As befits the rumored gourmet, Hyun Woo’s favorite restaurant had a good atmosphere. A subtle scent of wood wafted from the interior decorated only with cypress trees.
Besides, the taste of the food was excellent. Of course, Kwon Yool’s side view, sitting side by side, was flawless, so it may have been more so… I’m not sure.
“Try this too.”
Kwon Yool pushed a plate with sea bream towards Seo Yeon.
“Hmm. It’s nutty and delicious.”
“Since you brought the car today. Here’s some warm green tea.”
Kwon Yool cradled the cup of green tea in his hands and shifted towards Seo Yeon.
His gaze and charmingly rising corner of his lips responded only to Seo Yeon’s voice. He really wanted to ask her.
“Why did you do that last time if you were going to do this?”
As if she were a wellbehaved child, Seo Yeon swallowed a sip of the green tea that Kwon Yool offered her, calming her anxious heart for a moment.
“Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.”
With Hyun Woo leaving his seat, Kwon Yool moved even closer.
He seemed to have something to say, lightly biting and releasing his lower lip.
Then, he tightly gripped the black chopsticks and put them down completely on the plate.
“Do you, Seo Yeon, by any chance, like pop art?”
“I like it. Why?”
Seo Yeon’s lips slightly parted.
“I have tickets…”
‘Well, that’s obvious.’ Seo Yeon’s shoulders lifted slightly.
“I want to give them to you.”
Kwon Yool extended his large hand, offering a subtly glowing white envelope. Full of anticipation, Seo Yeon opened the envelope to check the name of the exhibition.
Inside the envelope were two tickets to an exhibition by a renowned British artist.
“I don’t know much about fashion, so I looked up some articles. Turns out, Seo Yeon, you are quite famous.”
Hearing that Kwon Yool had taken the time to look up articles, Seo Yeon’s confidence swiftly revived.
It felt like the days she had spent alone, consumed by thoughts of him and unable to settle down, were instantly rewarded.
“I thought it might help you make your amazing designs. Actually, I brought it to give to Hyun Woo to pass on, but I’m glad I can give it to you directly.”
Kwon Yool pushed another piece of glistening salmon, as if glazed with perilla oil, towards Seo Yeon.
Looking at it, she thought.
Does he want to go to the exhibition together?
She was unsure and wanted to ask, but just then Hyun Woo returned from the restroom.
That’s when it started. That’s when Seo Yeon’s mind started to become complicated.
Even as the blooming flowerlike dishes filled the table, she felt no thrill. She just hoped for this long dining situation to end as quickly as possible.
“President Han. Unfortunately, my home is in the opposite direction, so I’ll go ahead. Please take good care of our Yool.”
With the muchawaited departure of Hyun Woo, the two were left alone.
“Please tell me your address.”
As the car started, Kwon Yool continued the conversation, sharing his modest everyday life.
There was still a deep fondness in his still tender tone and actions.
Right. This is definitely not just my imagination.
Kwon Yool seemed to be carefully listening to Seo Yeon’s story, turning his body completely to the side to only look at the driver’s seat.
Kwon Yool’s neatly curved eyelashes cried out, ‘This is real,’ with every blink, stirring Seo Yeon’s heart.
Despite the sight of Kwon Yool’s apartment seemingly within reach, he did not utter the words that Seo Yeon had been waiting for.
Even though she hadn’t overeaten, a discomfort filled Seo Yeon’s stomach.
Unable to bear it any longer, Seo Yeon, who had slightly opened the car window, made the first move.
“Ah, that’s right. Your clothes, Mr. Yool. I have to return them. What should I do?”
“Please give them to me next time.”
As the traffic light changed, Seo Yeon’s car slowly came to a halt.
Tightly gripping the steering wheel, Seo Yeon, who anxiously watched the numbers on the green pedestrian signal decrease, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“If you give me your contact information, it would be easier to return it next time.”
It was a first. The first time Seo Yeon had asked for a man’s contact information.
