The original Korean paragraph consists of 40 lines. Here is the verbatim English translation with the same number of lines:

Ji Woo had lunch outside with her colleagues for the first time in a while.

Usually, they used the company cafeteria, but one of her colleagues, who was getting married next month, offered to treat everyone to celebrate and hand out wedding invitations.

Holding coffees and continuing their chatter, they were returning to the office when they saw Do Han standing in front of it.

Ji Woo was startled at the sight of him.

Though she had done nothing wrong, she involuntarily gulped, feeling guilty for being seen as the woman who had an affair with her friend’s boyfriend.

After sending her colleagues ahead, Ji Woo confronted Do Han.

“Did you come to see me?”

His expression was just as stern as her unwelcoming gaze.

“Do you know that Sa Rang is even thinking of marrying Jung Yun Jae?”

Ji Woo’s eyes widened a bit.

It was obviously news to her, and while she knew it wasn’t true, she was flustered by this unexpected turn in the narrative.

But inwardly, she admired Sa Rang for giving Do Han a taste of his own medicine.

So now she was the even worse woman who had an affair with her soon-to-be-married friend’s man.

Bitter about this role but accepting the consequences of her own fabrication, Ji Woo asked, “What do you want to say?”

“So, you knew.”

Do Han narrowed his eyes at Ji Woo’s composed demeanor.

He had hoped that he had misseen and misheard yesterday, but Ji Woo’s attitude suggested he had been correct.

“How could you and Jung Yun Jae do this to Sa Rang? And in the same building, right next door to her, with her friend’s boyfriend…”

He stopped, struggling to even say the words.

Feeling betrayed by the two people he trusted most, he dreaded how crushed Sa Rang would be upon finding out.

After pondering all night, he still couldn’t decide how to act, so he came looking for Ji Woo.

Starting by ending the relationship between the two seemed the right first step.

“Stop it now.”

“Stop what?”

“Seeing Jung Yun Jae.”

Do Han couldn’t believe what had transpired among these three in the past five years.

How did these once pure freshmen get entangled in such a messy love triangle?

He felt more miserable, thinking he might have been the catalyst for it all.

“Seems like you forgot what Yun Jae said yesterday. You have no right to say that,” Ji Woo retorted, her anger boiling.

She was infuriated just seeing Do Han’s face; she wondered how much more Sa Rang must be enduring.

It was a relief that Sa Rang hadn’t quit her job.

If it were her, Ji Woo doubted she could work in the same office as such an ex.

“You shouldn’t be here after all the pain you’ve caused Sa Rang. Do you know how she lived after you left school? How much she had to…”

Sa Rang suffered for dating the wrong guy, forced to be cautious at school until graduation.

Everyone knew they were dating, as they attended classes in the same building.

Ji Woo, who dated Do Han’s friend Tae Hoon at the time, also felt the impact, contributing to their breakup.

Now she sighed, wondering who was blaming whom.
The original Korean paragraph contains 37 lines. Here is the verbatim English translation, preserving the same number of lines:

“Yeah. Because you were troubled because of me, and you and Jung Yun Jae know all about it, you two shouldn’t do that to Sa Rang.”

Do Han was determined to persuade Ji Woo to end her relationship with Yun Jae.

Making Sa Rang break up with Yun Jae was the next step.

“That’s none of your business.”

“No, I have to be involved.”

“Why you? What are you to her?”

Ji Woo demanded to know his reason for acting this way now.

If he was so concerned about Sa Rang, he shouldn’t have hurt her in the first place.

He had made her cry all the tears she had in her lifetime and now, after 5 years, suddenly appears, pretending to still be Sa Rang’s boyfriend.

“It’s my fault.”

Ji Woo was at a loss for words.

It’s rare for a sinner to admit their guilt so readily.

“I have to make it right.”

“How? What will you do?”

Will he tell Sa Rang about her and Yun Jae’s supposed relationship? Just to ease his own conscience?

Just as Ji Woo was about to be disappointed in him again, Do Han spoke.

“I plan to teach Sa Rang how to be properly loved.”

Seeing his serious expression, Ji Woo felt uneasy.

Somehow, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Sa Rang would get entangled with Do Han again.

After taking a day off, Sa Rang’s flu symptoms had completely disappeared.

But her throat was still a bit sore and she kept coughing, indicating she might suffer for a few more days.

It was just lunchtime, yet she already wanted to go home.

Returning to the office after lunch in the cafeteria, she paused before sitting down.

There were unfamiliar items on her desk.

A knee blanket, hot packs, throat-friendly candies, and a paper cup from the cafe on the first floor.

These neatly arranged items had a small folded paper amongst them.
