6 In his home (2/2)
Eunbi breathed with humiliation and thought, why nobody is asking about my opinion whether I'm interested to go to Jeju Island with my so called f**king husband or not. I have to open up about my thoughts even though they are not asking my opinion. She cleared her throat to draw their attentions, ”I'm sorry to interrupt your conversations Abeonim, if I go to Jeju Island how could I continue my studies? I have one more year ahead to complete my master's degree.”
”You don't need to worry about your studies, daughter. You can continue your studies in one of the universities at Jeju Island. Young-soo will help you to do all the procedure for your college transfer and also to enroll you in one of the universities at Jeju Island.” Mr. Lee assured her.
Actually she doesn't like Mr. Lee's idea but she just nodded her head in acceptance and thanked him.
After the breakfast Mrs. Lee toured the home for Eunbi. She showed her Young-soo's room and said, ”from now on it's also your room, and do you like the room?”
Eunbi looked around the room- it was a classic bedroom, the wall was painted in half-white in color, a queen sized bed and a couch next to it, a rectangular shaped dining table, and a walk in wardrobe. ”Yes Eomonim, I like the room it looks so decent and everything was neatly organized.” She replied.
Mrs. Lee smiled at her and explained, ”Young-soo is a perfectionist he needs each and everything should be perfect. He doesn't like the housemaids, once he go to his office I ask the housemaids to clean his room and laundry his clothes. I hope that soon you will get adapt to one of his weirdest behaviors.
”Sure, Eomonim.” Eunbi replied.
”Aigoo, my daughter-in-law is such a confident woman. Come with me I'll show you his childhood pictures.” Mrs. Lee said and took Eunbi to her room. There she showed some childhood pictures of Young-soo, explaining about the pleasant incident before they took those pictures, and she shared few words of her son. ”Young-soo used to share each and everything with me and I'm so proud to tell that he is a mama's boy. Being a single child he never asked us he wants this and that, he is such a kind hearted guy. He is not a guy who runs after business he knows the meaning for love, care and affection. When he was studying his high school he told me about his feelings for a girl. But he was afraid to confess his love to that girl. When he was studying in college, he told me that he has tried so many times to confess his love to that girl but he couldn't.
After the graduation he took handle our families business and started to run after the business. I asked him few months ago whether he's still having feelings for that girl. He told me it was just an infatuation. I knew he was hiding his feelings because of me. It's all because of me and my husband we put lots of business pressure on him, so he didn't have time to confess his love to that girl and go out for a date like other youngsters. We decided to get him married so that he can date his life partner and lead a happy life. When his father told him that he has arranged a marriage with your elder sister and Young-soo accepted to get marry your elder sister without any denial.
Eunbi, you may think why I'm telling all these stories to you now. Do you know the reason why my son asked you to marry him? It's because he couldn't resist when elder's suffers emotionally. He respects elders and their feelings also he cares about his beloved ones. So, please try to understand him, my dear.” Mrs. Lee explained.
Eunbi forced a smile on her face, thought, what you are thinking about your son it's not the real him, he is a monster. She gave a fake assurance saying, ”sure, eomonim.”
Mrs. Lee smiled in return, and asked her, ”Shall we watch some movies?”
Eunbi nodded her head.
Mrs. Lee played some romantic movies on the DVD player in her room. They both didn't get away from the room they had their lunch and dinner by watching the movies back to back without a break. Eunbi had fun by watching movies with Mrs. Lee and she felt so comfortable with her mother-in-law.
Young-soo returned back home from his work at 10.30 pm. As soon he entered the home his father informed him that Eunbi has been watching back to back movies since from morning with Mrs. Lee in her room. Young-soo was happy to hear that from his father that she gets along with his mother quickly. He freshened up, changed into his favorite track pant and t-shirt, went to his mother's room, and asked, ”Mom, what are you doing? Are you guys still watching the movies do know what the time now is?”
His mother shushed him by putting her index finger over her lips and she gestured him to come and sit next to her. He chuckled, slowly walked towards her, and sat down right next to her on the bed.
”Don't talk too loud, your wife is sleeping. Look at your wife she looks so cute while sleeping.” His mother commented.
Young-soo smiled and nodded his head up and down to his mother's comment.
All of a sudden Mrs. Lee started to advice him. ”Young-soo, you should take good care of her and make her life colorful. Don't make her feel lonely she would have never imagined that she would be getting married in a short period. At this age she has many dreams and desire about her life and carrier. As a husband you should support and motivate her dreams and respect her feelings. Don't force her for anything, first you guys try to know about each other well. Share your thoughts and pleasant memories with her and spend lots and lots of your free times with her. You are a grown up man, Young-soo so I don't need to advice you a lot, I hope that you will take good care of your wife.”
Young-soo nodded his head in understanding.
Mrs. Lee gently patted Young-soo's shoulder, and said, ”It's time to sleep; now carry your wife in your arms and take her to your room without waking her up.”
”Mom, are you kidding me? I can't do that.”
Mrs. Lee slapped his shoulder, ”can't you see that she is sleeping? You don't know that you should not wake up a person from their sleep for an unnecessary reason. Now gently lift her up in your arms and take her to your room without waking her up.” She demanded.
”I can't win against you, mom,” Young-soo replied and walked near to Eunbi, he carefully carried up her in his arms in a bridal style and slowly walked to his room. He gently laid her down on his bed, and then he lay down next to her on the bed, covered their body with a blanket, and drifted off to sleep.
