Can Love Be Transferred Too? 70

#70

My first foreign country was fascinating in every way.

Unfamiliar language, people in strange attire, landscapes with non-everyday color schemes – seeing all this, I finally began to realize that I had come on my first overseas trip of my life.

We all took a bus to move to Hakata, which was said to be a busy downtown area. With filming staff and writers traveling together, there were quite a few people, so the advantage was that we could use a chartered bus without mixing with other people.

As I was practically glued to the window and absorbed in sightseeing, Han Jiwon, who noticed me like this, burst into laughter.

“Are you that fascinated? This is the first time I’ve seen Sanho this excited.”

“I never thought I’d get to see this.”

I answered, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“I had the desire to go abroad someday, but even though I wanted to, it wasn’t easy to work up the courage.”

“Did you say this was your first time on an airplane?”

“Yes. This was also my first time making a passport.”

Bae Taeseong, who was sitting next to Han Jiwon, subtly joined in.

“You can take airplanes without a passport. Haven’t you even been to places like Jeju Island?”

“I just never had the opportunity.”

I had a chance to go on a school trip in high school, but I declined. It wasn’t because of financial difficulties. Although luxury was difficult, I could have participated in school events without missing out, but the fact that my uncle’s lover was from Jeju Island was stuck in my memory like a thorn.

Of course, with cameras everywhere, I couldn’t spill all those details.

“If I had known it would be this good, I should have gathered courage sooner.”

“Do you think that while sightseeing?”

At Han Jiwon’s amused question, I nodded vigorously. Unlike Seoul, the low houses flowing by in rows looked just like a quaint fairy tale village.

“Yes. Just looking at it feels good.”

At my murmuring, Jin Woohyeon smiled quietly and said.

“I know exactly what you mean.”

It was somewhat ambiguous words. However, his gaze wasn’t, so when our eyes met, I couldn’t help but quickly understand the hidden meaning in those words – who he was thinking of when he said that.

Of course, I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Bae Taeseong asked with a displeased expression.

“You’re really good at saying cheesy things.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do, is there?”

Then Bae Taeseong smiled crookedly and gestured toward the camera installed in the corner.

“Since the stage is set?”

“I mean it’s not something I don’t mean.”

Jin Woohyeon smiled with his eyes and responded.

“As if I’d be conscious of the camera. Our job is to pretend not to see even what’s visible.”

Come to think of it, I vaguely remember hearing that unlike idols or models, actors don’t look directly at cameras. They have to look at their fellow actors, so it would be problematic for them to make eye contact with viewers.

He continued in a mischievous voice.

“Taeseong hyung should say some cheesy things too. When else would you do it if not when you’re dating?”

“Hah…”

I, who had been sightseeing outside the window, glanced sideways at the two of them. Even though they seemed to be bickering, I knew it wasn’t really bad feelings, so I wasn’t worried the atmosphere would turn sour.

I was expecting some kind of retort when an unexpected response came from elsewhere.

“You weren’t that type of personality either, Jin Woohyeon.”

An Lei made a sulky expression.

“Anyone listening would think you’re incredibly romantic.”

Without thinking, I blurted out a response.

“Isn’t he though…”

Just thinking a little about the words and actions he’d shown me confirmed it. It wasn’t just because Lee Chan was my only romantic interest, but objectively judging, he was incredibly affectionate. If not Jin Woohyeon, who else could I attach the modifier “romantic” to – that’s how much I wondered.

But An Lei’s opinion seemed different from mine.

“That’s not it. Chan hyung is the romantic one.”

…Huh?

“I don’t think that’s right either.”

Lee Chan is romantic? It couldn’t help but be the kind of thing that would make the sleeping Gam Seonghan jump up in shock and scream.

“In my opinion.”

Jeon Yudam, who was sitting in front, turned his body around completely and said while resting his arms on the backrest.

“It seems like the alpha hyungs are really acting coy trying to win over people they like. Isn’t that right, Eungi hyung? What do you think?”

Choi Eungi, who had been sitting quietly in the next seat, answered.

“I think you need to sit properly since it could be dangerous.”

“…”

“Look forward and sit down. Fasten your seatbelt properly too.”

“Tch.”

I looked outside the window again.

As we entered the downtown area, the bus movement slowed down a bit. The early evening rush hour, people looking a bit tired walking somewhere in lines, was captured in the car window.

It was scenery that would be more than enough to look at with sparkling eyes, but unfortunately, I could only half-see it.

“…”

Because the tightly held hand kept bothering me. Because the gaze settling on my cheek was too ticklish. Because of the temperature of the voice that occasionally flew to my ear.

So even though I couldn’t concentrate at all, I just pretended to look out earnestly because I felt like I had to act distracted.

[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why is it so funny that the kids crossed the sea and are collectively being awkward]

└ Still, they gathered people with decent jobs and cool aspects… but unexpected situations keep happening so they’re all collectively being awkward for real ㅠ_ㅠㅋㅋ

[Kim Sehyeong solemnly opening the Pap*go app to order at the restaurant (photo)]

└ Didn’t Yeonwoo say he’d order?

└└ They said he uses anime-style Japanese so Kim Sehyeong told him not to open his mouth if possible

└ ㅁㅊ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Did they seal him for the group’s dignity ㅠ

└└ Honestly, imagine your companion using Japanese like “soko made da” and “korya~~~~”

└ Yeonwoo… you’d better not open your mouth if possible. Please.

[Person who also opened Pap*go app = Yoo Sanho]

└ Why is he opening it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Lei is right across from him ㅠㅠ He was born in Japan ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

└ Meanwhile, Lei flipping the menu to show the Korean menu was the perfect finishing touch

└ Koreans go to Fukuoka so~~~~~ much that if they’re just wandering around, staff will say “welcome” in Korean

└ ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ Fukuoka and Osaka are basically half Korean

[So kids, there must be a reason you went to Fukuoka to eat Sapporo specialty food, right? You had the option to eat motsu nabe but you chose soup curry…?????]

└ But I went to that curry place on a business trip once and it was delicious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I remember going because it was a local famous restaurant

[The gap between Choi Eungi at spice level 0 and Jeon Yudam at level 10 is so cute I’m going crazy]

└ Stereotypes from faces ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When they put level 10 in front of Choi Eungi, Jeon Yudam smoothly pulls it over (photo)

[Sanho definitely really likes cooking ㅋㅋㅋ His curiosity is really amazing in front of food he’s never tried]

└ Why is it so cute that he froze because the okra texture was unfamiliar ㅠㅠ It’s definitely an ingredient not commonly eaten in Korea

[Woohyeon, you really only see Sanho… What were you going to do if Sanho wasn’t there because it would be boring?]

└ When he thinks Sanho ate something he doesn’t like, he holds out his palm telling him to spit it out, that really gets me (video)

└ Oh my god

└ >>>If it tastes bad, spit it out here<<<

└ Didn’t Sanho swallow it in surprise? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ I still haven’t adapted to melodrama-eyed Jin Woohyeon… I don’t think I can say it’s a Q&A anywhere ㅠㅠ Who are you, where did my actor go, he definitely wasn’t this kind of person…!!!!

[Participants who were lukewarm when they said they’d have mini-games on day 2… suddenly changing attitude when day 3 benefits were mentioned ㄹㅈㄷ]

[Making alphas do thigh wrestling and omegas do arm wrestling ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Pride fight vs comedy showdown]

[No, physical competition ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ How is Choi Eungi going to win ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

└ Han Jiwon losing interest as soon as the event was decided ㅋㅋ “Can I forfeit?”

[Choi Eungi vs Bae Taeseong neck-and-neck was really crazy]

[Sanho won arm wrestling easily?]

└ Arms trained by real grip strength… Never underestimate those who work in kitchens… They could really kill you…

└└ Ah

[So alpha group Choi Eungi / omega group Yoo Sanho won like this? I’m really curious what the benefit is]

└ Right… Maybe it’s benefit date nomination rights? On day 1 they all went together

Amid everyone’s curiosity, the mini-game winner’s benefit was revealed.

– Mini-game winners Choi Eungi-ssi and Yoo Sanho-ssi will be provided with the benefit of exclusive accommodation rights on day 3.
