Nine Months

They say that time changes lots of things. Whether it's good or bad, the healing process is time and patience. But for Noeul, things that were changing for her was always good. Hyungsik and her were still going strong and her friendship with Jooyeon grew strong as well.

Noeul never had a sister before and Jooyeon was closest thing to her. They started off slow at first but then they connected fast and their friendship became close to the point where they would spend more time together than their boyfriends.

Hyungsik would get a bit jealous when he couldn't spend some time with his girlfriend because of the "girl" time Noeul was having but it was good in a sense she had a good friend nearby aside from Siwan.

The past two weeks, Noeul was having some doubts on Hyungsik. She thought he had been cheating on her. He would disappear at a certain hour and he wouldn't come back until late. He would tell Noeul, he would be going out doing an errand for his parents or for Siwan.

But when Noeul asked Siwan the truth, he couldn't help but to tell her it was something Hyungsik was looking for as a gift for her. It was a surprise and he didn't want to tell her much details. Being understanding as she is, Noeul didn't push the issue and trusted Siwan's words and Hyungsik's actions.

On that same day, Jooyeon came over to ask for help on her outfit for her date with Minsik later that night. The couple was going strong and she was very spoiled by him. Noeul would still see her best friend flustered at every date they went on.

Life is good.

Noeul had woken up one morning and had a smiled on her face. She was remembering last night events with Hyungsik. They were in the other room watching a movie laying down before the movie could finish, he started playing with her hair and she ended up falling asleep.

He had chuckled seeing his girl fall asleep on his chest. He had stayed in the same spot for a while before he picked her up and took her to her room. She had woken up when she was placed on her bed and pulled him down to her for a goodnight kiss.

Shortly that kissed turned into an intense kiss but before it got more serious, they stopped and Hyungsik went home.

During the mid day, Noeul was cleaning her room and she didn't like the silence so she had decided to put some music. She was singing away and jumping to the beat as she picked up and put things away. Before she knew it, she was finished and an old favorite song came on.

She had started humming first before she started dancing around her room.

Hyungsik had let himself inside his girl's house and when he heard the music coming from upstairs he couldn't help but smile as he knew it had something to do with Noeul. He made his way to her room going up the stairs.

He was feeling anxious today. He had the day already planned out. It was going to be the perfect afternoon until the evening. When he reached Noeul's room she had her back facing him and swayed her hips side to side.

He couldn't help but smile and cross his arms as he leaned against the door frame watching Noeul keep dancing.

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

He smiled wide as he saw her jump up and down with her hands in the air. Her hair was swaying from side to side as she moved her head back and forth. Just as the song faded out and then back in, Noeul couldn't help but to sway her hips again that would make Hyungsik bit his bottom lip.

He chuckled the moment she turned around not bothering to pay attention that he was there. She saw someone at the door way and her eyes widen as she saw her boyfriend watch her. She stopped dancing and moved her hair out of the way and felt her cheeks turn red.

"H-hey." she smiled as she lowered the music.

"Well, that was a nice show." he chuckled as he pushed himself off and went to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Noeul hit his chest playfully and rested her hands on his shoulders. "I especially loved the part when you swayed your hips."

"Of course you did." she said sarcastically.

He knocked his head with her's as he shut his eyes taking in her sweet raspberry scent. He heard her hiss at the slight pain and opened his eyes looking at her. "Do you want to go out on a date with me?"

"Where are we going?" she asked with a smile.

"It's starts off with Treasure Market and dinner and then a surprise." he gave her a peck on her lips. "So how about it?"

She pushed herself on her toes and pressed her lips on his. He gladly kissed her back and pulled her closer. She pulled back and gave a chaste kiss. "I'd like that."

They smiled between kisses before they left the house.

Arriving at Treasure Market, it had been getting colder outside and Hyungsik made sure Noeul was dressed up warm enough. Luckily before they left the house, he got some heating packs and stuffed them in pockets of their jacket. He didn't like it whenever she got sick. He worried too much even if it was just the simple cold or flu.

Noeul smiled as she was walking down the different tables seeing different things. She stopped at the table with bracelets and looked around. Hyungsik had his arm on her shoulders and kept her close since there was a lot of people.

The older woman saw the couple looking at bracelets and smiled as she remembered them from many months ago. "Hello there."

They both looked at her and smiled.

"Did she like the gift you bought her?" she asked Hyungsik waiting for a response. "You bought a five set bracelet a while back when she wasn't pay attention. Do you remember?"

Hyungsik nodded his head as he rubbed his neck. "Yeah, she wears it every day."

Noeul blushed as she looked at Hyungsik; who was looking back at her with a smile.

The woman smiled and cleared getting their attention. "Pick one it's on me."

Noeul blinked her eyes. "No I couldn't."

The woman nodded her head and smiled. "Go ahead."

Biting her bottom lip,
