Golden Time (JungYong)

93

Suhyuk visited a series of hospitals in Stockholm to brief about his research on stem cells.

Numerous reporters followed him there, and those doctors present at his briefing session were busy taking notes of, and even recording what he said.

At last he completed all the lectures he had to, and was able to find his own free time.

He could have returned to Korea after the ceremony, but he did not.

He spent his vacation with Hana in Stockholm.

They took pictures in front of famous buildings and had delicious food.

Smiles never disappeared from their faces.

Holding their hands, both walked along the streets during the night.

It was no exception today.

Holding a cup of coffee, they took a leisurely tour of the busy thoroughfare crowded with foreigners.

"Looks like they are not tired," said Hana.

At her remarks Suhyuk looked back slightly.

Stout guys with a strong build, in black suits and wearing glasses.

They were the bodyguards assigned to protect them.

From morning till night they guarded both of them without any rest.

"You feel rather uncomfortable because of them, right?"

At Suhyuk's asking Hana made a bitter smile.

"Well, as they're keeping an eye on us, I do feel like that..."

Suhyuk suddenly quickened his pace, along with Hana holding his hands.

Surprised by their sudden act, the bodyguards began following them quickly.

However, both of them already disappeared into the crowds.

"Haaaah... haaah..."

Both of them were now crossing a long bridge over the water.

After running away from the bodyguards, they came to a stop soon.

Though they were short of breath, they did not lose their smiles.

Suhyuk looked back at the road they had come from, and then looked at Hana.

"Looks like we gave them the slip finally."

He was right. Though they felt sorry about the bodyguards, Suhyuk and Hana wanted to spend their valuable time just between themselves during their stay in Stockholm.

All this would be a good memory about which they could reminisce together later.

Holding their hands again they walked on the bridge slowly.

Suhyuk then asked her suddenly,

"Hana, what is your dream?"
"Me? Well..."

She, hesitant to answer, just looked down at the water, sweeping up her long straight hair.

Her dream already came true at this place.

"How about you?"

At her asking Suhyuk just smiled and said,

"Well my dream is..."

When the wind blew, the trees nearby shook, with the leaves scattering away like snowflakes.

"Yes, this is the Lee Suhyuk I used to know," said Hana.

When Hana raised her thumbs, Suhyuk hugged her carefully.
