Those Little Fights

"Please take care of yourself." Do-Yun kisses her lips softly and smiles. "I will be fine, don't worry." Sook-Ja smiles and hops in the car where Jung-Ho is waiting for her. He rolls his eyes as jealousy rushes in him. "Bye, love you." He drives the car after hearing their loving talk. "No offence, you are a clingy boyfriend." He mutters to himself.

"Hey." Sook-Ja sighs at his comment. "What did I do this time?"

"Nothing," Jung-Ho assures. "You just keep acting weird." He shrugs.

"It's okay though, I will just try harder next time. No matter how much I try I won't be able to stop falling in love with you," He thinks.

"Where are we going?" She asks, leaning back on the seat. "Busan probably." He answers being pissed off. "Are you angry?" Shaking his head he sighs. "You will never understand." She narrows her eyes and gives him a done look. "Sometimes you make me confused." She adds.

Ye-Rim plops on the couch and heaves a deep breath. "I don't know what to do." She whines, "What happened?" Mrs. Han asks as she joins her. "Mom, I am so tired. Can you please tell Gue-Roo to make me a cup of coffee?" Mrs. Han raises one eyebrow. "She is your sister and you know she will never do it." She sighs. "Fine." "I can make it for you, don't worry." Gue-Roo says while entering the lunch area. "Why?" "Because you are my sister." Gue-Roo winks and heads towards the kitchen. "Mom, I am telling you she is up to something." Ye-Rim complains. "I know, baby, it's alright."

*****

"So, she is really going to Busan today?" Ye-Rim asks from across the kitchen table. "Yeah," Gue-Roo replies, stirring the rice and meat around in her bowl. "Are they in relationships?" Ye-Rim asks, making her suspicious. "Why are you so interested?" Ye-Rim laughs nervously. "Just asking." She nods. "I also want them to get together. I haven't liked her boyfriend since school." Ye-Rim glares at her. "Why are you taking him in this matter?" Ye-Rim says seriously. "Why are you taking his side?" Gue-Roo questions annoyingly. "Whatever." Ye-Rim says and heads to her room.

*****

"Mr. Gwan?" Sook-Ja calls Jung-Ho. "Since when did you start giving me respect?" Jung-Hoo smirks causing her to roll her eyes. "You don't deserve respect." "What did you say?" "Nothing." She zips her mouth with her fingers making him chuckle. "Sometimes you act mature and sometimes you are a kid." Shaking his head he pats her head.

Standing on the balcony, Do-Yun takes a sip of his hot coffee. "I am sorry Sook-Ja, I know you are in love with me deeply but I always loved you as a best friend. That day when you said you love me, I wanted to say you no, but I stopped because I never want you to cry." He says to himself. "I always loved Ye-Rim." He heaves a deep breath. "I will tell you everything when you come back home." Suddenly he feels a jolt as someone hugs him from behind. "Ye-Rim, what are you doing here at this time?" He turns around to face her as he tries to breathe normally. "I couldn't sleep." She says. "And neither could I." He places a gentle kiss on her forehead. She stands on tiptoes to give him a quick peck on the lips. "I am hungry." He smiles "Okay, let's go." She nods and follows him.

****

"They don't have any room so Sook-Ja, try to understand that we need to share the room." Jung-Ho tells her pissed off. "It is not my problem, you are responsible for it." She shakes her head. "If you want to be independent, stay outside and play by yourself then fine." He shouts. "I am tired of dealing with the same old drama every single day!" He yells. "This is your fault!" She screams. "Me?! He yells back.

"Excuse me sir and man, can you both please slow down?" Receptionist smiles weirdly at them. He sighs and nods his head.

"I am going in my room, go and find yours." She says and snatches the room's key before heading to the room. "It's not fair." He roars.

"Well, everything is fair in love and war." She yells back. "How is that any different from what you are doing right now?" He throws his hands into the air. "That is a low blow!" She yells. "You were the one who started yelling first!"

"It doesn't matter anymore!" She says "She is so annoying." He sighs and runs after her.

*****

"I am letting you sleep here because I have no choice." Sook-Ja throws a pillow towards Jung-Ho. "I paid for this room." He answers as he catches the pillow. "You should because you wanted me to join you. I didn't offer you." She says angrily. "And since when did you start talking back?!" He exclaims. "Because you keep treating me badly! You are such an asshole! Why couldn't you learn to control yourself? If I had known you would act so stupid and childish, I would never have agreed to come with you!"

Sook-Ja storms out of the bedroom.

Jung-Ho sits up and stares at nothing in particular. It is still early enough for his mind to work but late enough that he needs some rest. After staring blankly at the wall for a while he gets out of the couch and goes through his luggage to find something comfortable to sleep in.

He walks into the bathroom and looks in the mirror, noticing there is no toothbrush or hair brush anywhere. 'Oh, well.' Jung-Ho thinks.

****

Sook-Ja stands beside the open window and listens for sounds from outside. She takes out her phone, unlocks it and starts texting. "I am fine, and missing you here." She types before sending the message.

****

"Are we still on that subject?" Jung-Ho asks, annoyed. "No, we aren't." She replies without looking up from her phone. Jung-Ho clenches his jaw. "Is that why you're ignoring me?" He asks. "No." She mumbles under her breath. The sound of footsteps coming closer causes her to tense. "Sook-Ja." A voice calls. She closes her eyes before turning around and facing him. His expression softens a bit when he sees her. "Can you sit down, please?" He asks quietly. "Sure." She answers and takes a seat beside him. "I am sorry."

"For what? Getting mad?" Sook-Ja frowns. "Yes." He admits softly. "We are fighting again?" She tilts her head. "Do I look like that?" He chuckles humorlessly. "No." She whispers. "Do you feel better now?" He asks, placing a hand over hers. She pulls away slightly. "No."

"Why don't you forgive me?"

"What if I don't want to?" She asks. "Your favourite food?" She smiles as her face lit up. "Of course. You are going to pay?" He nods. She grins widely before jumping up from the sofa. "Come on." She grabs him by the wrist and drags with her. They are walking until she comes to a sudden stop. He follows her line of sight.

"Look at these flowers." She smiles, picking them up gently. "Aren't they pretty?" She continues. "Yes they are." She smiles as she puts them back and keeps moving forward.

"Order whatever you wanna eat." Jung-Ho says while scrolling through his phone. Sook-Ja eyes lit up as she hears him and scans the whole menu. Jung-Ho smiles at how excited she has gotten about ordering her favorite dishes.

~

"Let's order some dessert as well, maybe ice cream?" She says turning towards him. "I am good with anything." Jung-Ho smiles. Sook-Ja turns to face the waiter who is standing next to her. "A vanilla ice cream sundae please." She says politely. He nods and writes the order down before leaving.

~

"Sook-Ja you're eating too much." Jung-Ho says as he watches her shove spoonfuls of the ice cream into her mouth. "Not as much as you." Sook-Ja says through a full mouth. "But still." Sook pouts at him as he chuckles. "I'm done." She announces. Jung-Ho nods his head and orders their bill.

Do-Yun checks Sook-Ja last location and heaves a deep breath. "She is with him." He says while looking at his mobile screen. "So what?" Ye-Rim glares at him when he sounds worry about Sook-Ja. "Ye-Rim you know that she has no one expect me." He explains. "I know that. But she has been acting weird lately." Do-Yun scoffs. "You think she is having feelings for him?" Ye-Rim frowns and folds her arms across her chest. "It is possible." Do-Yun heart clenches. He knows very well just what she means.

"You don't know her, she would never cheat on me." He states, trying to convince himself more than her. "How can you be so sure? you are doing the same with her. Cheating on her with me." She says. "Do you still have feelings for her?"
