“He really looks just like Eunseo!”

“Mom, that’s nonsense…”

Grumbling, as Suna looked again at Chris’s face reflected on the screen, she felt like she had been hit on the head with something.

“…Really looks alike?”

Listening and looking, they indeed looked very similar. The eyes, which greatly determine the overall impression of the face, were the most significant. Only one detail in the eyes was different, which Suna hadn’t noticed until now. Eunseo had double eyelids and round, large eyes, while Chris had no double eyelids and slightly elongated eyes.

But if you look beyond the eyes, especially below the nose, they were exactly the same, as if copied. As an experiment, Suna covered the screen with her palm, leaving only the eyes visible, and it was unmistakably Eunseo.

“No wonder he didn’t look unfamiliar from the beginning… Was it because he resembles Miss Eunseo?”

While Suna was pondering this, a scene of Chris entering the room for a short interview appeared. It seemed to be shot following the previous call.

Chris: My sister was six years older than me. At the age of twelve, she… went to heaven due to an accident with Mom.

Production Team: What was your sister’s name?

Chris: I don’t remember the last name, but maybe it was Yoonseo. Since I’m Yoonho, it seems right.

“Yoonseo? Yoonho?”

The names somehow didn’t sound unfamiliar. After tilting her head for a moment, Suna suddenly sighed.

Yoon Eunseo. Yoon Eunho.

“What? The names are quite similar, aren’t they?”

Fortunately, they said the apartment deal hadn’t been finalized yet. They wanted to confirm if it suited Eunseo’s taste before signing the contract.

Eunseo vehemently tried to dissuade Seungju.

“I like the Yeonsadong house. Eunho has to wait there, too.”

“Then just buy it and rent it out.”

“I won’t live there anyway, so why bother buying?”

“Because I promised to buy it for you.”

“Well, you don’t have to go that far. I trust Mr. Seungju.”

After a long struggle, they could cancel the apartment, but the car was already bought and couldn’t be returned, so it ended up becoming Eunseo’s. At least, she couldn’t muster the courage to take the wardrobe-like house with her. Later, Secretary Choi decided to move to the Yeonsadong house.

Thus, this magical Christmas also faded away. Seungju drove her home. Eunseo said her farewell before he dropped her off.

“Be careful when you go in.”

“Is it okay to be alone?”

The man, worrying about a woman who had lived alone for over ten years, suddenly became concerned.

“Don’t worry. Mr. Seungju installed a security system.”

At a glance, it seemed to have been restored to its original state, but many things had been improved. Besides the boiler and glass that he mentioned, there were many other improvements.

Above all, traces of attention to security were evident. An intercom was installed, the wall was raised, and the gate was changed to something much thicker and securely lockable. The security system was well in place, with emergency buttons in each room and a security company mark prominently displayed on the front gate.
Seungju stopped Eunseo’s attempt to unbuckle her seatbelt.

“It’s not too late yet. It’s okay to stay a bit longer.”

“I’m tired from going around everywhere today. I just want to rest a bit.”

In truth, Eunseo didn’t want to part either. However, she didn’t want to take more of the busy man’s time.

The man, who was already a rare sight to rest even one day, took a break for two consecutive days yesterday and today. Even if they parted at any time today, Eunseo could bet that he wouldn’t go home but head straight to the office. So, she thought it would be less challenging for him if she sent him off a bit earlier.

“See you at the office tomorrow. Well, I hope I can see you.”

Eunseo said her farewell but corrected herself. The relationship between a CEO and an ordinary employee wasn’t something they would frequently encounter in the company. Except for a chance encounter.

“Then, how about having dinner together tomorrow evening?”

Seungju asked with a hint of disappointment.

“You don’t have to go through the trouble for me.”

This man’s workload was originally based on the assumption that he would work 365 days a year, from dawn to midnight. Eunseo didn’t want to burden him more, especially since work was already piling up due to his absence during the memory loss period.

However, Seungju cut her off.

“I told you. Seeing you is more important than work.”

Despite feeling sorry, Eunseo was happy. After a brief moment of thought, she proposed a compromise.

“How about coming out just for dinner and then going back in?”

“Okay.”

He reached out and unbuckled her seatbelt. Because their bodies touched slightly due to unavoidable circumstances, Eunseo instinctively shrunk her shoulders without realizing it.

“Sorry.”

“…No, it’s fine.”

It’s not that she disliked it, but she was always startled at times like this. When his touch reached her, her whole body felt a tingling sensation. It felt like her heart was beating twice as fast.
