김태형

"Huh, ha..."

What, this dream...

김태형

"It's too vivid to be a dream..."

김태형

"That lady... was... a manager..."

김태형

"and..."

Swish-]

김태형

"This heart... it hurts so much..."

As I mentioned yesterday, if there is such a thing as a past life, is it something like this...?

The throbbing, aching pain in my heart wasn't simply pain. It was clearly the kind of pain that comes with sadness.

Why did that woman have to be the manager I met for the first time yesterday...?

I checked the time. It was 6:13. I was slowly getting ready to set up security. As a personal bodyguard, I had to be ready early.

We safely picked up the Chairman, who arrived in Jeju Island by plane last night, from the airport.

Suddenly-]

조성일

"You have a lot on your plate today. You should have rested a little longer."

김태형

"No, sir."

김태형

"As the Chairman's personal bodyguard, it's only natural that I should do this."

조성일

"Haha. I guess I picked a good personal bodyguard."

조성일

"Then let's go."

Although this was definitely an unfamiliar place, I slept surprisingly well. I've never slept this comfortably, even at home. I greeted the morning with a light heart, as if everything had been shaken off, and I washed up and prepared to go out.

The meeting was scheduled for 5 p.m., so I was free until then. After finishing my makeup, I grabbed my bag and left the hotel, heading toward the buildings I hadn't seen yesterday.

Unlike Seoul, which is filled with densely packed buildings, this place, with its many small buildings, brought a sense of peace to my heart. As I walked, a sign caught my eye.

A timeless heart...

Drawn in by the name of the store, I went inside.

Upon entering, I realized it was an ordinary antique shop. Perhaps because I was born into a wealthy family, I wasn't used to places like this. But the items in this place were truly fascinating.

I know they're antiques and not new, but some of them were so clean that it looked like no one had ever touched them.

There was no one inside the antique shop. All I could find was a piece of paper written by the owner.

한여주

"You want me to put the price of the item as I please... What if I get robbed at this rate...?"

"Don't worry, miss. They're all antiques, so no one will take them."

한여주

"Are you the owner of this store...?"

"I'm not the owner of this store. I'm the owner of the bookstore next door."

한여주

"But can you really set the price of an item as you please?"

"Yes. Guests can decide on the value of the item they wish to take and place it in the jar. You read that piece of paper, right? However, you may only take one item."

한여주

"Yes. But does the owner of this store always leave the store empty like this?"

"You can say that it's mostly empty."

"Then, let's take a look at the items you're taking." (Look around slowly)

So the owner of the bookstore next door went into his store.

As I slowly browsed through the items, a sparkling hairpin caught my eye. I carefully lifted it and examined it closely.

Saruk-]

김태형

"Miss, please accept this."

한여주

"Your Majesty, isn't this a hairpin?"

김태형

"I agree"

김태형

"When I saw this hairpin, I thought of you, young lady."

한여주

"It's so pretty" ((smiles faintly

김태형

"I'm glad you like it, Miss."

김태형

"It suits you so well, miss."

[Swaying-]

Tub-]

I barely managed to keep my balance by leaning against the wall, and thought carefully about the vision I had just seen.

한여주

"Ha, ha... It was definitely the same yesterday, and the illusion I saw today doesn't seem to be just an illusion..."

It's clear that the person called Miss is me, but who is the person called Na-ri...? My heart aches when I think about it.

I was certain the hairpin in my hand was the one from earlier. Deciding to take it with me, I opened my wallet, took out a 100,000 won bill, and placed it in a jar.

I feel like this hairpin is not an ordinary hairpin, so it feels special.
