A/N: Second, but shorter, update for the day! This will end on a cliffhanger but be patient with me!

"Yoon Seri, come back here!"
Ri Jeong Hyeok was desperately calling out to the woman who was currently frolicking in the water, giggling her heart out as if the waves hitting her calves were the most amazing discovery in the world.
They were chatting away as they walked along the shore when she found the water temperature tempting. Before he knew what was in her head, she dropped her shorts and ran into the sea.
Which is why he was now yelling out to her to come out of the water, holding her discarded shorts in the air. "It's cold! You'll get sick!"
When she turned to face him, she again took his breath away.

"It's not cold!" she declared. "Come on! Join me! Drop those shorts, Professor Ri!"
"No! Insects might come in your pockets and then bite you," he shouted back, so she could hear him over the sound of the waves.
"Drop YOUR shorts!" Seri clarified, laughing at his horrified face. Using is stammering attempt to give a witty comeback as a reason to observe his outfit, Seri confirmed what she had wanted to know since she saw him again: Ri Jeong Hyeok was so cute in casual wear.

Even back when they were still in University, she rarely saw Jeong Hyeok in shorts outdoors, so she wanted to enjoy this moment and commit it to memory.
"What? Why are you not speaking? Are you okay? Did something bite you? Yoon Seri!" he was rambling on now.
Seri giggled, her heart fluttering. Some things never changed and her man was still as attentive as ever. "I'm fine! I'm just checking out this cute guy I saw!"
He made a face. "You're looking at other men while I'm here?! WHERE IS HE?"
"THERE!" Seri pointed in his direction. Jeong Hyeok's incensed face immediately changed into an embarrassed smile when he realized she was referring to him. "The guy is totally my type. Do you think I could get him to go out with me?"
