Ina felt embarrassed by the situation, thinking about the disgrace of showing such a scene to Joo Won, her friend’s twin brother whom she hadn’t seen in 13 years.
“Don’t think too much about it. That guy was just trash,” Joo Won bluntly stated as if reading her thoughts, and Ina looked at him in surprise.
After disposing of the cotton swab, Joo Won handed her the ointment and another swab.
“It won’t scar, but make sure to apply the ointment until it heals.”
As she took the ointment and cup of water Joo Won offered, Ina glanced at him subtly.
Did he always have this gentle side?
As Ina was trying to recall her memories from 13 years ago, Joo Won continued, “When I saw you in front of the bar, I felt you looked familiar. Then, seeing that guy dragging you away… I should have recognized you sooner.”
Ina looked at Joo Won with a mix of surprise and contemplation as the server arrived with the soju and fish cake soup.
Joo Won silently opened the soju bottle, poured a shot for Ina and one for himself.
Raising his glass, Joo Won looked at Ina, who lifted her glass in response.
As they both drank, the taste of the soju felt unusually bitter, mirroring Ina’s current mood.
“I won’t ask why you dated that guy; it’ll only make you feel worse. You’re not going to see him again, right?”
When Joo Won asked her the question, Ina nodded firmly.
“Yes, of course.”
Joo Won poured more soju into Ina’s glass and said, “But that guy, he doesn’t seem like he’ll let go easily, does he?”
Ina silently stared at her soju glass, then took a sip and put it down.
“I already ended it today. If he contacts or looks for me, I will really report him to the police.”
Joo Won then extended his phone to Ina.
Confused, Ina looked at it, and Joo Won simply said, “Number.”
“Ah, the number.”
Ina keyed in her number, and Joo Won called it, causing her phone to ring. He saved her number, and Ina quickly saved his in her phone as well.
“Where do you work? What time do you usually get off?”
“Me? Near Yeoksam Station, around 6:30 p.m. Why?”
“I’m near Samsung Station.”
“Oh, really?”
Ina looked at Joo Won in surprise.
“It’s unbelievable… living so close and never seeing each other even once?”
“He knows your home, right?”
“Yeah, he knows. But he’s never been inside.”
Surprised, Joo Won looked at Ina.
“Why?”
“I thought he might not have been inside your home, considering how obsessive he seemed.”
Ina’s mind flashed through the past events. When they had been dating for a month, Jung Hoon wanted to visit her home, but she politely refused, saying she’d invite him if they were to get married.
Although he insisted, Ina’s firm stance made him give up. But that marked the beginning of his obsessive behavior, suspecting other men in her home.
“But if you block him, he’ll probably wait for you at your home or office, creating a scene with either tears or threats.”
Ina’s expression darkened as she gazed at her soju glass. She was worried about how Jung Hoon might react tomorrow, but she didn’t want to show it in front of Joo Won.
However, as Joo Won mentioned, Jung Hoon was capable of such actions. He had left today, shocked by her declaration of breakup, but would likely call and show up at her place tomorrow.
“If he doesn’t find you at home, he’ll definitely come to your office.”
Fearing the potential scenes at her office, she felt a headache coming on.
“I’ll drop you off for a week. Wait for me outside your office. Send me the location.”
“Wait, what?”
Confused, Ina blinked at Joo Won.
“I’ll drop you off at your home for a week. Where do you live?”
“Uh… what?”
Her loud response drew the attention of people at the next table. Embarrassed, Ina quickly covered her mouth and apologized.
Watching her, Joo Won poured more soju into his glass.
“Joo Won.”
Ina whispered, her head bowed down.
“Why would you drop me off? I’m already embarrassed enough for showing you all that.”
“Don’t be embarrassed. The one who should be ashamed is that guy who resorts to violence against a woman.”
“But how can I drag you into this mess?”
“I’m already involved, so it’s okay. You can’t handle this alone. If I hadn’t been there earlier, he would have continued dragging you away.”
Ina bit the inside of her cheek and lowered her head at his words.
“Don’t overthink it. He might wait for you after work and cause trouble, so for about a week, I’ll drop you off at home. If nothing happens, that’s good.”
Ina looked up at Joo Won, feeling both embarrassed and grateful.
“If Juhee was in your situation… wouldn’t you have done the same for her?”
Joo Won’s serious question made Ina’s eyes widen.
Juhee? If Juhee, someone like a twin soul to her, was in the same situation, Ina would chase down the perpetrator to the ends of the earth.
Joo Won’s apt analogy made Ina deeply ponder the situation.
Finally, with a resolute look, Ina raised her head and looked at Joo Won.
“Joo Won, thank you for offering to help. Then… I’ll shamelessly accept your kindness. Really, thank you.”
Joo Won responded with a smile instead of words.
