Before Going to the Beach

At that moment, I was filled with thoughts of taking Jia to the beach. She had sacrificed so much for me, and after we got married, she’d gone through so much raising Jihee (yet still took such meticulous care of herself that she remained beautiful). Just then, she cautiously spoke up.

"Yuna, can Jihee come with us, too?"

"Uh... I don't see why not..."

"Jihee's still young, and unless it's a private beach with very few people, if it's a regular public beach..."

"Thanks for thinking of us, but we can't help that it'll be crowded. Everyone wants to escape the heat."

"Should I try to find a private beach somehow?"

"No, you don't have to go that far for my sake..."

I guess we could find one if we tried. But I didn't want to see Jia feeling bad about it, so I was just about to book a regular beach when...

"Yuna, let's go to a private beach."

"Huh? What do you mean, Yeji?"...
