As Sunwoo and Kang Jinwook sat across from each other at the table in the yard, they each picked up an ear of corn and began eating without a word.

Throughout it, Sunwoo kept glancing at Kang Jinwook. He hadn’t expected him to actually eat the corn, but to his surprise, Kang Jinwook ate it without saying anything.

Soon, Kang Jinwook finished his first ear and grabbed another. Sunwoo noticed they were only eating corn—nothing else.

"Uh, should I bring some water or something?"

Sunwoo, who hadn’t thought of it until now, hesitated to speak. It felt strange, like something wasn’t quite right. It wasn’t like he had never eaten with someone else before.

"No, it’s fine. I’ll get it."

Kang Jinwook stood as if to stop him.

"No, no. Sit down. I’ll go," Sunwoo replied, flustered, and quickly stood up.

He went inside the house and poured water from a bottle. Since he hadn’t chilled it, it was lukewarm. After a moment of hesitation, he grabbed a few ice cubes from the freezer—something he’d kept in stock for the peach iced tea he’d been making at home recently.@@novelbin@@

Thinking for a second, Sunwoo grabbed the peaches he had placed on the shelf and went back outside. By the time he returned, Kang Jinwook had finished the second ear of corn.

Sunwoo couldn’t help but think that this scene—Kang Jinwook eating corn—was like a dramatic meeting of the city and countryside. It made him chuckle to himself.

"You still like peaches."

"Huh?"

Sunwoo flinched when he placed the peaches on the table. He’d been thinking about Kang Jinwook just now, so he was caught off guard.
