Even after a while of entering the office, Ji Hoon was looking at Ha Joon, who was sitting across from him with his arms crossed.
“Why didn’t you tell me you knew Su Ah?”
Ji Hoon’s gaze was sharp as if he was looking at a lover who had been caught cheating.
“I only found out today that Ms. Su Ah is working at your convenience store.”
“How did you find out?”
“……”
At Ji Hoon’s question, Ha Joon was momentarily speechless. He couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation about Su Ah.
“We first met on the mountain. Then we accidentally met again at the hospital where the chairman was admitted. That’s all.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes, that’s all.”
Ji Hoon’s eyes narrowed. It was a look of suspicion.
“Think what you want. I have no intention of explaining to someone who doesn’t want to believe.”
Even if his mouth was twisted, he should speak straight. It’s not that he doesn’t want to believe, but he can’t believe it.
Who was Min Ha Joon?
Wasn’t he someone who never mingled with women, and was so rigid even to women he met for business, to the point of embarrassment?
Such Min Ha Joon not only conversed naturally but even laughed. Just someone he happened to meet?
You want me to believe that now?
Ji Hoon, who was about to ask him to speak honestly once more, quickly shut his mouth at Ha Joon’s cold expression.

“I’ll take out the side dishes, so wait a bit.”
Resigned, he was about to take out the side dishes from the refrigerator when…
“Ah! I remember.”
Ji Hoon’s eyes widened as he approached Ha Joon.
“What?”
What nonsense is he about to spew now?
Ha Joon, who was sitting on the sofa looking around the office, had a sour expression.
“Could this Su Ah be that Su Ah?”
“What are you…!”
Could it be. Has he caught on? Ha Joon’s pupils lost balance and wobbled.
It was Ji Hoon who had encountered Su Ah several times at the hospital, guarding Ha Joon’s side 20 years ago.
Even after that, he knew that whenever Ha Joon was sick, he would call Su Ah’s name.
The name Su Ah was so common that he never thought of it when hiring her.
At Ha Joon’s current reaction, Ji Hoon was certain.
“Big news. You finally met? Min Ha Joon’s first love!”
Unable to contain his excitement, Ji Hoon raised his voice.

“First, first love! It’s not like that!”
A flustered Ha Joon stammered.
“Do you know Su Ah? You don’t, do you? Well, there’s no way you would have told her. Even now, if you speak…!”
“No!”
Ha Joon grabbed Ji Hoon’s wrist at a speed faster than light.
“Why?”
“Just try telling Ms. Su Ah. Then you really….”
His voice was cold. Ha Joon’s hand, gripping the caught wrist, tensed as if to break it.
“I get it. I said I get it. My wrist is about to break.”
“Ah. I’m, I’m sorry….”
Unknowingly, I just… Ha Joon quickly loosened his grip.
“So. What’s your plan for the future?”
While rubbing his red wrist, Ji Hoon asked.
“Plan? What plan?”
“What are you going to do with Su Ah in the future?”
“I haven’t thought about that yet.”
Sigh. Of course. There’s no way Min Ha Joon, who has never dated, would have a plan.
“You, jerk. You should have told me about this immediately. Don’t worry! From now on, you just trust me!”
Ji Hoon tapped Ha Joon’s shoulder with a leisurely smile.
Certainly, that wasn’t his intention. But why does that smile feel so irritating?
“Min Ji Hoon. You’re having a lot of fun right now, aren’t you?”
“No?”
“Really? But why do I feel like your face says you’re having fun?”
“It’s not fun, but touching. The emotion of reuniting with your pure first love.”
Ji Hoon pushed his face closer, once again urging him to look carefully.

At a face where he could find neither emotion nor sincerity, but only malice.
Yes. Why would I talk to you? I should hold my tongue.
Ha Joon swung his hand in the air as if he didn’t want to see, and soon sighed deeply.
After a while.
“Ha Joon. I’ve got a great idea.”
Ji Hoon, who seemed to be pondering something while preparing side dishes, suddenly slapped his knee.
“No. Don’t think. Put that thought back.”
Ha Joon shook his head slightly to cut off his words.
“What do you think I’m thinking? Listen. I’ve found a way that’s natural but certain.”
“Natural… what?”
“Do you think I, the love doctor, can’t solve this much? Just trust and follow me.”
Somehow, Ha Joon had a bad feeling about his confident appearance.
“Su Ah. I think I can’t come out for two days next Saturday and Sunday because I have a store manager training.”
Ji Hoon, who had left the office, called Su Ah and told her.
“Store manager training?”
“Yes. Training suddenly came up. So, I think it would be difficult for you to work alone, so I found someone to help me instead.”
“Who is it? Is it a weekday parttimer?”
“No. It’s Ha Joon.”
“Pardon?”
At the unexpected name, Su Ah showed a surprised expression.
A little earlier, inside the office.

“Get to know each other a little more for two days. After that, whether it’s a meal or drinks, I’ll take responsibility for setting up the situation.”
That was Ji Hoon’s recommended method, claiming it to be natural and certain.

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…
