Chapter 78

“Now, I want you to put your arms around her waist.”

SPAO will feature a collection of couple wear for the winter season. Siwon and Yoona was chosen to be models of the said line; both known as the “faces” or “visualists” of their own group. The photographer likes to work with them so much because they posses undeniable chemistry among other artists.

Yoona enjoys working with Siwon during these times. The pictorial itself was fun; trying different outfits and posing before the camera has always been her passion.

“Thank you for doing well today. My camera is very happy because of you.”

“Kamsahamnida. You did great too. Those pictures will surely come out beautiful.” Siwon firmly shook the photographer’s hand.

“Anyway, I hope this aint rude, but you two suit each other well. What’s the secret behind your chemistry? You look so comfy working with each other.”

Yoona smiled and looked at Siwon.”What could be our secret, huh?” They both laughed.

“Seriously, Siwon-oppa and I have no secrets. We simply love what we do. About the chemistry, that’s beyond our control.”

“Simsim, I’ve heard a lot of people say we’re so compatible.” Yoona fastened her seatbelt.

Siwon giggled. “As mentioned, that’s beyond our control. Ah, would you like to go somewhere?”

“Hmmm.... Honestly, I have no idea.” She can’t think of a nice place to go during winter. “All we can see is snow everywhere.”

“Aha!” Siwon raised his eyebrow. “Bambam, I’ll take you to my house. We can have a snack near the fireplace.”

-----

It was Yoona’s first time to visit Siwon’s house. She was delighted to see his stuff well-organized and the place looked neat.

“Welcome home, my Bambam.” He told her to sit on the sofa and wait as he prepare food. “Feel free to look around.”

She saw Siwon’s pictures when he was young and she couldn’t help but smile. He was born a charmer. Of all the pictures hanging on the wall, his recent picture was her favorite. The beautiful girl looked around to make sure nobody’s watching and quickly kissed the portrait. She bit her lip and giggled upon realizing her childish act. I just stole a kiss!

“What are you giggling at?” Siwon appeared carrying a tray and his girlfriend was surprised to see him.

“Ah-n-nothing... Your pictures are so adorable.”

The couple sat near the fireplace and enjoyed shortcakes and tea.

“Simsim, I’m glad to see your place so neat. I really wanted a boyfriend who knows how to clean his house and do chores. You’re making me feel lucky.” Yoona ran her index finger on his eyebrow.

“Actually, I feel sorry for you.” Siwon looked at her straight in the eye.”I always make you cry and you often worry because of me.” He gave her a back hug. “I’m sorry for being a sickly boyfriend. I’m supposed to be the one to look after you but it’s the other way around.”

She gently touched his face. “Ssshh, You don’t have to be sorry. You’re the best thing I ever had and I promised myself that I won’t love any other man except you and my appa forever.”

Siwon pouted, “How about our future son?”

Yoona blushed and spanked his arm. “You’re so silly! I’m not thinking about such things yet! But if that time comes, I think our children will have a special place in my heart.”

“Saranghae, Im Yoona.” He looked more charming with his smile.

She gave him a peck on the cheek. “Choi Siwon, saranghaeyo.”

Siwon stood up and bended over. “Hop on, my Bambam.”

“You seriously want to carry me on your back?” The beautiful girl was afraid that it might affect his heart condition.

“Of course! I can’t give you a piggyback ride in public so let me do it here. I’ll tour you around my house. Don’t worry; the doctor said I’m doing well now.”

“Alright then.” She finally resolved to grant his request. “But please tell me if you’re tired.”

Siwon grinned and winked at her. “Arasso.” He continuously tapped his shoulders. “Hop on.”

He showed her the whole house, and it’s pretty big for one person to live on. Everything seemed to have a touch of his personality. He even had an arcade room, mini music studio, and a personal gym.

“Simsim, aren’t you going to put me down yet?” She felt bothered as her boyfriend carried her. “I know I’m heavy.”

Siwon laughed. “What are you talking about? I’m totally fine. You told me to speak up if I’m already tired, don’t you? I’m far from giving up, Bambam. Now stop worrying too much.”

He carried her all the way to a door bearing a huge sign.

KEEP OUT

“Simsim, what’s in here?” Yoona pointed at the door.

“That’s my bedroom. I put that sign to keep SuJu members and our manager from invading my private place.”   

She sported an aegyo pout. “Maybe you’re hiding something.”

Siwon giggled. “You wanna see? Ok, let’s come in.” He opened the door.

“Put me down, I wanna see for myself.” She excitedly looked around. “Hmm....where could it be?” Her boyfriend’s room was simple and minimalistic.

“I won’t give you a clue.” Siwon winked.

Yoona threw herself on the king size bed. “Wah! This is so fluffy!”She squirmed like a worm. “Aish, this is making me feel sleepy.” 

“You still look beautiful while yawning.” Siwon laid beside her. “Look up.”

The beautiful girl pinched his chin before looking above. She was surprised to see her picture placed on the ceiling.

“I glued it myself.” He looked at her with loving eyes. “I don’t want others to see it.”

“Yeah, the reason why you never allowed them to go in here. I look good in that picture.” She was rather amused to see her photo on the ceiling.

“I want to see your face as soon as I open my eyes. You’re the first person I see in the morning and the last before I close my eyes to sleep. I’ll never grow tired looking at your face, Yoona. And if I die in my sleep, I’ll still be happy because I got a last glimpse of you.”

Yoona looked at him with a frown. “Hajima. You promised me that we’ll grow old together and you need to keep that.”

“Arasso.” He gently kissed her forehead. “I’ll go downstairs. I’m thirsty. You just stay here.”

The beautiful girl cutely nodded and laid back on his bed.

Siwon hurriedly went down; he was tightly clutching his chest as he looked upon the cupboard. He took his medicine immediately. He gasped for air and started to tear up.

Mianhae, my Yoona..... I lied....... Mianhae.

Truth is, his chest has been hurting all along and he didn’t want Yoona to see him in pain.
