Life, Once Again!

Chapter 839. Sequence 11



Chapter 839. Sequence 11

“Are these the ones?”

She checked the list of clothes and got out of the car. A clothing designer who was close to Gaeul-unni opened a new shop and sponsored some clothes. That person said that she would not sponsor anyone with her products, but she ended up sponsoring Gaeul-unni. She arrived back at the set with the clothes. Unni was standing in front of the counter wearing a white doctor’s gown. The neck exposed above the collars was elegant, the line of the clothes draping down her shoulders looked noble, and finally, she even had a touch of cuteness thanks to the slipper with a rabbit on it. Although her clothes were cheap ones that could be bought for 20,000 won at the local market, as Han Gaeul was the one wearing them, they didn’t look cheap at all. She may as well be having a photo shoot right now. Geez, who was the one who styled her? Such a good sense of clothing.

“Unni, your figure is so good.”

“When have I ever not been good?”

“You should try being humble if you get flattered like that. Is this how you’re gonna act since you have a boyfriend?”

“I’m cute even without being humble you know? Also, that has nothing to do with having a boyfriend.”

Unni smiled and checked the clothes that she brought.

“This one looks better, right?”

“I think so too. If you think about the season, the left one is better after all. Alright then, I’ll get this ready.”

“Please. Also, I’ll call the owner and visit myself, so don’t send back the clothes first.”

“You’re going yourself?”

“She looked out for me, so I should at least visit and say hello. I wasn’t able to go when the store opened.”

“Then should I buy something as a gift with Chanwoo-oppa?”

“Can you?”

“I wonder what will be good though. I don’t know her preferences. Should I just go with a small vase?”

“She hates cumbersome things. Also, I’m sure that she has a really clean interior, so I’m pretty sure there’s nowhere to place a vase. She likes drinking and eating, so I think I should buy some dry snacks that can be eaten with wine. You know about the jerky that they sell in the department store nearby, right?”

“I do. Alright, I’ll go with Chanwoo-oppa then. I’ll send you a photo before we buy it, so have a look at it to see if you like it or not.”

“Chanwoo is good at things like that, so ask Chanwoo. Buy two bottles of wine and four boxes of jerky.”

Mijoo nodded before turning around. She had to be quick before the shoot began. She picked up Chanwoo, who was talking to the managers of other actors on the set, before heading to the department store. She gift-packaged some jerky that she would never buy with her own salary and bought some wine with an employee’s recommendation. She kept thinking this while looking at the jerky packaged in a luxurious-looking container: How could dried meat be so expensive? Though, it was still cheaper than the red liquid next to it. She returned to the set with Chanwoo while eating the jerky they gave out as a sample. The fragrance filled her mouth as though it was trying to tell her that there was a reason for the cost.

“Unni, this is really good.”

She showed the jerky and the wine to unni. Unni took out a box of jerky from the shopping bag before waving it in front of her as though she should take it.

“I can eat it?”

“I told you two to buy more so that you two can have it. Take one to Chanwoo as well.”

“You’re such a good girl, unni. I’ll put the rest inside the car.”

When she brought it to Chanwoo, he liked it and said that he got some good snacks to drink over some soju. She put the luggage inside the car and was about to come out when the jerky caught her eyes. She wondered if she should eat just a little right now before opening the package. She put some pieces in her hand and returned to the set.

“What are you eating?”

Giwoo, who was holding a bottle of water, stopped as he walked by. Mijoo quickly picked up a piece of jerky and offered it to Giwoo.

“Mr. Giwoo, I bought this as a gift, and it’s really good.”

Giwoo blinked a little before telling her to raise her hand a little more. When she raised the hand holding the jerky, Giwoo put his mouth forward. Mijoo looked around before putting the jerky in his mouth. She never imagined that she would feed him like this. She felt embarrassed and yet happy.

“It’s good.”

“Right? Expensive things definitely are expensive.”

“But Miss Mijoo.”

“Yes?”

“I wasn’t intentionally trying to hear it, but you seem to call me Giwoo-oppa in front of other people.”

“Uh, the thing is….”

Mijoo smiled awkwardly. Although she got to see Giwoo almost every day ever since they started shooting Doctor’s Office, she had never talked to him in private. At most, she just greeted him as a sidekick of Gaeul-unni when they talked to each other. Although there was a time when they put their arms around each other’s shoulders during a get-together, that couldn’t exactly be called a conversation.

“I subconsciously did that because I wanted to stay close to you…. If you don’t like it, I will never do that again.”

As actors had to meet many people, of which some would be some weird people, there were many who were wary of getting to know others. Such actors despised people who pretended to be close to them. Although she knew about it, Giwoo was such a kind man that she subconsciously called him ‘oppa’ in front of other people, and it seemed to be a mistake after all. Just as she was waiting while being prepared to hear something bitter,

“No, no, that’s not it at all. If I disliked you, I wouldn’t have helped you at all. In fact, I was just thinking that it’s a pity that we haven’t talked to each other even though it’s been quite a while since we got to know each other. Do you remember the get-together last time? We really enjoyed ourselves back then.”

“I do. You really brought up the mood back then, Mr. Giwoo.”

“That’s thanks to your responses, Miss Mijoo. About that, I’d like to stop calling you ‘miss’ and call you comfortably. Is that okay with you?”

Before she could even think about answering, her head was nodding by itself. How many people would refuse an offer from Kang Giwoo? Mijoo spoke after being inwardly relieved,

“Then I’ll call you Giwo-oppa from now.”

“And I’ll call you Mijoo.”

“I really do click with you.”

“Me too. I should have done this a long time ago. I was originally going to call you and Mr. Chanwoo back when I tried to eat with Gaeul. We would’ve become close a lot earlier if we met back then. But Gaeul seemed to be busy, so our appointment kept getting delayed.”

“Unni was a little busy for a while. The drama was one thing, but she also got a sudden flood of photo shoots and adverts.”

“Popular actresses never get to rest huh.”

“But that goes for you too.”

He looked so much more handsome from up close. Mijoo stared at Giwoo’s face for a while before recalling what just happened.

“Uhm, Oppa, thanks for covering me earlier. I should have thanked you properly but the shoot began.”

“That was nothing. Like I said before, things went well so that noona will probably not nitpick with you. She might be a little stiff, but she’s not that bad, so be a little understanding.”

It was because he was Kang Giwoo, that the frosty woman obediently took a step back. If it was anyone else, that person would have become a sacrificial lamb for Miyoon alongside her. Mijoo wasn’t stupid enough to tell the bad things about that stylist and Miyoon to Giwoo, who was smiling gently, so she just stayed quiet. Miyoon and her stylist were probably very kind people to Giwoo. Just like how unni who would act like an amazoness was endlessly kind to her.

“Since we’re talking about it, why don’t we have some stew after the shoot tonight? With you, Gaeul and Mr. Chanwoo.”

“I’d love to go. I really do, but Gaeul-unni has a prior appointment.”

“Does she have work right after the shoot?”

“It’s not work. She says a designer she knows opened a shop, so she’s making a visit.”

“Is it Lacquemant by any chance?”

“Yes, do you know about it too?”

“I just went there two days ago.”

“I see.”

“If you’re just visiting to say hello, it won’t take that long.”

“That’s true, but she has a personal appointment after that. I don’t think she can make it today. She said she’s going to drink with Maru-oppa.”

While ruminating about the schedule, she ended up talking about private matters as well. It was probably due to the fact that she lost her tension. She suddenly felt complex. Should she explain who Maru is? Or just play dumb and make excuses? She thought that telling Giwoo of all people a secret shouldn’t be a problem. As though to tell her that there was no need for her to think about such things, Giwoo spoke first,

“Maru? Do you mean Han Maru?”

“You know him too, oppa?”

“I do. We even worked together once. Just a while ago, the three of us, including Gaeul, had a drink together too. I’m a long-time friend of his.”

Her dizzy head suddenly became refreshed in an instant. If he knew him, and if they were long-time friends, there was no need to hide anything.

“So you three already knew each other. And here, I was thinking about how to explain it. Unni decided to meet Maru-oppa in the evening. So she won’t have the time.”

“I guess I can’t help it if she has a prior engagement. But that’s a little disappointing; they’re just drinking by themselves.”

Mijoo faintly smiled and spoke,

“What can we do? The couple wants to drink together. Even if you’re friends, you shouldn’t join an occasion like that.”

It wasn’t that long ago that she met Maru. Unni introduced him to her saying that there was someone who wanted to thank her. She was startled out of her wits when she heard that they were dating. She grabbed unni’s sleeves and asked if it was really true multiple times. She heard about a lot of things while drinking that day. It was also the day she got to know just how much faith unni placed in her. Unni, who was smiling while quietly looking at Maru, looked happier than anyone else in the world.

“Yeah, the couple wants to be together, so joining them is a terrible idea,” Giwoo said with a strangely joyful expression on his face.

Did something funny come to his mind? He even coughed awkwardly while covering his mouth before waving his hand in the air.

“Alright, then let’s leave the drinking to next time.”

“I’ll look forward to it. You’re treating us to something expensive, right?”

“Of course, I heard something interesting, so I can buy you anything.”

“Something interesting?”

Giwoo smiled once again. Something felt off, but seeing Giwoo smiling brightly like that made her pleased.

“Mijoo, can I ask you one thing?”

“What is it?”

“The conversation we had now, just keep it a secret from Gaeul. I don’t really care, but Gaeul might be sad if she finds out that you blurted out something private. No matter how close you are, you should keep what you should to yourself, right? I won’t tell Gaeul anything either.”

Giwoo turned around, saying ‘see you later.’ A kind-hearted man thought in a different way. He even solved what she was inwardly worried about.

“Oppa, I like sashimi.”

“Alright.”

Giwoo raised his thumb as though she could look forward to it.
