Muttering, Kang Hyun entered the bathroom.
After washing up, Kang Hyun went to the kitchen.
“But I’m a bit hungry. Is there ramen?”
“Are you hungry? I’ll prepare a meal.”
“No, I just want to eat ramen.”
Kang Hyun put a pot on the induction stove.
“I’ll do it.”
“No, I can do it.”
“Then, let’s do it together.”
Remembering the breakfast he had made for her sometime back, Yoon smiled and said, “Did you laugh while thinking about the meal I made last time?”
As expected, Kang Hyun was very perceptive.
“No.”
Yoon took bean sprouts from the refrigerator.
“That time, I didn’t have time. I’ll make it properly for you whenever I can find time. Okay?”
“Yes.”
“But why bean sprouts?”
“Bean sprouts make it refreshing. Grandpa used to eat it like this, saying it’s good for hangovers.”
“I see.”
Watching Yoon trim the bean sprouts, Kang Hyun awkwardly followed suit. Seeing his clumsy figure, Yoon burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing? Is this the first time you’ve seen someone trimming bean sprouts?”
“No, it’s just funny.”
The sight of a big man holding bean sprouts one by one and skillfully cutting them with a swift tail was too amusing to resist.
“Is it that funny?”
“Yes.”
It somehow seemed cute.
“It’s cute?”
Even though he had hardly heard the word ‘cute’ since he was a child.
“Really?”
But when Yoon said he was cute, Kang Hyun felt pleased. He wanted to become even cuter.
“Do you like cute things? Then I’ll have to trim bean sprouts every day from now on.”
At his words, Yoon chuckled, and Kang Hyun also burst into laughter.
After a while, the two of them prepared the ramen together and sat down at the table.
“Let’s eat together.”
“I ate a lot for dinner, so I’m not really thinking about it. Madam made galbitang, and it was so delicious.”
It was galbitang made with natural mushrooms for Yoon’s health. Yoon enjoyed it so much that, for the first time in a while, she quickly finished a bowl of rice.
“Really? Well, if you want anything, just ask Madam.”
Since Yoon said she enjoyed the galbitang, it was a welcome sound to Kang Hyun’s ears.
“But considering your age…”
“But there’s someone helping Madam. So, it’s okay.”
“Yes.”
Yoon suddenly thought of Hosik, who loved galbitang so much that he got excited when a place opened nearby a few years ago, claiming it was affordable. Despite being cheap, it didn’t suit Yoon’s taste, who did not discriminate against any food. However, watching Hosik enjoy it so much, along with Ok Soon, she and Yoon went there together.
Still, even though it was cheap, it didn’t meet Yoon’s undiscerning taste. However, remembering that time when Hosik, who hardly ever heard such compliments, enjoyed the food so much, it brought back a painful memory.
“Thinking about your grandparents again?”
In response to Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon smiled faintly.
“Our grandfather also likes galbitang.”
“Oh? Then, let’s ask Madam and bring some next time.”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
While having a meal, if Yoon talked, Kang Hyun listened attentively to her words.
“You really have a nice voice.”
“Oh, now that I think about it, at the last production presentation, they said my voice was the best.”
“So, your voice is good too. Does that mean our Yoon has it all?”
“I’m okay, right?”
Yoon pushed her hair behind her ear and smiled bashfully.
“What’s this feeling of pretending? It seems familiar.”
“Is it that I’m becoming like Kang Hyun?”
“Indeed, they say a good phenomenon. If you’re good, you should show off.”
While stroking Yoon’s head, Kang Hyun said, “People say I’m unlucky.”
“Whether they say it or not, what does it matter? You’re good enough.”
“Yes.”
Kang Hyun looked at Yoon, who was smiling with her distinctive crescent eyes.
“By the way, these days, Director Kang Hyun receives a lot of scripts, right? Director Kwak mentioned that.”
However, Yoon hoped that Kang Hyun, who had been injured during the filming of the last drama, would take a break.
At Yoon’s words, Kang Hyun paused for a moment before speaking.
“Well, you see, I’m thinking of retiring from acting soon.”
“What? Why all of a sudden?”
Yoon’s eyes widened at Kang Hyun’s abrupt words.
Recently, his acting in ‘Cruel Killer’ received praise, and he even received a love call from a famous overseas director. But suddenly, retirement?
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. What people say about me is right. They say I lack enthusiasm and passion for acting.”
“But everyone is praising you this time.”
That’s because the character fits me. However, I can’t keep playing such roles. And in a way, I might be taking away opportunities from others.”
“Ah.”
“Supporting those who want to act is the right thing to do. Besides, business suits me, as my father said.”
“…Yes.”
Yoon recalled what Yuseon had said before.
“Kang Hyun sacrificed a lot to protect my brother’s position. Knowing that my father considers me as a successor in place of my brother, he became an actor, which is not suitable for his hobby.”
It seemed that Kang Hyun was more suited to being a businessman than an actor.
“It’s important for Kang Hyun to do what he wants.”
“Thanks. For understanding. As expected, our Seoyoon is the best.”
Yoon stopped laughing at Kang Hyun’s words. Her long eyelashes gently rested.
“Why did you suddenly become serious?”
Observing Yoon’s expression, Kang Hyun asked.
“I’d prefer it if you called me just Yoon instead of Seoyoon.”
At Yoon’s words, Kang Hyun hesitated for a moment. Well, Yoon wouldn’t like the surname Seo.
“Well, then, should I change the surname?”
Kang Hyun stroked Yoon’s face.
“Can it be changed?”
“Of course. Is there anything that can’t be done?”
“If it’s possible, then I want to.”
Yoon wanted to live as Jung Yoon, not as Seoyoon as before.
“Then let’s change it.”
“So, it’s possible… It can be changed.”
Yoon wanted to completely cut ties with the Seo family. If possible, she wanted to live without seeing them for the rest of her life.
“Well, when I lived in Seongbuk-dong, I could see the moon outside my window.”
In that small and shabby room, there was a window where you could see stars and the moon, and at night, Yoon often stood there and looked up at the night sky.
“Whenever I saw the moon back then, I made a wish.”
“What wish was it?”
Kang Hyun asked cautiously.
“To let me live with my grandmother and grandfather again. And… to live without seeing those people ever again.”
Yoon spoke quietly.
“But my wish really came true. Thanks to you, Kang Hyun. Thank you.”
A gentle smile appeared on Yoon’s face.
“Yeah, Yuna. Your wish has come true. Now, you won’t have to meet those people again. They have nothing to do with you.”
In response to Kang Hyun’s words, Yoon nodded.
“…That’s right. They are people who have nothing to do with me.”
Kang Hyun embraced Yoon, seated her on his lap, and gently stroked her cheek.
“I see. Yuna, that was your wish.”
To think it was just a wish of a young child.
“Yuna.”
Kang Hyun called her quietly.
“Yes.”
Kang Hyun wordlessly kissed her forehead as he gazed at her.
I’ll repay it all.
I’ll make sure those who harmed you pay the price.
Absolutely.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
