He wished he could keep her in his arms all night, making her tremble.
“Eun Ji Yeon. It’s surprising and overwhelming to say the least…….”
He needed to calm down from the excitement of the kiss with Ji Yeon, which had filled his mind.
Feeling like he wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore, Kang Hyun decided to get up and do some morning exercise.
Despite spending two hours doing everything from running on the treadmill to strength training, he couldn’t clear his head. It was only after a shower with icy cold water that his mind, which had been floating, somewhat calmed down.
‘Ha, I’m like a teenage kid fallen in first love.’
Kang Hyun joked as he looked at himself in the mirror.
However, this feeling wasn’t too bad.
It was a Saturday, clearer and brighter than ever before.
The two looked at each other with a slightly embarrassed yet much softer gaze than a few days ago.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yes, I slept really well.”
When Kang Hyun asked, Ji Yeon nodded with a bright smile.
“How’s your ankle? Is it okay?”

“It seems like it might be sprained, but fortunately, it doesn’t hurt. Still, I thought it would be better to be careful, so I came wearing sneakers today.”
Ji Yeon, dressed in jeans, sneakers, and a bright printed Tshirt, exuded a refreshing vibe.
Did she look even more beautiful than yesterday because they had shared a special time together? Or was she always this beautiful?
Without realizing it, Kang Hyun found himself quietly observing Ji Yeon’s face.
“Mr. Kang Hyun?”
When Ji Yeon, blinking her big eyes, called Kang Hyun’s name, he came to his senses and started the car.
“Good thinking. Now, shall we get going?”
Kang Hyun started the car with a dazzling smile.
Both of them did not bring up yesterday’s events.
This was because Kang Hyun vaguely sensed that it was still too early for Ji Yeon’s heart to fully open.
It was special and incredibly sweet, but if he spoke about it prematurely, it might end up being seen as just a happening of a slightly drunk night. Therefore, Kang Hyun was careful with his words.
The time wasn’t yet right.
For Ji Yeon, there was still… more time needed.

“Where are we going today?”
Ji Yeon asked with an excited voice.
“Today, I was thinking of going to a botanical garden in Gapyeong. The weather is beautiful and the air is clean, so it should be good to be outdoors. If you have a better idea, let me know. We can change our destination at any time.”
“No, I like the idea of going to the botanical garden.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Next time, I’ll ask you in advance.”
Kang Hyun said with a gentle smile towards Ji Yeon.
“And there’s a really delicious restaurant nearby that I’m planning to visit as well. Do you like tofu?”
“Tofu? Yes, I do.”
“It’s a place that cooks tofu really deliciously, but I haven’t been able to go many times because I don’t have many reasons to go to Gapyeong. I’m glad that I can go with you, Ji Yeon. If you like tofu, you’ll love their dishes.”
For some reason, Ji Yeon felt slightly awkward in her conversation with Kang Hyun, but she soon realized why she felt awkward in her conversation with him.
In the three years she lived in that house, no one had asked her.
What do you like? What do you want to eat? Where do you want to go? What shall we do? Such ordinary questions.
“I have a car but I haven’t really traveled around the outskirts much. Until recently, I just went to the supermarket or department store to buy stuff. So I hardly know what is delicious or famous in Seoul or the provinces. It’s so good to be able to go out like this.”
“Then you can leave it to me in the future. You’ll probably end up visiting more restaurants than most food bloggers in six months.”
“Yes, I’ll do that. I’m counting on you, Director, I mean, Mr. Kang Hyun.”
“Well done! You’re a smart student who doesn’t forget what you’ve learned once, our Ji Yeon.”
Kang Hyun held the steering wheel with one hand and then raised his right hand to pat Ji Yeon’s head.
“Of course, Teacher Kang Hyun. I’m quite smart.”
They both laughed loudly.
“But, Mr. Kang Hyun.”
“Yes.”
“You can speak informally to me. Feel free to use casual speech. You’re older than me, and higher in rank.”
“Speaking casually…”
Kang Hyun pondered for a moment and then tied his words.
“I’ll speak informally when you definitely become my woman.”
At the words ‘my woman’, Ji Yeon’s face suddenly flushed and she was unable to respond.
“I want to speak informally to Ji Yeon quickly. I want to call her ‘Ji Yeonah’.”
Ji Yeon, while driving, turned her face towards the window so that her blushing face would not be visible to Kang Hyun and opened the window.

‘Why does this phrase sound so sexy? Why does his voice feel so wonderful?’
Ji Yeon kept taking in the cool breeze, having sudden thoughts in her head.
“Do you have a favorite genre of music, Ji Yeon?”
“I like all genres, but on a day like today, bossa nova seems nice.”
Then Kang Hyun pressed something once or twice on the playlist, and soon soft bossa nova style music flowed from the speakers.
The beautiful weather, the swaying music, and a charming man driving a fancy sports car.
For Ji Yeon, it was a perfect Saturday after a long time.
After about an hour of driving, they arrived at the arboretum, where quite a lot of people were present.
Most of them seemed like couples.
Laughing, talking, linking arms or embracing waists, among many couples, Kang Hyun and Ji Yeon walked a bit awkwardly through the arboretum.
“I like arboretums or botanical gardens. I also like parks in the city. When my mind is complicated, or when I have worries, and I visit these places, I get the feeling that they clear everything in my head. Today, because there are quite a lot of people, it’s not easy to get that feeling. But still, when I come to a place like this after being among the concrete buildings, I feel healed.”
Kang Hyun confessed.
“I haven’t been able to go often, but I think I understand what Kang Hyun is saying. I’m also feeling healed right now.”
“That’s good.”
Unaware, Ji Yeon’s memory of shopping for inlaw’s gifts at a department store with Min Woo suddenly came to mind, at Kang Hyun’s pace matching her slow walk.
Ji Yeon had to almost run to keep up with his wide stride and his always fast pace, as if he was always in a hurry.

If Ji Yeon found something and paused even for a moment to look at it, Min Woo quickly disappeared from sight.
That time when they went shopping together, but walked around like strangers.
Yet he never forgot to say, ‘Walk faster, you’re too slow.’
Was it the same when he was with Se Ah?
Having these thoughts, Ji Yeon shook her head, wondering why she was thinking such useless things.
‘Why am I remembering these annoying moments at such a good time?’
“You look like you’re either imagining something funny or thinking about something that would make you kick the blankets.”
Kang Hyun asked, having seen Ji Yeon lost in thought and then shaking her head.
“Yes, you’re right. A really ridiculous and funny thought crossed my mind for a moment. By the way, when are we going to eat? I want to stay here because it’s so nice, but in fact, I’m really hungry.”
Ji Yeon said with a somewhat pitiful expression.
“We can go whenever you want. Let’s go now.”
Kang Hyun took Ji Yeon’s hand and headed towards the car.
Even though it was a hand caught thoughtlessly, Ji Yeon didn’t particularly want to pull it out, so she followed Kang Hyun to the car while still holding his hand.
