"Uh-huh?" It seemed that on the other side of the line, Yoon Jane hadn't thought about that question. Therefore, when she was asked, she couldn't answer immediately. After a while, she answered, "Oh, please wait a moment..."

Through the cell phone, Rosè Jang heard Yoon Jane communicating with others in English. Because she spoke in a low voice, Rosè Jang couldn't hear clearly, but from some of the English words, she guessed that Yoon Jane was probably asking the doctor about her health condition.

After about five minutes, Yoon Jane spoke to her clearly again in Korean. "Just now, I asked my attending doctor. If things go well, I'll be back home next month on the 10th."

The 10th of next month... Today is the 25th. That is to say, in fifteen days, the real Yoon Jane will come back, while I, the pretend one, will leave... Holding the phone, Rosè Jang felt her fingers tremble.

She had thought that Yoon Jane would come back after a long time. However, she would be back much earlier than Rosè Jang had expected.

After saying that, Yoon Jane hadn't heard Rosè Jang's response, so she asked her again, "Any other questions?"

"No." Rosè Jang pulled herself back to reality and answered, "I don't have any other questions."

"The time is much earlier than expected, but don't worry. Even if you only have to work for half a month next month, I'll give you a whole month's pay." Yoon Jane thought that Rosè Jang had asked her when she was coming back because of the money. Therefore, she repeated the amount of money that she had promised her before. "After receiving the money, you can pay off your father's debts."

"Thank you." Rosè Jang paused for a while and continued, "See you!"

"See you."

...

After hanging up, Rosè Jang was fixed there with her phone in hand. All she could think of was the time Yoon Jane had told her.

At first, she had thought with that opportunity, she could approach Park Jimin. Then maybe like Cinderella, she, too, could have a midnight fantasy. She had thought that she could pretend to be Yoon Jane and do something for him that she had dreamed of many times: cook for him, wait for him to come home, get along with him harmoniously...

She hadn't realized that what she had thought was too simple and naive until she had lived in his villa and approached him as she had originally wished, since the relationship between Yoon Jane and him was so terrible that she could only stay away from him and try not to badger him.

However, things were always out of her control. No matter how well she had done, she always annoyed him... Though they had experienced a few wonderful moments... she found that she felt more unhappy when he treated her well than when he treated her mercilessly, because she wasn't the real Yoon Jane.

Yoon Jane would finally come back, and she would return to the world she had originally lived in.

She felt a little relaxed, but more depressed, because he didn't exist in her original world.

Fifteen days. After fifteen days, she would have no contact with him any longer.

Rosè Jang became a bit absent minded. After a while, she stopped all her self-destructive thoughts and slowly walked back to Park Jimin's villa.

Thinking about her own issues the whole time, she hadn't paid attention to the car parked at the entrance of the yard and went directly into the yard. When she was halfway through, the door was pushed open and the voice of the housekeeper traveled to her. "Mr. Park, goodbye."

Rosè Jang subconsciously looked up. She saw Park Jimin walking down from the front porch.

He didn't respond to the housekeeper when she said goodbye to him. He merely searched for a cigarette in the package with his head down.
