Jaein took Dohyuk to a modest tteokbokki restaurant in a secluded alley near the university.
The signboard, reading ‘Established 20 Years Ago,’ looked faded and worn, indicating it had been around for at least 30 years.
In front of it, Dohyuk, with a stern expression, couldn’t readily step inside.
Even though Jaein exclaimed loudly that she would eat a truckload if it was something she liked, this seemed a bit too much.
“Do we really have to eat here, Seo Jaein? How about somewhere else…”
“The appearance might be like this, but the taste is outstanding. I’m hungry, so let’s go in.”
As Jaein firmly gripped Dohyuk’s arm, he reluctantly took his steps.
Inside the store, Jaein, looking for a place to sit, was surprised.
“Oh? Yura!”
“Jaein? And even Manager Cha?”
Yura, also surprised, quickly stood up from her seat.
Jaein, excitedly, rushed towards Yura, who was sitting at a corner table.
“When we talked on the phone last time, you said you had a prior engagement, but you were coming here today?”
“Yeah.”
A few days ago, Jaein cautiously mentioned to Yura that she was dating Dohyuk. Yura, who had recently experienced heartbreak, coolly brushed off Jaein’s concern.
“I thought you were dating, living in the same house, confessing, and even kissing. If you say you’re not dating, wouldn’t that be even stranger?”
Is that so? Anyway.
Jaein wanted to officially introduce Dohyuk to Yura as her boyfriend.
So, although they had planned to meet today, Yura had postponed the meeting to the new year due to a prior engagement.
More than anything, it was the first time Jaein was meeting Yura since the incident with Sungjihun, and she was just happy to see her.
“How did you two end up meeting here? You must be in sync.”
Above all, it was the first time Jaeein met Yura since the day she became despondent after the incident with Sungjihun, so she was just delighted.
“How did we happen to meet here? It seems like fate.”
“…Indeed.”
“But Yura, who did you come with?”
“Oh, well…”
Unusually hesitant, Yura responded.
At that moment, the store’s sliding door opened, and someone walked in.
And then.
Jaein and Dohyuk’s eyes simultaneously widened as they absentmindedly looked toward the entrance.
“Manager Kim?”
“What is Manager Kim doing here?”
“Ah…!”
Seongjun was standing frozen in front of the door.
He maintained the same posture, waving his hand towards Yura with a broad smile.
A moment later, various fried foods and sundae were arranged on the table, and the instant tteokbokki began to boil, bubbling and delicious.
Jaein, sitting side by side with Yura and Seongjun, alternately asked them questions.
“But how did you two end up meeting today?”
“Oh, last time when I was drunk, Manager Kim gave me a ride. I was grateful, so…”
“After causing such trouble, you’re trying to make up for it with tteokbokki? That’s too much, isn’t it, Manager Kim?”
When Jaein gave Yura a teasing remark, Seongjun praised Yura.
“No, not at all. Even looking like this, I’m a tteokbokki maniac. Yura said there’s a delicious place, so I suggested we go together.”
“Oh my, Manager Kim, do you also like tteokbokki? Aside from here, there’s another tteokbokki place that Yura and I often go to, and it’s been run by the third generation. Let’s all go there next time.”
“I’m okay with it, but what about our young master?”
Seongjun glanced subtly at Dohyuk.
“If it’s the third generation, how long has that place been around?”
Dohyuk, with an expression that clearly showed he wasn’t interested, mumbled.
When Jaein, with a probing look, asked Dohyuk.
“Team Leader, you’ll come with us, of course, right?”
“Well, fine.”
In an instant, Dohyuk transformed into a dignified appearance, and Seongjun barely managed to suppress his laughter.
The gentle lamb-like Dohyuk.
In truth, Seongjun found it more surprising that Dohyuk, who was as tidy as a dust particle on a clean desk, was in a shabby tteokbokki restaurant, rather than discovering him with Yura.
Moreover, he was willing to eat tteokbokki, which he usually didn’t even attempt because he couldn’t handle spicy food.
Was that all?
When Jaein offered a piece, he willingly accepted and even ate sundae, which he had never looked at before.
Seongjun found all of this about Dohyuk truly fascinating.
‘Is this the power of love? To control Cha Dohyuk, a man of many talents, Seo Jaein is truly an adept.’
Seongjun watched the two seemingly happy people with a content smile.
‘By the way, neither of them seems to have any suspicions.’
Seongjun was quite tense, fearing that Jaein and Dohyuk might have noticed something between Yura and him.
Luckily, it seemed to have passed well, so he secretly sighed with relief.
Last Saturday.
The day when it was revealed that Sungjihun and Seongjun were the same person.
Hearing the confession, Yura said this:
“Breaking up the couple bracelet seems too artificial, so I’ve decided to overlook it.”
So, due to the bracelet, Seongjun’s identity was exposed, but thanks to the bracelet, he barely managed to overcome the crisis.
