Among her clothes, Line chose the most comfortable one. Even so, it was a semi-formal suit. Line contemplated carefully on what to pack in her travel bag.
After putting in a change of clothes and toiletries, nothing else came to mind to bring. With the essential passport in hand, Line finished preparing for the Hawaii trip. Travel was a very unfamiliar event for Line.
Excited for the trip with her, Song Kang came to pick up Line on time.
In the midst of his fluttering heart, there was definitely something he needed to settle during this Hawaii trip. It was time to address the issue of marriage with Line.
Seeing her approach with a rolling suitcase, he quickly got out of the car and helped her move her luggage.
“Why is the suitcase so light?”
Song Kang asked as he got in the car. He was concerned that she might not have packed anything due to being bothered. Line shrugged her shoulders, not saying anything in particular.
“Whatever, it’s okay. We can buy things there.”
He thought that as long as he had Line, that was enough. Song Kang firmly held Line’s hand and pressed the accelerator a bit harder.
Arriving at the international airport, Song Kang completed the procedures with Line and boarded the plane. Everything was unfamiliar to Line, and she clung closely to Song Kang, following him step by step.
“Director, by the way, why not use Taesung Airlines and take a flight from a competitor?”
“I want to see what services other airlines provide.”
Line nodded, thinking that his words were genuine.
“It’s not that. Won’t Taesung Airlines employees recognize my face, and won’t our trip become inconvenient?”
Listening, it seemed like a reasonable statement. Thanks to Song Kang booking the seats as VVIP, they were separated into a private space where only the two of them were present.
Even so, it was an unfamiliar sight for Line. Seeing Line with an innocent face, Song Kang smiled.
After the announcement, the plane lifted its head, splitting the runway. Startled by the loud noise, Line swallowed hard, feeling tense.
Song Kang held Line’s hand. It seemed to comfort her a bit.
Only when the plane’s body leveled off did she lift her head with an excited heart to look out the window. Above the darkened ground, countless twinkling lights filled Line’s eyes. The myriad twinkles were enchanting.
“Shall we have a glass of wine?”
Song Kang ordered wine for Line, who was still nervous. The two clinked glasses. The wine had a greater effect on Line than she thought. Leaning her head against the headrest, she turned her head towards the window.
“Is there anything you want to do in Hawaii?”
Line raised her head. She had never made travel plans before. Song Kang knew well that she rarely traveled even within the country, let alone to a foreign country.
After calming down a bit, Line held a wine glass, spinning it around while enjoying the view outside the airplane. However, suddenly, the plane shook, causing the wine to spill. Line, with a bewildered expression, searched for tissues.
“Are you okay?”
Song Kang handed tissues to Line.
“Oh, it’s fine. It didn’t spill much. I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
Although Line was worried that the plane might shake again, she cautiously got up from her seat because she wanted to wash her hands.
At that moment, the emergency light came on, and the plane shook forcefully again.
“Mom!”
Line’s body swayed, and Song Kang pulled her so that she wouldn’t fall, sitting her on his lap. Startled, Line looked back at him with her eyes widened.
“We seem to have encountered turbulence. It’ll be okay soon.”
Using his arm as a seatbelt, Song Kang pulled her waist and embraced her, calming her down and extending the seatbelt to wrap around her waist.
Sitting on his thigh, Line blushed. Too embarrassed to move due to the sudden turbulence, she forgot her fear of turbulence.
“Oh, it’s fine…”
At that moment, the plane bounced, causing Line, who was sitting on Song Kang’s lap, to move up and down. Line, feeling awkward, tried to get up from his lap, but Song Kang held onto her more tightly.
Line didn’t know what to do. Finally realizing why Line was struggling, Song Kang chuckled inwardly.
“Director, is it not shaking anymore?”
“The emergency light hasn’t turned off yet.”
“Still… it’s too…”
“Before you grow restless, let’s wait while I catch a nap.”
With his firm tone, Line bit her lip and rolled her eyes. Despite her timid nature, Song Kang couldn’t help but smile at how lovable she was.
As soon as the emergency light turned off, Line tried to get up from his lap, but she couldn’t because of the seatbelt.
“How do I undo this?”
Fidgeting around, Line’s movements made Song Kang feel dizzy.
“Sigh… Inspector Jin Line, if you stay still, I’ll undo it for you.”
At his voice mixed with his breath, Line became even more tense. Song Kang pulled Line’s waist closer to him. For a moment, Line held her breath. Calmly, Song Kang undid the seatbelt.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.

“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
