The scene outside took a big flip of roles. Ji hae, unlike other times, avoided any words with Jae Ra, trying her best not to come out rude to the latter.
Accordingly, ignoring Jae Ra- the guide's concern about the food- Ji hae, without a mere glance, passed by her and got herself in the car.
Jae Ra was distracted. A genuine tense creased her temple, at the fear of possible discomfort that her service might've caused her clients.
JAE HYUNG : (-drawing Jae Ra's attention-) It was delicious, Emo!
TH : I agree. (-smiles-)
JAE RA : I am glad. (-hesitantly-) What happened to Ma'am? She seems a little upset. Was it not upto her taste?
TH : Oh! No no. She has been moody lately. Don't worry, she loved the food too. (-smiles-)
JAE RA : Neh. (-smiles vaguely-)
Not quite satiated, she decided to give them the space, leaving the rest to the feedbacks they post later. If there was any inconvenience caused to her clients, Jae Ra was the one to take the full responsibility and likewise pay for the penalty.
After they were carried back in the car, she set the address to their next destination.
Finding Ji hae in Taehyung's position from last time, Jae Ra looked back through the space that parted the front seats- to notify them of the necessaries.
JAE RA : (-getting everyone in her view-) Next destination will be a 30 minutes' drive. Please be relaxed and enjoy the ride. You can tell me, if there's any problem. (-smiles-)
She found herself invariably going to Ji hae's disaffection, crystallized from her stern expressions. Ji hae, now had indifferently, busied herself surfing through her phone.
However, receiving Taehyung's smile-nod as a response, she turned to face the front. And casually caressed her neck of the muscle stretch, resulting from the twist.
Jae Ra restricted herself from concerning over Ji hae's sudden alter in mood, to avoid provoking her motion sickness that might be triggered otherwise.
Meanwhile in the back, Taehyung smiled watching his son contended, playing with his toy dinosaur. Relaxed about the little one, he planned to listen to some soothing music. Thus, putting on his airpods next, he eased into the soft seats and closed his eyes to rest.
After almost half the journey however, the caring and responsible Dad he was, Taehyung spared a glance to his son. He grew tensed from the latter's sudden quietness. On the check, Taehyung found the four year old, peacefully sleeping with his toy, hugged against his chest. And the entire small figure, crawled up facing his Dad- reclined to the seat.
Taehyung caressed his tiny head, recalling the last night when the little boy even after his dad's constant nag, didn't sleep at his usual time. Simply, to play with his birthday presents.
His attention, not disturbing his son's nap, further climbed to Jihae, who was faced the other side in her slumber. Taehyung's smile trailed off at the brief recollection of the restaurant scene, that he hated to remember.
