Script
Garden of Vyn's Residence
The surface of the amber water sparkles under the sunlight, with a faint fragrance permeating the air.
At this moment, you are sitting in Vyn's garden, enjoying some time together after being apart for so long.
You: I'm finally done with work... If this keeps up, my body won't be able to handle it.
With that, you gently lean on Vyn, hoping to get some warmth from your lover.
He pulls you in lovingly so you can rest comfortably in his embrace.
Vyn: I know work has been tough lately, so I brewed some flower tea for you to relax.
Vyn: Clear your mind today and get some rest.
You: Yeah...
Vyn seems to nod in satisfaction but glances at the tablet on the table.
You: Is it work? Do you need to take care of it?
Vyn: ...
Vyn: It is not what you think.
Vyn pushes the tablet over so that you can see what's shown on the screen.
"Late night help! Urgent! I traveled abroad only to discover my boyfriend's poor hygiene habits!"
You: Eh? This is...?
Curiosity gets the better of you, and you swipe a few times on the tablet. A long post crying for help gradually appears on the screen.
You: "My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for many years. We were planning on getting married this year..."
You: "It's often said that a trip is the biggest test for a couple, and couples should travel at least once before marriage."
You: "So I thought I'd take a long trip with my boyfriend before marriage. Little did I know, he has such poor personal hygiene..."
You: "I can't accept such a sloppy man, but we've been together for so long. What should I do..."
You: ...Vyn, I didn't expect you would be interested in gossip like this!
Vyn: Ahem, I'm not...
Vyn picks up his cup of tea and takes a sip from it.
Vyn: I have been reading up on the Psychology of Travel.
Vyn: This forum post offers authentic experiences of real couples, which makes it worthy of research.
You: Authentic experiences from real couples?
You continue to flip through the replies to the post.
"*sobs* I have the same problem. My man has poor personal hygiene... What should I do..."
"As someone who's been through the same experience, dump that man already!!! Also, please keep us updated on what happens next."
You: Look at the amount of "enthusiastic" netizens that commented!!
You: And this comment... talks about bad habits that arise in a relationship.
You show a long comment to Vyn.
"Readers, be warned: Listening to my woes will make you cry. It wasn't until we started living together that I found out he likes to leave his socks around!!!"
"Before, on dates, I would only stay over at his place for a few days. So I never knew about this awful habit of his..."
"With our wedding approaching, it seems too late to 'return the goods'..."
"Heed my warning! Make sure you pay attention to your man's habits!!!"
Vyn: Hmm... it makes sense.
Vyn: People form habits as they grow up. By adulthood, old habits are hard to break.
Vyn: Even if the habits can be "covered up" while dating, the ingrained habits will eventually come to light.
Vyn: If two people in a relationship have standards of life that are polar opposites, they will certainly have conflict in the long run.
Absorbed in your thoughts, you nod lightly while admiring Vyn's delicate profile.
You: (I wonder if Vyn and I... can tolerate each other's habits.)
Vyn: I think this post... has evolved into a discussion about traveling as a couple.
Before you can give it some more thought, Vyn's words pull you back to reality. He continues scrolling down to read the comments.
You: Hmm... what is it?
Vyn: Many netizens believe that a trip is the biggest test for a couple.
Vyn: And there are those who highly recommend that couples should take a long trip at least once before marriage.
Vyn: As couples become more intimate, they are more likely to reveal their true emotions after being together for extended periods of time.
Vyn: From making trip preparations to going to an unfamiliar environment together... and dealing with the situations that arise...
Vyn: Every aspect can be considered a test of the couple's relationship.
Vyn: [Player], do you have any thoughts on this subject?
Vyn stares at you with great curiosity, as if he's waiting for your answer.
You: Yeah...
You: Yeah, I think so too.
You: A long trip is a simulation of a couple living together.
You: During the trip, couples can understand more about each other's living habits, as well as observe how they deal with emergencies...
You: It is a great way to get to know each other better.
You: I think it's flawed...
You: There's a vast difference between travel and daily life—not to mention the abundant uncontrollable factors, such as weather conditions, communication, and everything else.
You: Deciding whether the couple will work out based on a single trip... is impulsive.
Vyn: So that's what you think.
You: But that's just my personal opinion.
You: What about you? Do you agree with this argument?
You meet Vyn's gaze, his golden eyes filled with satisfaction.
Vyn: Me? I believe... this is all "idle theorizing."
Vyn: I will not know the answer unless I experience it for myself.
You: You mean...?
Vyn: Darling, would you like to take a long trip with me to experience this "couple's test" together?
You: ...
Truth be told, it's been a while since you went on a trip with Vyn due to work.
Thinking about it, you nod your head.
You: Of course! It's rare that I get a few days off, so it's a great opportunity to go on a trip with you.
Hearing your reply, the corners of Vyn's mouth lift slightly.
Afterward, he takes out several travel plans, each heavily annotated. It seems he's been planning this for a while.
You: (This... Vyn...)
You: (He must have spent a lot of time preparing... Which plan should I choose...)
Vyn: I have been wanting to go on a trip with you for some time, so I prepared travel plans for some places you might like.
Vyn: I didn't know it would come in handy today.
Vyn: It seems preparing these plans in advance has proved beneficial, for "accidents" like this.
With that, Vyn takes your hand and runs it over the travel plans.
Vyn: Take a look. Where would you like to go?
You: Hmm... let me think.
In the end, the two of you decided on the Crystal Island of Varnai as your travel destination.
After packing your luggage, you leave for Crystal Island with Vyn.
White clouds float leisurely across the azure sky, and the gentle wind brings the fresh fragrance of grass.
The seawater is so clear that you can see the bottom. Waves hit the beach and recede, over and over again...
You: We've finally reached Crystal Island! It's so beautiful here...
Vyn: Yes, it is quite beautiful. It seems we made the right decision.
You: Look, Vyn! I've never seen a beach that's as white as snow. The sand must be fine and soft...
You: It really makes you want to relax on top of it.
Vyn: If you want to try, I can accompany you later.
You: Yeah!
You are overcome with a feeling of freshness as you look around, gasping in admiration at the unique scenery of Crystal Island.
You: It feels as if I've escaped city life and entered nature's embrace.
Vyn: Crystal Island is famous for being a tropical vacation destination. It has a natural beauty when compared with the modernization of Stellis City.
Vyn: And I heard it has been hailed as the "Rose of the Sea."
You: Rose of the Sea? Why?
Vyn: People call it that because of its magnificent scenery and romantic atmosphere.
You: Hearing you say that, I can't wait to start exploring the island.
Vyn: How about we leave our luggage at the hotel first before we walk around and explore?
You: Okay!
Accompanied by the sound of waves crashing, Vyn takes your hand, and the two of you walk to the hotel.
Looking up at the side of his face, you can't help but look forward to this island trip.
