The phrase stuck in Baek Ihyeon's mind, a vulgar expression Yoo Ahjin had carelessly thrown out. Normally, he would have left the table in disgust, showing clear displeasure. But now…

It felt like he’d been struck on the back of the head.

He couldn’t deny the unsettling thought creeping into his mind.

Yes, when feelings between a man and a woman develop, it’s natural for them to become intimate. Yet, imagining Suin entwined with another man, both bare and vulnerable, made his chest ache.

And if that man was Seo Jaehee…

"Oppa, you’re a grown man, aren’t you?" Ahjin said, her words laced with mockery.

Pathetic.

Even Ihyeon knew he wasn’t yearning for just platonic love.

"Are you going to let her slip away in front of your eyes?"

“…”

"Are you going to congratulate them, then?"

Her words were sharp and taunting, but Ihyeon didn’t argue back.

He tried to wash away the bitterness in his chest with the dark beer, but the alcohol only fanned the flames of frustration. His insides churned, his emotions boiling over.

"Oppa, don’t you think it’s a waste? All that time you’ve spent loving her?"

It was.

More than his long one-sided love being wasted, it was Lee Suin herself that he didn’t want to see wasted.

Even if the two were together now, could they truly have a happy ending?@@novelbin@@

Seo Jaehee wasn’t an ordinary person.
