Kaya clicked her tongue and shook her head. Jo Minjoon frowned. When he played with his younger cousins, he tended to be the one that fell to these childish plays. He was like that when he was with Kaya. Although he didn’t know if that was good or bad……..
“I’m going to do some exercise. Leave.”
“You are really going to exercise? You didn’t until now. Why, because I teased you?”
“Do I look like a kid to you? Who will exercise just because someone makes fun of me?”
“There’s nothing wrong with being a kid, and it hasn’t been long since you stopped being a teen. How about you also stop acting like an adult?”
At that moment, he did get angry, but he didn’t want to get swept up in her phase. For her, it hasn’t been long since he stopped being a teen, but that wasn’t the case. Because originally, he had lived until his thirties. It was an age where he shouldn’t do childish things.
“It hasn’t been long until I came back from the army. My body isn’t that bad.”
“Army? You were a soldier?”
Kaya opened her eyes roundly. She looked like she had never imagined it, because he had never told anyone that he had gone to the army. Jo Minjoon slightly rolled his eyes.
“Yeah. And I also fired a gun and got training.”
There was no need to say that he was from the administrative part of the army. So Jo Minjoon made up those last words. Kaya rolled her eyes with a confused face as if she had got a shock at the unexpected reality and then she asked in a careful voice.
“Then you did it?”
“What?”
“That…….. Ki……. no, if you shot a person.”
Even if she was trying not to show it, her big eyes were showing a light he had never seen before. And there was a lot of unnecessary hand gestures. Was it because of that? That even if he knew that it was childish, he wanted to tease her more. This man that was once 30 years old, replied with a really meaningful voice.
“Korea is a ceasefire country.”
Honestly speaking, she didn’t know what he was talking about. Kaya was weak with words that were hitting around the bush. Was there no way that they wouldn’t fire a gun because it was a ceasefire country, or precisely because it was such a country that there would be cases as that. Just listening to the weight of his voice, it seemed to be the latter case.
‘Is it difficult for him to reply?’
It was understandable for her to think like that. She was embarrassed to show that she didn’t comprehend. Kaya opened her eyes clearly and said.
“I don’t think about that in a bad way even if it did happen. I understand.”
“Thanks.”
Jo Minjoon smirked. Just what in the world was she thinking about. He wondered if she was thinking of Korea as a dangerous environment such as the Middle East. He didn’t know when he should clear the misunderstanding, and when he was going to be hit by annoyed punches.
‘Let’s worry about that later…….. First, let’s do some exercise.’
However, Jo Minjoon doing exercise that day didn’t happen. Even before he grabbed a dumbbell, the staff approached and yelled.
“We are moving to the mission place. Everybody prepare and come to the garage!”
