Why on earth……
For a moment, Seo Yeon, who was caught off guard, walked forward, looking only ahead with the idea that she should never run into him.
How long had she walked?
That scent that had undoubtedly flown with the wind had whirled around her nose, feeling close.
Was her nose now broken?
As Seo Yeon lifted her head because something felt strange, a voice full of pleasure came from her left ear.
“Miss Seo Yeon? Miss Seo Yeon… right?”
Oh no. She did not want to meet him like this.
Seo Yeon adjusted the cap of her hat to completely cover her eyebrows and hide her face.
“I was doubtful if you were the person who resembled her, but you are really Miss Seo Yeon.”
His bangs were glistening moistly in the sunlight as if he had just finished exercising.
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
Seo Yeon, while offering an awkward greeting, resented him, who was entirely innocent.
Why today out of all days?
There were days when she was as attractive as Catwoman, days when she was cute like a college student, and days when she was cool like an athlete. Why, why, why!
Why had he appeared on the day when, after messing around for two weeks, she was exhausted and the resolve had faded. Just like these wornout grey sweatpants with protruding knees.
Kwon Yool was struggling to face Seo Yeon, who was hiding under her hat, by almost bending his large upper body.
The moment she met his deep gaze, her heart pounded as if she had just finished running a race.
“Have you been well during this time?”
She wanted to say ‘no’ to his question.
Did he know how hard the last two weeks had been, struggling without anyone asking? She wanted to ask at what time exactly does one exercise.
However, Seo Yeon mumbled a customary phrase while hiding her tangled emotions.
“Ah. Yes. And you, Yool?”
He conveyed his recent news in a simple manner, maintaining his polite tone and impressive voice.
Listening to his news which she was curious about, Seo Yeon felt pleased but also uncomfortable for feeling pleased.
“It’s been two weeks. Since we parted in the parking lot.”
Us? Could Han Seo Yeon and Kwon Yool be in a relationship that could be tied under the name ‘us’?
“Is that so?”
Seo Yeon feigned ignorance.
Seeing Seo Yeon’s cold attitude, Kwon Yool seemed at a loss, unable to keep his hands still.
Still, he seemed to want to keep the conversation going, so he tried hard to engage her.
“Did you go to the exhibition?”
“Not yet. I’ve been busy.”
The truth was that Seo Yeon was busy trying to run into Kwon Yool.
“That’s until next week.”
“I’ll be able to go within that time. Whatever.”
Seo Yeon avoided his gaze. Not because she hadn’t washed her face before coming out, but because she felt she would falter under his tender gaze.
“I told you before. I exercise in the park every day.”
Yes. Because I remembered what he said, I was unnecessarily busy.
“Ah. Yes. What time do you usually do it?”
Seo Yeon was curious. At what time he exercised.
“On weekdays, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7 a.m., Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. And on weekends at 12 noon.”
Ha. Not knowing that, I waited at odd times. Was there a chance we would meet?
As the wasted time passed by like a carousel, I felt bitter. However, my oblivious heart kept thumping excitedly at the thought of seeing him.
This could be known just by seeing Seo Yeon standing in the middle of the street, listening to his story.
“I also like it. Especially……”
What… What? Likes? Perhaps?
“The Mont Blanc here is the most delicious. Have you tried it?”
Kwon Yool pointed at the bag of bread nestled in Seo Yeon’s arms and asked.
Ha. Of course.
Seo Yeon sighed deeply as her shallow expectations about him were dashed. She decided to stop wasting her emotions on this dirty, cheap nonsense.
“Ah. Yes. I will try it if I have a chance. Bye!”
Seo Yeon was about to turn around coldly from Kwon Yool.
She wanted to show her resolute intention not to see him again after this meeting. Truly as cold as ice. She wanted to turn around like that.
But either her willpower was too strong, or her strength was too strong.
The moment Seo Yeon gripped the disposable coffee cup, with a ‘puck’ sound, the lid flew off and the iced Americano exploded and poured out.
Damn it. This is crazy. What an idiot. What is this!
The brown coffee and ice made a dizzying stream down her grey tracksuit.
“Miss Seo Yeon, are you alright?”
No. It seems I’ve reached my limit.
I can’t live with such humiliation today. Don’t see me ever again.
Seo Yeon clenched her teeth tightly and slightly closed her eyes.
Then Kwon Yool looked around quickly and said.
“Just wait. Don’t go anywhere, stay here.”
He rushed into the coffee shop next door.
Seo Yeon, with clenched teeth, picked up the coffee lid that had flown off and kicked away the ice rolling on the floor with her foot.
“I’ll clean it up.”
The bigfooted man came rushing over and with a sweep, the debris disappeared without a trace.
“Here. Wipe with this. I didn’t have a handkerchief because I was going to work out, so I asked the coffee shop for it.”
The rough texture of the yellow napkin touched the back of Seo Yeon’s hand. Of course, his warm touch was showing its presence behind that thin paper.
“Thank you. I seem to be careless again.”
It was the second time.
The first time we met, she spilled sparkling water, and now it was coffee. Sigh…
“No, it’s fine. Here, take this. Use it if you need it.”
Kwon Yool swiftly stuffed a thick wad of napkins into Seo Yeon’s bread bag.
“Ah, Mr. Yool. This outfit… I will give it to Director Hyun Woo. So, goodbye.”
She turned away, unable to face him any longer.
Although his lips were tempting, she didn’t have the luxury of entertaining that thought. Her legs felt unpleasantly sticky, and she had lost all patience due to the unflattering coffee stain.
It was really the worst. This has to be the end! Absolutely not. Don’t even think about it. If you do, you’re insane.
Seo Yeon returned home as if she were running away from him.
“Mother warned me about the ninth water and Samjae. Ah, if only I had listened to my mother. Oh, could I have possibly brought shame upon myself too?”
On her way to the bathroom, Seo Yeon took off her trousers that were clinging to her legs and threw them away, venting her irritation. Only then did the humiliating situation make sense.
Seo Yeon stood in front of the cascading shower for a long time.
Seeing Kwon Yool’s gentle gaze and flustered face being replayed nonstop, she covered her face with both hands, unable to stand it anymore.
“Ah, listen, Mr. Yool. Please get out. Out of my head.”
Seo Yeon shook her head vigorously, chasing the Kwon Yool living in her mind.
Seo Yeon, who had been in the bathroom for a while, heated up some milk.
Then she turned the bread bag upside down and poured everything onto the table.
As the heavy breads fell with a thud, the yellow napkins that Kwon Yool had put in gently settled on top. And one white piece of paper.
Huh?
Seo Yeon’s fingers slowly picked up that piece of paper.
As she unfolded the twicefolded paper, neat handwriting was revealed.
010XXXXXXXX Waiting for your call.
Those numbers she wanted to know so badly were written there. The time she had spent trying to meet him was replayed like a scene from a movie.
Seo Yeon, who had been silently looking down at the paper, slowly lifted her head.
Her shoulders then straightened in a line.
The corners of her mouth opened slightly, and a sigh escaped loudly.
“Heh. Ahh… Ah… I see.”
Seo Yeon looked at the paper with his phone number as if she was about to eat it up.
“……Wait all you want. See if I call!”
Only then did Seo Yeon’s neat teeth show a bright smile.
