Return To The Building Owner [EN]: Chapter 662

A Week Later.

Yun Ji-su, the day before her cafe opens.

“Hoo…!”

Yun Ji-su, who was cleaning, stretched her back and took a long breath.

It was 3 PM, and she had been busy since morning.

It seemed like things were finally wrapping up.

“Boss, would you like a cup of coffee?” Lee Ji-eun, whom she hired as staff, asked Yun Ji-su.

“Sure, why not? Make it strong, I’m tired.”

“Yes, please wait a moment.”

Lee Ji-eun, with her hair tied up, approached the coffee machine and expertly started making coffee.

A little later.

The two sat side by side, placing two cups of coffee by the window.

Lee Ji-eun looked at Yun Ji-su and said,

“Boss, the view here is so great. Because it’s high up, you can see the whole town at a glance…”

“Right? That’s why I love it here too. When I sit here and drink coffee, it feels like I’m in some European town.”

“It really feels like that. Especially when it rains, drinking coffee here would be really nice.”

“It’ll probably be fantastic…”

A smile began to spread across Yun Ji-su’s face. Her gaze naturally turned to one place.

Her gaze was directed towards the video store run by Hyun-sung.

Since it was about 1 kilometer in a straight line, she could see the video store at a glance.

That was another advantage of this place.

Even while working, she could come to the window and see the place where her beloved was working.

“Boss.”

“Yeah, why?”

“There hasn’t been a call yet today.”

“Huh? From where?”

“Where else? The call you’ve been waiting for, Boss.”

Lee Ji-eun said with a smile. Yun Ji-su smiled and immediately continued,

“Is it that obvious?”

“Of course, you’ve been cleaning while constantly looking over there.”

“Was I…”

Yun Ji-su couldn’t deny it. It was true that she was unconsciously looking towards the window where Hyun-sung’s store was.

It was then.

*Ding-dong!*

Her phone rang.

Yun Ji-su’s eyes sparkled.

Seeing that, Lee Ji-eun got up and walked away. It was her consideration to let her talk on the phone comfortably.

Yun Ji-su glanced at her and smiled slightly. Then she immediately answered the phone.

“Hello.”

-It’s me, Ji-su.

As expected, the person who called was Hyun-sung.

-What were you doing?

“I was cleaning and taking a break. What about you, Hyun-sung?”

-I just had a customer a little while ago…

The two began to talk. It wasn’t anything special, just small, everyday things.

The expression on Yun Ji-su’s face while talking on the phone was happier than ever.

About 10 minutes passed.

Yun Ji-su, who had finished talking on the phone, suddenly called Lee Ji-eun.

“Ji-eun.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“I’m going out for a bit, so finish up the rest.”

“Yes, go ahead. Anyway, I’m almost done… But where are you going?”

“To the market.”

“Suddenly?”

Lee Ji-eun tilted her head. Then Yun Ji-su smiled and said,

“Yeah, I’m going to the market with Hyun-sung. I suddenly want to eat spicy fish stew today.”

“Okay, I understand. You two are really enviable.”

“Enviable? I’m going then.”

Yun Ji-su immediately left the cafe and went up to the 3rd floor. She had moved into the 3rd floor two days ago.

Yun Ji-su, who entered the house, quickly washed up and sat in front of the vanity. Then she started putting on makeup at a rapid pace.

Hyun-sung had told her not to wear makeup and just come out, but she couldn’t do that.

A little later.

Yun Ji-su, who had finished her makeup, changed her clothes and went down to the first floor. Hyun-sung was already waiting in the parking lot.

“Hyun-sung!”

“Come on in.”

“Did you wait long?”

“No, I just arrived too.”

Yun Ji-su already knew. He says that, but he had already been waiting in the parking lot for more than 10 minutes. He’s always like that. He always comes early and waits quietly without showing it.

“Aren’t you going to greet me?”

“We just did a while ago?”

“Not that. Here.”

Hyun-sung suddenly pouted his lips. Only then did Yun Ji-su give in and kiss him on the lips. Then Hyun-sung immediately said again.

“Isn’t this cheating?”

“What is it this time?”

“How can you wear such pretty makeup to the market? What about the others?”

“I only did the basics, is it too much?”

“No, I’m just kidding. It looks good. Your lips are so pretty too, in that sense, one more time…”

Hyun-sung put his lips out again. But this time, it wasn’t her lips that came back, but her finger.

Yun Ji-su pushed Hyun-sung’s forehead with her finger and said,

“Stop it~~~!”

Yun Ji-su’s unique habit came out. Of course, Hyun-sung already knew. He had to stop here.

“Okay, let’s go then.”

The Jeep with the two people in it came down the hill and headed to Bupyeong Market.

Yun Ji-su opened her mouth.

“Did you get a call from your mother?”

“Why suddenly?”

“I saw her in my dream last night.”

“No, you’ve only seen her once, and she’s already appearing in your dreams?”

It was a strange thing.

Usually, old memories appear in dreams. It’s rare for someone to appear in a dream after only seeing them once or twice.

But Yun Ji-su said that she had only seen her once, but she appeared in her dream.

“I thought it was strange too.”

“By the way, what did my mother say in the dream?”

“She gave me a basket of peaches. Red ripe peaches.”

“So?”

“I picked the prettiest peach and ate it with the skin on. And it was so sweet.”

Gulp.

Yun Ji-su swallowed as soon as she finished speaking. Seeing that, Hyun-sung didn’t say anything for a while, wondering what he was thinking.

When Hyun-sung didn’t say anything, Yun Ji-su asked.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Hey, Ji-su. Call your mother-in-law right now.”

“My mom? Why?”

“Call her, tell her about the dream, and ask her what kind of dream it is.”

“A dream is just a dream, what meaning does it have…”

“Quickly!”

Hyun-sung’s words were faster than hers. Hyun-sung’s expression was different from usual, looking quite serious.

Seeing that, Yun Ji-su tilted her head and immediately asked.

“Why are you suddenly so serious?”

“There’s something going on. Call your mother-in-law quickly, quickly. Okay?”

When Hyun-sung urged her, Yun Ji-su tilted her head, took out her phone, and started calling.

A little later.

Yun Ji-su just stared at Hyun-sung after finishing the call, without saying anything. Judging by her expression, she must have been surprised.

“Why? What did your mother say?”

“Well, that’s…”

For some reason, Yun Ji-su couldn’t continue. Then Hyun-sung immediately said as if he was frustrated.

“Tell me quickly. What did your mother say?”

“She said something strange.”

“Strange? What did she say?”

“Well… she said it was a conception dream.”

“A conception dream?”

Hyun-sung’s voice suddenly grew louder.

Hyun-sung stopped the car. Then he looked at Yun Ji-su and asked again.

“Did you just say it’s a conception dream?”

“That’s what my mom said.”

“Hahaha…”

Hyun-sung suddenly started laughing loudly. But on the contrary, Yun Ji-su had a serious expression. Then she opened her mouth again.

“Are you laughing now?”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“It’s not that, but it’s too sudden. I didn’t even think about it in my dreams…”

Yun Ji-su was dumbfounded.

In fact, because of her age, she had given up on having children to some extent.

Why wouldn’t she want them? But it wasn’t something that could be achieved by wanting it. So, it was the most concerning part from the beginning when she met Hyun-sung.

“Shouldn’t we go to the hospital?”

“Not yet.”

“Huh? Why? Go and get an accurate test…”

“It won’t show up yet. You can only know after a certain amount of time has passed.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Hyun-sung immediately nodded. Then he immediately took her hand.

“Thank you.”

“We don’t know anything yet…”

“Regardless of that, thank you. I’m just grateful for you being by my side.”

In the previous life, the two met too late, so they had no choice but to give up on having children. But there were no regrets. They thought it would be enough if only the two of them were happy.

But that was only Hyun-sung’s thought.

His wife said something different. She said she was sad. She said it would have been nice if they had met a little earlier. Then she also said she was sorry. Whenever that happened, Hyun-sung pretended to be okay.

That’s how the two were.

But this time, it’s different from the previous life. Compared to then, he met her 4 years earlier.

Hyun-sung’s words continued.

“I only need Ji-su. Do you know what I mean?”

“…”

Yun Ji-su looked at Hyun-sung instead of answering. Then she reached out and took Hyun-sung’s hand and continued.

“No, I’m greedy. I’m going to have our baby.”

“Okay, but don’t feel pressured. I’m happy enough with just you.”

“Thank you for saying that. Now, let’s go back to the market.”

The car with the two people in it started running towards Bupyeong Market again.

***

A week later.

Fortunately, the cafe run by Yun Ji-su was successful. As expected, the location played a big role. Because it was located in the highest place in the neighborhood, the scenery was enough to captivate people.

“Boss, it’s starting to rain.”

Kim Min-ki, who had gone out to collect videotapes, said as he entered the store.

Hyun-sung immediately checked the time. It was just past 3 PM.

Hyun-sung got up from his seat.

“Min-ki, I’m going out for a bit, so watch the store.”

“Yes, anyway, it’s a slow time now, so take your time.”

Hyun-sung left the store and headed to the parking lot. Hyun-sung, who got into the Jeep, immediately made a call somewhere.

-Hello,

“Ji-su, it’s me.”

-I was just thinking of calling you because it started raining a little while ago, but you called first.

“The spring rain is falling so beautifully.”

The spring rain was falling quite a bit.

-I know, right? It’s even more fantastic looking down from the cafe here.

“So I’m going there now. Do you need anything?”

-No, I don’t. I just need Hyun-sung by my side.”

“Now you’re saying those cheesy things naturally.”

-Hehe, is that so? But it’s not a joke, I feel empty next to me because of the spring rain.

“Okay, wait a little bit. I’ll be there soon.”

Click.

Hyun-sung, who hung up the phone, left the parking lot and headed to a nearby flower shop.

A little later.

Hyun-sung, who came out of the flower shop, was holding a bouquet of freesias. The flower that he gave to Yun Ji-su as a gift every spring in his previous life was freesia. After calla [Calla lilies] and roses, her favorite flower was freesia.

Hyun-sung, who got into the car, immediately headed to the cafe.

“Oh my!”

As soon as Hyun-sung entered the cafe, Yun Ji-su put her hands together and didn’t know what to do. He held out the freesias to her.

“Here, take it.”

“Thank you, how did you know I like freesias…”

“That’s basic.”

Hyun-sung walked to the window and took a seat. Then Lee Ji-eun immediately brought coffee. It wasn’t the first time, so she brought it on her own.

“Thank you, Ji-eun.”

Hyun-sung was about to drink his coffee when he looked at Yun Ji-su and asked.

“Aren’t you drinking, Ji-su?”

“I can’t drink it.”

“Huh? You can’t drink it? Why?”

“There’s something going on.”

The expression on Yun Ji-su’s face was strange. Hyun-sung wouldn’t miss that.

“What’s wrong?”

“That’s…”

“Why are you hesitating so much?”

“Actually, I just checked a little while ago… and two lines came up.”
