Joong Ki responded the interviewer’s words with laughter
and answered it with his trademark smile.

“There are few scripts that were submitted to me, but I
still need some more time to pick it out because all of
them are very interesting and also challenging for me to
play. But sadly, I could only choose one and that what’s
giving me a hard time.”

“I don’t know that Song Joong Ki is the one they’re interviewing.”
Hyo Joo said to Chae Won who’s beside her as they watched
Joong Ki with folded hands.

“Do you think I know?” Chae Won replied with a sarcastic
tone. “had I knew, I wouldn’t let them shooting the program
here.” She added—ignoring Hyo Joo’s surprised looks hearing
her answer.

She can’t help but notice Joong Ki’s eyes stole glimpses at
her in between questions, but every time he did, she would
turn her head—avoided his eyes.

After she ended up things with him, Chae Won thought that
she will never see Joong Ki again—at least not in front of
her eyes—and she liked to keep it that way. She’s afraid
he’ll make her heart weak because she hasn’t succeeded to
erase him completely from her heart. But looking to those
fans waiting him outside, she still thinks it’s the best
for both of them to let go and move on.

“Whatever. They’ll leave soon after the interview is done
anyway.” she spoke, pretended as if she’s not interested to
watch it any much longer. She left Hyo Joo side and walked
towards an empty table to clean it up.

Hyo Joo stares at her chingu as she passed her with
disbelief of how she reacted. She could just assume that
Chae Won acted like that to hide her feelings.

“…hahaha. With face, brain and talents like yours, I think
you already have it all, Joong Ki-sshi. Ye… So, what are
the next things that you want to do this year?” Chae Won
could hear the interviewer asking him question again from
behind her back.

“Well, I still have to serve my time in military, but maybe
not anytime soon. What I really want to do right now is
maybe… dating.”

“Dating?”

“Well… actually, I was kind of thinking about marriage.”

Chae Won felt her heart skip a beat. She could feel her
heart is aching—hearing his words. But then she shook her
head and continued to clean up the mug and plate that was
left on the table and pretended like she didn’t hear
anything.

“Marriage? Wow!”

“Ye. As I getting older, I easily feel lonely when I came
to an empty house these days.” Joong Ki laughed shyly,
embarrassed with his own answer.

“Well, having our own family is indeed everyone’s dream…
I want to get married too, actually. But sadly I haven’t
found the woman who wants to marry me. Hahaha. How about
you? Did you already found the lucky woman, Joong Ki-sshi?”

Joong Ki took a slight glimpse at Chae Won’s back before he
let out a mysterious smile to the interviewer.

“I don’t know, maybe or maybe not. Right now I’m not dating
anyone, though. But who knows, maybe I will marry someone
without dating her first.” He gave them an ambiguous answer
and covered it with laugh again.

“Yaah… I think every girl will have their heart broken if they
know you decided to get married someday.” The interviewer
commented.

Joong Ki bowed to each one of the crews after they wrapped
up the interview before his eyes caught Hyo Joo.

She stared at him with a meaningful look but not saying a
single word when they bowed to each other. She knew there
are so many people there with them so she couldn’t act as
if she knew him well. He just said that he was thinking
about marriage so she won’t take a risk for people to think
that she was the girl he talked about—moreover with his
fans still clinging on the café’s window.

He then tried to look for Chae Won but she was nowhere to
be found. Could only sigh, he left the place with his manager.

Later that night, Chae Won sat alone on the corner table in
her café, gazing out the window. She’s thinking about Il Woo
again, how he said that he likes her and he wants to be her
reason to smile.

Although Chae Won loves him too, she had to admit that it’s
a different kind of love. Not even once she ever saw him as
a man. And maybe that would never change, considering that
she still has feelings for someone else.

“… ner. Moon owner!!”
