"Yongsun! Yongsun-ah!" 

Upon regaining his sense after the initial shock of his wife's act, Eric quickly moved to catch up to her and gently grabbed her hand only to be tugged back harshly by the woman herself. He called her name a couple more times but she just wouldn't turn. Not giving up, he followed her and just a few feet away, he saw Tom walk towards the right side of the car and open the door for her. 

Tom, after closing the door, looked up and cocked a brow at him, giving him a slight nod and walking to the other side to open the door for him before getting in and staring the car himself.

The minute he closed the door, he turned to Yongsun and saw that she had her eyes closed with a clear face void of any expression. 

"Yeobo. Please talk to me." He pleaded but the girl kept her silence. Seeing as it wasn't the place or time to talk about the matter, he sighed in defeat and leaned over grabbing the seatbealt and strapping her in. He then took the jacket he removed earlier and place it over her.

Eric cupped the left side of her face and instead of leaning to it like she'd always do, she turned away. She heard him sigh one more time and the sound of his own seatbelt buckling in before telling the older gent to drive them home. 

Minutes into the drive, it started showering and Tom stopped on the side of the road, unrolled the window and looked up the sky before closing the window and starting the car again.

"Eric, I think it'd be best if we drive down to Salisbury instead before the rain starts pouring hard and while we still have visibility." The old man said and as it is that he is the one who knows best when it comes to his own country, Eric nodded and thanking the man. 

"It'd be best if you could contact an inn for you two to settle in. I don't think we would be going home any time today."

Eric turned his sight away from his wife to the outside and noticed the heavy dark clouds covering the sky. "Will it be that bad?"

"To us folks here, it's completely normal. But to you, it may seem like a storm has come upon the lands."

He didn't need to be told twice so fishing his phone out, he looked for an inn or a hotel online and found a good establishment just a few minutes away from the town chapel. He told the driver the name of the establishment and Tom just nodded.

When they arrived, Eric asked Tom to keep his now sleeping wife company while he checks them in. He returned a couple of minutes later handing a key to Tom for his room and quietly carrying his wife inside the hotel and into their room.

Waking up, Yongsun found herself in an unfamiliar room with the sound of the rain falling hard. Somehow, with the new environment, she didn't panic and instead, felt quite comfortable in her surrounding. Rubbing the sleep off of her eyes, she looked around and noticed a note placed on the night table. She took it and it read; 

                               Went out for a few... 

                                          Be back later...                 ~ E.

Putting the note down, she got off the bed and looked around the room. Sizing it up and observing the decors, she knew for sure that they weren't in some fancy hotel but in a humble and cozy accommodation which she'd rather prefer instead of some fancy establishment.

Feeling her mind getting ambused by the memories of what had happened earlier, Yongsun couldn't help but feel dread to how rash she acted after what she had seen and frustration towards herself for being unable to express herself properly. Although she would try to be rational and tell herself that what happened wasn't Eric's fault on his own but hers as well, she still couldn't help but point out why she's putting all the blame on him.

Lost in her reverie, she just stared out the window watching the rain hit the ground.

"Yongsun?" 

She automatically turned to face the voice but despite the warmth tone of it, she felt no urge to smile as her mind tried to find the balance between the two of them. As quick as she'd turned to look at him, she turned her attention back to the outside world with the battle between her mind and her heart.

"Hey. You'll catch a cold." Eric wrapped her in a blanket with both arms wrapping around her waist after.

Not one of them moved until Yongsun felt him place his hed on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry." Eric mumbled loud enough for her to hear.

She stiffened and asked herself why he was apologizing 'til he said it again.

"I'm just... I'm really sorry, Yongsun-ah." He sighed and she could feel his warm breath sending tingles on the back of her neck.

Holding her by the shoulder, he tried to make her turn around and she did but still avoided his eyes. "Honey, look at me? Please."

Yongsun shut her eyes and through gritted teeth, she found herself asking him why. 

"Huh?"

"Why? W-why are you even apologizing?" She took his hands of him and took a step back. "Why?"

Eric couldn't surpress his shock and confusion at her action and questions.

"Yongsun-ah-"

"Why?! Why oppa?" She let it all go and grew more frustrated at herself letting her tears fall. "Why are you even apologizing? Y-you didn't do anything wrong... It was me. It is my fault."

"Hey. Yongsun, don't say that." Eric said taking a step closer but she just moved to the side and took another step back.

"W-why? Why shouldn't I say it?" Her voice faltered and she knew that not before long, her tears will follow after. "Why can't I say it? I'm right, aren't I? It is my fault. I'm not like them! I'm not like the other girls!"

Her voice grew louder than he'd ever heard her and the tears she'd been holding back had started falling.

"I'm not like them." Her voice showed her vulnerability and insecurity. "I'm not one to be called pretty. I don't have much curves to be called a woman. My laugh sounds so strange... I just... I- I don't even know why you married me. I-"

Stopping her right there and then. Eric cupped Yongsun's face and gently raised it up to make her face him. Next thing she knew, his lips was on hers moving so gently treating her like a delicate flower. It didn't take long for Yongsun to respond as he loved how his kisses always made her feel elated and wonderful.

When they finally came for air, Eric rubbed his nose with hers and pressed his forehead on hers.

When she looked up, she wanted to turn her head and look away immediately but his hands held her in place so she just closed her eyes and waited for him to let go.

"You're not like them." He's voice sounded ice cold and angry that the iciness of it gave her goosebumps. But hearing him speak in that tone, it also sent some new and foreign tingles on her skin. "I don't want you to be like them."

He sounded angry and yet, she felt like he was calling her out and when she opened her eyes to meet his, all she wanted to do was give in to him.

"You can't be pretty because you are already beautiful." Eric said and kissed her deeply then pulled out just as she was about to respond making her release a groan. "You don't have curves?" He scoffed and boldly and sensually traced his right hand down to her neck, shoulder, waist, to the small of her back and to her backside making her gasp and hold that hand but didn't pull it away. He smirked and kissed her one more time the same way making her grab hold on him but he pulled away again.

"You fit so perfect in my hands that I have all the curve I need." He gently squeezed her that she gasped and pulled herself to his chest to hide her flushed face. "Your laugh? It's what pulled me to you. And as to why I married you?"

He held her by the waist and her chin tilting it up to make her look at him.

"These past couple of months, haven't I shown you?" He traced her lip and kissed it like there was no tomorrow. "Mrs. Nam Yongsun. You're right. You're not like the other girls. Because compare to those other girls, I would and could never fall in love with them as hard as I have fallen so deeply in love with you. I love you so much that it just makes me want to hold you and kiss you and... Damn. I am so in love with you."

Her eyes grew as wide as they can get and not too long, she grabbed his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss. 

"I love you." Yongsun whispered to his parted lips.

Eric's hand trailed her curves once more until it reached her face and said, "I'm not rushing you, love. I don't-"

Yongsun pressed her lips on him one more time and cupped his face saying those three heart thumping words. "I do. I love you." She repeated when he didn't say anything and the look on her eyes was pleading for him to believe her.

With no words needed, Eric leaned in and in no time, Yongsun is on the bed with Eric hovering over her. 

The longer and the hotter this session continued, the harder it was for Eric control himself. As much as he wanted to take her right there and then, he didn't want to scare his wife so as long as he can, he pushed himself back causing them both to groan at the loss.

"I..." Eric exhaled heavily trying to cool his body down a few degrees. "Y-yeobo. Let's... Let's stop. I-i don't think I'll-"

He didn't finish as he was pulled in and that his wife started kissing him. It didn't take long for their clothes to be shed and once Yongsun was only in her bra and underwear, Eric wanted to give her one last chance. But seeing her half lidded eyes reflecting what he felt that moment, he just lost it and thus the night of heat and passion began.

After their heated and passionate love making, Yongsun, feeling shy and exposed, turned her back on him and covered herself. Eric couldn't be more amuse at his wife's antic as he uncovered her until her chest area and pulled her in, slipping his arm under her head and sliding the other down to her arm and interlacing hers and his fingers together.

"Is my wifey being shy now?" He teased causing her to whine and nudge him with her elbow. He chuckled sighed nuzzling the back of her neck and living baby kisses on her exposed shoulder. "Yongsun-ah. Are you still awake?"

"Hmm." She said and nodded her head.

"D-did..." He sighed at the thought that after what had just happened, bringing up what lead on to their love making could make her clam up again but even though, they had to talk about it now before another situation like this occured. So, clearing his throat, he asked her clearly what he needed to clear out with her. "I'm sorry."

Yongsun tensed hearing his apology again. "H-hmm?"

"I'm so sorry that I made you feel like you had to be like those other girls. But truth be told, I don't even notice much about them when I know I have you." He felt her relax at his word and swallowing a lump, he continued. "I-if... if there are times that my actions or my words make you feel in anyway, don't hesitate to talk to me about it. I'm your husband and you are my wife. I don't want you stressing out and bottling up your feelings, okay?" She nodded gently and he kissed the back of her head. "And, yeobo, I know I can be oblivious sometimes bu-"

"You're not." She mumbled cutting him off.

"Huh? Not?" He was genuinely confused.

Fidgeting, Yongsun slowly turned around and gave him a lazy peck. "You're not oblivious. To the slightest bit, you've always payed attention and would always remember things that I've said in passing. You've always taken good care of me and there's nothing else I could say but good praises for you." She said  looking deep in his eyes before bowing her head down and burrowing it on the crook of his shoulder and neck. "I just feel so inadequate and insecure sometimes and I know... I know I shouldn't feel that way but I just can't help it. I guess... I just... I need more time to be gain confidence for myself."

"You already are." Eric regarded and raised her chin so that their gaze would meet. "Remember all those time when you said you can't do it? Like back at home when you started decorating the bar area?" He saw her nod lightly and he smiled and continued before getting lost in her eyes. "You were a bit hesitant at first but when you got around it, you were totally in control and your smile was more radiant than the sun after seeing how beautifully you've finished them. Had I done it myself, it wouldn't have looked any better than yours."

Yongsun nuzzled her head on his chest tickling him a little with her hair.

"But that's because you were there telling me what to do." She said followed by a small yawn.

"No. It's because I'm answering your questions, yeobo." He answered caressing  her cheek.

She leaned onto his touch sighing in bliss as she feel sleep pulling her in.

"Oppa." Yongsun mumbled and he hummed in return. "I'm... *yawn* I'm going to sleep."

He chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "Okay. Good night. And Yongsun?"

"Hmm?"

"Saranghae."

Yongsun automatically drew a smile on her lips and kissed Eric's chest before drifting to sleep.

*N: H-hi?? Uhmmm... 

    I tried... I swear... I really tried... I was in that part of writing the sm**ty scene when my brain just collapsed and I just had to rewrite it. I just felt so cringy writing it and God! the amount of headbutting I need to do to get rid of the image inside my head!

    By the way, if you've noticed, I made a few references from some episode in WGM :)

    Thanks always everyone! :) 

    See you on the next update!
