The agreed time to meet Taekyung was 6 p.m. Having gone on a business trip throughout Europe, he had arrived in Chicago last night, as he conveyed through a message.
Inside the airport cafe, Woo-yeon tasted the rich flavor of the coffee filled in the tumbler.
She wondered how Taekyung spent the day alone near Chicago. Probably, he would spend the day reminiscing about his childhood, leaving behind Cha Yoon-hwa and Cha Jae-hee.
Although the thought weighed heavily on her heart, she knew that Taeyeon would easily brush it off and maintain a composed expression. So, she decided to deceive herself anytime and be there for him.
Because your sadness, when embraced by me along with the sunset, will be over.
Just before boarding the plane, she received a congratulatory call from Reporter Yeom.
“Yes.”
You’re coming back next month? I heard from Director Song just now.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance.”
It’s okay. It’s top-secret anyway. Director Song said you’re a hidden card for our UBC newsroom’s reorganization?

“You’re exaggerating.”
You’ll bring back the dropped ratings. I have a lot I want to do when Yun Anchor returns. Be prepared. I’ll give you a hard time.
“I’ll be prepared.”
Good! I’ll call you again.
“Yes.”
The announcement that the plane to New York was departing soon flowed through. She picked up her carry-on and stood up, but someone pretended to know her.
“Yoon Woo-yeon?”
“…….”
“Oh, it is you!”
It wasn’t difficult to figure out who she was, but she couldn’t remember her name. Seventeen, a friend who went shopping together to choose a gift from her boyfriend.

What was her name? As she extended her hand almost like a lie, her name flashed in her mind.
“Eun-joo. Jung Eun-joo, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right! Wow, it’s good to see you. I’ve seen you on TV occasionally since you became an announcer. The kids were going crazy saying they wanted to see you at the alumni meeting. Nobody knows your contact information. I don’t either.”
Eun-joo, who seemed disappointed, had a full belly.
Woo-yeon smiled and looked at her belly. When Woo-yeon grinned, Eun-joo closed her eyes and laughed heartily.
“I came out a lot, right? They’re twins. I got married two years ago. I’m expecting next month.”
“Congratulations, both on your marriage and the baby.”
“Yeah, thanks. Will you meet a good person and get married too?”
“…….”
There was a brief awkward silence between them. Eun-joo, who had occasionally watched Woo-yeon through TV, quickly had tears welling up in her eyes.

“…… Woo-yeon.”
“Yeah?”
Eun-joo also knew that rumors about Woo-yeon’s family history had spread through various internet communities as gossip.
She had also heard through the news that the person murdered by a recent shooting was Woo-yeon’s mother.
After becoming a parent herself, and now, after sifting through old memories, Eun-joo finally understood how sensitive and fragile Woo-yeon had always been.
At that moment, she realized how difficult and painful it must have been for Yoon Woo-yeon back then, and now, as she approached thirty, she understood everything one by one.
Eun-joo shed tears.
“I didn’t know. I didn’t know you had that kind of pain. I’m sorry. Even though I was close to you all the time, it seems I never really considered your circumstances.”
Woo-yeon smiled faintly.
“It was better that way back then.”
“Huh?”

“No one knowing.”
“…….”
“You were too young.”
“Is it, okay?”
“Yeah. Everything is fine now. You don’t have to worry.”
Seeing Woo-yeon’s relaxed smile, Eun-joo held back her tears.
“Oh, sorry for crying so suddenly when we’ve met after a long time. I’m pregnant, so my hormones are messed up. Understand?”
“Yeah.”
“Hey, I’ve kept you for too long, and you’re busy. I’m sorry for that too.”
“There’s a lot to be sorry for.”

“Indeed. Anyway, it was so nice to see you! I’ve told my husband several times that we were close in the past, but he never believed me. Oh my, I’ve talked too much again. You must be busy, so go ahead.”
“Sure.”
Eun-joo, as if feeling that she was bothering Woo-yeon, pushed her back with a continuously apologetic expression.
Turning around coolly, Woo-yeon pulled her suitcase. Honestly, the memories of that time were not so vivid, to the extent that it would be difficult to recall Eun-joo’s name easily.
It was the most miserable period of her life, full of memories she wanted to forget, and the most unhappy moment of her life, so she deliberately tried to forget and live.
She lived intensely every day, thinking that giving and receiving love made a person the weakest in the world.
But now, she seemed to understand.
Making room in one’s heart for someone else wasn’t a sign of weakness; it was a sign of becoming stronger.
So, she decided to abandon the firm promise she made not to love anyone in the world.
At this very moment, someone is already deeply loved, and that love seems unchanging even in the distant future.

Even the face of a woman who fell into such a common misconception seems so good now.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
