The next seven hours of the flight remained uneventful, and it was time to land in Athens, Greece. Even though it was already 11 pm by the time she landed, Sooyun couldn't help but be excited about her upcoming trip. After another two hours of clearing the custom and getting her baggage, Sooyun finally steps outside the airport.
Sooyun does quick stretches and takes a deep breath. After relaxing, she thinks, "Even though I started the day on the wrong foot (aka meeting Minjoon), I am sure the rest of my trip would be perfect. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him after exiting the plane. Perhaps he has another connecting flight?? I should be glad, but why does my heart feel a little empty? (Sooyun covers her heart with her hand) I wished not to see him again, didn't I? Sooyun-aa, don't forget the promise you made to yourself. Minjoon made it clear years ago that there was no future. Park Sooyun, you can do it!"
After wrapping what happened today in her mind, Sooyun is ready to head to the hotel and get a nice sleep before exploring the Acropolis the next day. She decided to hail a taxi to the hotel, which will take around 30 minutes from the airport.
The hotel Sooyun chose to stay in is one of the small hotels with a beautiful seaside view. As Sooyun steps into the hotel, a friendly worker greets her and guides her to the check-in desk. In just five minutes, Sooyun is ready to head up to her room. The room that she is assigned is 346. Just as she enters the elevator and pushes the button to close the door, a hand stops the door from closing. As the elevator door opens back up, Sooyun sees Minjon standing in front of her.
"Why are you here?" asks Sooyun, to which Minjoon responds, "Ohh, what a coincidence. I am also staying at this hotel." Minjoon enters the elevator with his luggage and asks, "Which floor?" Sooyun responds, "Third floor."
When the elevator reaches the third floor, Sooyun gets ready to head out, but she also notices Minjoon stopping on the third floor too. Thinking that Minjoon will probably stay away from her, she gets in front of him and starts walking to her room. However, as she gets ready to swipe in her room card, she sees Minjoon opening the room next to hers, room 345.
While swiping the card to his room, Minjoon looks at her and says, "When there are so many coincidences in life, do you consider it FATE?" Instead of entering the room, Minjoon decides to walk up to her. With each of his steps, Sooyun steps back until her back is against the door. Minjoon leans over Sooyun's body and puts his right arm against the door. He slowly gets close to her ears, and at this point, Sooyun can clearly smell his unique smell. She is unsure whether it's his perfume or natural smell. While she is intoxicated with his smell, the soft touch on her ear brings her back to reality.
Minjoon gently brushes his lips to her earlobe and says, "I believe that this is fate. Park Sooyun, no matter how hard you deny it, fate will bring us together no matter what. My FIANCEE, you can never run away from me."
Sooyun gets shocked by his remark. She can't help but ask, "fiancee, how did you know that?"
At this point, Sooyun is really confused by what is happening. First of all, Minjoon's question about fate and also fiancee? Sooyun clearly remembers that when she broke off the engagement with his family, she requested his grandmother never to let him know about the previous engagement. But how come Minjoon knows about it.
