“Mian-hae, Ji Wook, we didn’t have our snacks until now,” I say as we walk over to the blankets.

“Gwenchana, noona.  We had a lot of fun!” he says with a cute smile.

We all sit down on the blanket.

 I sit down on the farthest blanket.  Thinking that the farther I am, the less possibility I would be around Kim Hyun Joong.

 He, however, decides to get up from where he initially sat and sit right next to me.  He catches me by surprise.

“Pass me a water bottle, please,” he says.

I oblige instinctively.

He takes a drink before speaking to me again.  “You know I am not mad at you for leaving me.  I mean, I was upset when I woke up but then Ha Ha explained to me how you must be feeling.  It’s been a long time since we have seen each other and maybe I did come at you a little too strongly,” he says as he gently caresses my cheek.

I say nothing but shake my head and look down.  I can feel my face turning red.

“I will work hard for you.  Now that we are together, I will work even harder,” he promises.  “Will you let me, Mor Ri? Will you let me love you?” he asks.

I look at him. Shocked. Unable to speak. “I…I…” I stutter.

He smiles at me. “It’s okay.  That is a good enough response for me.  It only means I have to work even harder.” He gently grabs my hand and stands up.  “Hey kids! Me and your Mor Ri noona will be going now,” he says as he helps me up. 

I stare at him. 

“Yeh!! Bye Mor Ri noona!” everyone says as they wave. 

Toa Ha Ha and Tim Lee Lo also wave.

We start walking towards the boardwalk. 

“Where are we going?” I ask as I blush like crazy.  I look at our hands, intertwined as we walk, and begin to blush even more.

“Hmm I don’t know. Anywhere we can have some fun,” he says as he smiles at me.

As we make it to the boardwalk, however, we are interrupted by someone saying my name.

“Ah Mor Ri?” I hear.

I look up. It’s Jung Yong Hwa and Vivi.

“OMO! I told Yong Hwa oppa that we shouldn’t have come.  He insisted that we should come to bring you back home,” Vivi explains.

 Jung Yong Hwa finally snaps out of his state of shock and walks towards us.  He firmly grabs my free hand and forcefully releases my other hand from Kim Hyun Joong’s grasp.  “We are going home,” he says as he pulls me away.
