“Could it be that… I liked you, Nuna?”
Eunseo momentarily froze, then burst into laughter.
“Ahahaha!”
Kwon Seungju is the heir to Daewon Group, and she is just a low-level employee. Sitting together and talking like this is only because of the unique situation. If not for this, they would have had no interaction in life. At most, she might have had to plead with him pathetically.
But who likes whom?
“You have a good sense of humor. Oh, I’m dying of laughter.”
While she was laughing and wiping tears, Seungju was completely serious.
“That’s right. If someone gets hit by a car for another, it means they really like that person, doesn’t it?”
Hearing this, it seemed like he truly believed it, so Eunseo sighed and started to explain.
“I didn’t want to tell you because I thought you might want to die.”
It seemed better to clear up any potential misunderstandings beforehand.
“When I went to ask you to delay the demolition of this house, I told you about losing my brother and that I wanted to wait just one more year. Do you know what you said?”
“What did I say?”
“You said he’s probably dead.”
Seungju looked shocked.
“Really? Did I really say that?”
“Yes, you did. And you told me not to waste time on useless things.”
Assuming Seungju said that about Eunho being dead as a kind gesture to give up false hope, but then intentionally advancing the demolition schedule was indefensible. It was a clear act of torment.
Realizing he couldn’t excuse himself, Seungju looked downcast.
“I’m really sorry, Nuna.”
Instead of reassuring him that it wasn’t his fault, Eunseo just glared at him.
“Just wait. Once your memory returns, I’ll definitely ask why you did that.”
It was a joke, but Seungju became serious.
“What if I don’t remember you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“In books and movies, when someone regains their memory, they often forget what happened during the time they lost it… What if that happens to me?”
The moment she understood his words, Eunseo felt a sinking feeling in her heart.
If that happened, the Seungju in front of her would vanish without a trace.
Suddenly overwhelmed, Eunseo was startled by her own reaction.
After all, the demolition had been stopped. So, when his memory returns, and the guest disappears, she should welcome it. Why does she feel this way?
Unsure what face to make, Eunseo forced a smile.
“What can you do? Then you just can’t ask, that’s all.”
“Why can’t you ask? You should ask and be angry.”
But Seungju was persistent.
“Even if I don’t recognize you, don’t treat me like a stranger. Treat me just like you do now.”
Eunseo was flustered. Why was he so serious, as if it were a big deal for her to treat him like a stranger?
Feeling her face flush, she stood up, heading towards the kitchen.
“I’m hungry. Is the rice ready?”
[Star Icon]During lunchtime, Suna came to Eunseo’s desk and, looking around, whispered.
“How’s our Seungju? Studying well?”
Eunseo proudly replied.
“He’s incredible. Memorized 10 years of financial statements in just three days.”
“Amazing,” Suna clicked her tongue in amazement.
“Typical Kwon Seungju, never lost his edge. He might be able to return sooner than we thought?”
“It seems possible. As long as his acting skills support him.”
Acting was as important as the level of knowledge. If he could convincingly act like the adult Kwon Seungju, even minor mistakes could be overlooked.
The problem was the lack of material. To get a reference, they needed videos of him speaking and moving, but all they had were a few short news clips on YouTube.
“We don’t have enough material.”
Eunseo expressed her concern, to which Suna sighed. Not a sigh of defeat, but one that seemed to indicate she had been hiding her strength, waiting for the right moment to shine.
“Ahhh… has the time finally come for my external hard drive to shine?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Come here and see.”
Suna booted her computer and connected her external hard drive. As she navigated to a folder, a list of video files appeared. Eunseo’s jaw dropped at the sight of dozens of video files.
[Dash] 20200103 Inaugural Speech [Dash] 20200823 New Employee Training [Dash] 20210102 New Year’s Address“Incredible.”
These were videos shot at internal company events. Not typically shared publicly, but kept for internal records.
And she had even collected brief news clips.
“How did you manage to gather all this?”
“I’ve been collecting them stitch by stitch since university. I got internal videos by bribing Eunju, a colleague in the general affairs team, with pig’s feet every quarter.”
Eunseo was amazed. Never underestimate a fan’s dedication.
“Thanks so much. I’ll pass this to Seungju.”
“Speaking of which, can I come over tonight with pizza? Or maybe chicken and beer?”
Suna asked coyly, but Eunseo shook her head.
“Seungju is too busy studying. Come over the weekend.”
“Aish, I want to see our Seungju.”
Hesitating a bit, Eunseo then advised Suna.
“And Suna, don’t get too attached to Seungju.”
“Why?”
