As Yeo Woon opened the front door, Seol Ji Oh, having visited once before, casually took a seat at the dining table. Yeo Woon washed her hands and got busy.
Seol Ji Oh quietly observed Yeo Woon as she rummaged through the refrigerator for ingredients and prepared the stew.
“You’re ready to get married.”
At Seol Ji Oh’s words, Yeo Woon snorted as if it was ridiculous. Then, Seol Ji Oh chuckled and jokingly added,
“Do you want to marry me?”
Yeo Woon’s hand momentarily faltered. Despite clearly knowing it was a joke, she was momentarily flustered. Biting her lip with her tongue, Yeo Woon deflected Seol Ji Oh’s joke nonchalantly.
“You’re insincere, insincere. You’re out!”
Yeo Woon, after giving Seol Ji Oh a sideways glance, focused back on her cooking. Seol Ji Oh quietly watched her. His gaze held no hint of amusement, but Yeo Woon, her back turned, failed to notice.
Soon, a decent meal was prepared.
While there were no fancy dishes due to lack of ingredients, the table was filled with soybean paste stew, rolled omelet, freshly mixed chives, and crisply fried zucchini pancakes.
“There’s not much prepared… but eat.”
Feeling somewhat apologetic for the simplicity of the meal once she had laid it out, Yeo Woon wondered if it was okay for the last Korean meal to be this modest.
On the other hand, Seol Ji Oh picked up his spoon with an expectant expression. After tasting a spoonful of stew, he closed his eyes and smiled.
“It’s delicious, Yeo Woon.”
Relieved by his words, Yeo Woon finally picked up her own spoon. After a while, as Seol Ji Oh was enjoying the food, he asked Yeo Woon,
“How was today? It must have been chaotic, right?”
“Yeah. There were so many people, and with constant photos being taken, I couldn’t think straight.”
“But it feels like it’s starting now, right?”
Nodding, Yeo Woon looked into Seol Ji Oh’s face.
In truth, today Seol Ji Oh revealed a presence so massive that the epithet ‘world star’ seemed aptly earned.
Everyone was focused on him, with cameras trained on every one of his movements. It could have been overwhelming, but Seol Ji Oh effortlessly overcame the pressure and displayed a professional demeanor.
Perhaps because of this.
Even though Yeo Woon was now facing Seol Ji Oh, he felt a bit distant. He felt like someone from a different world.
After finishing the meal, Yeo Woon prepared tea. Around the time she started to enjoy the fragrant and sweet scent of vanilla rooibos, Seol Ji Oh opened his mouth.
“Has it been two weeks for us?”
At Seol Ji Oh’s words, Yeo Woon calculated the dates. It seemed about two weeks had passed since the last time she saw him at the camping shoot.
It felt like she hadn’t seen him for over a month.
“Indeed. Time flies.”
“…Why didn’t you contact me?”
As she lifted her head at the quietly asked question, her eyes met with his, staring intently at her.
Why didn’t she contact him…?
Several reasons came to mind, but she couldn’t tell Seol Ji Oh any of them. Yeo Woon swallowed her dry saliva and chose the easiest excuse.
“Well… I figured you’d be busy.”
“You weren’t busy, were you?”
Although the tone was gentle, the content was pressing her.
Yeo Woon, feeling somewhat taken aback, shifted her gaze around.
Was he feeling upset right now?
Unable to find an appropriate response, Yeo Woon was left speechless. However, Seol Ji Oh hadn’t contacted her either.
He hadn’t reached out either, why was he asking her only…
“I waited for your contact.”
Yeo Woon’s movements stopped for a moment. She doubted if she had heard correctly.
He waited for my contact? Why…?
Seol Ji Oh was silent for a moment, staring at Yeo Woon who was blinking in surprise. While Yeo Woon was flustered, not knowing what to say, Seol Ji Oh opened his mouth.
“I’m going to Macao tomorrow, don’t you have something to say?”
Watching Seol Ji Oh with an unreadable expression, Yeo Woon swallowed her saliva. What was he expecting her to say?
However, all she could muster was,
“…Take care and have a safe trip.”
The moment he heard Yeo Woon’s response, a sigh escaped from Seol Ji Oh’s lips.
Seol Ji Oh, who burst out in empty laughter, lowered his gaze and stared at his teacup.
You’re going to avoid me till the end…
Seol Ji Oh’s lips fell. Seol Ji Oh, who was meaninglessly swiping his fingers over the teacup, hesitated for a moment.
Should I wait a bit more?
Is it right to keep waiting endlessly for Yeo Woon, who constantly tries to escape from me?
After having that thought, a suppressed sigh erupted from Seol Ji Oh’s lips.
I can’t bear it anymore.
Seol Ji Oh lifted his eyes and looked at Yeo Woon. With a gaze that was nothing but clear and distinct.
“Can you handle not seeing me for a month?”
“…Huh?”
“I don’t think I can. I don’t think I’ll be okay at all.”
“What are you…”
“I thought I was going insane while you were avoiding me.”
Yeo Woon’s pupils shook. Did something change in him during the month that she recognized her feelings for Seol Ji Oh and was avoiding him?
Yeo Woon’s heart began to pound heavily.

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.
