Chemistry

3: 30 a.m.

Jungwoo, who was standing in the intersection near the house, waved his hand toward the small car that had just arrived. The car stops, climbs into the passenger seat and bows.

“I'm sorry to call so suddenly, Dr. Moon. ”

“It's okay, I wasn't sleeping. ”

Jung turned his eyes to Dr. Moon, who put his passport and bag of luggage in his lap and started driving. I felt like I was in the hospital wearing a white robe.

Dr. Moon turns the car around and says,

“There's some paperwork in the back. ”

Turning around, I saw an envelope and picked it up.

“I booked the fastest flight. It's a straight shot to Rome, from there to Venice. The night train will be more comfortable when you arrive than the Italian domestic. ”

As soon as I received the Heavenly Kingdom's call for help, I expressed my gratitude to her for making a pre-sale from there.

“Thank you. I wouldn't have pretended like this if I had been prepared myself. ”

“I roughly expected to ask for Jungwoo's phone number. You can always tell me about this. It's in the terms.”

Jungwoo stopped. I didn't think I'd have written this down. I thought I should read it once.

“Dr. Shen. Is this how you're supposed to tell people what to do? ”

In this question, Dr. Moon speeds up with a funny little look on his face.

“You're a great embarrasser. ”

“That's Venice. You have a different scale.”

The road to Incheon Airport is only a short drive away because of dawn.

There was a slight tremor in the fact that the familiar view of Seoul, which appeared out of the window, would soon turn into something that only images and photographs had seen in Europe.

‘I still can't feel it. ’

I searched for a mobile phone to find a way to roam the phone, and while downloading an app for use abroad, I passed the New Airport toll gate and arrived in Yeongjong province.

Five minutes later, Dr. Moon stopped in front of GATE 7 Incheon Airport, pointing inward.

“I have a little over three hours left, so I can ticketing. ”

“Yes.”

“Just convert the currency and write a card. Famous tourist attractions are like Seoul. It's very cheesy, and this flight is an Italian route, so it's a little tricky to ask at immigration. How long you stay, where you go. Be sure to answer in English. ”

“Got it.”

Jung continues to nod, listening to Doctor Moon's advice as if he was worried about the kid who left something by the water, and then gets out of the car.

“And one more thing. ”

The passenger window opened and Dr. Moon said.

“Even if you do something unexpected, stay calm. I'm not asking you to do anything wrong. ”

The last one was meaningful advice.

“I'll be there. I'll see you back. ”

Jungwoo waves his hands at Dr. Moon with an anxious half-excited face and then steps inside the gate.

The trip was over in no time.

When I could barely sleep, I got on an airplane while waiting at the airport and was caught up with passengers talking in Italian.

Arizona Airlines Flight AZ 759.

Jungwoo sat down near the wing with a foreign flight attendant, noting that he had to fly for 12 hours and 5 minutes to arrive.

In late February, there were still many spots left because it was not a high tourist season, and few Koreans were seen.

Shortly after the Italian broadcast, there was a Korean broadcast.

- Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for getting on board the Italian Airlines. From now on, for your safety.

He put on his seat belt and asked me to turn off my phone. Jungwoo pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. There were several texts, so the most recent one was Dr. Moon.

Tell them your vacation request is complete. He usually takes more than a week off after completing a long-term project, which also explains that he completed Audrey's project and received three days off, and used them all.

‘It's been a month, and the reward's gone. ’

During the busy night, Yoon Iseol also texted.

[Paris is over. When you're done filming your jacket for the album, you can go to the clinic this Saturday. What about Jungwoo?]

‘By the way, I haven't seen Mr. Lee Seol in a while. ’

One day in a month, I saw it in the clinic. Jungwoo wrote a reply to Yoon Yi Seul.

[I'm on my way to Venice right now because something like this happened. If things get long there, you might not be able to come on Saturday. It's before we leave. I'll get back to you.]

“Sir, can you please turn off your phone? ”

The only Korean crew passed by and spoke to Jungwoo.

“Oh, I'm sorry. ”

Jungwoo pressed the End button and listened to the crew. The crew nods with a kind smile and then walks to the back. I felt like I was getting a text just before the screen turned off, but I couldn't read it because it was turned off.

The seat belt indicator light was flashing and leaned against the seat to set it straight.

‘Here we go. ’

The plane flew over Incheon Airport.

I was fascinated by how my body was floating, and I was amazed by the sky and the cloudy landscape that I saw outside the window. Jung Woo fell asleep, leaning his head against the seat.

* * *

Limited Woo Rome, Da Vinci International Airport.

The night vision of Rome, as seen from the window, began to beat. It didn't change the air in the aircraft, but it lifted Jungwoo's chest as if a chemical was sprayed that made the breasts beat.

There was an airplane vibration and heavy noise, and the wheels soon sat on the runway.

“Oh, it's Sachin. ”

Sitting in a cramped seat for 12 hours consumes more stamina than I thought.

You take your bags off the shelf and get out of the plane, and the Italian crew standing by greets you.

“Buon Giorno, Italy! ”

Bon journo? Did I say hello? "

Jungwoo nodded with a smile.

As soon as I got off the plane, I saw a sign telling me to go to immigration. Stranger spaces, stranger skin people passed by from all over.

Following a rare English guide and a common painting sign from all over the world, I saw a long line of entry points. After standing without a crowd, I felt the awkwardness of standing alone in the middle of Europe.

The yawn came out, but the line didn't shrink.

I arrived in front of the immigration shrine when the urge to leave was getting stronger rather than expecting me to come to Italy.

As soon as I gave out my passport, the judge asked for it.

“Tourism?”

“Yes, tours. Maebh Three Days?”

The stamp was slammed and the next person touched his hand.

"Phew."

It was a long wait, but I simply entered Rome in three seconds. I had to take the night train to Venice to get to the train station, so Jung came out of the terminal and found the vending machine.

When Leonardo Express cut off his ticket and stood on the platform, it looked like only a passerby, but it was similar to Korea's subway station.

The appearance of the airport railway was KTX, so Jung shakes his head.

‘I can't feel it anymore. ’

One time, Jungwoo sat down, carrying the burden of an Asian man on the shelf, giving kindness due to the compassion coming from the skin color.

Train's leaving.

I cast my eyes outside, but since it was night, there was not much impressive landscape.

Yawning Federal Road, about 30 minutes.

Jungwoo arrives at Termini Station, Seoul Station in Rome.

After reserving the night train to Venice at the window, he entered a store with a bunch of pizza beside the platform and pointed one finger.

On the spot, I cut a piece of paper into a square and went out and paid the waiter to give it to me.

"They sell pizza like a street vendor. ’

First meal in Italy. I looked forward to it and asked, but the taste of the cheese was not so special.

"Carbonated. We need carbonated. ’

I pulled out a Coke and swallowed it everywhere.

Jung picked up his cell phone and called heaven, confirming that the night train to be boarded was coming. The user only goes to signal, but the target doesn't receive.

“Are you sleeping?”

It's 10: 30 at night here. It wasn't that late. I felt like I was suddenly stumbling on a journey to believe in a kingdom of heaven.

I told you to call me when you got to Venice. This is Rome. '

I turned on the map app and checked the route to Venice because I didn't keep answering. Suddenly, several letters came in a row.

It was a text from Yoon Yi Seol who came late to see if Roaming was not smooth.

[Venice? Wow!]

[I... could go there for a shoot...]

[Contact me when you get back! Can we have a look?]

[Still on the plane? I'm gonna get going.]

It seemed to have been sent before and after the departure.

Isn't Lee Seol in Paris? ’

In this strange space, I got a text from someone I know, but it was a heart-warming Jung.

Yun Yi Seol - Paris, Lyon Station

The chief of intellectual materials surrounding Yoon Yi-sun and the bag walked next to the night train marked the destination as‘ Venezia ’.

“Come on, let's all go together tomorrow. What's the rush? ”

“I'm going to take an early look around. I wanted to get in the car. I don't feel like sightseeing with the staff. ”

Yoon Lee Seol smiled at the director with a worried face.

“When I went to L.A., I did well on my own. ”

“Do you know how worried me and my overseas part manager were? ”

“You snuck out. Now you're talking. ”

“You sound relieved, Ms. Yoon Seul, the fugitive. ”

Heh, Yoon Iseol, who smiled and handed over the bag from Chief Ji, said.

“You're coming by plane, right? As much as I play a day, I'm going to make the most of it. ”

“Wherever Venice is going, it's going to be great. Just right in the market or in the restaurant. It's the best thing for fans to do when they feel like they're on tour. ”

“How many times have you seen a picture taken during a Japanese performance? ”

2.7 million.

“Ouch. I can't let them down. I want to try hard. ”

Just before Yoon Yi Seul boarded the train, Chief Ji handed him the horse.

“The day after tomorrow, the whole album jacket team will arrive, so please refrain from any sudden moves. I'm glad it's off-season. I couldn't even afford a place to stay. ”

“I'll keep that in mind!”

“Don't bother Jungwoo too much. ”

“Yep! Yep? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm going!”

I waved once, and Yoon Il-sul got on the train. The director sighs as he watches her greet "bient" in French.

“Well, I was with Mr. Lim Woo and I wrote a title song. I hope you have a good time. He's surprisingly good at his job. ”

The principle of taking care of her as liberally as possible was that she was a well-written Yoon Iseol when she was emotional.

But you still need to be safe. He picked up his cell phone, texted a few overseas staff members, and walked out of the station.

“Heave-ho!”

Glug.

Yoon Il-sul, who was in a single-service bed, sat down to check his cell phone first. I've been texting since yesterday when I heard Jungwoo was coming to Europe, but I haven't heard back.

‘So am I. What to expect. ’

I said I had work, so I might not have time to meet myself. If I did, I might have to go around Venice filming tours for fans all day tomorrow.

“Fool. What a lame plan. ”

I thought about sending more texts, but I just lay there in my bed.

When I left with the expectation of my work, I blamed Sora for coming to the hotel after the performance in Paris.

- Hey, Lee Seol. We have to go in there and make sure. You said you liked her just fine. You can't tie a knot. Why do you have hiccups there? I'm Micho, just...

- You want me to confess?

- When she hides her cold food? What if another girl shows up? It's a romantic, watery, European vibe. You said he's a good man? Then there are plenty of women after him.

How long will it take to put someone in your heart? That's why I made a decision and changed my schedule to go to Venice.

“But I can't get in touch. ”

As I was shaking my feet with tears, there was a departure announcement.

Now come on. There's no turning back.

It was then.

On the phone I had thrown next to me, the text message rang and the screen flashed. Yoon Yi Seol's expression lit up, checking the text while catching it like lightning.

[I'm in Rome now. I'm taking the night train to Venice. Are you sure you're going to Venice? Wow, what a coincidence.]

‘It's no coincidence. ’

I was puncturing my schedule. The train is starting to move.

Yoon Yi Seol's mouth was full of smiles, wondering what he would reply to. I think I'll stay up all night because of the excitement. I can't. I have to sleep.

Limited Woo Venice, Santa Lucia Station

The train departed from Rome and repeated its standings overnight, circling several cities in central Italy.

Jungwoo turned his bed of non-dreamy grapefruit because of the fatigue and paralysis of the flight, and when he saw the sunrise outside the window, he woke up.

After washing roughly in the common washroom, I came back and saw that the conductor of the night train gave me a tray full of coffee and croissants.

“Him, Grazie. ”

The conductor laughs in Italian for gratitude, and the tray contains four cups of coffee and four loaves of bread from a four-man bed.

“I cut the caffeine, but it's day. ”

Putting a tray on the table between the beds spread a strong coffee aroma and others woke up slowly.

Cut the soft bread and look outside for 20 minutes. I began to see the landscape more clearly.

“Oh.”

The whole world was a strange landscape.

The graceful elegance of the Gothic building that slowly rises over the horizon, the railroad that stretched over the blue water of the Adriatic Sea caught Jungwoo's attention in a flash.

‘This is foreign. ’

The reality was too clear to me. I felt different from the salty smell that was transmitted by the wind through the window. I was caught in the sights without stopping my mouth, and suddenly I arrived in Santa Lucia, the terminal.

As soon as Jungwoo walked out to the plaza in front of the station, he encountered busy travelers and a water bus carrying them.

Ships are the only transportation vehicles here, a city built on the sea. There are only canals all the way to the alley. I looked for information on the way, but now that I've come face to face with it, the city is only surprising.

Jung, who was enjoying Venice's first impression in a frenzy, found a woman under the stairs looking over the plaza dazed like herself.

Huh?

Long, vivid hair down to the back, lips that look different red on sunny white skin. Wearing a warm knit cardigan, she was Yoon Iseol, a charming girl who caught my attention everywhere.

She holds a small bag on her back, holding a book in her hand, looking over her shoulder.

“Mr. Lee Seol. ”

Yoon Lee Seol turned his head to Jungwoo's call as he approached.

“Wow · · · · · · · · ·. ”

As soon as Yoon Lee Seol saw Jungwoo, I was amazed.

“I'm surprised to see you in a foreign country like this. ”

“I was thinking the same thing. ”

Seeing her standing in the background of exotic land reminded me of a scene in a movie set in Europe. Did the actress look prettier than usual because of her natural beauty or because of this atmosphere?

“Jungwoo. Did you see it on the way over? ”

“I saw it.”

I smiled at the fresh smile of Yoon Yi Seol who met among the travelers from another country. Then I quickly came to my senses.

“I have to meet someone first, if you need to do something, do it first and then separately when you have time · ·”

“Nothing!”

I was surprised to hear Yoon Yi Seol's reaction to cutting the horse in a hurry.

“Weren't you filming here today? ”

“Yi, I do have one. I'm in no hurry. Slightly · · · earlier than the staff. ”

Yun Yi Seol replied, and then dug his face up in a travel brochure called 'Let's Go Italy' and said, "Where shall we look?” I muttered a little.

“I need to make a quick phone call. ”

Jung, who saved his life, picked up his cell phone and dialed the heavenly kingdom's number.

Sweet.

This time I answered the phone right away.

- Ji-Woo?

“Yes, Doctor. I've just arrived at Santa Lucia Station. ”

I heard a yawning sound, and the kingdom of heaven spoke.

- What are you doing here so early? It's 8: 00 in the morning, isn't it?

“I see. I just caught something else in case I'm late, and it's hard to keep up with my appointments. ”

- There's a bone in the horse.

Over the phone, I heard a laugh.

- I'm about four hours away. In the meantime, go to the lab and rest.

“Rap?”

- Uh, it's a private lab. It's gonna be hard to find. It's an old neighborhood, and the address system is even worse than ours. You speak Italian, right?

“Me?”

It can't be possible. The words of Jungwoo surprised me a little.

- Didn't you take AF-12? I don't give a shit, you too. Aha. You put a limit on the nerve shock.

“Restrictions?”

I didn't know what I was talking about.

- Language-related parts make for sensitive cranial nerves. If you go to the lab, you'll find active medicines.

Jungwoo smiled at Yoon Iseol who was looking at him, then covered his mouth and asked him small.

“A drug that makes it possible to speak Italian? ”

- Technically, it's a molecular switch that activates existing linguistic knowledge. I need to make some combinations, because the G protein that's in there is old, and you can do it easily. I'll send you the address.Have a good one. Call me when you get there.

“By the way, Doctor, Can I take a friend to the lab? ”

Jungwoo looked at Yoon Iseol, who was exploring the travel booklet.

- Is Dr. Moon with you?

“No way.”

- Suit yourself.

Jungwoo, who finished the call, tilted his head. No matter how much medicine I took, I had the ability to be like heaven, but I rarely understood the concept of activating language.

‘You'll see. ’

Jungwoo turned to Yoon Iseol and asked.

“I have a place to go right away, do you want to come with me? Shouldn't we wait for the staff? ”

“It doesn't matter. They're going to be late. While you're here, I have a checklist with Jungwoo. ”

“In Venice?”

“Well, what do you think? I don't know anyone here. I'm perfectly free. ”

She smiles as widely as ever. At this place, Jungwoo felt like he would quickly become close to me, even though I usually felt awkward. European magic from the moment I got high on Venice.

I set my first steps on the city above the sea. With unexpected company.
