And the next day, as Seongjun had said, he gave Seoyeon the most expensive and dazzling ring she had seen.
At that moment, the ring was on her hand. Seoyeon raised her hand to look at the ring.
‘I’m sure I lost it… How did it end up here…’
Sitting in the passenger seat, Seoyeon looked at the ring, lost in thought, and asked,
“Why did you gift such a dazzling and expensive ring?”
Then she became tense. It felt like she was talking to a ghost. At that moment, Seongjun, who had stopped the car due to the signal, turned to look at her. Seoyeon spoke again.
“Even though it’s an engagement ring, it seems too extravagant.”
Her thinly double-eyelid eyes scrutinized Seoyeon’s intentions.
Seeing that vivid expression in front of her, Seoyeon became more confused over time, almost feeling restless. She seemed anxious. After a moment of silence, Seongjun spoke.
“To bring a princess, that’s the least I could do.”
It was the most absurd thing she had heard among all the jokes she had heard in her life. Seoyeon’s eyes widened.
“Are you… joking right now?”
“There’s no way.”
In Seongjun’s expression, looking at Seoyeon as if it wasn’t a joke, there was no trace of playfulness.
Seoyeon felt more bewildered by his sincere attitude. But come to think of it, she had heard a similar story in a similar context before marriage.
He had said on their first meeting that he needed to marry her.
To secure the interests of Hanyeong Construction, flowing in line with the intentions of Chairman Taeseok Hyeon, the leader of Hanyeong Construction. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as he wished.
It might be a story in that context.
A marriage conducted for each person’s circumstances and self-interest.
At first, the people at her in-law’s place behaved rudely towards her, creating false scandals out of desire for one person’s success. When HanKyung fell into disgrace due to her brother’s betrayal, they treated Seoyeon as an enemy. It was natural. It was a fabricated scandal created out of desire for one person’s success.
Only one person, her grandfather, didn’t change his attitude. He was still strict and scary, but he didn’t discriminate against Seoyeon.
Receiving comfort from that level of attitude, Seoyeon felt relief. That’s why she was shocked when he suddenly became famous for an illness.
“Grandfather, are you well? Are you healthy?”
Seoyeon’s voice trembled slightly. She was scared to hear the answer.
“I saw you at the main house a week ago. You know I’m getting better. Maybe I’m healthier than you.”
“….!”
Surprised, Seoyeon searched her bag and found her phone. Then she checked the date on the screen.
July 1, 2020.
Seoyeon’s eyes shook intensely.
If this is not a dream, if it is not an illusion… She had come back to the past before Seongjun’s death. And she had all the memories of the past.
How can this be happening?
“I’m here. Get off.”
“…….”
“What are you doing without getting off? Do I need to undo the seatbelt too?”
“Oh, no, it’s okay. I’ll do it.”
As she hastily unfastened her seatbelt, questions arose in her mind. If it’s true that she has returned to the past, she should know about the current situation, but no matter how much she thinks, she can’t remember.
Seongjun, who used to be so absorbed in work that he couldn’t even come home early, was now like a restless person.
Seoyeon looked up at Seongjun again. Then, as if it was strange, she asked,
“Aren’t you supposed to be at work right now? How did you come?”
“The company contacted me. Said you collapsed.”
“…….”
“I told you to go to the hospital yesterday. Why waste time clinging to someone who can’t even take care of themselves? If raising a disease is a talent, it’s your talent, not mine. Not even a baby.”
The tone that made the other person uncomfortable and the cold gaze as sharp as a knife. It was exactly like the past Seongjun’s cold words that had hurt her with every word.
Not wanting to show that she was hurt, the conversation with him became increasingly awkward. With the desire not to create conflict, as the number of words decreased over time, there were days when she didn’t say a word before deciding to divorce.
But now, in Seongjun’s harsh tone, she found evidence that he was alive and ironically felt comforted.
“If you say I’m sick, it’s my fault for not going to the hospital. As an adult, I should have controlled my condition myself, but I couldn’t. I’m sorry. Still, don’t speak so harshly.”
“What?”
“Every time you say that, I don’t know what to say. I feel frustrated every time I talk to you. Sometimes I get angry too.”
“…….”
People change when something big happens.
Seeing Seongjun saying things that she would never have done in the past, she was reminded of him.
Looking at Seoyeon as if to prove himself, Seongjun’s eyes were filled with a subtle shock.
For five years of marriage, Seoyeon had never seen Seongjun, who was so flustered. No, she had never seen him in such a disheveled state. Even when he was heavily drunk, he sat upright.
