Looking into his deep, dark eyes, Se Ah smiled shyly. Each time he said he loved her, it felt different. The first time was heartwarming, the second time made her heart race, and now it was almost dizzying.
“My first love is Cha Kang Woo. I’m one hundred percent serious. It was almost love at first sight.”
Raising an eyebrow briefly, Kang Woo’s mouth relaxed. He seemed intoxicated with happiness beyond satisfaction.
“That’s unfair trade. If you get one, you should give one. You’re bad at this, Ji Se Ah.”
Se Ah cupped Kang Woo’s cheeks with her palms and whispered in his ear.
“My love is always 1+1. It’s not too much for you, Kang Woo.”
Kang Woo’s neck slowly reddened. Their lips locked again, seamlessly.
Saturday.
Se Ah left the cooking class and headed to the underground parking lot. Lately, she had been using the subway or bus, but today she drove. She planned to stop by the supermarket on her way.
Kang Woo seemed to have lost weight recently. His jawline had become sharper.
Without saying anything, she wondered if he didn’t like the food prepared by the helper.
Maybe I should make tteokguk with lots of meat and dumplings for the New Year?
On her way to the car, she suddenly remembered that Hyun Sook hadn’t attended the cooking class and she had forgotten to call her. She immediately made a call.
“Mother, it’s Se Ah.”
[Yes, I know, my daughter-in-law.]“Are you sick? Why didn’t you come today?”
[No, just couldn’t be bothered.]Hyun Sook laughed as usual.
[Se Ah, I’m thinking of stopping the classes.]“Suddenly? Why, mother?”
[I guess it’s my age. I’m getting lazy. You’re continuing, right?]Actually, without Hyun Sook, there wasn’t much reason to attend. But since she had paid, she decided to finish this course.
“Yes.”
[Good. Stay healthy. Get along with Kang Woo, eat well, okay?]“Yes, mother, you too.”
[Alright.]The call ended shortly.
Se Ah felt heavy-hearted. Although Hyun Sook said nothing was wrong, her voice had cracked a bit.
Was there an issue at home? She was worried, but couldn’t visit due to Nam Tae and Lee’s manager.
Her phone rang. Thinking it was Hyun Sook again, she checked the screen, but it was Kang Woo.
He must have returned from the office, as messages were coming in.
[Where did you go?] [When are you coming back?] [I’m bored to death without you.]Suddenly, it felt like she had brought home a large dog. It needed lots of attention, followed her around the house, and even nagged subtly.
Recent incidents sprang to mind. When he was acting as a pillow for her arm, Kang Woo suddenly commented.
“There’s no muscle in your arm. You need to work out.”
Immediately, he signed her up for a VIP exclusive fitness center and got her a personal trainer.
Whenever they went out.
“Your neck looks bare. Even a scarf can raise your body temperature by 2 degrees.”
He persistently wrapped a muffler around her, following her around.
She was painfully aware of how persistent his ways of showing care were.
Yet, she couldn’t help but love it – hopelessly smitten with Cha Kang Woo.
She sent Kang Woo a message saying she was on her way. As she was opening the driver’s door,
“Oh? Se Ah.”
Recognizing the familiar voice as Min Young’s, Se Ah forced a smile and turned around.
“It’s been a while, Min Young.”
Greeting her, Se Ah noticed the change in Min Young’s appearance. Her C-curled bob had suddenly grown long, with natural-looking waves reaching below her chest.
Even her style had changed – a coat, clutch, high heels. Her hairstyle and items seemed to overlap with Se Ah’s own.
It must be in fashion? Dismissing the thought, Se Ah put her phone in her shopper bag.
“Se Ah, are you heading home after your cooking class?”
“Yes.”
“How about we grab a coffee? It’s been a while.”
“Ah, what should I do? My husband is waiting at home.”
It was true, but she wanted to use Kang Woo as an excuse. Min Young’s lips noticeably drooped.
“It’s good to see you and Kang Woo have a strong marriage.”
Referring to him as Kang Woo, not Cha Representative, Se Ah’s brows furrowed slightly.
“I felt the same once.”
Min Young stroked the bonnet of the black sedan parked beside Se Ah.
“After a few years, things cool down. Men are different from women.”
“I guess it depends on the situation.”
“I used to say the same. I thought my fiancé only had eyes for me. If he had to die for me, he would have pretended to.”
“…”
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Just advice from a woman, an older sister. I don’t think you have anyone to give you such advice. My friends are nosy and we’ve been together since we were young, so they can speak without restraint.”
In an instant, Min Young’s smile turned bitter with cheap sympathy.
“Usually, it’s a conversation not had unless you’re family.”
It was clear she knew Se Ah was an orphan. It was laughable how she was doling out advice as if it mattered.
Se Ah burst into laughter. Min Young’s eyes narrowed sharply.
“…I don’t know about later, but right now, Kang Woo and I are really good. Actually, I’m worried about something. I’m only 26 and want to wait to have children… but Kang Woo really wants them. Sometimes, it’s overwhelming, not sure what to do.”
Se Ah casually mentioned this as she picked up her ringing phone in front of Min Young. She made sure Min Young could clearly see .
“Min Young, let’s have coffee another time. Sorry. Kang Woo is persistent, about everything.”
“…Okay.”
Se Ah climbed into the driver’s seat, pushing away the unpleasant feelings and steering the car. In the rearview mirror, she saw Min Young still standing there, staring in her direction.
Even if Kang Woo and I end up parting ways…
I hope the woman by his side is never you, Lee Min Young.
