My problem is I never think about decisions, I just make them and I probably would have never realized this if I ddn't get cancer. As my stayed uncomfortable on Min's thigh and my body laid on the couch in a weird position, I got to know to know something about me.
Hey," he said with a smirk. "This is a weird position, let me sit up straight and I promise I won't leave until you say we're through with the conversation," I promised. "Okay," he said, pecked my forehead and helped me up. I took a deep breath and sat down. "Are we done talking?" i asked him. "I thinking asking is part of you breaking your promise," he stated. "No it's not," I argued. "I think it is," he said. "Fine, I won't ask again," I replied. We both sat in silence watching one another's move. "So where did you go with your driver?" he asked.After I got in my baggy jeans, I grabbed my phone, the document that stated I was the owner of the condo and the key card. "Let's go!" I shouted enthusiastically at Min. He let me lead him to the taxi and then to the apartment. We arrived at the complex thirty minutes later and I was still so excited. I gave the receptionist my file and asked for another key card, she handed me one after running a ten minutes security check on I and Min. I got into the elevator and clicked the fifth floor. When we got there, there were only five apartments on the floor and my apartment was at the far edge. I opened the door and ran to the middle of the room. "What do you think?" I asked Min. He looked around but gave no reply. The condo was fully furnished according to Mom's impressive taste, which was basically white and basic, but all the furnitures were covered with white cotton sheets. "Dust," i whispered and pulled the white sheet covering a white three seater. All the dust cam off immediately
The next morning, I was woken by the weight of something on me, in panic, I stood up startling Min Jun awake. "Sorry," I apologized when I realized it was his hand on me. "What happened?" He asked. "I forgot to put the barricade and your hand was wrapped around my waist, it was quite heavy so I panicked without investigating the cause and mistakenly woke you up," I explained. "What barricade?" he asked. I pointed between the bed and he nodded. "Sorry, I should have slept in thr living room," he said and aimed to leave the bed. "Wait! Min you don't have to go, it was just a surprise, you have really heavy arms," I joked. "I guess, going to the gym paid off," he said and flexed his muscles. I laughed and held his left triceps. "It's pretty huge," I said. "What can you lift?" I asked him. "You," he answered. I laughed and before I could react, I was being
We had been in the hotel for the week and it was finally time to leave, I called Mr. Jiang and he was willing to come help me move my boxes to the new apartment. My stay at the hotel was wonderful, I was going to miss the meal delivery and how I got to eat anything I watned wiethout bein scolded or chatised by my parents. Freedom sure did taste sweet.My boxes were arranged in the boot and it was time to hit the road."Is everything ready miss?" Mr. Jiang asked. I nodded at him and he started driving. Min offered to sit with him in front while I was left alone in the back seat. I usually sat here alone but today it was boring, they both sat in front and conversed like they knew one another for ages, but me who Mr Jiang has known for years, he left alone and has refused to stop calling me miss. I pouted and restrained from throwing a tantrum, I was too old for those.The thirty minute drive to the condo was the longest thrity m
The next morning I woke up feeling very good and happy, I needed to tick another thin on my bucket list and the easiest was to go to a park. My dad always thought ti was a waste of time to take me there and mom was never going to go against dad and I didn't have friends who could tag along so I never really got o go to one. I went to the kitchen and stared at all the different ingredients and foodstuff, i wanted to do something nice for Min but I'll rather not poison him. After searching for a while I found bacon strips, eggs and the bread loaf. That should do as breakfast. I turned on the electric kettle, while the water boiled, I searched online for how to cook bacon and followed their actions exactly. I fried the bacon strips and fried the egg, the egg ended up a bit burnt but we could manage it. I made two cups of black coffee, took the sugar storage container and the milk carton to the living room and set the table to the best of my ability. i smiled at my work and I was really
I tried everything to get Min back for sticking ice cream on my face for the second time but all my opportunities failed. It was almost evening and the park was starting to get more visitors, I had to retreat and we had to go home. "Hey at least you got free ice cream," Min teased. "I didn't want free ice cream, I wanted to get a chance to get you back for making me sticky and sandy," I groaned. "It's all part of the Min park experience and you'll get another chance soon," he said. "That's a lie," I argued. We argued back and forth until we got to the apartment, opened the door and saw my parents in it. "Welcome," my dad said. "You're in my apartment," I whispered shocked to see my parents. I haven't seen both of them since I got married a week ago. Min hit me with hos elbow and when I turned to complain, he mouthed greet. "Where are my manners?" I asked rhetorically and laughed but no one else laughed. That was funnier in my head. "Left in the family house," dad answered. "Go
The next morning I woke up with a banging headache and swollen eyes. I held my head and wandered what i had thought about that left me feeling so sore and tired. I waited for a few minutes and when the ache calmed down, I went to the living room, there was no Min or any sign of another life in the apartment. "I wonder where he went," I thought. I enter the dinning and noticed a plate was covered and underneath it, there was a note sticking out. I looked around, I didn't know what I was searching for but if I had found it, I probably would have known. ...Hey, I tried coming into our room but it was locked, figured you must have forgotten you now live with your husband or you didn't want me in our room. I still don't know which you want, but I think you need a little space, so I am giving you space to think. I will be home befor
The night ended without any argument and I was so happy about it, I could relish the thoughts of the perfect dinner without having to think of anything bad about it. We got settled into our room's bed. Min slept on the side that was close to the door while I slept close to the window. When I was in the Lin mansion, I slept in the middle of the bed but I couldn't do that now, I didn't want to make Min uncomfortable and hot. I laid facing the ceiling, smiling at the memory of dinner. "Are you awake?" min asked. I kept quiet waiting to decide if I was hearing things or he really spoke to me, but he didn't say anything else. I stood up and checked on him, his eyes were close and he looked so peaceful. His long lashes laid resting on his under eye. 'He must be really sleepy,' I thought, but before I could return to my position, he rose up and I went flying to the ground. I laid on the rug with my legs on the bed. "Ouch!" I groaned. Min looked at me and smiled. "That hurt," I whimpered
Why was he being so difficult? All he had to do was take the toothpaste and squeeze the bottom. "It makes it easier in the long run," I replied to his opinion of thinking of thinking it didn't matter. "No, when squeezing from the middle stops working, one simple squeeze at the bottom and you're good to go," he argued. "No it doesn't," I argued. I dragged the paste from Min to prove my point but I felt my towel loosen around my chest and before I could react it was seated at my legs and I was naked in front of Min. "You are right, squeeze from the bottom," he said and excused himself from the bathroom. I stood there flustered. I blinked twice and ben to pick up my towel. I said I wasn't going to argue with Min, I should have kept my words, if I had kept my words, I wouldn't be wrapping my towel around me after it fell in front of him. To think he warned me about moving so freely. How did I forget that I was in a towel. I turned to look at the mirror and slapped more colour into my r
It has been a year since Mei died and I was starting to get used to her not being around. Although today that I remembered that she would have been alive with the bay and I, it hurts. Our daughter is a year old and she looks so much like Mei. Her hair is really long, it already reached mid back. She’s shy and lives the rose bushes. It seems like she’s a reincarnation of her mother. She plays around at her house. She also loves the rose vase where Mei’s things are being held. They gave me the rings and the locket and buried her like that. I have my daughter the locket but the rings were stored in the rose. I would make sure to keep it somewhere safe and away from Mei. It’s too precious to get lost. “Mei,” I called out to her. She ran down the stairs, stood in front of me and smiled. She was still wobbly and I always warned her not run down the stairs. She started walking three months ago and now she thinks running down the stairs is such an easy task. “Mei, I keep telling you to
Maybe I should have told her to save her breath, I shouldn’t have let her tell me everything, but did I let her explain all her feelings? I know how she felt about me, she didn’t need to narrate our love story to me. She didn't need to tell me everything, but I sat down and listened for hours while she said everything. I felt like the worst person on earth as I watched her lay on the bed breathless and lifeless. She used to have so much life, so much joy, she was always so beautiful. I had the best thing ever but like everything else she was taken away from me. I tapped the call button immediately she closed her eyes but there was nothing they could do. I watched the doctors run around me and I just drifted from the space and went back into the time when it was just me and her. The first day I met her when she asked me to marry her. I was surprised by her confidence and it scared me. I loved how persistent she was and kept chasing me until I was signed to a contract that brought me
The next morning, I woke up with the same pain that was now familiar but it hurt more. it felt harder to talk, to come up to words, my head was banging and I wanted it all to end, the pain, me. it was too much to handle. My radiotherapy was set for four and my drugs weren't helping to make me feel better. My head still hurt after taking two dosages of the pills. I stopped not wanting to overdose, although I already did. I was up before Mom, Dad, and Min and I couldn't sleep back although it was four am. I got out of bed and tried to come down from the bed. I lost my balance and before I fell, Min caught me. I smiled at him and fainted. When I woke up it was already afternoon and my radiotherapy session had been moved to the next day. I groaned when I found out. Can I get over the whole process already? It was starting to annoy me."Are you alright?" Min asked and I nodded. "My head hurts a little, it must have caused me to lose my balance," I explained to Min and he nodded. He touch
I woke up and realized I was in the hospital. How did I end up here? The last thing I remembered, was hugging everyone goodbye, and Min and I were ready to go to bed. in smiled at me as I turned to look at him. He looked really stressed and tired. He looked like he hadn't slept in a long time. I touched the eye bags and frowned. He took my hand and kissed it. I looked and saw that I was connected to an IV drip. I never understood why we couldn't just drink all the contents but its name says it all; drip, there's only ever a drop every second, and it's so freaking slow. "What happened?" I asked Min. "you fainted and I rushed you here," he explained. I heard shuffling in the background and noticed my parents were also in the room. Everyone looked stressed like they hadn't slept all through the night. "I called your parents when I got here," Min informed me. "You didn't have to call them, I'll be fine," I tell him and try to clear my throat, the pain made it hard to talk but not as ha
We returned to the condo the next day and decided we would move on Wednesday. Min had to be at the restaurant every day but he could take a break from Wednesday to Friday. The weekends were expected to be packed because the first day was a huge success and the men returned at six P.m. He had called me at least ten times today and each time he spent at least ten minutes talking to me. I kept asking if he didn't need to focus, and he said he had to and he was focusing on me. He was so cute and romantic and knew all the right words to say. He had come earlier to have dinner with me and had left the meal in the hands of his trusted chefs and the waiters that started working today. "Hey," I said when he walked in. “Hey baby, I missed you. Are you sure you don't want to come to the restaurant with me?" he asked me."What do you want me to do at the restaurant? I am not very cooking and I can't be a waiter, my baby wouldn't let me move around with that much ease," I told him. "Mei junior
My parents left our apartment at ten p.m and I should have gone to bed but I wasn't sleepy and neither was Min. i decided it was best to open my gifts and decided to ask Min for help."Can you help me unbox my present?" Min shook his head refusing to help me. "But it's so stressful and I need your help," I whined and he looked at me. "Come on Min," I pleaded."Fine, but I won't unwrap the gifts with you, I'll just watch you and bring anything you need," he negotiated and I agreed to it. Min pulled the bean he had bought for me. We unwrapped all the gifts and they were so cute. They had bought me little baby things, most of the essentials I would be needing. There were napkins, blankets, a baby carrier and some few things.“See we don’t have to buy that many baby things,” I said to Min and he laughed.I picked up the last gifts which were my parents gift. It was paper and it was put in a brown envelope, there was no fancy design, just straight to the point. I opened the envelop and saw
It seemed like my presence changed the atmosphere in the room because everyone turned in my direction and they looked surprised to see me there. I definitely wasn't dressed like them and I was a very pregnant woman. "Good afternoon," I greeted with a very wide grin."Who are you?" Someone asked. "The restaurant doesn't open until four," Someone else said. "Who left the front door open?"Another one asked. "You did, you were the last person outside," another said. "Oh," the door person asked. "Miss would you like to wait till the restaurant opens or are you going to return by four?" the curious one asked. "Oh! I am here for Min," I said feeling shy. "The owner?" The curious asked. "Yeah, he's my husband," I announced. I barely got to ask for him. again when I saw MIn walking in with his chef outfit. He looked so cute. Sorry handsome and all those masculine features. He looked at me shocked to see me here. "Hey," I said shyly. "Babe? What are you doing here?" he asked me. "I
After my little announcement, everyone made a toast to Min and to the opening of his restaurant. He pulled me into him and drank from his glass. I smiled at him and he kissed my forehead. "You know Min steals all your brain cells with those forehead kisses right?" June asked and everybody laughed. "I actually feel smarter and more loved every time he kisses my forehead. are you sure he isn't just pouring his brain cells and love in my head?" I asked. "That's they get them all," June said. I loved June and how she made everywhere funnier when she had had a sip of her daily dose of coffee. She was standing in between my mom and dad and smiling at them. I could tell Dad was uncomfortable but he deserved the little torture for everything he has done to Min and I. Min might have let it slide by inviting Dad to my birthday but I'll need more than him coming here for me to forgive everything he's done. "Thank you all for the toasts and celebrating the restaurant but today's about m
I remember telling Min my birthday date on his birthday, he had purposely not told me about his birthday, but I wanted him to know mine for it to be fair. I also barely got the chance to prepare or buy him a gift but I wasn't letting him do that to me, also Min makes the best surprises and they always blow my mind. He needed time for it to be more effective. I am also glad, I listened to my thoughts and told him earlier. He has been so busy, I doubt he has the time to do anything special for my birthday. If I hadn’t gotten the information from Cheng, I probably wouldn’t know Min’s birthday and that is wrong. I was going to give him the chance to feel this way so I told him about my birthday. I woke up feeling pumped about my birthday. I also spent all night praying that my hormones acted right. The last dinner on the roof was amazing but I ended up balling my eyes out for absolutely no reason. I had the best time after crying, but I wished I didn't have to cry. We watched a movie, a
