chapter15

The knot

woo bin didn’t say much about receiving the watch other than a simple thanks just before leaving out of their room the next day, so eun just shrugged, it’s not like she expected anything from him in return, she just got it for ? I can just get him gifts, he said he is my friend in Hawaii, so friends can gift one another. So eun answered that question to herself. Next few days were the same to them,  both of them would wish each other in mornings and leave for their work, so eun sometimes ask how shin hye was and woo bin does the same asking about Uee and hyun joon.  But today again, woo bin’s parents have things to say at dinner
“you two are going to move into your house tomorrow” and once again both so eun and woo bin chocked
“what ?” they both asked
“you didn’t understand it ?” Mr.kim asked as he waved his hand with a smirk and then spoke on 
“you both are going to go there and start living from tomorrow, and also plan a party and invite everyone else to your new home for the weekend” mr.kim laughed at his child and his daughter in laws expression and smiling he left their dinner table.
“pack sufficient clothes for a few days tonight, the rest I will send them later” saying Mrs.Kim left following her husband, with two shocked faces staring at the direction they left.
“looks they decided to get rid of me ” woo bin said to as he entered the room  and threw himself on to his bed, no his couch since this was his new bed since so eun came, so eun didn’t know what to say too, they both were left shocked, she knew they had to move there but this fast and this sudden with just a notice before night, things went so fast , she didn’t know what to respond, but this is what she agreed into everything this marriage offers for one year and keep the elders as happy as they can so that they will be thinking that both her and woo bin tried to work things out but they didn’t turn out how they expected to be and will not be so much troubled when she and him will separate after a year and woo bin can get back where he belonged once to, shin hye, what about her ? so eun didn’t know yet.
“you don’t have anything to say ?” woo bin asked curiously since she didn’t  say anything from when his parents said that they have to leave tomorrow.
“I accepted to do whatever that makes them feel happy for a whole year” so eun stated what she thought, woo bin could only nod at her answer. He lay back on his couch once again and just thought, he can arrange a party organizer for this, the only difference this time will be he or they will have to finalize the party theme, colors used, what menu they will be holding, how many people and all the basic party stuff which normally his mother will do everytime, this time she wants so eun to take her place, that’s it, he got up to pack a few clothes and glanced side ways to see that so eun was lost in some thought.
“aren’t you packing your clothes ?”
“ah, yes” so eun said hearing upon hearing woo bin, she got up and walking towards her closet she repeated again “yes I will pack” and then she started packing some of her clothes into her bag, it would be a lie if she says she didn’t miss her old comfortable clothing and also her glasses, lenses were a little irritating for her and without glasses she surely felt like she lost something important, actually may be I can ask mother in law if I can use glasses at home.
“what are you wondering standing like that ?” woo bin asked seeing the pose she was in, a shirt that she was holding in air and lost in thought, only then so eun realized that she was in the middle of packing, embarrassed she immediately apologized
“sorry” woo bin laughed at her confused expression thinking why is she even sorry when she has done nothing worng and commented
“you are a little weird you know”

“take care kids, plan a great welcome party for all of us, you have a week’s time” woo bin’s mother said as she stood at their door way with her husband and waving to his son and daughter in law who are taking their way towards his car
“woo bin ah, treat so eun well arasso ?” mr.kim said to woo bin in a little serious tone, since he has suspicions regarding woo bin’s behavior, but not understanding that but out of concern for his parents woo bin said
“I will, please take care of your health omma and abeoji”
“take care of your health ommonim and abeonim” so eun added, bidding their good bye’s woo bin and so eun entered his car. As woo bin and so eun entered his car woo bin spoke
“I will drop you off at your school after we leave our luggage in the new house” so eun only nodded in response since she will be late if she walks and waited for a bus.
“do you really need to send them off like that ?” mrs.kim asked her husband as the two figures disappeared,
“they both need to be real to one another, and see each other’s real inner self than the outer self” mr.kim said which confused his wife even more
“what do you mean by that ?” she asked, that is when mr.kim explained his doubts to her, and his suspicion that woo bin is still having his contacts with shin hye and also easily accepting a marriage with so eun and also their behavior. if they truly bonded in these three months and if it was genuine then he will be glad to accept that, but if not, they may need some push up and more spending time together and getting to know little things about one another may help them better. It’s not like he can’t put up a spy behind his son’s back and know his doings, but he respects his son’s privacy and want things to flow the way they should rather than force them to flow, that is why he decided to send them to a new house, where they can get some bonding time and things can change between them if they have not already. Hearing his explanation, mrs.kim also accepted that his decision is right.

“oppa” shin hye visited woo bin’s office
“what are you doing here shin hye ah ?” woo bin asked with a smile surprised by her visit
“just came to visit you oppa, shouldn’t I ?”shin hye asked acting sad even though she was not,
“you definitely know I didn’t mean it that way right ?” saying that with a smile woo bin went ahead and embraced her in a hug and gestured her to take a seat.
“it’s been a while since you visited here” he commented as he thought so, mostly they met outside or at her home or occasionally at his
“true oppa, but we can’t meet that frequently so, I thought of visiting you in your office only”shin hye said in response, her face fell a little sad that they were unable to meet like they used to previously, seeing that woo bin thought to change the topic and spoke
“shin hye ah, we moved into the new house, there is a party next week and this time it is me that is organizing , you have to come okay ?” woo bin invited her hoping a party can cheer her up, shin hye thought for a moment and replied
“arasso oppa, I will come” shin hye replied him with a smile when she saw him wearing a new watch so she asked again
“oppa, you got a new watch ?”
“so eun gifted me”
“why will she gift you ?” shin hye asked a little insecure about that, why did she gift me in the first place ? woo bin also wondered, up until now he didn’t think why would she, but for now as he looked at shin hye her expression is falling every second and that is enough for woo bin to understand that she is feeling insecure and decided to tell her something to make her feel better
“shin hye ah, she accidentally broke my watch in Hawaii the day after you left, so she got me a new one, that’s it” he decraled trying to sound as true as he can make that lie sound. He definitely didn’t want shin hye to be hurt unnecessarily but what shin hye asked was also he need to get that answer from so eun without seeming desperate. That is when he thought. Kim so eun, you want to be friends with me ? is this why you gifted me this ? Woo bin thought as he looked at the watch on his hand. Shin hye nodded for woo bin’s words.  Though she knew she and so eun are very much different and also woo bin still dating her in secret, she has a gut feeling that something might happen, something she may not like so much, on top of that there is this upcoming important contract that will be taking away her time, how can she even tell woo bin that she will be leaving for a while ? she thought   for a second and decided that she will give him the news on their party, a good news on a good occasion, well it is not completely a good news since it will be taking her away from woo bin for a while and  that thought bothered her so much, but it is something important for her career and she can’t even reject that offer. Both shin hye and woo bin conversed for a while more and after that she left. Stepping out of his office shin hye took out her hand phone and dialed her manager
“oppa. Can you please postpone the departure date till next week ?”
“shin hye ah, you know this is an important contract and you can’t ask for amendments” her manager said concered on what he just heard
“I know oppa, just a few days, there is an important day coming for me and I have to be here in seoul that day, please oppa, please talk to them and postpone by just a week oppa” shin hye explained to her manager
“okay, I will see what I can do” her manager said giving in, she thanked him and hung up the call. After a few minutes into driving she got a call from her manager confirming her postpone of departure till next week, happy to hear that she once again thanked him.

School went on normal for so eun. She went to her new home, it was pretty close actually only a 15minute walk from her school and then she returned back home, she didn’t get to view the house quiet well in the morning, they only placed their luggage and left for work, so she decided to take a look around, the furniture seemed quiet matched with the walls as the designer suggested that day, paintings and photos of her and woo bin graced the walls, and a few photos of her which made her stunned and think like ‘do I even look that good ?’ and a bigger frame of her and woo bin’s marriage which she has only one word to describe beautiful. The first floor has three rooms and a lobby, one room with almost blue, one with shades of white and cream and other a pure white room all the furniture matched,
“we still did not select on which room we will be having” so eun said to herself, since there were different rooms and woo bin’s parents not here, may be they can have their separate rooms and stay together if they have a visitor, I am going to tell woo bin sshi about this later thinking so eun went downstairs looking for food, and to her surprise there were no supplies, this means she needs to shop everything, one look at the time and it is almost time for dinner and she didn’t realize she took that long in seeing the house, that is when a street vendor shop she came across while coming back from school came into her mind, taking her purse she walked out of the door,
“ajhumma, please pack me some grilled chicken, rice balls, soup and soju” so eun told to the vendor.

as shin hye left, woo bin thought of only one thing, it is high time he and so eun can be friends,  and he himself said becoming friends will be easier in hawaii, that is in a different situation, but even now it is not anything wrong, and there is an enough occasion today to start that, they moved into a new house and this is going to happen only once, thinking woo bin got home with a pack of beers for them to celebrate. And by the time he reached, he saw her arranging food
“what is all this food ?” he asked her
“there are no supplies here, shopping need to be done tomorrow” so eun stated the situation simply, nodding in agreement he placed the pack on the table, making so eun wonder
“you got that ? there are already so many drinks, I got soju woo bin sshi” so eun said as she pointed towards them, only then his eyes fell on the soju bottles there, woo bin thought for a second and he placed both soju and beer beside one another and said
“hey, lets play rock paper sissors”
“what ?”
“listen, if I win we will have beer and if you win soju, okay ?” woo bin explained what he thought, so eun accepted , standing in front of one another, both of them placed their hands behind their back and woo bin counted saying
“rock”
“paper”
“scissors”  and both of them revealed their hands, so eun holding scissors while woo bin a rock.
“I win, put the soju in refrigerator” woo bin said with a smirk making so eun pout and she kept the soju in refrigerator. As she retuned both of them settled themselves for dinner and were half way into eating when woo bin said
“lets play another game”
“like what ?” so eun asked
“20 questions ” woo bin stated with a smile
