Although Tae-sin had orchestrated a situation according to his revenge, the way Seo In-ho treated her had completely changed overnight.
It perfectly matched the appearance she had longed for, with not a single deviation.
This fact robbed Yuri of all her senses, making it impossible for her to be suspicious of the excessively smooth situation.
“I kept thinking about you all night.”
“Me, thinking?”
Yuri’s pupils dilated significantly, shaking as if she had been waiting.
Unable to conceal her excitement, her eye area turned red, and her lively lips continuously moved upward.
In-ho, pretending to be indifferent, carefully observed Yuri’s reaction.
“Well, even though I tried not to, I kept thinking about you.”
In-ho instinctively uttered words that came to his mind without hesitation. Then, pretending not to look at Yuri, he immediately took hold of the coffee cup. However, his gaze remained fixed on Yuri all the while. Through her expressions alone, he could keenly sense the emotions she was feeling now.
“Now, how should I interpret the words you’re saying, Oppa?”
An answer without knowing the topic flowed timidly through her voice. In-ho felt nauseous just hearing Yuri’s voice but endured it with a bitter patience. Then, he began shamelessly acting.
“I’m talking about what you said yesterday.”
“…Huh?”
Yuri’s expression visibly shook at In-ho’s immediate follow-up. It felt as if her heart sank.
Yesterday, she was certain that the person she faced was In-ho, not the body of Chae Soo-yeon. Still, it was shocking to hear a man, who was confident that he was the real Seo In-ho, recounting yesterday’s events.
“Yesterday…?”
Yuri asked once again with a trembling voice.
“Yeah. Don’t you remember? What you said yesterday.”
In-ho’s response this time was more direct than before. It was astonishing enough to make her feel like her heart was about to burst, yet In-ho remained nonchalant.
Yuri’s mind was in turmoil.
‘Did I meet In-ho yesterday and not Chae Soo-yeon? Was it really Seo In-ho?’
There seemed to be a hitch in the otherwise perfect plan. However, there were more than a few strange points to consider.
Certainly, she had secretly eavesdropped on a conversation where In-ho’s voice was heard saying, ‘Mr. In-ho.’ The voice was so full of charm that it gave her goosebumps, and it vividly echoed in her memory.
Even if that wasn’t the case, if the In-ho she saw yesterday was indeed Seo In-ho, he wouldn’t have listened to her made-up story until the end, and he wouldn’t have become furious.
“What are you talking about among the things I said? There were various stories we shared yesterday, so it’s a bit confusing.”
Yuri was still confused, but she asked In-ho while avoiding eye contact.
At that moment, a disappointed expression crossed In-ho’s face.
Yuri felt her heart sink in an instant.
“You seem to have no recollection. When you spoke seriously, I thought it was a story you had been contemplating for a long time. So, I couldn’t sleep all night and was troubled by it.”
“…”
“It seems like I’ve done something unnecessary. If that’s your wish, fine. When the coffee comes, just drink it, and let’s leave.”
Yuri clenched the hand she had hidden under the table.
Her pupils fluctuated uncontrollably, and her heart pounded violently.
‘I really saw the person yesterday, and it wasn’t my brother but Oppa? …No. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense. Then, did Oppa speak with his own mouth while talking to someone? Does that make sense?’
Yuri bit her lower lip hard.
It was an unbelievable situation. If it were the Seo In-ho she had known until now, this couldn’t possibly be happening. However, the In-ho she was facing now was also strange. If yesterday’s Seo In-ho was Chae Soo-yeon, and today’s Seo In-ho was the real Seo In-ho, then the man she was facing now shouldn’t know about yesterday’s events. Even if he heard it from Chae Soo-yeon, such a reaction wouldn’t be plausible, right?
Yuri gulped down cold water. A burning sensation and impatience surged within her. If this man knows everything about yesterday and, by any chance, invited her out today with good intentions, then she was facing the situation she had so eagerly anticipated.
Once that thought rose in her mind, no other thoughts followed. The possibility that In-ho might know about yesterday soon became a certainty and blinded Yuri’s eyes.
Whether yesterday and today’s Seo In-ho were different people or the same person, such questions didn’t matter.
“No, Oppa. I remember everything.”
“…Really?”
“Yeah. I remember all the conversations we had, of course. Naturally, how could I forget? I remember everything.”
Yuri pulled the chair closer and pleaded with her eyes fixed on In-ho to capture his attention. The more she did, the more In-ho melted Yuri’s plea with a calm demeanor. Pausing for a moment, he put down the coffee cup and scrutinized Yuri thoroughly.
“So, what do you want to do?”
“Huh?”
“You’re not unaware of my situation. You wouldn’t say such things without any thought. What do you want to do?”
Yuri widened her eyes in surprise. It was a statement she hadn’t anticipated. What did she want to do? There was no value in contemplating.
Yuri hurriedly conveyed her true feelings. “Oppa, I don’t care if you’re married or anything. If you abandon that woman and come to me, I can accept it anytime. People’s opinions? I don’t care about any of that! As long as you’re with me, I can endure anything. As long as you’re by my side, I have the confidence to withstand anything.”
“But this is a matter that involves the future of your acting career. For me, I can take a break and resume activities as a model for our company after some time, but it’s not the same for you. Taeshin might intentionally block your path. So, it would be better for you to think more carefully…”
“Oh, no, Oppa! That will never happen! I’m sure of it. So, you don’t have to worry about that.”
Yuri poured out her feelings like a half-crying person. Due to that, she didn’t notice that her words just gave In-ho significant assurance a while ago.
“Is that so?”
In-ho, still locking eyes with Yuri, finally pulled away from the chair after taking enough time. Yuri nodded vigorously with a face overtaken by excitement.
Due to that, she didn’t notice at all that her words a while ago had given In-ho a strong conviction.
“Is that so?”
In-ho, still locking eyes with Yuri, finally pulled away from the chair after taking enough time.
Yuri nodded vigorously with a face overtaken by excitement.
“Of course. I mentioned it yesterday too, but I’ve genuinely liked you for a long time. I’ve been waiting for a day like today. You knew about my feelings, didn’t you? If it weren’t for that woman, I might have married you, but because of that woman…!”
“I had my suspicions, and it turns out my suspicions were right.”
In-ho, starting to get genuinely agitated as Su-yeon’s story unfolded, narrowed his eyes as if finding Yuri’s excited state unpleasant and abruptly interrupted her.
Yuri looked at In-ho with a puzzled expression.

But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”

Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
