Although he tried to comfort himself, saying that they could spend time alone from tomorrow onwards, Kyle’s every thought was already directed towards Sehee.
After finishing work, why does the way back to the DecoNa Cruise feel so long? As time passed, Kyle found it increasingly difficult to be patient.
“Dave. Tomorrow’s preparations for the Venice hotel…”
Before Kyle could finish speaking, Dave audibly sighed heavily.
“Sir, I apologize, but it seems you’ve asked that question more than three times.”
Knowing this, even though Dave closed his mouth, he still embarrassed Kyle by revealing the exact number.
“Sir.”
Dave’s following voice was lower than usual.
“…Are you serious?”
Dave cautiously asked.
Kyle knew what he was asking but chose not to answer.
With a worried expression, Dave glanced at Kyle.
“Sir, as you may well know… I…”
“Dave.”
Kyle’s cold gaze immediately directed itself at Dave.
Sharp and cutting, Kyle’s voice left Dave unable to finish his sentence, and once again, he could do nothing but close his mouth.
Expressing his opinion had reached its limit.
Kyle’s stubbornness, already decided, couldn’t be broken.
Dave realized once again that he could no longer step forward.
But Dave’s face, unable to hide his anxiety, became even more profound.
Sehee didn’t choose to participate in the port excursion in Bari, the last port of call.
Today was the time for Sehee to wrap up everything related to the trip and Kyle quietly, as the journey would come to an end tomorrow.
Instead of the port excursion, she silently organized her belongings.
Tomorrow, this journey would come to an end.
Sehee first organized the suitcase she brought, then carefully checked each gift she received from Kyle.
She had thought they were from the representative of the sponsor, but it was Kyle.
She had received quite a lot in this short period.
At the time of receiving, she was blissfully ignorant and just thought she was lucky.
Without knowing the content, thinking it was just good luck.
A bitter laugh escaped her.
Sehee, who carefully confirmed each treasure as if handling precious items, neatly packed all the gifts back into the original box.
Then, she stacked them in the center, visible for anyone who would come in after she left, so they could easily check.
As Sehee put the box down and stood up, she bumped into something beside her.
It was the wedding dress she had placed in the middle of the room.
The wedding dress, displaying its magnificence, seemed to shine more beautifully today.
The day she wore this dress was the happiest day of her life.
There was not a single item that didn’t hold a precious memory.
Tears welled up immediately.
Wiping her wet gaze, Sehee slowly moved to the wedding photo of the two placed next to the dress.
The wedding photo, along with the one provided by the event manager, was well framed in a luxurious frame.
Therefore, it looked even more like a real wedding photo frame.
With tears in her eyes, Sehee picked up the framed photo.
She decided to take only this.
In the photo, Sehee had a brighter and happier smile than ever before.
Beside her, Kyle looked truly handsome.
The two people in the photo, looking like a beautiful and happy newlywed couple, matched so well.
With trembling hands, Sehee gently caressed Kyle’s face in the frame.
She thought she had created enough memories with him for herself.
Thinking about it brought back emotions that made her choke again.
Even though she knew such a shocking fact, she still felt like a fool for not being able to cut off her emotions for him.
In such a short time, she had apparently come to love him intensely.
Taking a slow deep breath, Sehee forced herself to let go of her emotions.
While organizing everything about the trip,
she decided to fold each of those emotions gently and bury them deep in her heart forever.
Two hours had passed since Kyle, who had finished his schedule, arrived at the private room for dinner with Sehee at François.
However, Sehee still hadn’t appeared.
Had she ever been this late?
Even when she was late because of the circus performance, it didn’t exceed thirty minutes.
So, when about thirty minutes had passed, she urged herself not to hurry.
However, when an hour had passed, she started worrying if something unexpected had happened.
But due to past incidents ruined by impatience coming to mind, she decided to wait a little longer.
And another hour passed.
Eventually, Kyle’s patience reached its limit.
Just as he was about to leave the room, Sehee walked in.
Kyle’s forehead, which had been seriously wrinkled, immediately relaxed.
“I was worried. Were you not feeling well?”
As if the two hours he waited for his own time and patience were nothing, Kyle expressed concern for Sehee’s well-being.
However, Sehee’s face was stiff.
Kyle’s heart chilled at Sehee’s expression, reminiscent of the last masquerade ball.
Thinking that Sehee seemed very tired, Kyle deliberately ignored his own feelings.
“If it was tough, you should have just rested. It would be better to go inside right away. You look like you’re about to collapse. Are you not feeling well?”
Carefully asking, Kyle approached Sehee and gently grabbed her shoulder.
Sehee’s watery eyes, looking up, were clearly shaking in Kyle’s eyes.
“Kyle… I have something to say.”
From Sehee’s shaky voice, Kyle quickly sensed an ominous atmosphere.
“…Shall we eat first for now?”
Like someone’s saying that a bad premonition rarely goes wrong, Kyle instinctively knew that the following words would be negative.
As if wanting to postpone the time even a little bit, he instinctively avoided it.
“I already ordered in advance today, so there shouldn’t be much dissatisfaction with my choice.”
As if nothing had happened, Kyle naturally returned to his seat.
“Kyle.”
Facing Sehee’s cold gaze, Kyle’s heart froze in place.
“If it’s not an urgent matter, let’s have our meal first and then…”
Sehee’s calm voice, directed at Kyle who was trying to avoid the situation, interrupted.
“It seems we won’t be able to be together.”
