My Instant Marriage

Finally, Eunbi's semester break comes to an end and her daily routine college life has started, and both of them were busy with their own works even thought Eunbi never fails to take Young-soo to visit psychologist everyday in the evening to attend the daily counseling.

Young-soo, he himself could feel the gradual improvement in his mind through the mental exercises, advices, and meditations are taught in the regular psychologist counseling session. He didn't get any hallucination of his past and doesn't get sick by looking at the house maids.

The psychologist informed the couple, "Mr. Young-soo you have improved a lot, hereafter you don't need to get daily counseling anymore only twice in a week is enough for you, but every day you must follow all the mental exercises which you have learned in the counseling session, and Mrs. Young-soo please watch your husband whether he is following all my advices regularly or not and visit me after three days."

"Of-course doctor," Eunbi replied.

The couple was so happy to hear the good news from the doctor. To celebrate it, Young-soo took Eunbi for a long ride in his car on the beach side road. It was almost 12 am but they were still enjoying the long ride without knowing where they are heading. As he looked at the 24 hour convenience store he pulled over the car on the parking lot, took her to the store, bought two instant noodles, eggs, and cheese for toppings, and she bought some triangle kimbap. He asked her to sit down at one of the chairs and table available at the outside of the store, and he went to get the noodles cooked with the help of the automated noodles making machines which was available in the store. Once the noodles got cooked he carried the two foil containers full of noodles in his both hands, he walked to her table, and kept the containers on the table.

Once they had the noodles, and kimbap he asked, "Eunbi, do you know how to drive the car?"

"Yes, I know," she answered.

"Perfect" he said and gets into the store bought some canned beers for him and a canned soda for her. He returned back to their table, first he took out the canned soda from the paper bag, slips his finger underneath the soda tab carefully lifted up the tab slowly and made it open, he placed it on the table to her side, "this is for you." He said and as he took out a canned beer from the paper bag Eunbi's facial expression changed into a serious one because she doesn't want him to have hard drinks so she requested him not to have it.

"Eunbi, do you know how happy I am feeling right now? I could understand you that you are scared whether I'll take advantage from you like the incident which has happened few months ago when I returned back home by consuming alcohol, isn't? You don't worry I promise you that I'll not touch you even I'll not allow my shadow to touch you. Please Eunbi, I need it so badly, please, please try to understand me," he begged her crazily.

She tightly pressed her lips together and nodded her head in approval, "but only one canned beer."

He nodded his head, "thank you chingu ya," he said by smiling sheepishly and opened the canned beer, did cheers with her canned soda and gulped down some beer.

"I couldn't understand whether I'm living in the reality or in the dream world, it's one of my happiest and unforgettable days in my life. Without you I cannot feel the changes in myself. Do you know how happy I'm feeling right now? He asked and opened another fresh canned beer, emptied it one go and shoved the empty can on the table. His cheeks and ears were turned red in color, "this is our happiest and unforgettable day in my life," he said once again loudly.

Eunbi hushed him, "Yes, of-course it's one of the unforgettable day of your life, but don't shout."

He nodded his head.

"Now shall we move from here?" she asked him and gazed at her wrist watch, "it's already 1.30 am, give me your remote car key."

He took out the remote car key from one of his pant pockets and gave it to her. They walked near to their car, and get into their car. Eunbi sat down on the driver's seat and Young-soo sat down on the passenger's seat. She started the car engine entered the destination on the navigator of the car and drove car according to the route instructions given on the navigator. Young-soo was impressed with the way she drives the car smoothly and carefully.

Once they reach their house she carefully parked the car in the garage of the house, and turned off the car engine. As she was about to get out of the car he called her name, 'Eunbi'. She turned her head to his side, looked at him, and asked, "What?"

He gave her a bar of chocolate saying, "Thank you so much for taking care of my health."

Eunbi was moved with his gratitude; she takes the chocolate bar from his hand, "Oh! Come on Young-soo, I can understand you and you know what? You don't need to thank me for taking care of you, because as your friend it's my responsibilities to take care of you when you are in need, and also make your life a pleasant-full one."

His heart skipped a beat for a second, he thought she would mention her that 'as your wife it's my responsibilities to take care of you,' but to his dismay she just mentioned him as her friend.

She unwrap the chocolate bar's cover, broke a small piece of it, and fed it to him, "you really worked hard to feel the changes in your life, Young-soo. I adore your hard works."

He gave her a gentle smile, "thank you for making me to reborn as a new person because without you I could not be able to find the solution to put an end to my dark past." He grabbed her hand which is holding the chocolate bar, made her have a bite of it.

Tears was threatening her eyes because no one has said like this to her before, she wanted to hug him but she didn't, because her mind stops her to do so. "Will you stop talking as if it's all happened only because of me, as I already said it's a gift for your hard work with the help of the psychologist counseling, therefore keep up your hard work to fully recover from your trauma. Now let's get into the house and go to bed I'm feeling so tried and sleepy." She said and yawned.

As soon as she got into her room she changed into a nightgown, lay down on the bed and thought. God, he is driving me crazy why he is behaving so well with me and I could feel the truthfulness from his eyes. If he continues to behave like this to me soon I'm going to fall in love with him. She sat down at the center of the bed, shook of her thoughts, inhale and exhale deeply, come back to your sense, Eunbi this is called an infatuation a foolish attraction. Don't worry you'll be all right gradually, moreover, you are going to divorce him in a few months no matter what to get away from this marriage life. So concentrate on your studies and aim to graduate with top rank, now close your eyes and sleep, she advised to herself.

At the same time Young-soo was sleeping in his room peacefully with a hope that one day Eunbi will accept him as her husband. That night he got a dream like playing with a cute one year old girl in the water pool of the house on a sunny day, while Eunbi was happily looking at them by relaxingly sitting down on the armchair with one hand placed on her pregnant belly.

Next day in the morning while having the breakfast with Eunbi the previous night's dream flashed in his mind he stole a glance at her, imagines as if now she was sitting down with a pregnant belly.

Eunbi couldn't guess why he stole a glance at her, "do you want to say something to me?" she asked him.

He shook his head, "nothing."

"Then have your breakfast properly without glancing at me." She replied.

He nodded.
