The place Seo Jun took So Yeon to was a street stall with a clean interior.

Each table had partitions installed, considering customers who drink alone.

While Seo Jun was ordering light snacks and drinks, So Yeon, her small face fully encircled by the drawstring of her hoodie, gazed up at the menu board high on the wall.

Her look was somewhat reminiscent of a meerkat.

Her youthful face and the sparkle in her large eyes, seemingly too young to be a mother, brought to mind a dreamy girl.

Yet, the way she skillfully emptied her glass filled with soju mixed with beer showed a perfect drinker.

“Ah…! This is the taste!”

“Want more?”

“Just one more. Two is just perfect for me.”

She knew how to control her drinking according to her tolerance.

Stubborn as a child, yet at times as if she understood the ways of the world like an adult. Foolishly patient, yet easily brought to tears over small matters. The more one knew So Yeon, the more intriguing and entrancing she became.

Where could such a woman have come from?

While Seo Jun, his long legs crossed and arms folded, was deeply engrossed in thoughts about So Yeon, she watched him intently and asked,

“Aren’t you drinking?”

“I have to drive. I’m your knight, after all.”

Was it the light buzz of alcohol or Seo Jun’s affectionate tone that made her ask again in a slightly cute manner,

“Do I really look as pretty as a princess?”

“…….”

Seo Jun leisurely nodded, his flawless, handsome lips curving into a sincere smile, clearly conveying his honesty. This made So Yeon’s lips begin to form a happy smile too.

“Then, when do I look the prettiest?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“So, even when I do something naughty, if I do it at my prettiest, it will seem less annoying.”

“Try being naughty now. Show me this naughty thing you’re talking about.”

“So… are you saying I look the prettiest right now?”

So Yeon asked, slightly puzzled, but this time no answer came. He just chuckled softly, one corner of his mouth lifted in a refined expression.

Too easy with the answers, had he been insincere all this time?

As So Yeon pouted, showing a disappointed expression, Seo Jun glanced at her sideways, pretending to be oblivious.

She was beautiful. So beautiful that he wanted to crush her in an embrace right there, to caress her all night, whispering how pretty she was. Of course, his view was subjective, but wasn’t her beauty publicly acknowledged by the media?

In that sense, Seo Jun burst into laughter for a moment.

“Huh… Are you still doubting my feelings?”

“Huh?”

“You’re worried my feelings for you might change?”

“I used to, but not anymore. Now, I also want to show you my heart just like you do. I’ve decided to leave the uncertain future to the future me.”

“That’s the most delightful thing I’ve heard.”

So Yeon’s bold confession filled Seo Jun’s heart with joy.

So Yeon, who always found excuses to run away, was finally showing her true feelings. It was unfamiliar but very much to Seo Jun’s liking. That’s why he felt restless just sitting there.

“Shall we go for a walk? The air outside is quite refreshing.”

“Should we? I don’t feel like going home yet.”

“Let’s go.”

Seo Jun stood up, smiling lightly, and extended his hand. So Yeon gladly took it and rose from her seat.

Exiting the street stall, Seo Jun and So Yeon strolled slowly along a tree-lined road. The streetlights, not too bright, provided just enough darkness to not worry about the gazes of passersby.

Due to their height difference, Seo Jun’s arm and So Yeon’s lower shoulder brushed against each other with each step.

And at some point, Seo Jun’s arm was naturally wrapped around So Yeon’s shoulders.

To anyone looking, they were unmistakably a couple.

Their affectionate walk was a sight to behold.

It was the wee hours of the morning, just before dawn.

Stepping gingerly into the dark hallway, So Yeon was startled.

“Oh my!”

A dark figure standing in the light of the sensor. Caught by Do Han while sneaking in like a cat burglar.

“You’re out late, huh? Out in the dewy dawn?”

“Uh, exercise! Just got back from a workout. Why are you up at the entrance?”

Dressed in a hoodie and leggings, So Yeon’s excuse seemed plausible. Do Han, after scanning her outfit, relaxed his suspicion.

“I’m heading home.”

“Why? Stay and sleep more.”

“No. Woke up from a restless sleep. Can’t go back to bed.”

“A nightmare?”

“Ugh, don’t even mention it. A ghost in white kept chasing me, insisting I marry her son. I kept running, screaming no, and the ghost kept throwing something at me.”

“What was it?”

“I don’t know. My body was covered in blue dots. No matter how much I struggled, they wouldn’t come off. Creepy.”

“Just a dream.”

“Anyway, I’m leaving.”
