Chapter 169 – Favorite Child (9)
Weekday afternoon.
Seojun and Ai took a vacation and enjoyed a date of their own after a long time.
“Is this all Jun’s?”
The child widened his eyes.
The place where the two are currently located is a hot spring resort created by developing a site of 170,000 pyeong directly from Shinhwa Hotel and Shinhwa Tourism, affiliates of the Shinhwa Group.
As it boasts considerable quality, it is one of the landmarks that must be visited not only in Japan but also abroad if you like hot springs.
“That’s right. And today we paid the charter.”
Exactly 3 days from today.
This hot spring resort became a place just for the two of them.
I canceled my original reservation for today.
There was a backlash, but there were a lot of people who didn’t think about the original Shinhwa group, and everyone liked it because they added three times more than the original reservation fee.
Well, that doesn’t mean there weren’t people who didn’t suck at all.
Of course, Shinhwa Group’s law firm directly stepped in and calmed them down.
“Jun is the best!”
“First, let’s go to the inn and unpack.”
He led the child
The place for the two of them to stay was the Shinhwa hot spring inn, which cost 1,000,000 yen per person per night.
This was inevitable because the service, food, and facilities were all top-notch in Japan.
Security is also thorough, and high-ranking people often meet.
Well, most of them have a desire to look good in the Shinhwa group, but that is the case.
After unpacking, the two leisurely explored the hot spring area.
Since it was surrounded by mountains, the scenery and taste were very good.
In addition, people did not exist except for the staff, so the quietness gave me peace of mind.
As we walked, looking around the scenery and shops, the child stopped abruptly.
“Did you allow me to take a foot bath?”
“Then, shall we take a break for a while?”
“Good!”
With a splash-
“Huh. Warm.”
The child smiled loosely.
The foot bath, which relieves leg fatigue, gently relieved the child’s feet after walking for dozens of minutes.
Slap- slap-
“Heungheung~”
The child hummed his tune and hit his splash.
Seo-joon looked at the cute figure with a pleased expression.
‘It’s good.’
Place, atmosphere, landscape, and people.
All of that combined to create a very relaxing atmosphere.
Seojun quietly closed his eyes and enjoyed the atmosphere.
At that time,
Click-
A shutter sound was heard.
When he slowly opened his eyes, the child was pointing the camera at him.
“Lol. Did it go well?”
Tada~!
The child showed the screen to him.
There was a figure of Seo-joon like a painting.
“It was filmed well.”
“Jun’s face becomes a picture no matter what composition you take it in.”
“That’s the case too, but it’s because you filmed well.”
“Ha ha! Jun is a narcissist!”
Seojun shrugged his shoulders.
He knew perfectly well that he had a handsome face.
Because his face, which was originally handsome, received a huge buff after becoming a hunter, and now it’s almost to the point where it can be called the god of beauty.
‘That’s why he was popular with women too.’
Especially to female hunters in the same industry.
Although the problem was that he couldn’t have a proper night with a real woman.
‘Come to think of it, that seems to have eased a lot.’
It reminded me of a brief reaction in reality before.
I wondered if I could have a proper relationship now, but I wasn’t sure.
Well, I’m going to think about this story again in reality later.
“It’s good to take a picture together.”
Seo-joon, who went to her child’s side, pulled her shoulders and pressed them closely.
Then, after receiving her cell phone, I took a picture with the composition that came out the best.
“Wow. I want to use this as a background!”
“Okay.”
The child used a photo of the two of them on the spot as the background.
The previous background was a picture we took together before, but since it’s been a while, I think I wanted to change it to something new.
Anyway.
So the two chatted for a while on the spot.
Growling-
“Oh. I’m starting to get hungry.”
The child rubbed her belly and stuck out her tongue.
Seojun, who stroked her hair, got up from her seat.
“Then, shall we go back to the inn and have dinner?”
“Yeah, good!”
***
After returning to the inn, the staff asked for dinner, changed into swimsuits, and entered the hot spring.
It’s not ready right away, it’s because it takes about twenty minutes.
“Whoa. Good night.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been to a hot spring.”
The two made a sullen expression.
Since I paid the charter, I was able to enjoy it without having to look at anyone.
What greeted the two of them who returned to their room in such a tired state was a dinner full of delicacies comparable to those of Surasang.
“The preparations are complete.”
“Great job.”
The employee nodded and walked away.
Seo-joon settled down with the child.
“I will eat well!”
“Thank you for this food.”
The first thing the two picked up was tuna sashimi.
The tuna belly was in such good condition that the fat flowed from it.
After a little bit of wasabi, I dipped it in soy sauce.
“Oh, it melts in your mouth.”
“Whoaaaaa~!”
Seojun’s cooking skills are so outstanding.
However, that is only a story when it is confined to ‘home’ cooking.
Cooking that required such specialized knowledge was too labor intensive to cook at home, so I ate it only for eating out.
“Other dishes are fine too.”
“Yep!”
All of the dishes deserve a Michelin star rating.
Donjiral is also the best.
“Umm, but Jun’s cooking is more delicious.”
Ssik-
The child smiled.
Seo-joon smiled and said thank you.
When you have finished eating something like that,
Smart-
A staff member knocked on the room door.
“I brought you what you said to prepare.”
“Okay? Come in.”
“Preparation? Jun-kun, what is that?”
“I know when I see it.”
A child shaking his head.
Her doubts were soon dispelled.
“What.”
Her eyes widened.
What the clerk brought on a cart was a cake.
It’s also very bright.
“Today is the child’s birthday. So I prepared.”
This is no ordinary cake.
It was made by inviting the world-renowned ‘Strawberry Kim’ confectioner in the confectionery industry, who is called the dreamy patissier.
“Happy birthday.”
“Thank you!!”
Warak-
The child rubbed his cheek in Seo-jun’s arms.
Seojun gently rubbed his back at that cute figure.
The employee turned his head away pretending not to see the scene. Afterwards, when Seo-joon and the child fell, the staff put the candles they had prepared into the cake.
“Then I will light it.”
The candle that lit up like that.
When Seo-jun nodded, the child laughed and blew.
“Whoa!”
Then the candles on the cake went out.
A happy smile hung on her lips.
Originally, she did not know her own birthday.
It was because her mother, who couldn’t eat her back, had never bothered to take care of her birthday.
So Seo-jun made her a birthday.
Right on the day she first met him.
Of course, the child was very happy.
Birthdays belong to anniversaries, and anniversaries are very special days.
In other words, for the child, the day he met Seo-jun was very special.
“Then have a good time.”
The staff who cut the cake into bite-size pieces quickly went out.
Now it’s completely alone time.
Seojun and Ai ate the cake. It tasted very good.
“Hey, it’s a gift.”
“Gift?”
Click-
He opened the small box.
Inside was a 100-carat diamond ring.
“What?”
“Here, give me your hand.”
“Ah, yes.”
Seojun put the ring on his ring finger.
The boy who saw it looked at him with trembling eyes.
“Joo, Jun. I hope this…”
“Sorry to have kept you waiting. It’s late, but will you be my family?”
“… Ah.”
The child’s mouth fell open.
It was the first time Seo-joon had ever seen her look so surprised.
Again-
Tears ran down her cheeks.
The child stole it with her hand, and she smiled brightly.
“Huh!”
