“I’ll talk to him, but I won’t force him. If Ji Ho says no, there’s nothing I can do.”
“That’s enough! Just your word is all we need.”
With a lighter heart, Ha Joon smiled and left.
[Star Icon][Star Icon]After getting off the bus, Soo took out her phone to call Ji Ho, who had texted her to call as soon as she got home. Ji Ho answered immediately.
[Soo.]“Wow, you answered quickly.”
[I was waiting.]Even though she was on the phone, Ji Ho’s voice seemed to come from behind her. Soo slowly lowered her phone and said.
“Ji Ho.”
Just as she was about to turn around, Ji Ho’s hand suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Ji Ho held her tightly from behind, resting his face gently on her shoulder.
“Whoa! You scared me. When did you get here?”
Soo asked, turning her head slightly, her lips almost touching Ji Ho’s face.
It was suffocating.
As Soo shared her unexpected story, Ji Ho found himself at a loss for words. All he could manage was a soft “ah,” unable to string together a coherent sentence.
Memories of their encounters flooded his mind: encountering Soo and Yoo Mi together at the café, having a meal with Yoo Mi, the photos of them, the absurd rumors, and even Yoo Mi’s birthday.
Then, the image of Soo’s bruised face flashed before his eyes – her soaked in rain, looking as if she had run out of her house, weeping endlessly.
She had once said, “Of course. It was my wish.”
Was leaving home so desperately a wish for her?
Ji Ho’s heart grew heavy. He pulled Soo into his embrace.
“……Thank you for telling me.”
Ji Ho hugged her tightly, understanding why she hadn’t spoken about it until now. He felt a pang in his heart, thinking of the awkward position Soo must have been in between him and Yoo Mi.
“It must have been very hard for you.”
At his words, all the sorrows and struggles flashed through Soo’s mind. Though she tried not to cry, her eyes welled up with tears.
Having revealed her well-guarded secret to Ji Ho, she felt an odd sense of relief. ‘I must really rely on and like Ji Ho to have told him all this.’
Soo straightened up, attempting to lighten the mood.
“I’m okay now. I fulfilled my wish recently.”
“Why were you crying on the plane that day?” Ji Ho asked, remembering the day he first saw her.
“That day, I cried because of my mom. I thought she was coming to Seoul to live with me this year. I had been waiting to live with her again ever since I lived with Dad… It was my only hope, the thing I held onto through all the hardships… When she said she couldn’t come, it felt like everything was shattered.”
Now she could speak about it more calmly.
Ji Ho silently caressed her cheek.
“And on that rainy day…”
He remembered her bruised cheek.
“That day,” Soo began, turning to face Ji Ho, “I was unwell, took some medicine, and fell asleep early. Then Yoo Mi, drunk, came into my room. And that perfume… she was holding the one you gave me, asking if it was really from you. We argued, the perfume fell and broke, and then Yoo Mi’s mom appeared… That’s how it happened.”
“……Su Min?”
Ji Ho’s expression was one of disbelief, but Soo nodded.
“It’s hard to imagine someone like Su Min, who always seemed so gentle and proper, in that situation.”
“What I went through was terrible, but it led to my independence. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fulfilled my wish.”
“……Yoo Mi seems to like you a lot. That day when you first took me home, Yoo Mi must have seen it by chance. She came running into my room, pale-faced, talking about you. That’s when I thought I shouldn’t get involved with you. I felt like I would end up telling you all this if we got close.”
Soo smiled lightly.
“But here I am, having told you everything.”
Ji Ho now understood why Soo was so angry on Yoo Mi’s birthday.
While it was a situation ripe for misunderstanding, knowing their relationship, Ji Ho suspected there was more to it.
“I’ve never thought of Yoo Mi as more than a sister. I can’t do anything about how she feels, but I’ll be more careful from now on. I’m sorry if I’ve been thoughtless. I just saw her as a sister and didn’t think much of it.”
He’d be even more surprised if he knew Su Min considered him a potential son-in-law for Yoo Mi.
Yoo Mi didn’t seem likely to give up easily.
“What will happen now?”
“Yoo Mi doesn’t know about us. I’ll tell her when the time is right.”
Soo wanted to wait for Yoo Mi to come to terms with her feelings for Ji Ho on her own. It was considerate for Yoo Mi and the best approach for both of them.
She hoped Yoo Mi would sort out her feelings soon.
“Alright.”
“That’s all I wanted to say. I knew it would shock you, so it wasn’t easy to talk about.”
“Thank you for sharing. It must have been hard.”
Ji Ho’s heart ached hearing Soo’s painful story. He was touched that she had confided in him, something she had never done with anyone else. He was also happy, feeling that he had become someone important to her.
[Star Icon][Star Icon]On a Wednesday evening.
As Yoo Mi was returning home, she noticed a man loitering near her house. He was standing a bit away from the gate, occasionally gl
“Ah, no.”
“Are you here to see Soo?” Yoo Mi asked, turning towards the man as he started to walk away.
The man stopped in his tracks and turned back around.
“Yes, but…”
He looked at Yoo Mi with a questioning gaze, then nodded his head.
“I’m her brother. Soo moved out recently and doesn’t live here anymore. You didn’t know?”
Yoo Mi scrutinized the man’s face carefully as she asked.
“Ah, I see.”
The man slowly nodded in response.
Yoo Mi’s eyes sparkled with realization as a memory suddenly came to her.
‘Ah! I remember now. Wasn’t he Soo’s boyfriend from high school?’
She recalled him as the boy who had waited for Soo for hours in front of their house during her senior year. Yoo Mi had pitied him and urged Soo to go out and see him several times.
‘What had he done to deserve such treatment?’ she wondered. Even back then, his handsome features had left a lasting impression on her.
“It seems like you didn’t contact Soo before coming.”
“The phone number I had for her has changed.”
Realizing that the man was unaware of Soo’s number change, Yoo Mi figured they must have completely lost contact.
‘It makes sense, given how harshly Soo treated him. And he’s here, which means he probably still has feelings for Soo.’
“Give me your phone, I’ll enter Soo’s new number for you.”
Yoo Mi, feeling irked by Soo’s continuous involvement with Ji Ho, thought it would be reassuring to have such a boyfriend by Soo’s side. She added Soo’s number to the man’s phone and asked him to keep it a secret that she had given it to him.
“But I should know your name at least…”
“Ah, I’m Min Jae Kim.”
