Chapter 18

Chapter 18

The last time Eunwoo walked down these stairs with Lisa, he had shrunk to the side and clutched at the handrails for fear that he would accidentally bump into Lisa. Now, as he walked through the same narrow stairs with her, Eunwoo felt much more relaxed and less restrained.

He turned towards Lisa beside him and said "Sorry, my mother's like this with everyone. I hope you don't mind."

Lisa shook her head. "When I visited your home last time, Yuna already mentioned that auntie wasn't in good health." At the time, Lisa thought it would be impolite to inquire about other people's illnesses, so she didn't ask. But now that her relationship with Eunwoo had changed, even if she didn't ask, he would still take the initiative to tell her.

As they exited the building, Eunwoo wondered where he should take Lisa. His neighborhood had all the necessary things to facilitate a passable living environment, but if we're talking about a place worth strolling around in...

After a while, Eunwoo asked her "Where did you park your car?"

"Over there." Lisa pointed towards the open court, and sure enough, her car was parked on the painted concrete.

"Do you want to drive somewhere else, or do you want to walk around here?"

Lisa rarely came into this neighborhood and wasn't very familiar with it. "Is there someplace we can walk around in?"

"There's a small park out front, but there's not much in it." Eunwoo replied. The park only had a few simple fitness equipment which was mostly used by the elderly and sometimes children.

Lisa didn't mind. The weather today was lovely, and sitting in a park to chat and bask in the sun sounded nice. "Let's go there. I don't feel like going far."

So the two set off towards the direction of the park. On the way, they happened to pass by a tea shop, so the couple ended up buying two cups of milk tea.

Half-way through their milk tea, they arrived at the small park. The park really was quite tiny; you could see the end of the park at a glance. But there was still a good amount of people in the park. The bright sun made everyone feel warm and happy.

"There's a place we can sit. Let's go." Lisa pointed towards an empty bench nearby and beckoned Eunwoo to follow. As they neared, Lisa noticed a small rabbit-shaped decoration beside the bench. It was lovely. Lisa admired the small rabbit and was about to sit down when Eunwoo stopped her. "Wait, wipe the bench down first. You're wearing a white sweater, don't get it dirty."

Eunwoo wiped the bench seat with his hand and found no dirt. It seems that someone had sat on the bench just moments before.

"Use this." Lisa felt for a tissue from her bag. She took Eunwoo's hand, wiped it for him, then bent down to wipe the bench seat. "Alright, you can sit down now."

Eunwoo's face had turned a little red when Lisa wiped his hands. He took the tissues Lisa had used and went to a nearby garbage can to throw it away. When he turned back, Lisa was already sitting down on the bench, the milk tea straw in her mouth. Noticing that Eunwoo was looking at her, she smiled.

Eunwoo felt his ears turn red. He walked towards the bench and sat down next to Lisa. He coughed awkwardly. "Cough, you're dressed differently today."

Lisa replied "Well, I was going to meet with the elders. I thought it'd be better to dress a bit more properly."

Eunwoo coughed again and said "You look good in whatever style you wear."
