Why is it that uneasy premonitions never fail?

Upon seeing Seo Rin walking in through the open door, I froze in place.

“Chef, has the class ended?”

“Yes. Please come in.”

Seo Rin was speaking softly to him when she seemed to spot me from afar, her eyes narrowing.

Her surprised expression was fleeting as she curled the corners of her lips upward as she got closer.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here?”

Seo Rin managed to feign a friendly smile and initiated a conversation.

“……Ha.”

“Chef, it seems I left something behind.”

She scanned me with a mocking gaze before turning her head towards the chef.

The chef, too, seemed quite friendly as he looked at Seo Rin.

“I thought so. Seo Rin, you left something. Here’s the ring.”

He pointed to the tray on the table towards the approaching Seo Rin.

“I’m so relieved! It was here.”

Whether the ring in question was indeed Seo Rin’s, she reacted excessively.

As Seo Rin reached out and picked it up, the ring sparkled even more under the light.

“It’s a ring that’s one of a kind in the world.”

Ji Han’s voice, saying it was a oneofakind piece by a famous designer, was clear.

The man who had promised to become my family and had slipped the ring on my ring finger had given the same ring to Seo Rin.

‘What the……, this is insane.’

I snapped back to reality at the sound of Seo Rin’s smug voice.

“Really, I’m so relieved. I thought I had lost the ring my brother gave me.”

Seo Rin exhaled a sigh of relief and picked up the ring from the tray and put it on her ring finger.

From the start, the ring seemed to fit perfectly as if it had been custommade for her.

How could he think of giving the same wedding ring….

My head hurt, and I held my forehead.

Because I saw my past self, who was happily ignorant, overlaid on Seo Rin’s figure.

“The ring is so pretty. Thank you, Ji Han.”

“I might not be a loving husband, but I’m now your family. Rely on me.”

And he gave Seo Rin the same ring. Even the wedding ring that was meant for me.

It was a clear deception towards me.

“What about the groomtobe who came with you?”

“He’s in the car. I realized I lost the ring in the parking lot.”

Seo Rin’s voice gradually brought me back to my senses.

It was strange because Ji Han, as I knew him, was not a man who would take time out for such a class.

“The groomtobe said he could get a new one, but that would make me feel so uncomfortable.”

“That’s right. It’s a relief you found it.”

Seo Rin, who was conversing with the chef, faced me with a triumphant expression.

Her intentions were clear in her gaze, which looked at me unflinchingly.

‘She did it on purpose.’

I didn’t know how she found out about this class, but it seemed like she had left the ring on purpose.

Then, Jae Ha, who had left his seat, returned.

He seemed to have noticed the unusual tension between Seo Rin and me.

“Chef, we should get going.”

At Jae Ha’s words, the chef nodded and smiled lightly.

“Yes. You worked hard today. Anchor Yoon, you too.”

“You also worked hard, chef.”

I quickly exchanged greetings with him as I gathered my things.

“Chef, I think I should go now too.”

Seo Rin glanced at me as if I was about to leave with Jae Ha.

And then, as if she was finished with her work in the studio, she said goodbye to the chef.

“Yes, Seo Rin, please be careful on your way back.”

“I’ll see you in the regular class.”

With that, Seo Rin turned around and passed by us, who were standing at the door, with a sneer.

I softly called out to her, looking at her back as she walked ahead.

“Seo Rin.”

And at the sound of my voice, Seo Rin turned around.

“…?”

I approached her, who had been walking in front of Jae Ha and me.

My silent grabbing of Seo Rin’s hand distorted her formerly arrogant expression.

“What, what are you doing?”

“I was just checking if the ring was a fake.”

I hadn’t initially thought it was a fake. I said this while looking at the ring that perfectly fit her thin, pale finger.

Seo Rin’s brows furrowed deeply, perhaps offended by my mention of it being a fake.

“Ha. This is something my brother gave me. There’s no way it’s fake…”

“Do you know that ring is the wedding ring Ji Han gave me?”

I had never shown the ring I received from Ji Han to anyone else.

Seo Rin, who had audaciously shown me the ring, was silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

‘Laughing?’

“Did you think I didn’t know that?”

Seo Rin, who met my gaze slightly, wore a sly smile.

I thought Seo Rin, who knew nothing, had received the ring and was happy.

But seeing her laughing in front of me now, I felt like there was something I didn’t know.

Without realizing it, I squinted my eyes, trying to decipher the intent hidden behind her smile.

Seo Rin’s lips, which had been showing an inscrutable smile, slowly dropped.

“Of course, I knew that it was the same as the wedding ring you received.”

I looked at Seo Rin as she continued to speak with a confident expression.

“Because I was the one who chose the ring.”
