My Instant Marriage

After a couple of days Young-soo went to Japan for a business trip. During his absence Eunbi followed his advices, she returned back to house straight from her college without going out with her friends. She did her assignment, study for a while, prepared the dinner for her and ate it alone. Before she goes to bed she waited for Young-soo’s phone call until 11pm but she didn’t get any phone call from him. Therefore, she went to bed by thinking that he must busy with his official works. She felt like she misses him so badly especially the arguments with him.

Next day, in the evening after returning back from college, she prepared the dinner earlier and waited for Young-soo’s arrival. She waited and waited by watching some TV programs. She check the time in the wall clock at the living room it reads 7.30 pm she felt bored to stay alone in the house. She went to his room to clean it up, but it looked as clean and neat as always. She opened the wardrobe door thinking that it will be messy for sure but all of his clothes and accessories were also organized neatly. She sat down at the edge of his bed with heavy sigh and murmured he is such a neat and clean man. She pulled opened the drawer of the bedside table there she saw some pills bottles. She couldn’t guess why he’s taking pills at such a young age when he seems so healthy. Her instinct says something is wrong. She quickly captured a picture of those pills bottles with the help of her smart-phone and sent those pictures to her family doctor with a text message: Doctor please explain me for what purpose these medicines are used.

In a few minutes the doorbell rang she walked to the entrance to attend the door. As she saw Young-soo on the other side of the door through the door’s peep-hole, she opens the door with a smile and "welcome home Young-soo."

Young-soo pulled the trolley bag in the house and asked her, "How have you been?"

"Good," she replied.

Young-soo gave her a smile, "I’m sorry for not making a phone call to you I was too busy with my official work, and that’s why I’ve got no time to call you. I hope that you’ll understand my situations. And I’ve planned to take you out for a dinner, therefore now you go get ready quickly."

However, Eunbi declines his offer, "I’ve already cooked the dinner for us so let’s go out on some other day."

"Ok, then let us have the dinner together in our house, just give me a few minutes I’ll go freshen-up, change my dress and come." He said and went to his room.

While she was waiting for him Eunbi received a message from her family Doctor: "these medicines are used for patients suffering from panic-attack and it’ll give instant relief from the panic-attack temporary."

Eunbi replied, "thank you so much for your information, Doctor."

Doctor: "you are welcome. But may I know who is using those pills?" action

Eunbi: "One of my friends is using these pills."

Doctor: "Ok, take care."

Message conversation ends.

When Eunbi and Young-soo were having the dinner Young-soo asked her how was her experience on staying alone in the house especially during the night time.

"It was like another normal day but I felt bored to stay alone in the house." Eunbi replied and asked him, "How was your trip?"

"Yeah, it was good. I forget to give you the present which I’ve bought it for you form Japan," he said and get down from the dining chair, went to his room, and in a minutes he returns back to the living room with a box wrapped with a color paper. He gave that to her and asked her to open and take a look at it.

Eunbi un-wraps the gift box and she was surprised to see a laptop fashion makeup kit. She thanked him for the present.

"I don’t know what to buy for you when I saw this makeup kit it look so cute and handy so I bought it for you." Young-soo replied.

"Thank you so much for the present, I’ll use it for the special occasions." She said and she was so impatient to ask about those pills which she saw in his bedside table drawer, but she doesn’t have an idea of how to start a conversation about that matter to him. After the dinner they washed the dirty dishes together and sat down on the sofa in the living room. In between while watching the television she went to her room, took his pills bottles and return back to the living room, and gave those pills bottles to him, "when I went to clean your room in your absence I saw these pills bottles in the bedside table drawer, may I know why are you using these pills?"

Young-soo was shocked to see his panic-attack pills bottle which he was hiding from his friends and family members, his face turn red with rage, "who gave you the permission to touch my things?"

She placed her hand over his shoulder, "calm down Young-soo, and stop raising your voice at me because it’s meaningless. I’m sorry touch your things without your permission. But please try to understand me that as your friend I’m asking about this only to help you out. And I know these pills are used to prevent people from panic-attack temporally."

He stood up, and pursed his lips by placing his hand over his hips. "Look Eunbi this may sound rude but I don’t need your help." he said and get into his room. Eunbi stalked him but he shut the door in her face. She knocked on the door saying, "Young-soo, please open the door, I need to talk to you." She kept on knocking the door by saying that for more than five minutes but he didn’t open the door, instead he just yelled out, "I don’t like to talk to you, please leave me alone."

She just let him be, hoping that he’ll open up about his problem to her after sometimes or later on some other day. However, she couldn’t sleep properly that night, she kept on thinking about Young-soo and the reason behind his trauma.
