Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 55(Tricks Up His Sleeve)

Because Jisoo had always been very easy to get along, she was liked a lot by her friends, and even Jung Haein could not compared to her popularity. After only dating for half a month, someone secretly came to tell Jisoo, “Zero dollars, yesterday night, your Haein hung out with a bunch of people. It is said that he made out with a girl.”

Jisoo was shocked. But she knew Jung Haein was eloquent and could find excuses or “proper explanations” to persuade her that he was not at fault, so she was cautious and didn’t confront him; instead she first asked around and coaxed the truth out of other people who were there.

The truth was... they really did kiss. The girl was a pretty, second-generation heiress who had long admired Jung Haein. That night they were playing truth-or-dare, but their intimacy went well beyond the requirements of the game. It was not certain whether the girl had set him up.

The next day when she broke up with him, Jung Haein tried to make her stay. He grabbed on to her and tried to prevent her from leaving; she has never seen his sullen expression before, “Zero dollars, that day I was tipsy, and we were only fooling around. I swear that I never contacted her again after that. Please don’t be so cruel, don’t tear us apart.”

Jisoo brushed off his hand and left.

She subsequently heard vague rumors that Haein was depressed for quite a while. But she didn’t believe nor respond to it.

As she predicted, after two months, Jung Haein and that pretty heiress ended up together. They were a good pair in the eyes of others.

Long after, when Jisoo’s anger had subsided, she found she was not overly heartbroken. Therefore when they saw each other in public or at dinner with friends, they would still greet each other. But it was as though Jung Haein had ingested gunpowder. He would always bring up the topic to be biting with her. Naturally she did not yield an inch, and responded in kind.

A few years passed. Finally there was news that Jung Haein had married the renowned Zhu Hanyu, not that pretty girl from university.

Jisoo’s feelings towards Jung Haein were those of a melodramatic first love. He had the intellect and looks that every man desired, yet he also had the typical bad habits of men. It was best for them to break up.

Every now and then when she was shifting through her old things, she would come across one of the love letters that Jung Haein had written for her all those years ago, and she couldn’t help but laugh. Lines like “Since you were in your first year, when I saw you at the freshman ball, I was smitten”, or “I’m deeply fond of you, and was long before you knew”, even lines such as “Would you be willing to rent a place together, live off bread, and bear hardships together to build a future together?”

Hmph, these are all just the sweet words of men. Lies and deceptions.

It was noon. The coffee house sold light meals in addition to tea, so there were a lot of people inside. Haein guided Jisoo with one hand; they found a table next to the window at the innermost end. He was even thoughtful enough to let her sit on the shady seat while he sat on the scorching seat directly facing the sunlight.

Noticing everything, Jisoo commented, “You can pass for a gentleman?”

A smile slid across Jung Haein’s face, “I have always been like that. You should have known.”

Jisoo ignored him.

After casually ordering two cups of tea, the two sat facing each other in silence.

Haein broke into a smile first, “Are you very demotivated recently?”

Jisoo wanted to scowl at him, but she held it in, replying flatly, “Still okay.”
