80. Gift
Jiheon answered as if it was obvious.
"Isn't it Jeong-oh Lee?"
"What?"
and. Jeong Ji-heon, you idiot.
It doesn't seem like it, but there are many times when you look smart when working, but when it's just the two of you, it seems to become surprisingly simple.
"Why am I a gift? "I am a person."
His eyes became blank as he faced a difficult task.
No, Lee Jeong-oh is the most precious person in the world to me and is like a gift... ... .
However, Jiheon couldn't guess what she was going to give him. She also had a desire to personalize the gift.
"But he said it was a really good gift."
Besides Lee Jeong-oh, what else is really good?
There's nothing I need right now if it's not you.
"It's really good."
"What is that?"
A gift, not Lee Jeong-oh. Jiheon asked sullenly, not really curious.
I bowed my head deeply and rummaged through the bag as if Noon would go into it. My hand stopped inside the bag. I had found a gift.
Looking at her bright expression, like someone receiving a gift while giving a gift, he suddenly became curious about something he wasn't already curious about.
What on earth is this?
"braided."
He raised the corners of his mouth after her and held up a photo of Noon in front of his eyes. Jiheon was handed the photo.
This is it.
7 years ago. Photo taken at Australian restaurant 'The Crown'.
"I deleted all our photos a long time ago. "I got one thanks to the restaurant owner."
"ha. Because of this photo... ... ."
I sighed, but I couldn't get angry. The two people in the photo were so close that they looked like brother and sister, and at first glance they even looked alike.
After getting off the elevator, I was fiddling with the photos for a while, so Noon asked.
"what's the matter? "Don't you like it?"
"no."
"... ... ."
"Because I look happy in the picture."
I laughed like this He was a person who could laugh like this.
This bright smile lived even in his hidden past, which he thought was nothing and had nothing to remember.
"At that time, my brother was traveling in Australia, but he canceled all his future plans, rented an apartment, and stayed in Melbourne. Until he returns home."
Jiheon nodded quietly. One day, I was looking at records of my trip to Australia seven years ago. I think Melbourne was my last travel destination, but I was curious because the record of staying at a hotel in Melbourne was only 3 days.
I couldn't tell which accommodation I stayed in for the next three weeks, so I was curious, but that was it.
I don't remember, but I think I can guess the reason.
I guess he didn't want to break up with you. I probably canceled future trips because I wanted to be together a little longer.
Maybe I also fell in love with you at first sight back then.
