Muyeol and Yiyoung returned to their room after enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel. They showered together, and even got ready together.

“Where are you going today, again?” asked Muyeol.

“To Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, and the Grand Bazaar,” Yiyoung replied as she stared at his bright white shirt.

“How about tomorrow?”

“If possible, I want to visit the Topkapi Palace Museum, the Galata Bridge, and the Galata Tower. But I’ll decide my plans for tomorrow after I’m done sightseeing today,” Yiyoung said with a smile.

As soon as she’d heard that they would go to Istanbul, she had researched about all the places that were a must-visit, all the different kinds of food she needed to try, and the things she had to purchase. Knowing that it would only be a short trip, so she wouldn’t be able to do everything on the list, she’d planned her days based on the major tourist spots. And it was then she realized that every location she wanted to visit was in close vicinity to each other.

“Okay,” Muyeol muttered as he buttoned up his shirt, “You don’t have to go crazy on the very first day though.”

“Yeah. Since this is going to be my first time, I’ll control myself. If I gain a good experience this time, the next time would only be better. And then I’ll be able to go to even more places in the future.”

Muyeol glanced at Yiyoung. “Did you take your medicine?”

Yiyoung patted her stomach. “It’s being digested right now.”

“Still, don’t go too crazy.”

“Okay.”

Yiyoung waited until Muyeol had donned all his clothes and was about to choose his tie. She slowly pulled out the nicely wrapped gift and gave it to him.

“What is this?” Muyeol asked.

“It’s a tie for good luck!”

Muyeol stared at Yiyoung with brows raised.

“I bought this for you from the airport. And I put all my positive energy in it, so if the contract goes well, it’s all because of me!”

Muyeol laughed, then unwrapped the gift and opened the case to pull the tie out.

“I thought of you when I saw the color,” Yiyoung explained. The silver threads against the prussian blue fabric of the tie sparkled like the stars. She checked out the tie through its reflection in the mirror. “You’re quite sparkly.”

Muyeol’s lips turned up into a smile. He put on the tie. It was a great choice, and it matched his clothes. Prussian blue tie with a bright white shirt; there was no better combination than this.

“I hope your contract goes well. Then you’ll probably take me with you again next time,” said Yiyoung.

“Why?”

“What do you mean, why? Because I bring you good luck!”

Muyeol couldn’t help but chuckle. It was always so much fun to listen to Yiyoung when she was overly confident.

“I hope that’s the case,” Muyeol said.

It was worth it to put so much effort into the project, and Muyeol hoped the result would be good. He wished that after such a long struggle, today and tomorrow would be a turning point for the company.

Before Muyeol left the room dressed in his perfect suit, he kissed Yiyoung on the forehead. “Be safe today.”

“Yeah. Have a great day.”

“Okay.”

After he left, Yiyoung caught her breath, clenching her chest with both hands. Muyeol had looked so good that she couldn’t even breathe properly while talking to him.

“I must have saved a nation in my past life,” she muttered to herself.
