Chapter 809.

Sequence 8

“How about we drink some soju over the weekend”

“As much as I want to drink with you, I have a prior engagement.”

“What engagement Is it a woman If it is, let me in too.”

“Its not a place you can butt in.”

“Dont tell me its Yoonseo You arent going to a place like that without me, are you”

Maru pushed Hyungseok, who was sitting on the passenger seat, with his arm.

This fellow was quite consistent in how he spouted nonsense.

Hyungseok got his bag before getting out of the car.

“Call me up if your engagement goes bust.

Ill be waiting.”

“Hey, you seem like you arent going out as much ever since you started taking this job seriously, huh I dont think youre going to nightclubs either.”

“You can only play around for so long.

I have played ever since I got discharged.

I thought about it, but it looks like Im the type of guy who would feel less tired the more I work.

When I was running a business, I would have given anything to sleep for two more hours, but now that I actually live a leisurely life without any work, life isnt as interesting.

I want to work instead of playing around.

I want to shoot throughout the night too.”

Hyungseok closed the door along with the wordssee you next time. After returning home, Maru didnt go to the bathroom and sat down on the sofa and made a phone call instead.

“Are you okay with taking a call right now”

-Yeah.

Sounds like work ended early today from how youre calling me

“I just came back after finishing.”

-Me too.

I thought todays shoot was going to be long, but it ended unexpectedly early.

I think its thanks to the director being stricter than usual.

“Your first episode airs next Wednesday, doesnt it”

-Yeah.

Yours is in two weeks, right

“From how there isnt any mention of extension of special episodes, well probably start airing in two weeks.

So youre going to watch the first episode with the team”

-Probably.

Theres already an appointment too.

Why, wanna come

“Do you think someone like me has a place there Not only that, although Im a minor actor, I am supposed to be in a competing medical drama for the same time slot.”

-I think it should be fine since theres no one who would recognize you

“Wow, you can hurt someone so nonchalantly.”

-Who told you to give up on the drama and go to the military

“There you go again.

I should stop talking about this.”

Maru took out a can of beer from the refrigerator.

Calling her after the shoot became a part of his normal life.

It had only been three days since they got back together, but everything seemed natural as though they had been doing this for a very long time.

It was true that he was calling her because he wanted to hear her voice, but he also pressed the call button out of a sense of duty because he wanted to check that she was safe and sound.

Although he had hypothesized that the rabbit cannot exert physical influence, there was nothing wrong with being cautious.

-What are you drinking

“Beer.

Its a habit of mine.”

-Dont you think you should drink less

“Its just one can, and its a small one too.

This much will actually help boost my health.”

-Says who

“The news”

-Are you sure

“Probably.”

-I dont want my future husband to be an alcoholic though.

“That future husband wants me to tell you that hes strong with alcohol and that you dont need to worry.”

He could hear her laugh over the phone.

Wait – she said before putting down her phone.

When she returned, he could hear the faint sound of a can opening over the phone.

-I should drink some too.

“You cant.

It hasnt even been that long since you got discharged from the hospital.”

-You dont sound persuasive at all.

You drink every day.

She exclaimed, saying that it was good.

-Actually, its coke, not beer.

Its zerocal too.

Even then, I would regret it if I drank all of it, so I should leave some for tomorrow.

“So its a battle of weight huh.

But are you really going to come to my house over the weekend”

-Of course.

Im going to call some people over and play around to my hearts content.

If I go outside, I would have to be concerned about other people, and renting a party room seems like a bother.

Your house was pretty big.

Some food on the island table, and a can of beer in one hand.

It makes me happy just by thinking about it.

“So you got a plan already, huh.

Who are you calling”

-Well, if you ask me that, no one really comes to mind.

Its tomorrow too.

He waited for her words as he put the beer against his mouth.

She was probably jumping around like a little child prior to a field trip.

Perhaps she had planned everything out except for the list of invitations.

When it came to playing, she was pretty thorough.

-Since were at it, should we go invite someone

“Go At this hour”

-Yeah.

Do you have time right now

Maru looked at the clock.

It was just past 9 p.m.

For actors, it wasnt a big deal since they would often have their days and nights switched around, but for people who were working or focusing on their studies, it was time to rest.

“Dont you think its quite rude to visit at this hour”

-Dont worry.

The store should still be open.

“The store”

-Ill go over to your house.

Wait a bit.

The call ended.

Maru waited as he sipped on the rest of the beer.

Not even 30 minutes later, he could hear a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw her, wearing a baggy t-shirt, pajama pants, and a cap.

“Youre supposed to be an actress, so dont you think you need to think about the fans eyes”

“If I do this, no one recognizes me.”

“I guess thats true.”

“Why Do I look ugly”

“Its definitely not something I would want to show others.

Such a defenseless side of you.”

Maru hugged her and patted her back.

Her life, his life, the repeated lives – he put those things aside for now and focused on feeling her warmth.

“Its good,” she said.

Maru also repliedyeah in a small voice.

“Lets go now.

Ill give you a ride.”

“Where are we going”

“Youll see when we go there.

Its someone you know too.”

He got in her car.

The black mid-sized vehicle went on the road.

She kept repeating that he should wait to see who it was before parking her car on the side of the high street of Banpo-dong.

Her destination seemed to be a dessert café on the other side of the road.

“Are there many people inside”

“I dont see any.”

“Really”

“Whos there”

“Youll see once we get there.”

Maru got out of the car.

She walked with her hands locked above her head and didnt seem flustered even when a couple approached her from the front.

She walked amongst the crowd with confidence that people wouldnt recognize her.

There was not a single person who looked back at her among the people who walked past.

He found it puzzling.

How could they not recognize her when she was so pretty

They entered the café.

A sweet scent that drowned the thick scent of coffee filled the store.

“Sorry, but were closed for the day,” said a woman wearing oven mitts.

The moment Maru heard that voice, he squinted and checked the face of the woman.

A familiar set of facial features could be seen below the white cooking hat that pressed down on her hair so that it didnt drape down.

It was Chaerim.

“Unni, its me.”

“What, it was you I didnt recognize you because your eyes were covered by the cap.”

“Its a pretty good disguise, isnt it”

“Yeah, I didnt recognize you at all.

Whos the one next to you”

“Unni, dont you recognize him”

She pointed at Maru with an exaggerated gesture as though she was a magician introducing the beauty next to her.

He smiled awkwardly and took a step forward.

Chaerim, who tilted her head, eventually widened her eyes.

The eyes that contained surprise changed into puzzlement and ultimately into an unrefined rage.

“Thats the guy youre meeting”

“Yep.”

“Hes the green frog on a white horse”

“Yep.”

“You need to talk with me.

And you over there! You stay right where you are.”

Maybe it was a good thing that he wasnt booted out of the store Maru watched as Chaerim took Gaeuls hands and went to the corner of the store.

He could predict what they were talking about.

Are you crazy; why are you dating him again; what do you like so much about the guy who dumped you; he felt his neck straining from the occasional high-pitched, sharp voice.

He even felt that it would be better if she said that straight to his face instead.

A long sigh followed.

Chaerim brought Gaeul back like she was dragging a lost child to the lost child center.

“Hey, did you really get back together”

“I told you, yes,” she replied.

Chaerin widened her eyes.

Her already big eyes became even bigger.

“Han Gaeul, I didnt ask you.”

Gaeul would not lose out to anyone when it comes to audacity, but it seemed that she wasnt able to win against Chaerims frosty gaze.

Maru gulped when the eyes of the two women landed on him.

He felt like he was being given a pressure interview.

One was urging him to speak, and the other was saying that she didnt want to listen to it.

He heaved a sigh before speaking,

“I dont plan to let her go now.”

“Really”

“Yes.”

“Can I trust you on that”

“You can trust me on this.”

Chaerim twitched her lips before laughing in vain.

That was her expression of this absurd situation as well as her way of showing that she was doing her best to understand.

“Its been a long time,” Maru said.

He was worried whether she would actually reply, but fortunately, Chaerim reached out her hand.

“I swore I would hit you when I saw you again.”

“You can if you want.”

“Then can you clench your teeth”

From how her small but solid-looking fist looked tense, she seemed pretty serious about it.

If Gaeul didnt intervene midway and told her to stop, she would probably have punched him for real.

“Unni.”

“Okay, fine.

I really cant do anything about you, can I”

Chaerim took off the cooking hat and smiled.

“Its been a long time, Han Maru.”

“Ive been doing well other than the fact that your current and ex-girlfriend over there came crying to me all the time.

Anyway, you definitely did change after you went to the military.

You look even more vicious than before.”

“Its better than looking docile.”

“That way of speaking hasnt changed though.”

Chaerim locked the door.

She also flipped the sign.

“Sit down for now.

I need to finish up.”

“Ill help.”

Gaeul followed Chaerim behind the counter.

Maru docilely sat at a table.

He even locked his hands together and neatly placed them on his knees.

He felt like he had to.

“Hey, dont stay still and mop the floor or something.”

“Of course, of course.”

Maru quickly got up and grabbed a mop.

He mopped with the mindset that he would not leave a speck of dust behind.

After a while, Chaerim took off her apron and came from behind the counter.

It seemed that she had finished.

“Well then.

Lets have a listen, shall we Just what happened between the two of you that made you two get back together after not contacting each other even once over these five years.”

She also added that she would shove him in the heated oven if it was nothing surprising.

It gave Maru the chills since it didnt sound like a joke at all.

He looked at Gaeul once before starting to speak while thinking that he should speak slowly so that the oven had enough time to cool.
