Chapter 76

However...

While Ham Eun-jung pouted, Yoon Hyun held his ground.

"Princess, I still need to say what needs to be said. Do you plan to deceive me for the rest of your life?" Yoon Hyun said in a deep, serious tone.

Ham Eun-jung was taken aback. After realizing that pouting was completely useless...

She simply ignored Yoon Hyun and walked away on her own...

When pouting didn't work, she immediately turned to being proud and aloof...

Whose script is this? It's a 24K pure trap...

Yoon Hyun made a helpless gesture to the VJ filming and then followed her.

"Are you angry?" Yoon Hyun looked at the expressionless Ham Eun-jung.

Ham Eun-jung huffed and ignored Yoon Hyun.

Yoon Hyun lowered his voice and said to Ham Eun-jung, "It's for the show's effect... What am I supposed to do with you like this?"

"Is the show's effect about digging into people's privacy?" Ham Eun-jung retorted.

"You could just tell a ridiculous lie, and I'll find the flaws, then you cover them up... This back-and-forth would make it entertaining. Or you could just come up with a big, explosive lie..." Yoon Hyun started giving Ham Eun-jung a lesson on variety shows.

"Then wouldn't you just keep纠缠我 (bothering me) endlessly?" Ham Eun-jung looked disbelieving.

"Why would I bother you? You're not really my wife. Besides, even if you were, why would I dwell on your past? You're already mine, so why would I make myself unhappy over trivial matters?" Yoon Hyun countered.

Perhaps Yoon Hyun's argument was indeed convincing, or perhaps Ham Eun-jung realized that her sudden action of walking away was a bit... inappropriate, so she nodded.

"Let's go, shall we? We can take the cable car up?" Ham Eun-jung pointed to the cable car nearby and said to Yoon Hyun.

"Directly up? Shouldn't you teach me first? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stand..." Yoon Hyun put on a slightly worried expression.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the slope isn't steep, you won't die from falling..." Ham Eun-jung waved her hand.

Yoon Hyun looked at Ham Eun-jung helplessly.

Actually, taking a cable car together as a couple is usually quite romantic, but for Yoon Hyun and Ham Eun-jung, it was a bit... strange.

Technically, the cable car they were in had a VJ in front and another one behind, both filming diligently. But because the two of them were the only ones sitting together on the bench, it became quite awkward.

"Um..." Yoon Hyun was really not used to this awkwardness, "Princess..."

"What?"

"I thought I was the only one who was nervous..."

"Nervous about what?" Ham Eun-jung looked puzzled.

"About skiing... It seems you're nervous too!"

"Me? I'm not nervous at all..." Ham Eun-jung shook her head.

"Then why aren't you talking?"

"Talking about what..."

"Never mind, forget it." Yoon Hyun shook his head, a bit depressed.

After they got to the top, Ham Eun-jung really acted like a skiing coach, teaching Yoon Hyun step by step how to put on the skis, how to position his legs in a V-shape, how to keep the skis parallel, how to squat to control his center of gravity, and then she slowly started sliding with him...

Yoon Hyun obediently followed Ham Eun-jung's instructions step by step.

"Good, that's about it." Ham Eun-jung nodded with satisfaction.

"Is... that it?" Yoon Hyun's worry grew even more.

"General, you really have a great talent for sports. This is basically enough to ski."

"Basically..."

"Yep, the rest is just going down the slope." Ham Eun-jung pointed to the big slope for skiing.

Yoon Hyun shuddered...

"Go!" Ham Eun-jung pushed Yoon Hyun, who was in a daze...

Accompanied by a scream, Yoon Hyun slid down the slope at a rapid speed.

Oh, besides Yoon Hyun's scream, there was also Ham Eun-jung's laughter.

"General, you're doing great, why are you screaming so much..." When Yoon Hyun finally stood up at the bottom of the slope, Ham Eun-jung, who had followed him down, arrived.

"… I'm going to sue you for attempted murder!" Yoon Hyun looked shaken.

"Not that serious. General, you did it smoothly, didn't you?" Ham Eun-jung dismissed Yoon Hyun's complaints with a sneer.

"Smoothly? I was almost scared to death! What if I fell and died?"

"You won't die, I was right behind you..."

"Being behind me doesn't help!" Yoon Hyun protested angrily.

Of course, this was mainly for the show's effect. After Ham Eun-jung's training, Yoon Hyun had a bit of confidence that he could ski down the mountain smoothly.

But Ham Eun-jung decided not to discuss this with Yoon Hyun.

"Since General has learned how to ski, let's have a race!" Ham Eun-jung suggested directly.

"A race of what?" Yoon Hyun was taken aback.

"Skiing! We'll race down from the top, and the first one to reach the bottom wins." Ham Eun-jung said with a smile.

"… You win, okay!" Yoon Hyun conceded immediately.

"Alright, then you have to agree to one thing..."

"What? Why?"

"Because you lost to me..."

"… What kind of logic is that!" Yoon Hyun was speechless.

"Then come and race me! We'll bet... Oh, didn't we both prepare rings yesterday? The winner will wear the other's ring!" Ham Eun-jung made a decent suggestion.

"… Whatever..." Yoon Hyun thought about it; even if he lost, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Alright, let's go up again!" Ham Eun-jung clapped her hands.

Then the two of them took the cable car back to the top of the slope.

"Let's agree on this, no backing out!" Ham Eun-jung looked confident, afraid that Yoon Hyun would deny his loss.

"General's word is his bond!" Yoon Hyun patted his chest.

Then...

At Ham Eun-jung's command, the two of them started together...

Yoon Hyun thought he could win.

Of course, that was just his assumption...

Before he even reached the halfway point, Ham Eun-jung had already crossed the finish line...

Then, with Yoon Hyun looking不服气 (unconvinced), Ham Eun-jung generously offered a best-of-three...

Then it became a best-of-five...

After losing three consecutive times, Yoon Hyun finally gave up his last resistance.

It wasn't that he couldn't win; the experience from the previous afternoon told Yoon Hyun that with Ham Eun-jung, he should win first and then lose. If he lost first and then won, it would be troublesome...

Finally, the filming at the ski resort was over.

Yoon Hyun took a deep breath after taking off his skiing gear. Honestly, he had no real enthusiasm for winter sports...

But for work, he had to...

"General, I heard there's a good place for fishing nearby..." Ham Eun-jung, still full of energy, approached the exhausted Yoon Hyun.

"… Fishing? In the middle of winter?" Yoon Hyun felt a bit sad...

"Yes... General, have you never fished in the winter?" Ham Eun-jung looked at Yoon Hyun with surprise.

"… No, I haven't..." Yoon Hyun shook his head, "It's so cold, the water must be frozen..."

Ham Eun-jung looked at Yoon Hyun as if he were an alien...

Yoon Hyun suddenly felt ashamed... though he didn't know why he felt ashamed...

Did he ask a stupid question?

...

Two hours later.

"First, use this to make a hole in the ice." Ham Eun-jung handed a metal rod to Yoon Hyun, who was standing on the ice, lost in thought.

"Make a hole... Okay... I understand..." Yoon Hyun finally understood what ice fishing was about. "But the fish we're trying to catch... are they... like that?" Yoon Hyun pointed to a small fish, thinner than his pinky, that an old man had just caught.

"Yes! Those fish are very tasty!" Ham Eun-jung seemed very experienced.

However, Yoon Hyun noticed that the PD was gesturing to Ham Eun-jung.

"Princess, you really know a lot!" Yoon Hyun said half-jokingly.

"General, you grew up in the city, so you don't know how to have fun in the countryside, right?"

"Princess, that's not a very convincing argument, is it?" Yoon Hyun said with a black line.

While the two were joking around, Yoon Hyun didn't stop. The metal rod, which looked a bit like a Luoyang shovel, was wielded by Yoon Hyun with great skill. In just a few minutes, he had drilled through the thick ice.

"General, you're amazing!" Ham Eun-jung clapped her hands like a seal.

"…" Yoon Hyun felt this was exactly like a zoo trainer praising an animal's performance.

When the fishing officially started, Ham Eun-jung, who was pretending to be very experienced, showed her lack of skill.

Neither of them knew how to fish...

"Eun-jung, how about... we play on the ice sleds instead?" Yoon Hyun was a bit ready to give up.

It wasn't his fault; the two of them had been fishing on the ice for almost two hours.

They hadn't even seen a fish.

The cold wind made them shiver.

Yoon Hyun had thought about whether to hug her for warmth or something like that...

But he didn't have the nerve to do it.

"Is there one?" Ham Eun-jung seemed to have lost interest in fishing too.

Then, the two of them started playing on the ice sleds on the vast ice surface...
