IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

“Is that you, Su-Jin?”

“Oh, look at that, at least you didn’t forget my voice!”

Kim Donghu couldn’t wrap his head around Kim Sujin’s voice that followed.

“How could she get in touch?” he thought, just as the query was about to bother him.

Kim Sujin answered with her next words.

“What do you think exchanging business cards is for?”

To be honest, Kim Donghu felt a bit wronged.

No matter how you slice it, their bond was from when they were five years old.

Keeping in touch just because they were kindergarten buddies? That was absurd.

Moreover, for an ordinary person to contact a top star made it even crazier.

If the top star reached out first, that would be one thing.

But sending a “What’s up?” out of the blue? Not happening.

Plus, the business card exchange was done by their moms.

The notion of ordinary moms and top star moms exchanging cards and keeping in touch?

That was a stretch.

But that was exactly what Kim Sujin’s mom, Kim Yu-ryun, did.

Not often, but once or twice a year,

Kim Yu-ryun regularly kept in touch with Kim Donghu’s mom, Lee Yoo-hyun.

There were two reasons for that.

– Ultimately, it turns out Kim Donghu is the best-looking guy!

One was that her daughter’s childhood crush was still ongoing.

The other was the brief glimpse of radiant talent she had witnessed.

She could see that kid was destined to live with the camera.

Born for acting, truly someone designed to be an actor.

There’s no way they’d let go of a connection like that.

But that didn’t mean she played a role in fostering communication between the kids.

“They’ll figure it out on their own.”

And so about ten years passed.

During that time, Kim Yu-ryun and Lee Yoo-hyun became quite close, to the point of sharing some personal stories.

That day was no different.

It was the day for their quarterly catch-up call.

The moms were chatting away about their kids.

Suddenly, Lee Yoo-hyun brought up a new topic.

“By the way, our son created an account on Face-Whatchamacallit? Face-Tomb? Whatever, you know that thing.”

“Oh my, really?”

At that moment, a variable occurred.

Kim Yu-ryun switched her phone to speaker mode for a casual chat.

Just then, Kim Sujin walked into the living room and overheard the conversation.

The sense of betrayal Kim Sujin felt was beyond imagination.

No matter how forced it seemed,

her mom had been hiding the fact that she kept bringing up Kim Donghu!
