The Day Doom Knocked on Our Doors

Chapter 7: Might be a Real Kiss

When you've been living on your own for quite some time, it's rather difficult to wrap around your head the idea of being able to navigate freely when you're suddenly thrust to a situation where you have to live with someone else. For one, you'd now have to consider the other person for anything that you will do, when before, you need only to think of yourself. That however isn't the case for both In Guk and Bo Young.

They are quite the same in terms of work ethics and it apparently even applies to how they move around the house. On days that they don't need to work, Bo Young wakes up to In Guk cooking something to eat. His dieting seems to be a big factor as to why he took it upon himself to do the cooking duty.

In turn, Bo Young finds herself cleaning once they're done eating. After which, they both sit in the sun room, read the scripts and even practice some of it too. This is only one of the things they decided to do together.

Myul Mang, as promised, took them places. Bo Young never thought she'd go to Ethiopia just to drink the best coffee for breakfast, eat ramen at Japan for lunch, and dine at Mirazur in France all in the same day. She wishes she could've stayed longer in any of those places, but even with the 88 days she has left, she's actually quite lucky to be able to go where she has been, the past few days.

She wouldn't say it but having In Guk in those trips was something she was really very thankful for. While he said he isn't someone who is very good at going places, Bo Young learned he wasn't lying when her trip to Barcelona was used to find him, he was actually the one who knew which places to go to when you want to eat good food. She figured, they matched each other in that sense.

She said in one interview that if she only had 100 days to live, she'd travel the world. He said he'd come with her. And was very specific about wanting to try eating cuisines local to a particular country he'll travel to. In fact, this was that same interview Myul Mang heard that made the immortal knock on their doors on a day of generosity.

Once in a while, Bo Young thinks, what if they didn't do the interview? Will the both of them just die not knowing it was nearing? Will they be able to go places in a short amount of time?

Will I be able to know him like this too?

"What are you thinking?"

It was In Guk's voice that broke her silence. Turning to her left, she found him patiently waiting for her response. She can see a bit of worry in his eyes, it's quite endearing.

"Food."

She lied. She can tell he was worried that she's worried about what's going to happen in the near future. It is worrisome. But she should have been more careful about showing her feelings. If they were going to die, she should at least make the most of it by not subjecting herself and In Guk in misery.

"We just ate." He responded chuckling. "So?" She replied. "It doesn't have to be a heavy meal. I'm just thinking about snacks. Today's vibe is making me sleepy."

"Alright. What do you want?" He asked. Bo Young can tell he's amused. She couldn't help but smile at him in return.

----

Truth be told, In Guk has a bit of an idea about what Bo Young is thinking. At least he knows she must be thinking about the fact that each day that passes that they get to know each other more, the lesser the days become before they'd have to let everything go. Their work, their family, their life, and each other.
