I miss you

The spectacular view from the heights of the Rooftop Restaurant was even more enchanting with the raindrops on the windows.

The shadow of the cloudy sky came in and contrasted with the bright lights that adorned the restaurant, creating an elegant and romantic atmosphere.

In this charming atmosphere, Ah Reum and Ji Young giggled nervously as they waited for their orders.

"Sorry... I, uh, kind of jumped on you, hehe," Ah Reum begins the dialog shyly.

"I missed you!" Jin Young said seriously, his face showing sincerity and love.

Ah Reum smiles genuinely in agreement. "Me too..."

"Just for the record, this isn't our date yet. It's our celebration for your approval, and my reward for coming back these days," he spoke with a flirtatious smile, soft and seductive.

"Aaah," she shakes her head playfully with an expression of understanding.

"I must say I'm being rewarded too, lol." She said with a mischievous smile.

"I thought I'd come as a pilot to surprise you, but I think that would be a bit weird, lol," Jin Young joked.

Ah Reum imagines what an explosion it would be if this man showed up dressed as a pilot, she starts laughing strangely and her cheeks immediately blush.

"We probably wouldn't be able to go out together lol, the girls would jump... on you..." She remembers jumping on him and her already rosy cheeks now looked like the deep red of a Japanese maple in autumn.

Jin Young laughs. "I have so much fun with you lol, you don't know, do you? There's no need to be embarrassed, only you can do that (jump on him)."

She smiles bubbly and still embarrassed. "How were the tests? Did you get it?" She asked quickly with excitement. "I didn't know it took so long..." She makes a sad face with a pout without realizing it.

He put his hand to his face, laughing. "She's going to kill me any day now, I'm sure of it lol how can she be so beautiful, so cute." Jin Young thought.

"Hm, you're not crying, are you? Are you laughing lol? Can you tell me?" Curious, she asked carefully.

"I'm just laughing with joy, it's a secret, but I'm going to tell you." He says in her ear. "I passed!" He looks at her and all the muscles in his face move in agreement with his speech and his joy.

Ah Reum let out a high-pitched squeal and got up from the table excitedly. "Wow, really? I'm so happy!" bubbling with happy.

"You're that happy lol?" Jin Young asked attentively.

Have you ever seen a child get candy? Ah Reum is like this moment.

"It's your dream, of course I am, so, só happy! It would be nice if we could celebrate all day, but I have to go to work soon..." There she goes making that little face again.

Jin Young makes her so comfortable that she doesn't even notice the faces she's making, it's just her, Moon Ah Reum.

"Tomorrow, on our date, we'll celebrate for as many hours as you like." Jin Young spoke with an incredibly loving smile.

"So tomorrow's the day, the day of our date..." She smiles in love.

They continue chatting while enjoying a delicious fettuccine with shrimp sauce.

"How did you know? Shrimp is my favorite." Ah Reum asked with excitement.

"Well, I had a little help lol." He replied.

The aroma of the spices present in the dish is like alcohol, it get drunk those around, the flavor, the texture, and the exquisite tenderness of the prawns in the slightly spicy sauce are a bring a delicious explosion to every forkful.

"How can something be so tasty? This really is my favorite!" Exclamed Ah Reum.

A far cry from the melancholy that hung over Mode 1896 the other day. Today, the heart of sweet Ah Reum brought a radiant glow to the venue, with her happiness emblazoned on a smile that stretched from ear to ear, lighting up and warming the hearts of those presente. Revealing the power of genuine happiness.

She's flying on the wind of happiness!

"Congratulations, you've worked hard!" Said Ha Neul, happy with Ah Reum's achievement.

"Congratulations my friend! Let's go out today to celebrate, Ha Neul's going to pay lol." Said So Hee.

"Today's on me! We have to celebrate." Ha Neul agreed.

"That's confirmed then lol Today we're going to eat meat, lots of meat." So Hee never loses his excitement.

Ah Reum's day has been filled with happiness, people she loves and, of course, good food.

In a busy steakhouse, meat time had arrived, the sizzle of grilled meat intensified their appetites as their stomachs rumbled with hunger.

Ah Reum and So Hee make a chorus. "We want meat, we want meat."

"You look like children. No, I don't know them." Ha Neul said, almost giving in to the meat chorus.

They burst into laughter.

Ah Reum, So Hee and Ha Neul. "We want meat, we want meat."

Ha Neul laughs. "I can't believe I got into this." She's embarrassed.

"You laughed." Said So Hee

"I didn't laugh lol."

"I'm glad the three of us are here." Ah Reum said genuinely.

"But tell me, are you that happy just because you graduated, or did someone, tall, handsome, fair-skinned, with intense, sparkling eyes come to see you?" Joking about some of Jin Young's beautiful features, So Hee probes Ah Reum.

"You didn't mention the smile." Even Ha Neul joins in.

"True." Said So Hee

"I say, I say," Ah Reum laughs and starts talking passionately about his smile. "Aah, his smile... it's like a bolt of lightning coming towards me, it makes my heart stop and fly in the wind of happiness, the way his eyes smile together, it seems like I could die of love every time he smiles at me..."

"Who is she? lol It can only be Jin to do something like that to your heart." Said Ha Neul.

"I think they've kidnapped my two friends, could I be next? Lol." So Hee looked at the two of them.

Ah Reum became sentimental. "Actually, I wanted to try, but I never managed not to like him. I'll keep doing what I've always done, being who I am, being honest about how I feel, it's what I should do best, for us." She begins to laugh with embarrassment.

She continues: "Girls, can you hear me? I can't believe I'm being so silly and in love lol, this feeling is crazy lmao. But if this is what it's like to love someone, I don't want to stop, I won't stop!!!"

Ha Neul and So Hee laughed and shared Ah Reum's happiness. They couldn't help but tease her too, because that's what friendship is all about, sharing smiles, tears and laughter

"So he's gone?" asked So Hee.

"Yes, he did! And he mentioned that he had help, so of course it could only be you. What exactly did you tell him?" Ah Reum asked.

"That you cried for two whole weeks missing him," Ha Neul replied seriously.

Ah Reum was surprised.

"It was a joke, lol," added Ha Neul.

"She makes jokes? LMAO," said Ah Reum, jokingly

"I don't know who you are, lol," continued So Hee, joking.

Ha Neul, who has always been more reserved, seemed to be opening up completely to her friends.

Finally, the meat was ready and they were able to enjoy a delicious barbecue. Despite being thin, they devoured the food like there was no tomorrow.

They raised their glasses to celebrate Ah Reum's achievement while a heavy rain fell outside.

After enjoying the celebration with her friends, Ah Reum rushed home, eagerly awaiting Jin Young's promised visit. When she arrived, she quickly got out of the cab and ran to the shelter of her gate, seeking refuge from the rain. In her haste, she didn't see what was in front of her and bumped into something, causing her to slowly raise her face a little wet from the rain.

When she came across Jin Young, she quickly pulled him into the house, saying, "Why are you here in this cold? You should be warm in the car!" Her mixture of anger and concern was palpable.

She sat him down on the sofa with a certain amount of force. "Give me your cell phone, so we don't get lost again or wait too long." Ah Reum said with a firm, worried tone.

"Are you worried about me?" Asked Jin Young, who was loving the situation.

Ah Reum gave him an angry look. "Wait a minute." She said before going to get something.

"I don't mind waiting, as long as I get to see you at the end!" Jin Young said firmly, in love.

"You've just passed your test, you can't be sick! Make yourself at home, I'll be right back." She answered him, letting her concern show even more.

While waiting for Ah Reum, Jin Young carefully observed every detail of the house. Looking outside, he could see the rain falling, the leaves swaying in the wind, and the flowers in the garden being watered by nature. It was all a truly beautiful sight.

"So this is her house... it's all so intense and cozy!" He thought happily.

There is a huge painting with traces of the Joseon era on the wall, in which a young woman contemplates the beauty of the sky.

Ah Reum returns. "Here! I like that better than tea! And... wait in a warm place and dress well, so you'll be healthy when you meet me..." Ah Reum said shyly, avoiding eye contact.

"Is it chocolate chaud?" He asked.

"Oh, of course you know, it's perfect for cold days..." She replied.

"Your house is so cozy and beautiful that it gives me a good feeling. It looks like you (the girl in the painting)." Jin Young pointed.

"It's me! The artist added me to the painting hihi. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Said Ah Reum, now a little excited.

"Yes, it is! So beautiful!" he said passionately.

He approached Ah Reum, whispered in her ear: "I've sent you a message" and kissed her cheek gently before saying goodbye. "Sleep well, I'll see you tomorrow."

Message from Jin Young.

"I'll pick you up at 5pm."

"No need to worry, even if it snows tomorrow, we'll be somewhere warm!"

"Good night, paint girl, sleep well."

He sends love stickers.

"Good night, sleep well!" Ah Reum replied.

She smiles with red cheeks. "What a wonderful day, thank you God, may we have many days like this." When she closed her eyes, she could see him kissing her on the cheek.

"Wa... I think I'm going to faint when he kisses me on the mouth LMAO." She screams with happiness and throws herself on the sofa, euphoric.
