Si Hyun was dazed for a while.
A young woman like Si Hyun, who lived alone and worked, used to live in the apartment next door. She knew it was vacant since the woman had moved out a few days ago, having exchanged a few words with her.
But to think that Tae Ha had moved there.
Si Hyun regained her senses. She bought beer and some snacks from a nearby convenience store and rang the doorbell of the next door.
“Can I come in for a moment?”
Instead of answering, Tae Ha opened the door. Upon entering the hallway, Si Hyun looked around the small studio apartment. It had the same layout as her own room.
The room was almost empty, as if he had just moved in, but oddly enough, the kitchen utensils were well equipped.
“When did you move in?”
Sitting on the sofa, Tae Ha opened a can of beer and answered as he handed it to her.
“This afternoon.”
“But you were at the office all day today, weren’t you?”
“The moving company moved my stuff.”
“Why my next door of all places?”
Tae Ha asked back.
“Do you think I deliberately chose this place knowing it’s next to your apartment?”
Of course not. Si Hyun quickly changed the subject.
“What I mean is, why do you need to pay a monthly rent of 700,000 won for a studio apartment? You’re quite rich, aren’t you?”
Si Hyun looked at Tae Ha with newfound suspicion. If I had a fortune of 300 billion, I definitely wouldn’t live in a tiny studio apartment.
“I have a oneyear contract with the company. The house was too far away, so I needed a place to spend a year conveniently.”
Indeed, it was one of the closest studios to the company. Still, it felt too coincidental, and Si Hyun decided to accept it at that point.
If not a coincidence, then what would it be?
Upon reflection, there was nothing wrong with Tae Ha living next door. Rather, it seemed beneficial in many ways.
They could occasionally have a beer together, no need to worry about wasting leftover chicken, and he could help take out the trash like earlier.
Above all, in this dangerous world, it was unsettling for a woman to live alone, but the fact that Tae Ha was right next door made her feel safe.
Si Hyun sat a little distance from Tae Ha and drank beer.
“When did your memory return?”
“Not long ago.”
Tae Ha didn’t want to be precise in his answer. He had already regained his memory on the night of his birthday, so Si Hyun thought that he probably started to remember gradually after hearing old stories.
“Anyway, it’s fortunate that your memory has returned.”
“Why?”
“You didn’t recognize me and rushed in recklessly. I was really shocked.”
“Did you hate it that much?”
“Wouldn’t you? Put yourself in my shoes. How would you feel if I did the same to you?”
“If it was me……”
Tae Ha picked up his beer and gulped it down before he could say anything.
“I thought I was going crazy when you cut off contact overnight. What, did you hurt your head in the military?”
Tae Ha responded ambiguously, uttering, “Hmm”.
“Even so, you forgot me?”
Tae Ha cast a bitter smile as he looked away.
“It would have been nice if I had forgotten.”
For a moment, she felt a pang in her heart. What did he mean, it would have been good if he had forgotten, even after regaining his memory? Was I, to Tae Ha, something like a dark history that he wanted to erase?
Tae Ha suddenly said to Si Hyun, who was drinking her beer to hide her embarrassment,
“I was too harsh this morning.”
Si Hyun snorted in amusement.
“Forget it. How frustrated I must have been for you to say that.”
Actually, she was angry until earlier in the evening, but after hearing from Woo Jin about spoon and bridal gift, she understood.
It was not unreasonable for Tae Ha to throw it away. If I were in his shoes, I would have said to stop the marriage if the woman Tae Ha was going to marry treated me like that.
“But Woo Jin, he’s a good person.”
Si Hyun spoke as if consoling herself.
“His parents seemed like decent people. They probably just thought we would be family anyway, so they were comfortable.”
However, Tae Ha quickly wore a furious face.
“My father would never have treated you like that.”
Si Hyun was left without words.
“Why are you bringing out cheat codes all of a sudden?”
Then she remembered Tae Ha’s father. Leon Kennedy. He was Tae Ha’s biological father who found him when he was in his first year of high school.
I should have asked my father about me long ago, Si Hyun thought and asked,
“Didn’t Leon Uncle talk about me in the meantime?”
“He didn’t.”
Tae Ha’s curt answer made Si Hyun feel a little hurt. Uncle, you loved me so much.
“Is he doing well?”
“Doesn’t age, even if he’s a vampire.”
His begrudging remark made Si Hyun burst into laughter.
“He’s still cool, isn’t he?”
“Leon, who was American, made sure to visit Korea at least once or twice a year after finding his son. The last time they met was when Tae Ha was in his senior year of high school, already 7 years ago.
“So, is this the year uncle turns fortyfive…?” she thought, and Tae Ha suddenly asked,
“Do you still have a thing for our father?”
Si Hyun almost spat out the beer in her mouth.
