Lyn is comfortable in her husband’s arm. It feels like how they used to. Though they were not like a normal married couple, they do express their feelings their own way at times. They can be sweet and romantic too. They were more like a dating couple who were getting to know each other. Especially after Lyn heard his very first confession when she was in coma for the first time. She tried to open her heart more for him. Though it didn’t last for a long time, they once experienced the happiness too. At this very moment, everything seems right. She can feel how sincere the kiss on her forehead is. She can feel the honesty in his every action. He is very protective. He is very caring and loving. This is the husband figure she had before. He is finally back. She is thankful for that. “Kyungsoo ssi, I believe everything happens for a reason. I don’t feel like the three months were taken away from me but God gifted me that time to recover myself. He gifted me that space to heal my inner wound. He let me meet with my grandparents that I missed so dearly. He gave me the opportunity to spend it with them who truly loved me unconditionally. I felt like a little girl who spent her holiday travelling to a fun place accompanied by her grandparents. They taught me that true love does exist. Their relationship is the proof. As I told you before, I never thought about this world when I was there but when I think about it again, I don’t think it is 100% correct. Now that I am in your arms in this garden, I think I saw this similar scene before. But it was not us. It was my grandparents. I saw them sitting exactly like how we are right now. I witnessed it myself. I was looking at them while gathering the flowers for them. Now I remember.” Lyn stops for a while. She looks at his hand holding her hand. Kyungsoo is waiting for her to continue her story.

Smiling looking at their hands locking with each other, Lyn continues to share the story. “Actually at that time, you briefly popped in my mind. I said to myself. “How I wish I got the chance to experience the true love just like how they did. Kyungsoo ssi is my husband but now that I am here, I don’t think I got the chance to even fall in love now. Well, being a wife was more than enough I guess. Kyungsoo ssi, I wish you all the best.” Even now, I still remember exactly everything that I said that time. It was the day I left that world. It was the day when my grandparents went into the light. It was the day when I was thrown back into life. I am here right now. I am back in this world. And I am still your wife. Their love is just so beautiful. Honestly I felt jealous at them. Will I ever have the chance to experience a beautiful true love that I never had Kyungsoo ssi?” She asks looking up at him. Kyungsoo is already crying. He lets her hand go and wraps his arms around Lyn’s body holding her tight. “You will experience it sweetheart. You deserve that true love. If there is someone that you can fall in love with, it’s your husband. And I am your husband. Don’t be scared to fall for me because I am always here to catch you when you fall. You won’t feel hurt because you will fall on top of me. I am always here to protect you. OMG! Only God knows how much I love you Lyn. You and me in this marriage, we will create our own true love story just like your grandparents. Remember, I will definitely be there to catch you when you fall. So don’t be scared sweetheart.” He answers convincing her. He looks at her lovingly with his two beautiful round eyes before planting a kiss on her nose. He just can’t resist himself from kissing her.

Listening to his answer, Lyn is satisfied at the convincing reply. She knows that he is being honest. She knows that Kyungsoo is an amazing young man. He knows what he wants and he never gives up until he gets what he is working hard for. That is a good quality of man in him. She feels safe whenever he is around. She feels so at peace being in his arms. She actually has another question to ask. She never asks this question before because she doesn’t see the need for it but now that they have come this far, she wants a definite answer for it. “Kyungsoo ssi, can I ask you one question?” She asks looking at him. He nods waiting for her question. “What do you want to ask sweetheart?” He asks giving the way to her. “Kyungsoo ssi, right now can I really fall in love with you? Like seriously? You’re giving me the permission to love you? You won’t change your mind, right?” She finally got to ask him that question. Kyungsoo is surprised to be asked that weird question. Like he is confused of why Lyn needs his permission to fall in love with her own husband. But then he remembers something. He looks right into her eyes in disbelief. He drops his jaw. No wonder Lyn doesn’t ever let herself fall in love with him, Kyungsoo was the one who asked her not to fall for him on their wedding night. He asked her to never fall in love with him. It was the thing that he asked her to promise him. He never thought that she is still holding tight to that promise. Not only to that promise but to every promises that they made that night, she still remembers everything. “The promise? Did you restrain yourself from falling in love with me because of the promise we made on our first night sweetheart?” He asks her slowly. Lyn nods. She looks at him with a bitter smile on her face. “I keep that promise until now. I am not allowed to fall in love with my own husband. That is why I never really opened my heart for you.” She explains looking at him before she moves to look at the floor. She is still smiling bitterly as she is thinking about that night.

Kyungsoo is in disbelief. His wife is very innocent. He shakes his head. He can’t believe that he is the reason behind this hurtful story. He never thinks about it. “Who would know that I am the one who stopped the rightful one from loving me? I kept on thinking on what to do to make you fall in love with me. But the truth is, I was the one who didn’t allow you to love me. OMG! I totally forgot about that sweetheart. I never thought about that when I decided to follow what my heart wants. And my heart wants you. I can’t deny that one fact that my heart, my mind, my whole body, they all want you. From this second, I free you from all the silly promises I made you do on our wedding night. Let’s start living as a real married couple. Let’s start loving each other like a normal husband and wife. So sweetheart, please open your heart for me. You don’t have to restrain yourself from loving me anymore. I beg you. Please love me.” He says to her sincerely. Lyn is very unexpected person. Who knows that she has been keeping the promises they made that night. Lyn looks at her husband. She slowly nods. “Thank you Kyungsoo ssi. Now that I am not tied to any promises, I am so relieved. The promises we made that night might look easy but keeping them safely was definitely exhausting. I am finally free now. Thank you!” She says to him. She is smiling wide. She feels so light at heart right now. It is as if the whole burden is taken away from her shoulders. “I am really sorry for unknowingly torturing you with those silly promises. What was I even thinking? I am sorry for hurting you Lyn. It must be surprising for you that night. We never really talked about that. I was totally a stranger who came into your life and suddenly became your husband. On the same night, I demanded you to promise me so many weird things. How can you look so calm that night sweetheart? I didn’t even sense any sadness or disappointment in your face. You didn’t even look surprised as if you were expecting that from me.” Kyungsoo opens the session for the thing that happened almost two years ago.

Looking at her husband with a cheeky smile on her face, Lyn starts laughing. “What? Why are you laughing?” Kyungsoo asks his wife who is acting very strangely. She shakes her head. “It’s nothing. I mean it is just so weird talking about it now. In few more months, this marriage will be turning two. And we are finally talking about this topic tonight? It is funny. But yeah, let’s just talk about that. You might not realize it but I have this ability to read people. It is not that I have a sixth sense or something like that. I have this tendency to observe people. I have been like that since I was a kid. And if you could see yourself that night, you would see how restless you were. So it was very easy for me to know that you were there for some other reasons. I mean why would you want to marry someone like me when you can find another more special girl out there easily? At the very second we were left alone; I could see that you were looking for the right time to talk about something. So I think that is why I was not that surprised that night. At first I wanted to spend the night just getting to know more about each other and I really wanted to know why you wanted me as a wife. But my plan got cancelled because somehow you just gave me all the answers through the promises you made me to do. I didn’t see any needs for me to know all the behind stories. So I decided not to ask about it. At that time, the only thing that I had in my mind was, I was already married, there was nothing could be changed. It is impossible for me to turn back the time. So I thought to myself, I would just be the best wife for someone that I called husband. Though I had no idea what wife I would become after that night, I just thought that maybe I can find some light in this wedding. I would just go with the flow and that was what I did up until today.” She shares her thought about the marriage.

“So sweetheart, you have no idea why I married you up until today?” Kyungsoo asks his wife. She nods. “I have no clue at all. I never asked and no one ever told me anything about it. When my family convinced me into this marriage, they never mentioned about love and feelings, they only told me that you were different. You were not like those guys that I met before. I accepted your marriage proposal because you successfully convinced my entire family to have the trust on you to take good care of me after we got married. To me, that was amazing enough. It never happened before. Normally, there would be one or two of them who would stop me from accepting the proposal but that time, none was acting that way. I was surprised. I thought this time; this guy must be really different from all the other guys. When I first saw you that day, I was like ‘No wonder they told me he is different, he is really out of other guys’ league. No one can be like him.’ I am an ExoL, so I know who you are. You are known to be different and weird. At that time, I agreed with them right away. I mean the part where they said that you were different because I never saw someone like you before. So Nampyeon nim (Mr Husband), do you want to tell me why you married me now? Or do you need more time to reveal everything?” She asks him. He looks like he is hesitating. “Lyn, I will let you know everything about that but not now. I will let you know soon. Okay?” He says to her. She only nods. “Thanks sweetheart.” He says to her. She only smiles at him.

“Aren’t you cold Lyn?” Kyungsoo asks his wife. Lyn shakes her head. “No, I am fine.” She shortly answers. “I think we better go back to your room. It’s late now. Shall we?” He suggests. “Kyungsoo ssi? Can we go to that convenient store for a while?” She asks pointing at the 24 hours mini mart. “Why? Are
