"Strolling?" Yoona used the same reason and that caused Jiyong to let out an unbelievable chuckle.

"You shouldn't be here, you aren't even wearing your mask!" Jiyong continued to walk forward with Yoona tailing behind, wrapping herself up with the coat. "The next thing you know, your face will be on the Korea portal site."

Truthfully, Jiyong was tired of all these. He once enjoyed being in the limelight, being the center of attention, but now, he just wants to take a break, to do things that he could have done during his younger days. However, the media isn't letting him off, it seems like everything he does, deserves to be on the main portal site, good or bad.

"Eh? I am always on the portal site? Are you talking about my Pandora or Innisfree endorsement?" Yoona had her way with words as if she didn't know what he was referring to.

Yoona knew it was partially her fault, resulting in Jiyong being caught by the paparazzi, hence she thought the only thing she could do now was to try her best to lighten the atmosphere.

"You know I am not referring to that." Jiyong shook his head with a smile on his face. "Aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

"You are?"

"Of course not! If that's the case, you wouldn't see me here."

"Then why should I be afraid?" Yoona chided. "They can take as many pictures as they want, I will still be unbothered. It's been more than 10 years since I have stepped in this industry and I guess I'll have to it up. This is definitely one of the biggest con; not being able to have a private life."

"I didn't know that you're so... open?" Jiyong was listening to her words attentively and for sure, he didn't know that she has this perspective.

"There's still lots of stuff that you don't know GD-sshi~" Yoona smiled. "You should be more open than me regarding such stuff, so why are you getting upset over it?"

"It's just frustrating and I want to stop receiving all this attention."

"Wow, wait till the media hears this." Yoona laughed, "If you weren't even concerned about those scandals that you'd gotten in the past, then you should definitely do the same now. The news will die down if we don't give them the attention that they want."

"That was the past when I was still young and wild."

"So you're saying that you're now old and proper?"

"What's with you and your words?" Jiyong found her words ridiculous as he halted his steps, turning to face her.

"I don't know?" Yoona shrugged her shoulders. "Just ignore it and by the time we return to Korea, it will all die down."

Jiyong did not make any response and continued to stare at her. Youngbae was right, she did not bloat at all compared to the other girls. She looked exactly the same as last night, without the make-up on and that's it. After a while, Yoona broke away from the eye-contact and started to drag him by holding onto the hem of his shirt.

"If you're done getting mad at that issue, can we please head back?" Yoona shuddered at the cold wind. "I have yet to get a sip of Youngbae oppa's hangover soup!"

Jiyong willingly got dragged back by her and couldn't help but smile at her actions.

"I thought you guys are not coming back anymore." Youngbae was behind the counter, smiling as he saw both of them coming in.

"I haven't had your hangover soup!" Yoona took off her beanie, throwing it at the side before rushing to the kitchen. "Don't tell me Sooyoung unnie finished all!"

Most of them had dispersed, some of them were playing switch in the living room, making lots of noise. They left Youngbae all alone in the kitchen, as if he blended in with all the utensils.

"I saved a portion for you, gluttony." Youngbae laughed. "Go take a seat, I'll heat it up for you."

"Assa! Thanks, Mama Dong~" Yoona happily made her way to the dining table. "Aren't you going to have some too?"

That last question was directed to Jiyong, who was still standing by the door.

"R-Right." Jiyong removed his mask and went over, sitting beside Yoona.

"Oppa, you can give half of my portion to this guy here," Yoona said it mindlessly as she scr
