In that very moment, she overheard his conversation with Fatty and realized that he truly was regretful and ashamed for that night.
He even missed their younger years together as well as the time they missed out on.
So he was serious when he apologized to her that night. On the night of her birthday, when he suggested that they go back to how things were in the past, he was being serious too.
It felt like something crashed softly into her heart, creating ripples upon ripples in her body, which had no way of calming down.
The two people around the corner didn't say anything further. Ji Yi vaguely heard the flick of a lighter as someone lit a cigarette.
She took two deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves but to no avail.
