Seungju hesitated for a moment and then leaned towards her. Knowing that he was about to give a farewell kiss, Eunseo tightly closed her eyes. It reminded her of their first kiss.

The hot lips that persistently drew her in, as if trying to swallow her whole, just like the kiss in front of the tree last night…

Smack.

The lips that gently touched made a small sound and quickly separated. It was a pure and unmatched kiss, just like the one they shared last night in front of the tree.

“Well then, until tomorrow.”

He gently brushed Eunseo’s bangs aside and straightened up. It was a gesture that felt a bit resolute.

Entering her house after getting out of the car, Eunseo felt a somewhat strange emotion.

Even such a light kiss was exciting, but…

“Was that a dream back then?”

The first kiss, so passionate that she couldn’t even breathe, felt like a dream.

Right after the broadcast, online communities once again buzzed with discussions.

As expected, Afton’s Tearful Man, what’s there to cry about for real ㅠㅠ

Ironically, he doesn’t cry and is cool about it
Oh, I was just looking at my phone in a cafe, and I became a woman with a story because I cried ㅠㅠ

Both our dads were sobbing loudly.

└ Our mom too. She’s asking when the third round of voting is, saying she’ll give a vote to Chris.

I was worried about where to make a call since I have no family, but from the moment Chris called me ‘Nuna,’ my tears started flowing like a faucetㅠㅠ

While Seol-A, who would have been excited and jumping around if it were the past, was deep in thought with a serious expression.

‘Is this just a coincidence?’

Chris and Eunseo looked surprisingly alike.

Chris is the same age as Eunho, and his sister is the same age as Eunseo.

Moreover, their names are Yoonseo and Yunho, Yuneunseo and Yuneunho?

Chris said he can’t remember his last name. But could it be because he knows Yuneunseo as Yoonseo and Yuneunho as Yunho? Since these are names that children find difficult to pronounce, memories could have changed over time.

The problem is that Chris’s sister clearly died. Didn’t he say his mom and sister passed away in an accident, and that’s why he was adopted?

So, logically, it shouldn’t be true. Seol-A knew it in her head. But, ah, looking at Chris’s face, she couldn’t help but have doubts.

‘Someone unrelated looks this similar?’

Intuition was shouting that there was something.

“Ugh, this is driving me crazy!”

Seol-A was tearing at her hair.

Somehow, it kept bothering her, but she couldn’t talk to Eunseo about it. Already, she had gone through a lot of mental stress because of the fake sister in just a few days. How could she say crazy things like, ‘Could Chris’s dead sister be Eunseo?’ to Eunseo?

Seol-A decided to find out somehow without letting Eunseo know.

Fortunately, there wasn’t absolutely no way.

“Good morning, Seol-A!”

After Christmas passed, Eunseo greeted Seol-A brightly when she came to work the next morning. Just the day before, she was almost dead because of her sister, but in the two days, her face had brightened a lot. Love must be a comfort after all.

“I suddenly disappeared without a word the day before yesterday. Sorry about that. That… ”

“You don’t have to explain. I understood everything from the pictures.”

“Was your mother worried? I’m sorry, what should I do?”

“You should be sorry to me. Eunseo was dating and spending the night on Christmas Eve, and I was scolded by my mom, thinking I was watching Afton in the corner!”

“Oh, that was just going back to my house to sleep. Why call it spending the night outside?”

Eunseo laughed.

“When I saw the pictures, the restoration was done really well. The CEO must have worked hard secretly to do it for Eunseo.”

“I was surprised too. They replaced everything, from glass to heating, so it became really warm. Seol-A, be sure to come and visit.”
Her heart was thankful, but that wasn’t the issue now.

“By the way, Eunseo, did you watch the Afton Christmas special broadcast yesterday?”

Glancing up, as expected, Eunseo lowered her head as Seol-A thought.

“I was too busy and couldn’t watch.”

After all, this was Eunseo’s first relationship. She was spending Christmas with her loved one, so she wouldn’t have the mental capacity to watch a TV program. Seol-A wondered if Eunseo would have felt something from Chris if she had watched the broadcast. With that in mind, Seol-A asked,

“Hey, Eunseo, about your sister. You mentioned she has a surgical scar from an appendectomy.”

A few days ago, Eunseo had returned from meeting her sister, tears streaming down her face, saying she confirmed it through the surgical scar on her sister’s abdomen, even though it wasn’t her real sister.

“Which side is that scar on?”

“On the right. Why suddenly ask about that?”

“Oh, I just sometimes feel pain on my left side, so I asked. I thought it might be the appendix.”

“The appendix is on the right. But still, you should go to the hospital quickly. It could be pain from somewhere else.”

Now, all that remained was to confirm whether Chris had a scar on his right side.

How on earth would one go about checking an idol’s body!

Seol-A wrapped her head around it.
