Chapter 196: Solitude as he Regrets

"I can't believe it's already been a year since then..."

"You know... I actually made a bet with myself that I'd get myself a lover and you'd die a bitter old man."

"I'd die a bitter old rich man... don't forget the rich."

Kangdae chuckled and shook his head. "Ofcourse you will... but I think you found something that you're finally be able to protect....something to treasure more.. and you sir, beat me right to it."

Joo Won was drinking his iced chocolate drink. He's been trying to stay sober for the past couple of days. 

He hasn't been handling the situation quite well despite the fact that his performance at work hasn't been quite affected... except for the fact that he had filed for a leave out of a whim. He didn't want to stay in his office for too long since he had created a routine for himself:

 -work from 9-12

 -check up on Kwan during lunch

 -fetch Kwan after work
