Seeing his father checking whether Braille was properly embossed on the elevator button with his hands, Seol Minjae frowned.

It was always a source of pride for him to receive his father’s recognition more than his younger brother.

When his brother ran away with a woman abroad and returned with Woojin, Seol Minjae pretended to be concerned while secretly celebrating. However, he never dreamed that he would monopolize his father’s attention to this extent after death.

Even though he thought he could reach the fountain within 10 minutes, the alarm went off right in front of the fountain.

Despite hearing the sound of water from the fountain, once the alarm went off, Woojin turned his body without hesitation.

He used to forget his phone at home, and when he coincidentally ran into the kids one day, he began setting the alarm without fail.

Deciding to sit on a bench today, Suhyeong suddenly stopped in her tracks with an “Ah!” sound.

Knowing he would become more sensitive outside, she spoke very softly.

“Why?”

Woojin followed, asking with a stern face.

“A… a mouse… there’s a mouse…”
Even though Suhyeong made groaning sounds, there was no expression on Woojin’s face. Instead, he spoke sternly with a cold, icy face.

“…Stop acting.”

“It’s real… Ah… It really hurts…”

“Ha…”

Woojin sighed, releasing a bit of tension from the hand that was hugging her shoulder. Then, he suddenly turned pathetic.

“Let’s go quickly. I’m tired.”

Just 10 minutes of walking, and she found it difficult. After all, she ran for hours on the treadmill.

Suhyeong stubbornly pulled his waist slightly to the side.

“Let’s sit for just one minute. Okay?”

“Where would you sit?”

Woojin’s expression became increasingly uneasy.

“Just five steps to the right, there’s a tree, and there’s a bench underneath. We had drinks here with the CEO last time…”

His smile faded as soon as he heard about sitting with Seol Ji-hyeon.

“With Seol Ji-hyeon?”

“Yes. The Jang Kangjang drink here is delicious.”

Feeling somewhat provoked by the mention of Seol Ji-hyeon, he reluctantly followed her lead.

Carefully sitting on the bench, he set the alarm on his phone and put it in his pocket.

“What did you do?”

“Just said let’s sit for a minute. I generously set it for two minutes a hundred times.”

Then, she suddenly released the arm that had been around Suhyeong’s shoulders and fumbled for the bench, kneeling down on one knee in front of Suhyeong.

“What, what are you doing?”

“There’s a mouse. Which side? This side? This side?”

Woojin’s warm hand began to touch her ankle. Without saying anything, Suhyeong just stared at his oddly long fingers.

“You don’t know which side?”

“Oh, oh, right…”

Then his hand started to massage Suhyeong’s ankle.

“If it hurts, tell me.”

“Yes? Yes…”

Instead of feeling pain, her ankle felt cool, and her chest tickled.

Seeing people in the park glancing at them, Suhyeong’s face filled with pride.

This handsome man is my boyfriend, no, friend, no, landlord, everyone!

While feeling proud for a while, Woojin’s phone suddenly started to beep.

Then Woojin turned off the phone and slowly stood up from his seat.

It felt like he wanted to slap his phone as if it were his girlfriend, but he reached out and said, “If you’re okay, get up now.”

“It’s not okay yet…”

“If I touch a mouse, it goes crazy. You didn’t even budge. You didn’t even breathe. Should I massage you more?”

“N-No, no, no, no…”

“I understand that it’s good, but let’s stop now. It’s hard.”

His expression looked genuinely tired, and Suhyeong couldn’t say anything more. She just stood up from her seat, stood next to him for a comfortable hug.

Soon, with both arms around her, he started walking slowly.

“Still, you sat on the bench today. We might be able to go to a hamburger joint later. There’s one just in front of the shopping mall. Do you know there’s a hamburger joint there? I want to go there with Seol Woojin and have a hamburger. It’s just in front of the mall; do you know if there’s a hamburger joint there?”

As Suhyeong clung to him and whimpered, Woojin’s eyelids drooped slightly.

“Kim Suhyeong.”
“Yes?”

“How do I look to you?”

“What do you mean, how do you look? You look like Seol Woojin.”

“Just Seol Woojin?”

In response to his question, Suhyeong thought of various words in her mind. Maybe David? A cartoon character? …A prince?

Suddenly, a creaking sound came out of her mouth. Even she found herself too childish. Prince? What prince? Is he in elementary school?

“Don’t I appear as a person with a disability?”

Woojin asked with a sinking voice.

“Ah… Was that what you meant? Although it may not be noticeable at first glance, based on my actions, I may appear as a visually impaired person.”

“But you want to go for a walk like this, go to a hamburger joint, and such?”

Upon hearing that, Suhyeong responded with a slightly melancholy voice.

“I do care about how other people look at me.”

Well, of course. Woojin’s expression darkened.

Even if you can’t see people’s faces, how much more would you be concerned about someone next to you?

“Maybe people will see me as a short but wealthy girlfriend.”

With an unexpected remark, Woojin’s eyes widened. What is this woman saying right now?

“That’s right. Seol Woojin is tall, has a model-like body, and a handsome face like a sculpture. Honestly, I’m quite ordinary. Of course, I’m not ugly. I’m just not like a sculpture. In terms of appearance, Korean women are average.”

As she spoke, Woojin’s pupils gradually dilated. His steps slowed down and eventually stopped at some point.

“Anyway, I’m average, but you stand out so much that people might look at us strangely. They might think, ‘Why is that guy with that girl? Maybe she’s rich and he’s short.’ People tend to think like that. Actually, I don’t have much money… but still, I have 7 million won in my bank account. Originally, I had 10 million won, but I spent some while unemployed, and the CEO deposited his salary into my aunt’s account here…”

At that moment, something warm touched her cheek. Woojin’s hand was gently patting her face. Touching around her nose and then her cheek, he soon lowered his long body and lightly kissed her cheek before pulling away.

Suhyeong quickly covered her cheek and looked up at him.

“What, what is it?”

“…It’s too noisy… Be quiet…”

Woojin pretended not to know and spoke again, then started walking forward. Suhyeong held her pounding chest and followed his steps.

No, you can just say it; why use your lips… Don’t smile, Kim Suhyeong. Don’t smile!

While biting her molars, Suhyeong shouted at herself.

They entered the building and waited for the elevator. Woojin quietly opened his mouth.

“What was your nickname in school?”

“Me? Well… I didn’t have anything special.”

“You must have had one…”

Suhyeong looked up at him with a face that seemed to say she didn’t understand English, and Woojin raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

“Woochotto. No?”

“Woochotto… What does that mean?”

“Top crazy in the universe.”
“He… he… he… I was too stunned to say anything. What is this guy saying, looking at the most sensible me in the universe?

With a ‘ding’ sound, when the elevator opened, Woojin whispered into her ear.

“So, do you like it?”
