At 7:30 PM, Gangnam Western Hotel Restaurant.
It was stated that the reservation was made under the name Min Taehee.
Taehee, who arrived 15 minutes earlier than the appointed time, pressed the bell at the entrance of the restaurant.
The manager came out and asked Taehee.
“Welcome. May I have the name of the reservation?”
“It’s Min Taehee.”
“Is the reservation for 7:30 for two people?”
“Yes.”
Guided by the waiter, the room they arrived at was a famous place with a view of the Han River.
Although it wasn’t the same room, Taehee had been here before.
He had received a free meal voucher and had eaten course meals with Sajun.
The waiter who knocked and entered poured lemon water into a transparent glass.
Taehee, gazing at the clear water for a moment, asked the waiter.
“Does this restaurant also give out free meal vouchers?”
“We do sell special course meal vouchers targeting special occasions, but we have never had free meal vouchers since we opened.”
After the waiter left, Taehee felt her head getting dizzy.
‘I got a free meal voucher, so let’s go eat.’
Whenever Sajun took her to an expensive restaurant, a phrase he used to say like a habit echoed vividly in her mind.
At least once a month, Taehee and Sajun enjoyed meals like that.
No, I enjoyed delicious meals alone.
Sajun never touched the food and just watched Taehee with a pleased expression as she ate.
Could it be that the excuse of a free meal voucher was just a way to feed me comfortably? If that’s really the case, then why?
“Why did you do that to me?”
Once curiosity arose, memories flowed backward in her mind like a chain of tails.
Sajun took Taehee to this restaurant under the pretense of a free meal voucher seven years ago.
To be more precise, it was about a month after breaking up with Jaehyun.
Despite always appearing playful, cold, and tough, Taehee was also a person.
She had a heart and was an ordinary person who knew how to be sad and hurt by the pain of parting and betrayal.
In front of Jaehyun, she coolly and calmly sent him away, but the mental state after parting and the pain of betrayal were in complete chaos.
During that time, when Taehee didn’t even come out of her cramped one-room apartment on weekends, Sajun came and unexpectedly said,
“A free meal voucher came up. It’s for a high-end restaurant you like. Are you going to say yes or no?” Just like always, indifferent and casual.
When Taehee said she wasn’t going, Sajun muttered as if to say, “Listen.”
‘79,000 won for one person, I guess I’ll just throw it away.’
With that one remark, Taehee silently put on her clothes and followed Sajun to the restaurant.
It was a restaurant converted from a peaceful Korean house, privately operated, and the food was truly tear-inducingly delicious.
It was impossible for such a place to share free meal vouchers, and she didn’t doubt it.
At that time, her mental state was not good enough to pay attention to trivial things.
Above all, Sajun couldn’t have told such a lie for me.
You, who detest free things horribly, wouldn’t accept a free meal voucher like that.
Now that I think about it, everything was so strange, but at that time, I really had no idea.

Inside the elevator.
Yongjin looked at his phone and burst into laughter again, alone and without reason.
“Chairman, fighting.”
Until now, I had never heard anyone say the word “fighting” to anyone.
Not to his wife Yeonhwa, not to his daughter Yehee.
Even employees who handed out such words confidently due to their high positions were nonexistent.
But now, he said it to Mintaehee, his son’s long-time friend and now lover.
In fact, he couldn’t know himself. Was this because it was ridiculous, or because he felt good?
“Hehe.”
Quickly erasing the laughter, Yongjin cleared his throat.
As he rarely laughed alone, the secretary department head was looking at me with curious eyes.
When we arrived at the restaurant, the head of the secretary said,
“I will wait in the car.”
“It will take about an hour, so Kim, the secretary, and Jang, the driver, have dinner and come.”
“Understood.”
Guided by the waiter, when we entered the room, Taehee, who had come first, stood up from her seat.
“You’re here, Chairman.”
“Sit down.”
After the waiter left, Yongjin calmly spoke.
“Originally, this was a dinner appointment with my wife. But I was rejected.”
At the unexpected words, Taehee looked at Yongjin with wide eyes.
“We’ve been married for 40 years, and this is the second cold war. The first was when Sajun’s birth mother appeared with the baby in her arms. And the second was last week. I sternly warned my wife not to interfere with Sajun and not to go see him.”
“Sajun and I, both of us. We endured enough and waited enough.”
He ended his words like a sigh.
Listening quietly, Taehee calmly opened her mouth.
“The Chairman’s couple fights twice because of Sajun. However, it’s not that Sajun did anything wrong.”
“…”
“The world seems unfair. Adults always make mistakes, and the damage always comes back to the children.”
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…
