In the end, she still obeyed him obediently and went to bed right after she hung up on the call.
As she lay down on the bed in the empty bedroom, she stared at the ceiling. She could feel a part of herself missing as she reached her hand out to the spot beside her. The usual figure was not there for her to touch and she could not feel his warmth.
This feeling...
It was difficult for her to get used to. The quality of her sleep was terrible during this period of time. She slept lightly, and even though she slept quite long, she would wake up many times in the middle of the night.
She was too used to being around him. With him here, she was not worried at all. He always prepared her outfit in the morning or even help her to change into it, and she found it difficult now that he left. Her old independent self was gone.
She sighed. How could she have become like this?
...
t was getting late when she left the restaurant after dinner. Solar swiftly walked down the staircase, but she suddenly remembered the letter and halted mid-step. Swiftly, she turned around and glared at Moonbyul with her steely eyes. "You can hand me back the letter now, Officer Lee! I'm very busy and don't have much time for you. Don't forget about tonight. You said that you owe me one!"
Moonbyul put his hands into his pockets as he raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman staring at him. "Doesn't treating you to a meal tonight cancel that out? Moreover, do you think a careful person like me would just carry the letter everywhere with me? Come to my place next weekend to take it. I'm going abroad tomorrow and won't be in City Z for the next few days."
Solar's expression darkened instantly. Her patience ran out as she clenched her fists and stared at Moonbyul furiously. "Moonbyul! You're just messing with me. Are you really this pitiful to stoop down to bully a woman? Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Bully a woman? Embarrassed? Why didn't you think of yourself as a woman when you assaulted me? I'm very satisfied with the outcome today, so I'll give you back the letter. Tell me when you're available and we'll meet."
Moonbyul glanced over at her before walking down the stairs. He waved his hand at the valet. The little guy quickly drove his car over for him.
His car arrived moments later, and he walked past Solar.
"You really didn't change much from back then. No man would like you like this. No wonder back then..."
"Shut up! It's none of your business! Don't always act like you know everything!" Solar's expression worsened. There was no doubt that Moonbyul had stepped on her old wound.
Moonbyul shrugged without giving her a second look and went straight into his car. As he was about to leave, the door to the front passenger seat opened suddenly as Solar entered and slammed the door.
"Send me back to get my car," Solar said unhappily. There no way would she take a cab back!
He took her there, so he had to send her back!
Moonbyul squinted at her, but he did not decline as he swiftly started his car.
"Why didn't you apply to be a military officer afterward? I remember that you were qualified, and I even heard that you have the full rights to pass instantly. You've gathered a lot of achievements, haven't you?"
He felt the surrounding air suffocating him as they were on the way back, so he tried to start a conversation.
Moonbyul found out from Ryujin that she was working as Jennie's bodyguard.
Solar seemed to be lost in her thoughts after she heard Moonbyul's question. Her eyes darkened as she turned her head and looked outside the window. She stayed quiet for a long while as lights flashed past her face.
Moonbyul did not say anything else and just sped up as she remained silent.
After some time, Solar finally spoke up, "I was worried that he'd be waiting for too long. I wanted to save the relationship. That's why I gave up."
Moonbyul did not expect to hear her answer. He thought she was not going to answer him at all.
He shook his head and sighed. "Now, do you know why this occupation doesn't earn the understanding of others? How could a man who needs you to compromise be a good man? Just take it as a lesson."
"Yes, all men are trash! Their mouths are full of lies."
Solar laughed coldly and sucked a deep breath in. "But I can only blame myself for being foolish. I was too naive to believe in him so easily."
Moonbyul smiled. "That's some good insight for you, but that man looks like trash anyway. I don't understand how your eyes work. What attracts you to that man? His looks? Power? Money? And what do you mean by all men are trash? Isn't Instructor Manoban a good man? Most of the men around me are great. You just haven't met them, so be more impartial."
Moonbyul could not help but defend his brethren.
Solar was stunned for a moment when he mentioned Lisa. She was reminded of how caring he was towards Jennie and had to admit that Chairman Manoban was indeed a good man and a good husband. She always thought he was an aloof man during her days in camp and she could not understand why a man like him would join the army! However, a person of his calibre was very charismatic with his quiet personality, especially when he wore his uniform.
Nonetheless, Solar still thought Lisa's current identity suited him better. Perhaps she thought being in the business world could further utilize his wisdom and charisma.
"I'm afraid there aren't many men like Chairman Manoban in the world. He's a special sample with extraordinary genes," Solar replied.
"That's some harsh bias there. I'm representing the whole male population to protest against you. Solar, your mindset is very dangerous!" Moonbyul frowned.
Solar raised her eyebrows, shooting daggers at Moonbyul sullenly as he questioned her opinion.
