Then suddenly, she felt pathetic seeing her reflection on the glass door.
Why did I come all the way here?
All I have to do is find the keychain. Should I leave a text message? If it’s not there, that can’t be helped, but if it is, could they leave it at the lobby? I could say that I would come and pick it up.
A deep sigh flowed from Eun Jae’s lips as she tried to translate her repeatedly considered thoughts into a text message.
The hand holding the phone couldn’t write anything and weakly fell to the floor.
“Sigh… Eun Jae, let’s be honest.”
It wasn’t just about the keychain, was it?
Coming here to find the keychain was just an excuse.
I’m not sure exactly. Unidentifiable emotions were mixed up, and it was hard to distinguish what was real anymore.
I wanted to find the keychain, and I also wanted to talk more with the man….
“Forget it. Let’s go, go.”
Taking one step would have meant falling off a cliff. What’s there to say now, after refusing with such an unreasonable pride?
Eun Jae shoved her phone into the pocket of her jacket and began to slowly move her feet, which she couldn’t dare lift.
Had she barely taken a step? The phone in her pocket began to ring. Eun Jae stopped her steps and quickly pulled out her phone.
Eun Jae, who had checked the caller, quickly pressed the call button as if she had been waiting and held it to her ear.
“Hello…..”
[Where are you right now? I’ll come to you.]
It was even before the usual greeting passed after picking up the call. The man’s voice quickly followed. Then, beep, it seemed like she faintly heard the sound of a car’s lock being unlocked.
All the thoughts that had been anxiously shaking a moment ago were wiped out by the man’s voice.
“Ah, I’m in front of your officetel.”
The man’s laughter came over the receiver. Probably because she had called him a teacher. Eun Jae stumbled over her words, looking for a way to recover.
“Ah! So, a suitable title to call you….”
[I think 10 minutes should be enough, you can wait that long, right?]
He’s coming faster than I thought.
She was about to nod and answer.
[Wait 5 minutes, please.] A brief silence passed along with the sound of the car door slamming shut. Gulping down her dry saliva, Eun Jae replied as if taken aback.
“Oh, no. Take your time. I’ll be in the lobby.”
[See you later.]
The sound of the engine starting could be heard after the reply filled with laughter. Even after Eun Jae replied ‘Yes’, the call hung up after a slight pause.
Only after hanging up did she realize.
“Ah, what, why are you smiling, Eun Jae?”
That she was smiling.
“So. You must have had some good news?”
Eun Jae’s expression cooled down at the sound of the familiar voice. Seeing the three men approaching, Eun Jae backed away.
A few weeks ago.
Those were the men she had encountered at the hospital.
In just two steps, her back hit the wall. A chill ran down her spine just like the menacing faces of the men.
“Somebody said they saw you here. I came just in case, and you show up right on cue.”
Contrary to his laughing words, the man’s gestures and actions were rough. Eun Jae felt his coarse grip as he abruptly grabbed her chin.
“Thanks, Eun Jae.”
Eun Jae shouted with a trembling voice.
“I tried! If only you guys hadn’t made such a scene by coming all the way to the company!”
The men who had turned the house upside down caused a disturbance at Eun Jae’s workplace a few days later. It was a smallscale company, but it was one she had been quite satisfied with.
Due to that incident, a few days later, she was notified of her dismissal without a chance to explain.
“When will you ever make it up with that measly salary.”
It was night, but they were at the entrance where the front gate of the officetel was located. A few passersby glanced at them, but the stares did not last long.
“So, what am I supposed to do? I need to work to repay the money!”
“Well, can you wait about 10 years?”
At Kwon Seung Chul’s words, the laughter of the two men standing behind grew louder. It was a mocking laughter.
I knew it too. That 200 million won wasn’t an amount that could easily be repaid.
Then, a vibration was felt from the mobile phone she was gripping tightly in her hand. She could tell who it was without checking.
As the mobile phone lit up brightly in the darkness, Kwon Seung Chul’s gaze, which was gripping Eun Jae’s chin, turned towards Eun Jae’s hand.
“Who is it?”
“None of your business.”
Eun Jae desperately covered the name of the man that appeared on the screen.
Kwon Seung Chul had tried to somehow link the people around Eun Jae to money. He was like a hyena, greedily looking for any hole from where money could come out.
Despite haranguing her about a favor and tormenting her, the man had been a very thankful person to Eun Jae.
Despite the situation where he could have been in danger himself, he was a person who did not just pass by.
If you keep circling around me like this, you too will fall into this swamp.
So let’s just stop here.

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
