“Why are you being so sentimental?”
At Yeorun’s words, Kang Hyun-ho’s eyes widened for a moment. It was an expression he never imagined he would see.
Kang Hyun-ho let out a bitter laugh and said, “You’ve changed a lot.”
A smile escaped between Yeorun’s lips. Did he really think she would still yearn for him?
Yeorun picked up her bag and said, “I have nothing more to say to you. Let’s go, Garam.”
As Yeorun stood up, Kang Hyun-ho grabbed her wrist. Yeorun frowned at the pain in her wrist and looked at him.
“What are you doing? There are a lot of people here!”
“So, sit. I have something to say.”
Kang Hyun-ho also hardened his expression and stared at Yeorun. The moment the two exchanged intense gazes.
Suddenly, Se Garam shouted loudly.
“Mr. Kang Hyun-ho, what are you doing to my friend?! Why are you holding her wrist like that?”
As people’s attention focused on her, Kang Hyun-ho, seeming embarrassed, let go of her wrist. Se Garam took this opportunity to take Yeorun away.
Kang Hyun-ho, looking bewildered by the stares directed at him, smiled awkwardly and stood up. However, he couldn’t follow the two with the constant clicking sound of cameras.
Yeorun and Se Garam walked towards a busy main road after leaving the store.
“Oh, seriously. Because of Kang Hyun-ho’s sudden appearance, my mood is ruined. I couldn’t even eat the taco properly!”
Yeorun laughed softly, looking at Se Garam’s complaining. Se Garam glanced at Yeorun and asked.
“But are you okay?”
“Of course. It’s nothing.”
“Really?”
Knowing that Yeorun had a hard time after breaking up with Kang Hyun-ho, Se Garam seemed to be checking if Yeorun was truly okay.
Yeorun reassured Se Garam that she was fine. However, she suddenly felt tired, perhaps because she had focused a little too much on the situation.
“Should we call it a day? I’m so tired.”
“Sure, let’s do that.”
The two of them took taxis and headed home. Yeorun looked out of the taxi window and fell into contemplation.
The words like a dagger that she heard from Kang Hyun-ho. Why did she think it was her fault back then?
Even when she was the same person, there is someone who sees her with affectionate eyes.
‘You sparkle no matter what.’
‘…Wherever you are, I would have found you and loved you.’
As Seol Ji-oh’s voice echoed in her mind, Yeorun suddenly felt a surge of longing.
She missed him too much.
She wanted to meet him, gaze into his affectionate eyes, and be held in his arms.
‘Where are you…’
Yeorun fiddled with her silent phone.
Perhaps after meeting Kang Hyun-ho, the forgotten anxiety quietly raised its head.
The reason she hesitated to start a relationship with Seol Ji-oh.
The anxiety that he might eventually find a woman in a similar world to him, just like Kang Hyun-ho.
But Yeorun soon shook her head.
During the time I met him, I never had such thoughts. It’s because Seol Ji-oh sincerely gave his heart to me.
‘This is all because of Kang Hyun-ho.’
Thinking of that rough face, Yeorun closed her eyes.
Eventually, the taxi stopped in front of her house, and Yeorun paid and got out. Eager to go in and rest, she walked towards the villa entrance, but suddenly someone firmly grabbed her arm.
“……!”
In front of her forcibly turned body stood a tall man. The man wearing a pressed-down hat was Kang Hyun-ho.
“Ugh!”
Yeorun was so surprised and embarrassed that she forcefully shook off the arm he was holding. However, she was no match for the man’s strength.
Yeorun shouted in anger, “What are you doing?”
“You’re not listening to me. But still, you haven’t moved? I didn’t know if I would remember this place, but my body remembers.”
Yeorun turned her head at his attitude, reminiscent of recalling good memories. She didn’t understand why she had to go through this with Kang Hyun-ho.
Yeorun frustratingly said, “Why the heck did you come to my house?”
“Yeorun.”
He swallowed his saliva, then his voice became pitiful.
“Just see me once. I didn’t know how much I regretted breaking up with you. Let’s start again. I’ll do well, okay? Just give me one chance.”
“What are you talking about? It’s been over a year since we broke up. I don’t have any feelings left for you!”
At her words, Kang Hyun-ho opened his mouth in surprise.
“You… forgot about me?”
It was an expression as if such a thing couldn’t happen. Yeorun was so bewildered that she lost her words.
Are you really. Have you completely forgotten the pain I caused you?
In a moment of anger, Yeorun lashed out at him.
“You said I’m embarrassing. You said you can’t even tell people we’re dating! You said you’re tired just looking at my shoes, you!”
“Hey, back then, I was also… difficult.”
“Ha.”
Yeorun laughed absurdly, unable to believe what she was hearing.
At that moment, Kang Hyun-ho, seemingly surprised that she was mocking him, suddenly stiffened his expression.
“Hey, are you getting cocky now? You’re ignoring me just because my popularity isn’t as good as before, what’s this?”
In an irrelevant argument, Yeorun looked at Kang Hyun-ho with a dumbfounded face.
What nonsense is this again?

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…
