Chapter 402

“This is, well, it’s a really long story, you know? If it were a webnovel, it’d be 360 chapters, and if it were a book series, it’d be like 17 volumes?”

“…Those numbers are oddly specific.”

“Anyway. It’s a pretty long story, so I don’t think this is the right place to tell it.”

Natasha nodded at Cordelia’s assertion. It was indeed a bit much to stand on a rooftop and recount a long, drawn-out tale.

“By the way… are you Yu-hee?”

At Natasha’s question, Cordelia seemed to ponder for a brief moment before smiling sheepishly and saying, “Yep, that’s right. I’m Yu-hee.”

“I really can’t figure out what’s happening.”

First Jino, and now Yu-hee.

“Wait, now that I think about it.”

“Now that you think about it?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Shaking her head, Natasha cut herself off and let out another sigh.

There were two Jinos, and both of them were taken… and by Yu-hee, of all people.

“Isn’t that so unfair?”

“Huh? Unfair? What is?”

As Cordelia blinked and asked again, Natasha pouted for a moment before speaking to the still-silent Yuder.

“Anyway, if it’s a long story, let’s go to my place.”

“You… moved here?”

“Yeah, I came to live in Korea, just like Cordelia suggested.”

At Natasha’s words, Yuder glanced at Cordelia, his eyes asking just what kind of letter she had left. Cordelia gave an awkward, embarrassed laugh and then grabbed Natasha’s hand.

“Anyway, shall we go then? It’s nearby, right?”

“It’s nearby.”

Seeing Cordelia approach so casually, Natasha thought she was similar to Yu-hee, yet different, and lightly took the lead.

And about twenty minutes later.

“Wait, this is the place?”

“Yep, this is it.”

The apartment where Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee lived. To be precise, the unit right above Kang Jin-ho’s.

“I had to spend a bit to get it on a quick sale… but Cordelia left me so much money.”

Natasha chuckled, pressing the code on the digital door lock as she continued.

“Don’t worry about Jino and Yu-hee. They went out this morning for a ‘motel date’ or something. They’re probably busy playing games right now.”

At her slightly sulky tone, Yuder cleared his throat unnecessarily, while Cordelia blushed for some reason at the mention of a ‘motel date.’

“Hoo, I’m suddenly getting angry.”

“Natasha?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Pouting again, Natasha swung the door wide open and once again led the way inside.

“Have a seat in the living room. I’ll just get some tea or something—”

It was at that very moment.

With a series of pops, party poppers went off all around, and a familiar melody drifted from the living room.

“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Natasha~ Happy birth—”

And that was as far as they got.

Inside Natasha’s living room.

A handsome young man and a pretty girl, who had run out setting off party poppers—or to be more precise, wearing party hats on their heads—froze in place, blinking with blank expressions.

And it was the same for those on the other side—Yuder, Cordelia, and Natasha.

What the hell are you guys doing here?

But the water was already spilled, and there was no turning back.

Kang Jin-ho stared at Yuder and Cordelia with a flustered expression, Natasha narrowed her eyes as if a headache was coming on, and Yuder covered his forehead with one hand.

And as for Cordelia and Hong Yu-hee—

“C-Cordelia?!”

“Ah, hello?”

A meeting between herself and her favorite character.

At Cordelia’s awkward greeting, Hong Yu-hee blinked several times, then looked at Yuder standing next to Cordelia, and with a radiant smile, she closed her eyes.

And promptly fainted.
