The cold of the night is getting into the skin. The late, the more crowded fishing area even though the cold no less want to dominate the night. The sizable fishing area was filled with middle-aged men.
They are alone, alone, or in groups. They put up a tent or come with a tent from a car. Although this is rural, but those who fish here seem to come from the city.
“Excuse me? Do you want to rent a tent here? We provide tent rentals.”, said a man promoting his business.
It turns out that in addition to traditional grocery stores, there are also tent rentals. The writing is blurred so it is not so visible at night.
“Ah.. or are you looking for lodging? A little way from here there are several houses that also provide night accommodation. The place is very comfortable. If lucky, they can also provide dinner.”, the man who looks in his 30s continues to offer in a friendly tone.
From a distance he saw Daehyun just standing in front of the car. Daeun followed shortly after but was not willing to take his place next to Daehyun. He chose to stand at the door.
Cold indeed. But he found it strange to be in the car alone. Besides, he also wanted to know Daehyun's current expression.
“For now not yet. Thank you for the offer.”, said Daehyun politely declined.
Daeun smiled as the man who had offered the tent passed in front of her. He immediately turned to a car that looked like he had just come to the location. A very long night for him. Offer to all visitors politely but optimistically.
Daeun tried little by little to peek at Daehyun's facial expression. But he can't see it.
‘Why is he overreacting like this? I haven't even had a chance to ask her where she knows I'm there.’, Daeun murmured in frustration.
It wasn't that he wasn't grateful to Daehyun. It was just that this situation confused him.
‘I know he saved me. Ahhh if you think about it - think again, my legs are still shaking.’, Daeun thought.
‘Is he still angry? Why not just go home. Why stop here. He can't drive at night. Wait, he has no filming schedule, what?’, Daeun arrives - suddenly immediately remembered on Daehyun's schedule.
“Emm... excuse me... Daehyun-shi?”, Daeun slowly tries to call Daehyun.
The man did not flinch at all. Daeun let out a very small voice as she was that scared to deal with Daehyun right now.
“Daehyun-shi.. are we not going back now? Don't you still have a schedule tomorrow?”, asked Daeun trying to talk to him slowly.
“Ahjussi... Ahjussi...”, call Daehyun arrive - arrive in a loud voice.
Daeun was even surprised. Instead of answering or responding to Daeun, Daehyun instead walked over to the person who had offered the tent.
“I want to rent a tent. Is there a big size? For two people.”, explained Daehyun.
“Oh.. Let's. I'll put it up for you too. You want to choose which spot?”, the man who has offered to many people was very excited because there were two people who wanted to rent his tent equipment.
“Ahjussi, do you also provide the inside. Like a thin bed and a blanket. It's so cold in here. I'm not sure I can get through tonight well.”, Daehyun said.
“Oh.. You don't need a blanket. Aren't you with your lover?”, said the man teasingly.
“Huh. Just give me the blanket and the heater. Besides, why should I order two tents if she is my lover.”, Daehyun said.
Daeun did not hear their conversation because Daehyun and the man were far away from Daeun who was still faithfully standing in front of Daehyun's car.
He wanted to follow but he was scared enough to get close to Daehyun right now. He will also return.
Daehyun then followed the man to pick up his tent.
Again, Daehyun did not answer. He speaks a thousand languages.
‘Hah.. does he want to torture me? Am I transparent?’, Daeun grumbled inwardly.
Rather than being left behind in the car, Daeun chose to follow Daehyun who was walking towards the house beside the grocery store.
“Ah.. It looks like only one.”, said the man arrived - suddenly made Daehyun surprised.
“Huh? Didn't you offer it to a lot of people? I thought you had a lot of.”, Daehyun protested.
“Look.. Hyang offers not only me alone, but also my son, wife, and sister.”, the man said.
“How do I know if it turns out they have managed to offer a lot to visitors.”, the man can only give a reason that makes Daehyun geleng - head bobble.
“Daehyun-shi.. You want to stay here? In the tent? Why come - arrive? How random. Shouldn't we just go home now?”, said Daeun pulling a little sleeve Daehyun.
“Thanks to you, I forgot to fill up my car.”, Daehyun finally said.
“Huh? You joke. Ahjussi, there must be someone around here who sells gasoline, right?”, asked Daeun.
The man shook his head.
“There are only about 5 km from here? And it's also closed at this hour. You can go there tomorrow morning at 10.”, said the man.
“Eh?”, Daeun was astonished - wonder made.
“Ahjussi, yes already, I rented that one tent. But I want two beds and enough blankets. Can you make a campfire?”, asked Daehyun.
“Hm. I will make a heater in front of your tent. But there is an additional cost.”, said the man smiling.
“Take it easy. No problem.”, Daehyun said.
The man swiftly assisted by his sister brought the camping equipment to the spot designated by Daehyun.
Spot that is not too close to the pool,. Not too many trees to avoid mosquitoes, and the highest place for fear of rain.
This fishing area already has a neat tent mat so that the man can easily install it. Not half an hour, it's all done. He only needed to light the warmers and also a campfire in front of the tent to help warm up.
“Daehyun-shi, you don't think we're going to sleep together inside, do you?”, Daeun asked slowly, making sure the two men who were setting the heating machine didn't hear it.
“Huh... You think I'm crazy? There are others outside and inside. I've asked for two mattresses and enough warmers and blankets, you don't have to worry.”, explained Daehyun.
“Do not do that. You're a celebrity, tomorrow you're gonna have to shoot. How about you get sick. Let me just be outside.”, Daeun said immediately as Daehyun tidied up the bed on the outside.
“Indeed you're outside? Wh why? You think you're the one sleeping inside? Sorry, I could at least get hit by the night breeze what more mosquito.”, Daehyun said.
The outside of the tent can actually be said to still be part of the tent. Outside the main tent, there is still a lid shaped like a mosquito net. Daeun wasn't entirely outside, but she wasn't in a single room with Daeun either. There is a main room door cover that separates them.
“Aaa.. ha-ha.”, Daeun smiled clumsyly as she was already overconfident.
