Thanks for your patience! Here’s the translation:
Thanks to meticulous packaging that spared no effort in preserving the limited edition dark black figure, the last flawless appearance was retained inside the box.
Dohoon’s eyes, staring silently at the contents of the box, swayed with a faint sense of loss. Along with the yearning or resignation, perhaps even complicated emotions of regret, a shadow cast over his face.
For a brief moment, as the complexion grew heavier, his gaze, which had pretended to be indifferent, turned towards Dajeong. This was because it was profoundly puzzling that this item had been delivered through her.
“How did Dajeong end up with this, anyway?”
“Well, I don’t know why Soo-kyung asked me to take care of this. She just said it’s something she couldn’t handle.”
Dajeong shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t know what significance this seemingly trivial item held for the two people.
Perhaps it took a long time for her to sort out her feelings toward her senior. Rather than saying that, Dajeong chose to gently smile.
Instead of saying those words, Dajeong hoped that he would recall the special moments he shared with Soo-kyung through her.
Turning his attention back to the box, Dohoon chuckled wryly. The fact that human emotions could be so cunning and complex seemed amusing.
The emotions Dajeong once felt for her senior disappeared like an illusion. Now, only faint footsteps of someone else filled the void left behind, resonating in her heart in a poignant manner.
Despite experiencing the enormity of the absence of someone who had always been by her side, even through Dajeong’s eyes, she ended up missing Soo-kyung again.
Did he love her?
Well, when the weather was good, thoughts of that person crossed his mind. When he heard the joyful laughter of people, her smiling face naturally came to mind.
If love was something that didn’t make you suffer as if you were about to die, he was probably still in love with Soo-kyung.
A mischievous smile played on Dohoon’s lips.
Crazy. Just thinking about it made him smile like this. What more could he deny about a subject that couldn’t help but make him smile with just his thoughts?
With a resignation almost like resigning from resignation, Dohoon took a deep breath and spoke.
“How about you, Dajeong? Are you still happy with that person?”
Even though the intention was evident to change the subject, Dajeong gladly smiled even more brightly.
“Yes, senior. I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy as I am now, since the day I was born.”
Maybe I’ve ruined everything.
Having returned to her room after an early dinner, Dajeong suddenly remembered something and rushed to the dressing table.
She pulled out a small velvet-textured box from the drawer, and when she opened it, the dazzling brilliance of diamonds inevitably spread in all directions.
Dajeong gazed at the ring with a face full of intricate thoughts.
Because of the wind that day, when Jung-hyuk left the hotel without picking it up, there was no choice but for her to take it with her.
However, it wasn’t easy to readily decide to return it. Having already rejected the proposal, was there a need to go out of one’s way to return the engagement ring now? It was a task akin to hitting the same bruised spot twice.
“What are you doing in the room?”
Lost in contemplation, Jeong-ae entered the room. Dajeong quickly closed the ring case and slid it into the drawer.
“Mom, why? What are you looking for?”
Seeing Jeong-ae searching here and there, Dajeong asked. Then Jeong-ae earnestly inquired.
“Do we have any leftover yarn at home?”
“Leftover yarn??”
“Not for anything else, but grandma said she doesn’t want to do anything for our dog and wants to make something warm.”
Only now did Dajeong understand Jeong-ae’s intention and chuckled like a complaint.
Ever since Jeong-ae saw Dajeong hiding Siu’s Christmas present in the utility room earlier in the day, she seemed strangely restless.
While everyone was preparing gifts for their grandchildren or children for Christmas, Jeong-ae, being a grandmother for the first time, seemed troubled by the fact that she hadn’t prepared anything.
Dajeong recalled things like cardigans and scarves she used to wear when she was young. Design-wise, they might be a bit old-fashioned, but Jeong-ae’s knitting skills were quite impressive.
“Come to think of it, I bought a scarf for Siu last year to give him for Christmas. Where is it? Just a moment, let me check.”
Entering the dressing room, Dajeong began searching through the drawers. In the meantime, Jeong-ae spoke hesitantly.
“You just need to celebrate once for a birthday. These days, they say it’s burdensome to raise kids for Western holidays like Christmas and whatnot.”
“What, is it just Christmas? They’re busy with Halloween and other Western holidays now. Oh? Found it.”
Dajeong, who found a small box in the drawer, smiled brightly.
The twinkling miniature lights adorning the Christmas tree flashed in a cheerful rhythm.
