Min-a, who stayed awake throughout the flight, immediately closed her eyes as soon as she leaned against the seat. Da-on was comfortably sleeping in her reclined seat.
“Miss Yoon, rest comfortably. It’ll take about an hour to the hotel.”
“Yes, Mr. Bomar, rest a bit too. You practically lay down throughout the flight.”
“You seem tense.”
“…A bit.”
“After being cloudy all day, the weather is very clear today. It seems like good things are waiting.”
With a faint smile, Eun-jo nodded and looked out of the car window at the exotic city passing by.
The most trendy city in the world, a traveler’s romance. But whether it’s six years ago or now, it’s the same. It doesn’t appeal to me.
Of course, I don’t worry about getting lost like back then, but when I think about the man I have to face, it feels more heartbreaking than back then.
I wonder how he’ll react.
The time they arrived at the hotel was 2 p.m.
“I’ve ordered some snacks to the room. Well, I’ll come to serve you before dinner.”
The veteran butler left Eun-jo’s family in the luxurious suite of a top-class hotel in New York.
Without showing signs of fatigue or disheveled appearance, the upright man said he was going to the hospital where Jenice was receiving treatment.
Min-a, who quickly took a shower and chose a pretty outfit from the clothes she brought, had no interest in talking about the hotel’s splendor. She was ready for Sunwoo’s imminent arrival.
“Let’s go together. Unnie needs to see the house.”
“What do I know about seeing an American house? I’ll look around with Da-on while you two check the house.”
There was no thought of interrupting Sunwoo and Min-a’s happy time meeting after a long time.
“How have you been, Da-on?”
“Hello.”
Compared to Sunwoo’s reflective demeanor, Da-on greeted cheerfully.
Worried about bringing up Jae-ha’s story again, Eun-jo hurriedly got into the car with her younger sibling couple.
As Sunwoo talked about the house in Greenwich Village while driving, he seemed a bit excited.
I understand enough. Love, a baby, and even a luxurious house. Who wouldn’t be overflowing with happiness?
“Sunwoo, it’s the first time I’ve seen you talk so much. You must be so happy.”
Sunwoo made a bewildered expression at Eun-jo’s joking remark.
“We were lucky, or rather, our Nunggeumi was lucky.”
Nunggeumi is the nickname for Min-a’s baby.
According to Jae-ha, who interpreted the dream, the nickname was derived from a poem by the poet Kim Chun-soo.
Anyway, the words “Bbunjagi” and “Nunggeumi” are the phrases Da-on hates the most these days.
As Eun-jo pressed her lips against the child’s head, Da-on leaned her head against Eun-jo’s arm.
“Puppy, let’s eat something delicious with Mom.”
Sunwoo also suggested moving together, but Eun-jo declined.
“On such a nice day? We’ll explore the streets and eat ice cream.”
How much Min-a and Sunwoo must have to say and want to embrace each other.
It’s not right away, but there is plenty of time for the family to be together in the future.
Holding Da-on’s hand and walking for about 10 minutes, Eun-jo stopped.
A large pink cupcake model caught her eye.
Just a moment ago, she was smelling the rich scent of fallen leaves, but as if by magic, a sweet fragrance filled the air.
“Mom, it’s a cake!”
Da-on grabbed Eun-jo’s hand and pulled her.
The cute signboard of the shop read ‘Love Affair.’
Reaching the entrance, Eun-jo remembered the cupcake shop that Min-a insisted on visiting.
But the child grabbed Eun-jo’s hand, and a man who happened to be coming out of the store held the door for them.
As Eun-jo opened her bag and searched for her wallet while entering, she almost screamed.
She froze in an instant.
“……!”
Though she stood facing away.
She recognized him at a glance.
Kwon Jae-ha.
He was there.
Eun-jo’s now sensitive nose was already catching his distinctive, charming, and masculine scent.
No, she might be mistaking it. This moment itself feels fake.
“…….?”
“……Mom?”
The man handed a cup of coffee to the woman beside him and smiled.
His hair, casually brushed with his hand, looked naturally tousled.
The outer appearance was different from that day six years ago. But that smile… It’s the same!
Looking at Kwon Jae-ha, who was making a charming smile at another woman, Eun-jo stepped back.
She forgot the fact that she was with her child, and all the strength seemed to drain from her body.
She only had the thought of wanting to run away, to a place where he wasn’t visible, away.
However,
“……Mister? Mr. Kyle!!”
It was Da-on, who had let go of Eun-jo’s hand halfway.
The child rushed toward him.
As fast as a dog meeting its lost owner.
“…….?”
So, Eun-jo just watched Da-on, who was now being embraced in Jae-ha’s arms.
He slowly approached.
“……Eun-jo.”
Eun-jo, without realizing it, took another step back, shaking her head horizontally.
