#Episode 50

 

***

 

“This is the right place, isn’t it? What was the password again? Is it the same as her last place?”

 

Beep beep beep beep beep beep.

 

She pressed the numbers consecutively, but the door lock wouldn’t open.

 

“Look at this stingy little thing changing the password.”

 

So-yeon glared at the digital door lock with her hands on her hips. She had already wasted two attempts.

 

If you get it wrong three times, don’t you have to wait about 10 minutes?

 

“Everything’s so damn annoying.”

 

She extended her index finger adorned with flashy gems from her nail art and slowly pressed the numbers.

 

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

 

“Ah, seriously. Failed again this time too.”

 

Her feet hurt from the tall high heels, and she urgently needed the restroom.

 

“Ah, whatever.”

 

She carelessly kicked off the heels she was wearing.

 

She had thrown them off in irritation, but as soon as she remembered how much the shoes cost, she hurriedly brought them back in front of her.

 

How much did these shoes cost.

 

She had poured an entire month’s salary into buying these shoes studded with Swarovski crystals.

 

So they weren’t something to treat carelessly.

 

She crouched down on the floor with her back against the front door and gently stroked the shoes.

 

What should she do now?

 

Da-som wasn’t answering her phone for some reason. Usually when missed calls were left, she would contact back, but today even that wasn’t coming.

 

“Ah, it’s cold.”

 

The cold air penetrated through her thin stockings.

 

Now past 1 AM, her bladder felt like it would burst and it was driving her crazy.

 

She should just take a taxi and go home, but then she’d have to endure her mother’s barrage of questions late into the night.

 

There’s a limit to lying.

 

Just how amazing could the Central General Hospital chairman’s son be that her mother kept going on about him – her mother’s vain expectations were growing bigger and bigger as time passed.

 

At first, she thought it would just blow over.

 

She thought she could just say they met but didn’t get along and broke up.

 

But how could she have known her mother would stake everything on that blind date.

 

Seeing those expectation-filled eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to say she had sent Da-som in her place.

 

And on the other hand, she had also thought this.

 

Couldn’t Da-som just work things out with that man and become her younger son-in-law.

 

She knew. That was all just wishful thinking for her own convenience.

 

Now it had gone beyond what she could handle alone, so she needed to discuss this part with Da-som and somehow resolve it.

 

At this rate, she felt like she’d wither away and die from stress.

 

On top of that, Ryu Han-gil, the director of the academy where So-yeon worked, had been distancing himself from her lately.

 

He had been causing discord by taking issue with So-yeon’s extravagance and past romantic history, and finally even started avoiding her.

 

“Listen, if you want to live enjoying everything you desire, there’s no way you can do it by meeting an ordinary man like your father. So humor him and date him well. In the end, when you live life, it’s about money. Money.”

 

Her mother’s words seemed right somehow.

 

And if Da-som could set her up with that doctor again, it might be okay to meet him.

 

All sorts of thoughts flowed through her complicated mind.

 

Should she try calling one more time.

 

As she rummaged through her bag looking for her phone, the elevator arrival sound chimed and the doors opened.

 

Inside, Da-som was getting off, practically nestled in the arms of a burly man.

 

So-yeon’s eyes instantly narrowed.

 

“Oh my, why are you here, unnie?”

 

Da-som spotted her and exclaimed.

 

“Why didn’t you answer your phone.”

 

As So-yeon snapped while still crouched down, Da-som took out her phone to check.

 

“Sorry. I didn’t know you called.”

 

As Da-som fidgeted restlessly, So-yeon could see the man with his arm around Da-som’s shoulder gently patting her with his large hand.

 

“Uh, this is my unnie.”

 

At Da-som’s introduction, the man’s cool eyes fixed directly on So-yeon.

 

Though he was dressed casually, So-yeon confirmed that everything the man wore from clothes to shoes were all luxury brands, and she slowly rose from her position.

 

She could instinctively tell that this man was exactly the doctor her mother had talked about endlessly.

 

So the two of them were seeing each other.

 

So-yeon stepped into her neatly placed heels one by one and stood up.

 

Even though he must have heard Da-som call her unnie, his arrogant gaze was still wary of her.

 

“Who? Tae Kang-hyeok?”

 

So-yeon turned her gaze from Kang Hyeok to look down at Da-som and asked.

 

Innocent Da-som looked back and forth between the man and her, then nodded.

 

“Yes. He’s a professor.”

 

After answering that way, she looked up at the man and introduced So-yeon again.

 

“Professor, this is my unnie.”

 

He, who had still been embracing Da-som’s shoulder, slowly lowered his hand and gave So-yeon a light bow while saying.

 

“I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Tae Kang-hyeok.”

 

His pleasant, low voice echoed through the hallway.

 

So-yeon’s eyes lit up as she extended her hand to the man.

 

“So we meet like this. Nice to meet you. I’m Jeong So-yeon.”

 

He stared down at the hand So-yeon extended, then stretched out his long arm to grasp So-yeon’s hand.

 

The hand he lightly held with one hand quickly separated.

 

It was a handshake that felt dry to the point of being perfunctory.

 

Looking at such a man, So-yeon inwardly chuckled.

 

So-yeon had an excellent eye for men. She was especially sharp in this area.

 

Most men would immediately take a liking to So-yeon’s appearance.

 

But the man’s gaze toward her was so cold that not even a trace of emotion could be found.

 

But how had he been when getting off the elevator.

 

Hadn’t he been looking at Da-som with honey-dripping eyes while keeping her enclosed in his embrace.

 

This type of man would never wander and would only care for his own woman.

 

And he would be unrestrained in his love as well.

 

When Da-som got into that difficult medical school, So-yeon had been as happy as if it were her own achievement. And she had congratulated her generously.

 

But now she was starting to feel a bit envious.

 

Her younger sister sure has a lot of luck.

 

This connection was practically something she had placed in Da-som’s hands.

 

She had kicked away the fortune that rolled to her.

 

“But unnie, why are you like this? You should have contacted me before coming.”

 

“I think I’m going to wet myself. Hurry up and open the door.”

 

There are plenty of men in the world.

 

There was no reason to have lingering feelings for her sister’s man.

 

There’s no guarantee things would have worked out with her anyway. It’s all her sister’s good fortune.

 

So-yeon gave Kang Hyeok a nod, then flipped her long hair and turned around haughtily.

 

His black eyes lightly responded to So-yeon’s nod.

 

He’s damn handsome, seriously.

 

Beep beep beep.

 

As soon as Da-som unlocked the door lock and opened the door, So-yeon rushed inside.

 

Bang.

 

“Ah, I almost died.”

 

She deliberately shouted loudly so everyone could hear, then went into the restroom.

 

Da-som shrugged her shoulders and looked up at Kang Hyeok.

 

So-yeon had always been selfish by nature.

 

“Does she come often?”

 

“No. She comes occasionally, but…”

 

Da-som trailed off and studied Kang Hyeok’s expression. This would be his first time seeing her sister in person.

 

“She’s pretty, isn’t she?”

 

She wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to say, but not knowing what else to talk about, she asked with an awkward smile.

 

Objectively speaking, her sister was indeed beautiful. So she was curious about how Kang Hyeok felt seeing the sister who was originally supposed to be his blind date.

 

Then Kang Hyeok gently smoothed down Da-som’s short hair and smiled softly.

 

“What answer do you want to hear?”

 

“Well, she’s tall and slender and glamorous and attractive.”

 

Kang Hyeok just smiled without giving an answer.

 

As Da-som waited quietly for his response, he let out a soft sigh and gently cupped her cheek.

 

“I… if she’s not my woman, I don’t care whether she’s pretty or not.”

 

“…!”

 

“What does it matter to me. I only have you.”

 

Da-som’s mouth fell open in a daze. As an answer beyond her expectations flowed from him, her heart raced.

 

…My woman.

 

Those words pierced deep into Da-som’s heart.

 

Meanwhile, to Kang Hyeok, Jeong So-yeon was merely an unwelcome guest who would disturb Da-som’s comfortable rest.

 

If he had his way, he would have wanted to put her back on the elevator and send her up.

 

“Are you okay? Should we just go back up?”

 

“Oh, no. The professor needs to rest too. Please go ahead.”

 

Looking at Da-som with eyes full of regret, Kang Hyeok slowly turned around.

 

“Alright, send her off quickly and get some rest.”

 

“Yes.”

 

He reluctantly took steps that didn’t want to move away.

 

Da-som would surely think her sister was the woman the fortune teller had chosen.

 

He held back the urge to tell her that her sister wasn’t the blind date woman he was originally supposed to meet.

 

Because she would obviously wonder what would happen with the woman he was originally supposed to meet.

 

He didn’t want to burden her with such worries.

 

Kang Hyeok turned back to look at Da-som, who was still leaning against the door waiting for him to get on the elevator.

 

“Sleep well.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

A low voice like a moan penetrated into her ears.
