The tteokbokki might get cold, but since he doesn’t eat hot food much anyway, Soo-young thought it would be fine even if it cooled down a bit. With this in mind, she leisurely entered the upscale apartment complex where Woo-jin lived.
Just as she was about to get off the elevator, the door to the apartment opened, and the person referred to as ‘the representative’ came out. Seeing Soo-young, he exclaimed with joy.
“Oh? Joo-young!”
Who’s Joo-young?… Soo-young awkwardly smiled and corrected him.
“It’s Soo-young. Kim Soo-young.”
“Ah, Soo-young, Soo-young. I misspoke, sorry.”
He cheerfully corrected himself and glanced at his watch.
“You’re early today. If you’re not busy, would you mind having a chat with me just outside?”
“Me? Ah, yes…”
Despite the tteokbokki possibly becoming cold or even exploding, she couldn’t refuse because of it, so she followed Ji-hyun back into the elevator.
Sitting on a bench in the park in front of the apartment complex, Ji-hyun pulled out an energy drink from his briefcase and offered it to her.
“Want one? They’re tasty.”
“Oh! This is what my grandma used to give me when I visited her as a child. They still make these?”
“Yes. They’re really effective when you feel low on energy.”
“Do you often feel low on energy?”
“After meeting the house owner, I always feel drained…”
Without needing further explanation, Soo-young seemed to understand and didn’t ask more. Ji-hyun opened the drink and took a big gulp, then smiled and said,
“I heard you had ramen with Woo-jin yesterday?”
“Yes? Oh, yes…”
Worried about being scolded for feeding him, Soo-young was relieved when Ji-hyun unexpectedly expressed concern.
“Are you okay? Did it burn you?”
“How did you know about that?”
Soo-young, the one being asked, sounded more surprised in her response.
“Ah, did it really burn you? Woo-jin said it seemed like it, are you okay?”
Before leaving the house yesterday, Woo-jin had casually handed her a T-shirt, asking if the soup had splashed on her and offering it for her to change. Soo-young had been surprised; despite his blunt words, he was unexpectedly considerate. But she didn’t think he knew about the burn.
“It’s curious…”
Murmuring to herself, Soo-young caught Ji-hyun’s attention, who teased,
“He seems like a regular guy, right? He’s really smart. You wouldn’t know because of his temper. But really, are you okay with the burn?”
“It was just a slight burn. It got better overnight.”
“Did you apply any ointment? It’s important for a woman’s body… I’ll apologize on his behalf. Sorry.”
“Ah, didn’t you hear? It was my fault. I was the one who approached him with the bowl of ramen.”
“Oh, is that so? Woo-jin didn’t tell me the details… Anyway, I’m sorry.”
Ji-hyun apologized sincerely while Soo-young awkwardly smiled and rubbed her stomach.
“Ah, it really wasn’t that bad… I can’t show you…”
As she said this, Ji-hyun glanced down where her hand had moved, then looked back up and carefully suggested,
“If you don’t eat lunch before coming, would you like to have lunch with Woo-jin? I join him for dinner, but I can’t be there for breakfast or lunch.”
“But would Woo-jin agree to that? Honestly, it was really hard even to get him to eat a single serving of ramen yesterday.”
“He’s very shy. But you’ve been asked to come regularly and even shared a meal… How did you manage to do that in just four days? Can you share your secret?”
Ji-hyun was genuinely curious. What family couldn’t do, Soo-young had achieved in just a few days. How was that possible?
To Ji-hyun’s surprise, Soo-young calmly replied,
“Maybe it’s because of my beauty?”
At Soo-young’s words, Ji-hyun momentarily looked dumbfounded, but soon burst into laughter. Still, he couldn’t help but ask cautiously.
“You know about Woo-jin’s condition, right?”
It was out of concern that Soo-young might think Woo-jin could see even a little. Anyone who saw his eye contact would not doubt that he was looking at the other person.
However, Soo-young seemed serious as she replied,
“I saw on YouTube that visually impaired people can guess appearances by voice. They even did an experiment and got it quite right.”
“You looked that up?”
As Ji-hyun’s voice softened, Soo-young glanced at him, wondering if she said something wrong.
However, Ji-hyun just stared at her face for a while before smiling gently.
Ji-hyun was also quite handsome, not as much as the house owner, but still very good-looking. His eyes, nose, mouth, everything was perfectly aligned. Considering how he dealt with the house owner’s temper, he seemed to have remarkable patience.
“So, you’ll join him for lunch from now on? But if Woo-jin says no, don’t push yourself too hard.”
He stood up from the bench as he said this, and Soo-young also got up.
“Yes.”
“Is that tteokbokki I smell? It smells amazing.”
“Ah! Does it smell? I wrapped it tightly in plastic…”
“Yes. The scent must have clung to your bag. Enjoy your meal with Woo-jin. It’s been a long time since he had anything like that. He’ll probably like it.”
