Exiting the elevator on the 10th floor, she saw Woo-jin’s front door open. Thinking the CEO had visited again, she was surprised to see a young woman elegantly stepping out in heels.
With a moderate height and figure, brown shoulder-length hair, and wearing a white two-piece dress with brown stripes, the woman looked like a model from a fashion magazine.
So-young involuntarily glanced down at her own hoodie and jeans outfit.
The woman, mistaking So-young for a neighbor, nodded politely before boarding the elevator So-young had just exited.
Their eyes met as the elevator doors closed.
Who is she? His girlfriend? Does he have a girlfriend? Well, with his looks, it would be strange if he didn’t.
A woman dating a visually impaired man… She’s pretty and must have a beautiful heart too.
To deal with his temper, she must have the patience of a saint.
Entering Woo-jin’s house, she found him coming out of the kitchen.
Had his girlfriend dressed him up like that? In a slightly oversized blue striped shirt and white cotton pants, he looked even more elegant than usual.
As she approached him, he stood silently in place.
So-young drew near, and he suddenly made a knowing sound. What? He didn’t realize it was me? Thought his girlfriend came back? Wished she had?
“What did you eat? What were you doing in the kitchen?”
“Come and set the table. There’s lots of side dishes.”
It seemed his girlfriend brought the side dishes. A girlfriend who cooks for him. She had only thought of buying food. What? What’s with this sudden comparison?
As Woo-jin turned away, he suddenly faced her again. His gaze dropped, eventually resting on the pizza she held.
“What did you bring?”
“I brought a pizza, but we can eat the side dishes and rice.”
“I want to eat pizza.”
“We’re having side dishes and rice!”
“I said I want pizza.”
“You’re going to eat side dishes and rice! I’ll eat this pizza all by myself!”
So-young suddenly raised her voice, startling Woo-jin, who flinched and furrowed his brows.
Confused by her own sudden outburst, So-young stuttered.
“Ah, I mean… ”
Initially, she wanted to considerately suggest eating the side dishes his girlfriend brought. But now, she was puzzled whether the problem was the side dishes or the person who brought them.
Unaware of So-young’s confusion, Woo-jin jumped to a wrong conclusion.
“You must be really hungry. Alright, then. You can have the pizza all to yourself.”
He said lightly and turned to go to his room, leaving So-young gripping the pizza box tightly.
This isn’t what I meant… Kim So-young, have you lost your mind? Why did you suddenly get angry?
So-young scolded herself, thumping her head with her fists.
Meanwhile, Woo-jin, having entered his room, was too incredulous to be angry.
Every time she brought food, she said we’d eat together. I just wanted to eat the pizza she brought, but why did she get angry? Was she particularly fond of that pizza? Did she buy a small one for herself, thinking I’d snatch it away?
Always blaming me for having a bad temper!
Holding a slice of pizza on a plate, So-young paced back and forth outside Woo-jin’s door for the twentieth time.
He surely knows I’m here, and he must smell the pizza, and he’s probably hungry too, but why won’t he come out? I’m sorry for getting angry. I want to apologize. But he needs to come out of his room first!
As she bumped her forehead against the door, it suddenly opened, causing the pizza to slap onto Woo-jin’s shirt and fall off.
“Ah…”
She looked down at his shirt smeared with toppings and sauce, then at the pizza on the floor.
“Why did you suddenly open the door like that?”
She was exasperated. She had been waiting to apologize for shouting, but now she’d made another ridiculous mistake.
Feeling increasingly annoyed, not at him but at herself, So-young watched as Woo-jin crumpled his face in irritation.
“Did you just get pizza on my clothes? Why do you always carry food around?”
“I brought it for you!”
“You said you’d eat it alone.”
“…It’s too much. It’s a large pizza.”
“Then why did you say you’d eat it alone?”
“You seemed to want the side dishes…”
“But I said I wanted pizza.”
She was at a loss for words. And now the fallen pizza was positioned so that he could easily step on it and smear it all around.
The sauce on his shirt was also likely to drip everywhere. They needed to clean up this mess before arguing about anything else.
“Stay still. There’s sauce and stuff all over the place.”
So-young bent down to pick up the pizza and put it back on the plate. Suddenly, something plopped onto her head.
A piece of pepperoni from Woo-jin’s shirt had fallen onto her.
“Ugh…”
Hearing her odd noise, Woo-jin leaned down and asked, “What?”
“The topping from your shirt fell on my head. It’s a mess, a total mess.”
“Go take a shower.”
“What?”
“Take a shower.”
As he began to unbutton his shirt, So-young, alarmed, stood up and asked, “What are you doing?”
He replied calmly, “My shirt’s got sauce on it. Don’t I have to wash it?”
“But why are you undressing here?”
“If things keep falling off, it’ll dirty my room. Better to take it off here.”
As the first three buttons of his shirt came undone, So-young inadvertently gulped. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Woo-jin was wearing a thin T-shirt underneath.
“You had another lewd thought, didn’t you?” Woo-jin narrowed his eyes and asked, prompting So-young to gasp in response.
“Me? No, I didn’t!”
“You held your breath again.”
“No, I didn’t!”
“Yes, you did.”
As she shouted back, Woo-jin grinned knowingly, nodding his head as if understanding, but still wearing that slightly suggestive smile. So-young quickly grabbed the plate and almost ran to the kitchen, reminding him as she left.
“I’ll bring a mop! Stay where you are! The floor’s covered in sauce!”
“I’ll leave my shirt here too. Take it to the cleaners.”
Hearing the laughter in his voice, So-young muttered under her breath.
“Dangerous, dangerous. But why is he wearing a T-shirt underneath when it’s not even cold in here? Tsk!”
She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, worried he might have heard her.
Meanwhile, having taken off his shirt and entered his room, Woo-jin chuckled to himself, covering his mouth with a fist.
Why does her face keep appearing in his mind? He imagined her standing there, holding her breath and staring at him, and couldn’t help but laugh. She reminded him of the middle school girls who used to crowd around the school gates to see him in high school.
He thought he’d never feel that kind of smug satisfaction again after losing his sight, but strangely, she made him remember those emotions. She made him feel not like a disabled person, but just like an ordinary Woo-jin.
Touching his own face slowly, he tried to remember his features – the smooth forehead, the sharp contours of his face, chin, lips, nose… and when his long eyelashes brushed his fingertips, he suddenly crumpled the clothes he was holding and slumped down on the spot.
No matter how much he touched, it couldn’t compare to seeing with his own eyes.
His lips, which had risen due to her presence, now fell again, and he sat crouched in his dressing room for a long time.
