35 The best for las (1/2)

Do Mi went up to the dock and saw her son and daughter-in-law kissing. She was so happy she got to see that. The kiss they shared in front of everyone seemed awkward and forced. She called out to the couple that it was time to go. They quickly looked at her and let go of each other. Awkward expressions on their faces.

When Ha Eun and Chang Wook arrived back to the house and went to the bedroom they didn't know what to say. After that kiss they didn't really exchange any pleasantries.

”Should I sleep in the bed?” Chang Wook asked himself. He glanced at Ha Eun but to him she didn't seem at all nervous, though she was very nervous indeed.

”Should I invite him to the bed?” she asked herself. She quickly glanced over at Chang Wook, but he was looking at a painting that was on the wall. He was obviously trying to avoid her, at least that's what she thought

”I shouldn't have let him kiss me” she thought to herself ”If I knew we would be stuck in this type of atmosphere I wouldn't have even danced with him. We were already awkward enough, now its even worse”

Ha Eun made her way to the closet to get some clothes then headed to take a shower. Chang Wook took that opportunity to sit on the bed and sigh ”Why am I being like this?” he asked himself ”We're married yet I'm acting like a middle schooler that just got his first girlfriend”

Chang Wook wondered if he could even call Ha Eun his girlfriend. He can technically call her his wife but without any love, it means nothing since they were just married for appearances. But after that kiss, could Ha Eun actually like him?

As Ha Eun took a shower she couldn't get that kiss out of her head. What is the nature of their relationship now? They are technically married but, are they dating?

She knew she had to draw a line somewhere. They were married for appearances, there wasn't supposed to be any feelings behind it but after that kiss things seem to have changed. She's taking longer with her shower hoping that after she leaves the bathroom Chang Wook would be sleeping.

Chang Wook at the moment was still on the bed but he was asleep. His worrying and overthinking caused him to drift off into sleep. When Ha Eun left the bathroom and saw him there on the bed with his tuxedo still on she felt relieved but also wondered if she should sleep on the floor but there's no telling if his family will barge in on them again, so there's no choice but to sleep in the same bed.

She gently takes off his shoes and unties his tie. She doesn't want to take anything else off worrying that she'll wake him up, so she covers him with a blanket, turns off the lights and goes to sleep.

...

The next morning Chang Wook was surprised to see Ha Eun right next to him. He couldn't believe he dozed off, he wanted to talk to her about their relationship and what they were going to do next but looking at her sleeping face made his worries disappear.

”I'll just stare at her for a while longer” he thought to himself and wondered how he never noticed how beautiful his boss truly was. He knew she was pretty, anyone could tell but she was truly beautiful. She had long eyelashes and her lips where so pink and glossy it looked like she was wearing lipstick. He thought back to when he kissed it.

”I kissed those lips” he thought. A redness covered his face. He noticed her stur and he took that as a sign to get out of the bed before she opened her eyes and start packing his stuff.

Ha Eun opened her eyes and noticed Chang Wook at the foot of the bed packing his things. The one thing he didn't know was that Ha Eun woke up way before him and just like he was looking at her, she was looking at him.

She wondered how she never noticed how handsome he was and disliked herself a little for never taking the time to get to know him. When she felt Chang Wook stir she closed her eyes in a panic then she could feel Chang Wook looking at her. She was so embarrassed about having to talk with him that she remained with her eyes closed, after a while of feeling his breathing on her she decided to move a little and with that she felt him get up from the bed. It seemed like he was also embarrassed as well.

Chang Wook noticed her eyes on him, but he didn't say anything ”Why did I get up? I should have stayed there and greeted her. We've known each other for years and its not like she's my first kiss yet I'm acting like such a kid” Chang Wook was mentally hitting himself.
