Su Yunjin looked at Lu Ji Han and frowned as she never noticed how he was dressed.

"You...why are you dressed like this? What's with the mask? Su Yunjin asked him as she leans a bit forward to hear an answer from him.

Lu Ji Han backed up on his chair and his hands covered his mask.

Oh god! I almost saw her chest….

Lu Ji Han quickly answered her so that she won't be suspicious of his way of dressing. If he came here without them, many will recognize him and his real identity will be revealed in front of her.

"I don't want to get sick." He said quickly.

"But it's 2022. We have created coronavirus vaccine and the disease is eliminated from the face of the earth." She said.

"It's just that I take precautions." He quietly replied and Su Yunjin just nodded. She knew his reason to cover his face very well. He was afraid of being recognized by the media and especially those people that had attacked him.

Of course, Su Yunjin had taken care of those men that had attacked him. She didn't know why she did that, it was the thing that doesn't require her to do. It was not a part of her mission. But she still did that.

They ordered their drinks and talked some more, getting to know each other. Their drinks came and they thanked the waiter.

This time instead of that female waiter, it was a male.

The waiter looked at Su Yunjin with a terrified face. Su Yunjin squinted her eyes as she looked at the waiter's terrified face. This experience was new to her. all she did was smile at that waiter.

'Is my smile that horrible in his eyes?' she thought.

"Why is he so terrified? I just… Am I that scary?" Su Yunjin looked at Lu Ji Han for the answer, but he innocently and quietly sips his black coffee in response.

Su Yunjin took a sip of the black coffee and her smiling face turned into a bitter face. But for someone else, it looked adorable and cute. And that person was Lu Ji Han.

Lu Ji Han didn't think he would see this expression once again after two years in this very café. She looked ten times more adorable than in the past, making him want to kiss her hard. But it seems that she isn't used to this taste.

[Bitter.] Su Yunjin complained to the system.

[Then don't drink.]

{Hey, I am trying to change my taste okay?}

[Yeah, Yeah, you have been doing this for the past two years. Yet you still make the same expression.]

"If you don't like it then don't drink." Lu Ji Han said as he was about to take her coffee away but Su Yunjin objected.

"I don't like it… but again I like it. I am trying to change my taste. Sometimes I don't like it but there are some moments when I carve for this black coffee. I drink a lot of them." Su Yunjin proudly said as she took another sip of the coffee.

'So, do you like it or not?'

Lu Ji Han thought but seeing her drink it with ease, made him toss that thought away. Su YUnjin felt his gaze on her again as she looked at Lu Ji Han who was drinking peacefully. He didn't seem to mind them at all. More like, he just ignores them.

Su Yunjin's heart warms up.

'He doesn't ignore me.'

Then disturbing their peaceful moment, Lu Ji Han's phone rang with a message notification. He looked at the text and frowned. He was ready to punch that stupid assistant of his.

On the other side that assistant: Sob, sob boss, you said you would come back after 3-4 days. Now, it's 15 days. The company is under your urgent need. I can't control those old shareholders anymore.

Su Yunjin noticed his frown and asked the system.

{What's going on with Lu Ji Han?}

[Host, Lu JI Han needs to return to his company. His absence is too long and something urgent came up that the company can't make a decision without him.]

{Is that so?}

[Yes host.]

Su Yunjin didn't say anything after that. Lu Ji Han put his phone in the pocket and looked at the black Su Yunjin sitting there in a daze.

"Su Li."

His attractive deep voice called her name in a sweet and gentle way. Su Yunjin turned in his direction.

When their eyes met, SuYunjin could see his hesitation and his struggle completely in his eyes.

"I had fun." Su Yunjin said with a smile on her face, showing her white pearly teeth. Lu Ji Han loved her smile the most.

He felt guilty.

"I.." he said, but he couldn't bring the topic of his departure. Su Yunjin saw the guilt in his eyes and held his hand that was on the table. Lu Ji Han looked up at her.

"It's okay. Go. It must be important. We will meet again if we are fated to meet again." Su YUnjin added and Lu Ji Han nodded her head. But her last sentence pierced his heart.

'Does this mean if they are not fated to meet then they will not meet? Then she will not contact him?'

But despite this, Lu Ji Han stood up from his seat. He had to go back to become much more successful. She is a brilliant person. The most unique woman in this world. He has to become someone that can stand by her side and can give her a lifetime of happiness.

He vowed to solve his company's crisis as soon as possible and then he will ask her to marry him.

Lu Ji Han stood up from his seat and asked a waiter to give him a pen. He pulled a tissue from the tissue box kept on the table and wrote his number on it. His eyes looked at her.

He passed the tissue to her and said, "Call me. It's my number." Lu Ji Han said and started to walk out of the café.

He never believed in fate. If fate will stop him from being together with her, then he is ready to defy fate for her.

Su Yunjin looked at his lean figure walking out of the café without even turning back and to the note, he left behind.

Unknown to her, a lone tear escaped from her eyes.
