23. Twenty Tree

A beautiful morning accompanied by the chirping of birds outside and the supported weather. It looked sunny as well as white clouds that lined up neatly such bread in the blue sky.

As usual, Aera is ready to cook in the kitchen for her breakfast with Hyungtae. This morning she makes bibimbap and Hyungtae is the first person who tastes her bibimbap after a long time and never makes it. Previously, Hyungtae didn't have heavy food for breakfast, but since Aera's coming, whatever the beautiful girl served, everything would taste good and be accepted by his stomach.

After half an hour, Aera finished preparing breakfast for the two of them. Mr. Park, as usual, must have woken up Hyungtae at this hour. Unfortunately, there is something strange. After a few minutes, Aera waited for Hyungtae at the dining table, and finally what he had been waiting for arrived.

Aera always wears casual clothes when cooking and then changes into neat clothes after they finish breakfast, then leaves for the office. But Hyungtae is different this morning, he wears the same casual clothes as Aera, and his hair isn't as neat as usual when he goes to the office.

"Why are you wearing that shirt, Kim? Don't you have to go to the office?" asked Aera surprised. It's not usually Hyungtae's so relaxed like this. Hyungtae feels confused because of the question asked by Aera. After sitting in Hyungtae's chair he finally knows that Aera forgets that today is Sunday.

"Then you, why are you wearing that dress?" Hyungtae asked back. He pretends and fools Aera. "I always change my clothes after eating. And yes... After having breakfast then quickly change your clothes. If not, then it will be late." Aera scolded. She feels worried that Hyungtae might be late for work. It's natural for a CEO to be late for work sometimes. But Aera can't accept that. She's afraid that Hyungtae will look like a boss on his own.

Hyungtae continued to eat while teasing Aera as usual. He hasn't told Aera that today is a day off. "Ra-ya, you have a place you want to visit don't you?" asked Hyungtae suddenly. "What kind of place?" Aera chimed in unsuspectingly. "Usually girls have a list of places they want to go on vacation, that sort of thing."

Hyungtae's hands repeatedly brushed his hair back after looking down at his food, Aera knows it and feels uncomfortable. Then she takes a rubber band in her apron pocket which she prepares there when she forgets to wear a hair ponytail.

"Oh, go for a walk. I want to go to lotte world and the mall where games are. Because I rarely take a day off from work so it's been a long time since I visited places like that."

Aera explains as she steps closer to Hyungtae's chair. At first, Hyungtae wonders why Aera approaches him. After standing in front of Hyungtae, without asking permission Aera's hand grabs his bangs that already hanging down to his nose. Then the pigtails are up, her intention is not to disturb Hyungtae while eating. But without realizing it, the ponytail makes Hyungtae look cute like an innocent little boy.
