After a while, the hairdryer stopped, and Je Ho turned her chair around. Opening her eyes, Yul Li found herself face-to-face with Je Ho, who had knelt down to meet her eye level.
“Alright, your hair is dry. Now it’s time for you to get scolded.”
Je Ho glared sternly as he spoke.
Scolded, for what?
Yul Li’s eyes widened in confusion.
“Are you crazy? What if you got a heart attack? The pool heater wasn’t even on…”
His voice trembled slightly, betraying his anger.
While Yul Li doubted she was close to a heart attack, it was true that the water had been bone-chillingly cold. Yet, she would have dived in anyway, knowing the risk. It was understandable for Je Ho to be upset. After all, he would be responsible for any accident.
“I’m sorry.”
Yul Li genuinely apologized, head bowed.
“I didn’t mean to cause trouble for you.”
“It’s not about that! Do you have any idea how I felt, seeing you trembling in the water like a drenched puppy?”
Je Ho spoke as if they were back in their childhood, treating her like a little kid. Instead of arguing, Yul Li chuckled softly. Being scolded didn’t seem so bad now that she had found the necklace.
“But I found this.”
She dangled the necklace in front of him. It twinkled beautifully in the light.
“I thought I had lost it forever. I’m so relieved I found it.”
As Yul Li playfully swung the necklace, a sigh of disbelief escaped Je Ho.
“Are you laughing now?”
It felt like she had also returned a decade back. Words she couldn’t say back then naturally slipped out.
“Thank you so much, Je Ho oppa.”
It was a term she hadn’t dared to use before. But today, elated by finding the necklace, she mustered the courage. Oppa, Je Ho oppa.
Yul Li smiled shyly, unaware that her simple words had released a torrent of emotions in him.
“Damn.”
Je Ho cursed softly, his eyes blazing as he looked at her.
“If you’re thanking me, I should properly accept it.”
His large hand cradled the back of her head and gently pulled her closer, a fresh citrus scent invading her senses. Her heartbeat quickened.
Expecting a fierce kiss, she was surprised when his lips barely brushed hers, yet the fleeting contact was intensely stimulating. Her vision blurred and head spun, forcing her to grasp his shoulders tightly.
“Damn, you really are something…”
Exhaling sharply, Je Ho caressed her cheeks, whispered softly, and then stood up, walking out of the bedroom.
Left alone, Yul Li put her hand over her racing heart, catching her breath. Turning to the mirror, she saw herself – hair tousled, face flushed with warmth, eyes sparkling with life. It was like seeing her vibrant, love-filled self from ten years ago.
As she remembered climbing over the wall in a skirt to meet him and their first encounter when he blurted out informal language, treating her like a kid, Yul Li gently touched her lips with her fingertips. The heat from Je Ho’s touch still lingered vividly. Thinking back to the feeling of his lips, a shiver ran through her body again.
She knew it was a forbidden act, but she didn’t want to regret it. Even if he kissed her again, she wasn’t sure she could resist. Because…
Yul Li bit her lower lip, clutching her aching heart. Her foolish heart was pounding wildly for him.
Drawn by the delicious smell, Yul Li went outside to find Je Ho cooking. Realizing she hadn’t eaten anything while searching for the necklace, she suddenly felt famished. As Yul Li approached, Je Ho gestured towards the dining table.
“You haven’t eaten anything yet, have you? Have something. I haven’t had my meal yet either.”
His tone had returned to polite formal speech, no longer the Je Ho from 10 years ago. Feeling a sense of distance but not showing it, Yul Li took a seat where he pointed.
“I’ve prepared something light, so it won’t be hard on the stomach considering the late hour.”
Je Ho said as he placed a bowl of soup in front of her. Yul Li silently gazed at the clear chicken noodle soup.
What should I do?
She still couldn’t eat hot food. Yul Li stared at the soup without touching it, prompting a puzzled look from Je Ho.
“Don’t you like chicken noodle soup? Should I make something else?”
“No, it’s not that.”
Yul Li hurriedly scooped some soup with a spoon, blowing on it to cool it down before cautiously taking a sip. But as soon as she did, a sharp pain like being pricked by needles surged. She grimaced and put the spoon down, and Je Ho stood up and approached her.
“What’s wrong?”
He held her chin with a worried expression.
“It’s just…”
Before Yul Li could respond properly, his face darkened.
“Did you get hit again?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
