Chapter 3: Understands the tricks but doesn't play by them.
"...Won't this make my double chin look obvious?"
At the entrance of Udo Bus Station, Shen Yu and Cui Zhixiu tacitly bought bus pass packages.
Seeing that Shen Yu had lowered the camera somewhat, Cui Zhixiu couldn't help but question his professionalism.
After all, on the way here together, this guy mentioned many times that "he's a professional" and that he's "very good at taking portraits."
"This? I didn't use this to take the picture." Shen Yu waved the Pocket 3 in his hand. "I used a camera. I brought a camera with me."
"oh."
Choi Jisoo hid outside the camera's view.
What are you doing?
"Huh? I'm in a hurry." Choi Ji-soo looked anxious, but the bus runs on a fixed schedule. No matter how much you're in a hurry, you don't need to circle around the bus stop, right?
Shen Yu and the camera followed him.
"I'm in a hurry too."
"..."
The two started another race walk at the bus stop.
then.
"what!"
"Oops, sorry! Did I kick you?"
"I just tripped, yes, you kicked me," the girl said with a smile.
There was no anger or embarrassment; it was just the kind of fun that comes from playfully teasing each other.
Even though Shen Yu accidentally kicked her, Choi Ji-soo still found it to be a very interesting experience.
A small mark remained on her fair calf, which she patted down, not paying any attention to.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Shen Yu clasped his hands together and apologized repeatedly.
"Okay, okay, you almost broke my leg!" Choi Ji-soo said exaggeratedly.
joke.
"I'm so sorry." The two of them stood back down in front of the bus stop. Shen Yu raised his leg. "Why don't you kick it back?"
"It's okay," Choi Jisoo smiled, and to outsiders, the two looked like a couple playfully bickering.
"Well, how about this? I'll take a picture for you as an apology."
This shows that even if there are no difficulties, you can create difficulties yourself.
"Huh?" Choi Ji-soo looked into Shen Yu's eyes. "Seriously, who got the better deal, you or me?"
"You definitely made money!" Shen Yu replied quickly. "I'm a professional, okay? I charge others for taking photos, okay?"
"Pfft..." Unable to suppress her laughter, Choi Jisoo instinctively covered her face in a tactical manner. "Okay, you're a professional."
She picked up her phone and said, "Hey, Siri."
"Here I am."
"What should I do if someone keeps following me and tries to take my picture?"
"Should I call the police for you? The police's phone number is...?"
"..." Shen Yu watched as she openly asked the phone assistant this question.
"No, no, there's no need to call the police." Choi Ji-soo quickly stopped the phone from ringing.
"Then let's take another route, with more turns, so we can avoid them..."
Shen Yu stared at her phone, and Choi Ji-soo felt the gaze turn to the tall boy beside her.
Then the bus arrived.
Choi Ji-soo ran to the very back of the tourists boarding the bus.
Shen Yu followed after him relentlessly.
After getting on the bus, Choi Ji-soo found a window seat.
Shen Yu happened to catch up and sat down next to her.
"..."
Shen Yu was still holding the camera, as if it were yet another chance encounter.
"What a coincidence."
"..." For some reason, Choi Ji-soo couldn't help but burst into laughter whenever she heard Shen Yu speak.
Perhaps I had suppressed my emotions too much before.
"Oh, driver, thank you for waiting for us."
Several older women then boarded the bus, apparently because they hadn't been able to find the bus stop earlier.
"It's alright, please take your time."
But after they got on the bus, there were no seats left.
At this moment, Shen Yu nudged Cui Zhixiu's arm with his elbow, "Let's give the aunties a seat, they look like they're having a hard time."
"Yes." Choi Ji-soo stood up and, along with Shim Woo, received thanks from the two aunts.
The car started moving.
The two of them didn't go anywhere else, but just stood there next to their aunts.
The aunties took out their phones to take pictures. They snapped a quick shot of what was happening outside the window before turning the camera to Shen Yu and Cui Zhixiu, who were standing to the side.
The main reason is that both of them are very good-looking.
Shen Yu saw the camera and generously made a small heart gesture. Choi Ji-soo, who was standing next to him, suppressed a laugh and made a heart gesture as well, not to be outdone.
The aunt taking the photos nodded happily to the two of them, "Oh, are you tourists from Busan?"
"No, I came from Seoul."
"Yeah, me too." Choi Ji-soo glanced at Shen Yu, because Shen Yu spoke with a regional accent, and she thought he was from somewhere else.
"Wow, you two look so good together."
My aunt automatically imagined the young couple's story.
Choi Ji-soo didn't try to explain to her aunts, saying, "No, no, we were just standing together."
"Huh? Haha, yes, we are indeed standing together." Shen Yu looked at Choi Ji-soo beside him.
The vehicle is small, with limited standing space, and it will pick up passengers who are unable to walk along the way.
The bus quickly filled up with more people. Choi Ji-soo held onto the handrail, and Shen Yu stepped aside to help her create some space.
The roads on Udo Island are in good condition, but the driver was driving a bit shaky.
Although Choi Ji-soo was gripping tightly, she still leaned against Shen Yu's arm from time to time.
"It's a bit crowded on the bus."
"It is indeed a bit crowded."
"The car was swaying a bit; I felt the driver brake suddenly, and then I lurched towards him."
"Then don't brake."
The temperature between the two of them rose a little.
They would occasionally exchange glances and smiles, accompanied by the swaying of the little bus.
"The driver was deliberately driving very erratically," Shen Yu explained when he saw Choi Ji-soo leaning on his arm at one point.
"I think so too," Choi Ji-soo agreed.
Shen Yu nodded, "Indeed, I think the driver did a good job."
The two of them walked along the bus in this slightly awkward and ambiguous manner.
"Oh dear... it's really a bit narrow. Do you like riding in such a small bus?" Choi Ji-soo asked, trying to find a topic to talk about.
"Oh, me?"
Shen Yu lowered his head unintentionally, as if because of the swaying of the bus.
Then, Choi Ji-soo whispered something in her ear through her hair.
"I like riding it, I like taking this bus every day."
The ambiguous atmosphere intensified, and Choi Jisoo's mind went blank for a moment.
A magnetic voice and a perceptible presence, and...
"Young man, may I take your picture?"
The aunt behind them seemed to have taken another picture of the two of them together.
That was when the two looked at each other.
"Haha, okay, Auntie, remember to make me look handsome in the photos."
The aunt eased the awkwardness, which Shen Yu thought was quite good.
"Wow, young man, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were a TV star! You're very handsome, and your wife is beautiful too!"
The arranged marriage, a peculiar practice unique to middle-aged and elderly aunts, has arrived.
"Ah, not my wife, not my wife."
No, no.
The two of them explained together.
"Friend, friend," Shen Yu quickly changed his form of address.
"Oh, your girlfriend." My aunt's understanding was beyond my expectations.
