Yi-Seo

Once I get home, I turn on the lights and head inside to find the voice message alert light on the security device blinking. Wondering if it could be Taehyung or Mi-Yang eonnie, I narrow my options down to Taehyung because Mi-Yang eonnie could have called my phone. I, then, press the play button to listen to the message.

‘Hi, Miss Kwon. This is Taehyung. I came by to return your bowl, but you aren’t at home. Please meet me when you’re back’ his deep and husky voice is the only sound that’s resonating inside my home, and it makes my skin bristle.

I’m desperate to meet him with all the new revelations too, and I also want to have dinner together with him because eating together and sharing meals has almost become a habit. And even though we met for lunch yesterday, it still feels like forever since we had a proper, sober meal together.

While picking out a fresh set of clothes, I suddenly decide to read up about Kim So-Dam, the new character who I learned about today; the woman who had triggered the need for serious romance in Taehyung’s playboy life. I’m definitely curious to find out what was so special about her that made him want to consider dating.

Sitting down at the edge of the bed, I type in her name and open up the images first. She looks straight out of a magazine’s cover page, perfect in every way. I mean, she wasn’t obviously crowned Miss South Korea for no reason. It isn’t at all surprising that Taehyung felt attracted to her and wanted to be with her because her looks are so magnetic, and she is everything that I can’t even reach in my dreams.

Her photos succeed in making me feel super ugly, and I have no idea why I’m comparing myself with her and even feeling a twinge of jealousy that seems to be simmering somewhere deep within my chest. But everything dissipates in a fleeting second when I read up about her on the main Naver page, only to discover that she had died in a tragic accident seven years ago while bungee jumping in Finland.

I know that I can never be So-Dam to Taehyung, but nevertheless, an evil smirk forms on my lips when my confidence reunites with me after a short-lived breakup, and I feel a wave of physical relief washing over me when I read this news.

At this point, Taehyung would be totally creeped out if he ever came across my browsing history because he is everything that I’ve been searching for ever since I met him.

Somehow the facts that I just read up make me feel recharged all of a sudden. Not wanting to waste another moment, I rush to take a quick shower and change my clothes before I could cook something for us and head outside to meet Taehyung before he gets drunk once again. In a corner of my mind, I’m also hoping he should be sober and bring up topics similar to what he talked about this morning, and the very thought of it is making me blush like a fool.
