Chapter 67 The double date
On the weekend, Young-soo woke-up early in the morning; got ready, packed the things which he was needed, and place it carefully in the car’s trunk. Then he drove his car to Jeju domestic airport to pick-up Inha.
After picking-up Inha he picked-up Jaemin in his house and then they went to pick-up Da-jung. When they reach near the location of Da-jung’s house, they saw her waiting for them at the bus stop shelter, Young-soo pulled over the car near the bus stop. Jeamin got down from the car to receive her, "are you waiting for us for a long-time?"
Da-jung shook her head, "no, only a few minutes ago I arrived," she answered him and gave him a questioning look by looking at her boss Young-soo in the car.
Jaemin couldn’t guess why she’s giving him such looks, "what happened why are you looking at me like that?"
"Are we going out along with our boss?"
"Yes, but I’m sorry, I totally forget to tell you that today we are going to go on double date," he said and asked her, "we can’t park the car near the bus stop for a longer time therefore, now shall we move from here?"
She nodded her head and walked near to the car along with him. Jaemin opened the car door for her, she bowed her head to Young-soo and Inha one by one before getting in the car, and they did bow their heads in return. Once she entered in the car, Jaemin entered in, sat down next to her, and shut the car’s door.
"Shall we move?" Young-soo asked them. Both Jaemin and Da-jung nodded her heads with ’hmm.’ And Young-soo drove the car from that place. After a while he introduced Inha to Da-jung saying, "Meet my childhood friend, Park Inha." Both the ladies smiled by looking at one-another. Young-soo adjusted the car’s rear view mirror and looked at Da-jung’s reflection, as he saw that she felt so uncomfortable to travel with them, he asked her to make herself comfortable and feel free like she used to be with her friends, and even he requested her to call him oppa if she would like to call him.
"Sure, sir, I’ll try to call you as oppa as by your wish," she said with some hesitation.
Jaemin held one of her hands, intertwined his fingers with her, and put it on his thigh with a smile.
After thirty minutes of the car ride they reached the destination; it was a go-kart arena and Young-soo parked the car carefully at the parking lot of that place. Then all four of them entered in the arena, after finishing all the formalities for the ride, one of the staff members took them to the racing track. The staff member gave some basic instructions before they ride the go-kart; the couples wore the helmet on their heads, and sat down on the two seated go kart.
Before they start the race Young-soo challenged Jaemin that, the couple who has the least wining rate out of the three laps, today they should take the response to the rest of the expenses of the date.
Jaemin accepted to the challenge with a thumbs-up sigh and gets ready for the race by racing the go kart’s speed. As soon as the staff member waved the flag both the couples drove the go kart with high-speed. At the beginning Jaemin and his girlfriend was in the lead and they won the first lap, however Young-soo and Inha took the lead in the second and the third lap, and won the race. They got down of the go kart and jumped in triumph, Jaemin and Da-jung smiled at them with defeat.
Then Young-soo took them to the flea market, and for lunch he took them to the private beach area there he’s arranged a caravan camp. Both Young-soo and Jaemin prepared the lunch while the women helped the men by chopping the vegetables. Young-soo set the charcoal barbecue grill and started to grill the meat which he’s bought. After preparing the lunch, they had it together under the caravan canopy.
When they finish having the lunch it was almost 3:40 pm. Jaemin and Do-jung went for a walk together on the seashore of the beach.
Young-soo sat down on the foldable recliner chair and relaxed himself by taking a sunbath. Inha took another recliner chair from the caravan and placed it next to Young-soo. She sat down on the chair, placed her hands behind her head as a pillow, sighed deeply, "Jaemin and Da-Jung are looks so good together, aren’t they?"
"Yes, they do, I’m so happy finally my hyung has met the love of his life." Young-soo said.
"He found the love of his life, when are going to find the right woman of your life, Young-soo?"
He turned his head to her side, looked at her, and said, "Everything has been decided by God especially when it comes to life partner, so when time comes I’ll surely meet my woman, and one day I’ll lead a happy life with her."
Inha was happy to get some positive response from him because she thought he would say that he doesn’t have any plans on re-marriage. Therefore, she decided to test him more, "what will you say, if I take this date seriously and confess my love to you?"
Young-soo was startled to hear that from her, he got down from his chair, "don’t ever dare to say like that to me ever again, I’m warning you, Inha" he said sternly.

Inha got down from her chair, went near to him, and hugged him all of a sudden. Young-soo widened his eyes in surprise and quickly broke the hug. He held her shoulders, and said, "Inha, behave yourself."
Inha let her head down and wept, "Young-soo, the feeling I’m having on you is not a crush, it’s a love, and I don’t know when I have fallen in love with you. I always believe that everything is happening for a reason; even when you got divorced I felt like it has happened for a reason that I’ll come into your life as your better-half." She held one of his hands, "please try to understand me, Young-soo. I feel like I wanted to take care of you and heel the pain which was given by Eunbi."
Young-soo shut his eyes with displeased, "look Inha the feeling you have on me is not a love."
She stopped him before he finishes off on what he’s come to say, "No, it’s a love I’m not a teenager to get infatuation on you."
"Inha, will you stop interrupting me before I finish saying on what I’m trying to say," he said with fierce and paused for a few seconds. As he saw that she looks so startled, he calmed down himself by taking a deep breath, "listen Inha, You’re forcing yourself to fall in love with me, because you’ve fallen in love with me by pitying my situation. I don’t want such kind of a love. Don’t think that I’m hurting your feelings, I’m just saying you the truth. And I’m sorry if my words are hurting your feelings." He said and bowed his head, "I’ve never seen you with the thought of love, because you are my friend, so don’t spoil the purity of our friendship."
