Chapter 390 - Jogging

Although the trip to USA was short, the number of encounter between Eunwoo and Jihae was enormous to the point that it shouldn't be called coincidence.

Can it actually be called a coincidence when it was all planned by the author?

Even Yoonmi had a hard time recalling about all of them. Nonetheless, putting in her best effort, she was able to remember most of those encounters. 

Thinking about it was nerve-wracking. If she ended up missing one, something disastrous could happen, and two of them could take their relationship to the next phase— her biggest nightmare.

That's why, at five in the morning, she got up to go jogging. Although she had this schedule one time in her last life, she quickly abandoned it, seeing how tiring it was.

Last night, after watching a series, she had fallen asleep at exactly one in the night, and after barely four hours of sleep, she had to get down to the beach in order to run in front of it.

The story did not specify at which time both Jihae and Eunwoo will be jogging. That's why, she came down at the earliest possible. If she kept on running, there were high chances of her coming upon them.

As for how long she had to be at here, she could only sigh at the thought of that.

Letting out a yawn, she had her eyes barely open as she sat on the sand and stared at the sea. She had a hard time staying awake. Nonetheless, her devotion to give Hyungsik a happy ending made it possible for her to do so.

Glancing at her watch, she realized that she had been at here for almost an hour by now as the time read six. Seeing what the time was, both of them might be coming here soon.

Yoonmi had a hard time sitting up straight, and therefore, almost reaching a half conscious state, she decided to lay down on the sand. 

At her almost dozed off state, she had no idea on what people was thinking or whether or not she will be missing two of them.

Right then, she desperately craved for sleep.

°°°

Feeling a splash of water on her face and as the salty taste touched her tongue, she instantly jolted up, and raising both of her hands, she exclaimed, "No! I am not sleeping!"

"What are you doing?"

Hearing that voice, she blinked her eyes multiple number of times in order to fix her vision, and finding herself fully awake, she stared at Eunwoo before her.

That caused her to get alarmed. She recalled about how she had fallen asleep despite of her will to watch out for Jihae and Eunwoo.

But before she was able to reprimand herself, she noticed how Eunwoo wasn't sweaty, and judging from his complexion, it didn't appear as if he had started to jog yet.

A wide smile formed on her face as she clapped both of her hands together and thanked the heavens for this.

"Nothing! Are you plan to jog? Bring me along with you," she voiced out.

"You?" he spoke out— his tone showing disbelief as his eyes scanned her from top to bottom.

She nodded her head and said, "Yeah! What's wrong with that?"

"Did you look at what you are wearing?" he raised one of his eyebrows.

Thinking about it, she was barely at a mood earlier to pay mind to her dressing. Noticing how she was dressed in pajamas and had a scarf wrapped around her neck.

"No wonder my nap felt very uncomfortable! It was because of how cold it was," she vocalised.

He let out a sigh and scolded, "Are you crazy? What are you doing at here sleeping at this time of the day? Moreover, you didn't even dress properly! Were you planning for suicide!? At least you should have put on something warm."

Both of her lips protruded forward to form a pout, and she stated, "That's because I woke up really early, and my brain doesn't work properly at that time of the day. And it's not like I wanted to sleep willingly."

"You don't even jog! What would you be doing here at this time?"

A smile formed on her face as she spotted someone, and pointing her finger at the oblivious Jihae, Yoonmi spoke out, "That's because I wanted to run here with her. After our encounter yesterday, I became interested in her, and that's why, I was waiting to run around with her."

Following the direction of her finger, Eunwoo noticed Jihae on the other side, and after sparing the girl a glance, he stared at Yoonmi, letting out a scoff.

His eyes seemed to be asking her whether or not she was serious.

"Have you lost it?" he said.

Pulling down the zipper of his jacket, he removed it and placed it around her shoulders. His actions took her off guard and caused her eyes to widen.

Then again, thinking about it, it wasn't all that shocking. After all, Eunwoo did take Yoonmi to be his younger sister and took care of her at extreme times.

At the warmth that surrounded her shoulder, Yoonmi hugged herself and questioned, "Won't you freeze if you run around in that thin t-shirt of yours?"

"Do you think I will be able to even jog in this? I will just wait for Hyungsik to bring me a new set of clothing," he said.

As both of them stood up, creases appeared between her eyebrows, and while a frown formed on her face, she questioned, "Why should Hyungsik Oppa bring your clothing? Can't you get it on your own?"

Extending his hand towards her, he flicked on her forehead, causing her to let out a flinch, and spoke out, "He wouldn't have to do that if you return my jacket to me."

There was no way she was able to do that! She would freeze if she did that, and her hotel was at a considerable distance far from here.

"Well, when Hyungsik Oppa comes, call me, alright? I will quickly go and change," she voiced out.

By the time Hyungsik came, Jihae would be finishing her running, and that's why, she didn't need to do anything more. 

Seeing how things turned out so perfectly, a wide smile formed on her face.

Turning her back on him, she ran away from that place before Eunwoo would be forcefully taking away her source of warmth from her.

"You!" he shouted after her.
