「Diary Entry」
January 1
So..
I was on a newly opened steam boat on New Year's Eve.
Why? Business calls.
I hated it.
I wouldn't waste my time just partying with people I barely even know. I don't even have anyone who I truly connect with. Doña Seulgi couldn't make it. As for the ones on the ship, they don't look like they're worth talking to, seeing how drunk they have gotten. I think my face muscles have had enough smiling for that night. It was tiring and the night was still young.
To somehow escape, I went on the deck. To be fair, the views were amusing. With that, I mean the very view the river has to offer, and to that man who was just sipping his wine on his own, out there and not partying inside.
He was odd; he preferred not to party and just be there in peace while sipping his wine. Weird, though he had all my attention.
I spent the whole night with him, and I kinda wished morning did not come so fast. I didn't even caught his name.
Oh well.

⟨ - Journal Entry - ⟩
February 10.
Business is going well. I still need to visit the vineyard and winery one last time tomorrow before heading out to the small shops, talk to the vendors about their supply of wine from us. After that, my schedule should be vacant for at least a month.
Should I be planning where to travel next? I heard from a good friend about this impeccable wine that he's had in Germany. Should I visit again? I am a little unsure.
Although I remember my last trip from Germany. I met a lady on the deck of the ship on my way back to London. She thought I was odd for not being at the party inside. I told her I'm not that fond of loud parties. I preferred the calmness of the night, the gentle breeze, the soft and calm sound of the waters, admiring the view of the night sky while sipping on my glass of wine. We chatted that night, though I never got to ask her name. Perhaps, some other time, if we manage to cross each other's paths once again.
And I suppose I could postpone my trip planning for tomorrow after my shop visits. Maybe they could give me ideas where to travel for my next wine adventure.
