Winter Sonata Fanfiction 11 of 38

 

"You and Sang-hyeok-si, of course. Who else?"

"Me and Sang-hyeok...?"

Yoo-jin wonders for a while, remembering that Joon-sang also said something weird a while ago.

"Do you think I married Sang-hyeok? Is that what you mean?"

 Kim lightly touches the head of his nose with his finger, wondering if it could be a mistake. 

Then he thinks she and Sang-hyeok cradled the girl just two days ago.

"Yes, I'm sure you did.  And you have a child. A girl, right?"

"A girl..."　Yoo-jin mumbles.

There is a brief silence.

"Could it be Ji-hyun?"

Kim nods while saying:

"I don't know her name .But I saw you near the apartment in Seoul, holding her a few days ago__"

He realizes he just confessed that he(and Joon-sang) had visited there. 

 "Oh sh*t"

Hearing his tweet of regret, Yoo-jin says clearly.

”I got it, Mr. Kim. That girl is Jin-sook's child. And her husband, Yong-gook's."

"Jin-sook?"

Kim, murmuring, looks up at the ceiling, trying to remember that name.

"Jin-sook! yah!  Jin-sook-si!"

His eyes widen.

"W--WHAT ?”

He says, or rather shouts, looking at her smiling.

It's written on her face: Do you understand?

He hears Yoo-jin coming back to him.

"Kang Joon-sang!"

She calls out as if they were in the high school.

" ? "

He takes his hand off the puzzle and turns his head toward the voice.
