After the wedding, late at night, in their own home, Dae Young and Myeong Joo was lying on their bed after a sizzling hot session.

They both calmed down now and she was lying on his chest and his fingers were gently running through her hair. Then he called, "Myeong Joo!"

She was still in bliss. After a moment she murmured," Hmm?" He spoke,"Why don't you even listen to me when you're angry?"

She huffed and nuzzled up against Dae Young more,"Like you ever given me a chance to explain!"

"Did you ever hear me when you were running away? Then why should I?"

He accepted his defeat. Let me tell you something today." Do you know why I joined the army?"

She shifts,"Yes. You wanted to get rid of your bad gang." " Yeah, that's true. But the reason I really left the gang and joined the army is because I wanted to belong." 

After a pause he continued,"After being an orphan, there was no one to whom I belonged. I was by myself. I enjoyed that but then life was getting tough. I felt like I wanted to belong, be a part of something. To be something, to be valuable to someone. The army was the best option for that and I joined. "

Myeong Joo didn't know that. She never asked him about his past because she knew that was a sore subject for him. She kept quiet about his past.

Hearing him saying his wish to belong made her get up, pull herself towards the headboard and hold his face in her hands to make him rest against her chest.

Dae Young can hear Myeong Joo's heartbeat now. He enjoyed the riddom of the heart and continued.

"Then my ex-girlfriend came into my life.," He felt her getting stiff for a second. Soon she relaxed and looked at him nervously to see if he had caught her. He smiles at her. "My ex has come and I loved her. I thought she'd be there for me. I will belong to her."

"But you know rest of that. Then suddenly an angel appeared in my life. That angel made my life completely different. Even though I knew she was way out of my league, but everything about her surprised me, amazed me."

She was lovingly her fingers on his chest. He started again, "I thought I should control myself to save myself from the heartache once again. But I couldn't. How could I? Those evenings spent with her on our 'fake dates' were the most precious times. Though all I've seen was her complaining about 'the rumors' and being agitated with me. Still, I couldn't take my eyes off her, couldn't stop listening to her complaining. She was so cute when she got angry."

Myeong Joo's smile reached to her ears now.

"Then one day she accepted me. I was so happy! After joining the army, I waited for challenges only. But this time I waited to meet her. Of course, we both had busy schedules, we were not able to meet a lot. Still, I eagerly waited for those dates. She was happy with me. I didn't know what she saw in me. She filled my life, but she still complained about me being stoic and not so interested in physical activities."

"But what else I could do? All I had to offer her was myself and my honesty, my loyalty. But that I gave to my ex-girlfriend too. She threw them away so easily. So I needed to be a bit skeptical."

"Then her father ordered me to step down from her. And I had no choice. At first, I thought she'd forget me eventually. It'll be hard for both of us, but it's for the best. She deserves someone better with her pure heart. I was her subordinate, a lower class of man, still she never once looked down upon me. She should be with someone equal."

Myeong Joo opened , "They were equal. Even then, even now."

 He smiled at her and continued,"I couldn't find a valid reason that she would believe to break up with her. So I just started running away."

"Every time we met after that, I could see her breaking down for me. I could see she was hurting so badly and I caused that. I didn't even feel peace for a second in that time. Then I realized how much I had started to love her. But I kept away. I didn't realize that she was a fighter. She fought for me and made me go back to her. To divert my mind, I went on a date with a stewardess. But it's all in a vein. My angel has captured my heart fully. I tried to stay away but failed terribly."

" I tried not to get too attached to her, I tried going on a date to forget her, I tried running away, I tried building a wall between us. But that amazing lady destroyed all those things and captured me completely. Then I realized I belong to her." 

" That amazing lady is you. I belong to you. I need you to know that. I will forever belong to you. 

"I love you," she told him with fire blazing in her eyes and kissed him passionately.
