Ah, that’s not something I sent. It’s just that my mom asked me to send you some food, so don’t feel too uncomfortable. I packed it very simply in case it might be inconvenient for you. I personally picked everything!
“No, it wasn’t simple. I’ll share it with my colleagues by filling up the lounge fridge. Thank you.”
Well, I sent it for you to eat alone. Well, whatever you want to do. Thanks to you that day, my mom laughed a lot after a long time. I’d like to buy you a meal next time we meet.
It was nice to hear that Cha Jae-hee’s mother laughed a lot.
He said she was his mother, and in reality, she turned out to be someone with a delicate and warm heart, which made it even more heartwarming.
“Thank you for treating me kindly. Please let her know that I had a good time without any inconvenience. If you ever want to have a meal, feel free to contact me, and I’ll make time for it.”
Okay. I’ll contact you.
“Yes.”
It was a day that somehow made her feel warm.
Early in the morning, as Woo-yeon, who had gotten up early, opened the newspaper, familiar names continued to catch her eye.
The day of the wedding between Choi In-young and Kim Min-jun. Articles congratulating the union of the two families were succinctly featured in various newspapers.
With an awkward expression, she stood up and headed to the swimming pool within the officetel complex.
Even after immersing herself in the cold water, she spent a long time recalling the contents of the article.
The article mentioned that many people would attend the wedding of the two on Friday evening at 7 o’clock, a fact that was not particularly special.
“Sigh…”
She was out of breath due to moving along the long lace twice.
The reason she liked swimming at this time was not only because there were no people, but also because the stillness of the water seemed to make all her worries disappear when she submerged her face.
Although her breath was reaching the tip of her chin, Woo-yeon struggled once again from end to end, swimming across.
When only the last touch remained, Woo-yeon could no longer hold back and emerged from the water.
As she tossed her goggles aside and struggled to catch her breath, Tae-kyung walked in as the swimming pool door opened.
It was the first time she had seen him here since the day they met once before.
It rained that day, but today it did not.
It was evening at that time, but today it was early in the morning.
He, who had been looking down at Woo-yeon from outside the water, bent his knees and sat down.
“I came just in case. Were you really here as expected?”
“Uh, ugh… yes?”
Her ears were clogged, so she couldn’t hear his voice well because of the stuffiness.
Woo-yeon tapped her ears to remove the water. Only then did the stuffiness disappear, and Tae-kyung’s voice sounded clear.
“Do you know how many times I called you?”
A call? At this hour?
Woo-yeon, with a look that seemed difficult to endure, bent her body and supported her hands between her two knees.
While doing so, she asked, “Haa… What’s… going on?”
“Nothing.”
“You, ugh… said something about a call. Several times… hoo.”
Tae-kyung laughed heartily.
Even though her breath was ragged, her persistence in responding to him from beginning to end was cute.
He slid down to where Woo-yeon was as if sliding down, bringing her along.
He lifted Woo-yeon’s body out of the pool in one go.
Normally, she would insist that she could do this herself, but this time she didn’t resist at all.
She just nestled against his chest, breathing thinly.
Tae-kyung even handed her a towel.
“I called because I missed you. Fortunately, I slept next door last night.”
Was that the only reason? Woo-yeon was annoyed, but she had no strength to resist.
“……Yes.”
“Answer my calls. I’ll call you again later.”
With a tired expression, he kissed Woo-yeon’s forehead.
It was like they were very old lovers.
Around the time Woo-yeon was looking for the cafe she enjoys for lunch, she received a call from Tae-kyung. When she asked where he was, he mentioned the location and said he would park his car in front of the cafe for a while. Before finishing a warm cup of coffee, a familiar black sedan appeared.
Woo-yeon organized her bag and stood up. As she got into the car, he unexpectedly leaned in.
“Can you spare 30 minutes for me?”
Tae-kyung asked, and Woo-yeon nodded. She didn’t mind seeing his face in the morning and at lunch. Thirty minutes wouldn’t interfere much with her work.
The car they were in had no specific destination. The manager at the wheel continued to drive around the broadcasting station area, just buying time.
Curious, Woo-yeon asked Tae-kyung, “Weren’t we supposed to go somewhere?”
“Do you think I’d go somewhere with just 30 minutes? Why? Do you think I’d spend more time with you? If you agree, I’ll adjust my schedule too.”
“No, that’s not what I meant…”
He tilted his head, touching his eyebrow. “Do you have plans in the evening? After the news, let’s grab dinner.”
“…”
Not only did he tilt his head, but he also leaned in so close that Woo-yeon tensed for a moment.
By the way, could it be that he plans to see me in the evening too? She felt a bit overwhelmed by the thought that this gentleman, who seemed busier than ever, would make time for her from morning to lunch and now dinner.
“Representative, by any chance…”
“By any chance?”
“Are you bored?”
Tae-kyung’s eyebrows half-crumpled.
As he leaned in closely, he stared at Woo-yeon’s blue T-shirt that revealed her white neck.
“Do you dislike it?”
“It’s not that I dislike it, but it’s strange. If you plan to see me in the evening, why bother meeting briefly at this time? Also, you came to the swimming pool so insistently this morning.”
“Is it strange? What’s strange about a man asking to see a woman as if he’s a nutcase missing a screw?”
“It’s strange. You usually don’t do this.”
Tae-kyung chuckled softly. Changing his expression, he swept his hair back with his large hand.
“I guess I’ve been caught.”
“What?”
“I wanted to check by the hour whether you were thinking about someone else or me all day.”
She laughed in surprise. “Representative, seriously?”
“What, seriously? Don’t let another man’s name slip from your lips in front of me. If I get annoyed, who knows what I might do.”
“Ridiculous.”
Could it be because Kim Min-jun is getting married today? Because it’s the wedding of the two? Is that why he’s been doing this?
Woo-yeon burst into laughter.
A romantic man who likes sunsets, Woo-yeon burst into laughter.
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…
