Chapter 37

"Can you give me a sane gift a little?!"

Darwin grunted when he and Velove had just arrived at the restaurant to eat lunch. There, the figures of Randy, Samuel, Luna, and Kalvin had already gathered there.

While Darwin was heard grumbling, Samuel also wore the same expression. From his face alone, the man looked very upset. In contrast to Randy who just laughed out loud.

"Just so you know, Win. Do you know what gift Randy and Luna gave me?"

"What did you love in the kunyk?" asked Darwin when the man turned to his cousin.

"He gave Luna a really sexy bikini. Then me?"

"What?" Darwin asked once again with a more curious expression than before.

"Really, this damn thing gave me blood pressure lowering medicine. You're being impudent!"

Randy's laughter grew louder. In fact, his laugh was contagious to Velove. Making Darwin's wife laugh too.

"I give gifts with a purpose and meaning," said Randy, still laughing. "For Luna, I deliberately gave her a bikini, because I know that she likes swimming and really likes anything related to the sea or water."

Samuel, who was sitting next to his wife, immediately chuckled. Squinting his eyes, the man replied in an annoyed tone.

"But, you don't need to give Luna all the bikinis, Ran. You know, I don't like my wife showing off her body in a bikini like this. Besides, why are you giving me all kinds of blood pressure-lowering drugs?"

"I know you like to grumble and get angry like now. Precisely because I care, that's why I give you a gift to keep your heart healthy," Randy said casually and was immediately cursed at by Samuel.

"For Darwin and Velove themselves..." continued Randy. "You don't need to be angry. Just like Samuel and Luna, my purpose in giving gifts is good. Who knows when Velove wears lingerie, the honeymoon will go smoother. Use strong medicine, so Darwin can last a long time playing. How do you know 4 days in Korea will have results? ."

Darwin clucked disapprovingly. Actually want to argue. But, since the food that the waiter had served was getting cold, he chose to enjoy the lunch menu while talking again with Samuel.

"After lunch, where are we planning to go? Take a break, or just walk around?"

Samuel, who was enjoying Ramyeon in her bowl, immediately looked up. While chewing the food in his mouth, the man replied, "Since the location is close, after eating, we will go to the Teddy Museum until the afternoon. Once done, watch the sunset first on the beach, then continue sightseeing for a while before returning to the resort to rest. Tomorrow morning- very early, we will go to Mount Hallasan to climb and see the scenery at the same time."

Initially, Darwin agreed with one by one the agenda that Samuel outlined. However, as soon as his cousin mentioned climbing, Darwin's expression immediately changed.

"Gosh, Velove and I didn't bring hiking gear, Ken," complained Darwin. After all, in his suitcase there were only three pieces of clothing that he brought.

"Don't worry," said Randy. "All needs have been prepared. Later there will be room service that will deliver jackets and shoes for climbing to your room."

Hearing Randy's answer, Darwin looked doubtful. He was worried that his mischievous cousin was back at work.

"It's really lazy if later you even get weird again," Darwin said later. "Besides, why do you use all kinds of climbing, anyway?"

"You are very suspicious. Tomorrow, we won't be climbing to the top, Win. Just choose one of the paths to see the sights. Don't you want to show Velove how good Korea is? If you only want to shop for branded goods or see buildings tall, there are also many in Jakarta. Why did we go all the way to Korea."

"What Randy said is true, Win," Velove defended after listening to Randy's lengthy explanation. Velove thought, there's nothing wrong if tomorrow they spend all day climbing the mountain to see the sights. And again, they also only had two days in Jeju. So, make the most of your time.

"In my whole life, I have never climbed a mountain at all. It must be really exciting to be able to see the natural scenery from the top of the mountains," continued the woman trying to convince her husband.

"Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"

Velove at that moment also shook his head repeatedly. "No. You take it easy. I can't even wait to hurry tomorrow."

Randi smiled happily. The agenda that he and Samuel had prepared was fully supported by Velove. The rest assure Darwin that everything will go according to their plan.

"Well, what did I say. Velove is just really excited. Never mind, there's no need to be afraid or protest too much, Win. Anyway, you just have to prepare your bodies and stamina. After climbing, we'll go straight back to Seoul and spend the rest of the vacation time there. "

Darwin took a deep breath. After everyone at the dinner table convinced him, he couldn't help but agree with all the plans that had been prepared.

"That's it. I'll follow what you say."

After eating lunch, they all rushed to go to the iconic Teddy Bear museum on Jeju Island. From everyone, Darwin could see how Velove was so enthusiastic about entering the museum.

As he knows, his wife is so crazy about the bear-shaped doll. Not to mention that in the museum there are indeed various kinds of Teddy bears that are deliberately dressed up in the style of famous people or icons such as Monalisa, the actors of the Korean drama series. There are the iconic Winter Sonata series, Boys Over Flowers, or Teddy Bear wearing clothes from well-known brands made by Luis Vuitton or American designers.

"Win, can you take this doll home or not? I really want it. Everything is cute. Especially the one that looks like Gujunpyo aka Lee Min Ho. I swear I want to take it home as a keepsake, please."

Darwin smiled and shook his head. In his eyes, Velove looked very much like a whining child, asking to buy gifts.

"Where can you buy what's on display, Ve. Especially for private collections, there is a shop outside the museum. You can choose to take it home."

"Seriously, anyone?"

Darwin nodded.

"Yes. When you get out of here, I'll take you to the shop. Please choose for yourself which Teddy doll you want to collect or make as a souvenir."

"You bought it?" asked Velove, winking playfully. Deliberately baiting her husband into buying things that he really likes.

"Yes," nodded Darwin. "Don't worry. I'll buy the doll later."

Velvet laughed heartily. It's really nice to hear what Darwin just said. While continuing to walk around, all of them enjoyed every collection that was presented.

As soon as he was about to leave the museum area, Darwin kept what he said before. The man was happy to take Velove to one of the biggest tenants who provide Teddy Bear dolls in various shapes and sizes.

"There are so many. I'm so confused to choose. All are beautiful," Velove muttered while looking at the collection of dolls in front of his eyes one by one.

"Yes, you choose which one is the best, Ve."

"Buy two can, right?" asked Velove to make sure.

"If it's only two, that's fine," said Darwin, nodding. "As long as you don't just buy two sacks. After all, just because they're all good, then you buy them all. That's not the concept."

Velove giggled. I don't know what was on his mind at that time, instead he suddenly pinched Darwin's cheeks with exasperation.

"Yes, nag. I'm not crazy either, buying up to two sacks of dolls."

Velove then started selecting dolls to complete their collection. Then the woman's choice fell on a medium-sized Teddy bear couple, shaped like princes and princesses from the kingdom of the Joseon era.

"I just want this couple."

Darwin turned his head. Noticing the doll that Velove pointed at, the man then made sure.

"Are you sure it's just these two? There's nothing else to add?"

"Two are enough, really," said Velove. "Then, you can custom name the clothes, right?"

Darwin nodded.

"You can. Later, just ask the clerk to make a screen printing of the name as you requested."

Velove then rushed to the cashier's counter. After paying, the woman immediately handed over the doll she had just bought to the clerk in charge of the screen printing.

Because he was not fluent in Korean, Darwin was the one who helped order the screen printing that Velove wanted.

"How do you want it written?" asked Darwin before giving a request to the screen printing officer in front of him.

"Ask me to write my name on the female doll. Then your name on the male doll."

Darwin gasped when he heard Velove's request. It didn't occur to him that his wife would bother buying a pair of dolls.

And now, instead one of them was engraved with his name on it.

"My name? Why not just your name?"

Velvet clucked. Why did her husband use to ask questions that shouldn't be questioned.

"The dolls are a couple, Win. Can't you use all my names? Besides, because my current husband is you, is it true that if I write my husband's name on the boy's teddy. Or do you want me to just write Nathan's name on his shirt?"

"Eh, don't... don't..." Darwin said loudly. "It's just delicious, why do you even bring up Nathan's name?"

"Yes, that's why. It's really true that your name is printed, right?"

At the same second, without much further talk, the man immediately gave orders to the screen printing officer. Ask them to immediately print their name right on the male Teddy doll's clothes.

***

In a different place, Vicky Rose seemed to walk gracefully into a cafe. After attending a company birthday party a few days ago, he did decide not to go straight home.

Vicky, chose to stay a few nights. Apart from wanting to visit his aunt, he also has plans to meet some old friends.

And tonight, before returning to Borneo tomorrow, Vicky accidentally accepts an offer to meet someone. As soon as he entered the cafe and arrived at a table, he was immediately greeted friendly by the person who invited him.

"Sorry if I took a while. Coincidentally, there was a bit of traffic jam on the road earlier."

"Don't worry," said the figure in front of him. Reviewing a smile, then invited Vicky to sit down. "What would you like to order something to drink and eat?" he offered later.

Vicky shook his head. At this time, he was indeed still very full so that he was not interested in eating food.

"Just one vanilla milkshake."

"Don't you want some food?"

Again Vicky shook her head.

"Thank you. Just a drink. And after this, please explain what exactly is your purpose in inviting me to meet you as you are now."

A sigh sounded clear in Vicky's ear. One minute later, the person who invited him began to explain slowly.

"Actually, I invited you here because I wanted to invite you to work together."

Vicky's forehead immediately furrowed.

"Cooperation?" he repeated with a look of do not understand. "Cooperation on what basis?"

"In order to separate Darwin from Velove. I'm sure, you must really love it and don't want to lose your boyfriend, right?"

Vicky immediately nodded. She said yes to the question of love and did not want to lose Darwin from her side in the slightest. Either way, he really loves his girlfriend.

"Indeed, what kind of cooperation is meant?" asked Vicku asking for more explanation.

So at that very moment, Vicky's interlocutor began to explain all the problems in a coherent and concise manner. Delivering various kinds of offers, up to plans for cooperation that might be carried out if an agreement is reached between the two.

"How? Do you agree with the offer and plan that I have arranged?"

Instead of answering, Vicky fell silent. His brain is busy thinking and weighing whether he should accept what has just been offered to him. Or refuse flatly and choose to continue to survive until Darwin's divorce comes and then return to his side.
