Dajeong was momentarily stunned, unable to continue her words.
Could it mean that he came here?
Dajeong’s gaze, with a sly smile, turned toward the distant road. Come to think of it, there seemed to be a vague glow of headlights beyond the chili field, or maybe not.
Although she thought it was unlikely, considering the man’s penchant for unpredictable actions, it might actually be true.
“Mr. Cha Junghyuk, you’re here now…”
Dajeong hadn’t finished her sentence. In the quiet rural village, once again, a loud noise, “Buuaaang!” echoed.
It was clear. Dajeong, glancing briefly at the faintly lit living room behind her, shouted softly.
“I understand. I understand, so stop it. This will wake up everyone in the neighborhood!”
Especially if Jeongae wakes up, it would be troublesome for Dajeong. It seems he enjoys seeing Dajeong in awkward situations, but it’s probably something like that.
Dajeong briskly went down under the large porch, put on her shoes, and tied her shoes. Then, crossing the yard, she glanced again at the direction of the living room and dashed out the front door.
In the past, she used to catch her daughter, who secretly dated without her parents’ knowledge, and sometimes even cut her hair, but seeing her daughter’s love affairs as inherently bad seems to be a hasty conclusion, especially considering her current situation.
Dajeong walked quickly along the moonlit wall on an unusually bright night and continued the call.
“Mr. Cha Junghyuk. Where are you now?”
『I don’t know. I followed the navigation, and it brought me to a strange open field, and then I came.』
“Tell me what you see around you.”
『I don’t see anything. It’s pitch black and… Oh, there’s a big tree in front.』
“A nut pine tree?”
『I don’t know. Anyway, it looks really scary. It feels like something might come out.』
“I understand. I’ll be there soon, so hang up.”
『Don’t hang up. I’m scared.』
It seemed too earnest to be insincere, so Dajeong smiled wryly.
“Why is a grown man scared?”
『It’s real. I hear strange sounds from the tree.』
Even as he spoke, a feeling of him looking around strongly permeated.
“Strange sounds? What kind of sounds?”
『Um… Hoo-koo?』
“Hoo-koo…?”
『I don’t know. Anyway, it keeps going, hoo-koo, like that.』
Rolling her eyes, Dajeong burst into laughter this time.
Maybe he heard an owl crying, and it looked like a Seoul guy visiting the countryside during vacation, playing around with this and that.
Without avoiding the scared man and walking briskly toward the pine tree, a rare car for the countryside caught her eye.
The car brought today was a bit flatter in appearance compared to the last bright yellow supercar. Naturally, it was more embarrassing.
Even if he drags it here, there would be no one in this rural area who recognizes it. Standing in the middle of the open field like an auto exhibition, it was a bit funny to see the headlights flickering toward the pine tree.
In any case, there was a subtle aspect of him pretending not to be that man while subtly enjoying showing off his wealth.
It seemed like he had noticed Dajeong as the driver’s side window slid down smoothly. The moment their eyes met, Dajeong paused for a moment. Then, taking the phone off her ear, she walked slowly towards the car.
When she came all the way here, she hurried her steps, but now that they were face to face, each step felt shy. As Dajeong approached the driver’s side, he leaned his elbow out of the narrow and long car window. Then, he awkwardly turned his neck and made eye contact.
“Miss, you’re beautiful. Want to ride?”
He tossed compliments like a rascal, even winking and showing off his jaw. It felt quite cringe-worthy. Feeling awkward, Dajeong bent her waist towards the driver’s seat.
Then, naturally, the hand that had extended wrapped around the back of Dajeong’s head, and they moved towards each other, their lips met briefly, and then they separated. Dajeong’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What is it? Suddenly.”
“I’m glad to see you.”
He smiled languidly and leaned his head against the seat. Dajeong couldn’t help but smile too. It was clear that a good atmosphere was not hidden.
“But what brings you here?”
“Yoo Dajeong said she wanted to see you. What can I do? I had to come.”
“Tsk, did you teleport right after saying that?”
“Didn’t you know? This car is not expensive for nothing.”
He touched the handle covered with beige leather cover as if proud, sliding his smile up at the corners of his mouth.
Hey, he subtly enjoys this.
Dajeong, a little amused, leaned her elbow on the window frame and bent her waist deeper. As the distance narrowed enough to feel each other’s breaths, their lips met once again and then parted.
His eyes sparkled deeper under the bright moonlight.
“What about Yoo Siwoo?”
“I put him to sleep.”
Nodding his head slightly, Junghyuk scanned the ambiance of the rural night with an attitude somewhat wary.
“But, mother-in-law, or rather, Yoo Siwoo’s grandmother, lives in a place like this?”
“How’s living in a place like this?”
“Well, just…”
