Seo Jung Hee: holds breath, then exhales W-why are YOU here? Are you... avoiding me?
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? Then why haven't you reached out to me since that day? It's like you're trying to distance yourself from me.
Because you were marrying that woman you’ve been talking about for years. I didn’t want to be in the way of your happiness.
narrows eyes, voice sharp And you think marrying her would make me happy? You know I've always had feelings for you, not her!
But she was the one you wanted to marry…
voice trembling with anger That's not true! She meant nothing to me! I did it all for you, to prove myself, to show you that I could make something of myself!
grabs MysticalWhale's shoulders, shaking them I'm saying that I did all those things because I wanted your approval, your love!
voice cracking No, you don't understand! I thought if I became successful, if I made something of myself, you would finally see me for who I truly am!
I hug him I’m sorry for not realizing that…
pulls away from the hug, tears streaming down his face No, it's not your fault! I should have been honest with you from the start!
Would you like to come back to my house?
voice trembling Y-yes, I... I would love that. Thank you for understanding, for giving me a chance.
No problem. My offer still stands, you can move in and we can live together. We’d probably be better off financially working together.
wipes away tears, sniffles T-thank you... I... I appreciate your generosity. Yes, maybe living together and working on our projects would be beneficial.
Seo Jung Hee and MysticalWhale return to MysticalWhale's home, where they embark on a journey of rediscovery and rekindled romance, confronting past misunderstandings and building a future filled with love and trust.
Here, let me show you the room I’ve been working on for you.
voice filled with excitement Oh, really? I'd love to see it! Lead the way, please.
So far this is the only room I’ve finished decorating. It has a minimalist theme, but I’ve tried to incorporate some traditional elements as well. I’m still working on other rooms, but you’re welcome to use them for now.
eyes wide with admiration Wow... This room is incredible! I love how you've combined modern design with traditional elements. It's so cozy and inviting.
grinning widely Like it? I love it! It's absolutely perfect! You have such a great eye for design, MysticalWhale.
