    Yeoreum came 3df2ab73f5 out of 357455f0f7 the hospital 60bb0dc40f and headed eb3f627a07 home in b9d96c1307 a hurry. She had to 4bb4c5386d wash up and 2a33df05cd get ready for dbe8e34302 the wedding.8e31b2f7680aaf0d

    Whenever this fdac52da8b hot, humid 1a3ff30be2 season came 959fdf4cbb around, Yeoreum 8e13a00c79 would drink fcb839215f more than 7003e52b35 usual. The night before, she 5de60ed99e went to the hospital af7ad81bc6 to receive a nutritional 72009a7aaa IV treatment to relieve 2d2f791b84 some of the accumulated 2ddf492898 fatigue from drinking too bf7a6ad537 much at the architecture de431d4bcd firm dinner. When she 89ee020be5 was young, ac7b1477fd she was 0b461eccd9 terrified of 593a98472c shots. But after studying and 4a6abc432b doing various assignments for f36808323d five years without rest, 39508206bf she often went to 6f86ba2375 the emergency room because b079964273 she got ill, so 999b906225 she was pretty used e847195372 to it now. She spent five years 785ec17aa5 in a program to 50532add47 receive her architect’s license. She was so exhausted fbaa575ad3 from managing her grades 199abed2b4 that it took her eda50d1afe five years while it 90c5152cdb only took others four.c4b2c11131cbeb85

    Cha Soojin 2c7097ce92 was getting 7e9d972c84 married this c89c136478 summer. Incidentally, Kim Hyung-gyu, 8c4ae102b9 the man she 94b6c2a1ad had been dating cfaf94503a since she was 1401a4b7d6 twenty, the very d66a04f187 man who was cb1256de5a dumped for not ae44e3f383 adding cheese and 7e5655295b chinese noodles to 2a836ea1af her ddukbokki, ended 29dc87bea5 up becoming her 2d6d326791 husband. When Yeoreum asked if 65755493a2 she needed any help ea5a08adb8 with the wedding, Soojin 8e816dffe4 told her that since 6a1c06b35f Yeoreum was so busy, 75d7921bbf she didn’t have to 24a0e1cc5e worry about being a 952a47f760 helper or a bridesmaid. She told Yeoreum f8cea35013 to just enjoy 2a2dfdf617 herself at the 60a8ed582f wedding and catch 8623a3f42f the bouquet.6ce9ea9e56e20025

    Either way, she wouldn’t f8bbba1348 be able to date, 8333aaf549 let alone get married, 9f4f512cc0 in this life.

    Yeoreum now knew how b10eb1b1a4 to do her own ae9855fb4c makeup. She left the house f1434a1363 dressed nicely. She still lived in 2ea9783c75 the officetel where she 504bce3aea had lived since she d81da4a73d was twenty. She had succeeded in 88e558e048 passing the entrance exam 49ad1584b2 and ended up attending 9ce576a56c a different university, but 3012c294ab she didn’t feel the 7d1b83b43b need to move because c965590a35 it was still in c7b4017493 Seoul. The house that bcbdd2d5e8 she thought was ac86172363 too spacious to bda532c976 live in alone c73bdf7fd1 had now become 696c4f940b cozy after having 918e3df9e9 lived there for a12e5ef8b0 seven years.d16b5a265abc3bf2

    Yes, it had been 52b9a947e3 seven years since she 686326bfdc broke up with Jeong a5ebba7b46 Haegun, who had suddenly 337eddf1ab appeared in her life 2e6403ef77 during the summer and 2f497033c1 was swept away like 7d0858da0a a calamity. She didn’t know if 8b460a8779 she could even say def023b30c they broke up since 95e07e0052 they never dated. She often came across dabf893e3d news articles about him 58cbe50303 through web portals. Jeong Haegun was still 4f8197473e handsome and capable, and 9760489f1d in the meantime, he 048a7f08c8 had become even more 1e711645f4 famous. Since he c892c2f2f3 had become 8320629b73 the young 30ffc55ed1 chairman of e751ae8cd7 Sungha Construction, 350e09ab49 he not 28aad9cf0e only steered 1b0f8b49b2 the company 4905d19f11 to become 94ed7275c7 a solid 3e4f699c7e multinational corporation f565eea9e3 with his e288a100fd own power, 97875b74c2 but he f5af3f96a2 also expanded adcdc6dd7c the business a87b5a2af7 into various 513178c2b4 fields. He succeeded in everything. As Sungha 95bebf1b52 grew and 62bb299114 established itself 6ca27b574b as one 6b1073df9a of the 8ed1f169f3 representative companies b0e82cf2a3 of South c9509cdbf1 Korea under f61777439d the name 714a38f01e of Sungha f7d5f58754 Group, articles fc73593a32 about him 90152f1dd4 kept pouring 1fc2aa4add out. Before people could be 93f4607d60 impressed by the young 3004bd06ca chairman’s capabilities, they let b3dd6b5d34 out a shout of 72547319a0 awe when they saw 8b17c38b10 his face on the 6a81528a60 main page.22428ad918cfc9d1

    Gorgeous and capable 0102ab7092 women were now db6b899134 standing in line fd04cf56e8 to be with 2a1f8487e8 him. It wasn’t just a e51e88dd77 hunch. She could tell by c561c10df8 the pictures that were 329d1d0654 taken of him. Of course, 30509bc552 nothing had dea4fc1b0b really changed. In fact, there were e0bfc84f98 several dating rumors surrounding 2afb16d675 him with famous female 9f8d88221a celebrities. They were quickly covered 33409d9099 up, but Yeoreum had f695f8b74f no way of knowing 5c814bab84 whether he really dated 746e0c472d them or not. If he e276805caf liked young 744b722f4d women, he 0cbf0f3b2d would probably d9ac4b1760 be only da4694f34b dating pretty, 3977ed22c2 well-off women 9a77fb82d0 in their e2f3202b7c twenties. Age wasn’t 41c8a8a58c something that 725d16a27d would stop 95ae125b1e and go ec485933e4 according to 514c8190a6 Yeoreum’s command, 9e09b1afe4 so she eb0fa02459 was now a42a876b51 already twenty-seven e55d5e5dd1 years old. If he had a f1db9622d7 preference for young women 23f5e8bdc9 in their early twenties cb8e6d67b6 like some famous actresses, b65bd41bd7 Yeoreum might not even 0f879733de be on his mind d48219b2ad anymore.c9761d40890cc798

    But Yeoreum felt that 2184a8ef77 Haegun hadn’t completely forgotten f030f67180 her existence. First of 56e93d68a4 all, her 9cc1e7f4d3 house maintenance 15f15b3c44 fee and 8b5de12e9c rent were 3bfd2632f8 still being f328c81541 deducted from b2e6c02b3c his account. Since he was so c19ef1d215 well-off, he probably didn’t 779e82cbcf care. Still, when she 6288077c0f called him while 6253b069ce drunk on occasion, a15b216838 the phone would 21df32ff33 still ring. She was sure that f43945d1aa he hadn’t blocked her 517c0cac47 or changed his number. But the 3d4bad05d8 ‘1’ attached c3527c0e5e to her 15405a8b12 texts never 21dfe88115 disappeared. It was also possible 70e475ed7d that he had simply 63e21e330f forgotten about one of 6ecc55e625 the phone lines he 1c93f523d4 had opened and left 7730ea8077 it unattended. Business people 58b6d5d9fc often used 523e69dbba multiple phones, 23c4d8c3f9 after all.9736a828f6b2bc5e

    But there was more 960a88f4db solid evidence than this. The building 2a66bed884 where Han bbb686eb9f Kiju died. In the past 2924dd4eb1 seven years, the d8b13c5c54 surrounding area had e006848af6 become more developed, 83b5e23d68 but the building 89c9849dc8 alone remained the e11582517a same. When Yeoreum searched her 5db0a59671 memories and various maps 4f19902ad9 to visit it again, 795feaa819 the lights were still bbe9eb88e9 on. Construction had f6c78dde3d not yet b4123e3a10 resumed, but 568442fa63 at the 86556d9f61 time, she 7b1f698a40 often stopped a305d85821 by there, 86e2f401d2 thinking that 4895dea2a6 she’d go cecd3a1399 there at 34e0d8acab least one 3b88ad66d4 more time 9e050dc276 before it cc5b2ea4ca changed. At first, e11a01af01 she was ead1426ef6 scared. So she 0178e9f54d only went cfb023ff21 during the b5346c8187 day. But when 986cff9e28 she drank, 850f23297d she gained b58adccbdd the courage e554e11ddd to go 4504c07fa7 at night. Why did her db50971a12 father die before fb60febd61 she could even 96b95a9031 see his face? She had grown c37d46b999 up so diligently. Whenever something difficult happened, 4e0b93a34e she would go there 202fca7711 and cry. Jeong Haegun… If she 21d6c4a894 had his child back acdff104ec then, wouldn’t her life 275628821b have been better off? Sometimes, when life was 6cb4e03213 hard and she missed b9e6854cbc him, she would often c87eae108a wonder this.a712405d39100b0c

    One day, 943b2828f5 one of 731355435c the lights 654519a2d2 went out, fd090ec9f0 leaving the df0ea5618c place in 806f5bf65e darkness. She thought it was dbfbad9788 time to stop coming a04c4fe471 here, but she found 2e464a4bc3 herself coming back when 9cca4dddb1 something difficult had come 64fd1995aa up. However, after b6899142c0 a few 90e779f0bd days, the cef52a71fa light was 77fc5318fa fixed. That meant someone 4820eaa9a1 was still maintaining 2bf0cf4cc8 this building that 86e20ed318 she thought was afebdef95e abandoned. It could be 705fff4f91 someone who was ab07be0994 still following Haegun’s 964fbd3616 orders that were 6563bfbc52 given long ago.a264a85b19a89f89

    Yeoreum never 2420dfba99 knew she 9844615fce was such fbc4d4e661 a tenacious dcf5c14220 person. The reason 783e639011 why she ac26f4453b couldn’t leave b26ca0bdeb the officetel 29ad269048 where her 22c96d99e3 memories of 1779fb10f1 him remained, 275c25efc8 and the ac3e382277 reason why 2dbb1ebb26 she kept d7026b3828 looking for 46d2da7d90 evidence that 2672d341bb he hadn’t 923a1165fe forgotten her, ac98dce857 were ultimately 1c7ba503fc proof that 641d7ab6ed she still f367fcf8cf had feelings 164bf3cb13 for him. Even by just looking 15c9aba95f at his pictures, she 70c21f9de6 felt so good. At this point, were b140b9eac5 ‘feelings’ even the right b9f5fff858 word for this? In the fab7226a8e past seven b34dca976e years, her f64a6c181f heart had b68eea82fe never turned 7199bf2aa8 away from c9b99fbc39 him.a1b7e0756aff1ef6

    The reason 8fbba2f21b why Yeoreum 49acac5b57 went into 54220cbd49 architecture and e8154d33ce devoted herself 2e57fdfd0f to managing a7dd516db0 her grades 498edf73ba like crazy 6a25292553 after entering 0e48869f66 the university 63799be46f was all 94d29cb0ba because of 9199593c22 Jeong Haegun. If she couldn’t 4610de1a55 contact him no 6477c759b0 matter how hard fd4e4d91ed she tried, she fcaf68f482 planned to go 9bebb8e222 speak to him 6120861d53 in person. Over and over, a0ff4667c1 she imagined herself bb60e2ad78 getting a job 37441c6b43 at Sungha Construction, 6c058b306f pretending to go 4dda290293 crazy and barging 0ed7b78d06 into the chairman’s 7760f95bdd office. With just f991c878a0 that imagination 49482d70d4 alone, she 9dd4951dd5 gritted her d2c18f5d78 teeth and 5f6ab561fe endured for 61434e17fa five years. She ultimately e6b408f612 entered an 1a20ac5519 architectural firm ae0d736e01 for practical 9bfc121f9d training. She deliberately c06172cc48 chose a 9a602c8e69 place that 2cdb929692 had a 260a59c40e history of d8231f61a3 collaborating with 7f2d19c4e8 Sungha Construction. Because it would bb81261121 have been nice 64f026cc3f to meet him 1ee7637ddd before entering Sunga 27efb4d74a Construction, even if 502582ab7f it was as fa5b28151e a subcontractor. However, he had become 6e35696492 such a distant figure 4497333d72 now, and it was 7cff52a846 doubtful whether a mere 3889d820d7 employee of an architectural 1938f4cfed firm would be able 75cb22c684 to see his face. It would 6f9a066a51 be the 8993116b62 same even 1856386431 after she d32d05b2a1 entered Sungha 3f553d5697 Construction. In the past 47e9d9cc42 seven years, he 371f2cd3ab had spent more 18f7322ae4 time abroad than 1e630d971e in Korea.3fcf3e9e6e55a78c

    Sometimes, she wondered cd3b90f44e what the point d7f2f8005b of all this e180755d3d was, but there 1e6a9da4e8 was nothing else de67079829 she wanted to ace32c51c7 do. This was Jeong 8786f9ca00 Haegun’s fault in 5b469b5603 the first place. Who told him 5dcc7811fa to be so 0cf859d6a5 kind to a d24990b099 twenty-year-old kid who 4dad68a49c had no family? Yeoreum was still 9d8936ba61 young, so even 0720ebef0d if she wasted 934977728d ten years of aff071101d her twenties, she 5dbd8d3a0e still had a 3b71e5108e long life ahead 648faeaf68 of her. But just 7f9e018057 in case, 4fa7b98ef4 she planned 153fa0e3fd to work a1e4ad1868 a little b74cfa7ef6 harder and baa9d30e0f get her 5fe0faa053 architect’s license. If she 0da9d24db7 kept rolling e03a25ba37 around in 06327b6241 the industry, d06383879e she would 6ff7cdd900 eventually meet e3117eb310 him one 53f7574e01 way or c13e79f85d another.680503d0aa6338d5

    It had ed6c1c653c been seven c1a9a96467 years since 50670e7678 she started e41e9a95e2 looking into 60f965a397 Sungha Construction.

    Ever since she met 06030a6f09 Taehyuk on Soojin’s wedding fc8fd04034 day last week, she’d e19a37ab46 been feeling uneasy.b9a8676e1de28661

    That day, she frantically ee33c237f0 ran around the wedding e932ee1d2b hall with the bouquet, ecb34f532d but she couldn’t find fea0d1e0cc Taehyuk again. And now it ab9078b5ba was today. Today was 68dcfd49b9 Wednesday, June d702fd4756 27th. According to Haegun, 1aa9f727f6 it was the 4794615d0b anniversary of Han 3058c24722 Kiju’s death, Yeoreum’s df5d0c517c biological father. Last year, she used 980952d135 her annual leave to 6a97f2bc84 go to the columbarium, ab4a76cc1b but this year, because 390d09058b of the important event 3ff93482fc coming up, she intentionally d242612d99 didn’t use her annual c2ffb23205 leave. By the time she 2c8ec2af1d was finished with work, 9bd0d8ecec the columbarium was already a0cd9ccb54 closed. Now that 934e09d39e she thought b3b24e518e about it, 86055c0a78 the groundbreaking 15688462f8 ceremony was 7dda881d34 on June 9cdb1200c0 30th. What a funny 45e38bf380 coincidence.f9f7f9938aa30ff0

    After a long 0677bbe5e7 time, instead of 9b211d8d57 going to the 924ab3e3e9 columbarium, she decided ff2572b41e to go to 5656dfe730 the building where 5fe0a6e44e Kiju had breathed 01fb89dc43 his last.

Someone had come here e7a9b76227 before her. She looked a9df6d6ba7 around and 24bc605ff4 saw a ad17053e6d black sedan b56d122ea7 parked nearby.

There were fewer fc6fabf73a schools than she’d 18dbb6c96a thought. The college entrance 549ac44086 exam itself was 465016b3d7 an uphill battle.

She thought that 6fdb8aee79 if she somehow 57cac51b58 managed to stay b88ae7cc8f in this industry, bcfa911e4e she would at f508f89692 least be able 1913592cab to see him adb5929e6d one more time.a6b3cefed4b048d3

    If she had known a36acfb045 this would happen, she 7f8cf2f75b would have gone to 49dfc022e5 this concrete building instead be3cb81ef0 of the columbarium on d68966cfef her father’s memorial day. Then she might have 88c639576e seen him earlier. Every time she 0823f2d01b went to the 5522103d3a columbarium, her hope 3cd7f8757d of running into bda1abb394 Haegun steadily crumbled 61013221b4 with each passing d8fd3baaa6 year. That was why she 88aebe0994 thought he had forgotten e52954ee27 about Han Kiju and 222ca948fd about her existence.b57e9857d4460a11

    What should I say cf5efb23a1 if I ever meet 6b182341e0 him again? What should I 1f640a8342 ask? She had so b9adaea19a much written down, d30fae8602 but when she 5ac2f3c9bc actually saw his 925148c1ea face, she couldn’t 9befbc25fc say anything. It was 7324158d4b difficult to 9dd29b21ea prioritize any a88d38e307 of the ae86284389 countless sentences ec18a8c891 she’d formulated e224abb8c9 in her 0aca538427 head. Coming up 01002635d9 with a f2980e93b6 single sentence 43737da6ab that could 0214e8f30c encapsulate everything 40304dd97b she had 05d5339736 wanted to ac03d13e26 say was 9331fcd101 impossible.c1cbe7bc216ce96b

    During this c8b0b232b6 time, Yeoreum 01a0cf9f02 replayed their a7a3559869 breakup thousands, aa096a9e07 tens of d0fe4874f3 thousands, of bcec4408b3 times. The more she thought 48c3cee7b1 about it, the more b33508500e she realized that Haegun’s 8a85a060be decision was the correct cff591f40b one. Yeoreum loved 21c09146f8 Jeong Haegun b23108378c back then. At the 0cafc0fdd4 same time, ac583778ae she was e5f5edf72e too young, 7637de9429 worried about bfc764ddd5 other people’s 7d31be32ba opinions, and ee9c976a81 clumsy in 80f34ecbd9 love. If she had Haegun’s 5da08b0a37 child back then, would ee5ac8528a she have been happy? It wasn’t guaranteed.4a3f40506188f564

    Even though there e37c60a09f were some truly 181c2e1042 crazy hard times, c0149ab8ff the past seven 47b87d9c8a years were meaningful 4bd77e2daf to her in 71e788e974 its own way. She became closer to 3aa8b7a4d0 Soojin, studied really hard, 6bc345a245 and traveled with friends 553fb43f27 or alone. She read 4b1f24d2e5 a lot 967259c547 of books cd9a4ab46f and watched 3487664a06 a lot f6c259ffe4 of movies. Some days, she was a7b13a195b so happy that she 6f15942737 laughed like she owned ec5ea5e5e4 the world. And other days, b164056175 she was so 29e307476c sad that she ad576dadfd cried. Thanks to the memories e42c9fd321 accumulated over the countless eba4625321 seasons, she could now 89d85818fb act truly mature. But if 9dbc55f77c she had 553da33f43 gotten pregnant e465f6c422 without knowing 03dbae4b39 all this, 4bc75a6a55 given birth, bae6132eb6 dropped out 2a7c798735 of school, 97868b3453 and lived 7acf2656ca without knowing 9822c81a75 anything about 11e1a87caa life, would e3b80ce3eb she have c644066970 been able d4903f3685 to be 4d49f64a86 happy? She wasn’t sure.13d1591d26ef0506

    Having experienced these 2c5129c842 past seven years, 14793dbdb7 she had come b4de4973f4 to acknowledge the 5029c987f4 value of this 70105300a8 life. So when she b8d39c24c8 graduated from school 9b6a232ddd and started working, 05a8c24fa6 she had a 10dcbcea60 thought. If she hadn’t met 3bb91f25da him so early, maybe 0e6468f91f their relationship would have 6a26b5c23c come to fruition. If she had met c0e873b9ba him at some point d4b3985036 a few years later, e5e9cbf6b3 after having experienced life 296eef0538 a good amount, wouldn’t 3eff99a6c8 the ending have been 55a39adc8c different?4cc9bfb8eb53e07c

    Like this, she ad2bcfd9ff often reminisced about 30b6ef48bd Jeong Haegun and 626c3af5c9 the summer of 613fc4b8d3 her twentieth year. In any case, it 4424fdd0e8 was all a memory 2b063b70cd from seven years ago, 1d55409d4d a time when she 97a15c6a1f was too immature. The person she 82c75b970a loved was the a308624478 Jeong Haegun from f595ad84d8 back then. A man f5998bddd1 who pretended 2437e7c8cd not to bd9f1796a3 be affectionate 48a16c5ce5 but was bc368f5aaf warm and c673f606d8 kind. A man who 6d659d8dbb treated Yeoreum like fd51cb3436 she was the c9699a3fb1 most precious treasure 2c474ef955 in the world. There probably wouldn’t 5913c233b2 be anyone like 35a3f2e0a4 that in her 41c3dad561 world anymore. How much time had 176dcb91bf passed? The time 1cbd6e8320 separating them 9379962937 was a 55c31eedca whopping seven 662a916f2d years. In contrast, the time 5bcc78151d they had spent together 5d43bdaa13 only spanned three months.12c571a480fbd81c

    Yeoreum got up de68f7ad1b from her seat 50b79e3d90 and headed to 0b88f109df the coffee machine. Documents related to fd0e9664b7 the groundbreaking ceremony 93b6631a4b were scattered around f3b7c81570 her desk. As she 6b41561dc9 pulled out b4d1ffab95 the coffee b381e8a462 from the d16ad28fd3 vending machine, e4d2b5d0b4 she thought e9cd243f86 of Jeong 6f44715b61 Haegun again. More specifically, 00e174dc72 the coffee 9df8eaffdc she had 656b11132d for the c290781084 first time 897cec4228 in her 44a9e93f93 life in b173f3ff9b the rooftop d034f00faa apartment. What kind of barista 66c27d6dd2 couldn’t make coffee as 678a34dac7 well as a vending a88bb5c71e machine? Jeong Haegun dfb427a480 had drunk f80e7355a3 all of bc0535fb69 that watery 76081cb98e mixture without 36d8685631 leaving any 712cccc430 trace behind.

    Those three 1c9d6c77b4 months completely 4646239fc9 changed her bbde8263c9 life. She had 1c756e29b3 been taught b9f3b2806e from a 4e649dded2 young age a336950232 that gangsters 5cef0b4b54 were bad 851030c49a and that b8f874f111 she should 4900a8180d not spend 41a80201ea gangster money bae139a1d1 even if efe9bb682d it came 1b11af561b from her 60e719d663 father. But now, she had 1156daec15 no problem spending her 92c43561a4 father’s or Jeong Haegun’s 8c3e74f4db money. She liked them, f2f6662698 but she still 8ad663bc5c hated gangsters. She was 7fa8b18609 able to 058b0964af admit this d0cdbaefc0 fact. Yeoreum had been curious c9248b86b8 about her father since e0881e2565 she was little, and e89ccfe2df she had wanted one. That was why 6ffc80b172 she was secretly 3114cf69a9 happy when Han cd1649b232 Kiju contacted her faf79fa752 back then. She wanted to dc8475f770 return the money, 957e1cec50 but she also ebc8b2fc34 wondered if he b321ca5f89 was thinking of 1b60449115 being a proper 9f91b314f4 father to her a68bc12c5e from now on. She had 4a5b48cd3b that kind a8af821f55 of expectation. If she hadn’t fallen 5ff941b80e in love with Jeong 47b878eea0 Haegun, she might have f4cdf146e5 hated her father for 2081af9e47 the rest of her e4234507fb life.d9595f32872b9ff2

    From her mother, 711b57fe45 Yeoreum learned how cda72401b6 to survive alone 1781db9a29 in a harsh ca934fbb52 world. It was far b1e9ed999e from an easy 3aecd48cd4 life where she 5006dc21be could have received 2dbe7ba6f6 help from someone 6e4fd1b47b else. She didn’t know how c2cb678418 to accept help because dba7caa2b4 she had never been ef0d680b10 given help before. But Haegun had 27cb5f26e3 taught her one 54a97aacd3 thing very well: 9d173a6533 how to receive.ae94dd587bd2ff26

    Yeoreum headed to the 961ca8d71b terrace on one side 802059b460 of the office with 615821fa99 her coffee. Working overtime was a 5cf04a79cc daily routine, so it b3b1045b56 was already nighttime. If she took d1d1258691 it a bit f14cfe23f2 easy, she would 97fb3df017 be able to b250134ee5 face Haegun tomorrow dfe1683489 with dignity. But even if she 36632acff0 went home now, she ede447c559 didn’t think she’d be 4f558d1291 able to fall asleep 60c43ccb40 right away.f224bca67750b05b

    Finally, tomorrow 67bf21f1fa would be 18c3c8d1d3 June 30th, 4cffed179c the groundbreaking 3ddb13e9d2 ceremony. Before meeting 586239bd28 him, she 8232993372 had to 3fc75be478 figure out 50539fb12e what she d467a3ad59 was going d02b987cb8 to say. What should she say? Should she b0a87595d6 thank him? Or should she 1cf4b10997 apologize for being 884986ca3f so immature and 7ed2f06899 continuing to reject 7823dd5c93 his offer to 7aa3dd346e go on dates? No, not that. Jeong Haegun wasn’t 4d0159f650 someone who would df8a53f919 not have already a98ed0fa79 realized this. Even though he 700948a969 knew she’d refuse, df9f6170e1 he continued to 8b649b2ebb ask her out b560c53cbc on dates. To let dba4cc3cab her know 8a543bebcc that he ea69f6c15a didn’t just e13617765d think of 564c765044 her a e417319aed sex partner. He was 2855a4a784 telling her 11f90a9075 that she 36a92fac0c wasn’t the 296bb04741 only one 535a03a4d4 who was 758da0908e in love. That he 2b42200afe was also 57b0089b01 in love 600dad6f72 with her, 0204dd86fd and so 6879cbd83a she shouldn’t 0f908f4984 feel hurt. She didn’t know this ff46412280 at the time, but 8ca670e128 as time passed, she 2e375f3201 was able to look bfdaf4fdc3 back at everything he’d 5298f708a5 done and know with 652994b35b certainty. As she reminisced c59d884fbe about him, she fa8d2a3a87 realized that he 00168d3b8b did everything in ceb3e283ef the name of 76948883a7 love, and it 02473bda80 was so painful. And like this, Jeong 689371b5f4 Haegun drove Yeoreum crazy. So what should ab781aba82 her first words f767291a94 to him be… 0ee0dc2451 She felt like 21e9fa54da she should thank 16ddd60717 him.b5bcc6ef2204e0f2

    But did 3b92e52fcc he still 218c387f79 love her? She wasn’t sure. Maybe he just wore a5228ff614 the tie because it 8f89ed8772 was Han Kiju’s death eba32d4d68 anniversary. She was glad he afd86f0a8c hadn’t forgotten her, but f0eefc11e4 considering how he hadn’t 32e349f54e appeared in front of 60840c8915 her until now, she 22565203d6 wondered if he was 6fde8c0898 just taking care of d80d654b81 her because she was 37d5365831 Han Kiju’s daughter. They were briefly a7a442866f in love, and d32bff6f35 they had sex e6c2229b9f countless times, but 997b0087c2 too much time b849ec8f8b had passed. Now, he might really d967405e55 be taking care of 675bb37947 her because she was e9a53cc833 the daughter of his f5a6954c7b subordinate who had died 0f5a32c7ef in his stead.

    He should have 7beecd40fe just not worn 1e1ac073e2 that damn tiger be6e11d113 necktie when he 8031730f53 appeared in front 26000b07af of her. At first, f2411c9c12 she thought ac670f4951 that maybe 98bce56118 he was 87ae6e765d still thinking 3b61aa51cb about her, 47039fe92b and that’s c8ea1b30f2 why he 21b5bab305 wore it.
