“…Really? In front of so many people! I would’ve been so embarrassed, but So-ra was boasting about it. They’re really a match made in heaven.”
Hearing a cheerful yet soft female voice in the kitchen, Ji-hyeon stood still. Then, a familiar gentle voice followed.
“Don’t eavesdrop, come in, Seol Ji-hyeon.”
Startled by his words, Ji-hyeon quickly entered the kitchen. On the dining table, there was coffee, and So-young and Woo-jin were sitting facing each other.
“Is So-young still here?”
As Ji-hyeon greeted her warmly, So-young smiled and replied,
“I thought I’d hang around for a bit. Didn’t want Woo-jin to get bored.”
“You’re the one who’s bored.”
Woo-jin responded indifferently, but his face didn’t show dislike. Ji-hyeon sat next to Woo-jin with a heart full of gratitude, but Woo-jin frowned and moved away slightly.
Was he so averse to touch, even with his own family? Yet, he had allowed So-young to touch him several times, which she found unexpectedly comforting.
Was it a sign he felt more at ease with her than his family? Or had she been too forward, disregarding his discomfort?
So-young’s thoughts deepened just because Woo-jin avoided Ji-hyeon.
“Have you tried the side dishes?”
Ji-hyeon asked Woo-jin gently. Woo-jin just nodded without speaking.
As soon as So-young left, Woo-jin seemed to lose his brightness, which reminded Ji-hyeon of Dr. Kang’s words.
― Ji-hyeon, find a way for that lady to keep coming.
“A way…”
Woo-jin looked up as Ji-hyeon muttered to himself.
“What way?”
“Oh, nothing…”
“Go ahead and eat dinner. I ate lunch late, so I’m not hungry.”
As Woo-jin stood up, Ji-hyeon looked up at him and mentioned,
“There’s a memorial service tomorrow…”
He knew Woo-jin probably wouldn’t go, but wanted to make sure he knew about it. As expected, Woo-jin’s handsome face contorted as he spoke.
“It’s been 10 years already. Why do they keep having that memorial service? What changes by doing that? Do the dead come back to life?”
“It’s just for mutual consolation.”
“What consolation! Just exchanging pointless complaints…”
Woo-jin’s frustration was palpable in his voice.
Suddenly, Woo-jin closed his mouth and his face quickly turned red. Ji-hyeon, noticing he wasn’t breathing, abruptly stood up from her place.
“Woo-jin!”
“…Just go.”
Woo-jin, staggering as if he was about to fall, made his way into his room. Soon, the hissing sound of a nebulizer could be heard through the door that hadn’t closed completely.
Entering the chicken restaurant in pajama pants, So-young was greeted by Yeon-ho who cheerfully waved at her.
“So senior, what brings you here so late?”
“It’s only 9 o’clock, what’s late about that? Did your mom tell you not to go out?”
“No, not that. Are your academy classes over?”
“Yeah. I had a mock exam today.”
Yeon-ho spoke gloomily, prompting So-young to ask with concern.
“Did it go bad?”
“I totally bombed it.”
“Mock exams are always different from the real deal. You’ll do well in the actual one.”
“I should be getting the results around now… But it looks like I’ve failed this one too. Maybe I should start practicing writing job applications.”
“Getting into private schools is tough unless it’s through school ties, local connections, or family ties.”
“There must be fair ones too. I’ll look into it.”
But somehow, her tone lacked confidence.
“Did you see the snow today?”
So-young asked cheerfully, trying to change the topic.
“Yeah. It started while I was moving between classes. Doesn’t the first snow usually come around November in the mountainous areas of Gangwon? First snow in Seoul in October?”
“They say it’s a freak weather event.”
“I should have watched the first snow with our So-young… What a pity.”
He subtly expressed his feelings, but So-young just smiled and responded.
“You saw it alone? I saw it with a guy, at least.”
Honestly, she couldn’t really say she watched it together, but since he was there, it was almost like watching it together.
At her words, Yeon-ho’s eyes narrowed.
“A guy? Which guy?”
“I have one.”
“Are you dating?”
“I really want to date. If only there was a great guy.”
“Hey, look around you, close by.”
Yeon-ho earnestly appealed, but So-young just laughed it off. Yeon-ho’s advances had been well-known since their freshman year in college.
Everyone said Yeon-ho seemed to like So-young. She thought so too and even felt thrilled.
But while Yeon-ho was making advances to her, he was officially dating another senior. So-young felt foolish.
Even while dating other girls, he remained kind and affectionate to So-young. He’d even cutely whine, asking why she didn’t see him as a man.
Was it his third or fourth girlfriend who asked So-young to let go of Yeon-ho? After that, So-young gave up on him.
He wasn’t really into her; it was more like keeping her on the back burner. A last resort.
Even now, while preparing for his teaching certification and not seeing other girls, he still made advances to So-young.
