A flash of light occurred in the sky over the distant ocean. Startled by the sound of thunder, Ji An screamed loudly.
“Dad!”
As she clenched her fists and covered her face, the chopsticks split obliquely in both directions.
It was as if she was about to perform a chopstick swordsmanship.
Dan Woo chuckled lightly as Ji An, squatting on the floor, hunched her shoulders.
“Pfft.”
The pitchblack night sky lit up again with a flash, followed by a louder thunderclap.
“Ahh. Ha Joon.”
Ji An, who had been crouching, fell flat to the floor. She opened her mouth in a trembling voice.
“So, I was.”
The frightened little back was fully reflected in Dan Woo’s eyes.
The gazes of Dan Woo and Tae Yun collided in midair.
That’s because they didn’t know why the woman was in this house and had no choice but to wait for the next words.
Ji An’s voice, trying hard to be louder, continued.
“I mean, with the weather like this, I can’t kick you two out, and there seems to have been some misunderstanding.”
“……?”
She raised her body to face the two men.
Dan Woo, who was willing to listen to some extent, stepped back and leaned against the wall with his arms crossed.
“Go on.”
“The owner here hasn’t been answering the phone. I’m here for a onemonth stay. I’ve already paid. May I ask how long you two are planning to stay?”
“So, right now.”
“Yes.”
Dan Woo, who faintly guessed the ins and outs of the situation, asked quietly.
“So you’re saying you’re going to live here for a month?”
Dan Woo recalled what Tae Yun had said.
‘It was a detached house used for onemonth stays, and I bought it because it was on urgent sale.’
He bit his lip and muttered softly to Tae Yun.
“You said you changed the password.”
“Oh, that’s because I was planning to change the machine. I guess I forgot to change it.”
As Tae Yun covered his lips and responded, Dan Woo pushed his back forward.
Startling Tae Yun, he pressed him with a cool stare and said,
“This is the person. The owner here.”
“Huh?”
“Me?”
Tae Yun, who responded simultaneously with Ji An, questioned Dan Woo with a glare in his eyes.
“So, I’m the owner here?”
Dan Woo, who nodded nonchalantly, asked.
“Yes. Explain, please. I’d like to know what’s going on.”
Tae Yun straightened up with a fake cough.
Presumably, he was taking responsibility for not changing the password of the door lock.
He had conducted the contract as an agent when buying this house, and he was the one who was acquainted with the former owner.
Fiddling with the sleeve of his shirt, he awkwardly opened his mouth.
“It seems like there’s been a misunderstanding.”
Ji An put down her chopsticks and asked Tae Yun.
“When I entered the password you taught me, the front door opened. So I thought it was the house I had contracted for.”
“Oh! Yes.”
“I tried calling you from the airport, but you didn’t answer. Was there a problem?”
“No. Not yet… So you even called.”
Tae Yun, who was asked by Ji An, exhaled deeply and raised his hand. It meant to wait a moment.
He meant he hadn’t taken the call.
The former owner didn’t even answer Tae Yun’s call, confirming his suspicion.
“Did you book online?”
“Yes.”
“The truth is, I’m the new owner here. I did take over, but it seems there has been an unexpected mistake.”
At his words, Ji An, whose situation had changed, asked in surprise.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Tae Yun, who looked awkwardly at his phone, asked Ji An for understanding and pointed over the low wall to the separate building.
“Could you please wait a moment? The contract is in the separate building. I think I need to make a call to find out.”
“Yes. Alright.”
Dan Woo left Tae Yun, who was adding lies to the truth, alone.
It was a situation where he couldn’t just kick a woman out in weather with thunder and lightning.
As Tae Yun crossed over to the separate building, leaving only Dan Woo and Ji An, an awkward silence lingered in the house.
In Dan Woo’s view towards the sofa, a pot of ramen on the island and dried up pork belly were visible.
‘The situation has gotten weird, but I should at least finish the meal.’
He pointed to the table with his finger and spoke to Ji An.
“Now that it’s come to this, let’s finish the meal.”
“Huh? Ah, yes.”
Twice, lightning lit up the night sky of Jeju, and each time, Ji An held her head with both hands.
Only when the noise died down, she finally took a long breath.
She, who sat facing the island dining table by turning the stool, glanced at the man.
While covering her bulging lips from chewing with the back of her hand, Ji An asked.
“Um. I feel like I’ve seen your eyes somewhere.”
As Dan Woo’s hand stopped typing on the laptop keyboard, Ji An hurriedly added her next words.
“Don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I have other intentions, your face is familiar, but my memory is fuzzy. Do you remember me by any chance?”
Dan Woo, who had folded his arms forward, turned to look at Ji An.
She gently shook the stool she was sitting on and blinked her eyebrows.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
