20.1 - Blessings in the Simple Things

Due to the two projects Jungkook was currently working on, their couple's vacation unexpectedly turned into a group trip consisting of more than a dozen people. Jungkook's secretary was sighing incessantly over how the little boss had foresight by selecting an island where a visa was not required of them. Otherwise, with these last few days running into the Lunar New Year, they would not have had enough time to obtain a visa ...

Listening to this, Lisa secretly peeked over at Mr. Jeon, whose expression was one of openness and ease. She believed unquestionably that it was not that he had foresight, but that he happened to have been unlucky and had a nasty trick played on him by the big boss.

The flight was a night one, but it was still as lively as a market.

When Jungkook went to use the washroom, the woman sitting on Lisa's left side was so bothered by the noise that she ripped the sleep mask off her eyes. "The thing you're afraid of most when taking a plane is that a tour group is on the same flight as you ... especially late night flights."

Her words were spoken to Lisa. Lisa gave a polite smile, still adjusting to the effects high-altitude flying had on the eardrums.

The few times she had taken an airplane had all been after she and Jungkook had started their relationship and had been limited to the short flight between Busan and Seoul. Consequently, she had no true experience to share on the topic regarding encountering tour groups or similar.

These colleagues of Jungkook's were essentially all people who were outstanding and amongst the finest, and as they conversed in front and behind, all manners of subjects came up. There were work discussions as well as casual conversations, and most of the topics were new and interesting to listen to while a small portion consisted of ones that she did not even understand what she was hearing.

While he was returning to his seat, he happened to be stopped by the outstretched arm of a person two rows forward, and an unexpected dialogue on work topics began.

This was actually the first time she had seen him talking about work with someone else.

With one hand leaning against the seat, he would occasionally fall into contemplation, but the greater part of the time, he would be engaged in discussion, returning each point brought up by the other person with one of his own. Her seat had been adjusted into a leaning-back position, and she could comfortably watch and admire him. You know, people sometimes truly could very easily be made proud. In this particular moment, Lisa finally understood the feeling of "owning" a coveted, luxury good.

Her gaze glided from his face to his arm, which was resting on the seat, and ultimately fell on that unassuming, but ever-present ring. All of a sudden, she remembered that afternoon.

That moment when he had held the ring in his hand, waiting for her to slip it on him.

Their room had been reserved very early on and was on a separate floor from everyone else.

The majority of people who came to this island were here for a honeymoon vacation. The design and décor of the hotel room exuded romance, and the furniture was all comprised of wicker. When she pushed open the door and stepped inside, a breeze happened to blow in from the balcony. The pale blue curtains were lightly billowing upwards, then drifting back down.

After finishing a several-hours-long flight, this sort of room was indeed the most suitable place to settle into.

This was her first time out of country, and to say that she was not excited was not possible. Jungkook went to take a shower, and all the while, she leaned against the balcony railing, gazing out at the ocean in the distance.
