Visible Love (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
Su Young came into the kitchen, having quickly washed her hair with soap in the living room bathroom, her head still wrapped in a towel.
Unexpectedly, Woo Jin was already seated at the dining table, having even set a fork beside his plate.
The V-neck knit he’d worn before once again exposed his signature straight, prominent collarbones. Was this another case of employee welfare?
“Wow, you’ve set everything up already?”
Su Young quickly shifted her gaze to the table and asked in feigned surprise. But Woo Jin didn’t answer—he just stared fixedly at the pizza.
Though his eyes were on the pizza, his nose was taking in her scent.
The familiar soap smell blended with her unique body scent, creating a strangely alluring fragrance.
Honestly, had she really just taken a shower? His body tensed oddly. As if reading his thoughts, Su Young quickly spoke up.
“I only quickly washed my hair with soap.”
“Who— who said anything?”
Feeling somehow caught in his thoughts, he snapped back irritably. Wondering why he was suddenly in a mood again, Su Young raised a tiny fist slightly, then instead poured cola into the cup in front of him.
“There’s cola on your left, Mr. Seol Woo Jin. Fork’s on your right, and…”
“I already set the table.”
“I was just letting you know I poured the cola.”
“You could’ve just said that.”
Watching Woo Jin continue grumbling, Su Young let out a sigh of patience. She really had to hand it to his pretty girlfriend—she must be extraordinary.
“We should’ve eaten sooner. It’s all cold now; probably doesn’t taste as good.”
She broke off a slice of pizza and deliberately placed it onto his plate with an audible clink, muttering softly.
“It’s your own fault for being greedy.”
“I wanted your girlfriend’s side dishes to be eaten. She went through the trouble of making them—it’s nice to eat them right away, isn’t it?”
At that, Woo Jin’s hand, just about to pick up a slice of pizza, froze midair. His amber eyes turned toward her as he asked,
“Whose girlfriend?”
“Yours. I saw her.”
Woo Jin tilted his head briefly in confusion, then frowned and said,
“Who’s my girlfriend? She’s my sister-in-law—my sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law?”
“Mrs. Seol Ji Hyun.”
“She’s married?”
Su Young blurted out louder than she intended. Woo Jin took a bite of pizza and replied,
“Yeah. Didn’t you know?”
“Of course I didn’t! Oh, so he’s married.”
Hearing Su Young mutter in stunned disbelief, Woo Jin covered his mouth—still full of pizza—and sneered,
“What? Disappointed?”
“Huh? Why would I be disappointed that she’s married?”
“Sounds like you are.”
“I’m not!”
“Seol Ji Hyun’s pretty good-looking too, you know? Though I’m obviously better.”
Seizing the opening, Su Young eagerly shot back. It was a question she’d wanted to ask before but held back out of politeness.
“Aren’t you just way too confident about your own looks? Do you even know what you actually look like?”
“Of course I do.”
Though it’d been so long he could barely remember clearly, he did recall standing out as conspicuously handsome. Back then, stepping just outside the school gate would bring cheers from girls.
According to Seol Ji Hyun, his hair and eye color had changed slightly since then—but his facial structure remained the same, so he must still be objectively good-looking.
Everyone had consoled him, saying just avoiding facial burns was a blessing—but sometimes he wondered if it wouldn’t have been better to lose his sight and keep his face intact instead.
Yet every time he said that, Ji Hyun scolded him, reminding how hard it was for those who actually suffered burns back then.
Did he really think blindness wasn’t hard? Still chewing the pizza grumpily, he heard Su Young say casually,
“Actually, I’ve been told I’m pretty quite often too.”
Woo Jin’s eyebrows twitched slightly. His chewing mouth stretched into a long line, but ignoring his expression, Su Young cheerfully continued,
“I read on YouT— that people say you can roughly guess someone’s looks just from their voice. Is that true for you, Mr. Seol Woo Jin? I’ve got big eyes with double eyelids, a nose bridge at the standard height for Korean women, and small, plump lips—what they call ‘cherry-bright’ lips. Can you picture it?”
“…Are you seriously scamming me right now, claiming I can’t see?”
At his dry remark, Su Young cried out in exasperation,
“I’m stating pure facts, completely objectively!”
“If Seol Ji Hyun had seen some random pretty girl in her twenties like you claim to be, she wouldn’t have stayed quiet. She’d have been wildly excited and exaggerated all about it.”
“Tch.”
Suddenly, the sound of a chair scraping backward filled the room. Though he usually hated that noise, hearing it from her didn’t bother him at all.
Feeling her presence right beside him, Woo Jin flinched and instinctively leaned his upper body backward.
“Hold on—let me grab your hand for a sec.”
“Ah—”
Before Woo Jin could respond, Su Young gently took his fingers and guided them toward something. Warm and soft—this was…
“What—what is this?”
Though he yelped, he didn’t pull his hand away. If anyone else had done this, he’d have recoiled as if touching a bug.
“I want you to touch my face—see if I’m telling the truth.”
The moment he realized his fingers were touching her face, Woo Jin froze like a robot for a while. Su Young pulled her hand away from his and said,
“Okay, I’ll let go now—just trace the general outline. You’ll probably be totally shocked!”
Yet even so, Woo Jin couldn’t move even a single finger.
Seeing his rigid expression and downcast eyes, Su Young worried she’d come on too strong and started to pull her face back.
Just then, he suddenly lowered his voice and said,
“Don’t move.”
Soon, Woo Jin’s fingertips began cautiously tracing the contours of her face.
The ticklish yet strangely intimate sensation made Su Young’s body stiffen completely this time.
His fingers, having traced the outline, slowly moved inward, now gently brushing over her eyebrows and nose bridge.
His touch—light as if handling fragile glass—made her knees weak for some reason.
As soon as his fingertips reached her lips, both his hand and her face jerked away simultaneously.
“A-ah—so? Not a scam, right?”
Su Young stammered, her face flushed crimson. Woo Jin quickly straightened his posture and fumbled,
“It—is a scam. Why’s a girl’s face this big? I thought I was touching a guy’s face.”
“What?!”
Instantly, Su Young clenched her fists without realizing. How dare he say that to a girl! Fine, your face is tiny as a walnut!
Meanwhile, Woo Jin gulped down cola rapidly, his thumb unconsciously stroking the fingertips that had just touched her face beneath the table.
Judging by the contours his fingers had felt, she was even smaller-faced and neater than she’d claimed.
Her eyebrows were tidy; her nose bridge—whether it met the average height for Korean women or not—he couldn’t say, but it was refreshingly straight.
And her lips… they felt exactly like the bear-shaped jelly he’d eaten as a kid—soft, chewy, and springy. Would they taste the same too?
He rubbed his bloated stomach—thanks to gulping cola too fast—and hurriedly stood up from his seat.
Ignoring Su Young’s call of “Aren’t you eating pizza? Where are you going?” he fled straight into his room like he was running away.
He’d always teased her about having dirty thoughts, but right now, the images swirling in his head were completely beyond his control.
[This is the timeline separator]It was still early October, yet snow was falling. Not heavy flakes, but unmistakably snow—more like sleet. It seemed like a weather anomaly.
Everyone was marveling at the unseasonably early snow, but Su Young had no time to enjoy it—she was seriously late for her part-time job.
She hadn’t slept a wink all night, constantly replaying last night’s moment when Woo Jin had traced her face.
Every time she closed her eyes, she could feel his touch again, making it impossible to sleep.
How could his hands be so warm—no, not just warm, but burning hot like fire—when her face felt like ice?
Because of that, she’d dozed off so deeply in the library that she’d even snored, only to be woken up by someone complaining about the noise.
Glancing at the time, it was already 2 p.m. Even if she hurried, it’d take at least 30 minutes to get there.
She didn’t have his contact info, so calling wasn’t an option. All she could do was sprint from the subway station.
Only when she reached the front door did she realize she hadn’t brought lunch.
Well, there were side dishes from yesterday that her sister-in-law had brought over. Earlier, she hadn’t felt like eating them, thinking they were from his girlfriend—but now knowing they were from his sister-in-law, she felt she should eat them quickly before they spoiled.
Inside, the house was eerily quiet as expected.
She peeked into the living room, wondering if he was sleeping there again for “employee welfare,” but apparently, that benefit wasn’t available today.
After a quick glance toward Woo Jin’s room, Su Young turned away—then suddenly gasped aloud. The view from the 10th-floor floor-to-ceiling window of snow falling was absolutely breathtaking.
With an unobstructed panoramic view, the snowfall looked incredibly vivid.
Wanting a better look, she flung the window wide open. The crisp wind brushing her nose felt refreshing.
“You’re late.”
His familiar melodic voice came from behind. She should’ve apologized, but instead she blurted out excitedly,
“Have you seen the snow? This is insane, right?”
Was she a goldfish? How many times did he have to explain that he couldn’t see? Woo Jin sighed lightly.
But suddenly, her scent washed over him—right under his nose again, completely without warning!
Woo Jin instinctively stepped back. Though her unpredictable movements always startled him, what used to annoy him now carried a hint of thrill.
“Should we… go outside?”
It wasn’t the word “we” that caught his attention—it was “outside.”
“…Why?”
“Let’s go out and get snowed on. This is a weather anomaly—you’ve gotta experience it! Plus, since you can’t see it, you should at least feel it, right?”
“If it’s an anomaly, why do you have to experience it?”
“Exactly because it’s an anomaly! Anomalies don’t happen regularly—you have to experience them when you can!”
“…Aren’t you working?”
“Ah, it’ll just take a sec! Just five minutes out and back—okay?”
“No.”
She hadn’t expected him to agree right away, but his outright refusal startled her more than she’d anticipated.
“Ah, why not?!”
“I don’t like going outside.”
“But why?”
Her genuinely puzzled tone made Woo Jin’s brow furrow.
“If you couldn’t see, would you want strangers watching you fumble your way around?”
“Ha.”
Her exasperated sigh made his frown deepen.
“What’s with that sigh?”
“Confidence is great, but thinking everyone’s staring only at you—that’s a bit much, don’t you think?”
“What?”
“People these days are super busy. Not everyone lazes around at home like you do.”
Ha—lazing around! At her words, Woo Jin unconsciously clenched his molars.
What made him look like a freeloader? Did she have any idea how hard he worked every single day?
“Everyone’s too busy to care whether you can see or not, whether you’re stumbling or walking straight! Thinking everyone’s watching you when no one is—that’s celebrity syndrome.”
Woo Jin’s face reddened at Su Young’s words.
Did this woman have zero empathy? Had she ever tried stepping into his shoes? Did she have any idea how hard it was to navigate a world where you couldn’t see even a step ahead?
If it were Seol Ji Hyun, he’d have shouted—but for some reason, in front of her, he could only seethe silently.
If he voiced all these thoughts now, she’d probably call him childish and whiny.
Woo Jin turned sharply to leave, but she called after him,
“So you’re really not going out? This is a weather anomaly!”
Her hopeful voice abruptly cut off as she snapped her mouth shut.
But… did that mean he never went outside at all? Su Young’s lifted eyebrows softened as she stared blankly at his room, suddenly curious.
No matter how handsome or wealthy he was, did having a disability really shake his confidence like this? Did his family even know he was living like this?
He barely ate, never went out, and seemed to sleep poorly at night. Didn’t he need someone to look after him? Though… with a personality like his, maybe his family couldn’t handle him at home either.
Su Young’s gaze drifted back to the window, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Was it because she was looking down from so high? The snow falling through the sunlight looked less like an anomaly and more like a blessing upon the world.
She could go out and experience it alone—so why did she feel such a strong urge to share it with him?
She wanted him to feel both the warm sunlight and the cold snow.
Her stomach growled, demanding she eat something quickly for her drooping spirits. He was probably hungry too.
From now on, she decided, whenever she messed with Seol Woo Jin, she’d make sure he ate first—then proceed. Slowly, she headed toward the kitchen.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
