“Boss, where are we going now?”
“For dinner. Are you very hungry?”
“No, not really.”
The sedan had already stopped in front of the restaurant building without them realizing it.
Gaeul, who had promised to have dinner with him, naturally thought that she had come for dinner with him.
Even when they entered the restaurant, she didn’t notice the lack of customers. Since it had happened before and everything seemed normal, she didn’t care much.
The scenery outside, which I love to gaze at, was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off it. I also enjoyed every course that seemed tailor-made for my taste, with foods that perfectly matched my palate.
Embarrassingly, Gaeul, who said she wasn’t very hungry, finished a satisfying meal.
One, two courses later, dessert quietly concluded the meal.
“Wow, boss. The cake here is really delicious. But why does it taste similar to what we had at SWEET & CHOKO…?”
Watching Gaeul, who seemed more satisfied than usual, Kita also smiled subtly. Although he expected this reaction, facing it directly made him feel even better.
Without knowing that the skill of the pastry chef who made the cookies she liked was behind it, Gaeul poured out sharp praises. Then, she savored the taste of the cake a bit more.
Kita, who had been looking at Gaeul affectionately, suddenly took out his phone and abruptly stood up.
“Gaeul, sorry, but I need to make a quick call.”
Gaeul responded with a bright smile.
“Yes, don’t worry about it. Take your time.”
As he left to answer the call, Gaeul, who had finished the meal with cake, sat quietly and waited for him.
However.
‘Why isn’t he coming back?’
Either the call was taking too long, or he hadn’t returned for quite a while.
Sitting quietly and waiting, Gaeul also felt something was off and tilted her head.
Should I go out to look for the boss?
That’s when it happened.
…?
While concentrating on the time spent with him and not paying much attention to her surroundings, an image suddenly appeared in front of Gaeul.
The light from the projector began to play fully on the screen, which she didn’t know when it had descended.
Why…? Is it me… and the boss?
In the video, only memories created by the two of them were flowing abundantly.
Although she thought there weren’t many pictures taken together, seeing them collected, there were quite a few.
The bewildered Gaeul also got deeply immersed in those memories.
One by one, looking at the flowing pictures, memories of that day sprouted vividly. Even looking back, there were so many beautiful memories.
At first, it was awkward and endless, but it would have been too regrettable if she hadn’t known this happiness.
While looking back at all the pictures flowing in the video, Gaeul suddenly wanted to see the face of the man she loved most, not in a photo, but in person.
She wanted to share this overwhelming emotion with him. It seemed nice to look at the pictures together in his arms, feeling his warmth.
As if reading Gaeul’s innermost thoughts, the video ended, and he, who said he would briefly leave, suddenly appeared. It was a timing like in a movie.
“Gaeul.”
“… Boss?”
The projector had turned off unnoticed.
Facing only the two of them in the dim light that shot towards them, Gaeul now felt like she knew what he was trying to do.
It wouldn’t be strange if she had noticed it earlier from the video that came out during the meal.
However, despite that, there was no way to calm the trembling heart. Perhaps, even if she had noticed earlier, Gaeul knew that her feelings wouldn’t be much different.
The tension on his face, always cool and reliable, felt somewhat awkward. It seemed like I was getting nervous for no reason.
The candlelight, resembling the lights he had arranged in the back alley of the main building, confused the view, making the mood even stranger. The heart pounded more forcefully than ever.
Thump, thump, thump…
In the seemingly frozen space, Gaeul stared blankly at him.
In the slow-flowing time, his words felt like a distant dream.
“Gaeul. In my life, there will be only one woman forever. I will cherish you like now and love you consistently. We will always be together… I want to spend the remaining time with you in a closer relationship.”
“…”
“So, Yoon Gaeul. Will you marry me?”
Until the moment he bent his knee and offered the ring in front of me.
‘Is it okay to be this happy…?’
Gaeul couldn’t say anything.
