——Jungkook——

I didn't want to take this trip.

The time for the project I was working on for my supervisor was tight, and I also had to prepare for an internship at a company I liked. But my mother told me that I was too tired these years and asked me to go out and travel to relax. She also tentatively mentioned that since I scolded Somi severely last time, she had been depressed for a long time, stopped hanging out with classmates and friends, and her academic performance was getting worse and worse.

This made me feel a little irritated, and I said, "Mom, just say whatever you want to say. Why do we have to worry so much about talking to each other?"

My mother paused for a moment on the phone and said, "It's my fault. I feel that the family has been relying on you for so many years. You earned Somi's tuition and our family's living expenses by working part-time in college... I feel sorry for you and hope to ease the relationship between you and your siblings. I have always wanted to go out and travel..."

My life and work schedule, which was so tight that I couldn't even fit a needle in, finally gave way to the sorrow of a loving mother. A few days later, on the recommendation of a friend, I found this tour group and signed up for Somi and me.

When I called Somi to inform her, she was still a little afraid of me, but when she heard that I was taking her to Yunnan for a trip, she was so happy that she said with a smile: "Thank you, brother! Long live brother!" I hung up the phone, and I felt a little happy in my heart. A thought flashed through my mind: In these years, I have been studying and working hard in other places, and we have been apart for a long time. Am I too strict with her? As a result, she, who has been close to me since childhood, is becoming more and more afraid of me.

But this thought only flashed through my mind, and after hanging up the phone, I continued to work on the project, waiting for the day to arrive.

Little did I know that the day I stepped on this ship was the beginning of my fate's collapse. And the fate of my mother and sister was also doomed from that moment on.

——

On the first day on board, while everyone went to the welcome reception, I was working overtime in my room.

Unexpectedly, I met a girl at this time.

At first I was busy calculating data, but there was always a sound in my ears, disturbing me. Later I listened carefully and found that someone was using some glassware to gently touch the railing, a very subtle sound. I put down my pen, walked out curiously, and saw her.

The first thing I saw was her eyes, very watery, with black eyelashes, a bit of a woman's laziness, but also a girl's clarity and innocence. The sound came from the glass in her hand.

I felt my heart flutter. It was an indescribable feeling, just like the sunlight shining on our skin at that time, warm, lazy, and a little confusing.

We chatted for a while and surprisingly got along very well. She was generous and had a good sense of humor. She also knew how to enjoy life. I had never met a woman like her in my circle. In the engineering department where I studied, the only girls were not as pretty and interesting as her. There were also a few girls from other schools who pursued me, but I looked at the so-called "campus beauties" and somehow I just didn't like them. And I was really too busy before and didn't plan to fall in love at all.

I still have six months to graduate with my master's degree, and I have basically secured a very good job prospect. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect to meet someone I felt connected to on the boat, but now that I had met her, I thought I had the right to try.

I asked her to have dinner with me, and she actually blushed and agreed. So I guessed that she was definitely not an experienced womanizer, which made me even more satisfied.
