Thursday evening.
Jiho, overwhelmed by Yeon Soo’s request, found it hard to focus on his book. He was reluctant to get involved with Yumi, but he had overlooked something important: Yeon Soo’s relationship with Soo Min.
This was beyond Jiho’s control. He realized that even on Yumi’s birthday, their meeting was due to an arrangement between Yeon Soo and Soo Min.
And now, Yeon Soo’s errand to Soo Min’s house would inevitably lead him to Yumi again.
‘Lee Soo wouldn’t like this at all.’
Jiho tidied his space and left the library earlier than planned. He got into his car, parked in the lot.
In the deep darkness of the late evening, he sat back in his seat, pressing his temples and closing his eyes, lost in thought.
A phone vibration broke his reverie. It was Lee Soo, whom he had been longing to see all day.
“Hey, Lee Soo, are you out now?”
[Yeah, just heading down the stairs. Where are you?]Her bright voice instantly lightened his mood.
Jiho got out of the car, walking towards the library as he spoke.
“I’m heading your way.”
He walked briskly, soon spotting Lee Soo.
“I see you.”
[Ah! Me too.]Their joyful voices and laughter echoed through the phone.
Spotting Jiho in the darkness, Lee Soo immediately smiled brightly.
It had been only a day since they’d seen each other, but the reunion was incredibly joyful.
Lee Soo hung up and hurried towards Jiho, almost running. She wanted to rush into his arms but instead, she lightly linked her arm with his.
It was late, and the parking lot was empty.
“Did you come out early?”
“No, just a bit ago.”
Jiho gently caressed Lee Soo’s face.
“Don’t wait next time if you come out early, just go ahead.”
Lee Soo often turned off her phone while studying, making it hard to contact her. Even now, in their relationship, this habit hadn’t changed.
“It’s okay. I’ve been waiting for this moment to meet you. Where else would I go?”
Jiho wrapped his arm around Lee Soo and they walked to the car.
While Jiho drove, Lee Soo continuously held his hand.
“Isn’t it dangerous to drive with one hand?”
“If you’re worried, shouldn’t you let go of my hand first?” Jiho asked teasingly.
As Lee Soo began to pull away, Jiho tightened his grip.
“It’s not dangerous at all, don’t worry.”
Jiho, while driving, asked playfully, causing Lee Soo’s hand to start slipping away. He then firmly grasped their interlocked hands.
“Don’t worry, it’s not dangerous at all.”
Jiho was delighted that Lee Soo was the one holding his hand and looking at him this time. Before, it was always Jiho who yearned and looked at her. But everything changed after she heard his song.
Lee Soo, still prioritizing her work, had now placed Jiho as a close second in her life.
Her eyes were filled with affection as she looked at him.
“Let’s spend the entire weekend together after our exams.”
“The whole weekend?”
“Yes. We’ve hardly seen each other lately with all the studying. It’s been over two weeks of just brief nightly meet-ups. I miss you and want to spend quality time together.”
Jiho stroked Lee Soo’s hand with his thumb while interlocking their fingers.
Couples often stuck together studying in the library during exams, but Lee Soo seemed uncomfortable even with Jiho in the same reading room. So, Jiho respectfully stayed out of her sight.
Her reason was that seeing him would distract her from concentrating.
He couldn’t argue with her logic and agreed to her request.
Thus, they only spent about 30 minutes together each day, the time it took for Jiho to drop Lee Soo home, their only chance to see each other and hold hands.
Although Jiho felt a bit neglected, Lee Soo’s unwavering dedication to her work was also attractive to him.
Due to his extremely logical girlfriend, Jiho too had to exercise restraint.
But there were times, like now, when Lee Soo willingly followed his lead, which brought him immense joy.
“Then come over to my place on the day our exams end.”
Lee Soo, wanting to be with Jiho, suggested they spend a day together.
Surprised, Jiho quickly turned his head towards her.
“We can have dinner at my place, drink some wine, watch a movie…”
Her voice trailed off towards the end, a hint of shyness in her words.
Both, at the thought, smiled uncontrollably, their hearts racing with excitement.
Sunday evening.
Lee Soo turned on her phone.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A flurry of missed calls and messages came through, the phone sounding loud alarms.
She checked the missed calls first.
The most recent ones were from Jiho, Aera, Da Eun, her dad, and then…
Lee Soo’s eyes widened, her gaze fixing on an unfamiliar number. For a moment, she stared intently at the screen.
The number had no saved name, just a string of digits, and the last few matched her birthday.
‘Could this be Min Jae’s number…?’
She couldn’t remember the exact middle digits. Before they fell out, Min Jae had changed his phone number to end with her birthday and informed her of the new number.
