A Familiar Stranger

Rousing from sleep, Ji Hyo stretches. She could feel something delightfully radiating heat behind her. She hasn't slept this well in so long. Cracking open an eye, she turns and finds Kwang Soo. His arms still wrapped around her. The sight of him comfortably hugging her as he sleeps causes a small smile to appear on her face. 

 

"Stay longer, will you, Kwang Soo ya?" She whispers, not intending for him to hear.

 

Observing his face, she suppresses the urge to chuckle, Kwang Soo still has the lipstick stain on his cheek. She never thought she'd find this giant of a man this adorable. A sense of pride envelops her as the mere thought of being his girlfriend crosses her mind. They are busy people and getting to enjoy each other's company like the way average people would is a feat in itself. Staring at him longer, she thought, waking up with him in her bed is something she would always cherish, something she'd always want. With both of them snuggly wrapped in a soft blanket, the sun starts to rise. The subtle golden hue from the sun, gently shining on his face. This is quite possibly the single moment she would remember when she's old and grey, Ji Hyo waking up in Kwang Soo's arms, nothing else. Captivated by the way the sunlight kisses his face, she couldn't help but to touch him. Her fingertips unconsciously brushing against his eyelashes, as if she was counting them. How pretty. Witholding the want to caress his hair, she stills her hand. She didn't want to wake him. When out of no where, Kwang Soo speaks, his eyes still closed.

 

"Why did you stop?" He asks, his voice deeper than usual. For some reason, th

I should really edit the earlier chapters, shouldn't I? Every time I read them, I can't help but think that I need to edit them to make the flow of the words better, especially for the new readers. I'd hate it if they stop reading half-way through because the first few chapters are iffy. Lol

Chapter 58: "And though it was spring again, the bed didn't feel as warm as she thought it would be." I like how this sentence perfectly encapsulates how she really feels.

Didn't realize I'm already at the end of the story! I will wait for updates ^^ Fighting!

Chapter 56: It's like the World of the Married! I feel so sad for both of them. I feel like it's all just a misunderstanding. Kwang Soo couldn't possibly.. :(

Chapter 58: I guess Dong Wook was there to pick up the pieces after the dissolution of the marriage.

I really enjoyed the way you wrote about Ji Hyo waking up to the sight of a sleeping Dong Wook. It invoked a sense of warmth in the scene's sweetness, and I can feel Ji Hyo's affection for him. Yet, reading further, one gets the impression that Dong Wook is nothing but a replacement. A rebound love. And I find that somewhat sad, and I feel myself pitying the man and rooting for him. NOOooo! LOL.

But I digress. I think deep inside Ji Hyo knows this. Knows that she is treating him as a replacement and is trying to compensate for it. She definitely is trying to convince herself about the rice. To me, the bibimbap scene is an analogy of their relationship. She wants Dong Wook's bibimbap to be like Kwang Soo's. She wants it to be good, she convinces herself it is as good. She wants Dong Wook to be like Kwang Soo. She wants their love to be the same as what she had with Kwang Soo. I found that tragic and heartbreaking.

The last paragraph infuriates me though. I would never answer a loved one's question on whether I loved her by giving her another question, even if her previous statement about meeting her ex surprises me.

"What kind of question is that?" Yeah, Dong Wook. I could ask you the same. It comes from a woman who is insecure, and wants reassurance. An answer like that says a lot about a man. He isn't confident enough in his love for her.

Darn it, I am confused again. And that's a testament on your writing skills! Good job!

Chapter 57: Why? Why? Why? This is very sad! I feel that there is still love between them but because of that misunderstanding.........
I just want them to resolve the misunderstanding all this time.

Can they still be together again? And I want them to get back together!

Chapter 57: Damn! I'm crying yet again! How ironic how life is! Once the person you thought you couldn't live without had suddenly become more than a stranger and that hurts! Aigoo!
