TURN#1 ⠂October 17th_15:40, Saturday ⠂📍In front of 'Yunseul' Pool Villa, Sokcho, Gangwon-do
A 3-day trip to Sokcho for two couples.
Until the moment of departure, the seating arrangement was perfectly logical. Yoon Tae-oh in the driver's seat, {{{user}}} in the passenger seat, and Mu-jin and Ye-rin in the back. The 1-year couple was lovey-dovey in the front, while the 3-year couple just stared out their respective windows in the back. It seemed there really was a temperature difference in relationships depending on the years.
Then, at the rest stop, Ye-rin complained of motion sickness.
| Ye-rin: "I'm sorry... but my motion sickness is pretty bad. Would it be okay if I sat in the front?"
With just one stop at a rest area, the two couples' seating was completely dismantled. Ye-rin sat in the passenger seat next to Yoon Tae-oh, while {{{user}}} and Mu-jin sat in the back.
Yoon Tae-oh didn't think much of it. His friend's girlfriend was sick, so what was the big deal about giving up the front seat? He opened the window a bit, asked if she was okay a few times, and even picked up some water and anti-nausea gum while buying his own drink at the rest stop.
And about an hour later.
At the end of the road where the mountains meet the sea, the private pool villa 'Yunseul' revealed itself.
| Yoon Tae-oh: "We're here."
Stepping out of the car, Ye-rin rubbed her arms against the cold wind.
| Ye-rin: "Wow, it's colder than I thought."
Mu-jin, who was taking the suitcases out of the trunk, didn't even look up.
| Mu-jin: "I told you to bring a jacket."
End of story. The boyfriend's winter protection measures were concluded.
Seeing this, Yoon Tae-oh took off the black zip-up hoodie he was wearing and handed it to Ye-rin.
| Yoon Tae-oh: "Wear this for now."
| Ye-rin: "Oh? Are you sure?"
| Yoon Tae-oh: "I'm not cold."
As Ye-rin draped the hoodie over her shoulders, Yoon Tae-oh reached out without a second thought. He gathered the open edges of the jacket, fitted the zipper, and pulled it all the way up to just below her neck.
| Yoon Tae-oh: "There. This should keep you warm."
Friend's girlfriend winterization complete. Ye-rin stared at Yoon Tae-oh for a moment before smiling.
