Kang Hyun parked his car in the apartment complex where Ji An lived and followed her into the elevator.
“I’m really fine.”
“I’m just worried. I just want to make sure you get home safely.”
In the end, Ji An nodded and pressed the elevator’s close button.

It didn’t seem like anything would happen on the short journey from the communal entrance to her home via the elevator, but it was useless no matter how many times she said she was fine from the moment he tried to get out of the car.

If you look closely, he’s quite stubborn.

Inwardly, she glanced at him, picturing his stubborn demeanor steadfastly holding his ground next to her.

He was a man who created an intimidating atmosphere, his sharp eyes accentuated even more because there was no need to plant a good impression on anyone, hence he didn’t even bother to smile.

Although his frame stood out because he didn’t eat properly, he didn’t seem thin because he was naturally wellbuilt.

With him reliably protecting her, she did indeed feel reassured.

It would be a lie to say that the sharp iron bar that had tried to stab her wasn’t at all scary.
“I know it might be uncomfortable, but please bear with me.”
Kang Hyun, who had been staring at her with a blank face, hesitated and then opened his mouth.
“I’m not uncomfortable.”
Ji An, who had swallowed the back words ‘I wish it were uncomfortable’, moved her gaze to her toes.

He, who kept circling around and causing misunderstandings, constantly evoked unfamiliar emotions.

It wasn’t love at first sight, but from the beginning, her heart, which was violently shaken, seemed to be engraved somewhere with his traces.

A sigh flowed naturally.

Their relationship teetered on the edge, with their lips brushing, their hands touching, and each other caught at the end of their gaze.

It was a difficult relationship where you would step back two steps even if you took one step closer.

As the words she couldn’t ask him accumulated, it felt stuffy, as if there was a dense fog in a corner of her heart.

What she should be worrying about now was the past of herself before she lost her memory and of Choi Do Young.

However, Tae Kang Hyun, who occupied her mind, was not making room.

After the elevator stopped, the ding of the alarm freed the two from the awkward silence.

Kang Hyun, who got off the elevator before Ji An, carefully checked her safety up to the dark stairs.
“Don’t think about anything else and rest. I’ll meet Choi Do Young.”
“Thank you.”
With a nod, Ji An, who was about to enter the door lock password, paused and clenched her fist.

Then, she faintly called out to Kang Hyun, who had his back to her.
“Executive Director.”
Kang Hyun, who had been standing there as if nailed to the spot to ensure she entered the house safely, slightly raised his eyebrows.
“Yes.”
“I’m not Han Seo Yoon. You know that, right?”
At her unexpected question, Kang Hyun’s pupils quivered.

Since he couldn’t see Ji An’s face, he couldn’t even guess why she was saying that.

It seemed like she was indirectly asking him to keep his distance because she was showing him her back as if she was saying something she shouldn’t.

But, why all of a sudden?

Was it because he tried to kiss her, or because he tried to hold her hand? Did he make a mistake at the workshop?

Kang Hyun, who couldn’t be free even from her slightest gesture, clenched his teeth as he tried hard to interpret the question that might mean nothing.

Anyway, there was only one answer he could give.
“Of course, Ms. Seo Ji An.”
His voice, which had fallen drastically as if he would hit the floor, echoed in the quiet corridor. The cold bass bounced back to me, pricking my skin.

His voice, cracking like dry firewood, sounded especially bad today.
“Yes, drive safe.”
Swallowing a heavy sigh and laughing at himself, Kang Hyun twisted his body as he watched the door that had quickly opened and closed after a short greeting.

As soon as she heard the electronic sound of the door lock locking, Ji An, who had held onto the handle, let go and slid down the door as if collapsing.

It felt like heat was blowing out of her flushed cheeks as if she had just sprinted at full speed.

She wanted to ask if he had come to like her because of her face, which was the same as Han Seo Yoon’s, but she didn’t have the courage yet, so expressing that was all she could do.

What was the name she heard every day?

Her heart was afloat with the return of her name along with his indifferent answer.

Before losing her memory, it was an affair, and now…..

Liking a man who can’t forget another woman, and that too, a twin who looks exactly like me, the confirmation solidified, and for some reason, she felt sad and her eyes watered.
“It’s a real problem.”
Ji An, who had been calming her troubled heart, suddenly felt empty and looked around.

No matter how much she turned her head here and there, she couldn’t see the carrier she had taken with her when she left the house.

No wonder her hands felt light all the way.

It was clear that she had been startled by Choi Do Young’s attack.
