Watching the door slam shut, Juhan touched his chin as if pondering, then let out a suppressed chuckle.
Dressed in their own clothes again, they headed to a café recommended by Jaerim, located on the outskirts of Seoul. The area was greener than they had expected.
The café was smaller than imagined, but had a spacious yard that gave it an open, refreshing feel. Juhan and Eunsoo entered.
“Welcome.”
The weather was nice, so most customers were seated outside, leaving the inside empty. They ordered coffee and a slice of cake, then comfortably explored the café.
The interior was simple, probably to highlight the artworks as it also served as a gallery. However, the unique accessories scattered around caught their eye.
“I like this lamp.”
Eunsoo pointed at a stand lamp in a corner. It was a metal spring-jointed lamp with natural rust marks, indicating its age.
“American vintage, right?”
“Yeah. Looks like a 60s reissue model.”
“Seems familiar. Was it in ‘Green Book’ or ‘La La Land’?”
“I think it was in ‘Green Book’.”
After a round inside, they sat down as a staff brought their coffee and cake.
“Wow, even the tableware is pretty.”
Eunsoo admired quietly. The staff explained,
“Our owner loves collecting vintage items. When there’s no exhibition, everything is displayed. He really treasures them.”
“Must be a different atmosphere every time. Is the owner here?”
“No, he’s always here, but had to step out for a bit. He’s meeting someone in the backyard.”
“Ah, I see. Thank you.”
After the staff returned to the counter, Juhan asked,
“Why the owner?”
“Just curious. Wondering about other collections, and if he’s interested in furniture too.”
“Such dedication to work.”
“Where else would you find such a competent manager, right?”
Eunsoo rummaged in her bag and pulled out something. It was a decorative candle shaped like the number 1 and some matches.
“Here, we’re celebrating our first anniversary. You know what I mean?”
“Uh-huh.”
She stuck the glittering candle in the cake, creating a charming scene. Eunsoo handed the plate to Juhan.
“Hold this and look here.”
“Okay.”
Juhan obediently held the plate under his face and looked straight ahead. After taking a few photos, Eunsoo handed him the phone.
“Now it’s your turn.”
“Okay.”
Juhan handed the cake back to Eunsoo and took the phone. Eunsoo, placing the cake in front of her, smiled brightly, closed her eyes, turned her head to show her profile, and struck various poses. Afterward, she stood up.
“Move over a bit.”
“Okay.”
Eunsoo moved to the seat next to Juhan and stretched her arm holding the phone far out.
“Come closer.”
Without a word, Juhan leaned towards Eunsoo, their shoulders almost touching. They both fit snugly in the selfie frame.
“Smile.”
Their lips curled into a smile simultaneously, and as soon as the camera clicked, their expressions relaxed.
“Done. Looks couple-like enough. Let’s eat.”
“Okay.”
Juhan, almost in a trance, obeyed Eunsoo’s commands and was about to reach for the cake when he suddenly regained his senses.
“What? What did we just do?”
“Just completed our second mission.”
Eunsoo nonchalantly replied, taking a bite of the cake and looking satisfied.
As they conversed, someone entered. The employee greeted them automatically but then chuckled awkwardly.
“Owner, are you done?”
“Yes, thank you for managing the counter alone.”
A friendly-looking middle-aged woman entered, followed by a man who spoke to her.
“That was a wonderful interview, ma’am.”
“Likewise.”
Hearing ‘owner’, Eunsoo’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, but her expression turned strange upon seeing the man who came with the owner. The man also recognized Eunsoo and widened his eyes.
“Eunsoo?”
It’s him, no, it is him.
Eunsoo awkwardly smiled and nodded at Gye Hun, her former magazine team leader.
“Hello. What brings you here?”
“An interview.”
Approaching their table, Gye Hun glanced curiously at Eunsoo, dressed carefully, Juhan opposite her, and the table with remnants of a celebration.
Standing up awkwardly, Eunsoo introduced them.
“This is Gye Hun, the team leader at the magazine I used to work at.”
Juhan stood up and politely nodded.
“And this is…”
“Kim Juhan, the owner of , right?”
Gye Hun extended his hand first, recognizing Juhan.
“I’ve seen your interview before. You looked like a celebrity in the photos, but you’re even better in person.”
Juhan, who had declined most interviews lately, had given a few when he first took over as the owner after his father.
With a smile, Juhan gratefully accepted the compliment and shook Gye Hun’s hand, looking intently at him.
So, you’re Gye Hun, the team leader.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
