I Was Kidnapped By a Yandere Writer

Chapter 63: Christmas Celebration -1

The outing was successful.

As planned, they bought decorations for the tree and groceries for the party at the mart.

Though she felt a bit uncomfortable being in crowded places, she managed to accompany her and complete the tasks without showing much discomfort.

It was only after they arrived home that she regained her energy.

Seeing Eunah exuding a proud aura as soon as they got out of the car, Dokyun couldn't help but burst into laughter and compliment her, "You did great today."

Upon hearing his compliment, she finally turned around, smiling brightly, and replied, "Yes! I-I protected Mr. Bee well!"

Proudly boasting while shrugging her shoulders.

Dokyun, feeling amused by her response, teasingly remarked, "Did you protect me? I think I did the protecting."

"Eek!"

She flinched and her eyes widened.

Changing her tone to a pleading one, she defended herself, "Look, I, I helped! B-because you looked pitiful Yes, pitiful!"

As if convincing herself, she nodded vigorously.

Seeing Eunah regain her energy once again, Dokyun's smile grew wider, and finally, when Eunah noticed him, she nudged him in a petulant tone, "D-don't laugh!"

"Sorry, couldn't help it."

Dokyun suppressed his laughter and looked at her.

With flushed cheeks and pouting lips, he realized it was time to stop. He quickly picked up the bags he had brought out and turned to her, "Shall we go inside now?"

"Ugh"

As they walked towards the house, she muttered softly, her cheeks puffed out.

After glaring at Dokyun for a while, Eunah then stood next to him, took a few bags from him, and walked ahead.

Dokyun briefly watched her retreating figure.

The sight of her walking ahead without a word, but with a mischievous energy radiating from her, was so adorable that he couldn't help but laugh again.

Dokyun, who had been watching him for a moment, quickly composed himself and caught up with her, opening his mouth as he walked fast.

"Let's go together!"

*

Entering the house, he changed his clothes and sorted out what he had bought.

After organizing the groceries first, Dokyun unfolded the tree decorations and began to contemplate how to decorate the tree as he looked at him for a moment.

"Hmm"

Dokyun stared at the large tree standing in one corner of the living room.

"Is it too much?"

A tree slightly taller than himself.

He had chosen a big one thinking that making memories should be done grandly, but now that he looked at it like this, he wondered how to decorate it to make it look beautiful.

If he piled decorations on it, it would look messy, but if he attached them sparingly, it would seem like a waste of what he had bought.

As he continued to ponder without a clear answer, feeling resentful of his own sense of aesthetics, Dokyun felt a tug on his sleeve, and he turned his head to see Eunah holding LED decorations in her hand, looking up at him with eyes full of anticipation. Dokyun smiled at her and spoke to her.

"Huh? What?"

"Um!"

In response to his question, her head nodded vigorously.

Dokyun smiled at her and nodded in agreement.

"Shall we put this up first?"

"Yes!"

In response to his confirmation, her head nodded vigorously again.

With a smile on his face, Dokyun nodded his head back at her and spoke.

"Okay. Can you wait for a moment?"

With that, Dokyun approached the tree and reached out his arms to start hanging LED lights from the top of the tree.

As he easily wrapped the lights around, Dokyun, suddenly shifted his gaze to the hand that was tugging at his sleeve again.

"Huh?"

Eunah's expression at the end of his gaze seemed somewhat displeased.

With a small doubt arising in him, Dokyun asked her.

"What?"

As his question reached her, she mumbled a few words with a hint of frustration.

"That, that's not how it's supposed to be"

A reminiscent phrase.

Once again, the attitude she had shown when she watched him cooking ramen was revealed.

Feeling somewhat uneasy if he had done something wrong, Dokyun forced an awkward smile and asked again.

"Um then how should it be?"

"Well, first of all!"

In response to his question, she looked at the tree with a somewhat serious expression, gesturing and explaining.

"Um, this should be a little lower and this should be a bit denser"

From top to bottom, she explained the parts that were out of reach with her height, and directly adjusted the parts that she could reach, which somehow felt professional.

As Dokyun looked at the tree being adjusted, he turned his gaze to her and saw her smiling brightly, exuding a sense of joy.

Dokyun, watching her, felt his mouth involuntarily curling up.

'The sight of him liking what I had planned brought joy, filling me with a sense of pride.'

Little by little, step by step, we'll fill it up.

'We don't need Go Eunchae anymore, we don't need her to be a good girl to be happy. We'll fill the memories like that.'

With that thought in mind, he continued to adjust the tree beside her.

Her sense of aesthetics must have been much better than him, because as he followed her instructions to adjust the lighting and decorations, a remarkably beautiful tree was completed before he knew it, eliciting spontaneous admiration.

"Wow"

Dokyun exclaimed as he looked at the tree.

"Oh, um What do you think?"

She asked Dokyun.

Even though she had made it so beautifully, her face was tense, waiting for my evaluation.

Dokyun looked at her for a moment, then smiled brightly and raised his thumb as he replied.

"It's amazing. If I had made it alone, it would have been a mess compared to this."

"Oh, no If the bee made it, it would be beautiful"

As they exchanged words of encouragement, Dokyun handed her the switch for the tree lights.

"Try turning it on."

As he handed her the switch and stepped back, she looked at him for a moment before shifting her gaze to the tree and pressing the switch.

The twinkling lights began to dance around the tree, and when Dokyun reached out to turn off the lights in the living room, the light from the decorations became even more dazzling.

Red, blue, and yellow lights flashed, casting a colorful hue throughout the space.

"Wow"

Dokyun heard her exclaim in amazement and turned to see her staring blankly at the tree, her eyes sparkling.

Her cheeks flushed with joy and her slightly parted lips revealed the emotions she was feeling.

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Yes!"

She nodded vigorously as she looked at him before her gaze returned to the tree.

Watching her from a distance, Dokyun felt a sense of contemplation washing over him.

The brightly shining tree and her gazing at it blankly seemed to merge into something surreal, like a scene from a movie.

Distracted momentarily by the scene, Dokyun remembered the camera he had brought today and quickly captured this moment.

Click!

The sound of the camera operating.

Her gaze shifted to me, and Dokyun, looking at her blankly, spoke.

"Would you like to smile, Eunah?"

"Yes?"

"A smiling face tilting its head.

Dokyun shifted his gaze away from the camera screen and smiled as he looked at her.

"You should smile for the photo. Make a V sign with your hand."

"Oh, okay!"

Responding to Dokyun 's words, Eunah nodded and awkwardly made a V sign with both hands, then let out a forced smile.

"Like this?"

And then.

"Hehe!"

Dokyun couldn't hold back his laughter as he saw her struggling to suppress her giggles.

Seeing her nervously giggling and making awkward poses under the realization of being photographed, Dokyun found it too amusing and cute to contain his laughter.

As Dokyun burst into laughter, she tried to maintain her tipsy pose and asked in a tense voice.

"Why, why are you laughing?"

"Oh, it's nothing. My nose suddenly itched."

As Dokyun tried to compose himself and answered her question, she burst into laughter again.

"Hehehe"Thi/s chapter is updat𝓮d by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

A slightly relieved expression.

Dokyun didn't miss the moment and quickly snapped a picture of her smiling face with the camera.

Click!

At the sound of the camera, her body stiffened slightly.

"Is, is it done?"

Her question followed shortly after.

Dokyun looked at the camera screen.

A bright face smiling brightly with the tree sparkling beside her.

Although it was a picture taken with amateur skills, it seemed like a decent piece of work, perhaps because the model was so charming.

A smile began to spread across Dokyun's lips as he looked at the photo, and as he opened his mouth to answer her.

"Yes, it turned out really well."

Satisfied with his tone, Eunah leaned closer to Dokyun's side, extending her head to inspect the screen and exclaimed in admiration.

"Wow"

"It looks nice, right?"

"Yes!"

As she replied, a smile full of joy formed on her face as she looked up at him.

"Mr. Photographer, you take good photos too!"

She complimented again.

To this, Dokyun felt a smirk creeping up, and as he faced her, he replied with a teasing tone.

"Because Miss Eunah is the model."

"Hehe"

Eunah chuckled at the compliment, then immediately snatched the camera from Dokyun's hand and said to him.

"Now it's Mr. Photographer's turn to be photographed!"

"Oh."

Was he also going to be photographed?

Feeling somewhat awkward at the suggestion, Dokyun nodded his head.

As they moved towards the tree, Dokyun made a V sign with his hand and smiled.

"Cheese!"

He looked at her and saw her smiling.

"What?"

"Oh, no!"

Dokyun eyes narrowed.

No.

'I knew very well what my face must have looked like.'

'My expression probably made my smiling face seem funny.'

Only then did Dokyun realize, belatedly feeling embarrassed, that he had smiled at her face, realizing that his own face wasn't much different from hers just now.

Maybe, he thought, he looked even funnier than her now, causing his shoulders to slump with that realization.

Click!

The sound of the camera snapping echoed.

Startled, Dokyun quickly approached her to check the screen.

"Phew!"

Seeing the screen first, she laughed and pulled the camera close to her chest, covering the screen, while Dokyun, now tense, asked a question.

"What, why?"

Was it really that strange? Or funny? Was she hiding it because she wanted to erase it?

Amidst countless thoughts racing through his mind, he finally heard an answer from her.

"Um I-I want to see this by myself!"

She said so while tightly holding the camera to her chest, sparking curiosity once again.

"Hehe"

Seeing her laugh with a deeply flushed face, he didn't know what to say to make her feel different, so he just smiled back awkwardly.

"Well alright then."

Although he was curious, ultimately, she seemed happy, so it should be okay, he thought, nodding his head.

Dokyun, who had bent down to check the screen, straightened his waist again and continued to gaze at her, still holding the camera and laughing along with her.

Even when she burst into laughter with a silly smile on her face while checking the screen, he smiled again, thinking, 'Well good things are good.'

He wondered if it was really funny. But then, thinking that it might be good to laugh at that picture when feeling down, Dokyun regained his composure and followed her, drawing a smile on his face.
