Even without answering, Min Hyuk knew it was Kim Yeon Woo.
She had once mentioned that she used her birthday as her phone number.
She had managed to contact him without even giving him her number.
He had warned her not to show up again when he sent her off to Indonesia two years ago, but she ignored his warning and sided with Soo Cheol. Therefore, Min Hyuk no longer considered her his sister.
Annoyed by the persistent ringing, Min Hyuk switched his phone to silent mode.
He knew Kim Yeon Woo’s call would be nothing but trouble, probably some scheme or pathetic attempt at blackmail.
She had always been a hidden disruptor, not showing herself but causing disturbances.
Min Hyuk paused on his way upstairs to follow Da Hyun, realizing it would be problematic if Kim Yeon Woo called again in her presence.
He turned towards the study instead.
Although he had silenced his phone, it was safer to leave it in the study while showering.
Moreover, he knew if he went to Da Hyun now, he wouldn’t be able to control his desires.
“I need to clear my head.”
He needed to cool off his head and body with cold water.
Ignoring the bright screen of his phone, Min Hyuk put it back into his coat pocket.
Soo Cheol had vehemently denied knowing Kim Yeon Woo. Despite the lack of concrete evidence linking her to Soo Cheol, Min Hyuk was certain of their connection.
Regardless, he needed to send her away or keep her out of sight before Da Hyun learned of her existence.
Just when he thought he had covered his tracks in approaching Da Hyun, an unexpected issue arose.
Min Hyuk chuckled bitterly, clicking his tongue.
Well, it didn’t matter.
What mattered most to Min Hyuk was whether Da Hyun would regain her memory.
Entering the study, a shadow fell across Min Hyuk’s face.
“Do you think I’m misunderstanding your relationship with Chan? Why don’t you believe me? I told you we’re just friends. And you know who I really like, how can you say that?”
“Friends between men and women? Do you really believe that exists? If you like someone, shouldn’t you focus more on that person instead of hanging out with other men?”
“What about you, Min Hyuk? You’re meeting your ex-girlfriend, not even a friend. You thought I didn’t know?”
“What are you talking about? Did you promise to go back to America with her?”
“Han Da Hyun, don’t change the subject. We’re talking about you, not me. Oh, are you trying to cover up for that guy?”
“Kang Min Hyuk!”
Overwhelmed by jealousy, Min Hyuk had aggressively confronted Da Hyun about her relationship with Kim Chan.
Looking back, he couldn’t understand why he had interrogated her as if she were his possession.
Frustrated by his own actions and unable to give her the answers she wanted, Min Hyuk pulled out his phone from his coat pocket and checked the missed call.
He put the phone on the desk and hung his coat on the hanger.
Opening the right drawer of the desk, he picked up a black notebook, revealing Polaroid photos taken with Da Hyun.
The photo Min Hyuk had sneakily taken at a café in Gangwon Province was the only one he had with Da Hyun.
Holding it in his hand, he sat down in a chair, loosening his tie. The past wasn’t just filled with bad memories. There were more happy moments with Da Hyun before her accident.
“There were more good times,” he mused. Even though he had buried the past, alone times brought back memories of the happy days they had shared.
That was enough. If Da Hyun was happy, Min Hyuk didn’t care even if he had to live in hell.
Two days later[Dash]
Da Hyun couldn’t bring herself to tell Min Hyuk about Ji Yeon’s visit. She reminisced about the day two days ago when her lips had almost touched Min Hyuk’s. It was an ambiguous encounter, but her heart raced uncontrollably, prompting her to avoid him.
Feeling embarrassed about a mere touch of lips despite their intimate relationship, she closed her eyes and opened them again, feeling mortified. That night, she ended up falling asleep before anything could happen.
Da Hyun touched her lips. The faint sensation still seemed to linger.
Knock-knock[Dash]
“Yes, come in,” Da Hyun called out, regaining her composure as the time for Ji Yeon’s arrival approached.
The housekeeper entered, her hands clasped below her chest, bowing slightly. “Madam, everything is ready. I didn’t prepare any meals as per your request, just the tea you enjoy.”
“Thank you so much for accommodating my unusual request. I appreciate your effort,” Da Hyun expressed her gratitude.
“It’s my duty, Madam.”
The housekeeper had prepared only non-smelling fruits and her favorite tea, considering that Ji Yeon might wear perfume that could trigger Da Hyun’s sensitive sense of smell. She had also prepared measures to counteract any such issues.
“I’ll come up to notify you when Miss Ji Yeon arrives.”
“No need, I was just about to go downstairs to wait,” Da Hyun replied.
The housekeeper looked at Da Hyun, dressed elegantly, and asked with concern, “Madam, I hope it’s not intrusive to ask, but how are you feeling today?”

Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
