Chapter 24 His direct love proposal and an apology
Next day Eunbi wakes-up with headache. She massages her forehead and as she takes a look at her dress which she was wearing, she doesn't have any idea about who's changed her dress, and when and how has she return back to her house last night. She checks up the time on her phone and it reads 1:24 pm she couldn't believe herself that she slept until afternoon. She gets down from her bed and headed into the bathroom. Once she finishes doing her business in the bathroom she went to meet Young-soo in his room. She makes a few knocks at his room door and waited, but she didn't get any response. So she twisted the door knob, opens the room door and enters in. As she notices that he was not in there she sighed with disappointment and goes to the kitchen. She fills a glass of warm water and sits down at one of the din chairs; there she sees a paper note under the mini plastic bottle on the dining table, she picks that paper note and reads that 'I'm going to the gym, have this drink it'll help you to recover from the hangover'. She kept that paper note back on the dining table, took that hangover recovery drink from the table, open it's cap, and drank that up.
As she places the empty hangover recovery drink bottle on the table, she heard someone insert the key in the keyhole of the entrance door. She turns her head to the side towards the entrance door with a guess that it must be Young-soo, and yes her guess was right it was Young-soo, because other than him who's going to enter the house by unlocking the door with the help of the keys.
Their eyes meet with each-other as soon he entered in. "Did you just woke-up?" he asked her.
"Hmm I just woke-up."
"Good, I bought some ox-bone soup noodles for you," he kept that on the dining table and sat opposite to her, "I'm pretty sure that you are having a hangover, have this soup it'll help you to recover from the hangover." He serves the soup in two serving bowls, one for her, and another one for him. He moves one of the soup bowls over her side, "have it before it turns cold."
Before she haves the soup she asked him, "Young-soo, may I know who changed my dress, and when and how did I return back home last night? Because I only remember till I had a short of Soju when I saw you in the nightclub, after that I don't have any idea what has happened."
He smirked, "how could you remember when you passed out in the nightclub, I don't know that whether you'll listen to my request or not but I need to say this to you that I strongly request you don't go to such places anymore. And last night I took you home, and your friend Hee-Jung changed your dress. Now have the soup it's already getting warm."
She has a spoonful of soup and some noodles with thoughtful expression on her face.
"Did you think that I would have changed your dress last night?" he asked her and smirked. "Don't worry I'll never do such things without your permission. You just taught me a good lesson on that day when I forced you to sleep with me. You just changed my mind with your words saying that the physical relationship should be done under the love and mutual understandings between the husband and wife. At that moment I just realized that what I did was totally wrong. Even now also I'm telling you the same what I said to you on the other day that, I'll wait for you for more than a decade, because I strongly believe that one day we'll lead our life together as a happy couple."
Eunbi was moved with his direct love proposal with an apology. Her heart skipped a beat. She doesn't know why she's feeling uncomfortable all of a sudden. Even she couldn't make eye contact with him therefore she just haves her soup in silence.
Young-soo has never seen her feeling uneasy in front of him like this before. He wanted to make eye contact with her, he would like to curl his index finger under her chin and make her look at him, but he can't do that because she doesn't like to have the little skin-ship with him. Instead he just teased her, "Eunbi, tell me one thing, no one likes to drink Soju when there was different types of alcohol available in the nightclub, but why did you chose to have Soju? You are such a wired girl Eunbi."
She lifts her head and looks at him, "when I saw that Soju was available in the nightclub I just felt like I wanted to have some that's why I had. Yes I'm a wired girl so what, do you have any problem in that?"
Young-soo smiled with triumph as she made eye contact with him, and he continues to tease her more, "above all the funniest thing was; you just passed out in just three shorts of Soju." He said and laughed at her.
She rolled her eyes in an annoyance, "will you stop making fun of me now, and tell me why you are having the hangover soup as if you also suffer with hangover?"
He makes a serious expression on his face, "it's because I don't want you to eat the food alone when I'm with you."
This time her heart beats fast as if she's ran for a mile, she clears her throat and haves the soup again in silence. She wonders; today why my heart is reacting to his answers. Is that because of the hangover or what? Yes it must be because of my hangover that's why I'm feeling uncomfortable in front of him. I'll will be alright in an hour.
