The cold air outside the car window was kept out, and the warmth inside the car made Bae Juhyun take off her cumbersome coat, revealing her perfect body curves.
Even though she was in the very familiar Seoul, she still curiously observed the street view outside the window.
For most Seoul residents, today was just another ordinary Friday, but if there was anything special about today...
Perhaps today was the last working day, and the next two days were rest days?
Liu Xin'an had never been a nine-to-five, weekend-off office worker, and similarly, Bae Juhyun had never had a job. After graduation, she trained for a while and went to be an entertainer, so Friday held no special meaning for them.
But December 9th had a very special meaning... for both of them.
Since he was out on a date with Bae Juhyun, as a boyfriend, Liu Xin'an definitely had to meet all of his girlfriend's requests as much as possible.
So in terms of lunch choices, Liu Xin'an chose Bae Juhyun's favorite and most accustomed Korean cuisine.
There were many shops nearby that he had recommended, and they were indeed very famous public figures nowadays. However, most Seoul people had seen stars and entertainers, and there were more prominent public figures than them.
So when the currently trending couple appeared in the shop, the friendly shop owner was only surprised by Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an's looks, then excitedly grabbed Bae Juhyun, asking her if she was the particularly beautiful one seen on TV.
"Ne~"
"Aigoo aigoo, you really are beautiful. Let's take a photo together!"
"Ne~"
Such a small request, Bae Juhyun naturally wouldn't refuse.
Soon, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun stood on either side of the shop owner lady, their faces beaming with bright smiles.
There were some gains from cooperating with the shop owner. Upon learning that Bae Juhyun loved eating spicy rice cakes, the shop owner generously gave them a serving of spicy rice cakes, which made Bae Juhyun extremely happy, sweetly thanking the lady nonstop.
But after sending off the shop owner, Bae Juhyun became conflicted.
The bright red rice cakes looked extremely tempting, but... she was just taking a simple day off today.
Tomorrow she still had to rush back to work at the company!
Bae Juhyun was very self-disciplined, and before her comeback, she strictly controlled her diet. During the comeback period, she wouldn't eat such heavily spicy and oily food.
But the shop owner's kindness was there...
"I'll take two bites, you eat the rest."
As Bae Juhyun said this painfully, Liu Xin'an was already laughing heartily.
"Just eat, it's only one meal, it won't have any impact."
"No way, Yerin once thought the same as you, and ended up gaining so much weight that Taekyon almost scolded her to death."
"Taekyon scold people? I don't think I've ever seen that."
Bae Juhyun picked up a piece of rice cake, took a small bite, and since she couldn't eat much, she decided to take more bites of each piece to mentally deceive herself.
"How long have you known Taekyon, seven or eight years ago he was really fierce, he could make us cry over little things."
"Did you also cry from being scolded?"
"Hmm, not telling you."
Bae Juhyun didn't want to talk about such embarrassing things as being scolded till crying.
Traditional Korean cuisine, Liu Xin'an had already experienced quite a lot.
He had also gotten used to the combination of a mouthful of food and a spoonful of rice.
"When is New Year this year?"
This question stunned Liu Xin'an, then Liu Xin'an took out his phone to check and answered, "End of January."
"End of January... I'll be on vacation then, let's go back together!"
Liu Xin'an was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Should we go back together?"
"What? I'm not going back with you?"
Bae Juhyun was also puzzled, but quickly recovered, raised her beautiful eyes, put down her chopsticks, and continued to ask Liu Xin'an.
What does this guy mean, he's not letting her go home with him for the New Year this year?
"Uh..." Liu Xin'an immediately started sweating, mainly because he planned to propose today, and if the proposal was successful, then going home for the New Year together had a different meaning from before.
Liu Xin'an hadn't been married before, but he had organized weddings for relatives, after the proposal, he should indeed take Bae Juhyun home, and even as his unwed wife.
Simultaneously, he also needed to visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law and report on current situations.
So Liu Xin'an's idea was... not to go back with Bae Juhyun this year, but to go directly to Daegu, formally greet the two elders, and seek their approval to marry Bae Juhyun.
Just...
He hadn't proposed yet.
Bae Juhyun also didn't know about the things he had prepared.
This misunderstanding had occurred.
"No no, what I meant is, we've visited my family the past two years, this year I'm thinking of spending New Year at your place, and accompany your parents."
This answer could also explain Liu Xin'an's odd behavior, Bae Juhyun didn't think much of it, just lightly snorted, then seriously pondered these matters.
For her, the Spring Festival wasn't particularly important, but for her parents' generation, the Spring Festival was still a time for the whole family to gather.
The past two years she was so in love, she went to Liu Xin'an's home, and this year it's indeed her turn to return to celebrate New Year at her own home.
Having figured this out, Bae Juhyun nodded but still showed a somewhat conflicted expression: "But spending New Year at my place isn't as lively as at yours."
