For the past three years since their marriage, Chae-Yoon had never set foot here.
Chae-Yoon’s unexpected early visit caught Jae-O off guard, leading him to silently observe her.
Chae-Yoon was always seen at home, which perhaps was why Jae-O had never witnessed her dressed up. The Chae-Yoon before him now was unlike the Song Chae-Yoon he remembered.
Chae-Yoon’s appearance was different, but Jae-O couldn’t pinpoint how. She simply wasn’t the Chae-Yoon he had in his mind.
Most strikingly, Jae-O felt as if he was seeing her after a long time.
‘A long time?’ he thought. Was that an appropriate thought for two people sharing a room?
‘Recently, we haven’t seen each other much…’
He pondered over the last time he had faced Chae-Yoon directly but couldn’t recall. The only memory he had was…
“Uh, Oppa…”
…when Chae-Yoon visited his study sometime after their marriage.
As Jae-O was lost in thought, Chae-Yoon briskly approached him, saying, “I’ve brought a lunchbox.”
It was then that Jae-O noticed the lunchbox in her hand. Assistant Yang, standing beside Chae-Yoon, interjected, “You also brought something for us to eat…”
“Come in,” Jae-O cut Assistant Yang off, addressing Chae-Yoon directly. This behavior was familiar to Assistant Yang, who had worked with Jae-O for years. He stepped aside nonchalantly, but Chae-Yoon seemed uneasy.
‘So he acts this way outside the home too.’
Feeling uncomfortable about possibly embarrassing Assistant Yang due to her unannounced visit, Chae-Yoon smiled awkwardly at him before following Jae-O into his office.
Jae-O’s office exceeded Chae-Yoon’s expectations in size and style. It was as neat and precise as his personality.
“What’s the matter?” Jae-O asked in a deep voice as Chae-Yoon looked around.
Chae-Yoon, slightly shy, replied, “I was a bit worried because you left without eating.”
“Also, I have something to say,” she added, sensing an opportunity for conversation.
“What do you need to talk about?” Jae-O inquired, hearing her mention having something to say.
“First, let’s start with this…” Chae-Yoon suggested, placing the lunchbox on the table.
“Ahh, I have to go out soon, no time to eat now,” Jae-O replied, checking his wristwatch. He seemed genuinely busy.
Chae-Yoon, familiar with this scene, accepted it as usual. “Okay then. Leave this here, and eat it later.”
As she turned to leave, Jae-O reminded her, “You said you had something to talk about.”
Chae-Yoon paused, a flicker of hope in her eyes. Turning back to face Jae-O, she found him standing by a clothes manager in his office.
“Oppa, I thought you were busy,” she said hesitantly.
Jae-O, taking out his coat, responded, “I have time to listen. What is it?”
Expecting a conversation, Chae-Yoon turned from the door and looked at Jae-O. He stood by a garment manager in his office. Watching him closely, she remarked, “I thought you were busy, Oppa.”
Jae-O, taking out a coat, replied, “I have time to listen. What’s it about?”
As he put on the long coat over his well-built frame, disappointment spread in Chae-Yoon’s eyes. It seemed Jae-O was only prepared to listen, not to engage in a face-to-face conversation.
It had always been like this. Jae-O would leave for work before she woke up and return after she had slept. If he came home early, he’d lock himself in his study. Hence, Chae-Yoon rarely had the chance to talk with him.
The few times they did speak, their conversations were brief. She longed for a proper sit-down talk, but it seldom happened. She had directly asked him for time.
“When will you not be busy?”
“I don’t know. Why?”
“Just… wanted to have a meal with you, Oppa.”
“When?”
“Whenever you’re free.”
“Alright.”
If they managed to make plans, Jae-O often didn’t show up, citing urgent work. Chae-Yoon would then return home, facing the emptiness of unfulfilled expectations.
That’s why she impulsively visited the office today, hoping a spontaneous visit might spark his interest. She had even dressed up, hoping to leave a slight impression on his work-focused mind. It seemed futile.
‘So typical.’
Chae-Yoon’s lips curled bitterly, feeling foolish for expecting something different. It was more her fault for visiting unannounced than his for being busy.
Three years of accumulated emotions made her feel more upset than understanding.
“Song Chae-Yoon.”
Jae-O’s call caught her attention as her eyes, filled with pent-up feelings, turned towards him.
“Speak if you have something to say.”
Not expecting much change from her words, she wondered if Jae-O would even remember this conversation amidst his busy schedule.
As Chae-Yoon remained silent, Jae-O’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Nothing to say?”
Chae-Yoon’s eyes met his hurried yet handsome face. Her lips, set firm, thought, ‘Let’s speak, considering it the last time.’
“If it’s a no again, I won’t try anymore,” she resolved, gripping her bag tightly. Her lips parted.
“Next Wednesday…”
At that moment, Woo-Jong entered with a knock.
Jae-O’s attention shifted to Woo-Jong.
“Why?”
“Ah, that is…”
