“Do Ha, I know you’re very busy right now. Your world is different now. Be faithful to your new life.”
However, Hye Su had an unusually cold expression on her face.

“Your relatives from that house were already talking a lot about you. If they keep bringing up your past, it won’t be good for you. I don’t want to damage your future.”

“There’s no way it could be a scratch.”
“……”
“Did those family members say something to you?”
“No. What could we possibly… do they even know us? It’s not like that. It just seems like this would be better for both of us.”
“What’s better?”
“Do Ha, we’re uncomfortable with you now too!”
“……”
Do Ha ultimately stayed silent at those words.

Was the name Jin Seong so heavy? It was uncomfortable despite having been closer than his own mother for 10 years.

Hyun Seo, who had been watching this, could not say anything more. He was more restless than Do Ha at his mother’s harsh attitude, which did not fit the situation.

Then, Do Ha, who had been frowning, turned his head and looked at Hyun Seo. Surprised more than ever before when their eyes met, Hyun Seo avoided his gaze as if to turn away.

She was doing her best not to cry, only remembering her mother’s words to cut off Do Ha.

Hye Su’s words, to live without seeing or contacting each other anymore, were the conclusion of that day.

Do Ha, who usually had little expression, left that day with a rather hardened face.

That’s how the connection with Do Ha was severed. Even after 4 years, there was no contact from him.

Hyun Seo graduated from university and started his life as a social newbie, working in a company he preferred.

But Hyun Seo, who still often wondered about Do Ha and often thought about him, admitted to himself that he hadn’t forgotten him yet.

Even though they were not lovers, why did he leave such a long longing?

Thinking of him still made him want to see him so badly, and it hurt his heart. The afterglow of first love was indeed tenacious.

At home, they still occasionally brought up Do Ha’s story with Hye Su. It was with a regretful heart, looking back at the past that could not be returned to. It couldn’t be helped since he was a person they could never meet again.

That’s how he was becoming a fading memory of the past. The current him now seemed to have become a distant existence, completely unrelated to Hyun Seo and his mother.

The one who had the nickname of Prince Jin Seong would surely soar to even higher places.

Hyun Seo knew. That Do Ha could easily become the owner of Jin Seong.

Now looking back, it seemed that Do Ha’s ability to excel so much on his own, without resembling Young Suk at all, was probably because he resembled Chairman Chae Hyun Woo.

So, he would be able to demonstrate his ability without any difficulties and someday reach the position of chairman of Jin Seong.

Every time he thought up to that point, Hyun Seo would always end up shedding tears.

Now he should stop feeling such misery. Who would understand…

But then one day, an unexpected event occurred. Hyun Seo, who was absentmindedly looking at the ringing telephone, couldn’t believe his eyes.

Amazingly, the caller was Do Ha. It was a call that came after a whole 4 years.

His heart was beating wildly out of surprise. Hyun Seo, who was blankly staring at the screen, answered the phone with trembling hands.

“Hello?”
Hyun Seo?
The voice had become even deeper, but it was definitely Do Ha’s voice.

“……”
It’s Hyun Seo, right?
“Yes.”
… It’s been a long time, Hyun Seo.
He greeted calmly, as if the long time they had spent apart was meaningless.

“That’s right.”
You don’t seem very glad.
“Rather than that… I’m just surprised because it’s been such a long time… But why did you call?”
Do you… have time this weekend?
Suddenly he asked. Hyun Seo answered in a state of surprise all the way.

“Weekend… I’m free on Saturday… but why?”
I have something to discuss, let’s talk in person.
What could it be?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t predict it at all. Whether it was good news or bad.

However, the mere fact that he could see Do Ha again after several years was exciting enough.

Hyun Seo decided to meet Do Ha on the weekend, keeping this fact hidden from Hye Su. When he arrived at the meeting place, it turned out to be a very luxurious restaurant. One he had never been to before.

And when he finally met Do Ha again, Hyun Seo felt as if he was going to lose his breath.

He could recognize him from afar as he approached. It was the first time he had seen him in a suit.

Now twentyseven, he had truly become an adult man. His appearance, which had matured a lot, had transformed into a more sophisticated and attractive one.

His heart was beating wildly. As if he couldn’t help but be attracted to him again.

What was even more difficult than before was that he was seriously falling for him, incomparable to the innocent childhood days.

“It’s been a long time, Hyun Seo. You haven’t changed.”
“Really? You… you’ve changed a lot.”
“Me? I don’t see it… Let’s sit down first.”
First, he ordered a lot of dishes, saying we should eat something. The food was excellent, but due to his nervousness, he couldn’t concentrate on the taste.

He had known him since they were young, but he felt as if he had never been this nervous in front of him. Had the gap of several years made the atmosphere even more awkward?

Or was it because he had become so stunning that he was nervous?
