But she also knew that if she continued thinking that, she wouldn’t ever be able to get out of the house. “It’s okay. I can do it. Because I’m a superwoman.”

Muyeol chuckled and nodded. It was just like Yiyoung to say that. She would pause in her journey, but she wouldn’t ever give up.

The topic of the conversation changed when Muyeol asked, “Did you like any of the stores?”

“Yeah.”

“Then, we can start trying on the clothes now.”

“Yeah, but will you be okay?” asked Yiyoung.

Muyeol only glanced at her, sipping his coffee with a straw.

“I’m asking whether you’ll get tired. If yes, you could just stay here. I can go by myself.”

“I didn’t come all the way along just to make you shop alone. Let’s go after finishing these.”

“Okay! It’s time to spend some money. Istanbul is waiting for me,” Yiyoung cheered.

She bought a dress that she would normally never consider buying. In fact, she bought not just one, but several dresses. Now that she knew what was waiting ahead, it was easy for her to shop for clothes. She had only worn comfortable clothes so far, but to satisfy herself, she bought some sexy lingerie.

The last stop was the shoes department. But Yiyoung found it hard to choose anything. She’d always worn sneakers, so she didn’t know what she wanted, and there were too many options.

But then an employee asked, “How about this one? I think it’ll look great on you.”

“Oh, is that so? I’ll try it.” Yiyoung put on the shoes and walked around for a bit before saying, “I think the heels are too high.”

“This height is too much for you? It’s only 2 inches high.”

“Yeah, because I always wore sneakers…”

The employee hummed, then suggested, “How about this pair?”

The employee was very friendly and had a great taste, but the problem was that Yiyoung was too used to sneakers. The prettier shoes weren’t great for walking, and the comfortable ones didn’t suit her. The flat shoes were the closest to the comfort of sneakers, but Muyeol didn’t seem to like them.

Muyeol watched Yiyoung try on several pairs of shoes before turning around and looking at the shoes displayed in the corner. He bent down and picked up one of them. “Try this one.”

“Oh, that one…” the employee chimed in, “It’s from last season, but we restocked it because of customer demand. I hadn’t thought of that one.”

Yiyoung tried on one shoe, and was shocked. It felt so soft, and hugged her feet so comfortably. It was a perfect fit, too. Yiyoung looked at Muyeol, amazed by his taste which was even better compared with the employee.

“Try the other one, too,” Muyeol suggested.

Yiyoung put on both of them, and they felt comfortable, very similar to wearing sneakers.

“Is it comfortable?” Muyeol asked, despite already knowing the answer.

“Yeah. I even like the dark denim color, but would it go with the dress I bought today? Wouldn’t it stand out too much?”

“I think it’ll match perfectly. Just get this one if it’s comfortable.”

Yiyoung finalized the selection, excited to wear them on her trip to Istanbul. She nodded and said, “I’ll take these.”

Naturally, Muyeol paid for the shoes. His wallet had opened many times today for Yiyoung’s sake. They walked around some more, and bought two more pairs of shoes from different stores.

“Didn’t you spend too much money today? You should have just let me pay,” Yiyoung said as she looked at all the shopping bags Muyeol was holding.

“Think of it as a reward for not having any attacks in the mall.”

“Really? I can think of it in that way?”

“Yeah, why not? Don’t think too hard about it.”

“That’s not easy for me.”

“You’ll get used to it eventually,” he said before pausing, “Wait.”

When he stopped walking, Yiyoung followed suit. “Why?”

They were in front of the store where Muyeol had gotten their wedding rings.

He strode into the store. “Follow me.”
