“Every time I see you, my heart is shaken… So, I was planning to go to a place where you couldn’t find me.”
“…”
“I heard from a guide senior I used to work with. He said he’s looking for help from someone he knows in Slovenia. I decided to go, and we were supposed to take the morning train today. He said he would pick me up, but I forgot.”
In an instant, a face flashed through Jinwook’s mind, and his brow furrowed. Hoping his intuition was wrong, he asked.
“Is that senior the guy named Song Minwoo that I saw last time?”
Yeonju widened her eyes as if trying to figure out how he guessed.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“…”
Jinwook’s expression hardened even more. He didn’t like him from the first meeting, and now Yeonju was planning to send her somewhere with him…
Whether Jinwook’s insides were boiling or not, Yeonju, perhaps aware or unaware of it, walked toward the direction of the room with her phone and said.

“We probably arrived at the station already… Anyway, I need to call the senior first.”
Then she closed the door.
He wanted to ask why she had to close the door to make a call, but Jinwook, suppressing his emotions, swallowed the cold water.
Yeonju came out of the room after finishing the call with Minwoo.
Jinwook was still sitting at the table, sipping his coffee. Glancing at Yeonju coming out of the room, he asked casually.
“Is the call over?”
He asked, knowing it was over. He was curious about what they talked about.
Sitting in front of him with a small sigh, Yeonju spoke.
“Yes. It seems he was already at the station. I explained my situation, but I think I need to meet him in person and talk again.”
“You could have talked over the phone. Was it necessary to meet him again in person?”

Jinwook said with an unpleasant tone. However, Yeonju, with a determined look, spoke.
“Senior and Minah unni are people who have helped me like family while I stayed here. Naturally, I should meet them and say goodbye before leaving.”
“…”
“We planned to meet at the house altogether later. You can go back to Korea first. I’ll join you as soon as possible…”
“Wait.”
Jinwook, feeling something peculiar in Yeonju’s words, questioned.
“You planned to meet everyone at the house?”
“Yes. It’s their house, the most comfortable place, and I have some remaining belongings to organize, so I need to go there.”
“Their house…?”
“Minah unni and senior are family, so naturally, they live in the same house.”

“…”
“…Didn’t you know? I thought you knew already.”
He didn’t know. He had thought Yeonju had spent time only with Minah, and he never imagined that Song Minwoo also lived with them.
The fact that Yeonju had planned to escape to another place today was a bigger shock than the realization. Unable to hide his confusion, Jinwook asked again.
“Well… Was that guy, Song Minwoo, also living together with you?”
“The expression ‘living together’ might be a bit much… Anyway, yes, the senior and I stayed together.”
“…”
“I can guess what you’re thinking, but don’t worry. There was nothing suspicious between the senior and me. And the senior always slept in the workshop, so it was no different from living separately.”
No matter what Yeonju said, it didn’t register in Jinwook’s mind. Just the idea of Yeonju and Minwoo spending time together under the same roof made him feel uneasy and unbearable.
When Jinwook’s expression didn’t seem to improve, Yeonju asked subtly.
“Really, the senior and I don’t have the kind of relationship you’re thinking of.”

“…”
“You don’t really doubt what I’m saying, do you?”
“I believe you.”
Yeonju believes him. She just can’t bring herself to believe the guy with the rooster-like appearance.
Yeonju sensed the gloomy atmosphere from Jinwook and sat down beside him. Considering his perspective, she understood that he might not be in a good mood. The fact that he planned to leave for another place today would have been quite shocking.
Looking at him tenderly, Yeonju spoke, “I understand that your heart is upset. But the reason I honestly told you everything is because I don’t want to hide anything from you in the future.”
“…”
“I tried to leave last night, but in the end, I came to your side like this. Don’t worry about the past.”
Yeonju gently placed her hand on top of his, trying to console him. Jinwook, observing her, calmly said, “Yeah. What matters now is that you are by my side. Let’s not care about the past.”
Upon hearing this, Yeonju smiled gratefully. “Thank you for saying that.”
Jinwook also responded with a relaxed smile. Although it seemed to pass smoothly on the surface, inwardly, he was deeply troubled.

The thought that Yeonju was planning to leave for another place today was dizzying. Just thinking about it made him feel uneasy, and he was even contemplating whether he should secretly install a tracking device or something.
As he struggled with his burning emotions, Yeonju stood up from her seat. “I should be able to receive the laundry service soon. I should start getting ready to go out.”
“Now?”
“Yes. I arranged for someone to come to the house by 10:30.”
Seeing Yeonju heading toward the dressing table, Jinwook also stood up. “I’ll go with you.”
Yeonju, holding a comb in front of the dressing table, said, “I’m going to Seoul first. Everyone is worried, you know?”
“Even if you go to Seoul, I’ll go with you. I’ll help you pack, so let’s go together.”
How could he let her go alone when he was the one who held onto her? Above all, he couldn’t bear the thought of Minwoo and Yeonju being together in a place where he wasn’t.
Pressing the hotel intercom to receive the entrusted clothes, Jinwook waited for the staff’s response and spoke to Yeonju, “And about the people you’ve helped so far.”
With a gentle smile, Yeonju replied, “I also need to personally express my gratitude.”
