After the quick meal, Yernia and Cassian left the kitchen and headed for the deck.

“I’m hungry.”

Yernia eventually cried at the never-ending prank.

That was when Cassian decided to stop.

Turning serious, Cassian cooked pasta for her with great care.

Yernia continued to cry from the pasta’s tastelessness.

How could her husband offer her something this gross?

Cassian seemed honestly surprised at seeing her cry while eating it.

“Is it that good that you’re shedding tears of joy? Please eat slowly, Yernia.”

“It’s not good! Hmm. It’s not——!”

When Cassian tasted some of the pasta, his face darkened in an instant.

Then, he threw the food he had just cooked and prepared some toast for her to eat.

It was so delicious that she cried as she ate them.

As he watched the tears streaming down her face, Cassian laughed like a madman.

“Have you gone mad?”

“Hell yes, I’m mad.”

When her stomach grew full, she couldn’t seem to digest the food this time, so she stood by the deck while holding Cassian’s hand.

The cool breeze brushing against her skin made her reveal what was inside her heart.

“You know? I think we fight a lot more after getting married.” Yernia enjoyed watching the beautiful sea as the bright moon shone upon its dark waters. “I don’t want to fight you, so I hope we work this out soon.”

To see the night scenery up close, Yernia approached the railing and twisted her ankle.

Her heart sank from her unsteady legs.

“I don’t like it either.” Cassian agreed as the ocean breeze caused his hair strands to fly in different directions.

Conscious of the man beside her, Cassian circled an arm around her waist to catch her when she was about to fall.

Yernia instinctively grabbed Cassian’s arm and straightened her spine.

“If I fight you, I’m the only one who loses.”

“From now on, I’ll try my best to not piss you off.”

Cassian’s low yet pleasant voice broke through the crashing waves.

“…….”

“It’s not my intention to fight you but I can’t seem to——I don’t want you to….”

Cassian trailed off  refusing to continue.

What did he want to tell her?

Yernia felt like running away from there to escape her uncomfortable position.

“You are precious to me, Yernia.”

How strange for Cassian to say that!

“You’re so precious that it’s hard for me to be honest. I’m afraid you’ll run away from me.”

She couldn’t make a rational judgment at the moment because she couldn’t understand what he was talking about.

Did he mean she was precious to him as a childhood friend because he didn’t want her to avoid him due to her self-consciousness?

Cassian, who was searching Yernia’s face, lowered his gaze to her lips.

He watched it for a long time, making her assume that he wanted to kiss her right then and there.

Maybe, he wanted her to guide him.

Yernia closed her eyes when she saw him approach a bit more.

Despite waiting for him for more than a minute, her lips weren’t still thoroughly kissed.

Instead, Cassian helped Yernia upright and whispered, “Open your eyes, Yernia.”

So, her husband’s aim wasn’t to kiss her in the first place.

She even shut her eyes in anticipation.

How embarrassing!

There’s no way an intelligent guy like Cassian wouldn’t realize that she was waiting for his mouth to crash against hers.

“Oh, I’m feeling seasick.” Yernia stumbled on purpose and walked away from him. “I think I got dust in my eyes, as well.”

Yernia felt so ashamed that she either want to die or go to a place where Cassian didn’t exist.

Warmth flushed her cheeks when he grabbed her forearm.

Not allowing him to speak or ask her questions, she threw each word as if it was a sharp knife. “I wasn’t thinking about kissing you at all. I was having a headache.”

“Who asked you about that?”

“Let me go.”

Cassian spun Yena around and she immediately wanted to cry when he saw his lopsided grin.

Her ears were hot, her heart was a mess, and she wanted to bury herself inside a hole.

“I’m going somewhere.”

As Yernia struggled to twist her forearm from his hold, Cassian hugged her from behind.

She stiffened.

“Look above you.”

She obeyed him like a good little girl.

A little later, Yernia’s eyes widened in surprise at the meteors falling through the atmosphere.

The glowing silver stars seemed to jump into the dark sea.

How was this possible when she saw no sign of a falling meteor earlier?

“Wow! It’s so pretty!”

The scene caught Yernia’s full attention as goosebumps rose from the expanse of her skin.

She was completely captivated that she couldn’t take her eyes off the bright meteors falling from the night sky.

The crashing sea waves tickling her ears and the warm and heavy presence behind her back was the icing to the cake.

Looking at Cassian over her shoulder, she saw him looking at her, too.

When their gazes met, he could tell she was overjoyed at his surprise.

“I knew that a meteor shower would happen tonight.”

“How did you know?”

“I’m determined to make a wish on something I’ve been wishing for everyday. This is why I wanted to witness it again.”

“What’s your wish about?”

She wondered how desperate his wish was that he remembered the next meteor shower’s exact date.

“You.”

“What?”

Cassian smiled and gently tapped Yernia’s forehead.

“Aren’t you going to make a wish?”

“Oh! That’s right.”

Only then did Yernia put her hands together and closed her eyes.

Cassian hugged Yernia from behind and locked their fingers together.

“Please make me, Cassian and the rest, happy.”’

Unfortunately, it was impossible for everyone to be happy.
