28 Shes a klutz (1/2)

As they walked down the mountain Ha Eun wished for there to be an elevator. Chang Wook had a smile on his face as if something good had just happened. It must be nice to still have all that energy after climbing up a mountain.

He was a few steps in front of her. She wanted to tell him to stop so she could take another breath but when she went to reach him, she quickly fell head first on the ground.

Chang Wook turned around and saw his boss lying on the ground. She had her arms and legs stretched out which made her look like an X.

”Is there treasure under there?” Chang Wook asked with a chuckle. Ha Eun looked up at him.

”This is not the time to be funny. I actually hurt myself” Ha Eun said with a frown. Chang Wook helped her sit up but when Ha Eun tried to stand, her foot hurt too much.

”I think I broke my foot” Ha Eun said worriedly. She has never broken a bone before, how long will she have to be bedridden? She won't be able to get any work done.

Chang Wook helped her to sit down on a bench near them ”Calm down. If you broke it you'd be in too much pain to even complain about it” he got down on one knee and took off Ha Eun's shoe. He inspected her foot and tried to place his hand where it hurt. His eyes on her foot made her grow self conscious of it and wonder when was the last time that she got a pedicure.

”That's enough!” Ha Eun said and moved her foot from Chang Wook's grasp, but the sudden movement made her groan in pain.

”It's not broken but it might be sprained” he told her ”Can you walk?” he asked as he got back up on his feet. Ha Eun shook her head. He turned around and crouched down ”Get on”

”What are you doing?” Ha Eun asked him.

”I'm going to carry you back down. We're not that far from civilization” Chang Wook told her, but he worried that she might be too heavy and could possibly break his back. He's never given piggyback rides before.

Ha Eun scoffed ”Am I a koala? I'm not getting on your back” she told him ”Just call an ambulance or something”

Chang Wook rolled his eyes at her ”You don't need a hospital for this” he told her. Ha Eun still refused to get on his back, believing her foot was indeed very hurt.

Chang Wook got Ha Eun up her feet, he bent down, grabbed her thighs and lifted her over his shoulder. Ha Eun squealed in surprise.

”What are you doing?!” she yelled but Chang Wook noticed a sense of excitement in her tone. Was she having fun?

”Taking you down the mountain” Chang Wook said, ”Hopefully I'll be able to make it” he took deep breaths ”Have you gained weight?”

Ha Eun's face turned red as an apple ”Put me down, put me down, put me down!” she yelled and hit his back a few times.

”Relax, I'm only kidding” he said laughing, she was practically as light as a feather.

Their conversation got cut off on the way down. Chang Wook wondered what to say to his boss, he knew for sure he had a lot of things to tell her before, but now that he's realized his feelings, he's drawn a blank as to what to talk about with her. What did they usually talk about before this whole ordeal happened?

Oh yeah…her.

A slight chuckle left Ha Eun's voice ”What are you laughing about?” he asked her.

”Nothing, its just been years since the last time I got a piggyback ride” Ha Eun said. She felt childish thinking about when she got piggyback rides.

Chang Wook was confused ”A piggyback ride?” he asked, worried that his boss might have also hurt her head when she fell.

”Yes, the way you're carrying me. It's a piggyback ride. Haven't you ever heard of them?” Ha Eun said mockingly. Chang Wook widened his eyes ”Mr. Oh gave me piggyback rides a few times. Just like this.”

”You think this is a piggyback ride?” Chang Wook asked.

”What else would it be?” Ha Eun countered. Chang Wook tried to hold in his laughter. He wanted to tell everyone about this.

”Well boss, I'm sorry to say this but Mr. Oh knows poop about piggyback riding” Chang Wook said with a smile.

”Oh yes he does, Mr. Oh's brother-in-law has 2 kids, he and his wife, give them piggyback rides just like this”

”Wow” Chang Wook couldn't believe her words ”So, your family is full of piggyback failures” Chang Wook chuckled. He couldn't hold in his laughter.

”What's that supposed to mean?” Ha Eun asked defensively ”Mr. Oh is a great piggybacker”

”Do you want to know what I think about that?” Chang Wook asked.

”What?!” Ha Eun asked. Suddenly Chang Wook spanked her. Ha Eun's yelled ”Ow!” her face grew red with embarrassment. Although Chang Wook couldn't see her reaction, but just imagining it made him chuckle.

”You jerk! Wait till I get my hands on you” Chang Wook spanked her one more time while laughing ”Stop it!” she whined. Her words just made him want to tease her more and more.

”Then stop whining about it” Chang Wook laughed and spanked her again.
