“Sigh.”
I won’t act like this that day.
“I’ll be there by 8.”
Okay, make sure to come. Eun Woo, I’ll be waiting. I’ll wait for Ok Eun Woo!
Upon Jin Ho’s words, he ended the call and tossed his cell phone far away. Why was he feeling uneasy about Jin Ho’s reaction to the event on Friday night?
((()))((()))((()))
The call from Eun Woo was abrupt.
The night he dropped off Seol Hee, not long after he entered his house, the phone rang.
rrrrr
[Teacher Ok Eun Woo]Seeing the name appear on the screen, Seol Hee tensed up. It was the first time she had a phone call with him. As soon as she pressed the call button, a soft voice resonated.
I’m Ok Eun Woo.
“Ah, yes, teacher.”
I’m sorry for the suddenness, but do you have time after work this Friday?
“Ah……”
I’m asking because of the matter we talked about earlier.
‘The matter’ she meant.
“Yes, I have time. That…… date, date, date.”
The word “date” wasn’t hard, but her voice was trembling.
Yes, date. Why is the word date so difficult for you?
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Even though Eun Woo wasn’t looking at her, she bowed her head in apology.
“It’s okay, Friday.”
Then I’ll consider it settled.
As he was about to end the call, Seol Hee hurriedly spoke up.
“Tea, teacher.”
Yes?
“What should I wear that day?”
Suddenly, she remembered the first time he took her to a restaurant. She had felt out of place in the upscale restaurant where he had taken her after work, because she was the only one in casual clothes.
Clothes? Just wear as usual.
“If I stand out like last time because I’m the only one dressed too casually. You wouldn’t want to go around with an ugly girl, would you?”
Oh.
There was a moment of silence. It seemed like he chuckled.
Don’t worry. You look pretty no matter what you wear.
“……Pardon?”
Did she hear wrong? Seol Hee blinked her eyes. But it seemed real since his voice was tinged with a hint of humor.
Did teacher Ok just call me pretty? Did teacher Ok just joke with me?
She still couldn’t believe the soft voice that echoed in her ears.
Then, good night.
Before Seol Hee could say anything, the call was abruptly ended. She stared blankly at her cellphone for a while and couldn’t sleep easily that night.
((()))((()))((()))
What kind of expression did teacher Ok have when he said that?
She couldn’t tell if it was a joke or serious.
Although Eun Woo told her she would look pretty no matter what she wore, Seol Hee didn’t know what to wear. It only made her mind more complicated.
She had to dress to go to work so she couldn’t wear anything too fancy, and considering her previous experience, she also couldn’t wear anything too casual.
After struggling with her choices from 6 AM, she finally chose to wear a simple navy dress.
“Oh my, Seol Hee.”
After finishing work and changing her clothes in the locker room, her fellow technician Chae Rin paused from closing her locker and asked, sticking her head out.
“What’s happening today? You look so pretty. Do you have a date with your boyfriend?”
“A date?”
Seol Hee’s heart skipped a beat at the familiar yet unfamiliar word.
“No, no, no, no, not at all. I broke up with my boyfriend.”
“Oh.”
Did she deny it too vehemently? Chae Rin’s face showed a hint of apology.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m going out with a friend today.”
Chae Rin and she were in good terms, often engaging in pointless small talk. Worried that she might probe more, Seol Hee bowed her head and greeted her.
“Then, have a good weekend!”
She quickly left the hospital and ran to the nearby parking lot.
Tonight was the day she was finally going on a date with Eun Woo. It wasn’t her first time dating, nor was she doing it because she liked him that much. Her mouth was dry with tension. She had no idea how she managed to work all day.
Whenever she and Eun Woo so much as brushed fingers, she was startled and leapt towards the wall.
However, they absolutely could not be discovered by the people at the hospital. One month, just one month. After showing their friends and Chan Jung, as well as his aunt, their relationship, they could break it off.
But what if their coworkers found out?
It couldn’t be. Seol Hee had already experienced a workplace romance once. She couldn’t go through that pain for a fake relationship.
Her uncle was the director of the Dolmare Veterinary Hospital. If the false information that they were dating reached his ears, it would only be a matter of time before her parents found out.
What would happen if her mother found out?
“No, anything but that.”
They absolutely could not be discovered. So, Seol Hee and Eun Woo agreed to meet a short fiveminute distance away from the hospital, out of sight of others.
As she headed towards their meeting spot, a tall man leaning against a car caught her eye.
As a cool wind blew, the man’s coat fluttered, revealing his long legs that were slightly bent. His shining eyes were dazzling as he looked at something.
The street was deserted, but every passerby, whether woman or man, gave the lone man standing there a second look.
Ah, no. As expected.
If they found out she was temporarily dating that man, the world would be in an uproar.
((()))((()))((()))
“I’m here.”
Eun Woo parked the car and shifted into park.
After a simple meal, the place the two arrived at was a staff parking lot at a famous theme park near Seoul.
[Wonderland]Seol Hee had also visited when she was a high school student on a field trip.
The park would close at 8 p.m. today. As expected, the usually brightly lit signs were all turned off.
“Here? It seems like it’s closed.”
“I have a friend here. There’s something I want to show you.”
Eun Woo, who said that, got out of the car and walked over to the other side. He casually opened the car door for her and extended his hand.
“Here.”
Huh? What does he mean?
Not knowing what he meant, Seol Hee stared at his big hand. He then flicked his fingers.
“Grab it. It’s dark.”
She hurriedly grabbed his hand.
“Doctor?”
Why suddenly his hand?
As Seol Hee bowed her head in surprise, he whispered in a soft voice.
“Let’s start with the hand.”
“……”
“Between us.”
His solid fingers confidently intertwined with hers without any hesitation.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
