Days passed, years changed. Winter has now covered the ginseng country. Snow began to fill every corner of the city, covering the streets and rooftops.
It's been a month since she returned home, Ji-eun hasn't decided to go back to work. Although the news about her had begun to dim, but the girl really had not thought of greeting her fans again.
There were actually many offers to play roles in various films from several agencies, as well as offers to collaborate on making songs, but the girl chose not to accept them. I don't know, he really doesn't want to show himself again on television.
Jong-hoon as the manager of the younger brother could not force at all. All the decisions are in Ji-eun's hands. It seemed like they would indeed have to be ordinary people for quite some time.
Ji-eun comes out of her room, the girl is wearing black long pants and long clothes in matching colors. Also a coat that has fur on the neck and hoodie so that he does not get cold. Judging from her clothes it seemed like the girl was indeed going to leave the house.
"Where are you going?" Ask Jong-hoon. The man was enjoying hot chocolate in the living room.
"I want to buy something, you want to leave?"
"Eum... No."
"I borrowed your car." Ji-eun said snatching the keys of the car lying on the table.
If you can choose, Ji-eun is better off relaxing and sleeping long in her room. The cold air during the day makes it too lazy to move. Want to go also do not want because the snow is everywhere and will certainly hamper its journey.
But for this one, he had to leave the house. Inevitably he had to go somewhere to buy something that he could make a clue to.
Actually during these few days, Ji-eun feels her body is a little troubled. He always felt unfit and his face looked pale. But when he checked his body temperature, everything was normal.
Ji-eun thinks that this might be the effect of staying home during the winter. Ji-eun never relaxes all this time at home, her time is up for work and work every day. But enough rest and taking vitamins alone does not seem to be enough because things do not change.
Until the moment the girl opened the closet after bathing, she saw the stock of pads for a few days that were still intact. The girl recalled the last time she came by the moon so that her stock still had not diminished. And Ji-eun knows exactly when it was bought when she returned home one month ago.
That means this month he has not yet had any guests. Ji-eun doesn't want to think negative thoughts that will make her nervous. There must be something that makes the lunar cycle problematic. But the more positive he thought, the more hesitant his heart was.
Until Ji-eun gives up and chooses to make sure. The girl went to the pharmacy not far from her home. The streets look quieter than usual because the cold weather certainly makes people lazy to do activities outside.
Ji-eun has arrived at the dispensary that looks lonely, the girl heads to the cashier's place to buy some pregnancy-detection devices. From cheap to expensive to be more accurate. Previously he had worn a hat and black mask to avoid being recognized by people. You can imagine if later anyone saw him buy a testpack at the pharmacy.
After buying the device, Ji-eun hurriedly returns home as the cold air makes her body intolerable. Also worried if anyone realizes his whereabouts here. The public parking lot where he parked his car was a little far away so he had to walk.
Whether in a hurry or reckless manner, Ji-eun accidentally bumps into someone until her shopping bag falls. The girl was surprised for a moment. It's kind of like Dejavu where he first met with Yoongi.
"You okay?" Said the man who had just been hit.
"Ah, I'm sorry--" Ji-eun stopped talking while feeling familiar with the figure in front of her. His eyes squinted as if confirming his vision. "Lee?"
The man in front of him only frowned. Does this woman recognize him? Yes, although there will be no one who does not recognize him on this earth. But if this girl who recognized him was a fan of hers would definitely be excited.
Realizing the confusion from the man's face, Ji-eun takes off her mask and hat. Instantly a smile expands from the lips of the man when he also recognizes the figure in front of him.
"Ji-eun? Is this really you?" The man was no less surprised.
"of course. You think I have a twin."
"Geez, what was my dream last night."
Ji-eun rolls her eyeballs lazily, but the girl keeps smiling. The excessive attitude that is always present in this old friend never goes away. Meeting him is like meeting someone important.
The girl also did not expect to meet her old friend here.
"You alone? What are you doing here?" Ask Ji-eun.
"Ah, I have a little business here. And I'm with the staff from the agency, they're at the inn." Lee Jong Suk replied.
Ji-eun only nods a few times then tucks up her coat as her body feels more and more cold. Unusually she will lose to the cold wind, Ji-eun even likes to play snow when the season has come.
"You want to go home? Would you like to have lunch with me around here?" Take Lee.
"I want to, but maybe next time. I can tell you later." Refuse Ji-eun smooth. Not that he did not want to, he was very happy to meet his old friend but the condition of his body did not want to be invited to work together. Ji-eun doesn't want to make Jong Suk worried or suspicious.
"You're not on a diet, are you?" Jong Suk squinted his eyes.
"No."
"I think so, because you look increasingly --" Jong Suk paused his words. And that makes Ji-eun very curious. Why his body? Is something wrong? The girl looked at her friend with a questioning look. "Filled." Slowly connect.
Ji-eun almost hits Jong Suk when she hears the man's next sentence. While the man laughs at Ji-eun's dead red face that feels annoyed at being said to contain. Even the girl touched both of her cheeks as if she could not believe what the man was saying.
But really, the girl looks more contained than the last they met. I don't know, as an old friend of course the young man surnamed Lee knows that Ji-eun is very strict in maintaining her diet. Even if the girl eats carelessly, the change will not be fast or it can be said that Ji-eun is hard fat.
Then it will look strange and surprising if this friend suddenly gained weight.
