The Famous Millionaire Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 209

Hyunwoo and Suji left the hotel at dawn and left for the east coast.

It was the first time they came to the coast to watch the sunrise.

There were few who came to see the sunrise like them because of the bad weather.

But Hyunwoo and Suji didn't care. What's important to them was not watching the sunrise, but spending time together.

The wind was pretty strong. Though it was mid-summer, the wind was cold as it was early in the morning.

Hyunwoo hugged her from behind and quietly watched the horizon on the sea.

That was it. Though it's past sunrise, the sun could not be seen anywhere because of the cloudy sky.

She didn't expect it from the start, so she had no reason to be disappointed. Both of them were watching the heartless horizon quietly as if it was more important for them to be there together than watching the sunrise.

They had breakfast at a nearby restaurant and went back to Ansan.

Suji proposed a different idea this time.

“Can I come with you to Seoul?”

Hyunwoo found it hard to accept. It didn't matter to him, but not to Chan. Chan could freely talk with Hyunwoo in the presence of Ani & Funny employees like Kyungsu and Sanggyu. But he could not if Suji were with Hyunwoo.

When Hyunwoo was hesitating, she made a sullen expression. But she quickly looked out the window as if she didn't want to show her look to him.

Suji said in a calm voice, “I can just go shopping while you're seeing him. I'll see you after you're done.”

That would not be a problem, and Hyunwoo thought it was a pretty good solution.

But he couldn't feel glad about it because she still seemed depressed, looking out the window.

“Sorry, let me try to find more time after that.”

Suji didn't reply. Maybe she was thinking he couldn't keep his promise.

Hyunwoo arrived in Seoul a little early, so he tried to soothe her troubled mind by taking her to a department store to buy clothes and a necklace.

But she wasn't interested in that kind of stuff.

What she wanted was just one thing. It was Hyunwoo to spend more time with her.

It was almost noon.

As the appointment time was approaching, Hyunwoo felt sorrier towards her.

But she let him go and said in a calm voice, “Have a good meeting. Let me take care of myself here.”

“Maybe I'll discuss with him about business. The meeting might last longer than expected.”

“Got it. Don't worry about me and have a good meeting.”

Hyunwoo hurried to the appointed place.

Left alone at the department store, Suji slowly went around the store. She didn't need to hurry because the only purpose of her staying there was to wait for him.

She kept checking the time on her watch almost every ten minutes.

Already one hour passed, which she felt was longer than two hours.

At that moment, a strange man's voice was heard in her ears.

“Suji”

She turned her head to find a fine and handsome gentleman looking at her.

Her eyes opened wide at him. Though she saw him in a long time, she could not forget his face.

“Oh, my god! You're Jungsu, right?”

He was her senior by three years, who she met at a volunteering club in college. He was tall and handsome. As a law major, he was pretty smart, so everybody expected he could pass the bar exam easily.

Above all, he was from a rich family, so he drove a foreign car worth tens of millions of won when he was attending college.

He was also a pure-hearted guy.

In his college days, he had a girlfriend. As a freshman, he met her on a blind date with the girls form a different college.

Suji had seen her before.

In short, the couple didn't look like a good match. She had a fine figure with good character. But there was nothing special about her. She was neither beautiful nor charming.

Numerous other girls tried to seduce Jungsu, but he was not tempted by them.

That's what he said when approached by other girls.

He continued to date the girl until he graduated.

Of course, Suji liked him secretly. Maybe she might have liked his image as a pure-hearted man.

“How long has it been since we saw each other last?”

It was the first time he saw Suji since he graduated from college.

“It looks like six or seven years,” said Suji.

She felt somewhat strange. Even though she had not met him in many years, she didn't find him strange at all. She momentarily thought she might have had some romantic feelings about him.

“Wow, you look like the same girl as when you were a sophomore in college. Indeed, you are!”

She smiled bashfully, wrapping her face with both hands.

“By the way, is your house in Seoul? To the best of my knowledge, it was in a provincial city.”

Suji's eyes became wider at that.

Though she liked him very much, she didn't remember where he lived, but he remembered her location accurately. The fact that he knew her house was not located in Seoul surprised her a lot.

“Well, I lived in Ansan, but recently moved to Hwasung. Hoho,” said Suji, hiding her laughter with hand.

Jungsu showed pleasure when he heard 'Hwasung'.

“Really? Actually, I have been transferred to Hwasung.”

Come to think of it, he majored in law, and she learned from someone that he passed the bar exam.

“Oh, are you now a judge or a prosecutor?”

“Prosecutor. I'm working at the Hwasung branch of Suwon Prosecutors' Office, starting next week.”

“Wow, I'm glad to hear that!” said she gladly, clapping her hands.

He smiled happily and said, “Well, I was concerned a bit because I don't know anybody in Hwasung. I'm a bit relieved to know Suji lives there.”

“Please let me know when you come down. Let me treat you to a meal. Hohoho.”

Suji smiled at him, but her peculiar smile with her eyes seemed to suggest in others' eyes that she had some good feelings about him.

Jungsu felt the same way. Whenever she smiled at him, his heart got fidgety.

“Sounds good. By the way, what are you doing here?”

“I was just shopping.”

“What a coincidence! How can I run into you like this here? And that in this crowded department store?”

“You bet!” said Suji, with a look of wonder.

“They say there is no coincidence in the world. Maybe it's our destiny that we have run into each other like this? Hahaha,” said Jungsu, laughing heartily as if he felt awkward after having said that.

She felt somewhat strange, so she didn't reply.

“Are you here alone?”

“No, with a boyfriend,” said Suji nonchalantly. She thought he was still dating the girl that he had met in college because he was a pure-hearted guy.

But he looked somewhat sad when the word 'boyfriend' came out her lips.

But he quickly hid his sad look and looked around.

“Really? Where is your boyfriend? You have to introduce him to me!”

At that moment, she blushed. It looked like she was discarded by her boyfriend.

But she didn't want to get away with it by lying to him.

“He's meeting somebody for an appointment.”

“Why did he leave you alone here instead of going together?” Jungsu made a queer expression on his face.

“Well, it's not a meeting I can attend with him. In fact, my boyfriend should have come here alone, but I insisted that we come together. I can hang around by shopping anyway.”

“I see,” he said, nodding his head.

But he cast a pitying glance at her, which she didn't like. She wanted to change the topic.

“Are you here alone? What happened to the girl you were dating?”

“Well, I broke up with her long time ago. When I joined the army, she deserted me.”

“Oh my god!”

Suji was surprised a lot. How can a woman desert such a fine guy who even passed the bar exam and had a rosy future?

As if he read her mind, Jungsu smiled bitterly.

“When I came out on leave, I learned that she was dating another guy. That really sucked. She asked me to forgive her just one time, but I couldn't. So, I broke up with her.”

No, she could understand the situation.

“Did you get another girlfriend after that?”

“As you know, you don't become a judge or prosecutor as soon as you pass the exam. You need to have good scores at the Judicial Research and Training Institute. So, I only focused on studying. I had no time to date.”

Suji looked at him with a pitiful expression.

As if he felt her look was a bit pressuring, he gave out a hearty laugh.

“Haha. It's a bygone story. By the way, I'm glad to meet you here. In fact, I have bad taste in clothing. If you are free, can you help me buy clothes? I think you have better taste in clothes. Won't you?”

“Sure, let me help you.”
