—— Seori

As Jungwon skillfully navigated the car back into the city, we eventually arrived at a serene spot by the river. The city's vibrant chaos gave way to the tranquil sounds of flowing water and rustling leaves.

Eager to enjoy the peaceful ambiance, I stepped out of the car, excitement bubbling within me. However, my enthusiasm was swiftly met with a familiar foe – my own two feet. This time, it wasn't a misstep on the pavement; it was a graceful trip over the blanket still draped around me.

In that moment, Jungwon, ever the vigilant Bad Boy Racer, caught me before I could tumble. He untangled me from the blanket, and a cold spring breeze brushed against my skin, eliciting a shiver. The night air held a certain freshness, a contrast to the exhilarating warmth of the highway.

Opening the backseat door, Jungwon tossed the blanket inside. Without missing a beat, he retrieved a hoodie and handed it to me. As I slipped it on, the oversized garment practically draped me like a dress. I couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight.

Jungwon, sporting a teasing smirk, remarked, "You look like a 5-year-old in that hoodie, Seori."

I playfully rolled my eyes. "Well, blame it on my height. Everything looks like a dress on me," I quipped, feeling the warmth of the hoodie against the spring chill.

Jungwon, now wearing a hoodie himself, chuckled at my retort. "Fair point. But I have to admit, it's a cute look for you," he conceded, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

Amidst the riverside tranquility, I couldn't resist pressing Jungwon about his earlier comment. "Do I really look cute in this?" I asked, feigning a pout and tugging at the oversized hoodie that now draped over me.

Jungwon, ever the playful Bad Boy Racer, took a step closer, a glint of mischief in his eyes. He reached out, gently pulling the hood over my small head. The hood enveloped me, and he deftly tugged on the strings, securing it around my face. I could feel the playful tightening as he declared, "Now you look even cuter."

I laughed, the hood now framing my face like a makeshift fortress. "Cuter, huh? Well, if I'm going to be cute, might as well embrace it," I replied, smiling through the fabric that obscured part of my vision.

Jungwon grinned, pleased with his impromptu fashion adjustment. The banter continued, our laughter dancing in the moonlit glow. The night seemed to hold a certain magic, woven through shared laughter, riverside serenity, and the unexpected charm of a hoodie secured a bit too snugly.

With the playful banter lingering in the night air, Jungwon and I decided to stroll along the tranquil riverbank. The gentle murmur of flowing water served as a serene backdrop to our impromptu adventure.

As we walked, an idea sparked within me. I paused for a moment, letting Jungwon continue ahead without realizing my brief hesitation. Then, seizing the whimsical spirit of the night, I broke into a run and leaped onto his back.

The sudden weight on him surprised Jungwon, but he swiftly adjusted, his strong arms sliding under my legs to secure a piggyback ride. Laughter spilled from both of us as we continued our walk, the moonlight reflecting on the river casting a glow on our shared moment of spontaneous joy.

"Didn't see that coming, did you?" I teased, my voice laced with laughter.

Jungwon chuckled, the warmth of the night accentuating the amusement in his eyes. "You sure know how to keep things interesting, Seori."

As he carried me along the riverbank, the Ramen Queen on the back of the Bad Boy Racer, the night seemed to embrace the whimsy of our unexpected connection. The moonlit stroll, coupled with the playful surprise, painted the riverbank with the hues of an adventure neither of us had anticipated.
