Chapter 358: Three Part Vacation (4)
After that sweet yet intense dinner, Kwon Oh-Jin and Isabella headed for the observatory at Seoul Tower. Beyond the glass, the city’s nightscape stretched out. Brilliant lights spilled across the streets as if someone had flipped the night sky upside down.
“It’s beautiful,” Isabella said.
“Yeah, it is.”
What more could one say? Whether it was Seoul or Italy, the city's night view looked just as beautiful. There wasn’t much else to add beyond that.
They sat on a bench nearby and looked out through a large window. Despite the silence, it didn’t feel awkward but rather comforting in a way. The warmth from holding hands felt like a soft, drowsy happiness that words could never fully express.
Breaking the silence, Isabella turned to him with a smile as warm as a spring breeze. “Mr. Oh-Jin, I had such a wonderful time today.”
“Today?”
The image of Isabella’s eyes burning red as she devoured his blood, and her murderously glaring at him over iced Americanos and Hawaiian pizza, suddenly resurfaced in his head.
“Was it... really wonderful?”
If he had to give the date a score, it probably leaned more toward a complete disaster.
“Ah, just forget about earlier.” She pouted and playfully pinched him in the side. “Maybe the date didn’t go quite as I’d hoped, but still, I enjoyed it.”
It had been an ordinary day. Actually, the day had been full of mistakes and regrets. Perhaps that made simply holding hands right now feel even more precious. Nothing flashy or extraordinary, just ordinary, everyday life.
