As time goes by, the dusk becomes darker.

The increasingly intense red light of dusk passed through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and fell on the two people sitting by the window in the coffee shop.

No one noticed them, even if their eyes temporarily stopped because of the masks on their faces, they would soon lose interest and move elsewhere.

No one would have thought that under the mask, there would be two faces that are now household names throughout South Korea.

No one would have thought of what kind of content they were sitting together at this moment.

"You and her met at the end of last year, right?"

"The topics about you between her and me started almost from that time."

Unlike women, men often perfectly interpret the principle of "same-sex repulsion" in terms of communication.

It would be an embarrassing thing to sit together with two men who didn't know each other. If the two men had a tangle because of a woman, it would be even more embarrassing.

Han Yu feels this way now.

Two men who should be mortal enemies suddenly talked about topics related to one of them. Such an exhibition of events was simply weird.

"Do you believe it?"

Zheng Zhixun seemed to be unaware of this. He lowered his head, and there was a bitter smile hanging beside his mouth under the mask that anyone could see through at first sight, muttering to himself:

"From the first time she mentioned you in front of me... I knew that you would be one of my strong enemies."

"I don't know if you have ever had such an experience. A man's intuition is actually not much worse than a woman. Sometimes... you may just see her look and you will suddenly understand what comes over."

"That's what I'm with her."

"Although when she mentioned you to me the first time she mentioned you, she only said that you were a new friend she met recently, but at that time, when I saw her expression when she mentioned you, I knew that there was no reason... she should like you."

He heard this silently. While he was feeling unspeakable, Han Yu suddenly realized a little detail that had not appeared in front of him.

In Jung Ji-hoon's mouth, he never said Kim Tae-hee's name. Is this unintentional or intentional? Is he unwilling to say it, or... he can't bear to say it?

"You should be wondering why I can still sit here and say these things to you so calmly, right?"

Before Han Yu could think about this question, Zheng Zhixun raised her face and suddenly looked at him.

The benefits of masking are sometimes reflected in this.

Only when you can't see your face will focus more and observe the remaining few parts that can be observed carefully.

Looking at Zheng Zhixun, Han Yu noticed that there was not much anger in his eyes when he looked at him, but instead was filled with a complex emotion that was indescribable.

It seems to be scrutiny, but it seems to be... envious?

"She is a very straightforward woman. To put it simply, she can't hide her guilt."

"After the media exposed the scandal between you two, a while later, one day, she suddenly found me and told me that she likes you, but you don't like her."

"Do you know what my first reaction was?"

"My first reaction is to find you and then beat you up."

"It's not because she likes you, but because... you don't like her."

"It's strange, right?"

"But if you know the actual relationship between me and her, it might not be strange."

"In fact, between me and her... they are more like friends, the kind of friends who can talk about everything."

"It's just like between me and her, just between her and you. I like her, but she doesn't like me. Or... it's not that she doesn't like me, she just doesn't love me. And I knew that from the beginning."

"From the time when I dated her, I knew that the feelings for me in her heart were not actually the kind of love between men and women."

"She will confess to me that she likes you because I and she have a boyfriend and girlfriend at least on the surface. She doesn't think she betrayed me, but that her and you have made me, a 'friend', embarrassing. She feels guilty, so she confesses these things to me."

"Are you angry? Of course I am angry. No man will be angry when he encounters such a thing. At the beginning, I really had the urge to find you and break up with you on the spot."

"But... I gave up later, because of her."

"I looked at her at that time and thought, if I had fought with you two... she would probably help you?"

"So, I gave up."

“Because I don’t want to make myself look sadder.”

"As for what happened after that, it's even more ridiculous."

"I don't meet her often, but I often talk about you when I meet."

"Basically, it's all her who said it, I'll listen."

"I know, she treats me as a person who expresses pressure. But she doesn't blindly tell me how good you are, and she hardly tells me that she likes you."

"She just... in many topics I talked to, often think of you inadvertently, and then mentioned a few words and stopped talking about it."

"What's amazing is that after I got along with her, day by day, my anger towards you slowly subsided."

"Maybe I realized that she likes you, but if you don't like her, you won't intervene in my life and her."

"So I don't think there is anything to talk about between me and you. If you want to invite her, I have no objection to say. I agree with your words. She can only decide whether to agree to work or not. Since it is just a performance, we are all artists and can understand each other."

"Unless one day...you really get involved between me and her."

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhixun paused for no reason. He was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and whispered like supplementary:

"To be honest, I originally thought that you asked me out today... to break up with me on behalf of her."

When Han Yu, who was sitting opposite him and listening quietly, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not that shameless."

"I don't know you."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhixun replied immediately. He faced Han Yu's eyes, unable to tell whether it was anger or sadness, and said bluntly: "My understanding of you all comes from her... In her eyes, you are the best man in the world. To be honest, I can't stand her desolate appearance, so I don't believe in every word she said about you."

Han Yu seemed to be stunned for a moment.

After a while, he nodded dumbly and said, "...I can understand."

"But there is one thing that I don't understand."

Immediately afterwards, Han Yu thought of something again, pursed his lips, raised his head, looked at Jung Ji-hoon with a puzzled look, and asked: "About Tae-hee... even if your relationship cannot be said to be love, in name, she is your girlfriend after all, so don't you really hate her?"

Zheng Zhixun glanced at him and replied: "Everyone is fickle. A person will like many people in his life, but he will only love one person. Your appearance seems to me just an accident. As long as she does not really leave me, I will continue to try to make myself the only person she loves."

Han Yu was stunned again when he heard this, feeling something in his heart.

He has seen a humble appearance in love.

Yoona, Soo-jin...but he was never the one who compromised.

And today, he saw the humble side of men in love from Zheng Zhixun.

This side shocked him.

Isn’t Zheng Zhixun jealous of Han Yu? Of course, jealous.

Even though he didn't say anything about it from beginning to end, Han Yu and he both understood that he was jealous of Han Yu.

So does Zheng Zhixun hate Han Yu? Of course he hates him.

This can be seen from the lines in his words.

However, even though he was jealous and hated, Zheng Zhixun still sat with him calmly today.

The reason is not because of being generous, there is only one reason, or in other words, the reason is just because of that person.

There is always someone in the world who can make you go from your original high posture to the soil.

To Jung Ji-hoon, Kim Tae-hee is that person.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Han Yu asked himself, can he do this to Yoona?

He couldn't get the answer.

Maybe it's because he hasn't experienced it, or maybe it's because he and Yoona still have some unclear relationship.

In short, through this conversation with Jung Ji-hoon, Han Yu completely understood the other party's love for Kim Tae-hee.

Now, his situation became more and more embarrassing.

"Is there anything else?"

"……Um?"

Facing Han Yu's subconscious look, Zheng Zhixun repeated his question just now: "Do you have anything else? If not... I think there should be no need for us to continue talking, right?"

Han Yu frowned, then pursed his lips, sat up straight, and said, "No more."

"Then I'll say goodbye."

Zheng Zhixun's move to get up was not hesitant. From this point of view, Han Yu really saw that he had no good feelings for him.

That is, after picking up his coat and walking a few steps, Zheng Zhixun stopped for no reason.

He stood beside Han Yu and hesitated for a few seconds until Han Yu couldn't help looking up at him, then lowered his voice and said, "If... I mean if, if one day Tae-hee is really going to break up with me, please tell her and let her come and tell me personally."

Finally, I said that name.

Hearing Zheng Zhixun’s words, Han Yu lowered his head with a complicated expression and said to him in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, there will be no such day.”

Zheng Zhixun lowered her gaze, stared at him for two seconds, and then suddenly said, "Don't be too confident. You alone can't represent her future. Will she not meet other people she likes in the future without you?"

After saying that, before Han Yu could react, Zheng Zhixun strode towards the store.

Sitting there, staring at the figure who was quite strong, and pushed the door away without looking back. Han Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

"It seems that I'm a slow bastard in this regard."

After whispering to himself, Han Yu was silent for a while, then took out his cell phone and dialed a long-lost number...

"Well...have you received a new script recently? I have a notebook here and I want to invite you."
