It wasn’t Wang Hyo Hee’s birthday party that was the problem. Tae Min Hyuk’s mind was filled entirely with Eun Seo Woo.
He felt like he was going to go mad.
◇ ◆ ◇
When Eun Seo Woo opened the front door with a bag of cheonhyehyang, her younger brother Shin Woo greeted her warmly.
“Aren’t you asleep yet? What about mom and Jun Woo?”
“Mom said she’d go to bed when you come home, but she couldn’t wait and fell asleep.”
Indeed, Mrs. Hwang, who slept early, was rarely awake when Seo Woo closed the cafe and came home.
“Jun Woo got tired and fell asleep quickly too. But what is this? A tangerine? No, it’s an orange!”
“They say it’s cheonhyehyang. The store in front of us was still open. They said it’s leftovers, so I bought it cheap.”
“Cool.”
Her twin brothers Shin Woo and Jun Woo were born in February. The two brothers, who were now seventeen years old, went to school a year early due to the nowabolished ‘early birth year’. So, they were planning to enter their second year of high school in the coming March.
At just seventeen, the tall boys were nearing 180 centimeters and ate a lot.
Actually, even if she bought a box of tangerines, they would all be gone in a day. Thanks to her generous boss, the money spent on vegetables and fruits was significantly reduced.
After taking a shower and coming out of the bathroom, Shin Woo, who was eating cheonhyehyang while watching an online lecture on his cell phone, spoke.
“This is leftover? It’s really delicious!”
“Is it that good?”
That’s a relief.

The store, which opened in a guerrillalike manner in the neighborhood, was rumored to close soon, but it had been operating for a year. Seo Woo hoped that the store wouldn’t go bankrupt.
“Yeah. You should have some too.”
Seo Woo caught the orange fruit that was lightly flying in a parabolic line with both hands. The grip that fits perfectly in her hand was indeed excellent.
“I wonder if there’s anything left for the boss.”
“Boss?”
Seo Woo, who was peeling the cheonhyehyang, raised her head at the unusually friendly sound of ‘boss’.
“Yeah. Jun Woo and I decided to call him ‘boss’.”
“Even Jun Woo?”
If even the gruff Jun Woo had become friendly enough to call him ‘boss’, then that was enough said. She knew that the fruit store boss had a good affinity, but she didn’t think it would be this much.
“Right, there’s an event at the fruit store in front of the playground tomorrow. Jun Woo and I are going to participate. I think it’s their first anniversary. There are a lot of prizes. You’re coming home early tomorrow, right?”
“So, I won’t be able to come early tomorrow. I have to drop by the office because they’re explaining the new translation work. I’m also having dinner with the team leader.”
“No choice then. Jun Woo and I will go and sweep all the prizes.”
Eun Seo Woo asked with a puzzled look.
“That much to sweep up?”
After all, how big could an event be at a neighborhood store? Maybe they would give out local gift certificates or a box of fruit. Of course, it would be great to receive that too.
“Yeah, it’s crazy. Things like the ○○Pad and ○○Pod, a trip to Jeju Island, an 80inch TV, a refrigerator, air purifier, dryer…”
“What?”
Eun Seo Woo was shocked by the outrageous scale.
Could a neighborhood fruit store have such a grand event?
“The store owner must be insane.”
Shin Woo smiled slyly.

Eun Seo Woo just nodded blankly. She admitted that the store owner was indeed crazy.
In her surroundings, there were two insane owners including Tae Min Hyuk and the fruit store owner.

“Yo, Yoon Seo Jun. It’s been a while. I hear your father has been upset with you lately.”
“What are you talking about? Where could you find a dutiful son like me?”
At a highend wine bar in Gangnam.
The one called Yoon Seo Jun was a man who looked extremely well in a creamcolored knit, his complexion as bright as the color of his attire. His playful smile and eyes brought out an air of youthful innocence.
“So, did you sell a lot of fruit?”
“Weren’t you only going to do that for a year? You’re still doing it?”
Acquaintances who hadn’t seen Seo Jun in a while approached, clinking their glasses with his, and began talking.
Seo Jun knew. Those who study or work hard among those from wealthy families usually don’t fit into such gatherings.
So these people, who flocked around and squandered their family’s wealth, were not of much value.
In fact, a year ago, he was one of those who busily mingled here and there. Seo Jun knew better than anyone.
“It turned out to be fun, so I thought I’d do it a little longer.”
“It’s strange, you. Yoon Seo Jun wasn’t like this. Why are you so passionate about your business?”
Seo Jun chuckled.

Yes, why was I so passionate?
The only person that came to mind was Eun Seo Woo.
It seemed like she was coming home late again today, did she manage to get home by now?
Did she work hard again today? Did she look tired? But, as always, would she smile brightly when our eyes meet?
The only reason Seo Jun stayed in that neighborhood a little longer, just a little longer, was because of Eun Seo Woo. It was solely because of her.
