To You Who Found Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
“Hye Yoon, the school uniform suits you so well.”
“Maybe it’s because I’m short.”
“Aww, that can’t be it. It suits you because you’re pretty.”
Multiple school uniforms were draped over Hye Yoon standing in front of the mirror. Manager, standing beside her, kept watching Hye Yoon contentedly each time she layered another uniform over her petite frame, and Hye Yoon quietly took in her radiant expression.
Sincere fondness was clearly visible even through a mirror like this.
“All the uniforms suit you really well, so just pick whichever you like… Should we take your measurements?”
“Yes.”
The measuring tape in Manager’s hand lengthened as she set down the uniform. With each of her light gestures, Hye Yoon adjusted her posture and matched her breathing.
“Oh, you’ve got quite some volume here?”
“I’ve never really thought about it like that…”
The measuring tape looped around Hye Yoon’s chest slowly unwound. The chatter of women outside had stopped sometime ago. Hye Yoon figured they’d probably all gone into rooms marked with different numbers.
“For someone with such a small frame, you’re nicely curvy, Hye Yoon.”
“Actually… it’s partly thanks to my underwear.”
“Hahaha. Really? Even accounting for that, you definitely have a lovely figure—hips included.”
Alone in the room, yet Hye Yoon still glanced around shyly before leaning close to whisper her confession. Manager found every bit of Hye Yoon’s energy utterly adorable—so much so that she wondered if she’d keep a daughter like this by her side forever.
“Then I’ll go with the smallest uniform size and just slightly adjust the lines. Since you’re playing a plain student, we’ll make sure it doesn’t look styled.”
“Yes. I’ll leave it to you.”
Hye Yoon fumbled with her bag as she prepared to leave the room.
“I’ll definitely watch the drama when it airs. I wonder how well you two will match.”
Hye Yoon, already at the door, turned back and blinked sweetly at the humming voice. A bubbling sense of shyness welled up inside her—this kind of expectation felt embarrassingly sweet.
Manager smiled even more broadly but held back the words, “Hye Yoon, you’re really cute,” choosing instead to convey it through her smile alone. She worried even the kindest compliments might weigh down that sweet woman who’d surely been showered with affection from everyone.
As Hye Yoon opened the door, the faded brown sofa in the waiting room came into view. But there were now even more people than before. She’d assumed it was empty because it was quiet, yet even the women who’d been whispering about her were still seated exactly where they’d been.
She was just about to look away from the sofa, thinking nothing of it.
“…Huh?”
“Done already?”
But seeing someone she absolutely couldn’t ignore erased her plans without a trace.
Ji Ho slowly rose from the sofa. Navy cap, white sweatshirt, faded jeans, light sneakers—a casual outfit you’d see anywhere, yet somehow commanding full attention. He looked that radiant.
His fitted T-shirt traced his broad shoulders down to his collarbones and clung tautly to his chest yet left his lean waist looking relaxed. His firm thigh muscles flexed subtly inside his jeans with each step he took.
She could feel everyone’s intense curiosity. They all seemed eager to eavesdrop on what the two of them might say.
“Oh my, Ji Ho! It’s been a while!”
When the unwelcome attention made her tongue heavy, Manager, standing close behind Hye Yoon, greeted Ji Ho first. Ji Ho smiled and nodded politely.
“Have you been well?”
“Of course. Ji Ho, you really have no limits to your looks. I thought you couldn’t possibly get any more handsome—but why are you here? For uniforms?”
“Yes. Might as well do it while I’m here.”
A familiar, comforting scent drifted from Ji Ho as he stepped within an arm’s length.
The clear sky outside Ji Ho’s apartment, the Han River shimmering like scattered diamonds—all flashed before Hye Yoon’s eyes. It smelled just like the body wash she’d used that day. Embarrassed for no reason, she lowered her gaze.
“Oh, you came because you had plans with Hye Yoon? Then come in quickly and let’s just take your measurements.”
“Sure.”
Manager turned and walked back in, leaving only the two of them facing each other just beyond the doorway.
‘I should greet Ji Ho before I go, right?’
Hye Yoon’s mind raced. With so many onlookers, pretending they weren’t close felt awkward. Saying “I’ll go first” seemed odd, and “See you next time” even more so.
What kind of couple would talk like that?
Her thoughts weighed heavily as she slowly lifted her head. The higher her eyes rose, the more brilliantly his handsome face filled her view. Ji Ho’s expression above his white T-shirt looked strangely cheerful.
“I think you’re done thinking now…”
Ji Ho lightly brushed his lower lip with his bent index finger, hiding a smile as if he knew exactly what she felt. Hye Yoon was certain he’d had the same thoughts—but why couldn’t he stay as composed as she tried to be? It felt a little unfair.
In an instant, he placed something into her hand.
‘…Isn’t this a smart key?’
Hye Yoon met Ji Ho’s eyes in quiet bewilderment. Beneath the small shadow cast by his cap brim, his deep gaze—focused solely on her—felt suddenly heavy.
“Go wait in the car. I’ll be down right away.”
She thought only his eyes had grown intense, but his voice had also dropped slightly.
She understood well enough and should’ve just left, yet her mouth hung open soundlessly like someone struck dumb. Ji Ho quietly stepped aside for her.
No need for words—just walk.
Her heartbeat raced as fast as if she’d split each of her footsteps into ten tiny, hurried steps. The eyes following her didn’t help either. The key Ji Ho had handed her grew warm.
And just as her hand reached the costume room door—the final barrier—
“Hye Yoon.”
He called her name so tenderly. For the first time.
Hye Yoon couldn’t quite recall how to turn around naturally. She swallowed hard. Exhaled a short breath. Hesitated. Hesitated. Hesitated. Her head turned stiffly like a broken doll’s.
“While you’re waiting, think about what you want for dinner.”
That unbearable awkwardness pulled at her heart once again. Ji Ho teased her a little more playfully—sometimes you just can’t resist gently provoking someone so adorably frustrated, like a crying child you love too much.
A smile spread across Ji Ho’s lips as he turned and walked back inside.
“Ji Ho, your body’s even better than it was two years ago.”
“Must be from weight training.”
“Yeah. Your shoulders are broader, and your chest too. Glad I came.”
Manager jotted down the numbers she’d measured. She was excited—imagining his appearance five years from now, ten, even further. He’d surely surpass even this seemingly perfect level of handsomeness, just as he always had every year.
‘By middle age, he’ll exude such dense masculinity… I can’t even picture it.’
Shaking her head in amazement, she dismissed the thought.
“By the way, Ji Ho—want to look at some uniforms too? Hye Yoon just picked hers. Since you two are from different schools, the designs need to differ, so we’ve got several samples.”
“Give me the plainest one. Something that won’t stand out.”
The thought ‘If you want to stay unnoticed, aren’t you the worst possible miscast, Ji Ho?’ popped up, but she shook her head again to brush it aside. Her eyes landed on the darkest, blandest boys’ uniform available.
“Oh, is that what your role calls for?”
“Yes. Mine should also be slightly oversized and loose, like hand-me-downs. And as much as possible…”
His calm, steady tone faltered briefly. But only for a moment.
“…Make sure Hye Yoon stands out more than I do.”
“Wow, going this far? Ji Ho, your dating style is seriously manly!”
“It’s what the role calls for.”
Manager rolled her eyes, but since it wasn’t actually a lie, he held his head a little higher.
Ji Ho savored Hye Yoon’s name on his tongue. Simply saying it, and even the brief moment it lingered in his mouth before speaking, brought him complete satisfaction.
“By the way, before you came—everyone kept whispering about Hye Yoon so much that I cleared my throat loudly when I walked in.”
“…I see.”
He understood the situation well enough. When he’d entered the fitting room earlier, people hadn’t even noticed him, still deep in their drawn-out gossip—only snapping their mouths shut once they finally made eye contact. They must’ve talked even more when he wasn’t around.
‘How did that tiny girl endure it?’
Ji Ho’s gaze dropped to the distant floor. The sweet feeling inside him might not be his alone—and that thought left a faint bitterness spreading through his heart.
“Oh dear, if I open the door and find tears streaming down your face…”
“Did I cry?”
Ji Ho snapped his head toward her, unable to let reason restrain his emotions at the mere thought of her crying.
“No. I came in expecting to find you crying, but guess what? She just pricked up her ears, listened carefully to everything, then suddenly got furious—clenched her fists and stomped her feet on the floor!”
“Ah…”
He quietly bit his lower lip. The image came through all too clearly—how wide-eyed that childlike girl must’ve been, how tightly she’d clenched her already tiny hands, how adorably her plump lower lip must’ve jutted out.
“…She must’ve looked like an angry squirrel.”
“Exactly! That’s spot-on.”
Laughing together, they stepped out of the room. Not wanting to keep pre-date couples waiting, Manager waved Ji Ho off with a dismissive flap of her hand. His footsteps grew light as he bowed slightly and descended the building.
Thud
The moment the car door opened, happiness brushed against his nose. Ji Ho thought again how scent always hit faster than sight. Hye Yoon’s fragrance filled the car, subtly yet deeply absorbed in just twenty minutes—he found it impressively endearing.
Her figure looked so delicate he wondered if car seats had always been this big.
“Oh, this…”
Perhaps out of awkwardness, she offered the key with both hands, carefully handing it over so their fingertips barely brushed.
“Were you startled earlier? Was I too brazen?”
“Not at all! I just… knew I should say something, but my mouth wouldn’t move…”
One white lie saying she wasn’t startled, one honest truth admitting she couldn’t speak—Hye Yoon was half-truthful, half-imitating those people in the waiting room who’d only ever halfway matched their words.
Ji Ho pressed the ignition button and turned on the music. As a rhythmically soothing tune played, Hye Yoon’s tension seemed to ease, her head bobbing drowsily.
“So, did you think about it?”
“…Think about what?”
“What to eat for dinner.”
“Huh? You were serious about that?”
Her head stopped mid-bob, eyes wide and lively as she turned toward Ji Ho in surprise.
Enclosed in the car, surrounded by that intoxicating scent, seated just a handspan away with her warm brown eyes fixed on him—sunset light shimmered inside them, as if autumn had reached its peak.
This time, Ji Ho looked away first.
“…Because there are still things we need to talk about.”
If he kept staring, he feared he’d cross a line—whether of heart or body.

really disliked him
