Chapter 215: Chapter 209
Hyunwoo and Suji left the hotel at dawn and left for the east coast.
It was the first time they came to the coast to watch the sunrise.
There were few who came to see the sunrise like them because of the bad weather.
But Hyunwoo and Suji didn't care. What's important to them was not watching the sunrise, but spending time together.
The wind was pretty strong. Though it was mid-summer, the wind was cold as it was early in the morning.
Hyunwoo hugged her from behind and quietly watched the horizon on the sea.
That was it. Though it's past sunrise, the sun could not be seen anywhere because of the cloudy sky.
She didn't expect it from the start, so she had no reason to be disappointed. Both of them were watching the heartless horizon quietly as if it was more important for them to be there together than watching the sunrise.
They had breakfast at a nearby restaurant and went back to Ansan.
Suji proposed a different idea this time.
“Can I come with you to Seoul?”
Hyunwoo found it hard to accept. It didn't matter to him, but not to Chan. Chan could freely talk with Hyunwoo in the presence of Ani & Funny employees like Kyungsu and Sanggyu. But he could not if Suji were with Hyunwoo.
When Hyunwoo was hesitating, she made a sullen expression. But she quickly looked out the window as if she didn't want to show her look to him.
Suji said in a calm voice, “I can just go shopping while you're seeing him. I'll see you after you're done.”
That would not be a problem, and Hyunwoo thought it was a pretty good solution.
But he couldn't feel glad about it because she still seemed depressed, looking out the window.
“Sorry, let me try to find more time after that.”
Suji didn't reply. Maybe she was thinking he couldn't keep his promise.
Hyunwoo arrived in Seoul a little early, so he tried to soothe her troubled mind by taking her to a department store to buy clothes and a necklace.
But she wasn't interested in that kind of stuff.
What she wanted was just one thing. It was Hyunwoo to spend more time with her.
It was almost noon.
As the appointment time was approaching, Hyunwoo felt sorrier towards her.
But she let him go and said in a calm voice, “Have a good meeting. Let me take care of myself here.”
“Maybe I'll discuss with him about business. The meeting might last longer than expected.”
“Got it. Don't worry about me and have a good meeting.”
Hyunwoo hurried to the appointed place.
Left alone at the department store, Suji slowly went around the store. She didn't need to hurry because the only purpose of her staying there was to wait for him.
She kept checking the time on her watch almost every ten minutes.
Already one hour pa.s.sed, which she felt was longer than two hours.
At that moment, a strange man's voice was heard in her ears.
“Suji”
She turned her head to find a fine and handsome gentleman looking at her.
Her eyes opened wide at him. Though she saw him in a long time, she could not forget his face.
“Oh, my G.o.d! You're Jungsu, right?”
He was her senior by three years, who she met at a volunteering club in college. He was tall and handsome. As a law major, he was pretty smart, so everybody expected he could pa.s.s the bar exam easily.
Above all, he was from a rich family, so he drove a foreign car worth tens of millions of won when he was attending college.
He was also a pure-hearted guy.
In his college days, he had a girlfriend. As a freshman, he met her on a blind date with the girls form a different college.
Suji had seen her before.
In short, the couple didn't look like a good match. She had a fine figure with good character. But there was nothing special about her. She was neither beautiful nor charming.
Numerous other girls tried to seduce Jungsu, but he was not tempted by them.
That's what he said when approached by other girls.
He continued to date the girl until he graduated.
Of course, Suji liked him secretly. Maybe she might have liked his image as a pure-hearted man.
“How long has it been since we saw each other last?”
It was the first time he saw Suji since he graduated from college.
“It looks like six or seven years,” said Suji.
