Da Hyun returned home and managed her confused feelings before having dinner with Su Cheol.
Reflecting on it, she couldn’t even be sure whether it was a thing of the past or not.
Da Hyun decided not to worry anymore about the incident of running into Si Hoon today. Whether he was ambidextrous or righthanded, it had nothing to do with me.
It was surreal that a memory she didn’t remember suddenly came up.
Da Hyun ignored the throbbing of her pulse in her ears, considering it as an unconscious imagination.
She couldn’t tell Min Hyuk that she had encountered Si Hoon.
If it wasn’t just an afterimage, she would have calmly said that she had encountered Si Hoon.
Da Hyun erased the makeup she had put on to meet Chang Jeong.
Su Cheol even hated seeing her apply makeup.
It was because she looked so much like her mother, Yeon Sil.
It was natural for a daughter to resemble her mother, but Su Cheol shuddered at the sight.
“You seem prettier without makeup.”
Da Hyun, lost in thought, turned her head.
Min Hyuk liked her face without makeup.
Min Hyuk regretted that her flawless white skin was covered by makeup. Her doublelidded eyes looked more clear thanks to the thickly coated lashes.
“Mr. Min Hyuk, have you bathed?”
Min Hyuk came up behind her while she was sitting at the vanity, not knowing when he had arrived, and met her gaze reflected in the mirror.
“Yeah. I have to care since we are going to see your family.”
Da Hyun stared at his calmed down hair after drying her hair. The shine flowed from his hair just by looking at it.
“Mr. Min Hyuk.”
“Yeah.”
“……”
“If you call me, you should say something?”
Min Hyuk looked at her with a strange expression when she called him and then remained silent.
“Actually, I met your father at the company earlier. I was going to tell you right away, but there was a little problem, so I couldn’t tell you while sorting out my thoughts.”
Min Hyuk was surprised. He knew that she had met Si Hoon because he had received a call from Si Hoon, but he didn’t ask because it seemed like she wanted to hide it.
“A problem? What problem? Ah, I’m not prying. It’s possible to run into each other.”
He wasn’t pleased that they ran into each other even though the probability was low.
Min Hyuk hid his inner feelings and gave a gentle smile.
He felt relieved to know that she wasn’t trying to keep her meeting with Si Hoon a secret from him. He was worried that she would be conscious because she thought she had faced Si Hoon, even though she didn’t remember it.
But contrary to his concern, his jealousy disappeared like smoke when she said she couldn’t tell him right away because she was sorting out her thoughts.
Even though she was thinking about Si Hoon in her mind, he was the one who was jealous.
“Well… for a very brief moment, an image like an afterimage passed through my mind.”
“Afterimage?”
It was a pointless thought, but I hoped that I was the only rational being in her mind, other than Sihoon.
I wished that her eyes held only me, and that she thought of only me.
“Yes, I can’t remember it exactly, but I think it was when I met my stepbrother. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have met alone.”
Minhyuk’s face hardened, then relaxed, as he gently smiled.
“…Can I ask what came to mind?”
Da Hyun nodded and obediently told him about the memory that had surfaced.
“I saw a watch. The watch that my stepfather wore.”
Min Hyuk’s pupils shook like an earthquake, but Da Hyun didn’t notice, as she was murmuring the afterimage that had passed through her mind.
“I was sitting somewhere like a café. I couldn’t remember the face, but it was definitely my stepfather. That’s all. It was just a moment…….”
Da Hyun trailed off midsentence, unsure if it was right to tell Min Hyuk.
Now Min Hyuk was her husband, but in the past, she was the bride of her stepbrother. She wondered if it was okay to say this.
“Anything else?”
“Pardon?”
“Do you remember anything else?”
However, contrary to her worry, he seemed more interested in her memory than in meeting Sihoon.
Da Hyun crinkled her nose and shook her head.
“Nothing.”
She had not remembered anything since the accident. She dismissed it easily, saying that it didn’t matter whether she had memories or not.
Even without memories, she wasn’t particularly inconvenienced in life, so she didn’t really want to remember.
“Besides, I’m not even sure if there was a past that I can’t remember.”
She decided that it was better to focus on her future rather than waste time on lost memories.
“I couldn’t tell you right away because it was my first time and I was confused.”
She wondered what good it would do to talk about her memory with Min Hyuk and Sihoon, who were competitors.
“I’m sorry, is it uncomfortable to talk about this?”
“No, I’m thankful that you told me.”
“You’re thankful?”
“Yes.”
Was it something to be thankful for?
Da Hyun tilted her head.
“I knew you had met him because he contacted me. But you didn’t say anything, so I thought you didn’t want to tell me, but I’m grateful that’s not the case.”
“Oh, you knew.”
