My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 258: 258 The Ice Cream Is Okay

As the author of the most famous web novel in Korea, Soo-young had a lot of fans and she thought she deserved it as a genius writer.

She had never looked at another author and thought 'I wish I could write like him,' No, this thought has never crossed her mind.

But for once in her life she had felt envy for another author and it wasn't because his novel was better, the novel was shit, nor was it because his writing was superior, it was downright atrocious.

The thing she felt envious of was, the reader. The sole reader who reads that novel and enjoys it wholeheartedly, she was envious of that. Not that she'll admit it.

Han Soo-young walked down the sparsely crowded pathway since it was still afternoon, she was looking around in deep thought trying to think about the plot of her novel.

Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and her head moved to the right across the street in a snap.

"Was it...my imagination?" Soo-young muttered as she took a step forward.

"As If you can see that striking red hair with imagination alone," Soo-young turned around and dashed to reach across the street she turned corners and looked around.

"Did I lose him?" Soo-young was trying to search for the redhead she saw.

'Maybe it was really my imagination,' Soo-young thought and her irritation shot through the roof.

'What cliché plot is this? At first, I think I was imagining things then I ran around thinking it was real, now what am I going to collide with him as turn arou-' Soo-young's thoughts came to an end as she collided with someone while turning around and fell down on her butt.

"Are you ok?" Soo-young saw a delicate hand in front of her maybe even more delicate than her own accompanied by a soft soothing voice that seemed to erase her displeasure.

Soo-young looked up and saw the red hair she was looking for, the person was dressed in an orange hoodie and white jacket with black cargo pants. His long hair that reached his waist was tied in a ponytail. And his forehead...had no mark.

"Hello?"

Hearing the man's voice brought Soo-young back as she took his hand and stood up.

"I am fine, thank you very much, sorry for not paying attention," Soo-young spoke a bit apologetically.

"It happens," The man said.

"Are you okay?" Soo-young asked since she fell down and she was in a hurry before so it was possible the other party was hurt.

"The Ice cream is okay," The man gave her a thumbs up with a silly smile while pointing at the ice cream cone in his hand.

'I asked about you, not your ice cream,' Soo-young groaned in her mind but for some reason, his behavior didn't annoy her.

And there was another thing the man wasn't alone. There was a woman standing next to him with an ice cream cone in her hand.

The woman looked around the same age as her and as beautiful as her with long black hair and red eyes with a well-endowed figure that wasn't hidden by her baggy casual clothes.

There was an ice cream shop just beside them so it was clear the couple just walked out of it before Soo-young collided with the man.

'I intervened on a real date, didn't I?' Soo-young thought as she saw the woman was about to say something.

'It is going to curses? Or is she going to brush me off? Or is she going to slap the man by thinking he is hitting on me? Or will she think that he is two-timing? Oh, this is…..This is great, I might be able to get some inspiration from this,' Soo-young thought.

"Were you looking for someone? You were looking around quite anxiously," But Soo-young's expectations were broken to pieces since the woman asked something else entirely.

"Ah, no need to worry, I thought I spotted someone I know but it looks like I was wrong," Soo-young said with a smile and the woman dropped the matter without saying anything.

"Then I'll go, Sorry for the trouble~," Soo-young said her goodbyes quickly and walked off.

Seeing Soo-young walk away the woman turned towards the man who was eating his ice cream with a smile. If one were to look at him and a small kid inside the ice cream shop the only difference between them would be that one is a grown man.

"Haru have you met that woman before?" The woman asked, she noticed the way soo-young looked at him.

"No I haven't, anyway let's go quickly or we'll be late for the movie," Haru looked at the time and held Kanae's hand walking towards the theatre down the road.

"And whose fault do you think that is?" Kanae asked.

Haru looked away while eating his ice cream. I mean it was natural that he'd want one after he saw the shop. Yes, the only difference between him and the child was that he was a grown man.

"Alright let's go home after the movie," Kanae said while hugging Haru's hand with a smile.

"Weren't we going to that sushi place?" Haru asked in surprise, it was quite hard to book a table at that place since it was very famous.

"I am cooking dinner for us today, I won't take no for an answer," Kanae said.

"I am fine with that since your food will be better than what we eat at the restaurant anyway," Haru said with a nod.

"You and your glib tongue," Kanae looked away but hugged his arm tighter than before.

Haru didn't know what to say since he wasn't trying to flirt but was saying things truthfully.

'Well if she is happy I am happy,' Haru shrugged.

It has been a little over a year since they came to this world.

They have been living their lives normally without thinking about anything else and enjoying themselves.

This was like calm before the storm, a big storm that was going to change their lives.

Soo-young on the other hand was looking at the two walk away by peeking over the corner. She thought that maybe the girl will give the man an earful after she left but all she could see was them flirting. Soo-young didn't understand why but the scene irritated her, she wanted them to explode.

Seeing that the two were out of her sight Soo-young turned around and walked toward the parking space.

She ignored the eyes of the people who were looking at her like she was weird because her mind was preoccupied with something else.

"There was no mark on his forehead... Perhaps I should go see a doctor again," Soo-young muttered to herself, she wasn't sure why she said that but it didn't matter now.

Also…

"Where have I seen that woman before?" Soo-young muttered trying to remember Kanae for some time before giving up.

She had many things on her mind and couldn't focus on things.

She silently took out her phone and started writing lines on the notepad,

Soo-young reached the parking space and sat down in her car still writing short notes on her phone.

She went home late that day because she lost herself in writing on her phone.

***

On a Subway, Time 6:40 P.M.

Inside one of the passenger cars which had a number of people in it.

One skinny man with a thin face and pale skin, he had thin black hair and dark circles under his eyes. Currently, the man was staring intently at the screen of his phone.

So intently in fact that if someone doesn't alert him he might become a part of what he was looking at.

And someone did exactly that.

"At this rate, you'll get sucked into your smartphone," The man looked up reflexively and met a pair of obsidian eyes looking at him curiously.

"Ah Hello, Yoo Sang-Ah-ssi," The man greeted his colleague at work, the gentle and beautiful woman with back-length brown hair. She worked in the HR department and was doing well for herself.

"Going home Kim Dok-ja-ssi?" Sang-Ah sat down next to Dok-ja as the seat became vacant.

"Yes, Do you normally take subways?" Even though sitting next to Sang-ah made him a little nervous Dok-ja still asked normally. He was also curious since it was the first time he saw her on the subway.

"That…" Sang-Ah made a troubled face.

It was no secret in the company that from Personnel Manager Kang to Finance Manager Han… would be lining up to take her home after work, There were rumors that Sang-ah had men from the company driving her home every workday. She was very famous as the beauty of Mino-soft and most men had a thing for her.

'No I guess there is one man you can exclude from that list,' Dok-Ja thought but couldn't linger on it for long as Sang-ah's answer was unexpected.

"Someone stole my bike,"
