Iseul and Ro Woon finally return to the balcony with two large plates of brownies in each of their hands. They serve brownies to everyone. For some reason, Iseul realizes that Ji Hoon is no longer there. She looks around to look for the man's shadow, but she can't find him anywhere. She feels disappointed and sad when she can't see his face.
Although the interaction between them still feels so awkward and cold, she will feel fine as long as the man is in front of her and as long as she can see his handsome face. Although she also feels uncomfortable when Ji Hoon is around her, it is better for her when he is not there. At least she still had a chance to look at him silently; at least she could see his smiling face and his laughing with the others. In fact, she always wants to be next to him.
Ji Hoon is now walking alone through the lake. He is trying to refresh his chaotic mind. The man then found a wooden chair by the lake, right under a large tree. He decided to sit there, being in a place where it really felt calm and comfortable. The air was so fresh and there was no noise of any kind that could disturb him. In the past, he enjoyed this kind of place with Iseul. How he wished he had another chance to return at that time.
After a breath of fresh air, Ji Hoon decided to return. When he returned, everyone was still on the balcony chatting happily. He sighed first before approaching them. He could see that Iseul was there too.
"Kim Ji Hoon-ssi, let's talk about the style of costume you want," said Iseul, approaching Ji Hoon as she saw the man walking over them.
"Aigoo Iseul-ah, we are on vacation here. You don't need to talk about work today," Boem Suk said.
"Anniya, just this one thing. I want to resolve this matter immediately," said Iseul, looking towards Boem Suk.
"Is it okay with Ji Hoon-ssi?" ask Iseul in a formal tone.
"Alright if that's what you want," said Ji Hoon in agreement.
"Let's find a comfortable place," Iseul said, leading their steps.
Ji Hoon and Iseul went to the other side of the building. There was a big swing there and a big chair with a table next to the swing. The man sat on the swing while Iseul sat on the chair.
"What brings you here?"It's more comfortable here, " Ji Hoon told Iseul.
"We are working now. I also need a table," said Iseul, refusing. Ji Hoon is silent for a moment, looking at her, but Iseul just avoids his gaze and opens her sketchbook. The man then gave up and approached her, sitting in a chair before her.
"So, what do you like about some of these designs?" Iseul showed some of her designs to Ji Hoon. The singer took the sketchbook from her and looked at the design of the costume one by one.
"I prefer this one, but is it possible if you make a little change for me?" Ji Hoon asked Iseul.
"Sure," the woman said quickly.Ji Hoon takes a pencil from the table and draws on the part he wants.
"I want to make this part simpler, and I'm sure you can make it comfortable, right?" Ji Hoon asked while improving the design of the sketch. Iseul couldn't clearly see which part he was referring to, so she tried to get closer and look at it more closely.
"Ah arraseo, I can handle it. I just need to fix it a little," Iseul said, looking at the sketch. Shee didn't realize that their position was so close to each other that Ji Hoon could even smell her hair. He felt breathless when suddenly Iseul's head was right in front of his face.
"So, it's okay to wear this design if after I fix this part." Iseul, looking towards Ji Hoon, made their two faces so close to each other. Their eyes met and Iseul could feel her heartbeat start to clatter loudly without stopping.
"Eoh," said Ji Hoon, who didn't even open his mouth and kept looking at Iseul's big sparkling eyes. The woman froze in her position, and she was so addicted to the slanting eyes of the man before her.
"Okay then...", said Iseul, who stopped their gaze contact and immediately stood up.
"We have agreed with this design, right?" asked Iseul again. Ji Hoon had just returned to his senses. He sighed deeply and turned his gaze to the woman.
"Yes we are," Ji Hoon said in the end.
"So... we just need to know your size when we get back to Seoul, all right." I'm leaving now, " Iseul said, tidying up her sketchbook and pencils from the table and leaving Ji Hoon.
She walked quickly into the building, and when she was convinced that Ji Hoon could not see her anymore, she stopped her steps and leaned against the wall. She touched her chest and could barely breathe. She could feel the butterfly effect on her stomach.
"Aah... Nan ottoke (what should I do)?" Iseul muttered, trying to calm her heartbeat.
"Oh Iseul-ah, are you done?" asked Seok Chin, who suddenly appeared.
"Ah, ne oppa."Well, I'm going for a walk now. I need some fresh air, " said Iseul, putting her things on the table.
"Alone?"ask Seok Chin, worried.
"Yes, I need some time alone," Iseul said.
"Ah... I understand. Be careful. Call us if you need anything," suggested Seok Chin.
"Oppa, I'll be back soon..."said Iseul, who left the room and left.
His heartbeat was still irregular.He sighed deeply, trying to gain some air and remove the feeling of panting from his chest.
"Hyung, what are you doing alone here?" Si Woo approached Ji Hoon.
"I just finished my business with Iseul," Ji Hoon explained.
"Oh I understand... Can I sit here?" asked Si Woo again.
"Sure," replied Ji Hoon, "
Ji Hoon and Si Woo chatted for a long time. They have been close since the first time Ji Hoon cooperated with their company. Without them noticing, they had been chatting for hours.
"Si Woo-ah, I'm thirsty. I'll get some water to drink," said Ji Hoon, standing up and walking in.
When Ji Hoon is inside, he discovers that all the other members except Iseul are present. Ro Woon and Si Woo are chatting in the living room. Immediately, he sees Ro Woon approaching them.
"Did you see Iseul?"Ro Woon asked the other members.
Oh, Iseul?She said she wanted to go for a walk. " Seok Chin said to his boss.
"When?" Ro Woon asked again.
"About an hour ago?" said Seok Chin.
"Where did she go?" Ro Woon asked worriedly.
"I do not know," said Seok Chin. "She didn't tell me."
"Aissh... this girl, what is she doing? "She didn't even pick up her phone," Ro Woon said in frustration.
"Did something happen? She's going to be okay, right? " Ask Yoon Hee, who is also worried.
"Maybe we should look for her, it's almost dark now," Boem Suk said, and everyone agreed.
Ji Hoon, who listened to their conversation without saying anything, immediately rushed out looking for Iseul. He felt very worried about her. He didn't know where she was now, but somehow he had the feeling that the woman was in the last place he had visited before.
Ji Hoon ran as fast as he could, and when he reached his destination, he felt relieved when he saw Iseul was asleep in the wood chair while her head was leaning on the backrest. He smiled at himself and he walked towards Iseul. Ji Hoon then sat down beside her and looked at her sleeping face with a smile on his lips.
"Aigoo... how can a girl be so careless and sleep so carelessly like this?" Ji Hoon said to himself. He approached her, then lifted Iseul's head slowly and placed it on his shoulder.
"Your neck will probably hurt if you sleep like that, Iseul-ah," muttered Ji Hoon softly. He smiled again when he saw the woman's face, which looked peaceful. He then turned his face towards the lake and fell asleep beside her.
After falling asleep for over an hour, Iseul finally opened her eyes. She was shocked when she found that Ji Hoon was sleeping next to her and her head was on the man's shoulder. She raised her head and looked at Ji Hoon with a blank look.
"What are you doing here, oppa?" Iseul asked a confused Ji Hoon, who was asleep. Iseul looked at Ji Hoon's face, and there was a trajectory of a smile on her face without her noticing. She raised her hand and wanted to gently stroke the man's hair, but Iseul held back her desire.
"We shouldn't be here together," muttered Iseul softly. She then pulled her hand back and turned her face towards the sky.
"It's already dark... everyone must be worried now." Iseul said.
"Should I go back?" Iseul asked the man, who was still asleep.
"I should be right..."She knew it was better for her to come back soon so everyone wouldn't worry about her, but she didn't want to leave the man alone. She still wants to be with him. In the end, she decided to stay, staring at the calm lake while accompanying him.
After 20 minutes of falling asleep, Ji Hoon wakes up and finds Iseul, who is awake and sitting next to him staring at the lake.
"Are you awake?" Ji Hoon asked Iseul.
"I have to leave now. Everyone must be worried," Iseul said, standing up and wanting to leave.
"If you have to leave immediately, why did you accompany me and not leave earlier?" Ji Hoon asked her curiously, and half hopeful.
Iseul stopped her steps when she heard the question. Ji Hoon knew the woman had no desire to leave immediately when she woke up earlier. But in the end, Iseul ignores the man and starts walking again. Ji Hoon was silent for a while, but he decided to follow the designer in the end. Iseul was already far ahead when Ji Hoon followed her from behind.
"Where have you been, Iseul-ah?"Ro Woon, who appeared suddenly and quickly approached Iseul,
"mianhe... I fell asleep," said Iseul with an innocent smile.
"Are you insane?"The man shouted back in anger. How could the woman be so careless? What if something terrible happened because of her carelessness? Ro Woon really couldn't imagine it.
"I've been looking for you for hours. How can you sleep carelessly like that?" asks Ro Woon again, who is still angry.
"Don't shout like that, Aigoo Ro Woon-ah!"You always like to yell at me... Iseul showed her sullen face. Ro Woon sighed while observing the woman's annoyed face.
"Let's return now..."Ro Woon's order to her in the end.
"All right, director..."Iseul said, smiling and following Ro Woon's steps. The two did not realize that Ji Hoon was observing them from afar.
He is feeling very frustrated today. His feelings are like lifted and breaking down all the time. He really doesn't like that kind of feeling, but he knows he can't do anything about it.
The night was getting late. The weather felt so cold, but it could not affect the warm atmosphere between them. Everyone was gathering together and singing songs with joyful feelings. They sing their songs while enjoying a delicious barbeque.
"Andwaee!!Our Barbaqeu is running out! " Dong Hyun shouted in a far-fetched panic.
"We don't realize that we just keep eating while singing together like this," Si Woo added.
"Do we need to buy other ingredients to make barbecue again?" asks Seok Chin.
"How about we get some soju?"Jee Suk added.
"Soju?"Iseul widened her pupils in excitement after listening to that word.
"Andwae (don't) hyung ... it is not good for our health." Ji Hoon replied.
"Eeh... wae Ji Hoon-ah, everyone wants to drink. You can't spoil our mood like that. Do any of you not want to drink soju? " Boem Suk looked around. No one gave their response to deny his wish, and it made a big smile appear on Boem Suk's face.
"See?"Ji Hoon rolled his eyes as Boem Suk teased him.
Okay, so we need to buy some ingredients to bake the barbecue and a bottle of soju, right? Well, who wants to go shopping?", asks Seok Chin.
"Let me and Yoon Hee go. You know, women understand good ingredients for cooking more than men," Iseul replied, looking at Yoon Hee with a smile.
Is it just the two of you? "The market here is quite far away, and you need to buy a lot of things," Boem Suk said, worried.
"I'll drive them both," said Ji Hoon and Ro Woon at the same time. They make Boem Suk confused and he exchanges his views between Ji Hoon and Ro Woon.
"I'll go...", added Ro Woon.
"Eey... Director, why are you trying to make us look like bad employees for asking our director to go shopping?" Dong Hyun asked Ro Woon.
"That's right," added Seok Chin, "you better rest here, director, you have done a lot of things today." Ro Woon remains silent while looking at his employees and then towards Ji Hoon.
"Yeah.. I have to go because I want to make sure that these women will buy something I can eat and make sure that they don't buy too much soju," Ji Hoon said.
"Aah, I knew it, and I knew why."Boem Suk said.
"Well, I think it's better to let Ji Hoon drive the girls , director... you better stay here, we still want to chat with you," Boem Suk said to his boss.
"Well then...."Ro Woon said in the end, being forced.
Iseul stared at Ro Woon. She caught the disappointed expression in the man's eyes. She actually couldn't bear to see his disappointment, but on the other hand, her heart told her that she also wanted to go with Ji Hoon. In fact, she really felt nervous about just imagining that. That's why, in the end, she didn't say her opinion at all.
