“Hello.”
[Do you have a schedule in the afternoon?] “Ah……no, I don’t.”
[Then, would you like to help me regain my memory? I happen to have some free time.] Yeo Woon clicked her tongue against her lips. The sudden contact was a little surprising, but since she had agreed to adjust to Seol Ji Oh’s schedule, she nodded.

“Yes. Where should we go?”
[Where do you think my memory will come back if we go?] “Um……”
The first place that came to mind was Yeo Woon’s old house. She had played there with Seol Ji Oh the most. But she couldn’t go there anymore.

Then, maybe Seol Ji Oh’s house would be a good place? Anyway, it seemed like a good idea to go to his neighborhood.

“I think it might be a good idea to go to your house, Mr. Seol Ji Oh.”
[Hmm. Yeo Woon, you’re making progress faster than I thought?] Huh?

Yeo Woon blinked in misunderstanding for a moment, then quickly added in confusion.

“Oh! Not like that! I meant the big house where you used to live with your family! I thought it might be good to visit there…… That’s what I meant.”
[Pfft.] Seol Ji Oh’s laughter came from the other end of the line. A flush crept up Yeo Woon’s face.

I think this guy is making fun of me again.

[I’m just joking. It’s a bit difficult to go to that house because it’s been left empty for so long. Then, how about coming to our company today? I have a room there. We can talk about childhood memories and the movie that made you fall for me.] Yeo Woon’s eyes narrowed. Anticipating another tease, she simply replied with an affirmative and hung up.

The sound of Seol Ji Oh’s laughter, as if mocking her, seemed to echo in her ears.

He keeps teasing me with strange things, really!

Yeo Woon sighed, staring at Seol Ji Oh’s name displayed on her phone screen.

Yeo Woon entered the building’s underground parking lot. The building she had glimpsed before entering was very imposing.

It was said that they had recently relocated their headquarters, and indeed, everything in the newly built building was clean and welldesigned, giving off a strong modern vibe.

As she took the elevator from the basement to the firstfloor lobby, she saw photos of VF’s main actors displayed like artworks. The largest one was of Seol Ji Oh.

It was a photo of Seol Ji Oh in a suit, with his uniquely chic expression. It might have been a magazine photo shoot. Next to him, she could see Han Seo Ah, Ha Eun Ju, Seo Yu Ri, Kim Ji Eon, and pictures of other currently popular actors were all lined up.

It was a lobby befitting VF, famous for representing actors. When Yeo Woon approached the information desk and mentioned she was there to see Seol Ji Oh, she was promptly guided to the 9th floor as if he had informed them in advance.

Yeo Woon took the elevator up to the 9th floor. The floor was arranged in a hallway style with rooms lined up one by one. Among them, she found a room with Seol Ji Oh’s name on it.

Seol Ji Oh’s office?

When Yeo Woon knocked on the door, a voice from inside told her to come in.

“Hello.”
Seol Ji Oh’s room was wider and simpler than she had expected. There was a desk and a chair for office work, and a large, appealing sofa was placed in the center. It was big enough for about eight people to sit around.

As Yeo Woon entered, Seol Ji Oh, who had been leaning against the desk, strode over and sat down on the sofa, motioning for her to sit as well. Yeo Woon sat a little distance from him, feeling stiff.

“So, you’re the director?”
“Ah, it’s an honorary position. I only participate in decisionmaking from time to time. It’s more like a place they gave me so I wouldn’t go to another company.”

“Ah…… I would probably do the same. Seol Ji Oh isn’t just an ordinary actor, after all.”
Seol Ji Oh raised his eyebrows, then changed his expression and asked Yeo Woon.

“So, did you really fall for me while watching ‘Tomorrow with You’?”
“Oh, that! I said that because I was in front of the director. Rather than falling for you…… it was just very impressive. It’s fascinating, isn’t it? To hold onto your first love for so long.”
“…Don’t you remember your first love, Yeo Woon?”
“My first love?”
Yeo Woon thought hard.

First love? Who was my first love?

She couldn’t think of a face to associate with the term “first love.”

Is it only me? Does everyone else live with a first love they can’t forget, etched in their heart?

“Actually, I’m not sure. Do you remember yours, Seol Ji Oh?”
“Well, since it came up, let’s ask. Did I have someone I liked when I was young? You might know, having followed me around for 6 years.”
Someone Seol Ji Oh liked……?

Did such a person exist?

Yeo Woon tried to recall. However, nothing particular came to mind.

“I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve ever heard such a thing.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. You always received lots of confessions, but I don’t think you ever dated anyone.”
Seol Ji Oh looked at Yeo Woon, nodding his head slightly. As he stared at Yeo Woon’s face, he opened his mouth.

“I sometimes have dreams.”
“Pardon?”
