A woman arrives at the restaurant, where a maitre d’ awaits by its entrance. She handed him the invitation she received earlier which came with a bouquet of roses.

“Follow me, please”

And she was guided inside the dimmed interior of the restaurant. A violin starts to play on the side. They stopped at the center, where a table was set for a candle light dinner for two. She sat down on the chair the maitre d’ pulled out for her.

“Thank you” She said, before the maitre d’ bowed and left.

Right after the maitre d’ left,, a bouquet of flowers materialized at her side, turning around, she smiles at the person holding it

“Did you like my surprise?”

“If this is your way of saying sorry with what happened the other day, then yes, I forgive you.” She answered before lifting her face up for a kiss

Seunghyun pulled away from the kiss as it starts to deepen, cupping her face “Let’s continue this later”

He then walked over to the other chair and settled himself. Reaching across the table, he took hold of her hand. But the moment the waiter returned and started serving their food., she pried her hand loose from his hold. Seunghyun raised an eyebrow.

“Honey, I couldn’t well eat with just one hand, can I?” She said with a pout. Letting out a deep sigh, Seunghyun reluctantly released her hand.

The dinner went on smoothly. 

“Let’s have some dessert”

“I can’t. You know I have some modeling projects back in Japan. And I might lose them if I gain pounds”

“So? We ‘ll share.”

“But you have to eat most of it. I’ll only take 1 bite”

Seunghyun was glad that he was able to convince her to have dessert. He raised his hand to signal for the dessert to be served. When the waiter removed the cover, he couldn’t help but smile when he heard her gasp .

“Honey….Is this?”

“Will you marry me?”

“Of course I’d marry you!”

 

~oOo~
 

Much later, they were kissing each other as they entered through the doors of the bedroom. Their hands, busy in removing the clothes from each other’s bodies. Not long after moans fill the air.

“I love you, Kiko”

“I know”

And they fell asleep in each other’s arms.



 

~oOo~

Sunlight starts to pass through the light curtains. Bom opens her eyes and a smile begins to appear on her face the moment her gaze landed on a modest looking ring on her left hand.


Standing up, she went towards the bathroom. She was surprised at her own reflection. The woman she’s staring directly at looks positively glowing! There was a certain sparkle in her eyes, which could rival the sparkle the diamond on her left hand.  Her cheeks were slightly flushed. Her lips curved into a smile that she couldn’t seem to erase.




Later in the kitchen, Bom began preparing breakfast for herself and her cousin, Dara. She ‘s an orphan. She has been living with Dara from the time she lost both her parents at the age of 10. Dara is two years younger than her. And ever since then, they were as close as any sisters could’ve been.

Bom was humming a song, while cooking. She suddenly giggled as she recalls last night events, the same moment when Dara came inside the kitchen.

“Someone’s a little miss sunshine. Morning, unnie”

“Morning Dara-ah”

Bom kept humming and giggling the whole time. Even until when they were eating breakfast, she kept on giggling. Bom failed to notice the weird glances that Dara is shooting her way. 

“Did you have last night, unnie?” Dara asked the only thing that popped into her head.

Bom, raised her head and turned beet red at Dara’s question “Yah! We’ve not yet done that. Not all couples are rabbits like you and Jiyong”

“Then why are you so happy? You kept on giggling the whole time and you look different. You’re glowing like someone who had just had ”

Instead of answering Dara, she raised her left hand. Bom saw Dara’s eyes zooming in on the ring on her finger, before she let out a squeal of delight. Dara stood up and went to Bom’s side to hug her tightly.

“I’m so happy for you unnie. Congratulations!”

“Thank you, Dara-ah. Promise me you’ll be my maid of honor, arasso?”

“Of course, I’’ll be more than glad to be your maid of honor. I would’ve bug you if you didn’t askedme. Young Bae oppa’s real lucky to have you”

“I’m lucky to have him as well”

Dara suddenly pulled back from their embrace and looks on earnestly at Bom., that the latter couldn’t helo but ask “What?”

“Unnie, you still haven’t done the deed with Young Bae oppa?”

Bom playfully hit Dara at the shoulders,”Yah, Young Bae’s not like your Jiyong who couldn’t stop himself”

“Yeah, I think you have a point there unnie. Jiyong is just a maniac. Or I’m just simply irresistible”

Both girls were laughing in no time.

ONE MONTH AFTER



The invitations were all sent out . Everything is set for a wedding ten days from today. Everything, except the bride. His fiancée who went missing,, with only a few days to spare from their set wedding date. 

Kiko left with just a letter saying that she’ll try to come back after the last project she’s taking as a model. A project that could boost her career into supermodel status. He couldn’t deny her that. He even agreed to let the wedding be as secretive as possible. The identity of the bride is still a mystery save for the designer of the gown Kiko will wear on their wedding.

Seunghyun stood by the window, a phone in his hand, as he tried once again, to contact his missing bride. His parents have flown back, cutting short the vacation they long had planned.

His mother had already shown her dislike towards Kiko. He can’t have the two most important women In his life hate each other. Seunghyun then remembered that his mother would drop by today. He stopped trying to call and walked towards the door. Poking his head out, he sees his secretary busy working on her table.

“Bom?”

“Yes, Mr. Choi?”

“My mom will drop by later, just let her in”

“Sure, Mr Choi” Bom saw him not move from the door “Is there anything else?”

“Yes. How many times have I told you to stop calling me Mr. Choi?” Seunghyun walks over to her table 

Bom blushed “You’re my boss”

“And we’ve became friends for more than a year ever since I took over the company. Unless you don’t really want to be friends with me?”

“N-no…You’re a good friend to have, Mr. err~ Seunghyun” Bom’s blush deepens

“There. It’s not that difficult right?” 

Bom couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him “Whatever, Seunghyun”

They started laughing. It was that scene that Mrs. Choi saw. A smile crept up on her lips 

“Well, well. What do we have here? Are you two skipping work?”

“Good Morning Mrs. Choi” Bom greeted the matriarch with a smile

Seunghyun strode over to where his mom is, and gave her a kiss on the cheeks

"Omma!”

“Yah! Are you corrupting your angelic secretary?”


Bom giggled at the notion. She tried to suppress the sound by covering with her left hand. It was then that Mrs. Choi’s eyes zoomed in on the ring that adorned her finger. 

“I didn’t know you were engaged, dear”

Bom blushes at the question”I’ve been engaged for just a month, Mrs. Choi”

She’s engaged? How come I didn’t notice her wear that ring before? Oh yeah, I was busy planning my own wedding. A wedding that looks like it’s not going to happen. Not without a bride.

“So tell me dear, who’s the lucky guy?”

Bom discreetly looked over at Seunghyun, her eyes were asking for help. Seunghyun knows how nosy his mom can be, and how much a private person Bom is. He provided the distraction.

“Omma, why don’t we go inside and discuss my upcoming wedding?”

“Speaking of weddings, why act so secretive about it?”

“Let’s talk about it inside my office” Seunghyun guided his mother inside his office. He saw Bom mouthed a silent “thank you” in his direction. 

~oOo~

It was already well in the afternoon. Seunghyun is busy perusing the reports on his desk when he heard a noise just outside his door. He quickly stood up from his seat and went to check it out. Opening the door, he sees Bom looking distressed, tears flowing down her face, the phone’s handset dangling off her table.


“Bom? Is everything ok?”

“Seunghyun…I-I need to…go…. I need to… go the…. the...hospital” Bom was shaking as she starts to pick her things up and stuff them inside her bag.

“Wait for me here” Seunghyun ran back in his office, grab his coat and keys

“Come on, I’ll drive you there” he said the moment he returned

Bom took in a deep breath to collect her thoughts, before replying“No. I can go there myself”

“Bom, don’t argue with me. You’re in a bad state right now. Besides, taking you to the hospital in my car would be faster”

“Ok.”

 

~oOo~
 

Throughout the drive, Bom kept fidgeting in her seat as quiet tears stream. Seunghyun reached over and grasp her hands, giving it a light squeeze. Bom smiles at the small gesture.
The instant they arrived at the hospital, Bom went hurriedly inside. Seunghyun followed soon. 

He saw Bom crying hard as she sits on a chair beside a bed where a man lay unconscious and various machines were strapped on his body. She was holding on to one of his hands.

“Bae…It’s me… Please wake up...Please…I love you”

 

~oOo~
 

The doctor came in and talk to Bom. Seunghyun heard everything. Bom’s fiancé is in a critical condition. He saw the stricken look on Bom’s face upon hearing the cost the medical fees they need to sustain a life.




“If you tell me your fiancée is Bom, then I’ll be more than happy to accept her into our family, Seunghyun. I never liked the model you were dating”


Seunghyun shook his head, as if ridding himself of such a thought.

“So who’s the lucky guy?”


My wedding date is in 10 days. I have no bride.


Seunghyun stared down at a defeated looking Bom. Running his fingers through his hair as thoughts run through his head. Even before he could stop, he heard himself say out aloud.


“Bom, I’ll help you with the medical bills. But I also need your help”


He saw Bom’s face light up. Hope in her eyes.

“I’ll do anything for Bae”

“Anything?”


I might regret this later on. But why stop when the cat is already out of the bag?

“Marry me.”
