Once the music was stopped playing the guests are requested to take their respective seats to start the charity auction.
When they sit next to each-other Young-soo held her hand and interlocks his fingers with hers. And to his surprise she didn’t pull her hand away so he looked at her and gave a smile. She felt like she wanted to pull her hand from his grasp but she couldn’t because their parents were sitting next to them. She grabbed a wine glass from the table, drinks some, and relaxes herself.
In the auction Young-soo bought some paintings and a framed Lionel Messi’s signed Barcelona soccer jersey.
After the auction the presented guests were converse to one-another. Young-soo and his friend Hoon-suk grab a wine glasses and walks few meters away from their family members to have a chat.
"How things are going between you and Eunbi?" Hoon-suk asked.
Young-soo took a sip of wine from his glass, "we are getting close slowly by getting to know each-other." He smiles by looking at his wine glass, "I don’t know what happen to me, but I think I have fallen in love with her already."
Hoon-suk patted Young-soo’s arm, "that so cool to hear that from you man. So when are you planning to propose your love to her?"
"I have expressed my love to her indirectly for twice but she didn’t show any reaction to that. I don’t know whether she really couldn’t understand the real meaning behind my proposal or she was pretended as if she couldn’t understand."
"Then directly propose your love to her?" Hoon-suk asked.
"I’m little nervous to do so." He said and gulped down the entire wine of his glass. While the two best friends discussing about their life a woman in her mid twenties interrupted them, "hey guys how are you?"
The guys casually replied her that they were doing well. And she asks Young-soo about his marriage, "I heard that you got married, you didn’t invite me for your wedding, you invited my father but you forget to invite me personally anyways, my hearty congratulation," she congratulated him by shaking her hand with him.
Young-soo thanked her with a smile and apologized for not inviting her personally for his wedding.
"Don’t you introduce me to your wife? She asked him. freewebnov el.com
"Yeah, sure," he said and looked at Eunbi waved his hand, as she look at him he beckon his hand to come over to him. Eunbi nodded her head and walks over to him.
As that woman saw that Eunbi was walking over to them, "your wife looks so beautiful," she commented, without warning she hugged Young-soo, and kissed his cheek. Young-soo was startled with her actions and his eyes are widened. As Eunbi saw that woman was hugging and kissing Young-soo she stopped walking and stays still for a few seconds. He pulled her away and asked her, "what the hell you thing you did?"
"This is you punishment for not inviting me personally to your wedding." That woman said.
Eunbi’s heart aches to see that, she frowns her brows in anger and walks to them. As soon as she came and stood next to Young-soo, he explains, "Eunbi it’s not that what you are thinking." She stopped him by wrapping her hand around his arm before he starts to explain the situation, "I’m feeling tired and sleepy so let’s move from here now," she said roughly.
As he saw that she looks so serious and angry he just nodded his head, "come let’s inform about our leave to our parents."
She tightens her grip over his arms, "no need let’s just leave now, and later you inform about it to them through the phone." She said and walks him away from that place. In the elevator she saw the red lipstick kiss mark on his cheek through the elevator’s mirror. She pointed her index finger at the reflection of his face on the mirror and asked him to wipe that mark over his cheek. As he looks at his face on the mirror he was shocked to see the lipstick kiss mark over his cheek, he took out his handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped that mark from his cheek.
The elevator door opens when it reaches the ground floor. He grabbed her wrist, "Eunbi let me explain what really has happened."
She pulled back her hand from his grasp, "will you ask our car driver to bring the car to the entrance."
He nodded her head and made a call to the car driver. They waited at the entrance of the hotel for a few minutes and when their car reaches, the car’s drive gets down from the car, opens the car door for them, once they get in, he shuts the car’s door, and drove the car.
In the car Eunbi turn her head towards the car’s window while Young-soo stares at her face waiting for the right chance to start over the conversation. Eunbi was irritated as he kept on staring her face without taking his eyes off of her, "why are you keep on looking at me, look somewhere else."
"I’ll not take my eyes off you until you listen to my explanation."
She pressed her lips in line.
"I’ll take your silence as a yes, listen the woman who kissed me was my childhood friend, and I asked you to join us to introduce you to her. But I never expect that she’ll do like that to me and after kissing me she said that it was a punishment for not inviting her personally for our wedding. Believe me we are just friends other than that we don’t have any kind of relationship between us." He explained.
She smirked, "I don’t care even if you have some other relationship with her. Don’t you know that our parents were also presented in there, what if they saw that nonsense?"
"I think your problem is not all about if any one of our parents saw that I was kissed by a woman. You are jealous that I was kissed by her, am I right?"
"What?" she shrugged her shoulders, "why should I get jealous? Stop imagining things, Young-soo." She said with a stern look.
He smiles to himself and shakes his head in disagreement. In a few minutes their parents called him one by first his mother and then her father, to know why they left the party without informing them. Young-soo replied that he felt so tired therefore he left the party earlier before them, and apologized for his irrespective behavior for leaving the party without informing them. f reeweb novel.com
Once they reach their hotel room Young-soo first went to the bathroom to freshen up while Eunbi sat down in front of the dressing table and removes the make-up over her face with the help of the make-up remover. After a few minutes he came out of the bathroom wearing his casual night outfit, power on television with the help of the remote controller, and sat down on the sofa. Now it’s her turn to freshen up so she gathered up her hair made it in a messy high-up bun with the help of a hair pin, and gets into the bathroom by carrying her night comfy. As she was undoing the zipper of her dress unfortunately her hair bun was untied and spread over her back. Few strands of hair got struck along with the zipper of her dress. She tried her best to pull out her hair from the zipper but she couldn’t, so she walked out of the bathroom and asked help from Young-soo.
He stalked towards her and stood behind her. He asked her to hold the free hair, and then he slowly and gently pulled away the hair from the zipper. As he was done his heart beats by looking at the nape of her neck. He swallowed the lump of his throat, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her closer to him, and rested his chin on her shoulder. Eunbi’s heart was also started to beat with a rapidly speed as soon he touches her. As she was about to open her mouth to say let me go he speaks before she speaks. "I don’t know what happened to me for the past few months, all I wanted to see is the happiness in your face and hold your hands forever because you are my angel and everything to me."
She didn’t imagine that he would express his feelings to her once again in a short period. He unwraps his arms of her waist made her face him, then he cupped her face with his hands, and looked at her eyes, "my friend kissed me playfully, don’t take it as a serious issue, I’m saying this to you once again that I don’t have any relationship with her other than friendship. I promise you that I’ll never cheat you at any moment." He pressed the side of his cheek with her soft smooth cheek which his friend kissed him a while before. "I’m yours, and I belong only to you. No one can interfere in our relationship," he whispered in her ears.
Eunbi closed her eyes for the entirely new feeling, and she tightly clenched her dress in her hands over her thighs. He parted his cheek from hers, then he cupped her face once again she opens her eyes and look at him. "Thank you for coming into my life, Eunbi. You mean a lot to me." He said and presses his lips with hers. She quickly pushed him away from her and ran back to the bathroom, shut the door, and stood behind it. Her body was shaking, she felt like she has got fever. She touched her lips with her fingers, recalled the way how he expressed his feelings to her and thought, why did I decided to get close to him, God, I don’t know where this is going to end.
He felt so insulted and humiliated with his behavior. He stood in front of the mirror look at his reflection, gave a slap across his face, and asked himself, what happened to you, why did you kiss her? You are a stupid to do so, Young-soo. He anxiously walked here and there in the room and thinks that how to compromise her if she takes that in a wrong way.
He breathes in relief as he saw her comes out of the bathroom, and thanked god in his mind. "I thought you are going to spend the night in the bathroom like you did on our wedding night. I am extremely sorry to take advantage from you I didn’t mean to do that, I am extremely sorry again, so please don’t take it in a wrong way."
Eunbi couldn’t look at his face, she blushes harder and her cheeks are blazing hot she felt like she wanted to fan her cheeks immediately with the help of her hands but she doesn’t want to do it in front of him. She doesn’t know why her heart aches to hear his apologies. She wanted to scold and give him a tight slap across his face but something stopped her. She bites her lower lip and massages her hands anxiously, doesn’t know the meaning that, why she’s feeling this way.
He stood in front of her, "Eunbi if you want to slap me, please go ahead I’m fine with it because I deserve it."
She took a deep breath, "Young-soo, please I don’t want to discuss about this matter anymore. Why don’t we forget about this matter and pretend as if nothing has happened because it’s pushing both of us into an awkward situation. Am I right?"
He nodded his head, "yes you are right, I agree with you, it’s very awkward to discuss about this matter." He rubs the nape of his neck for a few seconds and said, "It’s already pretty late let us go to sleep, I will sleep on the sofa, and you take the bed." He took the pillow and a quilt from the bed, walked near to the sofa, put the pillow at one corner of the sofa, and lay down. He covered his body with the quilt, and said, "good night."
