The fragrant coffee and the sound of the waves filled the air. Feeling calm, I opened my mouth again to apologize to Ji-seo-jun.
“I was quite sensitive.”
“No.”
“Be honest.”
“…A little?”
He asked me to be honest, and I honestly answered while glancing at Ji-seo-jun. His gesture was cute and apologetic at the same time.
“Come closer.”
I pulled Ji-seo-jun closer and playfully punched his arm. I tightly embraced his now thicker arms.
“I’m sorry.”
“You keep apologizing.”
Ji-seo-jun, who carefully set down the coffee cup, wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
“It can happen. I get sensitive too sometimes. But can I ask you for one thing?”
“What?”
Ji-seo-jun rested his head on top of mine. It felt light, almost like he was putting strength on my neck. When I turned my eyes to his long neck, visible under the moonlight, it looked strangely sensual.
Gulp.
“Are you hungry?”
“Oh, no.”
Unintentionally, it seemed like I had swallowed loudly.
“What’s the favor?”
Trying not to let him know about my mischievous thought after looking at his neck, I asked casually.
“Even if you get mad at me, don’t turn off your phone.”
“Well… I didn’t know the battery was dead. I’m sorry.”
“Check the battery more often.”
“Yeah.”
I took a sip of the now cold coffee, perfectly suited to the chilly wind. While listening to the gentle waves, I suddenly became curious.
“But, Ji-seo-jun, when did you start liking me?”
It might be a belated question, but this thought had crossed my mind quite often lately.
From Ji-seo-jun being nonchalant to becoming a sweet boyfriend and my prospective husband, many things had happened. I had discovered many new aspects of Ji-seo-jun, who I thought I knew well.
“The day I first saw you after returning to Korea.”
“What?”
Surprised by Ji-seo-jun’s words, I looked up at him.
“The moment I entered the house, seeing you there made me feel more than just happy to see you. Do you know how surprised I was?”
Why are you blushing? Cute.
Ji-seo-jun, with reddened ear tips, grabbed his own ears.
“Why? What kind of feeling?”
“I don’t know. I won’t tell you.”
Even a coy charm. Now, I was curious about the charm he didn’t possess.
“Are you really not going to tell me?”
“I’ll gradually reveal them every time you feel that you love me a lot. Each time, I’ll open up a bit more.”
Well, after marriage, with time being the only thing left, I guess we can slowly discover each other. I quickly placed the coffee cup on the ground and hugged Ji-seo-jun tightly.
“It won’t do. You have to stop being so beautiful now. What if everyone at the wedding only looks at you? I’ll be wearing the gorgeous dress, but you’ll be the one stealing the spotlight. You’re done with dieting! I’ll be the only one doing it.”
“Haha. Okay. From now on, I’ll eat chicken alone.”
That’s how we continued chatting away without realizing how time flew.
“For breakfast, it’s going to be a hearty soup.”
Having a conversation, we ended up dozing off in the car for about two hours. I woke up with my body sore from sleeping in a cramped position, and when I opened my eyes, the sun was already floating in the sky, illuminating the sea brilliantly.
The sea with the rising sun. Watching that scene, I heard the grumbling sound of a ship. Feeling like we should have some food before heading back to Seoul, I woke up the soundly sleeping Ji-seo-jun and went into a nearby pork soup restaurant.
With a shabby sign and appearance, a sliding silver metal door – there was no doubt this place was a hidden gem.
Ji-seo-jun complained that I had weird standards for finding good restaurants, but there was no other place open besides this one. Upon entering, we found the grandfather watching TV, and the grandmother welcoming guests in the kitchen.
Right in the center of the shop, a rusty stove, whose placement I couldn’t figure out, was hissing out steam from the kettle.
Was it too early? Except for a young couple, there were no other customers in the narrow shop.
“Boss, two bowls of pork soup, please.”
After ordering the food, Ji-seo-jun poured water into the cups. It wasn’t just plain water; it was a fragrant barley tea. Indeed, this place was undoubtedly a hidden gem. While savoring the barley tea with high expectations, I overheard the conversation of the couple sitting right behind us.
“Don’t ever think about leaving home again.”
“…”
“Aren’t you going to answer?”
I didn’t intend to eavesdrop on their conversation, but the conversation naturally entered my open ears, and without realizing it, I glanced at them.
High school students? Looking closely, they were fuzzy-haired youngsters. Even if they tried to act mature, they couldn’t be more than early twenties. However, no matter how I looked at them, they seemed like nothing more than high school students.
By the way, leaving home?
Memories of leaving home during high school came back to me. As expected, Ji-seo-jun must have overheard their conversation and let out a chuckle. Perhaps he was thinking the same thing.
“The girl has no fear… Don’t you even think about your parents worrying?”
