34 You remember everything? (1/2)
Choi Min Ho realizes that he is a bit late when he sees the person from the Monarch. He curses the headmaster of the academy for being stingy. If he could borrow his car, he could reach here on time. Yoo Mi Yeong informed him only a few hours ago.
”Who are you?” Nam Ji Won frowns at him. ”Why are you calling me whiny puppy?”
”Nam Ji Won, you already forgot me?” His eyes become big with shock. ”I am Choi Min Ho.”
She scans him from the top to bottom. ”You look different.”
”That was my sick look to adjust into the hospital life.” He smiles at her.
”Ah, right!” She steps closer to him. ”Why are you here?”
”I am here because of the contract.” He also leans toward her. ”I am the one who gave you the fifty million dollar items.”
”I feel scammed though.” Nam Ji Won sighs.
”It restored your memories and healed you completely.” Choi Min Ho looks offended. ”I actually gave you a discount. Do you know what I had to go through to find it?”
Nam Ji Won rolls her eyes. ”Let's go somewhere else to talk.”
”Why can't we go to your house?” He looks at her house. ”I want to see your family.”
”We don't have that kind of relationship where you can meet my family.” Nam Ji Won walks ahead of him. ”Come now.”
”That hurts, my whiny puppy!” Choi Min Ho jogs to her side. ”How do you feel now?”
”I feel the same...but now, I have my memories. So, I am less likely to make stupid mistakes.” She is grumpy. ”I came out to take a stroll. I ended up meeting you. My luck is rather bad.”
”It is bad.” He agrees with her. If it wasn't bad, she wouldn't be at this state now. She wouldn't attract the Monarch's attention. Her luck is really bad.
”Why did you say that my condition is caused by myself?” She asks after a long pause. ”It was someone else who made me sleep for more than five years.”
Choi Min Ho doesn't answer her. ”Buy me dinner.”
She pulls his arm. ”Why did you lie to me?”
”It was for your own good.”
She sighs. She doesn't know why, but she can tell that he is lying. ”Why are you lying now?”
Choi Min Ho looks at her and tries to read her mind. He realizes that she can sense lies now. It's already started then.
”I lied because I wanted to.”
She doesn't think that he is lying now. So, she lets go of him. ”I guess, you won't tell me more.”
”You will know when the times come.” He plays with her hair. ”Buy me dinner. I am starving.”
”Why should I?” She slaps his hand. ”Don't do it.”
”You let me do this when you were a ghost.” He touches his heart. ”Nam Ji Won, you have changed.”
”You are a man. I am a woman.” She points between his legs. ”A man and woman shouldn't act like this. People can see me now.”
”Says the woman who kissed a guy ten times.” He whistles.
”That...” She lets out an exasperated sigh. ”I didn't have my memories. That doesn't count.”
”You just pointed at my male part.” He chuckles when he sees her blushing. ”Pervert!”
He is a fox. He should be sent to the wild. Why is he the one who can help her? Why wasn't it a normal person?
Choi Min Ho can clearly read her mind now. Before, he has been having difficulty because of the mind lock. Now, her mind is clear and loud. He wraps his finger around a strand of her hair. Soft.
There, he goes again. Screw it! I am too tired to protest. I should have eaten those fried chicken before I left. Lee Hyo Rin, what should I do with you? I need to find that strange man. It's weird that I didn't remember seeing him when I was a ghost. Is my head really normal? Are my memories mine? If I suddenly wake up from this nightmare, I won't be surprised.
Choi Min Ho flicks her forehead to wake her up from her trance.
”Owh!”
He lets go of her hair. ”You better buy me delicious food.”
”I don't have money now.” She is grumpy. I should have brought the money. I owe him dinner at least...along with fifty million dollars. How many zeroes again? Ah, why did I agree? I can't earn that much money even if I multiply ten times. I don't even have a high school diploma.
'She thinks too much!' Choi Min Ho sighs. 'Now, I have a headache. I should stop listening.'
Only that, he doesn't stop.
