Stark Industries' World Expo Tomorrow.

Colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky above the venue, and the venue was packed with people.

Elaine Yeon, who was afraid that her bad habit would act up again, hugged Steve's arm tightly and refused to let go.

Steve was already used to the girl's behavior.

But Baki, who he met for the first time, was different. He deeply regretted that he had called to reject the two ladies who had made an appointment to come to the exhibition together.

Oh no!

Maybe he had work to do.

That was to use his eyes to warn some men who were tempted by Elaine Yeon's beautiful little face.

A male voice came from the broadcast of the exhibition. "Welcome to the Modern Miracle Exhibition Hall, Tomorrow's World, a stronger world, a more perfect world."

This meant that tonight's important performance was about to appear.

Baki pushed his friend and the girl to a good seat in the front row. He saw a beautiful actress on the stage holding a microphone and saying excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Howard Stark."

Then a man with a mustache wearing a black hat rushed up from behind the curtain. He smiled and kissed the beautiful actress, then took out a piece of tissue from his pocket and wiped the lipstick on his mouth.

Tsk tsk!

Elaine Yeon frowned in disgust.

But … why did she feel that the mustache on the stage was a little familiar?

"Hello everyone!

I'm Howard Stark. "

A slightly low and magnetic male voice sounded.

Howard Stark!

Stark!!

Tony!!!

Elaine Yeon's lavender eyes instantly lit up. It was rare for her to react so quickly. The person standing on the stage was Tony's grandfather?

Father?

She lowered her head and began to calculate with her fingers very seriously.

Elaine Yeon remembered that Tony was 40 years old more than 70 years later, so if this Stark in front of her was Tony's grandfather … it didn't seem like it.

So, it should be his father!

The kind that had a son at an old age!

That's right!

Elaine Yeon was so impressed by her own intelligence that her face turned red with excitement. She let go of Steve's arm.

When Steve felt the weight on his arm disappear, he turned around and saw Elaine Yeon staring at the mustached man on stage.

He felt a little stuffy in his chest.

It was probably because there were too many people in the venue, so the air was not circulating.

Could it be that Elaine Yeon's type?

Was he the type who could casually kiss a girl in public?

He took a deep breath and looked away.

Then, he saw a recruitment notice.

Steve didn't expect to hear about conscription here.

He, who had never given up on the idea of joining the army, turned around and left.

Then …

Bucky and Elaine, who were left in place, began to stare at each other.

"Where's Steve?"

"Haven't you been holding onto him all this time?"

"I just let go!"

"Oh my god, don't tell me he was kidnapped!"

Baki immediately looked around, trying to find the short guy in the khaki jacket in the crowd. Unfortunately … what attracted his attention was the large recruitment poster behind him.

"Okay, I think I know where the guy went."

With a long sigh, Baki reached out and grabbed Elaine Yeon's wrist. "Sorry, excuse me."

Through the crowd, he saw Steve standing on a small stage, trying to see what he looked like in his military uniform.

Baki took a deep breath and walked behind him. He patted him on the shoulder. "Hey!

Steve, we agreed that we were going to relax tonight. "

Steve, who came back to his senses, turned around and looked at his friend and the girl with a worried expression.

He tried very hard to force a smile. "I'm sorry, Bucky. Why don't you take Elaine for a walk first?

I'll be there in a bit. "But he couldn't hide his sadness at all.

Looking at Steve like this, Elaine Yeon felt a little stuffy in her chest.

She walked in front of him and grabbed his hand.

Even if this hand wasn't as strong as it would be in the future, where it could completely wrap around her fist and punch a hole in the ground, it was still very warm.

"Steve …"

Mr. Steve Rogers looked at the girl in front of him. She took his hand and rubbed it against her face.

Her pink lips, which were smeared with lipstick, gently spat out his name.

His breathing became a little rapid at this moment, and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

But when he saw the worried lavender eyes, he calmed down.

He smiled and took the opportunity to caress her slightly cold little face.

"I'm fine, Elaine Yeon. You and Baki go shopping first, I'll be there in a bit."

…

However, Elaine Yeon didn't expect that.

When Steve said 'a little while' — it was not a little while at all!

When she and Baki waited for Steve to come out of the recruitment office, the crescent moon was already hanging in the sky.

Elaine Yeon, who was so tired, really wanted to snuggle into Baki's arms, pull his clothes, and ask him to tell her a story or something.

But Elaine Yeon didn't forget that Baki was not close enough to her to tell her a bedtime story.

So when she saw Steve, that big idiot, finally appear, she immediately rushed into his arms and put her hands around his neck. "Steve!

Sleepy.

I want a hug. "

Steve shook his head helplessly, bent down, and picked up the girl in front of him.

He watched as she naturally rubbed her head against his shoulder and then closed her eyes. His heart was filled with complicated emotions.

He looked up at Baki and found that he didn't have any intention of helping. Instead, he had a strange smile on his face.

That feeling was like an old mother seeing her daughter get married …

"Hey, Baki!" Steve couldn't help but frown.
