-Chaerin’s POV-

“So, how’s your Appa?” Dara Unnie asks seriously. We are sitting at a coffee shop now, waiting for our order

“Still the same…” I answer sadly. Appa really kicked me out since the last three weeks. He doesn’t answer my call, doesn’t want to meet me, he even didn’t see me when I came home last week. He is really mad at me. And during 24 years of my existence, this is the worst

“And Jiyong?”

“He is ok. He can get along with Omma” I smile lightly. Yeah, at least Omma can accept him. And I wish, one day Appa will accept him too…

“It’s good then…” Dara Unnie smiles widely. Aah…, this Unnie is really beautiful, inside and outside. No wonder Bae Oppa is madly in love with her even though she is view years older than him. She is already pretty, but today… I don’t know, I think she is glowing?

“Unnie, you told me that you have good news. What is that?” I remember what she said before we went here. Hearing my question, her face suddenly blushed

“Oh…, that one…” she looks nervous

“Aigoo, Unnie…. Just tell me already. I need your good news, since I have to face very bad thing these days lately… your good news will light up my life…” I make a puppy face on her and she chuckles by my childish action

“Omo!! You don’t have to make that puppy face, of course I’ll tell you” she laughs

“Then tell me…” I smile and bring all my focus to her

“Chae…, I’m… well, Bae had proposed me last night…”

My eyes get widen. I look at her and see her sparkling eyes

“Omo!!! Unnie… is that true?? Aigoo…, congratulation Unnie…, I’m so happy to hear that!!” I squeals happily and hugs her instantly

“Aigoo…, be careful Chae!!  I can get miscarriage if you keep shake me” she slaps my arms lightly as I’m frozen. I look at her and now she smiles blissfully

“Bwo???!!! Unnie!! Are you…” I can’t finish my question as I already have the answer by her nods

“Yes, Chae-ah…, I’m on my 8th weeks now…” she speaks with her glowing aura

“Unnie… congratulation again… I really happy, very happy for you and Bae Oppa” I hug her again “Did Bae Oppa know about your pregnancy?” I ask

“Yes, last night I told him after he proposed me” she smiles widely “He was squealing like crazy. His reaction was way scarier than yours” she giggles

“Aigoo.., Unnie… of course he is beyond happy. He is going to be a father…” I giggle with her “So, when will you get married?”

“Soon. We will go to my parent’s house in Bussan tomorrow. Since my parents already knew, we just go to plan the wedding with them. And since we don’t want such a big wedding party, maybe we will get married during this week”

“Awww…, Unnie…. You’re really lucky. Bae Oppa is lucky too. You both lucky to have each other…” I can’t stop smiling

“And I wish you and Jiyong will follow us soon…” she smiles

“Oh…, I think it will take a long time…” I smile bitterly. Yeah, even though Jiyong Oppa and I want to get married, Appa won’t let it happen

“What makes you unsure? Jiyong, or your Appa?” seems like Dara Unnie knows what’s on my head

“Both…”

“I understand about your Appa. But Jiyong? What’s make you doubting him?”

“No.., it’s not like that Unnie… just, it’s too early for Jiyong Oppa and I to talk about marriage. We just know each other for less than a year” I reasoning

“What are you waiting for? Ok, it’s true that Jiyong and you know each other just view months ago. But, c’mon…, you’ve know each other in and out! As IN and OUT!” she smirks naughtily and I blushed instantly, knowing what she means by IN and OUT. Aigoo, ert Unnie…..

“Just let it flow, Unnie… I don’t want to rush him” I smile and take a spoon of my strawberry ice cream

Tonight, I will spend my time at Jiyong’s place. Since its weekend and we barely meet each other during this week, we decide to spend our time just by cuddling at his place. I really miss him…

Ok, the dinner is ready. I set the meals on the dining table. But where’s Jiyong Oppa? It’s 7 already and he still somewhere out there?  He doesn’t even call me. Positive thinking Chaerin….. Maybe he is driving now, so he can’t make a call.

I walk back to the kitchen and my heart still worrying him. Somehow, I’m really afraid that he would leave me. God…, I’veneverbe this clingy before. Sometimes I really hate myself for being this paranoid

I grip my hand on the counter, searching for support. Just thinking about him leaving is enough to drain my energy. And stupidly, I start to cry for no specific reason now. I don’t know, but I sense a change on him lately. It was like he intentionally avoiding me. Was it true? Or it was just my paranoid mind?

I don’t know! What I know for sure is I really love him, and I don’t want to lose him.

My tears still flows, and my body start to trembling. I look down and let my tears dripping to the counter when suddenly a pair of arms wraps my body from behind. And I know exactly whom these arms belong to. Without waiting any longer, I turn around and wrap my arm around his waist and burry my face on his chest

“Hey…, what’s happen?” he asks worriedly. I just shake my head, still on his chest

“Chae, baby…, why are you crying?”  He kisses my forehead while brushing my hair, then my back

“Nothing, Oppa… I just missing you so much” I sob. I feel his hand on my chin, lifting it up to face him. Our eyes are locked, we don’t need any words to be spoken as our eyes already shows everything. He is leaning down, brings his lips to mine. And again, I feel the difference on his kiss. He kisses me rather desperately

“Op-pa…” I moan as we pulled out for breathing. Then without say anything, he lifts my body, carrying me to the counter, makes me sit there and starts to kiss me roughly. His hands are roaming on my body as his lips keep abusing mine.

“Op-pa.., w-what’s w-wrong… aah…” his kisses are going wild, not only in my lips, but also my neck and collarbone. I know exactly, there’s must be something wrong on him. He keeps kiss me, ignoring my questions or my shivering body

“Oppa.., please…” I plea, push his body with all of my strength and finally he releases me, staring at me while catching his breath. I can see the desperation in his eyes.

“I’m sorry, Chae…” He whispers, and his voice is shaking. I extend my hand and reach his face, pulling him closer

“Oppa…, tell me. What’s bothering you?” I caress his cheeks with my palms, looking deep into his eyes. He looks at me back, leaning closer and press his forehead on mine

“I love you. No matter what will happen between us, just remember that I love you” he whispers and closes his eyes. My heart fluttering as I heard his love statement. And somehow, the fear in my heart just getting stronger

“I love you too, Oppa… and always remember that…” I close the gap between us, plant my lips on him softly. He kisses me back. This time, he kisses me tenderly, the way I love

I circle my arms on his neck, caressing the back of his head while our tongue battling. And his hands are roaming my back, now lifting my body without breaking the kiss. I lock my legs around his waist and he starts to walk us to our favorite place: his bed, ignoring the food that was served on the dining table.
