Lee Hyunwoo found himself in a very embarrassing situation right now.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to answer the question right now. If... Wait, no way, are you asking other girls to go out with you too?”
“No, no. I swear you were the first I took for a drive. I’ve never driven with another girl. And you’re the first I’ve been in a relationship with.”
What he had said was true.
Rather than just driving for the sake of driving with the other girls, he only ever drove them around for the purpose of having sex very soon.
“Hmm...”
Lee Yu-na gave him a very suspicious once-over.
Hyeonwoo Lee shook his head.
Then, he released her hand and raised his palms as if to take an oath.
“Promise. Hyeonwoo Lee, the swearer, swears to tell only the truth from this moment forth.”
“Sorry? You don’t have to do that...”
“No. Wouldn’t it be nice for you to feel sure about this relationship of ours? I’ve heard that an entire dam can collapse if there is even a small hole. I’ll really give my all and say it. You are my first love. You are the first I took for a drive. That day was the first time in my life that I confessed. It’s true that I sometimes watch the streams of other female streamers. We also eat together when we meet. But I’ve never driven them around like we were on a date. I’ve never been to the Namsan Tower with them, nor have I ever been to Han River Park with them. Really.”
Lee Hyun-woo said this with full sincerity.
It was obvious that he was being 100% sincere.
Sure, there was a little he left unsaid, but it would be better not to reveal it right now for the good of their blooming relationship.
Because everyone had secrets.
“All right. I’ll believe you. Still... Give me just one promise. Don’t hurt me. I will do my best not to hurt you either.”
“Of course. There’s no way I could hurt my woman.”
The little fingers of the two intertwined again.
***
Cheonggyecheon at night—
Even the moonlight hid, as if out of shyness.
The streetlights along the Cheonggyecheon promenade subtly illuminated the surroundings.
Thanks to such an atmosphere, there were men and women walking around with an excited bounce in their steps.
Lee Hyun-woo and Lee Yoo-na didn’t do much once there.
They were just holding hands and walking along the Cheonggyecheon.
They talked about their tastes and what they liked.
But the time they spent together was so much fun.
For Lee Hyun-woo, it was the first time he was dating, so feelings of excitement and love were permeating throughout his ex-‘Mosol’ being.
“OMG. You haven’t watched Digimon?”
“Because that didn’t come out during my childhood. I know of the name though. When I was young, I watched things like Crayon Shin-Chan and Sugar Sugar Rune.”
“I also watched Crayon Shin-Chan. Are there any kids who didn’t watch that? But... I don’t know what Sugar Sugar Rune even is. OMG. President... Are you older than I thought?”
“Hey! Anyway, who cares about what TV shows we watched? The age difference between us isn’t that big, is it?”
Lee Hyun-woo burst into anger as if his heart had been stabbed.
When he was in the army, Lee Yu-na had still been an elementary school student...
There was bound to be a generation gap.
Still, he didn’t want to admit it.
Lee Hyeon-woo, like a normal couple, wanted to empathize with his partner and get to know what his new girlfriend had experienced and felt growing up.
He didn’t want their emotional exchanges to be blocked just because of a generation gap.
“Hmm, well... I guess so. Ah! It’s ice cream! President. Please buy me that ice cream.”
“Haven't you already eaten? Would you really like some ice cream?”
“I have a separate stomach for ice cream.”
That was true.
And it was not like he didn’t have the money to buy it.
There was no way anyone’s stomach would feel especially full after just some ice cream.
Lee Hyeon-woo, who didn’t want to come off as some sort of condescending, miserly stooge, opened up his wallet right away.
A strawberry-flavoured soft-serve ice cream and chocolate-flavoured soft-serve ice cream ended up in each of their hands soon enough.
Lee Yu-na licked her ice cream with a happy expression on her face.
Seeing how she was enjoying it so much, Lee Hyun-woo became a little curious.
‘Is the strawberry flavour better?’
“Is it that delicious?”
“Sweet things are always the best.”
“Is it? Shall we exchange a bite each then? I’m also curious about your strawberry flavour.”
Lee Hyun-woo said that and then leaned down to chomp down on Lee Yu-na’s ice cream.
At that, Lee Yu-na’s body stiffened.
“Huh? This...”
‘Indirect kiss!!’
It was a childish thing, but because she had very little dating experience and was still a virgin, these sorts of things were still very important.
“Ah... Did you not like that? Sorry.”
*Lick*
Wiping off the ice cream on his lips, she heard the words that Lee Hyun-woo had to say.
It was easy to guess what she was thinking.
But Lee Hyun-woo who had said he was sorry, watched the cute smile forming on his face which he couldn’t stand.
‘Cute. So cute. Can a person be this lovable?
My heart is beating faster and faster. Am I going crazy? Why am I like this? It hadn’t been like this until I first confessed. Could it be that since the Namsan Tower date, I have become enchanted? The day the two of us walked hand in hand that day. Since then, my heart has been acting a bit strange.’
“No, I didn’t hate it. It was just a little...”
‘I feel embarrassed.’
Lee Yu-na swallowed back her words.
She didn’t want him to realise she thought that their sharing an ice cream was an indirect kiss in her mind.
“Is that so? Then have some of mine, since I just ate yours.”
“Eh eh? No! I am fine! I hate the chocolate flavour!”
That was a big, fat lie.
For her, who believed in all things sweet-tasting, chocolate was like a pharmaceutical drug approved by the government.
She shook her head violently, not realising that she was spouting out lies.
Even that flustered figure of hers looked cute in Lee Hyun-woo’s eyes.
“Oh! President! The lights under that bridge are so pretty!”
“That’s right. Shall we take a photo over there?”
“Photo...”
At the word photo, Lee Yu-na blushed.
She muttered under her breath— ‘This is our first picture.’— which didn’t go unheard by him.
Lee Hyun-woo was happy to see that she was excited about it too.
“I have to take a great photo of us. I’ll take eight thousand shots. That way, we can choose the best among them.”
“Ahahaha. How will you take 8,000 photos? Just five quick ones will be fine?”
“I like the sound of that too.”
Holding hands, the two walked under the rainbow-coloured bridge lights.
And then he booted up his camera app and took a selfie.
*Throbbing.*
The faces of the two came closer together for the photo.
If it was the usual Hyunwoo Lee, he would have turned his head and even kissed her.
But for some reason, he couldn’t turn his head now like he had a neck brace on.
And—
*Click*
The awkward faces of the two were captured in the photo.
