Ji Sung continued to stew in his anger, even as time passed. So Myung wasn’t like this before, she seemed to be changing continuously.
During their university days, she was the idol of her male classmates and seniors. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also kind and smart to everyone, which led to a tremendous number of male students having a crush on her.
Everyone envied him for becoming her boyfriend. Just being loved by So Myung made him feel as if he had gained the entire world. But that was the old So Myung.
It wasn’t exactly that Ji Sung had grown to dislike her. A fresh, youthful woman named Ra Hee suddenly appeared before him, and he just wanted to stake everything on her like he had once done for So Myung.
As work was almost finished, he received a message from Ra Hee.
[Oppa, do you want to come over to my house today?] Seeing her message, Ji Sung’s heart palpitated wildly. The excitement he was feeling after so long made him feel as if his heart would burst.His morning promise to come in early with So Myung was long forgotten. He was anxiously awaiting the time to leave work, constantly checking the clock.
As rumors might spread if they were seen together at work, the two always met in different places.
However, after confirming their deep feelings for each other the night before, a more intense fire had been lit in their hearts.
Despite his resolve not to meet her at the company, he yearned to see her even in the seldomused company emergency stairs. There was no doubt that he had fallen head over heels for her.
And today, she had invited him over to her place. Ji Sung felt so elated, he felt like he could fly. He stopped by a nearby flower shop to buy flowers and swung by a department store to purchase a bottle of the finest wine.
Then, he headed towards her officetel, as she had directed. A humming tune naturally escaped from his lips.
At the entrance of the house she had guided him to, he adjusted his clothes and rang the bell. The door opened, and Ra Hee, dressed in a slip, rushed out and threw herself into his arms.
Ji Sung couldn’t hide his excitement at the unique greeting.
The moment her body touched his, he had already lost his reason.
Ji Sung, almost throwing down his bag, the wine, and the bouquet of flowers on the floor, lunged at her.
The two looked at each other with intense eyes, as if they were lovers who hadn’t seen each other in years.
Ra Hee, who managed to escape from Ji Sung who was pouring kisses on her like a madman, looked at him with a strange gaze.
“Oppa, I love you.”
At her words, Ji Sung hugged her tightly and whispered sweetly into her ear.
“I love you. I love you more. I love you so much.”
“Don’t do that. Oppa, it tickles.”
Ra Hee said with a voice full of aegyo. Ji Sung’s heart felt like it was going to burst at her gaze.
He felt that this woman was worth betting his all on.
Ji Sung lightly pressed his lips against her forehead. As if his kiss was sweet, Ra Hee looked up at Ji Sung’s face and gave a slight smile. The two continued their hot and intense embrace.
So Myung felt frustrated at her continuously gloomy and lethargic self.
‘I have to keep moving, especially at times like these.’
To soothe her stifled feelings, So Myung started cleaning. Of course, she was so upset and aggrieved that she had a burning desire to give Ji Sung a piece of her mind.
However, it was hard to ignore the accumulated years of living together for ten years; the reason they couldn’t stay mad at each other for long was because they did not hold onto their bitter feelings for each other in their hearts.
When they got angry, they talked to each other to resolve it, and after that, they promised not to bring up the issue again.
‘Right, I’ll keep the promise today. It’s not just what I want, but Ji Sung wants it too.’
After cleaning, So Myung’s mood improved a bit. So Myung looked at the digital clock hanging in the living room.
Time was heading towards midnight. Suddenly, So Myung felt sad.
‘He’s not keeping his promise again today.’
She went to bed and tried to sleep, but sleep would not come. She had been sleeping for a while when she heard the sound of the front door passcode being entered, and she involuntarily opened her eyes wide.
Checking the time on the phone she had left on the bedside table, it was 3 a.m.
Ji Sung seemed a bit drunk, and staggered, casually took off his clothes and threw them on the living room floor, then went into the room and immediately fell asleep on the bed.
So Myung was angry and was about to wake him up, but seeing him snoring heavily, she decided to talk to him the next day.
She felt like she was going crazy because her heart was so stifled. She stayed up all night with her eyes open, and only managed to fall asleep as dawn was breaking. When the sunlight began to shine through her window, So Myung slowly opened her eyes.
So Myung instinctively checked the spot next to her, but Ji Sung was no longer there. Even though she was clearly living with Ji Sung, she felt the loneliness of living alone.
‘What’s the problem exactly?’
