A carefree vacation without worrying about money is truly wonderful.
I ate what I wanted and did what I liked.
But strangely, I couldn't bring myself to touch the canvas and brushes.
It's quite an interesting situation.
When I was buried in work, I hated not having ti to paint. Now that I have the ti, I find myself not reaching for them.
But that's okay.
What I need right now is to do nothing for a while.
"La la la la."
I filled the open-air bath with warm water around noon and took a bath.
Bathing outside in broad daylight was a refreshing experience. I felt so good that a hum naturally ca out.
"What should I eat for lunch today?"
Most of my als were takeout.
There are foods available for delivery, but those are things I can eat in Seoul, so I prefer to visit local restaurants and get takeout.
"Should I get so octopus?"
I thought about buying aged octopus sashimi for lunch and having octopus ran with soju in the evening.
I had seen octopus on the nu at a village of female divers I found while riding a scooter.
After bathing, I put on fresh clothes that were crisply dried by the sea breeze and bright sunlight.
Before riding my electric scooter, I covered my face with sunglasses and a mask and headed to the village of female divers, cutting through the wind.
I hung my helt on the scooter and pressed a brimd hat firmly on my head, then cautiously looked around.
There are quite a few tourists here. Moreover, it’s lunchti, so there are many visitors from out of town. I need to be careful.
About thirty tourists were in the divers' village. They all glanced at once because of my suspiciously covered face, but it didn’t seem like they recognized .
"Lady, how do you sell the rock octopus?"
A grandmother diver cleaning sea squirts in a rubber basin answered .
"Ah, 20,000 won."
"Please pack it for ."
"Do you want vegetables?"
"Yes, please include sesa oil and vinegar sauce."
"Okay, I'm a bit backed up with orders, so please sit there and wait a bit."
"Alright."
She pointed to a table.
It wasn’t for custors, but a small table near the door, probably where she rested when there were no custors.
I crossed my legs and enjoyed the view outside the door.
The village being close to the sea, watching the outside was quite enjoyable.
The distant sound of waves, the cries of seagulls, and a wide view. I thought living by the sea might be nice when I get older.
Despite the sea having taken my father.
I still like the sea.
'I'm resting well, thanks to Youngju.'
Even though it's a vacation to escape a bad situation, it feels like compensation for the hard tis.
Then, I heard the gossip of four won at a nearby table.
"Did you watch TV yesterday? Lee Jae-hyun from Super Mix, they say he’s dating Su-jin from Red Candy. Looks like they’re openly acknowledging their relationship?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I thought there was sothing fishy about them from the last variety show. They always stuck together even when they didn’t need to, so I had a feeling sothing was up."
"You always had a knack for this. Didn't you correctly predict that baseball announcer scandal a few years ago?"
"You're like a shaman, a shaman."
I chuckled at their conversation.
Do they really find it fun to gossip about celebrities even on a trip to Jeju Island?
Then, one of the won's comnts made frown.
"Hey, have you heard about Ban Jeong-hoon?"
"What, sothing about Yong-han?"
"Not that, there was an article a few days ago."
"What about?"
"That guy, you know, the CEO of the luxury brand in Italy."
"Monica?"
"Yeah."
"Wait, you don't know Monica's na? She's so hot right now. I went to the departnt store in Apgujeong the day before yesterday and bought this dress."
"The one you're wearing now?"
"Yeah, pretty, isn't it?"
"Wow, no wonder. How much is that cardigan?"
"750,000 won."
"Huh? Cheaper than I thought?"
"It's from the Aqua line. Black label cardigans go over 500."
"Ah, when can I ever wear sothing like that?"
"But what about Monica? What was the article about?"
"They say she's got sothing going on with Ban Jeong-hoon?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, the article just ntioned that there's a scandal between them, but the comnts below are insane."
"What are they saying?"
"What do you think? They're saying they're involved, so that's why she got the store design contract."
"So, it's not Ban Jeong-hoon's talent but the result of wooing a woman?"
"They say so?"
"Wow, that's quite impressive in its own way. Isn't that a skill too?"
"Right, it doesn't matter what ans you use as long as you succeed. Maybe that's why amateur painters can be overlooked?"
"Just beco famous! Even if you crap, people will applaud you!"
"Like Andy Warhol!"
"Giggle."
I clenched my fist as I listened to the won's conversation.
'That's not sothing Andy Warhol said, you ignorant people.'
And what? and Monica have sothing going on? Ha, are the attacks on still not over?
'Should I go on air and clarify?'
If I leave it as it is, irreversible stories might intensify even more fiercely.
I wanted to say sothing to the won gossiping about others, but revealing my presence here would be more troubleso, so I just clenched my fist and lowered my head.
