After leisurely finishing her work, Ina slowly got up when it was time to leave. Getting off the bus in front of Juwon’s apartment, Ina stopped by the mart and bought some fruits and snacks. Carrying a plastic bag, she arrived at the apartment’s shared entrance and took out the access card from her handbag. It was the card Juwon gave her last Sunday. Handing over the shared entrance access card, Juwon had said she could come anytime he wanted to see her, 24 hours a day. He mentioned that any time of the day was fine, even the dawn. When Ina asked about coming secretly at dawn, Juwon said it was fine even if she attacked him while he was sleeping. Remembering that conversation, Ina had widened her eyes and asked how he could say such things without changing his expression. Juwon had raised the corners of his mouth and said that he had never denied being a man filled with desire. Ina blushed at his words.
“I’ll try to finish work as quickly as possible. Still, it should be around 9 o’clock when I leave, so have dinner and maybe watch TV.”
“Yeah, got it.”
Leisurely completing her work, Ina slowly got up when it was time to leave. Getting off the bus in front of Juwon’s apartment, Ina stopped by the mart and bought some fruits and snacks. Carrying a plastic bag, she arrived at the apartment’s shared entrance and took out the access card from her handbag.
It was the card Juwon gave her last Sunday.
Handing over the shared entrance access card, Juwon had said,
“Feel free to come anytime you want, 24 hours a day, when you want to see me.”
Anytime during the day was fine, and he even mentioned that dawn was okay. When Ina asked about coming secretly at dawn, Juwon said it was fine even if she attacked him while he was sleeping. Remembering that conversation, Ina widened her eyes and asked how he could say such things without changing his expression. Juwon had raised the corners of his mouth and said that he had never denied being a man filled with desire. Ina blushed at his words.
Lost in thought about that day, Ina blushed again as she swiped the access card, taking it out of her handbag.
Once the door opened, Ina took the elevator to the 24th floor.
Checking her phone, it was already 7:20 PM.
Thinking that she should have a simple dinner and do the dishes afterward, Ina suddenly realized the elevator had arrived at the 24th floor.
It felt a bit strange to go alone to Juwon’s empty apartment, but with excitement like a new bride waiting for her husband, Ina got off the elevator.
And when she turned right to go to Juwon’s apartment, she saw her.
Minsuji leaning against Juwon’s apartment door.
Suji, who had been looking at the floor with a troubled expression, turned her head towards the footsteps.
The eyes of the two women met immediately.
“…….”
As Ina stared at Suji with a stiff expression, Suji also looked at Ina with a cold gaze as she detached herself from the door.
Ina blushed even more at their gaze meeting.
“Is this how it is…”
Approaching Suji, who was standing still, Ina opened her mouth first, but the words got stuck in her throat and didn’t come out.
“Juwon was waiting, but Ina is here?”
With a cool smile, Suji said.
Ina felt something in her heart welling up at that smile.
Approaching a bit more, Ina opened her mouth.
“I asked the wrong question. Why did you come here?”
With Ina’s raised voice, Suji looked straight at Ina and said in a chilly tone.
“Why did I come? To see Juwon, of course.”
With that confident statement, Ina, with a dumbfounded expression, looked at Suji, but suddenly, the door of the neighboring 2401 room opened, and a middle-aged woman came out.
Holding a cute Pomeranian in one hand, the woman, who had a surprised look on her face, looked at the two women in front of the 2402 room. The owner was surprised, and the Pomeranian in her arms started barking angrily.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
“Mary. Shh! No.”
The woman, subtly drawing attention to the dog, glanced at Ina and Suji with her eyes.
“Next door, there’s clearly a handsome bachelor named Namjin oppa living there, but why are there two women standing there?”
Looking at this side and that side, the woman, who was observing the two beautiful women with curious eyes, soon gracefully smiled and moved away.
After the woman left, silence lingered between the two.
After a while, Suji was the first to speak.
“Shall we, instead of this, have a cup of coffee?”
Ina stared intently at Suji’s face.
The words “Why would I have coffee with you?” almost reached her throat.
However, it felt uncomfortable and somewhat uneasy to send her away like this.
After Ina sighed briefly, she looked at Suji and said, “Let’s go downstairs. There’s a coffee shop on the first floor.”
The aroma of coffee subtly spread from the mug.
Ina silently watched Suji, who raised her coffee cup with one leg crossed.
Despite the current situation, the woman in front of her was still a remarkably attractive woman.
With a beautiful and sophisticated facial style, she wore clothes that accentuated her fantastic figure, a style that would make every man desire her, or rather, become an object of desire for all men.
Knowing that this woman had lingering feelings for Juwon, Ina continued to feel uncomfortable, but now she had even come to their home…
With the unpleasant feeling, her head began to throb.
Ina bit her tender flesh inside her mouth and asked Suji directly, “What brings you here to see Juwon?”
Drinking coffee, Suji leisurely lowered the cup and looked at Ina.
Then, with a smile, she unfolded her legs that she had crossed.
“Do you… know the most heard thing around when I was dating Juwon?”
“Why do I need to know that much?”
After Ina’s words, Suji chuckled and, as if saying it didn’t matter, opened her mouth.
“It was compliments like that. They said honey drops from my eyes when Juwon looks at me. Even if I see him, I want to see him more, and if he’s not in my sight, my heart aches. The fact that this man is my man made those days so happy and dreamlike.”
Ha… Ina couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
Why am I sitting here listening to this?
However, as if she didn’t know Ina’s feelings, Suji continued to speak.
“But… it seems the temperature of love toward each other was a bit different. I gave my 100%, but Juwon gave about 70%? The remaining 30% was a bit disappointing, so I tried to get his attention, got angry… and eventually, I got tired first and suggested breaking up.”
Ina firmly closed her lips at Juwon’s unwanted past relationship story.
As Suji reached for the coffee cup, her hand trembled subtly.
After taking a sip of coffee, Suji slowly put the cup down again.
“But now, thinking about it, the 70% I felt might have been 100% for Juwon, after all.”
Suji said, looking directly into Ina’s eyes.
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…
