With a thought to generously treat him, Lee Soo awaited the message of payment confirmation on her phone.
However, the staff returned her card saying,
“The bill for your table has already been paid.”
“That can’t be. Please check again.”
The staff, having checked the monitor in front of the counter, spoke in a kindly voice,
“The payment is confirmed. It seems that your companion already paid in advance.”
“Ah… I see. Thank you.”
Was this his plan from the start?
Lee Soo took her card and returned to her seat.
She might have saved a month’s worth of meal expenses, but it felt like the debt she had to pay back to Ji Ho had just increased, which was a bit burdensome.
“Lee Soo, let’s go.”
Ji Ho, coming up behind a thoughtful Lee Soo, spoke.
“You paid the bill. Why did you do that?”
“Did you really think I brought you here to have you pay?”
Ji Ho laughed, raising the corner of his mouth as if it was obvious that he should be the one to pay.
It seemed like the expensive meal price was not an issue for him at all.
Considering he had suggested coming here frequently, it really seemed to be the case.
“But I was supposed to pay.”
“You can do it next time. It’s enough that you came with me today. I wanted to come here with you.”
Ji Ho gently laughed and draped his arm over Lee Soo’s shoulder.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”
((()))((()))
By the time they got in the car, it was well past 8 o’clock.
She had spent the whole day with Ji Ho, from morning till evening.
“Are you going straight home?”
Ji Ho, sitting in the driver’s seat, asked as he brought his finger to the navigation screen.
“Um. Actually… I moved out on my own a while ago.”
It was something that no one knew about except her family.
Because she felt she needed to explain it in detail, she hadn’t told Dong Woo or Ae Ra yet.
“Really?”
Ji Ho asked with a genuinely surprised expression.
“You went home when we went to see the cherry blossoms. Did you move out after that day?”
When Lee Soo nodded her head, Ji Ho studied her expression for a moment.
“Should I congratulate you?”
“Of course. It was my wish.”
Lee Soo spoke with a bright smile.
“Congratulations!”
This was the first time someone had congratulated her for moving out.
The feeling of being congratulated by Ji Ho, who had been with her during tough times, was strange.
Ji Ho smiled and spoke, but he was recalling the day Lee Soo was crying in the rain.
She had said that she was leaving home that day…
Although it was all cleanly erased now, the wound on her face from that day still remained vivid in his memory, making his heart ache.
“So today we’re really going to Lee Soo’s house?”
“Yes. But I haven’t told anyone yet, so only you know for now.”
“Wow… it’s a secret only I know? I’m honored.”
Lee Soo nodded at Ji Ho, who was genuinely smiling brightly.
“I haven’t even been independent for a month. It still doesn’t feel real to me.”
Lee Soo spoke with a light laugh.
She was clearly happy just thinking about it.
“Alright. I’ll keep the secret. Since tomorrow is Monday, let’s go home early and rest.”
Ji Ho entered the address of Lee Soo’s new house.
As the navigation directed, Ji Ho’s car smoothly took off.
Seeing Lee Soo’s happy face, Ji Ho felt happy himself.
((()))((()))
Lee Soo forcefully opened her eyes to the noisy alarm of the clock.
“Ugh, what. It’s already morning.”
It felt like she had just closed her eyes, but it was already morning.
Ah, it’s really painful.
Lee Soo managed to get her heavy body out of bed.
Even though she had slept like she was unconscious and woke up, her body still felt incredibly heavy.
Lee Soo relieved her aching body with a simple stretch.
As soon as she turned on her phone which had been switched off during the night, notifications and vibrations went off all at once.
The most recent message was from Ji Ho.
“What’s going on this early in the morning?”
Lee Soo, I will come to your place by 8. Prepare slowly and come out.
It was a message sent at 7 in the morning.
The sudden visit without a promise left Lee Soo somewhat flustered, but she first checked the clock.
7:15 AM.
There was ample time.
As usual, Lee Soo washed up and ate a salad generously laden with ricotta cheese for breakfast.
She dried her hair and finished a oneminute makeup with just sunscreen and a red lipstick.
Thanks to her clear, pale skin, even applying just a lipstick had a vibrant effect.
Having neatly finished cleaning up after breakfast, Lee Soo left her house at three minutes to eight.
She saw Ji Ho leaning casually against his car at the apartment entrance, arms folded.
He was simply wearing a white shirt with a jacket over it, but he exuded such elegance and luxury that he could easily be featured in a car advertisement as is.
Lee Soo walked towards Ji Ho, looking at him as if admiring him.
A satisfied smile unknowingly spread across her face.
“You came out early.”
The corners of Ji Ho’s mouth curved up gently upon seeing Lee Soo.
It was an enchanting smile.
Lee Soo said as she took in the sight of Ji Ho,
“It’s not early, it’s exactly eight.”
“Girls usually take a long time to get ready. I thought I would have to wait, but you came out right on time.”
“Probably the same in the future.”
After the car started, Lee Soo asked Ji Ho,
“Why did you come all of a sudden in the morning?”
“I wanted to see you from the morning.”
Ji Ho said, gently turning the wheel.
“We decided not to resist when we want to see each other, remember?”
Lee Soo felt a little stunned seeing Ji Ho answer with a natural smile.
Was he saying that he would come unannounced whenever he wanted to see her?
Lee Soo blinked, unsure how to react.
‘Is this how Ji Ho’s love works?’
It was straightforward and honest.
“Did you sleep well yesterday?”
During a brief stop at a signal, Ji Ho asked Lee Soo, looking at her.
“Yeah. As soon as I got home, I took a shower and went straight to sleep. But it was still hard to wake up in the morning. Do I look really tired?”
Even an hour after waking up, she still felt heavy.
“You look beautiful.”
“What? That’s a nonsequitur.”
Lee Soo giggled and rolled her eyes slightly.
But she couldn’t help but smile.
She felt like her heart made a loud thud.
“I said you look beautiful because you asked if you look tired. Is that a nonsequitur?”
At Ji Ho’s teasing, the corners of Lee Soo’s mouth twitched upward.
Lee Soo turned her head towards the window.
She felt embarrassed to show Ji Ho her face that turned red at a single compliment.
Ji Ho took a quick glance at the suddenly quiet Lee Soo.
Seeing Lee Soo’s face turn red from being called pretty, Ji Ho burst out in a soft chuckle.
“I came because I wanted to see you in the morning, but are you going to keep turning your face away? Look at me. If you turn around, I can see your face right away.”
Lee Soo reluctantly turned her head halfway and looked straight ahead.
“Is this the first time I said you’re pretty? I thought you were pretty every time I saw you.”
At Ji Ho’s mumbling, as if talking to himself, Lee Soo’s ears also turned red.
