Chapter 21

1 month has passed.

SuA returned home after her work schedule. She is currently working as a chef for a popular restaurant in Seoul, a restaurant called Cherry, owned by her old friend, Kim Minji.

Kim Minji is a friend she met when she worked together at Bon Voyage restaurant when she was living in the Guryong slum. Because of the amnesia accident, in SuA's head, the images of working at Bon Voyage were not strange, they were very close, she felt like she just worked there yesterday. She accidentally met Minji again while drinking tea in a coffee shop. This meeting was like fate, it helped SuA have work to do. Although SuA knew that she had a lot of money, she did not know where the money came from, it could have come from the suitcase.

SuA did not expect that after a few years, Minji would be able to own a restaurant in the heart of Seoul. The restaurant is not too large but cozy enough, located on a quite crowded street of the city. Minji said that a few years ago, she was given a large amount of money by SuA, then used it to play electronic stocks, persevered in learning and tinkering, she also accumulated some capital to start her own business, she did not want to be employee forever.

Minji is very grateful to SuA, because the two are not too close, just work friends, but SuA generously gave her such an amount of money. She had never received so much money from anyone in her entire life. When she accidentally met SuA again, Minji was very happy and asked SuA to come to Cherry restaurant to work.

SuA already has some cooking skills, so bringing SuA in was a great choice.

Then SuA used the name Kim SuA at work, this name she first made up when she was questioned by the police in Daegu, and now she uses it at work. The reason she did that was because Siyeon requested it.

Siyeon asked her that, when she works anywhere, she should use the name Kim SuA, and her real name Kim Bora should only be used at home. SuA also didn't understand why Siyeon asked that, she just unconsciously followed Siyeon

Then she also didn't understand why Siyeon knew the name Kim SuA. In her memory, when she talked to the police, Siyeon was not there. Lee Siyeon is clearly a character not in her memory, she can't remember where or how she first met Siyeon...

Yet she has to live with Siyeon, sleep in the same bed, she has to adapt to this every day.

She knew Siyeon was very sad about that, but she had no other choice. Currently, she sees Siyeon as a partner in the same house, taking care of the baby, and nothing more.

Her phone screen had also changed to a different background image, a landscape photo of red flowers. She did that because she didn't want to see the happy photo between her and Siyeon. She felt like it wasn't real to the present. If she kept looking at it all the time, it wouldn't be very good.

And she knew Siyeon was also sad about that. She knew all Siyeon’s sadness, she just didn't know how to handle them effectively.

Siyeon sometimes sleeps next to her, sometimes sleeps with baby Shin. Especially on days when Siyeon is sad about her, Siyeon will sleep with Shin.

- Are you back? Let's have dinner – Siyeon brought each plate of food to the table.

- I ate at the restaurant - SuA waved her hand and went into the room.

Siyeon pursed her lips and followed in. SuA has been eating at work lately, and she doesn't like it very much.

- From the moment you started working until now, why do you always eat at workplace? Eating at home would be safer.

- The restaurant has quality food, you can rest assured - SuA took off her jacket

- Who do you eat with at the restaurant?

- Eat with the staff there, with Minji.

- You and Minji are just friends, right, is there anything else?

- No, just friends, you think that's going a bit far.

- We live in the same house but we don't eat lunch together, we don't eat dinner together either, do you want us to keep living like that?

- Siyeon, calm down, I'm going to take a shower - SuA entered the bathroom, leaving the other person alone in the space.

Siyeon breathed heavily, brought a pillow to Shin's room to sleep. On the way she met the maid Jo.

- Miss Lee, don't you have dinner?

- I don't want to eat anymore, help Shin eat for me - Siyeon went straight into the room.

- Ms. Lee…..

- What's wrong?

- President Lee called you today, you didn't answer the phone, the president called me and told me to pass on the message, he wanted you to go home.

- Okay, I will call dad and arrange to go home.

A sleepless night passed.

Siyeon woke up early in the morning and decided to go back to Daegu. The negative emotions inside her would definitely be alleviated if she went to another dimension. Her and Bora's house was originally filled with happiness, but now it became her insecurity.

She kept telling herself that she needed to be more patient. Bora is currently a woman with many ambitions about work, even though she already has a lot of money, she doesn't care about the relationship between her and Siyeon. Siyeon needs to respect Bora's preferences, she cannot force Bora to live according to her wishes.

She cannot force Bora to live for their family right now, while Bora herself doesn't even remember anything about this small family.

"I'm going to Daegu for 2 days. After work, come home early to take care of baby Shin. If possible, you should spend time having dinner with him"

Siyeon handed over the work to Mrs. Jo, texted Bora and then drove to Daegu.

She returned to her childhood home in a tired mood. Looking at her face, Mr. Lee could guess that something bad had happened.

- Bora was forced by her boss to drink a poisonous solution, she lost all her memories of the last few years. She can't remember me and Shin - Siyeon sadly said, last week she also returned to Daegu but because of work, she didn't have time to talk to her father.

- My condolences, I hope everything good will come in the near future - Mr. Lee took a sip of coffee, feeling helpless, both of them were sitting on the balcony, looking out at the romantic beach.

- I'm always grateful that after this, she no longer needs to work for that mafia organization, nor is she wanted by anyone, but now she lives for herself too much, not caring about the people in her family, while her son was at home and still a baby.

- Sing, please be patient a little longer. The person who truly loves you in this world, I think there is no one else besides Kim Bora.

- …………….

- Right from the day you suddenly left the dinner table and went out of the house, I saw through the window Bora coming to pick you up and kiss you.

- …………….

- Then you lied to me and said you went with Seonghwa to try living together. I knew you went to live with Bora, then you brought back your pregnant belly, I could all guess it was because of her, but I waited for you to say it out directly.

- ……………..

- No matter how many things have happened, you two are still together until now, I think it is a destiny destined by heaven.

- ……………….

- So no matter what difficulties arise in the future, you must stay calm to find a way to handle the problem, Sing, otherwise you will have to live alone again.

- ………………… - Siyeon looked at her father with sad eyes. She felt partly relieved because Mr. Lee finally accepted the relationship between her and Bora.

- In the past, if you lived alone, it was fine, but now that you have Shin, you must always have someone by your side, even if that person is not meeting your needs, but you should try your best. .

- A few days ago, while cleaning the house, I discovered a ring box in the corner of the closet, which contained a couple rings and a small card - Siyeon said with tears in her eyes.

- Bora must have prepared that.

- On that ring box there was a barcode of Meez ring brand from Hong Kong. I called to inquire and found out that those two rings were bought in Hong Kong nearly a year ago.

- ……………

- It was the time when I said goodbye to Bora to follow someone else, but that person didn't want to be serious with me at all.

- ……………..

- Maybe Bora has a plan to give me a ring but hasn't done so yet. By the time I know everything, Bora won't remember me anymore - Siyeon sighed, burying her face in her hands.

- Isn't she still by your side?

- But why do I always feel like I've lost her?

- It's just a temporary feeling, Sing, please be patient a little longer.

- ……………

- You can design long trips for two people, Bora will probably have some vibes.

- I'll think about this, right now Bora doesn't want to go anywhere, she's just busy working and I don't understand why she stays like that when she has so much money.

- Maybe that's her inherent personality, always wanting to work every day.

- ………………

- I sold Marriott's shares. I called you here to inform you of this. You will receive a small percentage of that.

Siyeon pondered then nodded. In the past, when her father gave her a certain amount of money, she was very happy, but now money has no meaning to her anymore.

She cannot be happy during this time.

Cherry Restaurant.

- Are you done, SuA? – Minji looked into the kitchen.

- Done - SuA checked the ingredients carefully and nodded, the restaurant would start welcoming customers in half an hour.

- Come out here and drink something

2 people sitting and drinking tea at the table.

- You look so sad these days? – Minji took a sip of black tea

- Siyeon returned to Daegu for 2 days so there was a lot of work - SuA smacked her lips.

- Oh, is that your partner in taking care of the baby? I thought your house had a nanny.

- Yes, she lives in the same house, but baby Shin keeps clinging to me, preventing me from doing some things.

- The three of you must have had a very close past, that's why the baby is so attached to you. He’s children, he’s only close to people he has a deep connection with.

- Haizzz

- Do you like children?

- Yes, children are cute, but to play the role of a mother... I'm not ready.

- Anyway, around you, there are too few people who know your forgotten past, which also partly proves that what Siyeon said is not necessarily 100% true.

- You mean Siyeon set me up? – SuA raised her eyebrows.

- You haven't been back to Daegu, Siyeon's hometown, right?

- That's right, since knowing Siyeon, she's returned to Daegu twice, each time going alone, leaving baby Shin for me to take care of - SuA squinted her eyes, she was skeptical about Siyeon's story, but she also didn't lose faith on Siyeon, because Siyeon's hometown is related to an event in her past. She found the suitcase with lots of money in Daegu and was questioned by the police there. SuA thought she might have met Siyeon for the first time in Daegu. Siyeon told her about this once but she didn't believe it at the time.

- I think you should go to Daegu once. If you two are each other's wives on that normal paper, then surely her family also knows, you should go there to verify your past.

- Um, you're right, I will arrange it - SuA nodded.

- Also, I have something else to tell you.

- What's wrong?

- I have a close friend from China, do you remember? She often goes to restaurants.

- Ah….Handong?

- Handong likes you very much, you two should meet.

- Do you think I'm gay? – SuA turned away, breathing heavily.

- If you weren't gay, I wouldn't believe you were straight. You’re been working here for almost a month now, and a total of 5 guys have approached you, and you’re all been cold and silent.

- Because they're not my type.

- Come on SuA, those 5 guys are all VIP guests of the restaurant, they are very famous in that city, every girl's taste, not yours, so what is your taste?

- …………

- You can't answer, I assume you only like girls.

- Minji!!.

- I look people very good, Handong is an extremely ideal girl, I will arrange a date for you - Minji smiled, taking another sip of tea.

SuA did not nod, did not object, did not know what to do with her own emptiness.
