As it gets late, the twilight gets thicker.

The increasingly intense red glow of dusk shines through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the two people sitting by the window in the coffee shop.

No one notices them, and even if their eyes stop for a moment because of the mask on their faces, they quickly lose interest and move elsewhere.

No one would have thought that under the mask, there would be two faces that are now household names in the whole of South Korea.

No one would have thought that at this moment, the two of them were sitting together and talking about what kind of content.

"You and she met at the end of last year, right?"

"The conversation between me and her about you started around that time. ”

Unlike women, men often perfectly interpret the truth of "same-sex repulsion" in terms of communication.

It would have been an embarrassing thing for two men who didn't know each other to sit together, and it would be even more embarrassing if these two men were still entangled because of a woman.

Han Yu feels this way now.

Two men who were supposed to be rivals suddenly talked about a topic related to one of them, and such a development was simply weird.

"Can you believe it?"

Zheng Zhixun didn't seem to be aware of this, he lowered his head, and there was a bitter smile on his mouth under the mask that anyone could see through at a glance, muttering to himself:

"From the first time she mentioned you in front of me...... I knew you were going to be a great rival to me. ”

"I don't know if you've ever had such an experience, but men's intuition is actually no worse than women's, sometimes...... You may just see one look at her and suddenly understand something. ”

"That's what I do to her. ”

"Although the first time she mentioned you to me, she only said that you were a new friend of hers, but at that time, when I saw the look on her face when she mentioned you, I knew, and knew without reason...... She should like you. ”

Hearing this silently, while feeling indescribable, Han Yu suddenly noticed a small detail that he hadn't discovered before.

In Jung Ji-hoon's mouth, he never said Kim Tae-hee's name, was this unintentional, or was ......it intentional? Can't bear to say?

"You must wonder why I'm still sitting here and talking to you so calmly, right?"

Without waiting for Han Yu to think about this question, Zheng Zhixun raised his face and suddenly looked at him.

That's where the benefits of a mask come in.

When you can't see your face, you will concentrate more and observe the remaining parts that can be observed.

Looking at Zheng Ji-hoon, Han Yu noticed that in the eyes he looked at him, there was not too much anger, but instead it was filled with an indescribable complex emotion.

It seems to be scrutinizing, and it seems to be ...... Envy?

"She's a very straightforward woman, and to put it simply, she can't hide the guilt in her heart. ”

"After the media exposed the scandal between the two of you, after a while, one day, she suddenly found me and said to me, she likes you, but you don't like her. ”

"Do you know what my first reaction was?"

"My first instinct was to find you and beat you up. ”

"Not because she likes you, but because ...... You don't like her. ”

"Weird, right?"

"But it probably wouldn't be surprising if you knew the actual relationship between me and her. ”

"Between me and her, in fact...... It's more like a friend, the kind of friend who talks about everything. ”

"Between me and her, as between her and you. I like her, but she doesn't like me. Or rather...... It's not that she doesn't like me, she just doesn't love me. And that's what I knew from the beginning. ”

"From the time I was dating her, I knew that the feelings she had for me were not the kind of love between men and women. ”

"She will confess to me that she likes you because I have at least a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with her, and she doesn't feel that she betrayed me, but that her affair with you has put me in an embarrassing situation as a 'friend', and she feels sorry, so she will confess it to me. ”

"Angry? Of course I'm angry, there shouldn't be any man who doesn't get angry when he encounters this kind of thing, and at first, I really had the urge to find you and tear your face on the spot. ”

"But...... I later gave up, for reasons other than her. ”

"I looked at her and thought, what if I had a fight with the two of you...... She'll probably help you, right?"

So, I gave up. ”

"Because I don't want to make my appearance look sadder. ”

"As for what happened after that, it was even more ridiculous. ”

"She and I don't see each other often, but we talk to you a lot when we do. ”

"Basically, she says and I listen. ”

"I know she thinks of me as a person to talk about stress. But she didn't blindly tell me how good you are, and she almost never told me that she liked you. ”

"She's just...... In many of the topics I talk to, I often think of you inadvertently, and then I mention two sentences and don't go any further. ”

"Miraculously, I got along with her like this, and as the days passed, the anger in my heart towards you slowly subsided. ”

"It may be that I realized that she likes you right, but you don't like her, and you won't intervene in my life and her life after all. ”

"So I don't think there's anything to talk about between me and you, and I don't have any opinion to say about inviting her. I also agree with your words, when it comes to work, she can only decide whether to agree or not, since it's just a performance, we are all artists, and we can understand each other. ”

"Unless one day...... You really got involved between me and her. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhixun paused for no reason, he was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered as if adding:

"To be honest, I originally thought that you would ask me out today...... It was on her behalf that she proposed to me to break up. ”

As soon as he heard this, Han Yu, who was sitting opposite and had been listening quietly, finally couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not so cheeky yet." ”

"I don't know about you. ”

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhixun immediately replied, he met Han Yu's gaze, his emotions couldn't tell whether he was angry or sad, and said bluntly: "My understanding of you all comes from her...... In her eyes, you are the best man in the world. I'll tell you the truth, I can't get used to her sinking look, so I don't believe every word that comes out of her mouth about you. ”

Han Yu seemed stunned for a moment.

After a long while, he nodded and said, "...... I can understand. ”

"But there's one thing I don't understand. ”

Immediately after, Han Yu thought of something again, pursed his lips, raised his head, looked at Zheng Ji-hoon with a puzzled gaze, and asked, "About Tae-hee...... Even if your relationship can't be said to be love, but nominally, she is your girlfriend after all, don't you really hate her?"

Zheng Zhixun glanced at him and replied: "Everyone is flowery, a person will like many people in his life, but he will only love one person." Your presence seemed to me just an accident, and as long as she didn't really leave me, I would continue to try to make myself the only one she loved. ”

Han Yu was stunned again when he heard this, and he felt something in his heart.

He has long seen the humble appearance of people in love.

Yuna, Xiujing...... But he was never on the compromising side.

And today, he saw the humble side of a man in love from Zheng Zhixun.

This side shocked him inside.

Isn't Jung Ji-hoon jealous of Han Woo? Of course he is jealous.

Even if he didn't say a word related to this from beginning to end, Han Yu and he both understood that he was jealous of Han Yu.

So does Jung Ji-hoon hate Han Woo? Of course he does.

This can be seen between the lines of his words.

However, even though he was jealous and hateful, Jung Ji-hoon still sat calmly with him today.

The reason is not because of generosity, there is only one reason, or rather, the reason is only because of that person.

There is always a person in the world who can take you from the original high posture to the dirt.

For Jung Ji-hoon, Kim Tae-hee is that person.

Thinking about it from another angle, Han Yu asked himself, can he do this to Yun'a?

He couldn't figure out an answer.

Maybe it's because he hasn't experienced it, or it may be because he and Yuna still have some unclear relationship.

All in all, through this conversation with Jung Ji-hoon, Han Woo completely understood the other party's love for Kim Tae-hee.

At this moment, his situation is becoming more and more embarrassing.

"Anything else?"

“…… Huh?"

Facing Han Yu's subconscious gaze, Zheng Zhixun repeated his question just now: "Do you have anything else......?" I don't think the two of us need to talk any further, right?"

Han Yu frowned, pursed his lips, sat up slightly straight, and said, "No." ”

"Then I'll take my leave. ”

Zheng Zhixun's action of getting up can be said to be without hesitation, from this point, Han Yu really saw that he had no good feelings for himself in his heart.

That is, after picking up his coat and walking a few steps, Zheng Zhixun stopped for no reason.

He stood beside Han Yu and hesitated for a few seconds, until Han Yu couldn't help but look up at him, then he lowered his voice and said, "What if...... I mean, if, one day Tae-hee is really ready to break up with me, please tell her and let her tell me herself. ”

Finally, the name was spoken.

Hearing Zheng Zhixun's words, Han Yu lowered his head with a complicated expression and said to him in a deep voice: "Don't worry, there won't be that day." ”

Zheng Zhixun lowered his gaze and stared at him for two seconds, then said coldly, "Don't be too confident. You alone can't represent her future, is it possible that without you, she won't meet other people she likes in the future?"

After saying that, without waiting for Han Yu's reaction, Zheng Zhixun strode towards the door of the store.

Sitting in place, slightly stunned as he pushed the door and left without looking back, Han Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Looks like I'm a dull bastard in this regard. ”

After laughing at himself in a low voice, Han Yu was silent for a while, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a long-lost number......

"Hmm...... Have you received a new script lately? I have a book here, and I'd like you to come along. ”
