All the members of the group, who have recharged their energy, start moving down with enthusiasm. Just as Choi Min Soo mentioned, suddenly the previously sunny weather shifts to overcast and cold.
Mysteriously, fog appears along the way. Kennedy, Randy, and Darwin's group even stop for about 15 minutes at the first checkpoint.
After confirming a somewhat safe condition and making sure to stay ahead of any rain, they hurry to continue on to the next checkpoint.
However, after only an hour of descending, the fog returns, even thicker than before. As a result, their visibility is significantly reduced for a while. After proceeding cautiously, the entire group eventually reaches the last checkpoint.
"Sir, how long does it take to reach the entrance gate?" Kennedy inquires, making sure.
"About 15 to 20 minutes."
Kennedy nods in understanding. To check on the rest
"Mr Darwin, are you sure you want to start hiking without waiting for the arrival of the officials first?" Choi asked Darwin in a thick Korean accent. Currently, they were gathered for a discussion. Darwin, who was extremely worried, nodded firmly. He thought he couldn't delay any longer to search for his wife. He was really anxious that something bad might happen if he didn't look for Veronica's whereabouts up there soon. In an instant, the image of his wife being frightened crossed Darwin's mind. Especially since he knew that Veronica was climbing for the first time. Surely, up there, his wife would be in a state of panic and fear. Especially now that it was getting darker. "I can't wait any longer, sir. Like I said before, I know this track well. Even if we go back to climbing through the ascent route, it will take more time. Besides, my wife got lost on the descent trail. It's better if we directly follow the p
"Sean, are you seriously not worried about Veronica going to Korea this time?" This morning, Deasy and Sean were indeed engaging in physical activities to make the most of their remaining two days of vacation. At a fitness center, they spent time doing cardio and various other small exercises. "What do you think I should do, Des?" "Well, you could call her. Prevent or try to do something about it, you know. So Veronica doesn't get closer to Darwin." Instead of responding seriously to Deasy's statement, Sean chuckled softly. Just by looking at his face, it was evident that he was quite relaxed. There was no hint of concern whatsoever, unlike Deasy, who had been visibly anxious all this time. "Des, I really love Veronica. But right now, I'm nobody to her. So, it's impossible for me to suddenly call and forbid her from doing things I don't like." Dea
After resting for a few hours and having dinner at Kennedy's house, Darwin decided to take Veronica to his own residence. Since Celina had to return to work earlier, Kennedy, Luna, and Randy accompanied the couple in their move.Upon arriving at his private residence, Darwin chose to have Veronica put their belongings in the room first. After taking turns freshening up, they decided to head back downstairs. Approaching and joining their cousins who were relaxing in the living room."So, where are you sleeping tonight, Randy?" Darwin asked. Among all of them, only he didn't have a private house in Korea.Randy sighed. He had been struggling to decide where to sleep tonight."I think I'll just stay at a hotel. I don't want to impose on you guys. I'd end up feeling envious since you both get to sleep with your respective partners.""That's why you should find a wife. It's useless to
"I'll repeat my question, don't you want to making love with me?" For a few moments, Darwin was left speechless, staring intently at Veronica's face. His wife was clearly speaking casually, as if inviting him to play a game as casually as inviting him to the market. It sounded so effortless and without the slightest burden. Could this be happening because Veronica was under the influence of alcohol? "You'd better go to sleep." Instead of accepting his wife's offer, Darwin gave a command. He then slowly guided Veronica to lie down. "Win... I'm serious." "Do you think what I just commanded was a joke?" Darwin replied with a serious expression as Veronica now lay down. From Darwin's perspective, he heard Veronica sigh deeply. Even her face now had a slight pout. Perhaps she was annoyed because Darwin rejected her invitation. "A
Whether by coincidence or destined to bring bad luck, once again Veronica found herself in trouble. While shopping with Luna, she somehow got separated from Kennedy's wife.Initially, Veronica tried to contact Luna or Darwin. However, as soon as she took her smartphone out of her bag, she realized it had run out of battery. She hadn't had time to fully charge it that morning.In a panic and not knowing the way to the cafe where her husband was gathering, Veronica tried to keep walking while looking around. She hoped that Kennedy, Randy, and Darwin were looking for her at the moment.She also didn't remember the name of the cafe where Darwin was meeting. And her limited grasp of the Korean language, along with the fact that most vendors there didn't speak English very well, made it difficult for her to ask for help from the people around.With anxiety, Veronica kept trying to locate Darwin. She was on
In the end, today Darwin and Veronica returned to Indonesia. The plane they boarded is scheduled to depart around 3:30 PM South Korea time.With plenty of time left, Veronica decided to go to the shopping center first to buy some souvenirs. Her plan was to share these gifts with friends and a few colleagues at the office.Remembering that they got lost yesterday and even came close to being lost, Darwin decided to accompany her. He didn't want any unfortunate incidents to happen again or to befall his wife."What are you looking to get?" Darwin asked once they arrived in Myeongdong. Since it was the nearest and most comprehensive location, they decided to look for souvenirs there."I think I'm going to buy a wallet and some famous Korean perfumes," Veronica replied as they entered one of the largest accessory stores in Myeongdong.Darwin went along with it. The man patiently and
After a seven-hour flight, Darwin and Veronica finally made it without any trouble. They arrived in Jakarta right at 8:30 PM.Being picked up by a driver, they headed straight home. While Darwin freshened up, Veronica decided to tidy up some of the items in their suitcases and then moved them into the closet. She was the type of woman who couldn't sleep if she saw the room still in a messy state."I'm done. Now, you can take a shower," Darwin suggested as he walked out of the bathroom."Yeah, just a moment. Almost done. I want to organize your clean clothes first.""It's okay, it's easy. I'll take care of the rest later."Darwin couldn't possibly forget Veronica's complaints and nagging throughout the journey back. Although Veronica had taken a shower before heading to the airport earlier that day, she still felt sticky. Moreover, Darwin knew very well that his wife couldn't slee
Many people believe that the moment or memory of one's first love is something that might be difficult to forget. However, Darwin is quite different.Ever since getting married and now becoming close with Veronica, Darwin has started experiencing things he considers quite remarkable. Despite only being together for a short while, he vividly remembers everything – the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad moments he's shared with his wife.Until now, Darwin believed that the moments he spent with Vivian were the best. Not a single day could pass without him being in contact with his beloved.However, after getting to know Veronica, his thoughts gradually changed. Darwin, who was initially tormented, slowly started to forget. In fact, now he's slowly becoming accustomed to life without Vivian by his side.Darwin and Veronica's marriage isn't an ordinary one.
