“Heeyoung.”
Suhwan’s heart swelled at her sincere words. He nodded, looking at Heeyoung.
“I’m happy now.”
Heeyoung also smiled as she watched Suhwan laughing with a bright face. For now, just seeing Suhwan smile like this was enough.
Ding, ding-ding…
“Ah, excuse me for a moment.”
“Sure.”
Just then, the phone on the table rang. Suhwan quickly picked it up and answered.
“Yes, Seunghyun. I’m at a cafe now.”
Heeyoung stared at him intently. Suhwan’s face was truly bright without a trace of worry. His appearance while talking to his lover seemed to be literally sparkling.
“No, there’s no need. I’ll come by myself.”
Heeyoung, sitting across from him, couldn’t hear the voice on the other end. But she could guess what was said. And from whatever else he heard, Suhwan’s face suddenly turned bright red.
“Yes, I miss you too.”
“…”
“Okay. I’ll come quickly.”
After answering shyly, Suhwan hung up. He made an awkward expression when his eyes met Heeyoung’s, who was staring at him.
“Come quickly?”
“Yeah, he told me to only meet with you for 30 minutes.”
“30 minutes…”
Is this really okay? Heeyoung was worried about Suhwan again. As Heeyoung’s expression darkened, Suhwan hurriedly spoke.
“But he removed all the CCTVs at home, and he said he won’t track my location anymore.”
Suhwan now knew everything Seunghyun had done. Initially, it was to protect himself from the foreign entity that was Jin Suhwan, but as he became obsessed with him, Seunghyun seemed unable to control himself. After imprinting with Suhwan and becoming stable, Seunghyun had repented and removed all CCTVs and apps. The bracelet’s location tracker had also been removed.
“Sigh… I’m still worried though.”
“I’m telling you, it’s fine.”
Suhwan waved his hands at Heeyoung, who continued to doubt Seunghyun. Although it seemed difficult for Seunghyun to resist the occasional impulses, Suhwan trusted him. And he also believed in his own ability to love Seunghyun no matter what. He would find a way to be happy with Seunghyun. Because that was the natural thing to do.
“Does Seunghyun… remember things from the other world?”
“Hmm. About that…”
At Heeyoung’s question, Suhwan fell into thought for a moment.
After imprinting with Seunghyun, Suhwan had carefully asked him if he remembered anything from that time. But Seunghyun didn’t remember anything at all. He didn’t seem to be pretending not to remember either. Having imprinted with Seunghyun, Suhwan could tell even if he was skilled at lying.
“He doesn’t seem to remember right now.”
“…Will that be okay?”
Perhaps Seunghyun would remember someday, but not now. If he ever recalled and became confused, Suhwan would always be by his side. So he didn’t feel anxious about it.
“Yes, it’ll be fine.”
“…”
Heeyoung stared at the brightly smiling Suhwan for a while. Smiling without a shadow, Suhwan truly looked happy. Seeing that face, she couldn’t say anything more.
“Sigh. Fine, okay…”
Heeyoung, who was exhaling, paused and stared at the person who had opened the cafe door and entered. From the moment he entered the cafe, he walked straight toward them as if he could only see one person.
Suhwan, puzzled by Heeyoung’s hesitation, turned around. To Heeyoung, this scene appeared quite slow. In the end, watching the two people smiling brightly at each other, Heeyoung shrugged as if there was nothing she could do.
It was a perfect happy ending.
