My Instant Marriage

The sunlight streamed through the window made the room warmer and brighter. Eunbi pulled the blanket of to her shoulder and hugged Young-soo thought that he was her bolster pillow next to her on the bed. Soon she felt something strange with the bolster pillow which she was hugging because it was not cozy like the one she used to hug every night in her sleep. She heard someone moaned softly next to her ears, and something tightly wrapped around her waist. She opened her eyes by slowly adjusting to the morning brightness of the room, she was startled as she saw that she was hugging Young-soo not a bolster pillow, and one of his arms was wrapped around her waist. The first thing she did was she lifted the blanket gazed down at her body, checked whether she’s in her clothes or not. She signed in relief as she saw herself in clothes. She slowly took off her leg, arm of his body then she slowly un-wraps his arm around her waist, put it on his thigh carefully without waking him up, and then she signed once again in relief.

Young-soo stirred in his sleep, "What happened why you are signing early in the morning?"

She was startled to hear his deep and hoarse morning voice. She could sense his warm hot breath which tickled her forehead she swallowed the lump of her throat as she realized that his face was just a few centimeters away of her face.

As he didn’t get a reply from her he slowly open his eyes and looked at her. She looked so startled. Young-soo couldn’t guess the reason with her look, "why are you looking so startle, you alright?"

Their eyes met and they stared at each other, her heart was in her mouth, she yanked back her head, gets down from the bed hurriedly, "I’m...I’m looking startle because I woke from the horror dream and I’m sorry to wake you up."

Young-soo propped his head up on one elbow, "you are such a bad liar anyways good morning. In a few minutes I’ll go for jog for an hour if you are willing you can come along with me."

Eunbi tucked a few stands of her hair at the back of her ears, "No thanks I’m not interested."

He pressed his lips together in line and nodded, "I thought if you come along with me for jog my parents will be happy to see us together in the morning. That’s fine I’ll go alone for jog you go prepare the breakfast for me, and when I return back home the breakfast should be placed in this room. Is that clear because I don’t usually eat food in the dining area I hope that you already heard about it from my mother."

"Yes your mother had told me about it and also the other weird things about you." She said and walked into the bathroom. Young-soo was bemused about what sort of weird things of him that his mother would have told her.

Eunbi took a quick bath, dressed-up and went to the kitchen to cook the breakfast for him. She asked the butler in the kitchen what type of breakfast does Young-soo usually have.

The butler narrated her politely, "well the young master usually have simple breakfast which is two slices of bread toasts, an egg omelet, glass of a milk, and a few numbers of dry nuts."

Eunbi took the frying pan from the kitchen cabinet, and as soon as she placed the frying pan on the gas burner stove to make the egg omelet the butler stopped her, "we are here to serve you young mistress so please tell us the menu what we wanted to cook we will make that for you, young mistress."

"It’s okay I’ll cook," Eunbi replied to the butler and as she was about to switch on the gas strove Mrs. Lee entered the kitchen and she was so happy to look at her daughter-in-law the way she was interested to prepare the breakfast for Young-soo. However Mrs. Lee doesn’t wants her daughter-in-law to stain herself so she asked Eunbi to leave that responsibility to the butler and she took Eunbi to the garden area of the house.

At the garden, the morning sun where streamed through the branches of the trees, and the chirping sounds of the birds could be heard. They sat opposite to each other on the rectangle six seated wooden patio furniture which was attached along with a colorful embroidered parasol. When the coffee was served they drank the coffee while discussing about the movies which they had watched yesterday.

After a while one of the maids came and informed Mrs. Lee, "ma’am, the breakfast was ready and the young master has just returned back home from jogging."

Mrs. Lee asked Eunbi to have the breakfast along with Young-soo in their room.

Eunbi nodded her head and followed the maid to the kitchen, the breakfast was already placed in the dining trolley the two of the maids lifted the dining trolley carefully to the upstairs, and pulled it in front of Young-soo’s room. She thanked the maids and the maids bowed their heads in return and walked downstairs to continue their house hold chores.

She opened the room door entered into the room by pulling the dining trolley. She looked around the room he was not in there, noticed that the bathroom door was closed and she could hear the water running sound from the bathroom. She carefully transferred the dishes one by one from the dining trolley to the dining table of the room. When the bathroom door was opened with a click sound she spun her body with a white ceramic plate in her hands. Young-soo comes out from the bathroom only with a towel wrapped around his waist, and without noticing her presence in the room he un-wrapped the towel of his waist, made his arms wide opened by clenching the two ends of the towel tightly with his hands, and made a little movement towards the left and the right side of his waist.

Eunbi was amazed and dropped the plate which was in her hands as she looked at him nakedly and the plate fell down on the floor and smashed into pieces. He lifted his face up, looked towards the direction where the plate smashed on the floor, as soon as he saw her presence in the room his eyes are widened in astonishment, then he quickly wrapped the towel around his waist.

She spun her body to the other side and covered her face with her palms.

"Yah! When did you come in? Don’t tell me that you saw me na-nakedly? Yah! Turn to my side look at me and answer."

She just remained in silent without replying him and thought whether she should tell him the truth or not.

"Why are you staying quiet turn to my side look at me and say that you saw or not?" He insisted her to answer him quickly.

Eunbi slowly turned towards his side, gazed down on the floor, and shook her head side to side, "n-no, I-I didn’t see anything," she lied. action

He demanded her to look at his face. Eunbi slowly lifts her head up and looked at his face he looked so edgy. As her gaze met his, he quickly asked her, "Are you sure, hundred percent?"

She mustered up her courage and answer him, "yes I’m hundred percent sure that I didn’t see anything."

Young-soo made a relief sigh and went to the walk-in wardrobe. She carefully took the smashed pieces of plate from the floor and put it into the trashcan of the room. He wore navy blue suit with a matching tie, combed his hair in a medium side parted hairstyle, and a pair of brown leather shoes. He looked at his reflections in the mirror one last and walked near to the dining table, sat down on the dining chair, and unfold the napkin put it on his lap. She served him the breakfast by filling the glass full of milk from the milk jug, two slices of bread toast, an egg omelet in a plate, and a bowl of dry nuts. She sat down on the chair opposite to him and watches him.

"Aren’t you gonna have your breakfast?" He asked her.

"I’ll eat once you finish having your breakfast."

His voice was stern all of a sudden as he asked her, "Are you planning to eat my leftovers or what?"

Eunbi shook her head left to right, "n-no not like that."

He took a sip of plain milk from the glass, "Then what are you waiting for serve yourself and eat along with me, damn it."

She took two slices of bread toast, placed it on her plate, filled the glass full of milk from the jug, and started to eat in an awkward silence. Soon Young-soo broke the silence, "what are your plans for today?"

"I don’t have any plans for today," Eunbi replied, "May I know why do you wanted to know about my today’s plan?"

"I just wanted to know about it, that’s why."

Since from she woke up she kept on wonders that, last night how did she end up with him in his bed. Therefore she asked him about it.

Young-soo swallowed the food in his mouth, "last night I carried you in my arms from my mom’s room to my room, and God you’re bit heavier than I thought."

"What?" she asked and widened her eyes.

"Now why are you looking at me as if I had done some kind of crime?"

She wanted to smack of his face but she controlled her anger hence she was in his home. She took the glass of milk, gulped down some milk, asked him, "When are we going to Jeju Island?"

Young-soo leaned forward on the table towards Eunbi, her heart ringing in her ears, and he wiped off the milk froth mustache over her upper lip with his thumb finger which she forgot to wipe it off, "I think you are too excited to live with me in a separate house than me, my dear wife."

She leaned backward a bit pushed of his hand from her mouth, "Don’t dare to touch me again without my permission and I’m not excited to live with you, stop imagining things."

Young-soo sat down properly on his chair and smirked at her, "I’m not in the mood to argue with your anger early in the morning anyways we are leaving to Jeju Island tomorrow morning. And I forget to tell you that yesterday I went to your college, met your Principal, and submitted the request letter to issue you the TC. Almost I had finished all the procedures but they need your signature in the college register. I’ll take you to your college in the afternoon so you get ready before I arrive."

She furrowed her brow in anger. "Who the hell are you to do the process of my college transfer without my consent?"

He took the napkin from his lap wiped off his mouth and put it down on the table. "I think it’s better for you to behave properly when I’m being good with you or else I’ll make you suffer in a worst kind of way. If you are willing to continue your studies come with me in the afternoon to your college, if not it’s up to you, I don’t care about it."

It annoyed her the way he talks as if she can’t handle anything without his help and only he knows everything, therefore she said, "I know the way for my college I don’t need your help and I don’t want you to interfere in my life you better mind your own business."

"If this is your wish means then let me grant your wish just for once, I’ll not interfere in your business for today do whatever you wanted to do I’m giving you full freedom, but." He paused for a few seconds and lifted his brow, "don’t forget that from tomorrow onwards you will be in my trap, for each and every irresponsible behavior towards me I’ll teach you a lesson in a worst kind of way, I’ll make you behave properly with me for all my needs and I’ll ruin your life miserably."

She smirked and shook her head, "you are giving me the freedom it’s very funny to hear those words, nobody can’t stop me I’ll do whatever I wanted to do I don’t need no one’s permission. You better enjoy your life today as much as possible because I will make you regret for each and every day that you had made a wrong decision for marrying me."

He gets down from the chair and walked near to her, "are you challenging me? Wow! Do you know what? I love challenges and I always won on every single challenge which I had made so for in my life, we will see who is going to regret first."

Eunbi stared at him with annoyance and stayed quit without a reply.

He checked the time at his wrist watch, "it’s time for me to go to my office so I’ll take your silence as approval." He took his office bags and walked out of the room.
