Life, Once Again!

one.
Yuna looked through the window to see what she was looking at on her phone and found out that she was looking at the photos she took with the dog.
Bitna seemed to have felt her gaze and raised her head.
When they locked eyes, she raised her phone screen and showed it to her.
It was a wordless request.
This was the first time she ever made an expression like that as well.

“Uhm, Maru-seonbae.”

“Yeah?”

“About Woofie.”

“Woofie?”

“Can we take her home for just one day? Bitna seems to like her a lot.
She always wanted to raise a dog, but mom was really strict when it came to pets.
She always asked Bitna if she could take responsibility for it.
She thinks deeply, so she always gave up knowing that mom asking such a question meant no.”

She probably held and petted a dog for the first time today.
She was busy since she was little, so she didn’t have any time to go to pet shops either, and even when they did come across pet shops in department stores, she would only look at the dogs from afar.
Bitna was the type to restrain herself so that she wouldn’t even feel disappointed when it came to things that she couldn’t have.

“Wait a bit.”

Maru went back to the apartment.
Yuna told Bitna that she would get a surprise gift if she waited for a little.
The girl who only smiled a little when receiving a doll as a birthday present grinned so brightly that her teeth could be seen.
A while later, Maru came back with a blue dog cage and a paper bag.

“This is the dog bowl and some food.
She has a good appetite, but she strangely won’t eat out of anything else but this one.
I put a week’s worth of food in it.”

“I’ll give her back to you tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to.
This girl seems to have taken a liking to Bitna as well.
I’m sure she must like it better staying next to Bitna who dotes on her than a gloomy guy like me.
If it’s just a week, your mother won’t say much about it as well.
She’s usually docile even by herself, so you don’t have to worry about your furniture.
Though, I can’t guarantee for sure what she might do after a change of environment.”

Maru opened the door and put the cage right next to Bitna.
Bitna lowered herself and locked eyes with the dog.
Yuna couldn’t believe that she liked the dog so much.

“Looks like we’ll have to talk to mom about this seriously.
I’ll ask her if we can have two more members of the household because we can handle it.”

“If she ever does give you permission, then just tell me about it.
I know someone who’s more than willing to have more people join as dog owners.”

“Does that person run a pet shop or something?”

“No, I’m talking about the president of my agency.”

President? Yuna blinked for a bit before getting in the car.
Bitna had already taken the dog out of the cage and was playing around with her.
The dog stayed on top of Yuna’s lap without barking.
It seemed as though she knew that she had to stay still right now.

“She’s a quick-witted one,” Maru said while looking at the dog.

Yuna put on her seatbelt.
She felt complex.
She wondered if she had to tell their mother, or if she should just watch the situation for now.
It was probably going to be Bitna who would decide that.

After the car departed, Yuna took out her phone and looked up Kang Giwoo.
She even found his Instagram account and looked at his photos.
Every single day, he uploaded photos he took with other actors, drama crews, and friends.
He always had a big smile on his face.
Even the comment section was clean.
He was the definition of a star liked by everyone.

The moment she saw a photo of him praying while grabbing the hand of a leukemia patient, Yuna felt enraged.
All of that was just for show and was fake.
She despised people who smiled when in front and disdained people behind their backs.
They were the kind of people she didn’t even want to associate herself with.
She remembered saying that he was good at acting and had a good personality while watching Doctor’s Office too.

Yuna logged into her Instagram account and left behind a comment.

-People should live honestly.

She wanted to leave behind a barrage of insults, but she moderated herself.
Not that he would ever see it.
This comment she left behind would also probably get buried under the myriad of comments being added in real-time.
She felt frustrated that the layers of the ‘good’ image that Kang Giwoo built up would protect him.
She felt her admiration towards the industry and actors cooling down.

“There are 99 good people and only one bad person.
You don’t have to feel so upset because of that one person,” Maru said while giving her a glance.

“I know.
I do know about it, but I still think he went too far.
There must be many people who aspire to be actors with him as a role model.
Many of my peers think of him as a young, talented actor too.
I wonder how disappointed they would be if they found out the truth about him.”

“You can’t do anything about it.”

“What if he keeps doing well like this? We don’t know what he’ll do behind everyone’s backs if he keeps up a good façade.”

“We don’t have anything we can do right now other than watching ourselves and avoiding him.
It’s not like the media will do anything about it even if we expose him.
The past is in the past, and there is no evidence either.”

When they got stopped by a traffic light.
Yuna wrote down some words on her phone so that Bitna wouldn’t be able to see them and showed them to Maru.

-You don’t think that Kang Giwoo may have noticed Bitna overhearing him, right?

He nodded without a shred of hesitation.
It made her relieved to see that he felt so confident.

“He’s the type of guy who would never let that be if he found out,” he said while narrowing his eyes.

He seemed to understand what Kang Giwoo was thinking better than anyone else.

KTLChamber's Thoughts

Fun fact, as you'll probably read next chapter, I skipped translating this chapter and translated the next one first.
It just flowed so well that I didn't realize what was wrong until it was time to upload the chapter…

But man.
What do people think about Bitna? Many people seemed to believe that she had gone back in time herself.
Some people even seem to think that she's Haejoo's incarnate.
Do you still think that way? Personally, I don't think she went back in time, at least not anymore after reading her reaction to Woofie in this chapter.

Editor's Note:
I wonder if this means we won't have mentions of Woofie in the future.
Anyways, this feels like a huge build up to a major event.
