Jin-Ae clapped her hands in excitement and went to the kitchen looking for plates.
"Oh, what are you doing here? I speculated you went to start a movie" Jin-Ae inquired, furrowing her eyebrows as she entered the lavender-scented kitchen and opened the cabinets to find the plates.
"Ahh, Nothing! I'm... I'm thirsty." He hastily mumbled while scratching his neck and peeking everywhere but her.
Jin-Ae got absorbed into the moment as she was trying not to make any noise and wake muffin up.
He rashly came out of the kitchen and sighed loudly.
"I almost got caught" he grumbled to himself as he took some popcorns in his hand and settled down on the couch.
"Here, water!
Why did you run out like that? I'm not gonna eat you." Min-Jae opened his eyes wide, to which Jin-Ae grinned at his silliness.
Jin-Ae was glaring at him, taking up all the remaining time to memorize his every little detail so she doesn't forget how he looks like.
She knew she'll never have the vitality to confess and she'll have to be patient, as she doesn't know when she'll back.
Min-Jae was about to drink water when the strong, cold twirl of waft made the curtains in hall roll aside.
The moon was done fiddling hide and seek, it couldn't resist seeing Min-Jae.
Min-Jae's hair got messed up. It was so dramatic that Jin-Ae flickered at him for a moment, not being able to register how he possessed such duality.
A soft blush began to garnish her cheeks when she started fantasizing whilst Min-Jae frowned slightly, running a hand through his messed up hair.
What a view! Min-Jae with a shiny, alluring forehead. She mentally sobbed with a dramatic scowl on her face as she perched herself down beside him.
He was looking mischievously hot.
Her eyes couldn't stop goggling the curves on his loose button-down shirt and the way his shirt only hugged his forearm telling her that he spent his share of time in the gym.
The tension increased.
Min-Jae felt her eyes on him, he dwindled his eyes to her as he finally caught her this time.
"Heyy!" He grinned evilly as he wiggled his eyebrows naughtily
Jin-Ae immediately came out of her fantasy.
"Am I looking that hot or is there anything bothering you huh?" he solicited.
"Noo"
"What am I doing? Why am I embarrassing myself like that? Ugh, love is stupid." he thought.
"Um- Ah, nothing, what do you want to watch?" She slightly cackled, whereas his brown eyes flickered over her body as his brows arched up in confusion.
Suddenly, he came near, a lot more than needed.
His vigorous, veiny arms held her shoulders and then, swivelled her in his direction. He couldn't stop but gape in her heartwarming eyes.
Her breath hitched from his sudden act as she tried to swallow down the lump formed in her throat to act as normal as possible.
It was silent and awkward yet it somehow soothed her mind, more to be exact both of them embraced each other's warmth.
Jin-Ae was so into the moment. She was numb and the most alive she has ever been at the same time. She felt the moon peeping at her and back talking to the stars about her felicity as relaxation began spiking in her blood.
Unexpectedly, Min-Jae tightened his hold on her hand as he broke the silence, Jin-Ae winced. "I have something to tell you before you go."
The sexual tension between the two of them intensified as he kept maintaining the eye contact, staring deep into her eyes, Jin-Ae smiled and scantily backed away.
"Oh, what is it?" She asked getting up to bring some popcorn making the moment less salacious.
He immediately grasped her wrist and stopped her. Jin-Ae stood there frozen in the same place startling, not knowing what to do.
He stood up and whispered in her ear, "let's go somewhere, I have something planned for you."
"What do you mean?", Jin-Ae queried, looking at his expression which was hard for her to read. She wished she could read his thoughts.
"Are you going to just stare at me the entire time?" He called out, smirking naughtily.
"You are the one who's acting cheesy ruining my movie marathon", Jin-Ae pouted before turning away from him to hide the burning sensation on her cheeks.
Well, you never leave a chance to embarrass yourself, do you? She scolded herself mentally.
He followed her as she whined realizing how dumb she must have looked in front of him.
She felt her face burn, even more, a strange shyness overtaking her at the intimidating aura that changed in a blink of an eye.
He rolled his eyes before he took out his car keys and said, "No more talking, come downstairs I'm waiting."
And like that, Min-Jae vanished.
She hurriedly went into her room with a whiny face to change into a decent yet beautiful dress.
She put on some light makeup and impatiently ran downstairs not wanting to make him wait.
Jin-Ae's eyes were searching for him when he waved at her. He was waiting in the car, with his glasses on.
Was he acting sexy or he actually is?
Jin-Ae slowly walked to the car to open the door, when he jumped out of his side and came towards her.
Jin-Ae face-palmed herself in mistrust as she couldn't stop acclaiming his every move. She felt like the main character.
"Wait, let me open it for you." Jin-Ae just let out a dry laugh hiding all the butterflies in her stomach.
The whole ride was silent and unrealistic as aesthetic songs played in the car.
Jin-Ae's heart was thumping like a caged critter against her chest, her hands were sweating as she was growing nervous but her legs were vibing to the soothing hymn played behind.
The majestic black-starry night sky with a few flecks of pink and blue reminded her of the moonbow. It was one of the best night she had ever encountered.
She then, pulled down the window.
Cold, faded air hit her face, making her chuckle as she couldn't breathe for a second.
A blanket of peacefulness covered above that slowly eased her fascination.
The wimpiness dubbed her body to rest and let the heart whirl by the rhythm.
The rhythm of the ballad that the stars were vocalizing for her. A more of a passionate love song, the stars giggled and glistened more as they were happy for Jin-Ae.
When they both were about to get there, he unconsciously slowed down the car and kept looking at her.
As of Jin-Ae, acted like she can't sense it. She looked elsewhere, except his velvet dark eyes which were piercing on to her.
Five minutes felt like a century. She felt awkward but deep inside, she wanted that moment to just stop, pause and never change.
They both reached.
Jin-Ae's jaw dropped as she couldn't comprehend, what she was witnessing.
As he worked in a well-off hotel, the biggest one of Korea, he owned a mansion.
She never came here, she was nervous but more of wowed at the same time.She looked away nervously and attempted to unlatch her seatbelt.
Min-Jae ran recklessly and opened Jin-Ae's side of the door.
She instantly came out with her eyes wide open, scanning every little detail as she waited for him.
He parked his car to the designated place.
In the meantime, she kept looking here and there squinting her Bambi eyes repeatedly in disbelief. It was so pleasant and vibrant.
Jin-Ae was exploring the art, a masterpiece moving here and there when all of a sudden he held her hand, tighter than ever. As if, he was going to lose her any moment.
Before she could process anything.
Min-Jae asked "Are you feeling comfortable?" as concern seeped through his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm good!" Jin-Ae nodded her head profusely trying to hide the red tint appearing on her face.
Why is he so sweet???
They both went inside. His eyes followed hers which was glinting more than the stars in the night sky, trickling with curiosity and excitement.
The aroma of rose and sunflower mixed with the chocolate hit her which gave her soft yet prudent vibes.
It was so well furnished.
Everything was so beautiful and impressive like him. Before she could extrapolate anything. He stopped.
"Okay Jin-Ae, now I'm going to blindfold you. Is that okay?"
"Um-Y-Yeah but why?" She inquired, instantly face-palming herself mentally for not asking it first. "Well, you agreed on it soo, no more questions now, okay Ivy Gamble?" Jin-Ae was astounded hearing this name from him.
"He went through my books, but he never came into my room, he knows Magic for Liars?"
All these questions bombarded in her mind.
She felt sceptical about this very moment as everything was going so fast and she wasn't able to comprehend it but her heart was counselling her that it's okay, she needed to believe the love of her life, and that nothing's wrong.
They started to walk up the marble stairs as each step felt smooth and non-foliated.
He assisted her to walk up the stairs very carefully while her heart was racing like crazy.
She couldn't think straight. What is it? A surprise? Is he coming with me to New York? Is it possibly Woojin? Did he found out?
Her anxiety was driving her insane when all of a sudden she fumbled on something.
Uncertainty scrambled down her body as she tried to balance herself.
As for Min-Jae, she could feel his eyes scrutinizing her. His hold got tighter as his voice echoed with concern.
"Aish, I told them to remove this, I'm so sorry Jin-Ae. Are you okay?"
Before she could respond, he carried her in his arms and started paddling.
She was beyond dazed by his sudden action. To be more precise, he swept her off her feet.
She wanted to question him but her voice was stuck as butterflies in her stomach were going cuckoo.
Her hands automatically relaxed around his warm neck as his strong hands clasped her against the heart that was crying out for her with the same mad passion.
She could feel his eyes on her as he glanced down longingly on her face and with that her cheeks turned red. Min-Jae's features tighten into a chuckle as he went on walking towards a room.
Jin-Ae instantly crossed her fingers wishing he wouldn't see her so red flushed like this.
She closed her eyes tightly so the darkness wouldn't eat her with a dozen of questions dancing in her mind.
He put her down.
She could feel something different in the air...
Jin-Ae tried to sense the oddness in the air. She dropped her head and sighed deeply to settle down her anxious thoughts and blinked twice to inspect, what if she miraculously see something. Soon, mild earthy smell mixed with a sense of delicacy and softness hit her. Jin-Ae got goosebumps as this was her dad's favourite, the daisies and forget-me-not flowers. Jin-Ae took long deep breathes, taking in all of the smell, apropos of she never knows when she'll be able to this smell again, when two hands helped her remove the blindfold, slowly. She got startled and felt something different. Her heart thudded loudly as if it would shred out of her chest right away anytime soon. Slowly and deliberately, the darkness faded away, she opened her eyes. It took her a moment to adapt her eyes to the warm lighting of the cosy room. Her eyes focused solely on the woman shoes which were there in front of her. Everything els
The phone rang."🎶Imagine your faceSay hello to me'Til all the bad daysThey're nothing to meWith you🎶" (Winter bear by Kim Taehyung)Min-Jae picked up the phone call simultaneously as he adjusted his Rolex watch on his wrist."yeoboseyo," Min-Jae mumbled and swirled his eyes which was filled with desperateness for someone.An old woman retorted back from the other end of the phone."I don't have any time for the hellos.Min-Jae made a revolted face as he strolled towards a quiet place.When? Jin-Ae is departing from Korea?" A cunning voice implored.Min-Jae paused a little, then responded, "She'll be leaving in 3 days."She sighed dramatically and asserted, "Oh My God! You're so slow. I should have asked someone else." She ridiculed him, considering that Min-Jae could sense her smirking evilly on the other end.Moreover, I heard you're proposing to her?" Min-Jae was about to whisp
Suddenly, the car stopped, they flitted forward as the driver pulled the brake. Shortly after, the car was replenished with scary silence and strange stares. Little small junctures that felt like an eternity soon got over. The driver nudged the curtain that was attached between the passenger and driver's seat. Oh to be the Celebrity's type of car it was. Jin-Ae finally gathered her nervous self and implored. "Where are we?", Jin-Ae glared at the cameraman for answers with her narrowed brows, who again gave her, his signature smirk. He then, rolled his eyes as they wandered back to the driver. The cameraman gestured to the driver. The driver immediately reflexed to the signal and unlocked the doors. Jin-Ae was mystified and kept staring at the cameraman with dozens of concerns in her mind. She was trickling. In a blink of an eye, she heard footsteps from the outside. Gradually, the deliberate and small fo
Jin-Ae stared into his eyes and cupped his face gently in her palms as her stomach commenced to ravage inside. She was about to mumble something but abruptly, she felt nauseous. She instantly covered her mouth with her hands to avoid any type of mess. In a blink of an eye, Min-Jae got startled like a little child as soon as he caught a glimpse of it. He quickly inquired as he pulled her by her waist, a lot more closer to him, "Are you okay?" He was quivering with concern and worry whereas, Jin-Ae got warm from embarrassment. "Uhm- yes!", Jin-Ae somehow managed to respond to him, looked down and grinned like an idiot. Min-Jae could be a tot too? Who knew. It wasn't until Min-Jae could grasp her smirking, he then, cleared his throat and stood up straight like a gentleman he is as he adjusted his coat. He told Jin-Ae to sat down on the mat and tried to soothe her down with his all-time cold face. He instructed the camerama
Five years later, Every individual hopped onto something new. Seoul was not the same anymore. New gossips, never heeded music bands, new chanting crowds, baffled yet energetic teens, unemployed heartbroken wanderers, new crime, iPhones and fashion. However, there was still something that didn't alter at all. A heart that truly loved Jin-Ae whilst striving his best to endure in the same world that's always tormented with the sad sensibilities and resentments. When the sun woke up, an aeroplane landed, rerouting the paths of two destined souls. Everyone was occupied, trying to make it to their kind of destination. Air crates landing and taking off at their velocities whilst announcements were made for the passengers. At Incheon International airport, wearing a Burberry long trench coat Jin-Ae hauled the stroller packed with the boxes and bags, above merrily sat a little girl in a white top and a grey designed skirt with loose bla
Viscosity seems to form in the air around her.It's suddenly impossible to breathe because, for whatever reasons, she feared this moment.But, now it was here and she has to untangle the knots that were tied long ago.She has to give him her sincere thoughts.She loved him but a whole lifetime with him terrified her. What girl not fear such a dilemma, a fear that stems and augment due to society and further distress her into what-ifs.What if he doesn't accept your kids after the wedding? What if this impacts your kids in any way?"Please. Jin-Ae tell me.. about when you're ready to talk about this. I've waited for five years. I've missed you, craved you, cried for you, and dreamt of us together." Min-Jae took his heart out in hopes of an answer. An answer that concludes the whole life of an unordinary fairy tale.Jin-Ae glazed at him with blank spaces, sonnets and romantic haikus that were trapped in her chest
Jin-Ae couldn't resist smiling. She closed her eyes, relishing the feeling of his muscular arms, the momentous warmth around her body."I love you too." The three magical words echoed on the shore, drifting away the anxious feelings into the depth of the glistening sea.The gentle air eagerly nudged the clouds to let the moon witness the golden moment.Min-Jae smiled wide after hearing this from Jin-Ae, between each other's lips with hundred words behind them. This moment was so celestial for both of them. Their hearts pounded at a myriad pace. Looking into each other's eyes they both desired for this moment to last as long as it can.Meanwhile, she was cherishing his smile, his cheekbones that beautifully define his features, as they both were centimetres away when a short-lived flicker of light caught their attention."Hey! The falling star", Min-Jae pointed towards it as Jin-Ae followed his veiny arms.Jin-Ae smiled at the glorious sight
Time went by, replenishing their tummy with flavorful sushi, ramen and kimchi stew with some rice, they all thanked God and got ready to depart for home.The car ride was an ample of baby talks, humour, and non-stop interrogation sessions with Min-Jae, about when he will take them out.Jin-Ae couldn't stop blinking with heart eyes, there wouldn't be a second when her heart didn't thud loudly.She fell in love with this goofy and tacky side of Min-Jae."He would become a great father." She reckoned and grinned looking towards the window as happy tears escaped her eyes."What's wrong?" Min-Jae interrogated with his fingers brushing against Jin-Ae's smooth skin.The warm, subtle touch fetched Jin-Ae back to actuality.Jin-Ae instantly smeared her tears and gave him a quick assuring look.She then took a glance at the kids and noticed that they were inundated, appreciating the night view of Seoul and how everything looks dist
