Yoo-Jin's heart was pounding, and she felt as if her heart would never be there again

Where she realized that the man who was stepping in their direction now was the same person, signs of fear, anxiety, and tension possessed her,

Every step he takes, she feels as if he is stepping on her heart and her dignity

Dak-Ho rose from his seat when the man approached the dinner table in Yoo-Jin's astonishment

“Lee-Hyuk, how are you, man… When did you come back from abroad?”

Yoo-Jin spoke to herself as she felt even more uncomfortable

"How could Dak-Ho get to know him? When did they meet? What is the relationship between them so that Dak-Ho give with such a welcome, it is not Dak-Ho’s character at all!”

Lee-Hyuk replied, “I came back about a month ago. I arranged my affairs here and opened my clinic in the center of the capital. You and your wife should come soon.”

Dak-Ho replied, "Yes, of course, we should ¸ Right, I need to introduce my wife, she's Yoo-Jin, a doctor in your same specialty...."

Lee-Hyuk interrupted him, "Yes, I know, Dr. Yoo-Jin, hello."

Yoo-Jin was turning her eyes to the ground, unwilling to look at his face, but she felt that this would make Dak- Ho uncomfortable.

She quickly raised her head, and found his face opposite her, looking at her with a cold smile and his eyes full of challenge.

She quickly replied, "Hello, Mr...."

Lee-Hyuk laughed, then continued, "Mr..... Excuse me, Duck Ho, what is this, don't you know Mrs. Yoo-Jin?"

Dak-Ho looked at Lee-Hyuk strangely and was confused and Yoo-Jin didn't know what to do now

Dak-Ho replied, "What is this Lee-Hyuk, have you met Yoo-Jin before?"

He replied, "Yes, of course. We were close colleagues at the university. Do you know that she chose this major because of me?"

Dak-Ho replied with a change in the tone of his voice, he is now feeling uncomfortable, why is he talking to his wife like that, and why did she deny that she knows him, maybe Lee-Hyuk is mixing it up with someone else......

Yoo-Jin responded quickly

“Ah hello Lee-Hyuk, sorry I didn’t know you before…”

Dak-Ho got annoyed more than before and then continued,

“Well, I didn't know that you were both studying at the same university.”

Lee-Hyuk replied,

“No, we haven’t communicated since we finished college. I went abroad to complete my education. I was supposed to graduate from university, but for some reason beyond my control, I had to go abroad and continue my studies there.”

Lee-Hyuk was speaking while looking directly into Yoo-Jin's eyes, but Yoo-Jin was looking at the empty plate of food, an unenviable situation and she didn't know what to do now.

Dak noticed that Yoo-Jin was behaving unusually, and this made him feel, and there was something suspicious in the two of them.

Then Dak-Ho said, "Tell me, how did you convince Yoo-Jin to enter this major, were you, friends, that much?"

Yoo-Jin felt that the situation was getting worse every second that passed with the three of them in one place

But Lee-Hyuk quickly replied with a sarcastic laugh, "Haha, not at all, let me tell you the story behind this.

During our college years, Yoo-Jin and I were like cats and mice, she always won first place and I second, imagine with me that, guys studying medicine and There is a competition between them, what is the form of the existing relationship, until one day, I got a higher degree than her in a subject that falls under the subjects of obstetrics and gynecology– she got angry and talked to the professor who gave me a higher grade than her, how can I get a higher grade than her in any subject, then she suddenly entered the classroom,

She said, "You ¸ Lee-Hyuk, don't think you beat me today, what major do you want in the future?"

I answered her quickly I think because of my confusion that she asked me without any preamble

I told her, "Obstetrics and Gynecology."

She replied quickly and firmly, "Okay, work hard because I'm going to specialize in the same field as you, and let's see until the end who is better!"

Lee-Hyuk laughed and looked at Dak-Ho, then continued his speak

"This is the reason, and I was really surprised when I came back that she is already a well-known doctor now with the same specialty, and I knew that she got married too, but I did not know that you are her husband."

Everyone was silent at this moment, then Yoo-Jin pretended to laugh and said, "Yes, I was a competitive student, I admit it.

Dak-Ho replied, "Yes, she and I got married right after graduation and we now have a baby, his next birthday is coming up to be at ………."

Yoo-Jin interrupted their conversation and then said,

"And you Lee-Hyuk, you're not married yet?"

Dak said, "Right, you're definitely over thirty now."

Lee-Hyuk replied, “I tried to get engaged again, but my bad experience made me not want to go through this again.”

Dak's reply is, "Um if the reason behind this is, a girl left you..., why did she leave you?"

Lee-Hyuk replied, "Would you believe me if I told you, I don't know, my friend?!"

Then Dak interrupted him, "You should try to meet her again."

Lee-Hyuk replied, looking at Yoo-Jin with a sly look,

"I'm already doing it; I'll be selfish this time."

Dak-Ho's phone rang, and he got up from the spot where his father was calling when he got away from the place for a bit.

Yoo-Jin said, "What do you want from me now?"

Lee-Hyuk replied, "I haven't even started, you're the one who showed up again? Don't you remember that day too?"

In the emergency department

Lia muttered incomprehensible words, "Sujin... Sujin... don't leave me... I'm scared."

Ji Ho was shocked when he heard these words, it's pronounced as Sujin, do she mean, Subin brother Sujin or what?

When Min Ho heard Lia, he started patting her as if he saw it a lot. Ji Ho was surprised by this reaction, and said to him, "It seems like you do this a lot."

Min Ho replied in a low voice,

"Yes, Lia was always like this, every time we used to study together in the university library late, where she was often sleeping, she would repeat these words and wake up crying or frightened and.....

Lia wakes up frightened to see both in front of her

Min Ho holds her hand with signs of joy and happiness on his face that she has woken up

"Lia, you finally woke up, forgive me, I'm really sorry, I'm the reason why you lay like this."

“Okay, okay Min Ho, let’s talk later, where am I, no I mean why am I here… and why sir… Mister Ji Ho is here?”

Ji Ho replied, "You fainted as you seem to be allergic to shellfish... then we brought you here for treatment."

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Ji Ho," replied Lia. "I really didn't know I had that kind of sensitivity."

Then she looked at Min Ho with a change in her tone of voice

"You, Min Ho, always make a bad choice, you insist on seafood, look what happened to me because of your super ideas."

"I'm sorry, I have nothing to say."

"What is this, Min Ho, what's with that look?"

He fills her a glass of water and then gives it to her,

"I'm sorry, Lia, so drink water and accept my apologies."

“Haha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-boy, I’m kidding, then she spilled some water on Min Ho.”

Both Min Ho and Lia laughed, then Min Ho continued,

"Here it is Lia, she's back, I've checked on you now."

While they were laughing, Ji Hoo was looking warm and nostalgic as he saw Lia laughing as Subin was laughing and then said to himself,

"No one can have this resemblance, as she mentioned the name Sujin, it must be her, but again Ji Ho back to this nonsense, you know very well that Subin died in front of your eyes, it couldn't be here, but I would really go crazy, no, I went crazy, I don't know what to do... Should I stay away from her as much as possible? I'm not sure enough, missing Subin and stealing her looks and laughter might drive me crazy already, but I should be concerned about Sujin now, and get to what really happened the day Subin died... well, that's what I should think of him and to stay away from Lia, that's the right thing to do." Then he looked in their direction

"Min Ho, I'm going to have to leave now

, Lia, I'm glad you're getting better, I hope you can start your life quickly. Bye."

Min Ho said quickly, "Wait, Ji Ho...."

"Yeah, who is it, what do you want?"

I'm sorry, but Lia said she wants to go home, and I don't have a car, I think it's better for her."

Ji Ho replied, "Don't you think it's better to wait tomorrow? According to what the doctor said?"

"No, I spoke to the nurse before Lia woke up, she told me that it was okay to go home when she woke up because the treatment sufficed for her to start her life normally again."

Ji Ho replied, "Okay, let's go, but man, why don't you have a car when you're rich?"

Min Ho quickly replied, "The truth is it's the first day since I came back, I haven't gone home yet, you know how boring and cold it is."

Ji Ho smiled, then continued, "Yeah, I know that did you tell her that?"

Min Ho replied with a wide smile and put his arm on Ji Ho's shoulder

“Of course, brother, the truth is that I already told her, I knew you wouldn’t refuse, my handsome and kind teacher.”

Ji Huo pulled his hand off him, then smiled and said, "Are you always so exaggerated?"

Min Ho replied, "Of course not, I only do it for those I appreciate."

Ji Ho replied sarcastically, "You're exaggerating again."

They both laughed and then Ji Ho said, we should finish signing her exit papers today, let's go."

Lia finished getting dressed and got one last medical check-up before leaving the hospital.

"Have you finished the papers already? I forgot about that and was on my way out."

Min Ho replied, "Ji Ho is the one who remembered that."

"Thank you, Mister Ji Ho," replied Lia, smiling at him

Don't smile like that, it torments me more, I can barely hold my breath by insisting that Subin left this world, please stop smiling

Min Ho fells that time had stopped at Ji Ho, as Ji Ho did not continue his conversation with Lia, he just looked at her

"Ji Ho, let's go, it's already late, I know how busy you are, famous and multimillionaire."

Lia laughed and said, "You'll never grow up."

The three of them got out and sat in the car, then a while passed and they were in complete silence, then that silence was broken by Min-Ho by saying, "What are these guys, are you shooting a silent movie or what??"

The three of them laughed and then Lia replied,

“what do you want now, Min Ho, we're on our way home and we're finally going to sleep, our activity level is at the lowest range now, you're the one who's always very active and never gets tired of talking.

Min Ho replied, "Yes, but I'm glad I met Mister Ji Ho, you too, Lia, it's been a while since I've seen you."

Lia replied, "Right, I forgot to ask you, how did you come to the Elite Companies Compound? Was it a coincidence or were you watching me? Or what?"

Min Ho replied,

"Haha, well, it's weird that you're asking about that now, so hear the news, I've already applied for a job for fresh graduates at Elite Systems and Applications, and today I was taking technical exams."

Lia replied,

"Are you joking as usual, or are you serious?"

Min Ho replied,

"No, that's right, I didn't know that I would find you there. Of course, I knew that you had been aspiring since studying to come back here and work in this company, but I did not hope that chance would meet you today, I expected that to happen after I was appointed."

"Coincidence," replied Lia, "but I won't scold you for not telling me nothing, just because it's a good coincidence, I'll stop."

Ji Ho interrupted them, "Why, did you want to work for Elite Group?"

Ji Ho noticed the silence of both due to the strangeness of the question.

He continued, "I mean that there are companies in America of the same level as this company? Why did you decide to work in this company?"

Lia replied, "Well, that is relatively true, but I remember reading an article by Mr. Min Ki, in which he talks about how his life turned from a miserable poor kid to a famous application developer. I guess that it will be great if I could be able to work under his leadership, I have decided to come back to live and settle here, as I have other things, I want to accomplish..."

Min Ho replied, “For me, two reasons one is that it is the biggest company in the field, and the second reason is that I want to prove to my brother and dad that I can build myself independent of them. Did you know that you were my inspiration when I was taking some of your private lessons? Your eagerness to work independently with success in your studies.”

During their conversation, Ji Ho arrived at an intersection and asked Lia

"Here we arrived at the area you mentioned in the address. What is the building number?"

She replied, "Building No. 205."

Ji Ho was silent for a moment, then stopped the car, so Lia continued her speech, ignoring that he stopped the car

"Then you must take the intersection to the right, sorry, because I always ride the bus, I don't care much about the road, I'm not one of the people who remember the roads no matter how I'm passing them."

The Ji Ho said,

“Yes, I must tell you, her adventures in this matter, and how often she calls me to ascertain the place”

Then Ji Ho looked at her and said in a voice mixed with nostalgia and anger

"So, you've been living here? Since when? Do you know Su-Bin? Su-Jin? I heard you say his name today?"

Could it all be a coincidence? Why are you doing this to me? Seriously, who are you?!! "
