The airport was abit crowded today but finally the young man managed to load all his lugguage into the trolley and proceed to exit. Through his tinted sunglasses he could see the females gushing and blushing as he passed by them. He smirked to himself—he was used to this. Throughout his life it has been this way girls have always drooled over him. But unfortunately for them he is already taken—taken by the girl he thought he would never fall for; the girl who initially he loathed; the girl who was totally oblivious to his feeling.

Just as he stepped out of the Seoul airport, his phone rang.

“De Dong Sun-nim…de I’m here” Jihoo said

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Where are we going?” Somin asked innocently

“We are going to our vineyard” Hyunjoong said

“OUR VINEYARD?” Somin asked quizzically. Hyunjoong nodded nonchalantly. “By ‘our vineyard’ you don’t possibly mean you own the vineyard right?” she asked smiling nervously

“Yep I indeed mean that” Hyunjoong stated matter-of-factly

Somin’s lips formed an ‘O’ and she slouched back in her seat in disbelief. Young Joong laughed at her reaction but was surprised at the same time “You didn’t know about all this?” he asked

“I had absolutely no clue! He’s so rich I feel as if he’s Goliath and I am poor little David!” Somin sighed.

“Yah! You mean to say I am a monster?!” Hyunjoong flared up at the accusation and their sweet bickering began. As the two faught the Kim family watched the couple. Somin’s reaction was a definite surprise for them. All the female associates of Hyunjoong they have come across had a very evident artificial layer to them—very few were genuine and they were glad that Somin turned out to be pure.

When they reached the vineyard the rest of the family instantly engaged themselves in the maintenance chores. Hyunjoong’s mother explained to Somin the method to detect the good grapes and they both picked grapes. Time to time,Hyunjoong’s mother told her his childhood stories which Somin found both entertaining and engrossing.

“MOM! HYEONGSONIM!”

Both of them turned to find Young Joong waving at them

“Coming!” Hyunjoong’s mom responded and they walked over to two huge almost man-sized buckets where the men were waiting for them.

“What’s that?” Somin asked pointing to the big wooden buckets.

“Its for crushing the grapes” Hyunjoong’s mom informed as she poured her basket of grapes into the bucket followed by Somin’s.

“We’ll show you” Young Joong enthusiastically cried as he saw Somin’s puzzled look “Come bro!” he waved at Hyunjoong. He and Hyunjoong entered into one of the big bucket while their parents stepped into the other. The two teams looked at each other when they were ready and happily cried “Hana tul seth” and the four of them started jumping into the basket crushing the grapes with their feet. Somin laughed as she saw the Kim family hopping and the grape juice spilling out. After a while Young Joong stopped “Somin come on in” he waved her to join and stepped out himself. Somin walked hesitantly and the two brothers helped her get into the bucket. Somin looked over but found Young Joong getting into his parent’s bucket.

“Shall we?” Hyunjoong smiled at her and forwarded his hand

“umm..”Somin looked at his inviting palm doubtfully “I dunno if I can do it and I don’t want to ruin any of the grapes”

“C’mon you wont ruin anything and this” Hyunjoong waved his hand around the bucket of grapes at their feet”is no rocket science…you just have to jump” he said shrugging his shoulders

“Okay” Somin nodded nervously and took his hand

“Hana…tul…seth” and the couple jumped. Soon Somin got into the groove and they were both jumping merrily.

“Is that enough?” Somin said panting after their ’jump’ marathon.  Hyunjoong bent down to inspect the grapes while Somin sat at the brim of the bucket.

“It’s fine” Hyunjoong beamed at her.

Somin looked sideways to see how the rest of the Kim family was doing but there was none around. “Where did they go?” she asked in surprise

“Very subtly,giving us the opportunity to enjoy our first sunset together,I suppose” Hyunjoong smirked joining her

Somin turned to the sky and saw the orange horizon and the setting sun just at the middle of it.” The sky is so pretty” Somin said in admiration. She turned to find Hyunjoong gazing at her intently.

Hyunjoong puts his hand behind her neck, slowly move close, and finally capture her lips, giving passionate kisses on her lips. Caressing and smooching.

She feels like she was completely surrounded by him, all she can feel is him, and him alone.

His warm breath brushes on her face, his intimate caresses, his fervent kisses bring tingling from her lips to her entirely, she is losing her strength little by little, all she could do is to lean on him and huddle against him.

“I love you” Hyunjoong whispered

DING DONG

Dong Sun rose from his couch and opened the door to find Jihoo standing outside

“Anneoyong haseyo” he smiled

“Ah! Jihoo-ah” Dong Sun embraced him and patted his back

“Jihoo!” Jessica cried coming out of the kitchen. Jihoo smilingly hugged her as well. “What’s this! You have grown so slim! Didn’t you eat properly?”

“Ah..unnie…the food didn’t suit me at all…they are just so heavy eaters! They eat up a whole cow whereas I cant even eat a leg!” Jihoo chuckled

“Don’t worry I’ll prepare some pumpkin porridge for you”

“Ani ani unnie…I have to rush..have to catch up with Haera” Jihoo’s face turned grim at the mention of his sister. He looked up hesitantly “is she still the same?”

Dong Sun and Jessica looked at each other with a look that Jihoo couldn’t decipher

“Umm…”Jessica began “why don’t you check it out for yourself…you’re her brother…you’ll understand best”

“She’s the same right?” Jihoo sighed.Dong Sun and Jessica looked at each other again and this time Jihoo caught the smirk they exchanged. “Wae?” he asked with a confused look.

“You should see for yourself” Dong Sun smiled and patted his shoulder.

“Okay” Jihoo said suspiciously and shook his head. “Hows the public response?”

“Just the way we want it. None likes it!” Jessica smiled as she announced the good news. They have been thoroughly navigating the forums and the audience is very much pissed off

“Great” Jihoo nodded approvingly and turned to the clock “Oh!” he cried

“What?” Dong Sun and Jessica asked

“I was planning to go to Somin’s…but I guess it’s too late…” he sighed. “How’s she doing by the way? Haven’t heard from her much since the drama controversy started” he asked innocently

Dong Sun and Jessica looked apprehensively towards each other

“Somin is—“Dong Sun began but Jessica interrupted him

“Somin’s doing great!” Jessica said. Dong Sun gave her a questioning look but she eyed him to keep quiet

“Man! I really wanna meet her, tell her all I have to say….” Jihoo smiled thoughtfully. Jessica looked sadly at him. “I guess I have to wait for one more day!” he exclaimed happily “bye guys..” he waved and left

After his departure,Dong Sun shut the door and turned to jessica “why didn’t you tell him”

“Dongie…its better he faces the situation himself” Jessica said “I just pray he can bear it” she said thoughtfully
