There was a moment of silence, not created by awkwardness but by pure sadness . There was something different about his tone; the raw hurt etching in his rasp . Under every word was a painful memory .
Would Yoona be able to help him?
She let out a light smile . "Then why don't you tell me?"
Minhyun closed his eyes . Should he tell her? In this moment of time, after telling each other their true feelings, he felt obliged to tell her about her past . He had to be honest . However, as the memories swirled in his mind, suffocating his heart, speaking would only add fire to the pain .
A change of heart came to play .
When he opened his eyes, he could see the worried face of his companion . Yoona's eyes were widened as she leaned forward towards him while biting her lip .
Not before long, his deep voice rang in the air again . "That'll be a story for another day . "
This time, he was not lying to her . Minhyun was going to tell her sooner or later about the demons of his past . What exactly happened after she left . But at the moment, he couldn't bring himself to talk about the subject yet . He hadn't told anyone about what happened that dreadful time . . .
Minhyun wanted to tell her, but he needed time . The step of opening up to Yoona was enough for today .
Realizing that Minhyun's past was deeper than she originally thought, Yoona placed her hand above his as a method of comforting . She intertwined their fingers . "You don't need to tell me right now . It's fine . "
The warmth of her hand clashed with his cold body, racing heat down his arm . It's been a long time since he'd held hands with someone . Very long . There was something soothing about her touch that brought him to ease .
Minhyun took a deep breath . After years of being in the public eye, he mastered the art of compressing his feelings in an instant . All the sorrows in his eyes vanished, replaced by his normal expression .
"That is enough for today . Let us eat . The food is almost here . "
Minhyun gestured for the lady to come over . In her hands was a large black tray was their dishes . Slices of fish and other seafood were neatly placed on different white plates, alongside some original sauces .
Since Minhyun did not want to linger on the topic any longer, Yoona focused her attention to the food laid in front of her . When time would come, she would be there to listen to him .
Yoona clapped her hands together and licked her lips . Excitement to eat filled her body as she was very hungry . Her stomach was dying to be replenished .
Yoona picked up a piece with her chopsticks before sticking it into her mouth . The fish and the spicy dipping paired so well with one another that she couldn't help but shiver in happiness . "This is heaven . "
Minhyun chuckled . He could always count of Yoona to alleviate the mood . "Does it taste that good?"
"Very good," she replied . After picking up another piece and dipping it into the red sauce, she directed the food towards him . "Try it . "
Since he was very unfamiliar with these affectionate actions, he paused at first . There was something awkward about being fed food . As a grown man, who was avidly running a company, this was not an image anyone would dare imagine . However, after looking at Yoona's bright expression, he couldn't help but waver .
He took a bite . A small smile lifted on his lips . "Tastes very good . "
"Of course, I was the one that fed it to you," Yoona jokingly replied . She placed another piece in her mouth, letting the meat melt over her tongue . "Crazy good . Let's come here again . "
Minhyun leaned back on his chair with his arms crossed . He calculated the days he would be free; however, from what he could remember, it would take a while before he would have the time to drive all the way down here and spend time with her . "When I have free time again, we can come here again . "
Life as a CEO must be hard . After all, as the head of the company, his job wasn't restricted from nine to six like most . Yoona took a drink out of her water before speaking .
"I hope so . Although life was hard while I was in my youth, the seaside is a place full of good memories for me . The water would calm me down . "
She faced him and let out a giggle . "Perhaps, the seaside could become a place of good memories for you as well . "
Minhyun glanced out the window . The view of families playing alongside the water came in view . Since it was dinner time, the sun was starting to fade, painting the sky into beautiful yellows .
Once he placed attention back on Yoona, he let out a small smile . "It already is . "
