With a small sigh from Kyle, Dave just tilted his head in confusion.
Sehee, Jeongyeon, and Sungjae were enjoying a wonderful dinner course leisurely. However, Sungjae seemed unsettled by the man he had encountered earlier.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been looking odd since we came in.”
Jeongyeon noticed his unusual demeanor.
“I saw a man on the way in, familiar somehow. Ah, it’s nothing. Probably not him.”
“Why, was he that extraordinary? A man so memorable you can’t forget him after one glance?”
“Oh, come on. There are plenty of fine men out there, much better than that guy who went to Alaska.”
Sungjae squinted his eyes as he spoke.
“Opposite then? Where is he? If there’s such a man, this sister should have been informed immediately!”
Jeongyeon scanned the room loudly.
At Sungjae’s words, Sehee thought of Kyle. A man noticeable even to other men.
“Have you attended any events here?”
She pondered the possibility of meeting Kyle again.
Despite looking around, Jeongyeon couldn’t find the man Sungjae mentioned, so she changed the subject and asked Sehee.
“I attended the cocktail night once.”
Of course, she couldn’t stay till the end because of an incident…
Sehee swallowed her words.
“Ah… I skipped it since I can’t handle light alcohol,” Jeongyeon chuckled.
“On this cruise, they really prepared a variety of events and parties. Do you know about the wedding event?”
Sehee tilted her head, unfamiliar with the event.
“It’s where passengers participate in a lottery, and the winners get to have their desired wedding. Prospective brides and grooms have a real wedding, and others just do it for fun,” Sungjae added.
“Really? There’s such an event?” Sehee’s eyes sparkled.
“You get to wear a designer wedding dress, and everything related to the wedding is provided by the cruise. I participated because it’s too good to miss, even if I don’t like my partner much.”
Jeongyeon glared at Sungjae.
“Why? I told you to write someone else’s name, but you insisted on mine.”
Sungjae bristled at Jeongyeon’s disapproving gaze.
“You have to write down the applicant and their partner’s name. Sehee, would you like to apply? It would be an honor if you chose me as your partner.”
Sungjae bowed his head like a medieval nobleman.
“Sure… I’ll think about it,” Sehee smiled broadly.
“Even non-couples apply because they want to wear those astronomically priced dresses. The application box is overflowing.”
“Really? I didn’t know. I thought I looked up the information thoroughly.”
Sehee shrugged playfully.
“Unbelievable! A cruise trip without such information! Anyway, tonight…”
Jeongyeon elaborated on various parties and events on the cruise. Sungjae vigorously expressed his highly subjective opinions.
They didn’t realize how long they spent together as they enjoyed each other’s company.
After parting with them, as they were attending tonight’s event party, Sehee slowly headed to the gallery, thinking about the painting she had seen earlier.
She thought she could enjoy the painting more quietly at this late hour.
Expecting to be alone, she was surprised to find someone had arrived earlier in the gallery. It was someone Sehee knew.
“Kyle?”
She called out to him in a happy voice.
But he was so engrossed in the painting that he seemed not to hear her.
As she stepped closer, the painting he was admiring came into view.
It was the same painting that Sehee had taken a keen interest in, the one that had made her return.
She watched him, absorbed in the painting. Just standing there, he looked perfect.
Sehee took another step closer, and Kyle finally noticed her.
But his gaze, when he looked at Sehee, seemed rather dry.
“You like this painting, don’t you? I also found it really nice. It’s my first time in the gallery this evening, but I’ve been stuck here in front of this painting for quite a while.”
Sehee, excited that Kyle was interested in the painting she was fond of, didn’t notice his cold gaze and shared her thoughts about it.
“Despite being smaller and less prominently placed than the other paintings, I couldn’t just walk past it. There’s something captivating about it, right? It’s soothing, warming, and makes you feel good just by looking at it.”
She spoke with a bright smile about the painting, her expression filled with sincerity.
Feeling warmth and comfort?
As her genuine feelings reached him, the coldness in Kyle’s eyes began to soften while looking at Sehee.
“But, unlike the other works, this painting didn’t have any information about the artist.”
Sehee spoke with curiosity.
“He wasn’t a renowned painter,” Kyle’s voice was low.
“Do you know the artist?” Sehee asked.
Kyle nodded silently.
“Oh… So it was someone you knew. What kind of person were they? From the painting, they seem to be warm and kind.”
Sehee smiled brightly.
In that moment, a resonance seemed to reach Kyle’s heart.
A small ripple started spreading gently across his chest, a feeling he hadn’t experienced before. Confused, Kyle turned his gaze back to the painting, trying to hide his expression.
He had met many Koreans, but none gave him the same feeling as Sehee.
“How do you find this painting, Kyle?”
Now it was Sehee’s turn to ask.
Kyle’s deep eyes slowly turned towards her.
“I like it,” he said, his voice sounding like a gentle spring breeze to Sehee.
Even though he was talking about the painting, Sehee felt a strange flutter in her heart due to his gaze directed at her. Her cheeks quickly turned rosy.
Then, unexpectedly, Kyle threw a provocative question at her.
“So, did you enjoy your date?”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
