Chae Yoon was so surprised that she froze in place.
At that moment, Jae Oh, who had been standing near the dressing room door, approached Chae Yoon.
“When did you wake up?”
Startled, Chae Yoon placed her hand on her pounding chest and managed to reply.
“I woke up a little while ago… What are you doing here, oppa?”
“I was preparing food for you when I heard a noise, so I came to check.”
Chae Yoon briefly doubted her own ears.
What’s surprising is that he’s here, but what’s he doing?
“What kind of preparation are you talking about?”
“I’m preparing hangover soup to soothe your hangover from drinking.”
When Chae Yoon stared at him with a puzzled expression, Jae Oh reached into his training pants pocket and assessed Chae Yoon’s condition.
She looked more intact than he had thought. Her complexion wasn’t too bad either.
With some concern, Jae Oh met Chae Yoon’s gaze.
“How are you feeling inside?”
“I’m okay.”
While answering and suppressing her surprise, Chae Yoon subtly asked a question.
“But, yesterday… Did you bring me home, oppa?”
In an instant, Jae Oh’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Uh…”
“Oh… That’s right.”
“You don’t remember what happened yesterday?”
Chae Yoon’s question seemed to embarrass her, and her pale face showed signs of embarrassment.
At this point, it was almost certain that she couldn’t remember what happened yesterday.
While other things could be overlooked, not being able to remember was unacceptable.
Wanting to convey the seriousness of the situation, Jae Oh spoke with a firm expression.
“You’ve had episodes of memory loss like this several times before.”
With a tone that had lowered by a tone, and a heavy atmosphere, Chae Yoon inadvertently swallowed dry saliva and scrutinized his expression.
In a situation where alcohol had caused memory loss not just once or twice, his expression was stern, as if he couldn’t just overlook it.
The atmosphere felt somewhat like getting scolded by a father, and Chae Yoon didn’t mind it. This kind of expression only appeared when he was genuinely concerned.
So, Chae Yoon responded as if she were a child who had realized her mistake.
“This is the first time. From now on, I won’t drink this much.”
Even though she had answered, his probing gaze didn’t let up.
“Really…”
Seeing her response, he seemed satisfied.
Jae Oh softened his gaze and emphasized once more, “Don’t drink to the point where you can’t remember in the future.”
Chae Yoon’s head lifted at his much gentler tone.
As she looked at Jae Oh, their eyes met, and Chae Yoon smiled and nodded.
Understood, her expression conveying an apology as she nodded with a bashful smile, Chae Yoon’s gaze met Jae Oh’s, causing a slight hesitation in his eyes.
At that moment, Chae Yoon took a step closer to him.
“But, Oppa.”
As they drew nearer, Jae Oh tensed up.
No, this shouldn’t happen.
Already, he felt a bit dizzy from Chae Yoon’s smile. Afraid that getting closer to Chae Yoon might cloud his judgment further, Jae Oh moved his lips before she could come any closer.
“I’ll be preparing the meal, so do what you need to and come out.”
Without glancing at Chae Yoon, Jae Oh spat out his words like a bullet and swiftly turned away from her.
At that moment, Chae Yoon, who had intended to ask him about what happened yesterday, found herself at a loss for words.
Her mouth, which had been open, snapped shut, and she watched Jae Oh, who was leaving the dressing room without looking back.
‘Why is he acting like this?’
His sudden behavior left her slightly puzzled, but what she was most curious about right now was what had happened yesterday.
Chae Yoon immediately called Ga Young.
Ga Young, who had just woken up from Chae Yoon’s call, told her everything that had happened yesterday.
“Yeah, I got it. I’ll contact Hyo Jung separately. Thanks.”
Having learned all the details from Ga Young, Chae Yoon took a deep breath and headed to the kitchen.
As she approached the kitchen, she wondered if Jae Oh would have broken everything like he did last time, but surprisingly, the atmosphere in the kitchen was calm.
Furthermore, the dining table set up there looked quite convincing, so Chae Yoon paused her steps towards the kitchen and silently observed Jae Oh’s appearance.
The man who was filling the kitchen was indeed Han Jae Oh, just like last time.
However, whether it was due to his different attire or the fact that there were only him and Chae Yoon in this house, she felt something as if she was living with him, or more precisely, not alone.
It was an emotion she had never felt since Haesang had left.
At the moment when her toes curled in response to the emotions stirring in her heart, Jae Oh’s surprised voice echoed through the kitchen.
“Oh, you startled me.”
Seeing Jae Oh’s surprised expression as he stood still, a smile appeared at the corner of Chae Yoon’s lips.
When Chae Yoon smiled at him and then again, Jae Oh quickly averted his gaze from her.
“Why are you standing? Sit.”
Following Jae Oh’s movements, Chae Yoon’s eyes roamed over the table he had set.
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…
