42 Shameless (1/2)

The driver was feeling embarrassed hearing all of this. If he had known the couple were going to be talking about their private life he would have closed the window that separated the driver's side from the back seat. But if he closed it now they would notice, and they might feel embarrassed.

But somewhere in the back of his head he found it refreshing to see the madame make such an expression. She was always so cold and straight-faced. Seeing this side of her made him happy that she had met Chang Wook.

He'll be sure to tell Mr. Oh that the couple are very loving towards one another.

Ha Eun was able to move her hands out of his grasps. Chang Wook raised his eyebrows at her. He started to lean in but Ha Eun pointed at him ”Stay over there. Don't move any closer or your fired”

Chang Wook stifled a laugh ”Really? You're still using that against me?” he smiled ”That trick won't work on me anymore”

He crossed his arms over his chest and looked forward. He then noticed the window that separated the driver from them was open and the driver was looking at them through the mirror. The two of them even made eye contact.

The driver quickly looked back at the rode and Chang Wook looked out the window. Both acting like they didn't see each other. Chang Wook glanced over at Ha Eun, she was looking down at her feet, with her arms crossed around her chest. She was still embarrassed so he thought to himself that it would be best not to tell her that the driver saw them.

Once the car stopped, they were in front of a two-story house. It had many floor to ceiling windows, he could see the living room, half of the kitchen and even a bedroom that was on the top floor.

Ha Eun wondered where they were?

”Driver, this isn't my house” Ha Eun said. The driver nodded.

”It is now. Mr. Oh got it for the both of you as a wedding present” he said. Ha Eun and Chang Wook stared at each other, shocked. Chang Wook always thought of a wedding present as a toaster or kitchenware, not a whole house.

”You should look inside, its very pretty” the driver added.

Ha Eun was shocked by this. She never expected the lie she came up with on the spot would lead to an actual wedding and now getting an actual house.

Ha Eun crossed her arms over her chest and tried to calm down ”Why can't that man ever do something simple? He always has to go to the extreme”

”Well, nothing we can do about it now” Chang Wook said to Ha Eun. He planned to get the bags from the trunk, but the driver said ”You don't need to worry about that Sir, your bags and all your stuff from your previous apartment are all inside. Your's as well, Madame”

Chang Wook crinckled his eyebrows. What did he mean by all his stuff?

Once inside the house, the couple was shocked by what they saw. Flower petals on the floor and lit candles everywhere.

Chang Wook was impressed and even whistled ”This is going to take a lot of cleaning” he said and blew out one of the candles. Ha Eun was surprised by how well he was taking this. But why wouldn't he be taking it well? He was married to the girl he liked and now he was going to live with her. All he had to do now was get her to fall in love with him.

Ha Eun went in the living room. There was a big plasma screen on the wall, a big white sofa with Mr & Mrs pillows, there were also framed pictures of the two of them as kids and even when they graduated University.

Chang Wook even noticed his video game console connected to the TV as well as his videogames stacked in a stand specifically for video games.

”I'm guessing this is what they meant when they said all of my stuff was here” Chang Wook said as he pointed at the pictures and his console.

”You play video games?” Ha Eun looked at him questioningly. Chang Wook felt a bit embarrassed by how she phrased the question. She sounded disappointed in him. ”You're such a kid” she added.

Ha Eun looked around the kitchen. Chang Wook followed behind her. In the kitchen the tableware had the couples names and there were sets of two aprons as well as two cutting boards. As they continued to walk around the house they found that there was a small gym, a home theather and in the backyard there was a pool.

Ha Eun scoofed at that.

”They know I can't stand the water, yet they got us a house with a pool” Ha Eun said.

Chang Wook wanted to know what she meant by that. She first said she couldn't swim and now she said she hated the water. He was curious about her experience with the water. He was also curious about what she talked about with that guy while he was with Mr. Oh and Ji Seok, but he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

They then headed upstairs. There were even more flower petals. They made a straight line towards the last room to the right. Ha Eun was a bit scared about what she would find after she opened that door.

It was a bedroom that had a king sized, canopy bed. The walls were a light grey. The bedroom had a chandelier, a bookcase, filled with books, a loveseat sofa and a coffee table. It also had a large vanity and the bathroom had two sinks, a shower and a bathtub.

Chang Wook was impressed with how the bedroom looked. It was pretty. He looked to the right and saw the drawing that they got together at the Cherry Blossom Festival. Chang Wook couldn't help but smile thinking about how they'll be sleeping in the same bedroom and living in the same house. His cheeks got a bit red just imagining sleeping in the same bed with her.

Ha Eun looked closely at how the flower petals led directly to the bed and there was a card on it.

She walked towards it and it read ”Have fun” and it was signed by Mr. Oh. A smile appeared on Chang Wook's face. He glanced over at Ha Eun. Her expression was pricless. Her face was bright red. He decided to tease her.

”Mrs. Kim, what are you thinking about?” he whispered in her ear as he took the card out of her hands. She turned around to face him. She had forgotten he was behind her.

”Wha…what are you talking about?” she said, stuttering.

Chang Wook got closer to her which made her back away and lean on the bed. She didn't want Chang Wook to think that she was expecting anything like this when she blackmailed him into marrying her.
