Monday morning.
Sa Rang always looked forward to this time when she could wake Do Han with a morning call, but today was different.
A dream featuring him and Hyeri had disturbed her sleep.
Maybe it was because of Jiwoo’s words about being sleep partners, but in the dream, the two of them were just that.
Being forced to watch that scene was painful for Sa Rang, but she could not break free.
Even when she closed her eyes and covered her ears, it did nothing.
She only woke from the dream after she had sat down and cried until she could cry no more.
Her back was drenched in sweat.
It had been a nightmare.
Unable to fall back asleep, she stayed in bed with her eyes open, until her room brightened with the morning light.
It was finally time to call Do Han.
Sa Rang hesitated with her phone before finally pressing the call button.
“Hello.”
“You’re awake.”
“Yes.”
Unlike his usual sleeptinged voice, Do Han’s voice was clear.
“Then I’ll see you later.”
“Okay.”
Since he was awake, there was no need for a long conversation.
She was glad that she didn’t feel like hearing his voice for long today.
While she didn’t want to see his face either, she couldn’t miss class.
Sa Rang got ready to go to school and left the house.
As she opened the glass front door and descended the stairs, she bumped into Do Han who was also leaving.
“Hello.”
It was ironic how she never bumped into him when she wanted to, but today she hated the coincidence.
Their paths inevitably led in the same direction, so they couldn’t separate.
Silence descended on them as they walked side by side.
Nothing had changed between them, yet the atmosphere felt heavy.
Sa Rang felt ridiculous for being angry on her own.
When she thought about it, he had done nothing wrong.
Whatever his relationship with Hyeri, he had no reason to explain to her.
She wasn’t his girlfriend, and she had never even confessed her feelings to him.
So it must have been bewildering for him to suddenly see her change.
Sa Rang tried to think rationally.
To him, I’m just a junior he knows.
“When should we do the project for next month?”
The only topic of conversation they could have was about the class.
They had just completed their first assignment yesterday, but having nothing else to say, she threw the question out casually.
Despite her efforts to act natural, Sa Rang’s expression remained stiff.
Do Han looked at her curiously.
“I’m thinking ahead. When are you available?”
“Anytime. Whenever it’s convenient for you.”
“Then let’s do it on a weekday afternoon instead of the weekend.”
As long as Sa Rang liked him, she couldn’t help but mix her feelings, even in their assignment.
Shouldn’t she stop liking him if he’s involved with another girl?
Maybe she should start letting go of her feelings bit by bit.
She was just confused about what to do.
With that in mind, she chose a weekday afternoon for their next assignment, a time when they could spend briefly together, instead of a whole day on the weekend.
“Okay.”
It might have been difficult on a weekday afternoon because of Hyeri, but Do Han nodded.
There was still a month left, and he wanted to oblige her because she seemed somewhat upset.
Silence lingered for a moment before he asked,
“Where are we going?”
“I don’t know. I’ll have to look into it.”
The awkward silence returned.
As the silence stretched on, Sa Rang tried to come up with a topic for conversation in her head. But unexpectedly, he was the one to break the silence.
“Do you want to go see flowers?”
“What?”
“You seem interested in flowers.”
Only then did Sa Rang realize what he was talking about.
He was discussing a date location for their assignment.
“There’s a tulip festival at the amusement park next month. We could go during the night opening and see the fireworks.”
Sa Rang looked up at Do Han with a slightly surprised expression.
He didn’t seem particularly attentive in class, even though he was repeating the course.
He barely arrived in the lecture room in time to avoid being late, and at a glance, he seemed to be only halflistening to the lessons.
She thought he was doing this assignment out of obligation.
“Did you find that out yourself?”
“I can’t just have you do all the research. Is it not good?”
“No. It’s good. I like flowers.”
Before she knew it, Sa Rang was smiling.
Whether it was because she was glad about going to see flowers, or because she was happy that Do Han remembered her interest in flowers, she wasn’t sure.
Despite her previous thoughts of restraining her feelings for him, her heart pounded again at his words.
Then, for the first time that day, Do Han also smiled.
Whether it was because today was Monday, Kang Woo, who had woken up early, had been waiting for Sa Rang’s call from a while ago.
He seemed to have already been tamed by the morning call, as his eyes opened automatically when it was time.
When the bell rang, Do Han felt pleased.
Thinking about hearing her always bright and refreshing voice soon, his mood was greatly heightened, but strangely, she seemed to lack energy today.

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…
