A few days have passed.
Peaceful times continued. The fully ripened autumn spread everywhere. I strolled along the trail, stepping on the platane leaves, during the sunniest hours. Taean Dulle-gil was a very long path divided into several courses, and I couldn’t explore it all. Still, I got used to the path near the accommodation as I took a walk every time, and before I knew it, it became familiar.
Many things became familiar.
Even though I couldn’t go back, I always thought I would miss it.
“How did Mr. Jaeho book this accommodation?”
And this man would miss many things as well. I could see his neatly refined appearance through the media, but I found out that it wasn’t his true self. Natural laughter and comfortable everyday things, like residue that couldn’t be filtered out, would linger in the chest, tightening the breath from time to time.
“Well, I don’t know because Byunghoon made the reservation for me.”
“I see.”
The joined hands were warm.
As I contemplated extending this relationship a little more, I learned an uncomfortable truth. It was a very tricky timing, as if it were a message from the heavens, telling me not to be more greedy.
If you are the owner of this accommodation, why pretend not to know until the end?
Dajeong’s gaze dropped to the ground.
For a while, she felt a tall man inclining his head and looking at her. He was probably smiling. Folding his eyes softly while making a genuine smile.
I hoped that smile was sincere. Despite all the confusion, I hoped that Jaeho’s feelings for Yoon Dajeong were as genuine as they could be. Even if it was just a playful touch for a moment, I hoped it eventually turned into genuine affection.
It would be more miserable if I were the only one who liked it.
“Still, I’m curious why it was Taean.”
“Probably… to meet you?”
I decided to remember only the good things.
Meeting each other as if it were destiny and genuinely liking each other.
“It’s a pink story, but it seems like she’s about to give birth, so I asked the nearby residents in advance. That person was also worried.”
“That’s a grateful thing.”
Although this strange encounter was comforting, it was enough to be happy until the end.
“Is this accommodation really owned by an elderly couple? It seems too young and stylish to be built by an elderly couple.”
“The house was probably built by an architect.”
The strand of lingering attachment to my own emotions was somewhat absurd. Suddenly, I found myself wishing that Jaeho would confess everything candidly. I chuckled at the thought that it would be nice if he just spilled all the facts.
“Please tell me more about your grandfather’s birthday.”
“That’s about it. The family gathered, blew out candles, and had a meal.”
I thought I should delete all the pictures saved on the external hard drive.
Now, those fabricated appearances meant nothing to Dajeong. The warmth of the joined hands, the warmth of the touching gaze, and things like walking with synchronized strides had all accumulated in the heart.
Jaeho and Ochaewon. The picture of the handsome man and woman sitting facing each other came to mind.
After finishing the walk, on the way back, there were unusually many pebbles on the path. A small stone got into Dajeong’s shoe, pricking the sole of her foot, and she made a face. Jaeho quickly noticed and stopped to help her remove the stone.
Even though the stone came out, the mood was still sour. Autumn was indeed a dry season.
“Lately, the drama ‘I Love You of That Time’ keeps re-airing on TV. I’ve watched it several times too. Maybe it’s because Ochaewon’s drama is doing well.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. When a currently airing drama does well, other works starring the actor also benefit. Ah, you probably know better than I do.”
Jaeho laughed silently.
“Mr. Jaeho, honestly, I don’t like Ochaewon. It’s because he matches so well with you in ‘I Love You of That Time.’ I feel jealous. I hope I never see the two of you together again.”
“Oh.”
The man stopped walking.
Dajeong vaguely gazed at the horizon of the sea spreading behind the trees. She couldn’t bring herself to look directly at him. Expressing her emotions so messily was a first for her.
You’ve figured it out, right? Clumsy and disturbed, to the point of being irritating and sad, and even selfish envy.
Rather than wanting to be a villain, it was just a murky emotion that she had twisted alone.
“Do you feel jealous, Ms. Yoon Dajeong?”
The man asked.
“Yes. I think I do a little.”
Dajeong finally spoke as if resigned. There was no other way. How ridiculous would she appear?
Then the man approached suddenly and left a short kiss on her lips. Through the low, spreading laughter, a warm voice resonated.
“Don’t do that. I’ll be thrilled to death.”
“…!”
“Other than Yoon Dajeong, other women mean nothing to me. Don’t have unnecessary thoughts.”
