Hye-yoon turned her head, facing the gaze trying to discern the emotions embedded in her words. In the moments when the affectionate gaze made it difficult to determine the superiority, she smiled.
“But actually… I like everything.”
And more dazzlingly than ever, she smiled. The face was so beautiful that Jiho momentarily forgot what he wanted to say. It was something like, ‘Is it as good as mine?’ He was about to say that. When the eyes trying to replace the forgotten words were affectionately responsive, her eyes also brightly sparkled.
“I hope you can go up to the clouds and occasionally come down to walk with me… That would be nice.”
His flower had to take root in the ground, and her light was more suitable for being in the sky. But Jiho could not fully agree with that sentiment. Even if the flower didn’t know, the light didn’t necessarily have to stay in the sky.
“If that doesn’t work out at all… would you come down and live together?”
“Wow…”
Hye-yoon exaggeratedly opened her mouth. Seeing her round mouth opened wide, Jiho tried to imitate her.
‘Live together…’
It was a phrase that had become familiar after hearing it a few times. Hye-yoon had even imagined these words as scenes.
The road to Mokpo was delightful. Unusually warm weather for winter and a clear road that seemed to stretch forever. Of course, that was nice, but what made Hye-yoon the happiest was the variety of foods she got to eat at the rest area.
As if she had become the richest person.
She wanted to try three things, but she didn’t have the courage to finish them all. Jiho looked fondly at her dismayed face in front of the menu. He looked intently at the characters that lingered in his eyes for a long time.
‘Udon, tonkatsu, and soft tofu stew?’
‘Wow!’
‘Haha. Let’s add one more set of lettuce wraps. It’s not enough.’
‘Not enough?’
She wondered how she could eat so much, but Jiho cleaned his plate very neatly. He felt like a hero who fulfilled her wish to eat a little bit of everything. She had only properly eaten one bowl, but he had four, boasting and puffing up his chest. It was cute, and she was sincerely grateful for his playful bragging.
But still, she couldn’t pull herself together.
She soon found herself hesitating between walnut cookies and takoyaki again. Her indecisive gaze wandered here and there. Jiho, comforting her by wrapping his arms around her shoulders, was also the one who did that.
‘Buy both. I’ll eat them too.’
‘Wow…’
Someone might think they were choosing between three buildings. Jiho smiled approvingly at her eyes full of genuine admiration.
After indulging in the rest area’s rich variety of treats and driving for a few more hours, they finally arrived in Mokpo. As they entered, the atmosphere was distinctly different from Busan. Just looking at the sparse population made it evident.
“Wow, this place… hasn’t changed at all.”
The slowed-down car smoothly traced the coastal road. When she opened the window, a salty sea breeze rushed in. Instead of a clear and blue sea, it was a deep and dark sea.
“There’s no beautiful taste here, right?”
“Huh? This is beautiful as it is. It’s just a different atmosphere.”
Jiho glanced at Hye-yoon out of the corner of his eye. The face next to him, breathing deeply and smiling brightly, was truly beautiful.
“This is the room. It’s good for spending a fun day. It’s different from the city.”
“Oh, it’s really nice.”
While Jiho was driving, Hye-yoon found out that the accommodation was a Hanok-style guesthouse. It was run by an elderly couple, and though it had been a long time, it was well-maintained.
Creak, creak. With every step, there was a charming sound of walking on a wooden floor.
“Thank you. We’ll enjoy our stay.”
Jiho bowed his head to the landlady. Only then did the things that had seemed uncertain to Hye-yoon clearly register in her eyes. She had been bothered by the landlady from the beginning. She kept glancing at the two, avoiding several times when their eyes met.
Even in Jiho’s greeting, she behaved the same way, so Hye-yoon firmly held his hand. Tight. When Jiho gently caressed the back of her hand, it seemed like the landlady finally understood.
“However…”
For the first time, the landlady looked straight at the two. The way she blurred the end of her words meant she had something to say. When Hye-yoon squeezed Jiho’s hand a little harder, he gently stroked the back of her hand.
“Yes. Please go ahead.”
At the same time, he comforted the hearts of the two women.
“No… Why are you all so beautiful? I’ve never seen such beautiful people. Even though I say I shouldn’t look at young people, I keep looking. How long have you been married?”
And the reason they couldn’t make eye contact quickly poured out. It was a speed that made the embarrassed grandmother a moment ago seem doubtful. It was probably clear that she had endured and burst out.
Hye-yoon was more bewildered than reflecting on her firm denial. It was because of the word “marriage.” The landlady’s gaze, looking at her again, made her eyes seem even bigger.
“Uh… well…”
She hesitated to answer. Elderly people might not like it if they find out they haven’t married and are traveling together.
At that moment, while caressing the back of her hand, Jiho’s voice intervened.
“It hasn’t been long.”
“Really? I thought it was your honeymoon. Just looking from a distance, love is pouring out.”
Hye-yoon sneakily turned her big eyes to the side. When their eyes met, Jiho just grinned silently. Why? Naturally, as if asking.
Jiho was nonchalant, and she was embarrassed. The landlady looked ecstatic.
“And the child? Don’t you have one yet?”
“No.”
“I see. Enjoy your honeymoon and have a baby later. How beautiful would it be? It’s lonely if you only have one. Have many.”
“I’m trying to convince my wife of that.”
Their clasped hands tightened. Really tightly. Please stop. But it seemed not to touch the other party. Or maybe it stimulated them.
“Why, does your wife want only one child?”
“Honey, is that true?”
Eyes pouring from both. Hye-yoon’s face turned red. In the short three minutes, a series of overwhelming words were pouring out one after another.
‘Marriage, child, wife… my goodness.’
Her eyes, mixed with resentment, looked up at Jiho. Then she awkwardly smiled at the landlady. That seemed to be the only answer she could give.
“Oh, being shy is pretty too!”
Now it seemed like the embarrassment of a newlywed. Fortunately.
The questions stopped, and the landlady left the room. In the room where only the two were left, a spark ignited in the eyes of the shy newlywed from a moment ago as she earnestly glared at Jiho, who was casually exploring the room again.
“Wow, there’s also a Hanok guesthouse. It’s so nice.”
“Jiho, how are you so good at acting? Where did you learn that?”
At the sharp voice stuck behind them, Jiho turned around. His face was filled with awkward emotions.
“Hye-yoon… I’m an actor, remember?”
“Ah…”
Quickly getting angry, she soon accepted it. Jiho smirked at her innocent reaction.

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
