Ra Hee, looking at him who was only looking at her, said,
“Jae Yoon, I have a boyfriend.”
With a surprised expression, Jae Yoon looked at Ra Hee and without hesitation opened his mouth.
“Come back to me.”
“I don’t want to.”
“I will do better.”
“I’m going to marry that man.”
With a determined expression, Ra Hee spoke.
“What’s so great about him?”
“He has a lot of money and ability.”
“Is that all?”
“No, he’s a much cooler person than you.”
“But eventually you’ll come back to me, like before.”
“When I did come back, you were the one who rejected me.”
Ra Hee looked at Jae Yoon with eyes full of resentment and her voice shook.
“Yes, in fact, I’m tired too. You were never satisfied with me and always looked elsewhere. Do you think that man would be any different?”
“He’s different.”
“Don’t be so sure. You should not have shown up when I called. You need me too, at times like this.”
Ra Hee looked at Jae Yoon, who seemed to be seeing right through her.
“Don’t talk like you know everything about me.”
Ra Hee said, looking at Jae Yoon, her voice sounding sad.
“Ra Hee, let’s just start over, the two of us. You should get treated too.”
“What?”
“You now give in to me. Why are you wandering like this?”
Jae Yoon looked at Ra Hee with pity.
“Jae Yoon, I don’t even understand myself.”
With his head down, Jae Yoon looked at Ra Hee, who couldn’t say a word, with pity.
“To be honest, I really hate you. Meeting another guy behind my back too. But I keep missing you and I feel so frustrated, but I can’t do without you.”
Ra Hee couldn’t say a word, her head lowered.
Then, Jae Yoon wrapped his arms around Ra Hee’s shoulders and said,
“I’ll wait. Come back when you’ve sorted things out.”
Ra Hee lifted her head and looked at Jae Yoon. In truth, Jae Yoon was like a home to Ra Hee.
Whenever she met someone else and grew tired of them, she would seek him out, momentarily thaw in his warmth, and then set off to find someone else.
He was that kind of person. One she could always return to.
However, Jae Yoon had coldly rejected Ra Hee when she came to him again. Ra Hee had felt a strong sense of emptiness, thinking she could never return to Jae Yoon again.
Then, seeing Ji Sung and falling for him at first sight, she struggled to win him over, while Jae Yoon slowly faded from her memory.
However, even her passionate love with Ji Sung was suddenly failing to give her any satisfaction. She even began to feel disappointment in Ji Sung’s indecisive behavior.
Around the time when she was captivated by the thought of whether she could truly trust this man and spend her entire life with him, she unexpectedly received contact from Jae Yoon again.
In truth, Ra Hee greatly missed Jae Yoon. The only person who could understand her exactly as she was, was Jae Yoon.
She started to question if Ji Sung would love her just as she was if he knew about her complicated personal life.
In order to see Jae Yoon, Ra Hee even lied to Ji Sung. She was a woman more loyal to her instincts than her reason.
While looking at Jae Yoon, Ra Hee said,
“Give me some time to think.”
Upon hearing Ra Hee’s words, Jae Yoon paled and said,
“Alright.”
“I’ll go.”
“I’ll take you.”
“No. I’ll go alone.”
“Un… understood.”
Ra Hee abruptly stood up, glanced briefly at Jae Yoon, and confidently exited the bar.
Jae Yoon blankly watched her back as she left the bar.
She was always brimming with confidence, so haughty. But to his eyes, her expression seemed to contain sorrow.
He saw her pain, unknown to anyone else.
He felt pity for her and wanted to wrap her in warmth. He decided to heal her wandering soul with his love.
He pledged, over and over again, to stake his life on her.
When Ra Hee entered the house, Ji Sung was already asleep on the bed.
Looking at the sleeping Ji Sung’s face, Ra Hee let out a light sigh.
‘Could I stake my entire life on this man?’
Ra Hee, unable to sleep, stepped out into the living room and took a beer out from the refrigerator.
Sitting on the sofa, she popped open the beer can and brought it to her lips.
Everything seemed to be going her way, but she couldn’t understand what this uneasy feeling was about.
She poured more beer into her mouth.
It seemed like sleep would not come easily tonight.
Ji Sung, who had been pretending to sleep in bed, became even more upset when Ra Hee went to the living room and didn’t return for a while.
If it had been her in the past, she would have cuddled up to the sleeping Ji Sung, playfully asked if he was angry, and tickled his face with her sweet lips. What exactly had gone wrong?
Because of his pride, Ji Sung was left fretting, unable to approach Ra Hee.
A while later, Ra Hee returned to the bed. Ji Sung, lying with his back turned, had hoped that she would warmly embrace him, but she didn’t approach him.
A crack started to form slowly between the two of them.
The next morning, Ji Sung was in the middle of getting ready for work in his suit. So Myung had always prepared the clothes and socks Ji Sung was to wear the next day and placed them on the table in the dressing room.
