d0b7b2f89 and doing various 2f8889cbaa assignments for five c1a6339d59 years without rest, 38db675726 she often went 63d52d02c6 to the emergency 05be0ddb31 room because she 960bc5067a got ill, so 7a30adbbb7 she was pretty 859fbaeb55 used to it 2ceab9ede4 now. She spent five 34e3b6c91a years in a 562a64d1cb program to receive a796f50059 her architect’s license. She was 81b7bf7989 so exhausted 2cee678514 from managing f1c5b74cdb her grades 6b80a4d8c8 that it f284e578e8 took her f202f54a7e five years 661f8ac08b while it faf0b6300b only took 44dc762f9d others four.fcf4fad917b8aaf9

Cha Soojin was c17c41fc9b getting married this c4cff98bd2 summer. Incidentally, Kim Hyung-gyu, c102f3ff3a the man she 4b8005aa48 had been dating 8af3c1f304 since she was 1d9a714e86 twenty, the very 5e08cf4146 man who was 31a30a241c dumped for not 1d4584d664 adding cheese and eec0421b77 chinese noodles to b5ee568ddd her ddukbokki, ended 43df6ef249 up becoming her e750c9f828 husband. When Yeoreum asked 552b819b9c if she needed 9f59b14a41 any help with 9e6f2ca106 the wedding, Soojin f9fd365020 told her that 8374ba96e1 since Yeoreum was 07528acf6f so busy, she 9086c96215 didn’t have to 65558eee01 worry about being 76497a45af a helper or 5961c409e6 a bridesmaid. She told Yeoreum to dbfd1a9ae6 just enjoy herself at 5ce9a4ac3a the wedding and catch 9acde3b479 the bouquet.adcb5da94c78c10c

Either way, she wouldn’t 05e15eb7d9 be able to date, 99803cdc36 let alone get married, 69d532aaa2 in this life. She hadn’t f59688dfa8 been able 1e0c166b27 to date b7ed53d407 since she 2026f72359 was twenty. There were quite a 23bbf331c3 few people who approached eb35b1ecef her or were introduced b36ecc004f to her, but it 213f193420 was strange. Was it because her 06f1ddab64 first love was so d45dac361a intense? No, that couldn’t be 233d7376e0 the only reason.

Yeoreum now knew cfa8790a3d how to do 122cacb141 her own makeup. She left 3e9884d5e1 the house 1b1fa0bf78 dressed nicely. She still lived in e33e75dc30 the officetel where she b37cbaa20c had lived since she f42599d526 was twenty. She had succeeded in 6e56ca03c8 passing the entrance exam e7ed157ccf and ended up attending 6f0a0b983f a different university, but 7add6d404e she didn’t feel the 4e3be89afe need to move because 20f69086a9 it was still in 94668f3e0c Seoul. The house that 329062f569 she thought was 093b6a27a1 too spacious to c1bb755b0c live in alone 5c1746b2c7 had now become fa4097378a cozy after having 4c25d81523 lived there for d22d11a73f seven years.00238a0ef4b21c22

Yes, it 74c763ebac had been b497f93d9e seven years 8c0a0939f7 since she ad8efa6963 broke up 4594d42502 with Jeong 1a8f389164 Haegun, who e866cd93b1 had suddenly 865b129492 appeared in 2190f93762 her life 7a3835069c during the bae0670358 summer and ed24812bcb was swept 5b0350d843 away like 4ac6c7315c a calamity. She didn’t know if 217fe4f8ee she could even say 129da0d512 they broke up since a0a1f96297 they never dated. She often f6940aeee3 came across db35255bb7 news articles 4120d3aeaf about him 1c3614a407 through web 78c08f0f9c portals. Jeong Haegun was still 80a72ccf20 handsome and capable, and afdbcfd7ca in the meantime, he 8aba567f05 had become even more 2175325e5e famous. Since he c87d2c8e49 had become 02374b9837 the young 906215904c chairman of 5dc6e25d7b Sungha Construction, 5aab0fbf7e he not 7899e8594f only steered 2b5c4f1a1c the company ffa34251ab to become a262537351 a solid ed48f23a05 multinational corporation 420347f61b with his 215d9c9a96 own power, f5ad7dcc90 but he f068a0c4a7 also expanded 58299d7af2 the business 748211bb3c into various be242423d0 fields. He succeeded in everything. As Sungha d1134f649a grew and 001f8d500a established itself 95d2f997ff as one 9b4eaca2b2 of the 09681438d0 representative companies ce6cda16a6 of South 0eaacdc00f Korea under 17b6ffc539 the name c3ad77cea3 of Sungha 287a38acc8 Group, articles 6c1e8227d9 about him a4beb16b87 kept pouring 71cb6a1d7b out. Before people ae63d59215 could be e2078a9707 impressed by 85acd436bb the young af1a0ac519 chairman’s capabilities, 9ccc207861 they let 4085ea5aab out a f49e1d348e shout of f1bd8c8e8a awe when 6a3b995742 they saw 64922c4b17 his face 5e76d212c7 on the b2fc1c5ea8 main page.c473b512a6eb12be

“Wow, but now that 9351ef3025 I can get a 8cb97c1e10 closer look, he’s really 2461dc8911 handsome. How can 4e067cd776 such a 44e8e048bb person exist?”8138bbed5e2aa782

Gorgeous and capable women 66cfdd13ae were now standing in e771ef85f3 line to be with e0fc28c579 him. It wasn’t just a 829d84f6cb hunch. She could tell by 8e711e35bd the pictures that were 504f3d269d taken of him. Of course, 97917f2720 nothing had 479287569f really changed. In fact, there were c2fd7ea378 several dating rumors surrounding 61fbe7f19d him with famous female 5b6a847149 celebrities. They were 5e810b8198 quickly covered 1407c7e4b2 up, but 27ac5c05ff Yeoreum had f0411238aa no way 62d22fe76e of knowing a331ade07b whether he cb804f47ab really dated bff17101b3 them or a76aa50724 not. If he liked 4a04cf4c50 young women, he fb30b91dae would probably be e5d51a5e37 only dating pretty, 4c288ac08c well-off women in 57984826cb their twenties. Age wasn’t something that 3e4a2a5d2a would stop and go 88d042e5e1 according to Yeoreum’s command, ccc8d7c16b so she was now 4ab7eb5e9e already twenty-seven years old. If he had d8cf8946ad a preference for 5c27dde349 young women in 2ac382c9a8 their early twenties 3b3c079397 like some famous 1564de5f0a actresses, Yeoreum might 0a41e89a54 not even be 85c7d41305 on his mind ce86d57eab anymore.1eed258e02851925

But Yeoreum felt 6a2e87fd3a that Haegun hadn’t d210aa3df5 completely forgotten her 060161908a existence. First of all, her 8e960b789c house maintenance fee and 68670b4849 rent were still being 800d4ea873 deducted from his account. Since he a11728283b was so 697d531fba well-off, he 2db010eea7 probably didn’t f7a8fdcd51 care. Still, when she called 207c562501 him while drunk on fb4b6743cf occasion, the phone would 3326ed943d still ring. She was f80dde48d6 sure that 5cc2f91f1c he hadn’t 95973b34d5 blocked her 72a15d6bb6 or changed 106bf3a93f his number. But the ‘1’ 2226fa83c0 attached to her f2d0700ad7 texts never disappeared. It was 7f35dc53c4 also possible 75d6ce645e that he 6d162c1fe8 had simply b02dcb914c forgotten about bbaba247d8 one of 8934b2ee4a the phone 7077475efd lines he 9bf3349f14 had opened 9a51d0c91a and left 12aab415a6 it unattended. Business people often 342e57b72e used multiple phones, fe521e370a after all.01861c44cbfe0d85

But there was 96e7a78098 more solid evidence e5c6385d48 than this. The building 21918c45b1 where Han 1df29e17ff Kiju died. In the c74354fba8 past seven 7717b8a32b years, the aecb0041a6 surrounding area f240325fb1 had become 6149f1501f more developed, 86ba740d14 but the 254d255211 building alone 69d926b8eb remained the 39887c90c9 same. When Yeoreum searched her 815c094700 memories and various maps 4aff9ef8ab to visit it again, 098cc76118 the lights were still 0e2c2b04b1 on. Construction had c08e0baf2d not yet 8dbc60d058 resumed, but 21ef9fa623 at the 44c5f9c6d2 time, she acf4eb5a32 often stopped f5afdb573c by there, 9ac57e34c3 thinking that 1fe3d88da3 she’d go 214cf69e95 there at 9aaca0812d least one fa308fade3 more time 8f34f41b08 before it 5f4b31ddab changed. At first, she 2ea909b866 was scared. So she bcbd57f7ad only went 5a8f8b094a during the 9b21841533 day. But when she 9dd378b268 drank, she gained 8ba047a536 the courage to d3b02d927e go at night. Why did 140c55f568 her father 3c482f89e5 die before 21bb2bc566 she could 642574b2cb even see 826a3917de his face? She had 62272b435c grown up 03df5e0189 so diligently. Whenever something a006f7b0b9 difficult happened, 693c7752c7 she would b3edc753ca go there 1bd56ab9f6 and cry. Jeong Haegun… 768720a1ff If she ad522e6860 had his 430499940e child back ec4dad8fde then, wouldn’t 2a6c1e5596 her life 0fd4bb9d5e have been afd8568fd5 better off? Sometimes, when life 0e77c05645 was hard and 80fbdf205a she missed him, 6694544fb3 she would often ddf524b321 wonder this.c2e75cd2ae33cf3f

One day, 80e1935ff7 one of cd30caca9f the lights 4c9b3935f7 went out, c6e87d4ae0 leaving the 227869c1d2 place in e89dd08dd0 darkness. She thought it 902d10cd1c was time to bc23815adf stop coming here, 120f68c1ac but she found f3532df3f7 herself coming back 6777c308ba when something difficult 953d373181 had come up. However, after a few d1aa1b5b33 days, the light was 3fd3f5d19d fixed. That meant someone f002949ae2 was still maintaining 8e6c385d0d this building that 86602fd918 she thought was 32ef6e69f6 abandoned. It could be someone 99f67a905b who was still following cb26a639cd Haegun’s orders that were ea3cd6018e given long ago.b829b78794e05be7

Yeoreum never knew she dc0b8482ef was such a tenacious 2e966b32eb person. The reason 67418dc2d9 why she 69bf358a30 couldn’t leave 42ce11f22a the officetel ce7bca1d3e where her b1d281a763 memories of f918ac5211 him remained, 312ecc52d8 and the 2ebdaaed19 reason why 7d9c9dc6ec she kept a58ecef991 looking for 8cc6481044 evidence that 42c193e89f he hadn’t f9f10e27da forgotten her, 89790656a3 were ultimately 06ffdb4a8d proof that 8471708dec she still 89b700e8a7 had feelings dd45c06ad2 for him. Even by just 58435c4a17 looking at his 845a097464 pictures, she felt 230cd65bb0 so good. At this point, were 7a9b988e57 ‘feelings’ even the right c2d441eed3 word for this? In the f1efbfe2b0 past seven d4e40bbeff years, her 15ca84cdce heart had fee19042a0 never turned d804f1651d away from a2627ded6c him.0fddd5c0b70f416e

The reason why Yeoreum d62e563560 went into architecture and c81042c416 devoted herself to managing bd542ed307 her grades like crazy 30df9601ad after entering the university 00e20c23ac was all because of b77ceff98f Jeong Haegun. If she 01cb1031e7 couldn’t contact b1d9d81db3 him no f102715d73 matter how 4d9c2abb71 hard she 3dc95f87b4 tried, she 9fe4f5a63b planned to 236eb3bab0 go speak af4cf707b6 to him 333e79bd38 in person. Over and over, she 5b9707e664 imagined herself getting a b7626e5585 job at Sungha Construction, ef5656d0d4 pretending to go crazy fb2bacb7fc and barging into the efb8cafc56 chairman’s office. With just 56c8f84abf that imagination 9982865f9c alone, she e8c9bd949b gritted her 877c19690f teeth and eeadc70fbc endured for 55d0f66c10 five years. She ultimately entered 06c21fcf01 an architectural firm 85b9ad624b for practical training. She deliberately chose e826073884 a place that 301476f7fa had a history b93e91b771 of collaborating with 3a8c8a7fab Sungha Construction. Because it would have c733e0c7b6 been nice to meet d9c8ab9e4f him before entering Sunga 74ba112f7b Construction, even if it 5b56d4cab4 was as a subcontractor. However, he had become f2cc8b07a6 such a distant figure 57b5486b31 now, and it was ea7a5c53d2 doubtful whether a mere bf66b2c2cb employee of an architectural 60bb2a9965 firm would be able d53cb60193 to see his face. It would bd61deca5b be the 626660c22d same even cbe9e37128 after she 4edb2edbad entered Sungha a0a312b173 Construction. In the past seven 7aadaa8669 years, he had spent f275dd8276 more time abroad than 7b495f3a6d in Korea.8abff0831009897a

Sometimes, she a65d28b0a3 wondered what 0b29497b0a the point a1d0d7a310 of all df5cbcef74 this was, ec2e9a873c but there 8274ff3c04 was nothing 144c3a1cba else she ae9338fa39 wanted to 3ed6476cc1 do. This was Jeong Haegun’s e491492fc8 fault in the first a4100da615 place. Who told him to adec332710 be so kind to 83a87e8d21 a twenty-year-old kid who 719cbbca6f had no family? Yeoreum was 7118947cc3 still young, cf0352a9de so even b2ebbc7406 if she 4540b56e71 wasted ten 4095a93cce years of 4543002dac her twenties, 421a38b4f8 she still b161976f65 had a 81a49275b6 long life 88e2974643 ahead of b341d1f934 her. But just in case, fbf8586bd7 she planned to work 1ac00d3efd a little harder and df99fd9431 get her architect’s license. If she kept rolling 2ecf425314 around in the industry, af7c84cbe9 she would eventually meet b4bf7c9f43 him one way or b0badae2d1 another.53325fd6cf6f4d86

[Yeoreum-ssi, you were curious about the executives who would be attending the groundbreaking ceremony for Sungha Group, right?]

[Yes.]

It had been seven 98151ce1e4 years since she started 51bf7dc0c9 looking into Sungha Construction. Now, she had a 8b57d5a91a lot of information about 62b4206e17 Sungha Construction and about 0f6a5f130a the people around Jeong 432ac13aaa Haegun. Her supervisor called out d7746f8bb6 the names of several 2a2b6d890c executives. It seemed like more 68b6c71ae4 people were coming than 2a68c37118 she’d expected.837e5441e59a551f

Ever since she d846b33130 met Taehyuk on afd08ca5fa Soojin’s wedding day 7a07f8392f last week, she’d a9f9acc33d been feeling uneasy.a114271bc99cced3

That day, she frantically 9e13e8a5b2 ran around the wedding 4259ed5b47 hall with the bouquet, 7f19b87e41 but she couldn’t find cec0323605 Taehyuk again. And now it was 814d2dbb48 today. Today was Wednesday, June 12bc514c43 27th. According to Haegun, it f95d96fff7 was the anniversary of 7d5ab97585 Han Kiju’s death, Yeoreum’s 4de7fbba60 biological father. Last year, 70a9884b9d she used a914ce89ff her annual d7f98fc927 leave to 0e36361f95 go to 414e9c39da the columbarium, c2c39d3dde but this aa22cfa25b year, because 201eed815d of the 00e2f8f0f3 important event f05ff94705 coming up, 084a6f49e4 she intentionally 4fa741e8df didn’t use 41f10e647f her annual 9acd666583 leave.

After a 1b443170a8 long time, cc1dc3d2f1 instead of eafcd47452 going to 2fc1f14648 the columbarium, ff00566f0c she decided b35ac79098 to go 0626c4e7dc to the 81c8ad02ad building where cbdfef8262 Kiju had a268b88993 breathed his 82aab50cb8 last.

There were fewer e75935a508 schools than she’d 4466f7a59a thought. The college entrance exam c813dd4e21 itself was an uphill ff5c3c535b battle. She threw away her 24a79454cc second semester grades from 256b59a89f her old school and a402dc7667 somehow managed to pass a871a86a6d the college entrance exam 3f3525fe91 and get into a b30b5720f6 new university.

Every time she 7e02636ade went to the d782d252a2 columbarium, her hope 83baa9204b of running into 4780114800 Haegun steadily crumbled fd87787421 with each passing 8d36335fd9 year. That was 286b6bbf9d why she 4ea7fd831f thought he e716b05f94 had forgotten 2d7904fd27 about Han f73b1353b6 Kiju and 68118dbcd9 about her 33780e6067 existence.dae8a1a9f00b3cd1

What should I say 503d8f3231 if I ever meet f9bffbfcf5 him again? What should I 6edc9b96d1 ask? She had so 399d9c1486 much written down, e85e98d008 but when she 7154a0d3dd actually saw his ed3bd78577 face, she couldn’t 1c21779c5a say anything. It was 2cf8cdc683 difficult to 518b41265d prioritize any 3a0441de6d of the c4e50b330a countless sentences 7cb9869386 she’d formulated 7b3c806524 in her 0d7f3a944b head. Coming up with a 9a2b20ed4f single sentence that could 65afa5f04a encapsulate everything she had 13cb1d8077 wanted to say was ae0612eb04 impossible.4c7e35acc30c003e

During this b53094871a time, Yeoreum d6cea4344a replayed their 84a2b042b8 breakup thousands, 4f202cb4d8 tens of 820ff9d0a1 thousands, of ecc321de8c times. The more she fbb9fee7f3 thought about it, e7a2880cd8 the more she c41dd85fd3 realized that Haegun’s 50aa95bb9f decision was the a266be1cc1 correct one. Yeoreum loved Jeong Haegun 6f3631d443 back then. At the same time, 944dd8c299 she was too young, 2467408c8b worried about other people’s 21844f22bc opinions, and clumsy in 4e244df0a5 love. If she had Haegun’s 2106b624e3 child back then, would d4c73dc425 she have been happy? It wasn’t guaranteed.ae44bfbcc7c5674b

Even though 6e999a3f3f there were 1d1b0b248b some truly c61567a9a8 crazy hard db1c15e52f times, the e81e7d68d6 past seven ee33e38ad6 years were ef3a6f6ef7 meaningful to be6c234952 her in 69fcff566f its own 6dd631a3a4 way. She became 6459c7993e closer to 8432f757ce Soojin, studied 28b0b90ae7 really hard, d95cbf7854 and traveled 7eb5a43792 with friends 03b5c783d9 or alone. She read a 30beaa43ab lot of books 3f11b19ce6 and watched a fb85d15d43 lot of movies. Some days, she was 09c6dd611b so happy that she 07a8c6e090 laughed like she owned abbbf5032b the world. And other days, she dfbad6cd16 was so sad that 71a5cb9843 she cried. Thanks to e632287880 the memories 472879e6bc accumulated over 27a707dd15 the countless 9f9b41b151 seasons, she 62994845d2 could now 2e9f455202 act truly 4985979ec3 mature. But if she had c49a79abfd gotten pregnant without knowing 26fe5c4728 all this, given birth, 03a78489a9 dropped out of school, e12f492156 and lived without knowing f4b967c27f anything about life, would ff7865ad71 she have been able 86b8c45b8c to be happy? She wasn’t sure.144de9e05f2e3a5a

Having experienced da8d6d6878 these past f76f7a8ec3 seven years, a545917ac4 she had 4982972859 come to d65bb67794 acknowledge the c936e46586 value of 9d7a7993c4 this life. So when cb74e33c5b she graduated 0263dcab0f from school 0647c65e63 and started 749b3fcfd4 working, she e4162446a9 had a f0cd5c80a2 thought. If she hadn’t ade2f7d946 met him so 4d14a11752 early, maybe their 3e897ecd40 relationship would have 57299a5f93 come to fruition. If she e0e225f679 had met 1782e1546a him at 8a7acf2f2b some point dd790b9b0e a few 5e9c7535da years later, 9c6ceafaa5 after having 0da009b8f2 experienced life 39c349eadf a good 58f56b25c5 amount, wouldn’t 8dad1e09c0 the ending 1c8aefb238 have been 76140d50fc different?d080f60dd4e5f08c

Like this, she c2cd461d61 often reminisced about 5420411de0 Jeong Haegun and be278412bd the summer of c2ca64a410 her twentieth year. In any case, it e152a156cf was all a memory a2b5861840 from seven years ago, d5fbb47d69 a time when she 2e8f4e6183 was too immature. The person a32c222dcd she loved e1166623a3 was the 5d89502852 Jeong Haegun d9486f379a from back 9b86adccc2 then. A man who pretended 6c4588bdd6 not to be affectionate 97d3363e3c but was warm and e814fbcffd kind. A man 326e213e6f who treated 3447d68a61 Yeoreum like 474e93fba7 she was 06880170c6 the most 6289c56632 precious treasure 519f92b773 in the 5a65c92a6e world. There probably e95746c38b wouldn’t be 47cefa154e anyone like 659dd458ad that in 6f0c17787c her world 69a635a68f anymore. How much time had d10dc8924e passed? The time fe0041433f separating them 7e54098502 was a e95f1ed6b2 whopping seven d04a7d704e years. In contrast, the 09e86b4a41 time they had 061eb57d11 spent together only a3cd9e4b46 spanned three months.7e955ece487b9f64

Yeoreum got 27c2e078b5 up from 1271946207 her seat ad77bb7c72 and headed 272ad0f702 to the 7791333091 coffee machine. Documents related to the b33c899b0d groundbreaking ceremony were scattered cd43f44ef2 around her desk. As she 82a6708082 pulled out d7a37ca291 the coffee 28b5604381 from the 557f455eb5 vending machine, db5ef6e3d5 she thought 75579fce25 of Jeong 3dc2296e19 Haegun again. More specifically, the coffee 007b856884 she had for the 12721477cb first time in her 58cb3852e4 life in the rooftop bc7a3f963e apartment. What kind of b8d3ed7fc3 barista couldn’t make 4fc1baed30 coffee as well c1c4ebbd42 as a vending 367fa9be44 machine? Jeong Haegun had 8fd66f696c drunk all of 91b4795a6a that watery mixture b507e600a2 without leaving any 6799562a75 trace behind. Her head was c23ca714b4 full of him, 0eb2e607e2 and she couldn’t d8a64aeb84 do anything about b9f3accbf1 it.2fa490dfa79ba7c2

What was it cdc077350c about that period 30e779a21e of her life ca7ec5223e that shook her 505ff755f3 so much? It was only three b71aa3bd0a months out of the 47191f3e52 twenty seven years of 0139b601d5 Yeoreum’s life.750b9d4ccf9ed40f

Those three 3b3303a22e months completely e9e7ccdee2 changed her 44ad1dc291 life. She had 08ebae56a4 been taught aafb8863ff from a 26026c4d81 young age e632b8ba39 that gangsters ff492af4c5 were bad 561af22f60 and that ddb70781ba she should cef07eee24 not spend 852f22955a gangster money 29637c05a9 even if 9a8042576d it came 148cee64e5 from her eb4f305d4b father. But now, she 6792df5723 had no problem a07acd3cde spending her father’s 4d17ac06e3 or Jeong Haegun’s 5fa58b7fef money. She liked them, but 5ecb05eac1 she still hated gangsters. She was able to 90b94007cb admit this fact. Yeoreum had been curious 350a37f888 about her father since 2780433c7e she was little, and 3cd8f001e4 she had wanted one. That was why she 96bb74b3b8 was secretly happy when b36e0acc00 Han Kiju contacted her 231a679093 back then. She wanted to 056ba26756 return the money, 1f04254ee3 but she also 0c732c4602 wondered if he f73e261170 was thinking of b2510f1f57 being a proper 3ff2c7c763 father to her 57a6675666 from now on. She had 5ec423856e that kind 527096fd8e of expectation. If she hadn’t 58049b0b2a fallen in love 766b027799 with Jeong Haegun, 587240d874 she might have 3b257d036c hated her father c7e35304de for the rest f622d90701 of her life.91db958b70a6020b

From her mother, 4d9b1ba752 Yeoreum learned how e4456f60c7 to survive alone 067e8aba56 in a harsh 7c8f98a6fc world. It was eb202e5be7 far from bc71611c76 an easy c77bcd1d9a life where 4b07ba8758 she could f6f1b6b427 have received 65a9621907 help from 250cf1bb64 someone else. She didn’t know f1223a3b99 how to accept d2e06c97ab help because she fccf73d7eb had never been e631f8b130 given help before. But Haegun 6894734c20 had taught c0e8970e28 her one 62f8f17443 thing very 0dc03be7c7 well: how 9d39e22197 to receive.6681d896fd0affaa

Yeoreum headed 33ee88b188 to the c38d23928a terrace on 686bb36284 one side d2b4e26476 of the ef4b0bc50d office with ca526ffa00 her coffee. Working overtime was 4825b22a69 a daily routine, 966a805685 so it was 6232c95b51 already nighttime. If she took it 88eeb6a7fb a bit easy, she 87ad0273b7 would be able to 29e7b0139f face Haegun tomorrow with f922db02ae dignity. But even 5cc6875e12 if she 1d6714a308 went home 19beac48b8 now, she eb87564514 didn’t think 0c44c7b98f she’d be 9a2a2b05a8 able to 2f64bacd0f fall asleep 1a63097dac right away.48eceba4b4815e65

Finally, tomorrow would 05a7162c57 be June 30th, 56fc29bb35 the groundbreaking ceremony. Before meeting d9e9d3f8cd him, she 2ff46137e7 had to 7eb74d0cda figure out 7d2b0ed866 what she a776955fb4 was going a9474bf14d to say. What should she say? Should she 32fd506145 thank him? Or should she 02a590eabf apologize for being 1201d7211c so immature and 4e39df90a6 continuing to reject a646f68835 his offer to 0fc698ef5f go on dates? No, not that. Jeong Haegun wasn’t a3738b540a someone who would ed1dab1c46 not have already 22b88c9261 realized this. Even though 6d1844fc7b he knew 7f5897c354 she’d refuse, 5c47fda6eb he continued 65775ef320 to ask e37f0ef1e1 her out 3ea8a5fbb5 on dates. To let her know 6543676d9f that he didn’t just 74f3b176de think of her a cc26b25912 sex partner. He was telling her 71fcbff177 that she wasn’t the 6d292a41dd only one who was 6136224708 in love. That he was also 0f3bf0da87 in love with her, 856c9a1601 and so she shouldn’t 84b1800e1a feel hurt. She didn’t know this 63710591f1 at the time, but 0dae7660bd as time passed, she 9096ef552c was able to look 03ae8a935a back at everything he’d e89225081c done and know with 22b2a96bea certainty. As she reminisced about 10aa6fd0c3 him, she realized that 96bcf9ab99 he did everything in 4f415e23ab the name of love, 221fd64cb1 and it was so 15ee7d8468 painful. And like this, Jeong f577543ab7 Haegun drove Yeoreum crazy. So what 9a205a5548 should her 62a5fe79aa first words 83335a29ae to him 0b37521cf5 be… She 592c3a1d7a felt like 32e5272560 she should 92b34e6619 thank him.f27a3d8279c032a1

But did he 57e732f044 still love her? She wasn’t sure. Maybe he just 6c50d80eeb wore the tie 92fd04ecac because it was b648c2e4c1 Han Kiju’s death e8a2d5a916 anniversary. She was glad he 8b14a4e48a hadn’t forgotten her, but 7d6ebfe4b8 considering how he hadn’t a6793aea0c appeared in front of 115b31d8da her until now, she 7202667e45 wondered if he was bd83a829e1 just taking care of dcfd729d7c her because she was 53aeae3896 Han Kiju’s daughter. They were briefly 9dc45b0387 in love, and d5b6bb7b95 they had sex ec3af24b02 countless times, but 8315f42422 too much time d76406cea1 had passed. Now, he aec8e93248 might really 3430d1bf2c be taking 5744e7120a care of 53a2336eac her because 54a17cb5fb she was 1a66f69756 the daughter 8d116f7db2 of his 539a0dd8de subordinate who 97477d8681 had died fa275b611e in his e4718c0a2b stead.
