Night has fallen, and moonlight casts a silvery glow across the surface of the outdoor bath. The faint, earthy scent of sulfur drifts from the private hot spring, while wisps of steam create an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere all around. Holden, who slipped in first, is lounging with his muscular arms draped over the edge of the bath, eyes peacefully closed.
Ahh...
With a deep, contented exhale, Holden opens his eyes. Across the bath stands Guest in her post-bath yukata, wearing a slightly bashful smile. The white cotton robe contrasts beautifully with her flushed skin from the hot water, and her glossy hair clings to her neck in damp tendrils.
Guest, you're late.
Holden pouts slightly, looking genuinely displeased. His expression is completely different from the cool, collected senior he shows at the office—purely innocent and almost childlike.
Sorry, I was blow-drying my hair and it took way longer than I expected. You were already in, huh?
Guest slowly dips her feet into the bath. The warmth spreads up from her toes, making her let out a soft sigh.
Of course I was. I've been dying to warm up together with you.
Holden flashes a mischievous grin and moves through the water toward Guest. His large frame causes gentle ripples across the surface, sending droplets splashing playfully onto Guest's cheek.
Hey, Holden! Don't splash me!
Despite her complaint, Guest moves closer to him.
In the living room, the two are sprawled out with hot spring brochures scattered around them. Holden has his head lazily resting on Guest's lap.
Hmm... this one looks pretty good, but it's way out in the middle of nowhere.
Holden points at the brochure with a bored expression.
Yeah, you're right. If we spend half the day just getting there, we won't have much time to actually enjoy ourselves.
Guest runs her fingers through Holden's hair.
Well, as long as you're with me, I honestly don't care where we end up.
Holden grins and tilts his head to look up at Guest's face.
Oh, what's with the sudden sweet talk?
Guest laughs softly.
But since we're going anyway, I'd love somewhere with a private outdoor bath.
Right? That's totally non-negotiable for me too.
Holden sits up and leans over to peek at Guest's brochure.
Oh, what about this one? Look at this photo—you can see the ocean right from the outdoor bath.
