Chapter 34.2
Absolute Advantage
âI waited in line for 20 minutes. She looks just like me, but sheâs completely selfish.â
Bora shook her head. Haewon had a big smile on her face as she knew what Parang must have been like.
âAnyway, I ended up talking to the actor by myselfâ¦â¦. At that time, I was very comforted.â
Boraâs cheeks flushed when she recalled the short memory of the day.
âWhat conversation did you have?â
âHehe, itâs a secret because Iâm shy!â
Bora twisted her body. She looked like a girl in her first love.
âWhat? Iâm more curious about Bora.â
Haewon became genuinely curious.
âSure~. If you tell me what you did with your fiancé over the weekend, Iâll tell you.â
Hae-won was surprised by the unexpected counterattack.
âOh, I, weâ¦â¦.â
Bora looked at Haewon with an insidious expression. Hae-won rolled her eyes from side to side to avoid the persistent gaze.
Buzz.
Then the cell phone vibrated.
Hae-won took her cell phone out of his pocket and checked the screen. There was a text message from Ellie.
âYour fiance?â
Hae-won smiled awkwardly as Bora whispered secretly.
âItâs a text from my sister.â
âOh, yeahâ¦â¦?â
The atmosphere quickly became chilly as if it had poured cold water on Hae-wonâs words.
âIâm sorry, Bora. I think I should go in.â
âOh, no. I was holding onto it too much.â
Bora shook her head.
âWell, miss.â
âWhat?â
As Hae-won turned her back, Bora called her up.
âYou must tell me about it next time.â
Bora clenched her fist to evoke the heavy atmosphere. Hae-won was forced just to smile and nod.

Adam was still the house of Haewon.
He was lying on the sofa with her pillow in his arms. After he made Haewon breakfast and sent her off to the parking lot, the remaining time felt too long when he returned.
Ding dong-.
Someone rang the doorbell outside.
Adam ignored the ringtone.
Ding dong-.
Beep beep. Beep beep beep.
As Adam continued to ignore it, an unidentified visitor pressed the password and came inside.
âYou can at least open the door.â
It was Li Yu-yen.
His hands were full of groceries. Li Yu-yen put the shopping basket on the counter.
âI told you the password.â
âAnd why are you telling me that? This isnât your houseâ¦â¦.â
Li Yu-yen kicked his tongue and began to take things out of the shopping basket. Fruits, fresh food ingredients, and daily necessities such as kitchen towels were piled up on the counter one by one.
âAnd do I have to do these little errands myself? Use express delivery.â
âI donât know how to use it.â
Thatâs funny.
Adamâs sudden text message yesterday contained a string of food ingredients. Heâs going to make side dishes. Thatâs also in Seo Hae-wonâs house, and he thought he was crazy.
And Adam, who occupied his fianceeâs house like his own in a day, hung down on the sofa like a jobless man. Because of his tall height, he seemed to be a model who posed just by lying down, making him even more annoyed.
âItâs good to stand up and do something useful in the morning.â
âIâve done it. To Haewon.â
Adam put his nose in her pillow and inhaled the smell. Li Yu-yen, who was staring blankly at the scene, belatedly realized what he meant and made a yuck sound.
âTheyâre all domestic ingredients, right?
Adam jumped up and asked.
âIf you canât trust me, buy it yourself.â
âHey, youâre better at grocery shopping than I am. Didnât you have a good eye for things from a long time ago?â
Li Yuyanâs lips twitched at Adamâs praise. Then, he quickly smiled. If he lets his guard down like this, heâll take care of the ingredients.
âAh, itâs time to watch the drama that I like~. I must not miss it.â
Adam looked at the clock and picked up the remote control.
âItâs a rerun. Thatâs an evening drama.â
âThen why do I see it at this hour every day?â
âAll terrestrial morning dramas have been abolished, and thatâs why they purposely air it again at this time. So itâs like watching a morning drama.â
âWhy was it abolished?â
Adam asked half-heartedly.
âThere are many reasons, but the biggest thing is money.â
This time, Adam nodded half-heartedly, and Li Yu-yen suddenly slammed the counter. Adam opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Yuyen.
âAre you crazy?â
âNo! Iâm angry.â
ââ¦â¦?â
âWhen I came to Korea, I thought that I would finally be able to watch the live broadcast, but here again, itâs all rebroadcasting or streaming⦠This is no different from when I was abroad, and all the dramas I liked are aired daily!â
Adam rolled his eyes and added indifferently, yes. However, Li Yu-yen still seemed to have a lot to say.
âRegardless, the morning drama is interesting. The actorsâ acting is excellent, and sometimes they go too far because of product advertising. Thatâs funny. Oh, there is a famous scene of a slap on the cheek with cabbage.â
âOkay, Iâll play it now. Itâs this one, isnât it? Wow, itâs on.â
Adam turned the channel and cut off Li Yu-yen.
