So all of this happened because of an unintended deviation Ye Rin committed three months ago.
That day, after the charity event of the eco-friendly fashion brand Cheto ended, an after-party was being held on the rooftop of KK Hotel.
Ye Rin entrusted her body to her friend Na Ri’s hands in a corner of the hotel.
“Ye Rin, this glamorous makeup suits you so well?”
“Na Ri, I’m not in the mood for this here.”
“What’s with you? How is moping at home any different?”
Na Ri started applying makeup to Ye Rin’s already pretty face, moving her hands quickly.
With her eyes closed, nonsensical scenes kept flickering in her mind.
It had happened countless times, too many to count, but that didn’t mean it was okay at all.
“Han Ye Rin, don’t even think about that bastard and that woman today.”
“Okay.”
The reason for dressing up so ostentatiously here today was just one.
She had her boyfriend stolen again by a friend who was once her best friend.
It wasn’t the first time so it wasn’t surprising, but it felt terrible.
As always, why do bad premonitions come true so well?
Ye Rin closed her eyes tightly, remembering the day she went to his house to meet her boyfriend, feeling that his heart was gradually changing.
On his bed, two familiar people were entangled.
It was such a shocking scene even to think about again.
“But why is Kwak Seo Yun so desperate to steal your man, Ye Rin?”
“Who knows. How would I know what’s in her mind?”
Ye Rin chuckled.
It was just too ridiculous.
Seo Yun, Ye Rin, and Na Ri, who graduated from the same high school, used to be quite close.
But at some point, when Seo Yun started coveting Ye Rin’s man, their relationship became irreparable.
“The guy who falls for seduction and Kwak Seo Yun who openly flirts. Ugh.”
Na Ri shook her head.
“I never liked your ex-boyfriend anyway. So forget everything and catch a proper guy here today to enjoy. Got it?”
“Na Ri, I just came to see you.”
Na Ri had called several times saying she couldn’t leave her alone miserably, so Ye Rin came to the party, but she had no desire to go out to the noisy place and let loose.
She wasn’t in the mood either.
“I don’t have time to play with you?”
Ye Rin pouted her lips.
She knew all too well that Na Ri was saying this for her sake.
“What does it matter? You won’t see the guy you meet here again anyway. It’s perfect for a deviation.”
“That won’t happen, CEO Kim Na Ri.”
“Why not? The men here are all incredibly important people with guaranteed backgrounds.”
That was true.
Na Ri was the CEO of the eco-friendly fashion brand Cheto, and today’s event was hosted by her.
All the notable figures from politics and business circles had attended, and it was a space where no one could set foot without an invitation.
Na Ri attached voluminous fake eyelashes to Ye Rin’s eyes, but still looked unsatisfied as if something was lacking.
“Ah, there it is.”
Na Ri brought a blonde wig that was well-placed on one side and smiled brightly.
Ye Rin made a face as if to say, ‘You can’t be serious.’
“Na Ri, you’re not telling me to wear that too, are you?”
“That’s right?”
Na Ri tied Ye Rin’s long hair into one and put it into a net.
Then she put the blonde wig on Ye Rin’s head.
“Wow.”
Na Ri clapped her hands as if satisfied.
Ye Rin made an awkward expression as she saw her face in the mirror.
“Na Ri, I’ll go out without this.”
“No, it suits you so well right now.”
Na Ri said it was perfect and lifted Ye Rin from her seat.
The black dress that clung tightly to her body emphasized Ye Rin’s voluptuous figure even more.
“The skirt seems too short too.”
Na Ri firmly held Ye Rin’s hand as she kept objecting.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to enjoy a proper deviation? It’s perfect now.”
Na Ri had a resolute face like someone sending Ye Rin out to the battlefield.
“Ye Rin, when you go out now, make sure to talk to the first man you see.”
“Okay.”
At this time, Ye Rin didn’t know.
How much of an aftermath this promise would bring.
[This is the timeline separator]Ye Rin slowly made her way to the rooftop where the party was being held, with half excited feelings and half worried feelings.
The heels were much higher than her usual shoes, making her unsteady as if she might fall.
Having promised to speak to the first man she made eye contact with, but lacking courage, Ye Rin headed for a corner while looking only at the floor.
“Ah.”
Because she wasn’t properly looking around as she walked, Ye Rin bumped into a man approaching her.
“I’m sorry.”
She apologized and belatedly raised her head to check the other person’s face.
“…”
It was someone too familiar.
Ye Rin covered her mouth with one hand and took a step back.
“Oh?”
There must have been a groove between the wooden decks.
Her high heel got stuck and wouldn’t come out, making her stumble backward.
‘I’m crazy. If the wig comes off as I fall, he’ll recognize who I am…’
Thinking that, Ye Rin firmly grasped the wig with one hand.
As her body slowly tilted and she thought she was about to fall ungracefully.
In an instant, a nimble hand came in and wrapped around Ye Rin’s waist.
A strong woody scent entered her nostrils.
‘No way…’
Ye Rin slowly opened her eyes that she had tightly shut in fear.
As expected, that man was holding Ye Rin’s waist.
“Are you alright?”
“Ah, yes.”
With the man’s help, she barely managed to stand upright.
As if his business was done, the man disappeared into the distance with his companions.
“Ah, I shouldn’t have come here.”
Ye Rin covered her face with the clutch bag she was holding in one hand as she headed for a corner.
“He didn’t recognize who I was, right?”
Her heart had been beating irregularly since earlier.
It was partly because of meeting an unexpected man here, and partly because of the situation just now when she almost fell.
Ye Rin picked up a nearby champagne and downed it in one gulp.
“I’ll just have one more drink and leave.”
Thinking that, as she was about to look for the waiter’s position.
Ye Rin felt a hot gaze on her face and slowly turned her head.
“…”
Her gaze briefly tangled in the air with that man who had prevented Ye Rin from falling earlier.
Ye Rin hastily averted her gaze.
“Ah, our eyes met again.”
Although she fixed her gaze on the table, the man was still staring at Ye Rin.
‘Why is he staring at me like that?’
After chewing on her lips unknowingly, Ye Rin unconsciously slowly raised her head again as if entranced.
Fortunately, the man had withdrawn his gaze from Ye Rin.
As always, the man was boasting a dazzlingly handsome figure today as well.
Although there were many people around, he shone as if monopolizing the lighting of this place alone.
From his hair neatly styled with pomade, to his sharp facial features, to his shoulders as wide as the Pacific Ocean.
He was a man lacking nothing.
The man was buried in a large crowd due to people approaching to exchange even one more word with him.
Sipping champagne, Ye Rin kept glancing at the man’s table.
At that moment.
An extravagantly dressed woman walked over and stopped at that man’s table.
“Elder brother, have you been well?”
“Yeah.”
The man brusquely shook off the woman’s arm that was clinging to him saying it was nice to see him.
Yet the woman kept talking to that man as if something was so good.
“Elder brother, I heard you don’t have a girlfriend. How about spending time with me today?”
“I have a woman.”
“What? You’re saying you have a woman you’re seeing?”
“Yeah.”
Ye Rin inwardly marveled.
‘Well, it doesn’t make sense for someone with that face not to be dating.’
As she was thinking that and lifting her champagne glass.
Her gaze tangled with the man’s again.
‘Ah, he caught me peeking.’
Feeling awkward for no reason, Ye Rin lowered her head.
As she was about to leave this place.
The sound of footsteps was heard, and then well-polished shoe tips stopped in front of Ye Rin’s table.
Ye Rin slowly raised her head.
“…”
It was the man whose eyes she had met earlier.
His breathtakingly handsome appearance was all too familiar.
Ye Rin awkwardly smiled and tried to leave after greeting him with her eyes.
At that moment, the man’s pleasant baritone voice caught her ankle.
“Did you wait long?”
“Pardon?”
Wait?
For you?
She wanted to ask that, but couldn’t because of the woman staring fiercely from behind the man.
“I missed you too.”
‘Huh? What is he saying?’
The conversation wasn’t flowing at all.
The man came closer and bent down.
And whispered softly in Ye Rin’s ear.
“You’ve been observing me since earlier.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m not trying to reprimand you for that.”
“Then…”
The man tilted his head slightly and gazed at Ye Rin as if amused.
That gaze was so intense.
It felt like he was seeing through her inner thoughts.
“Could you pretend to be my girlfriend for a moment?”
“What?”
“I saved you from falling earlier. Now I’d like you to help me.”
And without warning, the man wrapped one arm around Ye Rin’s waist and held her to his chest.
Ye Rin’s eyes widened noticeably.
The man whispered in a pleasant low voice into Ye Rin’s ear.
“Could you pretend to be an affectionate couple?”
“All of a sudden?”
The man turned his body completely towards Ye Rin.
He put on an affectionate gaze that could melt the person in front of him, then slowly stroked Ye Rin’s hair.
‘Oh no, what if the wig comes off?’
Ye Rin tensed up, worried that the wig Na Ri had put on her might come off.
“What shall we do tomorrow?”
“…”
“Let’s go where you said you wanted to go. I’ll make time.”
As Ye Rin remained stiff, the man came close as if about to kiss her and mouthed quietly.
‘Can’t you at least nod?’
With no choice, Ye Rin awkwardly nodded.
The woman who had been glaring at them from afar expressed all her annoyance and disappeared from their sight.
The man immediately loosened his grip on Ye Rin’s waist.
“Thank you for your help.”
Ye Rin just smiled, not knowing what to say.
“But why did you try to run away as soon as our eyes met? Like a woman hiding something.”
