Irene, who had succeeded in surprising Aaron, immediately grabbed her bag from under the table and stepped out of the room, leaving Aaron, who still sat with a shocked expression while staring at Irene's steps as they stepped out."Wasn't she the one who invited me here? Then why did she come out first and leave me?" Aaron sighed, shaking his head.***Irene immediately took her cell phone from her bag after successfully getting into the car to contact someone she believed could assist her by providing information about Suzy's whereabouts."Hello, Alison? Can we meet for a while?" Irene stated after the call was successfully connected.Being Noah's best friend at school until now, Irene is certain Alison knows a lot about Noah's relationship with Suzy. Irene was also certain that Alison knew where Suzy lived.When the call ended, Irene and Alison decided to meet at a restaurant not far from their respective workplaces.Irene arrived at the restaurant after about 15 minutes of driving.
The woman nodded slowly, "That's the only information I can give you."The woman started walking away after lightly patting Irene's shoulder. Irene, who was initially surprised when she learned the hospital's address, rushed into the car.Her feet began to press the gas pedal to go to a hospital that she already knew the address.About 15 minutes later, Irene arrived at the hospital. She dashed inside, specifically to the reception desk, after getting out of the car."Excuse me, is there a patient named Choi Suzy?" she inquired."I will check it first. Wait for a second, please," the woman said as she began to open a book containing a list of patients.Soon after, the woman nodded and said, "Yes, there is. May I inquire as to your relationship with the patient?""I'm her friend. What room is she in?""She's on the third floor, in Jasmine's fourth room, Miss," the woman explained."Thank you."Irene took a quick step back to find the elevator that would take her to the third floor.Ire
Irene widened in disbelief, "H-how did you know Noah and I were married?"Suzie smiled. When she decided to end his relationship with Noah, their relationship became increasingly strained as they both graduated from high school.However, Noah has continued to try to visit Suzy at home, despite Suzy's best efforts to avoid him.Until one day, Suzy became sad because Noah was no longer trying to come to see her. Nonetheless, Suzy was happy because Noah had finally forgotten about her.About two years later, one of Suzy's neighbors came to her house. The woman handed a wedding invitation letter to Suzy."A handsome man approached me and handed me this. He asked me to give it to you," the Woman explained.Suzy accepted it, but she was disappointed. Suzy became down after learning that Noah would soon marry a woman she knew.But everything has happened. Suzy, who had purposefully left Noah due to cirrhosis, could not regret what she had done. Suzy would be happy if Noah were happy as well.
Irene turned to Noah, who was in the television room, "Why are you surprised?""You, too. Why are you surprised?" Noah, who had previously been staring at his cellphone screen, began to look at Irene.“T-this message, did you get it too?” Irene quietly said while looking back at her cell phone screen.Noah took a step. "Of course," he said until he got out of his unit.While Irene was still silent with surprise, "How could they plan everything so quickly?" she complained.***After getting out of the car, Irene's steps were greeted by security who was on guard in front of her company building.Irene returned the security guard's smile before walking away with a sluggish face.When she arrived at her room, she found another bouquet of roses from Noah.Still, with a sluggish face, Irene reached for the flower, "Why do you always have to be romantic only when I'm in the office? Noah, did you like the plan our parents made?” muttered Irene.If Noah had also loved Irene, the honeymoon plan
While focusing on her cellphone screen, someone from the outside knocked on Irene's door."Come in," Irene shouted from her seat.When the door opened, Yeri walked over to Irene's desk, carrying an envelope."There's a delivery for you, Miss Park," Yeri said as she handed the envelope to Irene.Irene frowned as she took the envelope from Yeri's grasp, "Oh, for me? From who? Irene inquired."This is from your mother, Miss. So I'll excuse myself and return to my place.""Yes, please. Thank you in advance." Irene said to Yeri, who bowed before finally leaving Irene's room.Irene flipped through the envelope, frowning as she guessed what was inside. She then opened it quickly.Her eyes widened when she saw the plane ticket and lodging for their honeymoon destination."Gosh, they're taking their preparations very seriously." Irene sighed.Not long after, Irene's cell phone, which was on her desk, rang. Irene picked up the phone when she saw her mother's name on an incoming call.'Yes, Mom.
"Of course," Alison smiled at Noah, "After all, flowers are living things, too. Shouldn't we be kind to other sentient beings?"Noah sighed, “Yeah, yeah, okay. You always win in casual debates.”"So, when are you and Irene leaving for your honeymoon?" Alison looked back at Noah with his smile.***'Yes, Mom. Don't worry about it. I'll start packing as soon as I get to my room.' Irene continued walking towards her apartment unit.‘You can tell me if you need help.’When the elevator door opened, Irene took a few steps outside until she came to a halt in front of the door to her apartment unit.'Alright, Mom.' Irene said with resignation.'Okay. You must have arrived, right? Get some rest before you begin packing. We will take you to the airport tomorrow.' Hara said with a cheerful tone.Irene took a deep breath as the call ended, and she stared at her cellphone screen. Irene entered after successfully stuffing the phone into his pocket."Has he not arrived yet?" Irene said quietly, loo
Irene sighed as she followed Noah out of the elevator first.When they arrived in the lobby, their parents were waiting to take them to the airport.Hara and Sharon smiled while Irene and Noah approached their parents with straight faces."Have you checked to make sure nothing is left behind?" Sharon inquired of both Noah and Irene.Irene smiled faintly, "Yes, I have prepared everything.""How about you?" Sharon looked at her only child."I have," Noah said flatly."That's great. Let's get in the car." Sharon said as she wrapped her arm around Noah and led him to the car.Hara, who smiled at Irene, embraced Irene's arm and followed Sharon and the others.It takes about 45 minutes to get to the airport. Along the way, Irene could only sigh and stare out the window with a glum expression while her parents and Noah's parents were cheerfully discussing their honeymoon trip.Noah, who was also sitting near the window, could only stare at it with a straight face.They arrived at the airport
"Come on. There's no need to pretend anymore," she said."I swear I never sent you any flowers." Noah made a serious face at Irene, "Even every morning, I always receive flowers from you. You can ask Alison how many flower bouquets I received.""I also swear if I never send you flowers. So, who has been sending us flowers?" Irene muttered.Noah remained silent, but she named Alison as a suspect. Because, if not Alison, who else would send flowers to Irene on his behalf?"Did our parents send the flowers?" she inquired.Noah, who remained silent, immediately changed his mind. Irene was right; perhaps the flower bucket was an act of their parents, who wanted to see him and Irene fall in love."You are right. Maybe it is their doing. Ah, never mind. I want to take a bath." said Noah, who then took a step to get a towel before finally going to the bathroom.Irene took her phone from her pocket as she walked out of her hotel room.Irene tried to tell Crystal that it wasn't Noah who sent he
Irene kept staring at Noah. When she felt Noah's hand grip her wrist, her heart skipped a beat."I need to go to the bathroom," Noah said as he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.Noah stood behind the bathroom door, his heart still pounding."I must be crazy," Noah said.***Noah, who had just finished taking a shower, began to walk outside while wiping his wet hair with a towel."Yes, Mom. There's no need to be concerned. I'll keep you updated later." Irene entered the room after finishing the phone call."Is that my mother?"Irene nodded, "Yeah, I told her you were sick, so you didn't come to work today." "You shouldn't have to call her because I'm fine."Irene stepped towards Noah while putting her cell phone in her trouser pocket."Your body temperature is still quite high," Irene said after trying to place her hand on Noah's forehead. "Hurry up and get changed, and we'll go to the hospital. I'll be waiting for you outside."Irene stepped outside and waited for Noah to get
"I am home," Irene said after successfully entering her unit.She looked around the television room, but Noah was not there. Irene entered her room and tried to open the door.Irene noticed Noah lying on the bed with a blanket over his body.Irene smiled and let Noah rest while she began walking towards the bathroom to take a shower because it was already 9 p.m.A few minutes later, Irene, who had finished bathing and put on her pajamas, walked to the bed and lay down there.Irene grabbed her phone to explore social media because she wasn't tired yet. Not long after, Noah, who had been lying with his back to Irene, shifted his position so that his body faced the ceiling of the room.Noah's hand landed on Irene's left hand, which was lying on the bed, while her right hand was busy holding a cell phone.Irene's brow furrowed as she felt Noah's body temperature. Irene immediately sat up, put her phone away, and touched Noah's brow."Gosh, his body temperature is so hot," she said.Irene
Irene stopped in front of Alison and Crystal with a smile."Wow, apparently you also invited Crystal here?" Irene asked Alison.Alison nodded, smiling, “Yes, of course. Please take a seat, Irene.”Irene sat down next to Crystal in the chair. While Crystal could only laugh awkwardly at her and scowl at Alison."Sorry if I'm late.""It's okay; Crystal hasn't been here long either," he explained.Crystal giggled awkwardly, "A-ah, yes, that's right. I've only been here a short time.""Why wasn't Leo invited?" Irene inquired, her gaze shifting between Alison and Crystal."A-ah, Leo... Of course, Alison invited him to join us. But Leo can't because he is working late tonight." Crystal lied."Let's get some food; you can order whatever you want. I'll take care of it." Alison later explained.Irene smiled broadly, “Wow, really? Why are you suddenly treating us?”"Hey, exactly that's what I wanted you to do here," Alison chuckled.Irene shifted the menu book in front of Crystal, "You order fir
Irene rushed out of her room, heading straight for the parking lot.Aaron, who had just emerged from his room, began to frown as he noticed Irene walking quickly."Why has he been so busy lately?"Aaron began to walk towards the elevator; not long after, Yeri, who had noticed Aaron from a distance, began to jog to catch up with him."Good evening, Manager Lee." When Yeri arrived next to Aaron, she bowed."Oh, hi, Yeri," Aaron said, turning his head after pressing the elevator's down button. "Good afternoon."Not long after the elevator door opened, Yeri smiled. Aaron motioned for Yeri to go first into the elevator.Yeri smiled as she stepped into the elevator, her face beaming.Yeri could only remain silent while trying to think of something to say to Aaron in the elevator that brought them down to the ground floor.Yeri cast a slow glance at Aaron, who stood silently looking ahead."Manager Lee," Yeri said.Aaron turned his head, “Yeah?”"If you don't mind, could I ride with you toda
Noah, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, began to get up and walk toward the kitchen when he became hungry.He took a cup of instant ramen and began boiling water. Not long after, someone opened the door while he waiting for the water to boil."Where have you been?" Noah asked, not looking up.For a brief moment, Irene looked at Noah. "I was just meeting my friend."Noah remained silent as he waited for the water he had cooked to come to a boil. But soon, Noah's brow furrowed as Irene began hugging him from behind.Irene turned Noah's body to face her, then began to kiss Noah's lips gently.Noah's eyes widened, and he pushed Irene's body, saying, "Hey, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm cooking?"Irene began to turn off the stove and then turned her body, grabbing Noah's hand to hug her from behind.Irene, who was standing with her back to Noah, began to move Noah's hand to her breast.“Hey, what are you doing?!”"Touch me, Noah, touch me wherever you want," Irene said, di
Adam turned his head, “Nothing. It's just that this man just ran into me.”Noah bowed his head again, "I'm sorry." Then he walked away while looking for Irene, who had just disappeared from his sight."Hey, we're not done yet!" he exclaimed.The girl held Adam's shoulder, "Never mind, just let him go.""Have you redeemed the medicine?" Adam inquired later."I have." The girl nodded while showing a plastic bag containing some medicine."Let's go home.""Can we get something to drink first?"Adam nodded, "Yes, of course."The girl smiled as she started walking with Adam, "Do you know that man?"Adam shook his head, "No, but I met him yesterday."Meanwhile, Noah kept walking while looking for where Irene's steps had gone."Oh, sh*t. I'd lost her. Where did she go?" Noah said when he couldn't find Irene.Noah's steps are now moving toward the receptionist."Excuse me. Is there a patient named Jung Crystal here?" Noah inquired as he paused in front of the reception desk."Please wait a mom
Jennie came to a halt and looked at the three girls in front of her."Ah, Mr. Won and I are just friends.""Does someone who comes only to give you breakfast deserve to be called a friend?" asked the woman again as the other two stood there silently.Jennie, who was confused, started to nod, "Yes, what's wrong?"The girl snorted and began to bend her body closer to Jennie, who was still sitting.“Mr. Won is mine. Don't ever dare to approach him. You're new here. You don't want to ruin your career when you're just getting started, do you?"Jennie remained silent while slowly nodding before the three girls snorted and walked away from her.Soon after, a girl who had been staring at Jennie from a distance began to rise from her chair and take a seat next to her."Hello, you are Jenny, right?" said the girl after sitting next to Jennie.Jennie nodded, smiling, “Yes, I am."The woman smiled widely, "Wow, you are much prettier than I thought. You know, everyone here is talking about you bec
Aaron, who had just gotten out of his car, began to walk into the restaurant.After successfully entering, from a distance, Aaron saw Yeri waving her hand while sitting at one of the available tables."I apologize for being late." While attempting to sit in front of Yeri, Aaron said.Yeri nodded, smiling, “It's okay, Manager Lee. You're only 5 minutes late.""Ah, please don't call me that when we're outside. Just say my name."“But that sounds impolite, Manager Lee. Can I call you Oppa?Aaron paused before finally nodding slowly, “A-ah, yes, you can.”Yeri smiled cheerfully. She had no idea this would be her first date with Aaron, a man she had admired for a long time.Yeri didn't care if Aaron didn't like her yet. All Yeri has to do now is show Aaron how much she adores him."Oppa, do you want to order now?" asked Yeri later."Oh, yes, please." Aaron nodded while Yeri started trying to call a waiter to come over to their table.The food and drink they had ordered arrived on the table
Suzy smiled and began telling Irene everything she knew about how she could find out if Irene had paid off all of her hospital bills.*Flashback On*A nurse came over to Suzy's room to inject some medicine through the IV that was attached to her right hand."Wow, Miss Choi, you have a grandmother who truly loves you. I get jealous sometimes because my grandmother died three years ago," the nurse said as she began to inject the first medicine.Suzy smiled, “Yes, I'm so lucky to have her. Even in her old age, she still has to be busy taking care of me and thinking of ways to pay off the hospital bills."The nurse put down the first medicine and started opening the second medicine, “You don't need to worry, Miss. All of your hospital bills for the next few months have already been paid in full. Didn't your grandmother tell you?"Suzy frowned, “What? Did I hear it wrong?""Of course not, Miss," the nurse said with a smile as she put some medicine into the container after injecting it into
