Chapter 185

Kwon Jihan and Yoon Seo were waiting for Park Juhong at the café inside the National Cemetery. Park Juhong arrived 30 minutes later, smiling apologetically.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's fine. I forgot that neither you nor Domin would ever cut in line, you two softies."

"Haha… I'm not exactly soft."

"Softie?"

When Kwon Jihan asked, Yoon Seo explained.

"When Domin was all about promoting 'Love in Han River', this guy actually sat through three whole episodes of that boring show. Sometimes, we'd call him 'Softie Park' among ourselves."

"That's impressive. If it wasn't for my interest in my hyung, I would've given up after the first episode."

"Don't tease me, both of you. But Yoon Seo, you still speak formally?"

When Park Juhong first met Kwon Jihan, he had been surprised by their unusual dynamic, where the younger one used informal speech, while the older one stuck to formal language.

"It's just more comfortable."

Yoon Seo replied casually, but Kwon Jihan responded seriously.

"I'm honestly glad hyung uses formal speech as his default. If he spoke informally in a public place like this, I'd feel really flustered. Sometimes, when he talks informally, it's insanely sexy."

"Oh, I see…"

Park Juhong awkwardly smiled, probably regretting bringing it up.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them began chatting about 'Love in Han River'.

Currently, the show was experiencing a sudden resurgence in popularity on Earth. The reason was simple: its storyline bore an uncanny resemblance to the present situation on Earth.

'Love in Han River', a web drama that aired before the Great Cataclysm, had a bizarre plot. It began with a competition to find the best kimchi stew restaurant, but it ended with a twist revealing that the contest was actually a tutorial to select a pioneer for the new kimchi stew universe. This strange conclusion was similar to Earth's current circumstances. Even the fact that the main couple in the drama becomes pioneers traveling to space mirrored reality, where the first humans to venture outside the solar system were also a couple.

Once this was realized, the government, international agencies, and the Hunters' Association all began searching for the producer of 'Love in Han River'.

The outsourcing company that produced the show said they received the script via email and had never met the writer in person. The cast shared the same experience. They assumed the drama was a pet project of a chaebol heir, given how much the writer funded its production.

When they tracked the account where the production funds came from, they found it belonged to a 63-year-old woman who had been declared dead during the Great Cataclysm. She had no family and had grown up in an orphanage, with substantial debts. There were four loans under her name, but all had been paid off in one lump sum the day she hired the outsourcing company to produce the drama.

"The 'writer' must've asked Choi Sooja to lend them her identity in exchange for paying off her debts!"

Park Juhong exclaimed excitedly.

"I heard that Kwon Jihan and Seo Chaeyoon are searching for the 'writer'. They say the long vacation they're taking for their honeymoon is really just an excuse to find the 'writer'. If that rumor is true, it's only a matter of time before the 'writer's' identity is revealed. I'm so curious about who it could be!"

Park Juhong, unaware that the two people sitting right in front of him were Kwon Jihan and Seo Chaeyoon, was brimming with excitement, confident that no matter how well-hidden the 'writer' was, they would find them.

In reality, Kwon Jihan and Yoon Seo weren't just looking for the 'writer'—they already knew exactly who they were.
