That guy is This guy fanfic Chapter 4

4.

After eating lunch together, they casually talked, while enjoying the view of the sea and shimmering waves. In the meanwhile, they also decided to rest a bit, as they drank some fresh watermelon juice and desserts till 2 pm. It’s after that, Yoo Ji-han’s plans finally began.

‘Our first anniversary was meant to be a surprise— for both of us.’

Yoo Ji-han wanted something truly special, so he spent hours thinking about where they should go. After searching online for the best places to take your lover on a first anniversary, he finally decided on Lotte World in Seoul.

He thought it was the perfect choice, especially after reading countless comments praising it as one of the top date spots. The moment he saw it, he immediately daydreamed of his lover, who couldn’t help but smile into his eyes, as if teasing him and wanting to cuddle at the same time.

‘I think Yoo-jeong will really like this place.’

He smiled to himself, thinking of his playful, childlike partner.

But the memory of that day faded quickly when Yoo Ji-han checked the time— it was time to go. He glanced at Chae Yoo-jeong, who was watching him with curious eyes.

Yoo Ji-han simply smiled, as he took Chae Yoo-jeong’s right hand, and started walking toward the car. When they reached it, he gestured towards the passenger seat.

“You are going to sit there for now.”

He giggled when he saw Chae Yoo-jeong's confused face. Letting go of his hand, Yoo Ji-han opened the passenger door and gave a little nod. Still puzzled, Chae Yoo-jeong climbed in. As he fastened his seatbelt, Yoo Ji-han walked around and slid into the driver’s seat.

Yoo Ji-han glanced at Chae Yoo-jeong, who had a wide smile lighting up his face. Chae Yoo-jeong raised an eyebrow, curiosity clearly written all over his expression.

“Can you open the glove compartment and take out the little brown box in there?”

“Okay, Hyung.”

Yoo-jeong opened the glove compartment and pulled out a slim brown box that looked like it might hold a pen. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

“Open it. It’s for you.”

Ji-han said.

“For me?”

Yoo-jeong opened the box and blinked in surprise.

“A blindfold?”

“Yeah. Put it on. I want the destination to be a complete surprise.”

Without hesitation, Chae Yoo-jeong slipped the blindfold over his eyes, and a small smile playing on his lips.

“I can’t wait to see where you’ve decided to take me, Hyung. But... I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, so……”

Yoo Ji-han reached over, gently took Yoo-jeong’s hand, and placed it on his leg. Yoo-jeong blushed, falling silent at the touch.

“Let’s go.”

Ji-han said softly.

Upon reaching the place and entering the parking lot, Yoo Ji-han parked the car and he turned to look at Chae Yoo-jeong.

“Wait here for a moment.”

He leaned over and pressed a kiss to Yoo-jeong’s cheek, then quickly stepped out of the car, shutting the door behind him in a hurry.

Chae Yoo-jeong sat patiently, wondering where they had arrived. The minutes felt unusually long—as if time had slowed just for him. His ears were concentrated on a crowd of noises, mostly made up of laughter and cheers, that seemed like it’s from kids. He can already guess where the place was, without having to ask Ji-han. Then, finally, he heard the passenger door open. He turned toward the sound and looked at where Hyung's face should be.

“Hyung?”

“Let’s go.”

Chae Yoo-jeong heard Ji-han’s gentle reply.

Yoo Ji-han helped him out of the car, and together they began to walk.

“Hyung……”

“I just needed to check if everything was ready... if all my arrangements were in place.”

‘That also means that my heart is also ready.’

Yoo Ji-han replied. His voice was warm but slightly nervous. Chae Yoo-jeong stayed quiet, trusting Yoo Ji-han completely to lead him wherever he intended. After a few quiet moments, Yoo Ji-han let go of his hand and moved behind him.

“Are you ready, my dear puppy?”

Ji-han whispered happily with a slight hint of excitement.

Chae Yoo-jeong nodded with a small smile. He opened his eyes as soon as he sensed the blindfold was gone. His eyes grew wide with surprise when he realized where they were. Excitedly, he looked at Yoo Ji-han.

“Do you… like my surprise?”

Yoo Ji-han asked nervously.

Without hesitation, Chae Yoo-jeong pulled him into a tight hug.

“Just like? I love it! I’ve always wished to come here with you, Hyung.”

Although Yoo Ji-han almost choked from the tight hug, he smiled, looking up at Yoo-jeong’s happy face. He sighed inwardly.

‘I was so nervous.’

“I’m glad you love it. Then… shall we start exploring?”

Chae Yoo-jeong nodded eagerly. They began to walk around, taking in the sights. After a while, Yoo Ji-han’s eyes caught something interesting. He rushed toward a nearby photo booth area, pulling Yoo-jeong along.

Grabbing a hanger full of school uniform sets, Yoo Ji-han held them up one by one against Chae Yoo-jeong’s chest, gauging which suited him best. He turned toward the mirror, focused and thoughtful, while Yoo-jeong watched him in surprise.

“I remember seeing you in a uniform back then……”

Yoo Ji-han said comfortably as he draped another set over Yoo-jeong.

Chae Yoo-jeong’s ears drooped, and he let out a soft whimper.

“You sure you even remember me back then?”

He asked bitterly, though with a shy smile.

“I might have… remembered a little.”

Yoo Ji-han replied thoughtfully.

“It might not have been significant to me at the time, but I know it was to you. So, I tried my best to recall some things. Besides, I’ve always wanted to see you in a school uniform. You must have been pretty popular in high school.”

“Yeah, I was. Especially during the last two years of high school……”

‘That was when my growth spurt happened so fast, and I wanted to become a better person for Yoo Ji-han. Even though I was admired by many, I didn’t have a single person I could truly call a friend.’

Chae Yoo-jeong thought as he went silent. Noticing the emotionless expression, Yoo Ji-han, who panicked a bit inside his heart, rushed to change the topic.

“Don’t you think this light yellow vest suits you? I want us to have matching uniforms. Maybe I’ll pick the black vest to go with it……”

Yoo Ji-han handed him the set of uniforms.

“What happened has happened. What we can change is the now, so don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you—for all the times you didn’t get to be with me.”

He gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Chae Yoo-jeong’s ear and brought his face closer, pinching his cheeks affectionately. Chae Yoo-jeong reflexively pulled back when Yoo Ji-han released him, but then he slowly smiled.

“Then let me also get back at you.”

Chae Yoo-jeong moved closer to Yoo Ji-han and pinched his cheeks gently, before quickly placing a peek on the cheek. He moved to the closest changing room hurriedly.

‘I’m glad his mood’s better than when he first arrived. I was worried he might feel guilty. What a good kid… He’s really grown since I left him at the hospital.’

Once they’d changed into the matching uniforms they rented for a few hours, they hopped into the photo booth and snapped several pictures together, laughing and making silly faces.

They wandered hand in hand through the park, smiles bright as if all the snow in the world had melted away instantly.

They tried some thrilling rides—bungee drop, gyro swing. Chae Yoo-jeong was nervous at first, but once strapped in, he seemed to enjoy every moment. The loud noises of screaming and screeches surrounded them.

Later, they shared churros and waffles, taking a selfie with the treats before heading off to explore more rides.

To end their perfect day at the theme park, they visited a tarot shop, as they were curious about what the cards might reveal about their past and future. It was very famous on social media due to how accurate they are.

“Choose any three cards from the deck laid before you.”

The tarot reader requested with her soft and mysterious voice. A pile of tarot card surrounded her, in a sort that the cards were not revealed.

Yoo Ji-han and Chae Yoo-jeong exchanged a glance before each reaching out to pick their cards.

Yoo Ji-han’s choices revealed The Emperor, The Queen of Wands, and The Lovers.

He looked at the cards thoughtfully, then glanced at Yoo-jeong.

“What about you?”

Yoo Ji-han asked.

Chae Yoo-jeong held his three cards close for a moment before revealing The High priestess, The King of Pentacles, and The Star.

The tarot reader’s smile deepened as she turned her attention to Yoo Ji-han’s cards. She spoke to him in a tone calm but rich with layered meaning.

“Young man, your cards are quite telling.”

She began to explain the meaning behind the cards.

“The Emperor, Counterpart to the Empress, represents structure, power, and responsibility. It speaks to a steady hand and someone destined to lead—someone who others naturally look to for guidance. You may find yourself stepping into a position where your decisions carry weight, where people count on you. Often, this card arises when change is imminent—either brought on by external forces or your own quiet resolve.”

Yoo Ji-han nodded slowly, visibly taken aback.

“That’s true. I did get a promotion recently……”

He murmured, eyes flickering with the glow of recognition.

She continued, shifting seamlessly to the next card.

“The Queen of Wands suggests you’re someone with a magnetic personality—charismatic, passionate, and deeply loyal. You possess a vibrant energy that draws people in, even when you try to keep your distance emotionally. This card also implies a balance—someone who can be fierce yet nurturing, independent but protective over those they care about.”

Ji-han’s gaze briefly shifted to Chae Yoo-jeong, an almost imperceptible softness brushing over his features.

“And finally……”

The reader said, laying her fingertips gently on The Lovers card.

“This card is more complex than it appears. While it certainly represents love and relationships, it also speaks to crossroads—choices between two important paths. It may be romantic, personal, or even spiritual. It’s not a warning, but a reminder. When the moment comes, your heart and your head will both guide you. You must listen to both.”

Yoo Ji-han sat still for a moment, taking it all in—the quiet truth in her words settling over him like mist. There was something hauntingly accurate in the way she spoke, as if she had glimpsed a corner of his soul.

Then, the woman in the black hood tilted her head and asked in a tone, that’s light but curious.

“Are you two lovers, by any chance? You both look pretty young, huh?”

“Yes.”

Chae Yoo-jeong answered proudly without hesitation. His smile was radiant as he held up their intertwined hands for her to see.

Yoo Ji-han, on the other hand, slightly turned his head away in a flustered attempt to hide his blushing face.

The woman let out a low, amused chuckle.

“Heh… adorable. Alright then, let’s take a look at your cards.”

Chae Yoo-jeong handed her the three he had selected—The High Priestess, The King of Pentacles, and The Star.

The tarot reader tilted her head slightly, gazing down at the cards with an unreadable expression.

“Hm… that is very… how should I say……”

She murmured in a low volume.

Yoo Ji-han and Chae Yoo-jeong exchanged a quick glance, as the tension rose between them like invisible threads tightening in the air.

“Is it… something bad?”

Chae Yoo-jeong asked, his voice faint and tinged with panic. Even though he knew this could all just be a metaphor, a part of him couldn’t suppress the anxiety knotting in his chest.

The woman smiled gently, sensing his concern.

“No, not bad. Not at all. Just… deep.”

She pointed to the first card.

“The High Priestess—this card tells me you have a quiet wisdom in you. You might not always speak it aloud, but your heart knows things your head hasn’t caught up to yet. You feel things deeply. This card encourages you to trust that intuition more. Sometimes, what your heart whispers is more true than what logic screams.”

Yoo Ji-han looked over at Chae Yoo-jeong, noticing how still he had become. His expression was unusually serious. He let out a quiet chuckle and gently reached over, taking Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand in his. He gave it a small, reassuring squeeze.

Feeling the warmth of Yoo Ji-han’s touch, Chae Yoo-jeong’s tense shoulders eased slightly. He turned his head just a bit and caught the gentle, comforting smile on Yoo Ji-han’s face— soft, steady, and full of quiet support.

A slow smile spread across Chae Yoo-jeong’s lips in return, one that held gratitude and a touch of relief.

Next, she tapped the second card.

“The King of Pentacles—this is your core. Strong, dependable, mature beyond your years. It means you’ve worked hard—maybe too hard—to build something solid, maybe even to prove yourself. People see you as stable, as someone they can lean on. But I wonder… who do you lean on?”

Chae Yoo-jeong blinked slowly, with his eyes dropping to the table as the tarot reader’s words lingered in the air like soft echoes. Then, he felt it again—Yoo Ji-han’s hand, squeezing his hand gently.

The tarot reader’s gaze softened as she pointed to the final card.

“The Star—this card is the light after the storm. It speaks of healing and renewal. Maybe there was a time you felt lost, or hurt… like you were alone even when surrounded by people. But this card is hope. It’s the universe telling you, ‘you’re on the right path now.’ That your wishes, the quiet ones buried deep inside, are finally beginning to rise into the light.”

The room felt quieter somehow. As if her words had wrapped around them like a warm blanket.

“Well……”

The tarot reader looked at them and then said with a small smile.

“You two… you’ve both had your share of weight to carry. But these cards? They show balance. Support. And above all, a connection that goes deeper than surface feelings.”

She leaned back and added with a playful wink.

“And no, nothing bad at all.”

Chae Yoo-jeong smiled softly. A visible weight lifted from his chest. He then said quietly.

“Thank you.”

As they stood and prepared to leave, Yoo Ji-han gave one last look at the table where the cards still lay.

He murmured under his breath, just loud enough for Chae Yoo-jeong to hear.

“Looks like the stars are rooting for us, huh?”

Chae Yoo-jeong’s smile turned brighter, more certain.

“Yeah… I think so as well.”

They both left the booth, with their fingers still intertwined, walking side by side without a care for who might see them. The noise of the theme park returned, but for them, it all felt quieter— softer. As if the world had taken a breath to let them exist in peace, even just for a little while.

“I hope they stay together forever.”

The tarot reader whispered to herself with a fond smile. Then, stretching slightly in her chair, she glanced at the time.

“Well… time to clear everything up so I can finally eat dinner.”

With practiced ease, she gathered the cards, tapping the deck into a neat stack with a single hand. The flick of her wrist sent them sliding perfectly back into place.

As the curtain to her booth fluttered gently in the breeze, she cast one final glance just before the couple had disappeared into the crowd—only two silhouettes walking forward together, hand in hand.
