“I was just jealous… thinking about you liking another guy….”
The mere thought of Lee Soo liking another man made his heart ache.
“I swear, nothing happened. Do-yeon exaggerated it. We never really dated.”
Lee Soo was upset that Ji-ho had to hear about things he didn’t need to know.
There was no need to explain, but she knew Ji-ho mustn’t have felt good.
“Really. It was just a rumor, nothing….”
Ji-ho suddenly embraced her, interrupting her reassuring words.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to say anything.”
Ji-ho’s chest radiated a pleasant scent.
The fragrance that first made her remember Ji-ho. Her heart fluttered at the smell.
Lee Soo, in her tight-fitting dress, felt Ji-ho’s large hand stroking her back.
In Ji-ho’s embrace, her slender figure felt strikingly apparent.
Her body seemed to melt into Ji-ho’s chest as he hugged her tighter.
Just when she thought she couldn’t breathe, Ji-ho’s voice reached her ears.
“Do you wear this kind of dress only when you meet friends?”
Ji-ho’s hand slid down to her waist.
Her slender waist was easily encircled by his hand.
Feeling oddly exhilarating and strange, Lee Soo held her breath for a moment.
“No, not necessarily… Why? Doesn’t it suit me?”
Lee Soo looked up, furrowing her brows, asking the question that had been on her mind since they first met.
The original Korean paragraph contains 30 lines. Here is the English translation, maintaining the exact same number of lines:
Lee Soo wondered how she looked in Ji-ho’s eyes, feeling curious and a bit shy about her appearance.
“No, you look so beautiful….”
“There it is again.”
“That comment. I was just wondering why you don’t wear such pretty dresses more often.”
“I wear them occasionally for a change of mood, they’re uncomfortable. Do you like it when I dress like this?”
Lee Soo had never really thought about Ji-ho’s preferences, but was curious if he liked this feminine style.
“You always look beautiful, but today, I just can’t take my eyes off you…. I don’t want to part ways, what should I do?”
Lee Soo rolled her eyes in mock exasperation.
“You’re so pretty, I want to keep you to myself. Wish I could put you in my pocket and take you out only when I want to see you.”
“Ah, stop it!”
Lee Soo, her face flushed, shouted as if she couldn’t bear to hear more.
How could he say such things so nonchalantly?
Embarrassed, Lee Soo felt herself shrinking.
“What’s so embarrassing about calling someone pretty?”
Ji-ho looked at the bashful Lee Soo and grinned broadly.
He lifted his hand from her waist and gently held her face.
He leaned down and kissed her lips softly.
“I really don’t want to part ways….”
They had been standing in front of her house for several minutes without realizing it.
Lee Soo felt the same reluctance, but if they went into the house together, things might get out of hand.
Their emotions were intense, and their gazes too deep.
Ji-ho hugged her tightly, as if he couldn’t bear to let go.
In his embrace, Lee Soo’s slender figure was vividly felt, making Ji-ho’s heart beat wildly.
The mounting tension was becoming unbearable.
“……I’ll let go now.”
With difficulty, Ji-ho released his embrace.
[Star icon][Star icon]The promise to visit her parents’ house every weekend had been postponed for various reasons.
Initially meant to be an overnight stay, it often ended up being just a meal.
This weekend was no different.
Having parted late with friends the night before, Lee Soo arrived home in time for Sunday dinner.
She washed her hands and entered the dining room.
“It’s been a while, Lee Soo. Welcome.”
Soo-min greeted her with a smile.
“Hello, how have you been?”
Lee Soo greeted politely and sat next to Won-jin.
Yoo-mi barely acknowledged Lee Soo with a nod, still under a cloud since being humiliated in front of people a few days earlier.
Her pride hurt, she didn’t want to face Lee Soo, but had to sit down due to her mother’s insistence.
The four of them started eating quietly, with only Won-jin occasionally speaking to Lee Soo.
“Lee Soo, that’s a necklace I haven’t seen before.”
Won-jin, with his sharp eyes, noticed and asked.
The necklace glistened on Lee Soo’s neck, exposed by her V-neck knit.
‘A necklace?’
Yoo-mi’s eyebrows twitched, her nose buried in her bowl.
“Oh, this?”
The necklace Ji-ho had put on her neck, which she hadn’t taken off since.
She hadn’t thought much when choosing a low-cut top but now regretted it.
If she admitted it was a gift, her father would question her like he did about the perfume.
“I bought it because it’s pretty. How does it look?”
Lee Soo lied smoothly.
“You never bought such things before, but it’s a good purchase. It suits you well.”
The original Korean paragraph contains 30 lines. Here is the English translation, maintaining the exact same number of lines:
Lee Soo thought she had deflected the topic, but suddenly Won-jin cocked his head.
“But how did you buy it? I didn’t see any card transactions. That’s a luxury brand, right? It must cost at least a few hundred.”
Oops! Lee Soo had forgotten that her father received notifications for her card transactions.
Quickly thinking on her feet, she came up with a response.
“Oh, I bought it with a gift voucher. Remember the one dad gave me to use at the department store? I had saved them all.”
Lee Soo took a casual sip of water.
“Were there that many vouchers?”
“Yes. I covered the extra cost with cash. Buying with vouchers is the cheapest option. These things never go on sale.”
“Wow, the necklace is so beautiful. It would be nice to buy one for Yoo-mi too.”
Soo-min complimented Lee Soo’s necklace, subtly bringing up Yoo-mi.
It was a hint for Won-jin, but he gave no reaction.
Though the monthly allowance from Won-jin was generous, it wasn’t enough to buy such a luxury necklace for Yoo-mi without strain.
They had to be mindful of Won-jin, who controlled the finances.
Until then, Yoo-mi had not looked at Lee Soo, but when Soo-min joined in praising, she became curious about the necklace.
Glancing up, the diamonds in Lee Soo’s necklace shone sharply, pricking Yoo-mi’s eyes like thorns.
‘Gasp! That’s the necklace from that time!’
Yoo-mi’s mouth fell open in shock.
It must be a coincidence….
Narrowing her eyes, Yoo-mi scrutinized Lee Soo, trying to figure something out.
Meeting Yoo-mi’s gaze, Lee Soo smiled nonchalantly and shrugged as if to ask what was wrong.

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
