After that amazing morning in the mountains, Bin made it sure that he would always call Yejin; to hear her sweet voice and to see if she was okay. He would always check on her while Yejin would ask him which places to visit and which food to try. As much as Hyun Bin wants to give her a tour around the city, he unfortunately been tied up to his workplace. The emergency department had been busy for the last 4 days and he'd usually finish at 10pm. It would be too late to ask Yejin for a quick snack or coffee. It pisses him off that he can't, especially knowing that she's only here for another 10 days. But that didn't stop him from doing something for her.

One morning, Yejin woke up to a knock on her door. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled the freshly baked special bread. The hotel staff handed her a breakfast tray with that familiar brown bag from the small bakery. She immediately opened it and took a bite. She noticed a tiny note from Bin on the bag while eating, "Good morning Yejin. Take care today. Have some special hot pandesal before you start your day. - Bin (with a smiley)". She hasn't even started her day, yet it's already complete.

She also came home to her hotel room one evening with a bouquet of tulips waiting on her bed. She loves flowers and would also do arrangement for her apartment. She mentioned it to him when they had the breakfast picnic. "He remembered..", she smiled with that realization. "Maybe I could arrange some flowers for his house or office before I go back to Seoul." She got excited with that thought, but it slowly faded away as it also meant her holiday is over.

She was just in her room, on a sunny Thursday afternoon. She still has not decided if she'll go out or just stay in her hotel room. She has been busy today anyway, busy thinking about him. She wondered how he is, is he still working? She hasn't seen him for 4 days, a part of her surely misses him. Wait, miss? But it is true, if there's anyone she'd like to share a cup of coffee with, that would be Hyun Bin.

As if fate was reading her mind, her phone beeped. Her eyes glittered when she saw who the sender was, it was him. "Hi... :) Can I ask a question?", Intrigued by his message, she answered, "Fire away. Hello by the way :)". She immediately received a reply, "How is the weather like outside your room?" She glanced at her window and found that her curtains has not been pulled yet. She then also wondered what the day is like outside. She got up from her bed and walked to her window. She pulled the curtains and light started to fill her room. It is a beautiful day, and as she looked down, she saw a familiar figure.

He was standing there, outside her room. Beaming with his ridiculously cute smile, he waved his hand at her "Hello! Ice cream?" Showing on his other hand a big cup of gelato. She smiled her happiest eye smile, "It better be Chunky Monkey!" Pertaining to her favorite ice cream flavor. "Come on down!" Bin shouted while laughing. She quickly fixed herself and went down to meet Bin.

He waited for her in the garden. Dr. Bin finished his rounds early, and was finally off for the next 3 days. He certainly knew who he wanted to see once he got out of the hospital 2 hours ago. It was a sunny day, so he figured it would be the best time to have an ice cream, and who else to share it with?

Her. That fine lady who is now standing infront of him, with her beauty as radiant as the sun.

"Chunky Monkey just for you." He greeted him and handed her one spoon. She did a curtsy and said, "Thank you." She was wearing her sunglasses, he didn't wonder why because it was indeed sunny. She took them off once they were alone. Thank goodness for that he thought. He can directly look into her eyes, her eye smile most importantly.

"10 days to go huh?" Bin reminded her. She nodded while taking a scoop. "Hmm-mmm.." As she was eating, a small smudge of ice cream went to the corner of her right cheek, just few centimeters from her lips. "Ooops, you've got something on your cheek.", Bin prompted her. "Oh, thanks," she said. She let go a tiny smile and started cleaning it up. However, she missed that smudge. "Not quite there yet. Let me do it," then she felt his thumb touch her face.
