Funny Couple :)

Because of the unexpected passing of Woo Bin and Hae Jin’s father, the preparation for the wedding slowed and was cut off… three days has passed after the funeral, and everything has started to return to its used phase.

“Yes, Omma… I know… yes, we’ll follow the schedule… take care too…”-Jun Pyo hangs up the phone after his converse with his mother

“Was that mother?”-Jan Di asks as she picks up her purse from the living room table and walks to him

“Yeah… she said although it was such painful to accept that she lost a good friend that does not mean postponing our wedding…”-Jun Pyo says as he meets her half-way

“Araso…”-Jan Di pouts as she grabs a scarf and put it around Jun Pyo’s neck

“Ready?”-Jun Pyo asks as he smiles brightly at her

AFTER 25 MINUTES DRIVE: AT A BOUTIQUE

Jun Pyo held Jan Di’s hand squeezed it with a smile, as he led her inside a private boutique…

 “Good Evening Sir and Miss…”-All the employees bowed and greet them politely as they got inside

“Woah… Otoke…”-Jan Di gasps as she was greeted by an array of beautiful wedding dresses

"All these dresses were ordered from Europe…”-Jun Pyo boasts as he sits at one of the sofa and crosses his legs

“How will I survive spending my life with you, when you always amaze and surprise me?”-Jan Di blurts out as she lands her gaze at her fiancé

“We’ll let’s just start getting you in a wedding dress first…then”-Jun Pyo says as he stares lovingly as his soon to be wife…

All the boutique employees were very polite to help Jan Di pick and give advises at which dresses would fit her or not… some dresses were picked out from the catalogue…

“if there are any dresses you want to try on the catalogue just tell me, I’ll have them delivered it her from the Europe designers tomorrow”-Jun Pyo says confidently

“Woah… chinja? Like immediately?”-Jan Di said mouth gaping

“Anything for my future queen…”-Jun Pyo said which made all the girls in the store smile brightly at the two of them and made Jan Di blush crimson

“Cheesy….” –Jan Di mouthed as she pouts and looks at the photos

Jan Di picked 8 dresses and all of them came from the catalogue…

“Are you serious? 8?”-Jun Pyo wide-eyed as he picks up the photos that his fiancé picked

“Yup! You said to picked the dresses I wanna try so I did! Hehe”-Jan Di smiles brightly as she teases her boyfriend…

“Aish! Araso!... tell the courier…”-Jun Pyo gave the photos to one of his assistants…

“Happy?”-Jun Pyo says as he raises his brow at his fiancé

“Over-rated happy…”-Jan Di smiles as she approached him and lands a chaste kiss at his cheeks

“Thanks…”-Jan Di stares at the blushed Jun Pyo then smirks as she bows to the people who helped her with the dresses then grabs her purse and went outside

The frozen Jun Pyo then realized for a moment what happened blinks his eyes multiple times

“What the… hey! Wait for me!”-Jun Pyo calls out to Jan Di as he runs to follow her to the car

When he got out of the car he found her standing, her back leaning at the car face looking down to her feet… He got worried when she didn’t look at him… he walks slowly toward her…

“What is it? Something wrong?”-Jun Pyo asks slowly, quiet like a whisper to her, Jan Di responded with a slow shake of her head

He reaches for her chin and lifted her head making her look at him… and he saw them glossy eyes, red cheeks and a smile…. He tilted his head in confusion.

“I… I am just happy… thankful that’s all… who would’ve taught the idiot annoying Jun Pyo will be my husband…”-Jan Di says as she smiles full of happiness..

Jun Pyo slowly wipes her tears with his fingers…. Then

“Not in a million years that I would’ve thought you would accept me.. I am such a lucky bastard”-Jun Pyo leans down and kisses her sweetly, after they parted he smiles as he stares at him.

“Now… why don’t we eat?”-He grabs her hand and led her to his car…

Woo Bin’s day started hectic, phone calls from here and there… proposals from left to write, reports to file up and down….

MEANWHILE DOWN THE HALL FROM WOO BIN’S OFFICE…

Hair curled in edges, hot red lipstick with a smile worn by her… her bare long skinny legs being complimented by the body hugging black strapless dress with an open back… giving a full view of her flawless skin, feet clinking with her black leather pumps in the hall… everyone she passes looks at her without even blinking.. She first approaches the counter.

“Hi, my name’s Ha Jae Kyung I came to talk to your boss, is he in?”-She smiles as she winks at the guy behind the reception desk

“Our boss?”-The guy gulps and sweats nervously, suddenly his throat parched

“Uhmm… why, I mean who are you?”-He asked back

“Oh.. how rude of me… please let me introduce myself, I’m his upset girlfriend who got stood up by her amnesia boyfriend… you dig?”-She asks now sarcastically

“I’ll announce your arrival first…”-As the guy was about to pick up the phone, she reaches immediately and puts the phone back.

“No need…”- She walks confidently and instead of knocking or opening the door like any normal person, she braces herself and kicks the door with her heels, karate style!

WOO BIN’S OFFICE

He was rummaging some papers as he presses his fingers to his temple trying to focus and sighs deeply and repeatedly.

As he was about to sit back to his seat while reading some papers, he got utterly surprised from the loud bang of the door forcefully opened by a unlikely goddess… he instantly drop his papers

“Jae Kyung? Can’t you knock? Or open it with your hands?”-Woo Bin asks as he fix his gaze to the furious girl in front of him… if only she was a dragon? You could literally see her nose flaring

“What the hell!? Song Woo Bin?!”-Jae Kyung shouted that even Woo Bin flinched from it

“Woah… calm down…”-Woo Bin

“Calm down? Calm down? You want me to calm down?! No! texting me late saying you can’t come see me coz your busy and all.. I said okay, then you said you can’t meet up again because of work so I said sure… but forgetting our lunch date?! Waiting for almost 3 freaking hours?! That was the last straw!”-Jae Kyung said furious, upset…

“Oh… damn… oh dear…”-Woo Bin realized immediately what he has done and rubbed his forehead

“I.. babe… I”-Woo Bin was about to say when

“Sir! Are you okay? We heard a loud bang and---…”-A group of black suited men went inside his office then they are cut off by the laser cutting eye glares from Jae Kyung…

“Uhmm… its fine, please leave us”-Woo Bin orders his men then they left closing the doors behind them

“Babe I…”-He was about to continue

“No… wait… I fully understand you just lost your father, yeah sure that’s an issue but hey! you think this is what your father would’ve wanted for you? Drowning yourself with work? Trying to carry all? To prove something? No… now I have to set up a freaking appointment just to have a lunch with my boyfriend…”-Jae Kyung blabs and closes her eyes out of frustration…

A short moment of silence was felt in the air…

“I know… i… I just…”-Woo Bin drops the papers to the ground then sits back to the chair

“How can i? How can I fill in his shoes? Everything’s just too much…”-Woo Bin shakes his head in frustration

Jae Kyung moves forward slowly then she was close enough that he could lift his head and see her hovering over him

“Hey… no one expects you to perfect everything in just three days… the shoes that your father left are quiet big to fill in… practice makes perfect…” – Jae Kyung says as he pats his head and scruffles his hair

“Don’t forget your friends are always here to help you on anything…”-She says then Woo Bin stood up from his seat then hugs her tightly, he then leans and kisses her lightly… as their lip parted a bit...

“I hate it when you do that…”-Jae Kyung says as she pouts and glares at him

“What? And why would you hate it?”-Woo Bin says as he holds her waist tightly and pulling her close

“Well… it makes me agree to anything…”-Jae Kyung responds seductively as she wraps her arms around his neck

“Like anything?...”-Woo Bin responded the same like a whisper sliding his hands to her back slowly then dips her, leaning to her as they lips about to touch again a knock form the door distracted to them… then Woo bin pulls her back to stand, and when a girl came in wide-eyed

“Uhmm… Sir… you have a lunch appointment with the director of Ace”-The girl said without blinking

Woo Bin sighs and he saw from the corner of his eyes, Jae Kyung’s expression sullen and sighs…

“You know what cancel my schedule today…”-Woo Bin said in confidence

“What? I’m sorry i…”-The girl said in stutter

“What do you mean?”-Jae Kyung said in surprised

“I’ll be spending the rest of the day with my beautiful girlfriend… thanks Melissa you can leave”-Woo Bin said while putting his arms around Jae Kyung’s waist, and the girl didn’t object and just left then..

“Okay… so where were we?”-Woo Bin said while pulling her suddenly to him and dips her then kisses her…

Sweet Couple :*

Full of drama, that’s the only way you can describe the last few days of our couple’s life is… recently engaged, a death in the family of a good friend of theirs… and thought that anything couldn’t get any worse.

“This is total bad idea…Ga Eul-ah”-Yi Jeong says as he places down the last plate at the table

“Nonsense… Sunbae, it’s about time to talk out your differences… if I’m gonna marry I want to marry with full blessings… besides you agreed already”-Ga Eul responds as she lays down the dishes neatly on the table, she didn’t mind the sighs from her boyfriend then…

(DING DONG)

“Guest has arrive!”-Ga Eul shrieks as she nervously takes off the apron and straighten her hair and dress then signals Yi Jeong to open the door

As Yi Jeong turns the knob, he opens the door and fully expects already…

“Long time no see… Father”-Yi Jeong says as a greeting to his father standing with flowers

“Yes.. Yi Jeong-ah… may I come in?”-He asks

“Not my choice, but come in”-Yi Jeong says coldly, and he allowed him to come in…

When his father got in and took off his coat, his father immediately notice Ga Eul

“Omo… You’re the girl that Yi Jeong before… right?”-He asks Ga Eul and she timidly smiles and bows politely

“Annyeongseo… father”-Ga Eul said reluctantly and the man smiles politely

After a few moments of awkward sighs, silent cursing and rolling eyes…

“So… Chu Ga Eul right?”-He asked

“Yeah… Just Ga Eul…”-Ga Eul responded as she smiles at him, all three sitting around the dining table…

“You know most girls would---…”-He started to talk

“He’s not just any girl father…”-Yi Jeong cut him off, and Yi Jeong felt the tug on his sleeve by Ga Eul… telling him to stop then sighs

“Last time we met, I apologize I was rude and it was un-called for…”-He apologizes and smiles at Ga Eul which she returned the favor…

“That was long time ago, I’m just happy to have you as our guests…”-Ga Eul

“Let’s skip any part… okay, I told you to come here because Ga Eul wants to… I’m getting married, she’s my fiancée and I don’t care what you think. Ga Eul thinks you should know…”-Yi Jeong says as he drops the cutleries to his unmoved plate…

“Sunbae!...”-Ga Eul tugs Yi Jeong’s sleeve again to control him, keep calming him down

“Wha---what? You’re getting married?”-He said

“Oh… please save the water works… whether you give your blessing or not… doesn’t matter”-Yi Jeong says bluntly and another tug again

“Yi Jeong-ah… I know I’ve made mistakes and it’s nothing to be proud of but I’m here to right things…”-He said

“Well unlike me I face then and I don’t gorge myself with alcohol until I become drunk... and forget”-Yi Jeong made fists

“Sunbae! Stop!”-Ga Eul raises her voice and looks from Yi Jeong to his father then back to Yi Jeong again then she stood up reluctantly then

“I’m sorry I need to get some air”-Ga Eul said then she leaves

Yi Jeong sighs and closes his eyes to calm himself…

“strike two son… if I were you I’d go after her before you get another strike”-is father said while drinking water

Yi Jeong stood up and went outside the garden behind the studio, then she saw her standing her back facing at him... he can tell she’s been rubbing her ring and clasps her hand and sighs deeply…

“Ga Eul-ah… i---.”-Yi Jeong

“All I wanted is for both of you to reconcile mainly because I don’t want to see you guys suffer and more over… it would make me happy to see you with a parent at the altar waiting for me to come to you…”-She said as she turns to him eyes glossy…

“Mianhe, Ga Eul-ah… I promise I’ll… I’ll try… I will open up…”-He said as he approaches Ga Eul and caresses he cheeks…

“Really promise?”-Ga Eul said and Yi Jeong responded with a nod

Both pulled each other in an embrace

“What would I do without you?”-Yi Jeong whispers to her

“You would still be the heartless Casanova…”-Ga Eul whispers back giggling… which made Yi Jeong scoff

“True…”-Yi Jeong

After few minutes when they got back from the garden, Yi Jeong still quiet refused to meet his father’s stares… then his father stood up

“Ms. Ga Eul I am thankful for your hospitality… i—I will see both of you around… you have my blessings child”-He said and he was about to leave turning his back to them

“father…”-Yi Jeong, his father turn back around

“It’ll make me happy if… you’ll be my side taking Ga Eul’s hand…”-Yi Jeong said putting his hands on his pockets… biting his lips…

“Chinja? i.. i… I would love to…”-He smiled with sincerity

Innocent Couple :0)

Losing a parent is like losing a leg, you can never replace it even if you put prosthetics it’ll never be the same as the original.

“You know when you said on the phone you want to hang out… I was thinking at your house”-Hae Jin said as she stares at her boyfriend’s calm face then he frowned

“Well the house… was getting a bit crowded lately”-He responded with a sigh

“Her?”-Hae Jin stopped walking and made him stare at her back

“Look i…”-He said

“I know… you‘re trying to help only…”-She finished it for him then lets go of his hand and walks ahead of him

“I’m working on it…”-Ji Hoo said while trying to follow her pace

“More like she’s working you alright”-She said quietly but loud enough for him to answer

“Hey…”-He gently grab her hand and made her turn to him

“You know if I had a choice I would not accept her in my home”-Ji Hoo said looking at her eyes

“That’s the thing… you had a choice, and you chose to help her”-Hae Jin said while sighing

“Wait, what do you want me to do? Kick her out? Chase her outside?”-Ji Hoo responded felt accused

“That’s not what I mean okay?”-Hae Jin replied

“I… I know, Mianhe… can we not talk bout this? I thought we’re having our date”-Ji Hoo said while pulling her gently to him and hugs her tightly

“I really hate it when you do this”-Hae Jin

“Do what?”-Ji Hoo

“This… hugging me, comforting me, showing your big puppy –eyes then whispering me with your cold charming voice and then I fall and swoon over it”-Hae Jin while she puts her arms around his neck

“You think my voice’s charming?”-Ji Hoo says raising his brow teasing her

“Seriously? Out of the things I said, that’s what you picked up? Hilarious”-Hae Jin as she scoffs and giggles

“I missed that sound”-Ji Hoo said smiling down at her

“what sound?”-Hae Jin

“Your giggles, your laughs, your humorous word jousting to me…”-Ji Hoo said as he leans and their noses touch… inches lips apart

“Well, I have a reason to be like that... and… that’s you...”-Hae Jin whispers and before she could continue Ji Hoo closed their distance and leans kissing her sweetly, slow as if music was playing on the background… not caring anyone in the world but them only for a while…

As they part…

“Song Hae Jin…”-Ji Hoo said like a whisper

“Yeah?”-Hae Jin

“I was going to wait for it to be delivered… but I can’t i…”-Ji Hoo said and he looks around as if looking for something…

“What are you looking for?”-Hae Jin asks noticing her boyfriend’s looking for something

“I.. i… wait…”-Ji Hoo runs to the side and saw a bendable foil and bent it to his desired shape then

“Song Hae Jin… I know it’s just been days ever since your father.. passes, and well there can never be a good timing for this… I can’t wait…”-Ji Hoo said

“What are you talking Oppa?”-Hae Jin says tilting her head out of curiosity..

“I… here”-Ji Hoo takes the shaped object and reaches for Hae Jin’s hand

“Ms. Hae Jin, would you do me a huge honor to be Mrs. Yoon? And be my wife?”-Ji Hoo blurted it out

“Oh My God…”-Hae Jin just says the words

“I know it’s… a crazy time but the more I wait, the more I can’t sleep at night… I’m doing this coz I want you to know that I am yours and you are mine… but more over… I love you Song Hae Jin”-Ji Hoo said blabbing them, and even though their understandable , Hae Jin became deaf and all she sees is Ji Hoo’s blushed face…

Ji Hoo was still blabbing when

“Yes”-Hae Jin said calmly

“I was going… to… what? What did you say?”-Ji Hoo

“I said yes… I will marry you Yoon Ji Hoo…”-Hae Jin said teary-eyed, happy…

“Oh My… i…”-Ji Hoo pulls Hae Jin and hugs her tightly as she lifts her up and turns around out of happiness…

“Wait here… it’s temporary… I’ll get you the exact one”-Ji Hoo wore the bendable gold foil to Hae Jin’s ring finger….

“Hae Jin… thank you”-Ji Hoo hugs her again burying his face to her neck

“No Oppa… thank you”-Hae Jin responded muffled as she hugs him back her face buried on his chest
