20 I liked the tingly feeling when I kissed you

Tae Il doesn't like what he feels. He doesn't want to accept what he is feeling. He sits down on the floor and clasps his own hair.

The weather is too hot these days.

Why would a thirty-year-old prosecutor believe in true love nonsense? If she only keeps her belief to herself, that is okay. She is even teaching strange things to a person who recently woke up with no memories.

Why is he having strange thoughts about Nam Ji Won?

When she woke up, she didn't recognize him. He is upset. He is also afraid. He doesn't know how to see her. To the world, he lies that he is her boyfriend. He doesn't want to lie to her. He doesn't want to take advantage of her. So, he has been avoiding her.

She appears before him and kisses him on her own accord. Seo Tae Il punches his chest. He should calm down and breathe. He takes deep breaths. He should look for her before she causes more trouble.

He finds her chatting with Yun Sun Hee and Son Jong Pil. Yun Sun Hee is blushing. She keeps looking at her hands nervously while Nam Ji Won laughs heartily. This scene makes him sigh deeper.

Whether she has memories or not, she is good at flirting. Even a person like Yun Sun Hee isn't unaffected by someone like her. He walks to them and taps Ji Won's shoulder. She turns around. Her warm expression turns sour when she saw him.

"Let's go. I will drop you at the hospital."

"Hospital?" Yun Sun Hee grabs Ji Won's hand. "Unni, are you sick?"

Seo Tae Il pulls Nam Ji Won's hands. "Let's go."

"No." She jerks off his hand. "I will go with Oppa."

"Oppa?" He finds Son Jong Pil smiling. This woman really doesn't remember anything. It is too dangerous to leave her alone with these people. "He isn't your Oppa."

"Leo, are you jealous because she is calling me Oppa?" Son Jong Pil teases him. "Don't worry. I love myself the most. The second person I love most is my Na Young."

"Unni, please take my phone number." Yun Sun Hee gives a slip of paper to Nam Ji Won. "Please call me when you get a phone."

Seo Tae Il grabs the paper from Nam Ji Won's hand and throws it away.

"Hey!" Nam Ji Won frowns. "Why are you grumpy?"

"Don't flirt with other women or men so carelessly." He speaks slowly. "Don't trust random words from insane people blindly. Just come with me right now."

"Why should I believe your words?" Nam Ji Won folds her arms. "What are the chances that you aren't insane?"

This person is impossible. He gives up and drags her away from that place again. Nam Ji Won doesn't resist. She waves goodbyes to Son Jong Pil and Yun Sun Hee. When they get into the car, she ignores him and looks out of the window.

"There is no such thing as true love." Seo Tae Il feels more tired. It is like he was explaining that Santa Claus was not real to a five-year-old. "Curses and kisses only exist in books and movies. If it was that easy to cure memory loss or wake up people from five years of the comatose state, we would not have so many people in the hospital now."

"It was worth a try. I also wanted to know how it felt to kiss you."

Seo Tae Il presses the breaks. His heart is beating furiously. He shakes his head as if he is trying to shake off something else.

"You don't remember me. I am supposed to be a stranger to you." He feels mad. "Should you kiss someone who is a stranger to you?"

"Everyone is stranger to me." She looks at his lips solemnly. "But I am not a stranger to everyone. You know me. My family and friends know me. Besides, I heard about you from my sister and Son Jong Pil. I feel that you are an interesting person. So, I came to see you. You look more handsome in person."

Too straightforward for him to accept.

"Don't speak like that." He restarts the car. "You shouldn't be too honest."

"I am not honest completely." She sighs. "I wanted to confirm something. It doesn't matter. But I liked the tingly feeling when I kissed you."

He stops the car again. He shouldn't be driving at this state with this crazy woman who spoke without any hesitation.

"It seems..." Nam Ji Won sighs again. "Why are you not driving?"

Tae Il looks away. He is the only one who is embarrassed. This person took advantage of him.

"You called me a pervert once." He glares at her. "Who is the pervert today?"

"I wonder." She glares back at him. "I kissed you nine times, but you didn't kiss me back once. You kiss women on the drama all the time, but you can't kiss your girlfriend once."

She even counts it. Nine times!

Tae Il is fuming when he hears her words. She has taken advantage of him nine times.

"It doesn't matter anymore." She looks annoyed and sad. "Just drop me at the hospital."

Patience!

He feels like spending each second with this person is test patience for him. His phone keeps ringing. He sends a text to the assistant director and hopes that he wouldn't get scolded after...

Where did this person go?

There is a long queue behind him, honking and yelling him to move. Nam Ji Won doesn't pay attention to the angry people. She is walking straight to the mall.

Tae Il is speechless. He parks the car near the mall, ignoring the angry crowd behind him. He rushes out of the car and runs to catch up with her. Frustrated, he curses silently. He isn't wearing any disguise. He didn't even have sunglasses. If someone recognizes him now, he would be in trouble. He runs faster to catch up to her.

"You!" He finds her near an ice cream shop. "Why did you get out of the car like that?"

She ignores him. She is looking at the ice cream flavours. "Do you have honey flavour?"

"Just pack the honey flavoured ice cream." Tae Il pays for the ice cream. "Do it fast.

"If you wanted ice cream, you should have told me earlier."

He picks up the packet.

"Is that your upcoming movie? I see your face there." She asks while pointing at a poster.

"Isn't that him?"

"Leo!"

"It's really him."

"I love you, Leo!"

"Please, can I have your autograph?"

"A selfie, please?"

"I love your songs."

The crowd surrounds Seo Tae Il. He smiles at them, politely asking to let him leave. But the more he asks, the denser the crowd is. He can't move an inch. Suddenly, someone grabs his hand and pulls him out of the crowd.

"I guess, I am quite possessive." Nam Ji Won's voice is cold. Her cold eyes freeze the crowd at the spot.

"Who is this scary person?" Someone whispers.

She ignores the person and takes the ice cream packet from Tae Il's hand.

"...of my ice cream." She adds. She pushes him toward the crowd.

"There, you can have him now. I am leaving."

"You ungrateful punk!" Tae Il pulls her by the collar of her coat. "I am the one who brought you this. You are abandoning me like this."

"You want to leave then?" She peers into his eyes.

"Of course, I do." Tae Il feels that his life is getting shorter because of this person.

She seizes his hand and runs.
