The method of writing down predetermined amounts rather than bidding in real-time didn’t seem to sweep them up in the atmosphere.
Ju-han and Eun-su, who had written down the agreed-upon amounts in advance, slowly enjoyed various paintings, sculptures, and other furniture.
It felt like going on a gallery date.
Except for Ju-han being briefly startled and quickly withdrawing his hand when he almost unconsciously tried to hold Eun-su’s hand as it brushed past, everything went smoothly.
After about an hour had passed, the chairman’s son, who had naturally left the seat and returned, spoke.
“We have reviewed all the submitted applications. Thank you so much for actively participating. I will now announce who the items will go to.”
First, the paintings were auctioned off, and then it was the turn for the furniture.
“‘Marci Medsen’s ‘Pausa’ desk. Five people have bid on it.”
Eun-su unconsciously cast a diagonal glance. The side profile of Jang Hyeon-man, with his fists clenched, came into view.
“This desk…”
“Oh, it’s really nice!”
Eun-su shouted the same words she had about 20 minutes ago.
Ju-han, holding the steering wheel, smirked.
“Indeed, this is destiny. How can it come to us with just a million won difference? We were considering it right before writing.”
“Exactly.”
Ju-han matched the tempo with Eun-su, who was excited.
Eun-su expressed the joy of successfully winning the desk to the fullest, wearing a satisfied expression.
“All right. I can play and relax my mind now. If it had gone to someone else, especially if it had been snatched by Jang Hyeon-man, I would have been too upset to do anything.”
The thrill when the paper with the written bid was gently attached to the desk.
Eun-su’s lips once again unfolded with pride. However, something slightly bothered her.
Jang Hyeon-man’s expression after the successful bid.
He was looking at Eun-su exactly, smiling unpleasantly.
It was a facial expression that could only be described as unpleasant, somewhat eerie.
At that moment, Ju-han’s voice came from the driver’s seat.
“Although you can play and relax your mind, I don’t think you can stretch out and sleep comfortably.”
“Huh? Why?”
Before Eun-su could ask, she found the answer on her own.
“It’s not like he’s planning to prevent us from stretching our legs while sleeping.”
“Why would he do such a thing? It’s surprising to think that there is no time to sleep well. Well, something like that.”
Ju-han subtly exerted and released some force on the hand that was holding Eun-su’s hand.
The veins on the back of the hand were slightly raised, and Eun-su’s complexion became somewhat pale.
In fact, the two of them were on their way to a 1-night-2-day trip.
The plan was to enjoy a date thoroughly from right after the auction until the next day, which was their day off.
Thinking about a cafe they had visited before to take fake date photos, which wasn’t far from the villa, they added it to the itinerary.
After having dinner, they planned to go to the accommodation they had booked in advance.
“At least 6 hours.”
“Um… Okay, I think it’s possible.”
“Okay. It’s a day off, so you should get some sleep. If it were at home, I would have slept for more than 10 hours.”
“Oh, were you talking about sleeping time?”
“What else were you thinking?”
“Nothing.”
“It’s nothing…! Why are you smiling like that? Why are your eyes so wide open?”
In the midst of the banter, Ju-han’s car arrived at a cafe near where they had been before.
For a moment, they were pleased to see the familiar spacious yard, but then they were bewildered.
“No…”
There were too many people. Even though it was a weekday afternoon, it was the case. Perplexed, they parked the car in a suitable place and got out.
Finding a place to park the car wasn’t easy either.
“When did this place become so popular?”
“Exactly. Jae-rim’s words were right. Why, he recommended us to go there back then, saying it would become famous soon.”
“I didn’t expect it to be this crowded… Should we go somewhere else?”
“No.”
Eun-su unexpectedly nodded firmly.
“Now that we’re here, let’s give it a try.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Side by side, they entered the cafe courtyard.
Surprised to see that the outside seats were also fully occupied, something about the atmosphere felt strange.
“Wow. Look there.”
“Are you Ju-han and Eun-su?”
A muttering sound reached their ears.
Unconsciously, Eun-su tensed and moved a bit closer to Ju-han.
While on , they occasionally encountered people who brought up stories from the show, but those were people who knew about it from the beginning. Outside, there was almost no occasion to feel the fame gained from the broadcast.
Since both home and work were at the same place, they spent most of their time inside.
“Wow, fascinating. Can we take a picture?”
“What’s with the suit? Wow.”
Although they wanted to sit outside because of the good weather, not only were all the remaining seats taken, but it also seemed impossible to find a place to sit even if there were.
The two entered through the door.
As soon as they stood in front of the counter, they found out the reason for all this commotion.
[‘Work and Love, Love and Work’ Broadcasting Site] [Joo-han and Eun-su’s Date Spot]A fake first-anniversary photo of the two was printed on a flag the size of a forearm and placed on the counter.
The same photo was used on the couple introduction screen, and several captures from other broadcast scenes were also attached.
Even though it wasn’t a photo with much background, the characteristic painting hanging on the wall was captured, making it immediately recognizable as this place.
At first, someone who came without knowing uploaded it on social media, and someone who intentionally came after seeing that also posted it on social media. Thus, the word spread, and it became a hotspot.
“Oh my, you finally came! It’s been a while.”
The familiar owner warmly greeted them. The two awkwardly exchanged greetings.
“The store… seems to be doing even better than before.”
“Yes, your two’s influence is really significant. I hoped you’d come sometime, and you did contact us first, so glad…”
The owner suddenly closed his mouth with a surprised look.
Ju-han sensed something strange, but the owner immediately started chatting again, so he got distracted.
“Let’s go to your seats first.”
“It looks like there’s no seat…”
“Follow me this way.”
The owner confidently led the way. Ju-han followed, still confused.
