“Our Su Yeon really looks happier since she got married to Mr. Seo. Her taste in food has changed quite a bit too.”
Hyekyung delicately curved her eyes as she spoke.

Her soothing voice was laden with a mocking undertone.

Without knowing, Su Yeon glanced at In Ho and Yeong Seon.

Yeong Seon had an awkward expression, and In Ho was….

“Ah, was I too engrossed in eating without talking? I just love watching my husband eat well, so I got into the habit of enjoying my meal without realizing.”
In Ho, without batting an eye, responded pretending to be Choi Su Yeon.

He looked at her and smiled full of affection, then with a refined hand, he took a napkin and dabbed his mouth.

He seemed so coy doing so.

Su Yeon, forgetting she had been on edge, couldn’t help but laugh along with In Ho.

“You must have been really hungry. Eat a lot.”
The image of In Ho, who usually ate minimally when going to the set, sprang to her mind, and she reflexively blurted out.

But as she said that, she felt the atmosphere chilling rapidly.

Su Yeon glanced around in confusion, not understanding why.

During her gaze, she spotted In Ho squinting at her.

Then she realized.

She had unintentionally used Choi Su Yeon’s manner of speaking while in In Ho’s body, forgetting the attention she was getting.

Su Yeon awkwardly smiled and looked around with a flustered face.

“Su Yeon must have been hungry since she hasn’t been shopping for a while. Mom, please eat some more.”
She awkwardly excused herself and offered some food to Yeong Seon.

Despite her best efforts, the mood did not lighten easily.

“By the way, honey, did you finish your shooting well today?”
Then a cheerful voice echoed throughout the room.

Su Yeon looked at In Ho with surprised eyes.

His voice, still full of affection, hung sweetly in her ears as if he’d been drinking honey.

Had In Ho always been this affectionate?

‘It didn’t seem like it…’
The more she thought, the less In Ho and affection seemed to go together.

And yet, it wasn’t bad.

An affectionate Seo In Ho. It was strange, but cute and nice.

It would have been even better if she could see this side of the real In Ho.

“Yes, it went well.”
She didn’t know if In Ho’s shooting had actually gone well, but she replied anyway.

What’s so important about the actual truth?

Right now, what was important to Su Yeon was the fact that she was having a lively conversation with In Ho.

Even if it was a conversation for showing off to the inlaws and other family members, Su Yeon felt her heart pounding happily.

The fact that she could make eye contact with In Ho and laugh brightly.

That alone made her forget she was dining with Hyekyung and Su Jin, who she always found awkward, and it made her heart flutter.

That’s why she didn’t notice the strange glow on Yeong Seon’s face at all.

((())) ((())) ((()))

The dinner didn’t last long.

Yeong Seon suggested they wrap it up first, and the alwaysuncomfortable Hyekyung agreed, bringing the meal to an end.

Su Yeon sent Hyekyung and Su Jin off with some pleasantries and then went down to the parking lot with In Ho to see Yeong Seon off.

“It seems like you came out to shop. What should we do now?”
After much thought, Su Yeon, pretending to be In Ho, spoke to Yeong Seon.

She had really wanted to buy Yeong Seon a nice bag, but she had run into Hyekyung and things had turned out this way. It had been bothering her.

“No, my son. You think I don’t have bags? I came out today because Su Yeon here mentioned shopping, something she hasn’t done in a while. I thought it would be nice to get some fresh air. Don’t worry about it.”
Yeong Seon responded kindly, not knowing she was talking to Su Yeon who was in In Ho’s body.

That attitude was fully expected. What was surprising was what Yeong Seon did next.

“Thank you… for coming out with me today.”
Yeong Seon, who had been hesitating, expressed gratitude towards Su Yeon, or more accurately, In Ho who was in Su Yeon’s body.

It was needless to say that Su Yeon was surprised. In Ho, in Su Yeon’s body, was also taken aback and couldn’t say anything.

If Yeong Seon’s car hadn’t pulled up just then, they might have stood in silence for quite a while.

In place of the two people unable to find their words, it was Young Seon who spoke first again.

“Son, I’m going to go first. Be careful and go in with Su Yeon. Okay?”
Su Yeon, without realizing that Young Seon’s words were directed at her, was lost in thought for a long time.

If it wasn’t for In Ho’s touch poking her in the ribs, she might have continued in that state for much longer.

Finally gathering her senses, Su Yeon nodded her head.

“Yes, be careful. I’ll get in touch.”
“Alright, son.”
Young Seon, filled with an unfamiliar warmth that she could not adapt to until the end, got into the car.

Soon, the sharp noise of the tires leaving the parking lot echoed, and only the two of them were left.

“You said you wouldn’t be able to act even if you were dying, but you seem to have improved a bit? Pretending to be Seo In Ho isn’t too bad.”
