“Oh, I saw a wedding article not long ago. Congratulations. You looked well suited.”
Passing by Inyoung with a wide stride, she walked confidently. Unable to hold back, Wooyeon burst into laughter as she left the powder room.
Why does this feel so good?
They resented and hated each other. She had harbored feelings only to that extent, but after seeing Inyoung’s distorted expression, she felt a desire to go further.
If possible, she wanted to curse directly.
She didn’t even know if it was sincere.
⭐⭐⭐
Finding Taekyung at the venue was not that difficult. Even from a distance, his conspicuous presence stood out, and she walked in his direction.
To be honest, Taekyung seemed more relaxed than before. Perhaps because he uncharacteristically liked the sunset.
A sense of Inyoung chasing her from behind was felt. Wooyeon wanted to turn around and shoot at her heart’s content.
‘What are you chasing me for?’
Is your stomach hurting by any chance?
Am I distorting coming into the world of an unnie that I can never reach?
Then feel it even more.
I’ll go a little further.
When she took one more step without turning back, Wooyeon’s gaze met Taekyung standing in front of the fountain in the distance.
Even while shaking hands with others, he never took his eyes off Wooyeon.
The familiar face that blocked the view was the cause.
Kim Minjun, who was waiting for his wife with a casual face, intercepted Wooyeon’s wrist firmly.
“……. ”
A sense of confusion was evident in the wrist held by him. Wooyeon quickly turned around to confirm Inyoung’s presence.
It was a foolish worry that she might somehow find out about her relationship with Kim Minjun.
“Ha.”
Mocking her twisted mind more, saying that everything was a secret, and in fact, Inyoung didn’t know that they had been dating for a long time, so it was so absurd that the wind leaked through her lips.
“What’s going on here?”
It was Kim Minjun who threw the same words as Inyoung. Wooyeon laughed bitterly at first, but when she raised her head and looked at him, her expression changed drastically.
“Look at people. Get away from me right now.”
“……. ”
But, foolishly, Kim Minjun did not take a step back.
Although it was said that what is seen and heard here is shrouded in secrecy, it was certain that it would swell up like a mockery in their world.
Wooyeon deliberately acted dignified.
“Did I perhaps step on your foot? If I did, I apologize.”
“Woo…”
Before Kim Minjun could utter Wooyeon’s name, someone gently put their hand on her waist unexpectedly.
At the moment when Wooyeon’s body twitched with the unexpected touch, Taekyung took her hand, put it inside his arm.
“Manager Kim. Do you have something to see with my partner?”
“……. ”
“If you’re going to see, let’s see it together, Manager Kim’s partner. Where is he?”
Kim Minjun couldn’t say anything in response and withdrew with shaky eyes.
The gaze of the people at the venue focused on the two of them.
The meeting of the man who would soon become the king and the partner he chose for the first time. The sound of them whispering to each other was already heard.
“Is that woman Yoon Wooyeon, the UBC main anchor? Cha Taekyung’s woman he’s meeting these days is Yoon Wooyeon?”
“Yoon Wooyeon? Who is that? The face looks familiar.”
“She’s the main anchor at UBC Broadcasting Station! Watch the news. Watch the news!”
“Oh, that one. Wasn’t she in the scandal before, making a fuss? But there, they said she’s meeting a young rookie actor?”
“That agency already posted an apology statement for that! They tried to push Yoon Wooyeon away just to promote their actor. Anyway, Cha Taekyung, the CEO, is looking for a woman to marry. Hah, Yoon Wooyeon…”
Taekyung handed the remaining champagne to a staff member and turned his gaze towards Wooyeon.
“This scene feels like déjà vu.”
In his joke-infused words, Wooyeon smiled lightly.
Come to think of it, if we compare the day entirely covered with memories one wants to forget and today, many things have changed.
At the entrance of the event venue, in front of the staff checking the invitation list, I didn’t falter, and I didn’t become shabby despite people’s whispering.
Among them, the most notable change is that at this moment, regardless of what Cha Taekyung says, I can’t escape from him. Wooyeon leisurely drank new champagne given by the staff.
“Was I very late? I ran here with all my might, worrying that the CEO would scold me.”
In response to his light-hearted words, Taekyung smiled gently.
“You’re not worried at all, and you’re shameless.”
“……. ”
“Follow me, I have someone to introduce you to.”
Taekyung introduced Wooyeon to some people.
People I’m meeting now, or provocative words like “soon to be married.”
He didn’t add such words.
Wooyeon also hoped for that. She just wanted to be introduced as Anchor Yoon Wooyeon and thought that it was enough to attend today as Taekyung’s partner.
Someone wished that someone knew that where they stand and my world are not so different.
When the thought reached there, her heart became a little heavy.
Yoon Wooyeon always insisted on being alone, but now people might approach me using the pretext of friendship with Cha Taekyung.
It was not clear at every moment what kind of life I wanted.
Qualities an anchor should possess.
The destiny as a journalist.
That didn’t mean that I thoroughly examined and evaluated such things. But if I have to change now, there’s no other way.
Of course, there won’t be any lobbying for them. Just because relationships expand doesn’t mean you need to understand everyone.
“Shall we take a break for a moment?”
Around the time when she was casually chatting with the young CEO of Saha Group, Taekyung whispered softly into Wooyeon’s ear.
It could have been just a question, but he often did it in this way.
Whenever a conversation with a slightly different man extended, he inevitably interrupted or approached and took Wooyeon away like this.
While holding champagne glasses, they walked side by side to the terrace, and he looked down at Wooyeon.
“Was it something important, by any chance?”
“No, it wasn’t.”
“Even if it was, I would have interrupted in the middle.”
“…”
“Why? Is it like a joke?”
Wooyeon burst into laughter.
“No, it seems too sincere.”
“After it’s over, shall we go to my place? I can offer you something better than vending machine coffee, a better tea.”
“…”
“Sending such a dazzlingly beautiful partner home alone doesn’t seem like good manners.”
With each word, Taekyung gradually pressed himself closer to Wooyeon. With the terrace scenery before them, he stood above and below Wooyeon, slowly scanning her.
As if asking, “Do you know how enchanting you are right now?” he lightly gestured with his eyes.
“Answer me. Shall we go to my place?”
Wooyeon saw the sparkling reflection of herself in Taekyung’s eyes.
Seeing nothing but herself in those arrogant words, she proudly responded in an even more arrogant tone, “Sure, let’s do that.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
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…
