Eunbi hadn’t been sleeping at all. Her thought kept on coming back to what Minju had just said. Sakura has a girlfriend and apparently, he loves her so much. Should she ask him about it? Nevertheless, they could at least be honest with each other. But she made a promise to the guy that she wouldn’t come in between his private life.

 

“Maybe I should have a talk with Sakura?”

 

She sighed. Would he talk about it? Eunbi had no idea at all. Last night, Sakura sneaked out of the house at midnight. She felt him tip toed out of her room and didn’t come back even after 2 am. Maybe he was with her. Thinking about it made her feel guilty. Yunjin didn’t deserve any of this heartache. Especially losing Sakura.

 

“Ms. Kwon?”

 

Eunbi heard a maid call her name from outside her room.

 

“Yes?”

 

“Master Miyawaki asked me to help you out with anything.”

 

Eunbi slowly stood up and walked towards her door slightly opening it. She gave a small smile at the maid before politely dismissed her.

 

“I’m fine. I’ll be down in a minute.”

 

“But Ms. Kwon…”

 

“It’s okay. I’ll tell Uncle Hodong that I can handle things myself. You can go and do your own work. Thank you.”

 

Through her face expression, Eunbi knew the maid was reluctant to, but she gave an assuring look to her telling her it was fine to go. So, the maid took her leave. Eunbi slowly closed back the door and marched towards her bed. She climbed on and laid down staring at the ceiling of her room. She closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt nauseous again. She quickly ran towards her bathroom and threw up in the sink. She thought she had cured from morning sickness, but it seemed she’s not. She couldn’t help but felt was in pain cause of vomiting too much. She was about to throw up again when she felt a hand on her back gently run along her back. It was Sakura.

 

“You throw up again?”

 

She tiredly nodded but then another vomiting session. Sakura gently caressed her back hoping she would be better. Eunbi threw up one last time and opened the faucet letting the water run. She rinsed . Sakura grabbed onto one of the small towels and gave it to Eunbi once she’s done. Looking at a pale Eunbi, Sakura couldn’t help but frowned. She didn’t throw up at all yesterday but how come she started having another morning sickness? Sakura held Eunbi in his arm and wrapped his right arm around her shoulder pulling her closer to him. She leaned her face on his chest and let Sakura drag her back to bed. He handled her with care and gently laid her down the bed. Eunbi closed her eyes. Sakura sat down on the edge of bed next to Eunbi.

 

“Maybe we should go to the clinic, Eunbi. Let the doctors examine you.”

 

She shook her head, didn’t agree with the plan. Sakura made sure he stayed closer to her. He held her hand and pulled Eunbi towards him with his back on the headboard. Eunbi snuggled against him. Sakura watched as Eunbi got comfortable. He smiled.

 

“Feeling okay now?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Want to throw up again?”

 

“No.”

 

“Sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up after 30 minutes.”

 

Eunbi nodded. His caress soothed her. It made her sleepier than before. She smiled when she felt Sakura hum a song. She had no idea what song it was, but it made her calm down.

 

“Sakura?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Who’s Yunjin?”

 

Eunbi felt him tense beside her. She was afraid she had touched on a sensitive topic, so she refused to see his reaction. Sakura on the other hand didn’t know Eunbi would have known about Yujin. He was too shocked to react. Eunbi slowly fluttering her eyes open and saw Sakura stare back at her.

 

“I-I’m sorry, Kkura if it is a sensitive topic.”

 

His expression softened. He couldn’t lie for so long. It was not right to lie to the person you’re going to marry soon.

 

“No, it’s okay. I should have explained things to you. She’s… my girlfriend. We’ve been together for 2 years. You also know her. She’s Huh Kyung Hwan’s daughter.”

 

“When do you plan to tell me?”

 

Did he hear a sad tone from her? Shaking the thoughts away, Sakura continued on talking.

 

“I don’t know. Maybe after a few days?”

 

Eunbi gently untangled his arm around her body and distanced herself. Sakura let her go but kept his eyes on her.

 

“Kkura, I know this is hard for you. I told you I would have respect any decision from you. So please, if there’s anything else that I need to know, now would be the best time to tell me.”

 

Eunbi wasn’t joking around when she said she would respect his decision. She was trying her best for him as what he was like to her.

 

“We didn’t break up and I… I promise her that I will marry her.”

 

He saw her closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled slowly. He had no idea how she would react. Would she be mad at him? He just has to wait. Eunbi fluttered her eyes open and stared at the guy.

 

“Kkura, you don’t have to do any of this. I can ask my dad to stop…”

 

Eunbi couldn’t continue when she felt Sakura had come near to her and placed his forefinger on her lips successfully silencing her. They looked at each other as if the silence at the moment felt right.

 

“I’m not going to repeat myself and I don’t want to hear about this now. We will talk again when you give birth to your baby. Are we clear?”

 

Then he smiled. Those warm smiles he always gave her. She slowly nodded. Sakura got out of bed and held his hand for her to take.

 

“You’re feeling okay now, right? Let’s get something to eat. Then we have to buy some stuffs for our wedding.”

 

Eunbi took his hand and stood up following him. She looked down at their intertwined hands and back up again and looked at his broad back view. She was lucky to have him. Just in a few days, Sakura made her felt safe and secured around him. Having a stranger caring towards her like this felt new to Eunbi. It would be hard not to fall for him.

 

‘Why are you nice, Kkura?’

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Where are we going to?”

 

Eunbi watched as Sakura drove his car.

 

“We’re heading to my office first. I need to clear some cheques.”

 

“Uncle told me that you had applied for your leaves?”

 

Sakura grinned and took a peek at Eunbi.

 

“But I still have to clear some important cheques, Eunbi.”

 

Eunbi answered with a hum and turned around looking at the scenery outside. It was silent again. Sakura the radio and randomly chose a station. Thankfully some good music was played along their journey to his office. He stopped his car in front of the main entrance. He turned around and faced her.

 

“I’m going up. Do you want to wait here or tag along?”

 

“Can I stay around the lounge?”

 

He smiled.

 

“Sure.”

 

Both Sakura and Eunbi got out of the car. Sakura waited for Eunbi and held her hand completely oblivious the shade pink that appeared on the shy girl’s face. She didn’t expect him to hold her hand in public, especially when their family hadn’t made any official announcement yet. They walked inside and Eunbi could feel people were staring at them. It seemed Sakura realized it too since she felt he gave a little squeeze on their intertwine hands. He looked towards the reception area and signaled one of the receptionists to come. His worker quickly made way towards them.

 

“Yes, Mr. Miyawaki?”

 

“Make sure Ms. Kwon is comfortable when I’m going to my office.”

 

He then turned around facing Eunbi.

 

“I won’t be long.”

 

“Take your time. I’ll be fine.”

 

He nodded his head and walked towards the main elevator leaving Eunbi with his receptionist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hyein told me you’re here.”

 

“Morning, Minju.”

 

Minju took the seat in front of Sakura’s desk. She looked around. It didn’t go unnoticed by Sakura.

 

“Who are you looking for?”

 

“Your soon-to-be-wife?”

 

Sakura looked up and raised an eyebrow.

 

“How did…”

 

“How did I know? Kwon Eunbi is my best friend, Kkura.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. I finished high school in LA, remember?”

 

Sakura chuckled. How could he have forgotten? Minju is currently his personal assistant. She finished college for a three-year degree in only a year. She’s ambitious.
