Eunjae slowly reached out to pick up the already-cased phone. It was already turned on.
When he handed me the phone, I wanted to turn it back and say, “Let’s stop here.” I didn’t want to reverse the already fixed decision.
I needed a lot of tears until now to harden my heart again when I saw his face. Perhaps from the beginning until now, I was always such a presence to him.
The surrounding noise, which had been bustling, faded away, and my ears were suddenly filled with the stories he told yesterday.
“You keep making me look like a bad person.”
Eunjae slowly reached out to pick up the already-cased phone. It was already turned on.
When he handed me the phone, I wanted to turn it back and say, “Let’s stop here.” I didn’t want to reverse the already fixed decision.
I needed a lot of tears until now to harden my heart again when I saw his face. Perhaps from the beginning until now, I was always such a presence to him.
“Now the phone is lavender too.”
While gazing at the phone absentmindedly, I felt something attached to the back, so I turned it over.
Familiar numbers were written on the adhesive memo. It seemed like I wrote it down just in case I might forget.
I must have worried more than I thought, considering I even called Yerim.
What did I say?
Organizing scattered thoughts, Eunjae touched his throbbing forehead. He took out the medicine and thermos he had brought in the morning.
Even if everything around me was bothersome, I thought that if my body was healthy, opportunities could come anytime. I didn’t want to go as far as receiving nursing care from him.
Swallowing one pill with water, Eunjae gathered the books and notes, tapping the corners twice after placing them on the chair.
When he tried to put the heavy eco bag over his shoulder, the handle tore, and the items spilled onto the floor.
Ah.
“Why are you causing trouble too.”
Sighing, he picked up the eco bag, and the phone rang. It was a familiar number. At first, thinking about who it was, he muttered the number, but suddenly realizing it was a new phone, Eunjae could identify who the owner of that number was.
He said he got fired.
Eunjae got into the car waiting in front of the studio.
“How worried the professor must have been because you suddenly disappeared.”
The reporter, who usually didn’t say much, kept asking about his well-being incessantly on the way home.
“He said he would personally bring you when he has time.”
“Ah…”
“He said you were wandering around without an umbrella. I don’t know if you caught a cold. Professor, you truly love Mrs. Samo. I envy you.”
After that, the sound of rain and the reporter’s voice became intertwined. Eunjae gazed silently at the raindrops flowing down the window and strengthened his resolve once again.
So, I have to go. I have to stop here. Ultimately, ruining you will be my responsibility.
Forgetting to take off his shoes, Eunjae stood still, staring at Seonwoo.
As soon as he entered the entrance of his home, he was surprised to see Seonwoo sitting on the opposite sofa.
With a book placed on his right hand, covered by the cast, and flipping through the pages with his left hand, Seonwoo looked up at Eunjae with a very calm expression.
The gaze didn’t last long.
Seonwoo, who closed the book he was reading, rose silently without saying a word. Although his appearance was unfamiliar, it felt familiar. Back then, when there was no connection between them. The coldness from that time was reflected in his face and actions.
The gaze fixed on his right hand swelled with redness. Seonwoo casually brushed past Eunjae and left the entrance.
“Wash up and come to my place. I’ll make dinner.”
His slightly parted lips couldn’t muster any words after all.
It was a meal gathering with my in-laws after a long time. So, unable to refuse, Eunjae went up to the bedroom. Thinking that the adults might be waiting, he was about to quickly wash up and leave the bedroom. However, the suitcase that he had placed without properly closing the zipper last night, and that he had stood up, came to mind and was dragged to the center of the bedroom.
While trying to pull up the zipper, a brown envelope sticking out of the storage pocket caught his eye.
It wasn’t there for him, but it was the marriage contract that still remained for me.
The meal gathering was warm.
Except for Grandfather, who had a meeting, and Taekyu, who was in the hospital, the whole family gathered around for the first time in a long time. Since Chobok, it was the first time they sat down together, and the meal started with stories asking about each other’s well-being.
Stories about Eunjae’s mom’s successful surgery, which was fortunate, even though it was hard to understand, stories about Dad’s expanding business, and stories about the younger brother earning a doctorate this time, were told.
Actually, none of those stories seemed to be heard.

really disliked him

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
