Even If It’s Not Love

going to take the money.
However, it was something she had said, and she couldn’t pretend it didn’t happen now, so she handed her the money with a sigh.

Thump!

“Aack!”

As soon as their hands touched, the lady screamed and threw the money.
The lady held her hand as if it had been scorched in a fire and glared at Yoo-hwa.
Her gaze was a mixture of displeasure, disgust, and fear.

“Why are you holding my hand! This sucks!”

She bumped her hand by mistake, but the lady blamed Yoo-hwa for it.

“Anyway, I will give you the rest of the money later, just so you know.
And be careful not to bump into me! Gosh, how unlucky am I today…”

The lady, who spoke to herself in a way that was audible, walked past Yoo-hwa.
The money was blown away by the wind and scattered everywhere.
The lady, who was walking by as if she didn’t care because it wasn’t her money anymore, flinched as she saw the man who had just entered through the front gate.
She naturally thought no one would be there.
Well, it’s been a long time since someone came to this multi-unit house.

The man was unusually tall and had sharp eyes and a slender jawline.
He had a strange atmosphere to him, so he was a very handsome man.

The lady’s gaze, scanning Woo-hyun up and down, became vague.
Then, throwing a glance at Yoo-hwa, she shook his head.
It was clear that there was a strange misunderstanding.

But Woo-hyun didn’t get it right away.
He just hoped that this old lady would disappear from his eyes as soon as possible, without being needlessly nosy.

After feeling the stinging attitude coming from Woo-hyun, the lady flinched and hurriedly left the house.

While the old lady walked away with loud footsteps, Yoo-hwa, as if she couldn’t hear anything, crouched and started picking up the 10,000 won bills one by one.
Her long, slender fingers swept the cracked cement floor and picked up the bills.
Slowly, like picking up something precious.

Yoo-hwa picked up a total of five bills and looked around.
While checking to see if she had missed any money, she stopped when he came upon Woo-hyun’s sneakers.
After seeing that his sneakers were walking towards her, Yoo-hwa raised her head in surprise, as if she had only now realized that there was someone there.

“Here.”

Woo-hyun handed a 10,000 won bill to Yoo-hwa, who had just met his gaze.
Although Yoo-hwa saw the banknote she had been looking for, she did not reach out her hand easily.
Meanwhile, Woo-hyun smiled, slowly.
With a gentle face that was good to win people’s favor.
