“‘Be honest with me. Tell me if you like me that much.'”
Recalling her conversation with Ki Joo from the night before, Eun Chae, seated in front of her vanity, let her gaze fall to her tightly pressed lips reflected in the mirror.
Should she have cursed at him?
She denied the thought right away, as she applied lip balm to her slightly dry lips. There was no reason to be angry for being played, even when she knew she was being stitched up. She was just caught off guard because he wasn’t being crude.
Moisturizing her lips, Eun Chae placed the lip balm back on the vanity and opened a drawer.
Reaching towards the back of the seemingly empty drawer, she felt a cold, hard metal object. It was a lighter that had been pushed back when she opened the drawer.
Eun Chae held the lighter in her hand.
Click.
She flicked open the lighter’s lid with her slender finger.
‘Click.’
He, with his larger, longer hands, expertly lit his cigarette with the lighter.
Although she disliked cigarettes, she didn’t mind watching Ki Joo smoke.
Regardless of his character, he was good to look at, perhaps because of his handsome appearance.
Sometimes, when he looked up at the sky with a firm chin, or when he closed his eyes and exhaled smoke from his closed lips, not knowing what he was thinking, she would gaze at him blankly, as if she was dozing off.
It was a quiet side of him that was not often seen. Perhaps that was why she couldn’t simply overlook the lighter with his first initial engraved on it.
‘Try it now.’
He, who had been staring at her outstretched pale hand, took the lighter.
The lighter he moved to his hand didn’t seem to be a cheap one from a local Filipino market. He leaned his head back and lit his cigarette, the end sizzling and producing smoke.
As he squinted his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with the hand holding the cigarette, he coughed. The confident look he had when he told her to try it now was gone, and he coughed from the smoke that rushed into his nose.
Looking at Ki Joo as if she couldn’t believe it, he puffed on the cigarette and exhaled deeply into his lungs. He immediately put out the cigarette with a stamp.
Thud.
Eun Chae, putting back her old memories as she forcefully closed the lid, placed the lighter back in the drawer. He still had the lighter, which didn’t smell of oil because it wasn’t used, even after they met again. She didn’t think about it when she gave it to him back then.
Now that it’s come to this, she could try to seduce him, but she didn’t have the confidence to deceive Ki Joo.
Even if the outcome was different, she could give him a similar wound.
The more sincere he was, the easier it was for him to get hurt. Just like she was two years ago.
Eun Chae checked the time on her wristwatch and quickly grabbed her coat to leave the room.
((())) ((())) ((()))
Several hangers were set up in the personal shopping room of a department store.
Eun Chae, who had requested items from different brands in advance, sat on the sofa across and shopped while looking at collection magazines and trying them on herself.
But for some reason, there were also men’s products on today’s list. When she pondered over a necktie, Ki Joo, who had been watching, raised an eyebrow.
Having decided to purchase the necktie as well, she left the personal shopping room and headed to a watch brand.
Looking at the items that were taken out one by one, Eun Chae picked out a watch that an employee said had just arrived that day, giving Ki Joo a cheeky look. It was a steel watch with a complex structure of seconds hands. Ki Joo received the shopping bag that had been packed with the watch.
With all the things she had bought, they arrived at home in Ki Joo’s hand. As he put down several shopping bags in the room, Eun Chae, who was taking off her scarf, opened her mouth.
“Take the necktie and watch.”
She hung her scarf on the chair. Ki Joo, who had been watching her white fingertips holding the back of the chair, lifted his eyes. Facing his curt face, Eun Chae stepped closer, trying to understand her intent.
“No, try it now. It’s a gift.”
Huh. Ki Joo, exhaling a short breath, chuckled lowly. He then removed the watch hidden in his shirt sleeve casually and picked out a big box from the shopping bag, replacing it with the highend watch Eun Chae had bought.
“It suits you well.”
Eun Chae, who had been watching, gave a compliment, took a step closer to him, and grabbed the necktie.
Kwon Ki Joo naturally leaned his upper body, his gaze fixated on Eun Chae’s hands loosening his tie. Eun Chae, who quickly undid the tie he was wearing, even took the tie she bought from the department store and tied it herself.
A ridiculous sigh reached above her head, where her meticulous hands were moving.
“What is this?”
He didn’t even glance at the new tie and watch he was wearing. Eun Chae, who sat on the bed, crossed her legs and flipped her indoor slippered feet.
“Because we usually give these things to partners. I’ll give you these kind of gifts often from now on. Please accept them gladly.”

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?

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: “…”
