“I wanted to go on a prenatal trip, and there were many options, but Bali had the most luxurious resorts. However, there was no direct flight from Boston to Bali. So, since we were already in this situation, we went to Korea, got a prenatal massage there, and then came back to Bali. If you consider just the flight time, it’s over 20 hours, you know? Still, Korean Air’s first-class on the newly introduced aircraft this time was very well-equipped. There was no fatigue, and the adjustment to the time difference felt even better.”

“Yeah, I see.”

“But it’s really strange that Kim Yeonwoo and I ended up in the same resort, right? Oh, well. I can’t say it’s entirely the same. Even though they are both pool villas, our accommodation is expert grade. It’s a duplex, with two dedicated butlers, and two private pools. One is a regular pool, and the other is a jacuzzi. It’s quite different from your accommodation with just a regular pool.”

“Yoon Jiwoo. Jiwoo.”

“Yeah? Why?”

“Can we move quietly when we go?”

Yoon Jiwoo pushed away Yeonwoo’s request, pretending to agree.

“Sure. Oh, by the way. If you want to take pictures in the infinity pool, come to our room for a while. I’ll let the dedicated butler know to open the door. But I can only do it during the prenatal yoga time. Did you take a yoga class since you came to Bali? There are a few yoga studios in Ubud city, and among them, one was established by a famous yoga guru from New York…”

Let’s just give up. Yeonwoo closed her eyes, pressing her body against the window. It seemed better to listen to the annoying rain sound than Yoon Jiwoo’s noise.

The taxi, carrying the unlikely group, finally arrived at the resort after various twists and turns.

The sky, which had been pouring rain, miraculously cleared up like a lie.

As soon as they got out of the car, the four of them made shadows with their hands due to the scorching sun, as if they had made a promise.

“Ah, I’m starving. I’ll go in first.”

When Yoon Jiwoo rushed in, Cha Hanbin, who was carrying Yoon Jiwoo’s shopping bag on behalf of her, followed behind.

“Attorney Cha Hanbin. I’ll pay half the taxi fare.”

Junhwi grabbed Cha Hanbin’s shoulder and turned him around.

“What? Uh…”

“There’s no reason for me to give you a ride.”

Cha Hanbin, who had been watching Junhwi’s expressions throughout the taxi ride, smiled warmly and turned around with a completely unfazed expression.

“I’m sorry, Attorney Kwon. I don’t have any cash.”

“Nonsense.”

“Yeonwoo, can I borrow some cash?”

Cha Hanbin awkwardly turned his empty pockets with a troubled expression.

He had money to fly for more than 20 hours, but apparently, he had no money to take a taxi for 10 minutes. What a ridiculous situation. Yeonwoo and Junhwi simultaneously sighed in exasperation.

“As you can see, I don’t have a penny. Should I transfer it to your account later?”

“Fine, just don’t stand out from now on.”

Junhwi turned his head and, avoiding Cha Hanbin, put his arm around Yeonwoo’s shoulders. Cha Hanbin raised his eyebrows with a mocking expression as he looked at Yeonwoo.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
However, Junhwi’s warning not to stand out was easily ignored.

The next day, from the first schedule onward, Yeonwoo encountered Cha Hanbin and Yoon Jiwoo properly.

“Oh, Kim Yeonwoo. Are you here for a massage too?”

A spa visit for a couple’s massage. The moment they arrived and inhaled the lavender scent to calm their minds, Yoon Jiwoo’s high-toned voice intruded, disturbing Yeonwoo’s healing.

“Ah… Well, yes. I came for a massage.”

“Surprising? It’s quite expensive here. We booked the ‘With Baby Full Course,’ a program that lasts 3 hours and 30 minutes.”

“Yeah. Have a good time.”

“How many hours is yours?”

“1 hour. Enjoy your massage. Fighting!”

After giving a vague response, as they moved to another place, Yeonwoo felt Yoon Jiwoo’s gaze observing every movement she made. Yoon Jiwoo scrutinized Yeonwoo’s dress and sandals meticulously.

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, she was about to say something.

“Honey, should we just change ours to 1 hour too?”

Yoon Jiwoo was coaxing Cha Hanbin.

“Come to think of it, 3 hours and 30 minutes seem too long.”

“Honey, we reserved this so hard. It’s the program you really wanted to experience.”

“But, you know, there’s so much to do in Bali besides this. Now that we’re here, I want to enjoy other things too. It’s not like I intentionally planned it that way.”

It seemed like Cha Hanbin was grinding his molars tightly. Yeonwoo suppressed a burst of laughter.

“Hey, Yeonwoo! Kim Yeonwoo! What are you going to do after you finish? What’s your schedule? Anything good? Huh?”

Oops. Suddenly, Yoon Jiwoo called out to Yeonwoo. A spark, thought to have died out, flickered to Yeonwoo.

“Ignore her.”

Junhwi said firmly and walked ahead. Yeonwoo also followed Junhwi, pretending not to have heard Yoon Jiwoo’s shout.

Thought it would end there, but eventually, Yoon Jiwoo finished her massage in just 1 hour and followed Yeonwoo and Junhwi to the next scheduled location.

“Hey, Yoon Jiwoo. Why did you come here?”
