When Ye Jin raised her head and looked at him, she felt that her heart was home. She came to a conclusion that for this man, she would give it her all. She knew him for more than 15 years and he had earned her heart by baring her his own. Completely...
The sharp rays of sunlight wielded Ye Jin's eyes open. If there was one thing she missed on this trip, it was definitely her blackout curtains back home. She was trying to stretch her body awake when she felt a heavy limb weighing on both of her legs. She looked at the man to her left and immediately regretted doing so, as it took everything in her to prevent herself from toppling over in laughter.
Hyun Bin was still in a deep sleep, with his hair disheveled and his mouth hanging open. He was taking up more than half of the bed with his arms and legs spread-eagled, looking like he was ready to offer his body and soul to some deity up above.
Not willing to let this moment pass without a remembrance, Ye Jin reached for her phone and took selcas with Hyun Bin laying beside her. She's been collecting pictures of Hyun Bin asleep since college, which wasn't hard to do because he was a heavy sleeper and could drift off anywhere. Once satisfied, she got down from the bed and tiptoed her way into the bathroom.
When Ye Jin stepped out of the shower, Hyun Bin was already awake and absent-mindedly staring at the ceiling.
"I thought you were never going to wake up.", she mumbled.
He rubbed his eyes before swinging his legs out of the bed. She so pretty, he thought as he saw Ye Jin in her floral dress. Her skin looked far radiant under the European sun and she had a bundled towel on her head, making her appear more delicate than usual.
"Have you decided where to go, yet?", she asked him before facing the full-body mirror and plugging the hairdryer she brought.
He shook his head, "Not yet."
Ye Jin sighed. "Just make sure you won't spend the rest of the day here, okay?", she bleated.
Hyun Bin was about to make his way into the bathroom when he stopped on his tracks and scratched his head, "Can I just come with you?"
Ye Jin turned off the hairdryer and looked at him through the mirror, "Are you sure? There's nothing much to see in the wineries."
"I can't think of anything else to do, really.", he shrugged.
"I thought you were eyeing some places to go to?"
Hyun Bin's ears turned red.
"Eh", he whined. "I don't want to go there alone. Just drag me with you", he said as he waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to bother making his own plans.
Ye Jin was about to question him further but Hyun Bin had already shut the bathroom door before she even got a word out. How is he going to manage on his own in Manhattan?

It took them an hour to reach the Azienda Agricola La Lastra. By the entrance stood a smartly-dressed woman, who seemed to recognize Ye Jin as soon as they stepped out of the cab.
