"pleased to meet you You can call me Seohyun.” The English was slightly accented with a Korean accent. “I can speak a little Japanese.” This sentence came out clearly in Japanese.
Takaki Yuya raised his eyebrows before smiling until his eyes closed. Then gave her a thumbs up, “대박 (awesome!)”
If Yuya saw Seohyun as a young lady
Right now, Seohyun is looking at this broad-shouldered, tan-skinned Japanese man as a bad boy like in the drama series.
The lion, the wish and the tent (Takaki Yuya x Seohyun )

That night was the first night that Seohyun had to sleep alone in a tent with a man.
And it was a man who we had only known for less than 24 hours.
Takaki's tall figure Yuya quickly slipped into the tent of the new female biologist. After hearing a loud roar from across the river
At that moment, Seohyun knew that she shouldn't panic. It wasn't the time to be startled when Yuya's large palm pressed her head down so she was lying down next to him, and it wasn't the time to dislike the smell of cigarettes mixed with the scent of tea leaves from Yuya.
And then another sound It was like a roar in response to the first sound. It came from the thick bushes on the other side of where her tent was. The sound of branches breaking The more it made her feel bad.
This was why Yuya jumped in and zipped the tent shut as quietly as possible.
There was no time for the young man to think of another way to escape. or consider the honor and dignity of the woman
At this moment there is only the word 'must survive'.
The sound of deafening footsteps was getting closer and closer.
Seohyun just lay there frozen. Praying that the lion would never come near the tent again. I hope it decides to quickly walk back to the place it came from.
But the pleas seemed to have no effect.
Because this time, the forest lord's huge shadow slowly descended. Lying down leaning on a small tent that was isolated from the other tents.
The sound of his breathing was harsh. and the sound of the tail flicking down Causing the tent walls to collapse even more than before.
Not for long, but in Seohyun's feelings It felt like each second was as slow as an hour. The Forest Lord's breathing turned into a soft moan. And the sound of his breathing became soft and steady. The lion must be asleep by now.
But at this moment, Seohyun couldn't fall asleep. I could only hear the sound of my own heart beating excitedly. loudly coming out of my chest Ears are confused. I didn't even dare to move. For fear that the forest kings were sleeping only separated by a tent wall. May wake up at any time
But then the feeling of fear that had been building up slowly slowly disappeared. loosen slightly
Feeling the warm touch of Yuya's palm who gently caressed her head As if to comfort her that she would be safe.
Seohyun didn't know when she fell asleep.
When the morning comes Traces of one of the collapsed tent walls still remain. But without the body of the Forest Lord last night. And was lucky when I woke up and found lion footprints. Yuya expected that it had already walked back to the other side.
A young man with light skin picked up a young woman's tent and carried it on his back. His left hand also carried the other person's large backpack.
“Now you understand what I told you last night, right? That he should go set up a tent with the others. It will be safer on the raised platform over there.”
Seohyun nodded slightly. then answer in a teasing tone "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken the risk of sleeping near the river like this. I think getting the tent out of the way of the hippos would be safe."
Even though he was so tired that his eyes looked like panda eyes from lack of sleep all night. But a smile appeared on Yuya's lips. When he looked into the girl's crystal clear black eyes that radiated guilt,
“Think of it as accepting a younger sibling from the forest lord, huh?”
Then his free right palm was extended in front of Seohyun's face.
“Let's go, we still have a lot to learn.”
At the conference room of the field office Make it sound beautiful But it's actually a large camp in the middle of the forest in Ruaha, Tanzania.
Pickup trucks, off-road vehicles and dusty Cobalts lined up outside.
When looking beyond The view is of a path leading to the river. A herd of hippopotamuses soaked in water Challenge the hot afternoon sun
Takaki Yuya took out a photo from a brown document envelope. On the front of the envelope was written in his own scribbled handwriting.
The young man took out the photos and looked at them one by one.
Most of the images taken were of the lions that were the subject of the research.
But there is a different picture.
It's a portrait in which the person in the picture doesn't know they've been secretly photographed. Young woman with long flowing black hair Blown behind by the wind. Beautiful oval face Slender arms raised to block the sunlight. that shines on white skin Sparkling black eyes looked at the scenery ahead.
Seo Joo Hyun, conservation biologist It's the woman in this photo.
A woman that Yuya couldn't ignore. Leave her alone from the first time we met.
“Yuya-senpai,” Nakajima Yuuto leaned forward from behind. Calling out to senior friends who is sitting and writing a research paper with a happy expression on his face
"Senpai~"
But there was no response. Yuuto looked at the photo in the older man's hand. who is now sitting and biting the tip of a pen Smiling sweetly, he is a primary school child living alone.
The tall, gangly junior shook his head and walked away. Murmuring in the throat "I guess I'm stuck in a trance. Mungmingngngngng The symptoms are serious."
--The sweet image in Yuya's head Going back to the afternoon of the first day we met--
Takaki Yuya extinguished the cigarette in his hand with a portable extinguisher. His back, which was leaning against the pickup just moments ago, straightened when he saw the person he assumed was the person he was waiting to receive. walking straight The young man took off his black sunglasses and placed them on the neck of his patternless, dark green T-shirt.
young white woman A slender figure in a simple, dark brown, fitted shirt. with cargo pants and sneakers Two hands tighten the backpack strap.
Beautiful face, cute, such that at a glance you can tell that it is that young lady's child. There is sweat in the hairline on the forehead.
Yuya smiled slightly, giving Miss a good profile. who graduated in biology from a world-class university
“Mr. Seo Joohyun, I am Yuya Takaki. You can call me Yuya. The research team sent me to pick you up on Nakajima's behalf. He had to go to the hospital suddenly,” he greeted in English with a Japanese accent. He held out his hand to take the backpack from the woman and put it in the back of the pickup truck. Then he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the representative of the new research team in front of him.
The woman's slender white hands were as soft as Yuya expected.
You're the real one. But why did you choose to do wildlife research here?
Seohyun looked at the person in front of him in slight surprise. "pleased to meet you You can call me Seohyun.” The English was slightly accented with a Korean accent. “I can speak a little Japanese.” This sentence came out clearly in Japanese.
Takaki Yuya raised his eyebrows before smiling until his eyes closed. Then gave her a thumbs up, “대박 (awesome!)”
If Yuya saw Seohyun as a young lady
Right now, Seohyun is looking at this broad-shouldered, tan-skinned Japanese man as a bad boy like in the drama series.
Seohyun glanced over as Yuya was driving. She didn't realize that she glanced at him every now and then. But the other party was fully aware. Yuya ruffled his golden-brown lion hair. before laughing softly When I turned to meet her eyes
“Anyway, it's still a long way to reach the camp. Let's try to get to know each other for a while, shall we?"
Seohyun nodded in agreement. I was pleased that the other party broke the silence first.
“I have a Chihuahua named Choco.”
“Eh?” Seohyun exclaimed softly. Unbelievable A guy with a bad boy look has a Chihuahua dog!
“What does 'Eh' mean?” Yuya wrinkled his nose, smiling shyly.
“Sorry, I'm...just surprised that Yuya-san has a Chihuahua,” Seohyun replied in a bright tone. "I have a Maltese. His name is Dubu. Korean means tofu."
This time Yuya laughed loudly, "That's good. You don't have to ask to know what color the dog is."
“Ah, that's true.” Seohyun covered her mouth with her hand and laughed. “Plus the name is the same as food.”
That was the first time a Japanese guy and a Korean girl met. As a member of the lion research team Animals in the cat family of Tanzania
At that time, neither of them expected that There will be a reason for having to be close overnight.
And Yuya's words later that 'We still have a lot to learn'
Besides research and adapting to the team and nature in Tanzania,
He also means things between him and her.

Love at first sight
Love at first risk
