Eun Chae finally managed to calm down the furious Hyunju.
Once Hyunju’s anger subsided, she looked at Eun Chae with twinkling eyes.
“But how did you come up with such an ingenious idea? Saying you and Kwon Ki Joo dated 10 years ago and then met again by fate… How did you think of that spontaneously?”
“I don’t know. It just came out when he kept pressing about how long we’ve known each other.”
“Wow, for a spontaneous idea, it’s quite plausible. And Kwon Ki Joo went along with it?”
“…Yeah. So I felt a bit guilty and embarrassed.”
“And when Park Jung Hoon didn’t leave, Kwon Ki Joo stayed at your place?”
“Well, that was an unavoidable situation…”
“Okay, that’s one thing, but I find it somewhat odd.”
“What is?”
“I mean, you two weren’t that close as kids, and you said he was prickly. But now, he’s worried about you, driving you home from work for a week, playing along with the 10-year love story, and even involving his lawyer cousin to help.”
“Yeah, I’m really grateful for all that.”
“But… it’s just that something feels a bit…”
Hyunju paused, lost in thought, then spoke.
“Is he… maybe feeling something for you?”
“What?”
Eun Chae narrowed her brows and looked at Hyunju.
“No, I mean, the last time you both saw each other was in ninth grade. You were kids then, but now as adults, maybe he’s developed a liking for you as a woman.”
“Ugh, stop talking nonsense.”
“Why is it nonsense? Even that jerk Park Jung Hoon started hitting on you right after seeing you at the blind date. Kwon Ki Joo is also a guy; couldn’t he have developed a liking for you?”
“Ugh, no, definitely not. It’s nothing like that, so stop saying weird things.”
“Well… if he really does have feelings for you… that might be a bit troublesome.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I couldn’t tell you over the phone, but in Yeosu, Siwoo kept asking about you. He wasn’t even close to you, right? But when he heard you live in Seoul, he seemed really glad. Looking at his reaction, I wondered… did he like you back then? Plus, Siwoo is single now. Single.”
“Hey, Park Hyunju. Are you already starting to match me with others because I’m single?”
“No, that’s not what I mean… Just think about it. Siwoo said…”
Hyunju was about to launch into another speech when her phone rang. It was Siwoo.
“Oh? Siwoo’s calling. Hold on.”
Hyunju brought the phone to her ear.
“Hello? Oh, Siwoo. We’re already here. Where? Room 6. Okay. Hurry up.”
Eun Chae, feeling a bit apprehensive, warned Hyunju.
“Park Hyunju. You better not say anything weird to Siwoo later. Got it?”
“Weird like what?”
“Like talking about Park Jung Hoon or Kwon Ki Joo, or the love story you’re making up.”
Hyunju chuckled but then nodded understandingly at Eun Chae’s stern expression.
“Got it, so don’t worry. But you should arrange to meet with this Kwon Ki Joo guy. I want to meet him.”
“What? Why you?”
As Eun Chae spoke, a knock sounded at the door.
Both turned their heads toward the door, and soon it opened.
A tall Siwoo, wearing a grey checkered jacket, stood at the door.
Eun Chae, seated opposite the door, and Siwoo, standing outside, locked eyes.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still as Siwoo’s gaze softly landed on Eun Chae.
Then, a gentle smile appeared on Siwoo’s lips.
Seeing the smile, Eun Chae also smiled slightly, feeling a surge of joy.
“Hey, Siwoo. Come on in.”
Hyunju greeted him with a bright smile. Only then did Siwoo shift his gaze to Hyunju.
Back to reality, Siwoo smiled back and sat opposite Eun Chae.
Siwoo extended his hand, looking straight at Eun Chae.
“Hello, Eun Chae? Long time no see.”
Siwoo, with his bright brown dandy perm, spoke with a radiant smile.
For a moment, Eun Chae felt an overlap between the high school student Siwoo, smiling in his uniform, and the adult Siwoo before her now.
His eyes, curved like crescent moons when he smiled, were still as gentle as a puppy’s.
Eun Chae took Siwoo’s hand.
“Yeah. It has been a long time. It’s good to see you.”
Siwoo’s large hand enveloped Eun Chae’s small, pale one.
“You were pretty back then, but you’re still pretty now.”
Caught off guard by Siwoo’s direct compliment, Eun Chae’s eyes widened.
Hyunju then teasingly wagged her eyebrows at Eun Chae, flashing a sly smile.
Then she playfully said to Siwoo, “Hey, Kim Siwoo. You didn’t say she got prettier when you saw her in Yeosu the other day. Are you discriminating now?”
At Hyunju’s remark, Siwoo released Eun Chae’s hand and smiled broadly.
“Oh? Didn’t I mention it? But Hyunju, I thought you knew even without me saying.”
“Oh my, look at you? You’ve become quite the smooth talker since we last met.”
“Have I? Hahaha.”
Siwoo laughed, his laughter as refreshing as a cool beverage.

“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?”
