APPARENTLY, THE WINNER OF the Spring Scouting Festival was also granted five million won.
Five million won.
Eun Ha shamefully bit back her jealousy as Seok Min was handed the enormous cheque, the amount maybe making her drool a little despite herself.
"Congratulations," she said sincerely as he stepped off the stage once more and ambled over.
"Thank you. I don't know what I'm going to do with such an amount, honestly," he confessed, running a hand bashfully through his styled hair, mussing it up. And his eyes, they sparkled with the light of a million shooting stars as he added:
"So it's yours."
He handed her the cheque, and she nearly dropped it. Her eyes widened, jaw slackening. "What?"
"It's all yours. I asked my parents about it, for their permission. They said you can have it."
"B-but it's five million won!" she pointed out, flustered. She pushed it away. "How could I possibly – "
"Take it, Eunnie," he cut in, pressing the cheque into her open palms, and a gentle kiss to the smooth skin of her trembling forehead. Her eyes were squeezed tightly shut even after he'd pulled away, maybe for fear that it was all just a dream – the Spring Festival, the money, Lee Seok Min – and that it would all just disappear once she opened her eyes.
But eventually, her eyes eased open and he was still crouched before her, a star-studded smile gracing his elegant lips. She couldn't breathe; and discovered twin teardrops falling from her eyes as he put a feather-light hand on her knee and said,
"Take it and go to college, and become the best doctor in Korea."
