My Instant Marriage

Next day in the morning when Young-soo woke up he noticed that Eunbi was not there on the bed next to him. He stretched his arms high above his head with little disappointment, then he gets down from the bed, and made his way to the bathroom. Once he gets ready to go to the office he sat down at one of the dining chair for breakfast. There were two bowls of ramen noodles are placed on the dining table, to avoid the situation like last night Eunbi sat down on the dining chair next to him and had her breakfast with him in an awkward silence. Young-soo took out his black credit card from his wallet, placed it on the dining table, and asked her to use it for the grocery shopping also for her personal uses. He pecked her lips out of the blue she agape her mouth in surprise. He took his office bag, "Bye~, see you in the evening."

As soon as Young-soo left the house she headed into the bathroom and washed off her lips with some plain water. She looked at her reflection on the bathroom mirror, tears automatically rolled down from her face. She questioned herself, why he’s doing this to me he touches me against my wish whenever he was in a good or in a bad mood, don’t he know that I hate him, what he is thinking of me? I’m not his doll for all his needs. God please save me from this monster. She splashed some water vigorously on her face, wiped off her face with the help of the bathroom towel. She marched towards her room, lay down flat on her stomach on the bed felt so self-hatred and despair. In a while she sat down on the bed, leaned her back against the headboard, muttered I can endure if he asks me to do the household chores but I cannot tolerate if he touches me unnecessarily without my permission. She advised herself to smack-off his face if he tries to touch her without her permission.

She ate the Ramen noodles again as a meal for lunch. Then she changed into a casual outfit, booked the taxi through the online to go to the nearest supermarket. Once the taxi arrived in front of the house she took her handbag, locked the entrance door of the house, and gets into the taxi. It took nearly twenty minutes to reach the supermarket; she paid the taxi fare, gets down from it. she walked into the supermarket with blank mind, usually her mother used to accompany her wherever she used to go, but today it was her first time in her life to come alone for a shopping and that to for a grocery shopping therefore she felt bit nervous and excited at the same time. She inhales and exhales deeply relaxes herself, and advised herself, it’s just a shopping there is no need to get nervous about it, you always wanted to go out for a shopping by yourself since from childhood isn’t it? Come-on girl now enjoy this moment by shopping.

She took one of the shopping carts pushed it with lots of excitement but the problem was she doesn’t had an idea where to start from and what all the things needed to be shopped. She took out her smart phone from her handbag and browsed for grocery list ideas, once the requested result shown she began to shop first from vegetables then fruits, meats, dairy products, eggs, nuts & dry fruits, cutlery, spices, rice, oils, beverages, snacks, and toiletries. She paid the bill for the entire shopped items and headed straight away to the house through the taxi.

Once she reached home she placed the shopping bags in the living room, and lay down on the sofa for a while. She felt so exhausted for the first time because of the shopping. She unpacked the things from the bags one by one and organized the items in its appropriate places. For dinner she decided to prepare rice with chicken stew and steaks fry, she Google it how to prepare those dishes, how much quantity will be enough for two people, and also the required ingredients.

She follows the instruction carefully step by step which has written on the Blog to prepare the dishes for the dinner. As she was busy at the kitchen the doorbell of the house rang, she knew who it must be on the door at this hour, so she opened the door in a hurry without checking it through the door’s peephole, and ran back to the kitchen to continue her work.

As soon as Young-soo entered the house he was welcomed by the aroma of the meat fry. He inhaled the aroma deeply by closing his eyes, as his legs wandered towards the kitchen, "wow, it’s smells so good and it just increases my appetite," he commented, "I’ll go refresh myself and come quickly."

He returned back to the kitchen in ten minutes, he crossed his arms and leaned his shoulder against the kitchen doorway. He silently observed Eunbi; the way she prepares the dinner for them. He cleared his throat to draw her attention, "are you done, do you need my help?"

She turned her body and looked at him, "I’m almost finished, would you mind go set the table for the dinner," she pointed out the cabinet, "the tableware are in those liners of the cabinet."

He nodded his head, took out the two plates, bowls, chopsticks, and cutleries from the cabinet liners. He placed the tableware on the dining table, as he starts to set the table there he saw his black credit card was still on the table at the same place where he had placed it in the morning. He went to the bedroom took his smart phone and checked whether he has received any messages under the access of his credit card. As he saw that he hasn’t received any messages he was so displeasure with her. "Eunbi, come here," he yelled out loud from the bedroom.

She turned off the gas burner stove, walked to his room by murmuring, now what happened? Why did he yell out my name as if a thunder fell on top of his head? action

He showed his card to her and asked, "What is this?"

"You don’t know what is it, it’s your credit card," She replied in an annoyance.

"I knew that damn it, I gave it to you to use it for shopping, but why you didn’t use it?"

"I forget to take it for shopping," she said casually.

"Did you forget or left it on purpose?"

She knitted her brow in angry, "yes I left your credit card on purposely because I dislike spending your money and also to live my life by depending you. Still now I couldn’t understand that why did I agreed to marry you even though knowing about your intension."

Young-soo smirked and folded his arms of his chest, "don’t you know that it’s a waste of time to talk or think about the past, my dear wife."

"Yes, you are absolutely right, Young-soo. It is a waste of time to discuss about this matter with you, because our marriage is just like you it meant absolutely nothing to me," she replied with exasperation, "anyways, I’m going to have the dinner if you would like to join with me you are welcomed."

Young-soo felt so hurt and angry at the same time with her impolite words. He took his remote car key and smart phone, marched out of the house, got into his car and drove off.

Young-soo ate the dinner alone, watched some television programs for a while, and went to bed. He returned back home at 1:45 am and rang the doorbell. She was startled awake by the doorbell of the house she gets down from the bed, walked towards the entrance door. She could clearly hear his yells from the outside of the door.

"Yeah! Open the damn door you arrogant woman."

She opened the door, looked at him- his face looks so red and puffy, disheveled hair and his t-shirt was half tucked in.

"What took you so long to open the door, you lazy woman, do you know how long I have been ringing the door bell?" Young-soo covered her nose with her palm as soon as she smelled the strong odor of alcohol on his breath.

He stumbled as he entered the house, "yeah! Now why are you covering your nose, do I smell unpleasant?"

Eunbi ignored his question shut the door close and walks towards her room. But he grabbed her wrist and stopped her, "are you deaf or what I asked you do I smell unpleasant? I need your answer now."

She shoved off his hand hardly with annoyance, "are you suffering with amnesia or what? I had already warned you for several times that to not touch me without my permission."

"I’m not suffering with amnesia I remember every word that you have said. I have full rights to touch you even without your permission because I’m your husband, and to tell you the truth I like to touch you I wanted you so badly my darling, so please try to understand me." He said and pouted his lips. Within a blink of an eye he firmly grasped her shoulders pushed her against the nearest wall leaned down and kissed her lips hungrily as if there would be no tomorrow. The odor of alcohol was too strong she felt nausea and wanted to vomit; she placed her hands on his chest, and pushed him away from her with all her energy. She covered her mouth with her hand, ran to the bathroom, and vomited in the toilet bowl.

Young-soo was displeasure to see her vomit in the toilet bowl. He massaged his head with disappointment, gets in to the room, and lay down flat on his back on the bed.

That night Eunbi couldn’t able to sleep. She wanted to move away from this traumatic life before it becomes even worse. She was so confused whether she should inform all these incidents to her parents or wait patiently for a few more days and give him another chance to reflect on his mistakes.
