Hyun’s dream was to make desserts in France. His skill in making desserts was outstanding enough for professors at school to envy him.
Originally, Hyun had no plans to return to Korea. However, he was in Korea.
Ha-yeon was consumed by guilt. She even began to think that Hyun returned to Korea because of her betrayal.
The guilt of ruining Hyun’s dream tormented her relentlessly. So, even though it was belated, she wanted to help Hyun. She couldn’t send him back to France, but she wanted to provide assistance to help his shop grow much more than it currently could.
“And how did things end up like this?”
Overwhelmed by despair, Ha-yeon staggered. She gestured to stop the secretary approaching her.
‘The situation that began with kindness has turned them into a corner. How should I salvage this situation? I don’t want to be resented.’
If Hyun were to know the truth, how much would he resent and hate… Ha-yeon felt her head spinning.
‘Back then, I should have honestly explained to CEO Choi. That I am in the process of acquiring the Memorya building and the surrounding area. But don’t worry. You can continue to operate the Memorya Yeonnam Branch as it is now, and if you want a larger store, I should have mentioned that I could provide it.’
Ha-yeon was overwhelmed by belated regret.
While there was a bit of personal interest, Ha-yeon also was one of those who hoped for Memorya’s growth. Until she learned the truth, Ha-yeon could confidently speak for herself.
“What should I do?”
In an unsalvageable situation, Ha-yeon’s head throbbed.
The next morning,
The previous night, Arin talked with Hyun over the phone all night.
A conclusion was reached.
Let’s endure until we can’t endure anymore!
It was an ambiguous conclusion, but for now, it was the best way to look for another store location.
As Arin entered the bathroom, the pink phone on the table vibrated.
Manager Min Ha-yeon
“Manager? What’s going on so early in the morning.”
Arin checked the caller and quickly pressed the call button.
“Yes. Manager.”
[CEO, is it okay to talk now?]“Oh, yes. What’s the matter?”
[Are you in Seoul right now? Can you spare some time this morning?]“Today?”
[Yes. Today.]Arin was taken aback.
“Oh, I have somewhere to go today. It might be difficult for me today….”
[Sorry. I won’t take up much of your time. I need to meet you before you go to the place you’re headed.]Arin found Ha-yeon’s urgent behavior perplexing.
‘She’s not the type to beg like this.’
Even though it was a short time, Ha-yeon herself was a woman who was sensible and strictly distinguished between work and personal matters.
Her behavior was strange, and it felt like there was a reason behind it.
“Alright.”
[Thank you. I’ll head to the Yeonnam-dong area. Is 10:30 okay?]“Yes.”
[Also, I’m really sorry. Can we keep our meeting a secret from Hyun?]“What?”
[I’ll explain everything when we meet.]Arin stared at the disconnected phone for a long time.
“Something doesn’t feel right….”
And Arin’s feeling was accurate.
Two hours later,
Arin sat facing Ha-yeon.
Dark circles were pronounced under Ha-yeon’s eyes, probably from a restless sleep.
“I’m sorry. I forced you too much. I have something important to tell the CEO.”
Smiling awkwardly, Ha-yeon spoke.
“No, what’s going on?”
“Actually, I think I need to ask for forgiveness from the CEO.”
“What?”
Arin was taken aback by Ha-yeon’s words.
“I’m really sorry.”
Arin found Ha-yeon’s sudden bowing and apologetic gesture perplexing.
“What do you mean…”
“I purchased the Memorya building.”
“What?”
“I also purchased the building next to it.”
However, Arin lost her words at Ha-yeon’s continued explanation.
Arin’s ears buzzed as she tried to comprehend what Ha-yeon was saying.
Ha-yeon, who had been fidgeting with her fingers, continued in a weak voice.
“If I start with my excuse, I thought the CEOs had a good conversation with the new CEO. I didn’t know they would send Memorya away.”
“…”
“My plan was to let the CEOs continue running the Memorya Yeonnam Branch. If you and Hyun want to continue there, you can. And if you want to move, you can relocate to a place I own. I’m sorry it turned out like this.”
Arin couldn’t hide her confusion at the sudden torrent of words.
“W-wait a moment, Manager. I’m confused because I suddenly heard so much.”
Arin quickly organized Ha-yeon’s previous words.
“So, we are being kicked out because the manager purchased the building? But why does the manager say that if Memorya moves, she will provide the new location?”
As Arin grasped the situation, Ha-yeon seemed different.
There was only one reason why she would do such a thing. Arin knew it but demanded an answer from Ha-yeon.
“Manager.”
“…I’m sorry, CEO.”
Min Ha-yeon, the former lover of Yoo Hyun.
‘Is it because of Yoo Hyun oppa? That’s why… you did this?’
Ha-yeon couldn’t forget Yoo Hyun.
In Ha-yeon’s gaze, there was full of lingering feelings. That look was so similar to how Jaehyuk used to look at her in the past, making it unmistakable.
But Yoo Hyun remained indifferent with a cold attitude, making it clear that he harbored no feelings for Ha-yeon.
Arin thought Ha-yeon might have drawn a line more strictly to respect Yoo Hyun. That’s why Arin felt uneasy seeing Ha-yeon acting like this.
‘No, this isn’t right. For the sake of Yoo Hyun oppa, you shouldn’t act so recklessly and make things difficult. No matter how it started with kindness, you shouldn’t make the other person uncomfortable.’
In the overwhelming emotions, Arin clenched her small fist.
Looking at Ha-yeon, memories of the past with Jaehyuk surged, perhaps making it more uncomfortable for Arin.

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.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
①Male pregnancy (highlighted)
