My Instant Marriage

The sunlight streamed through the window made the room warmer and brighter. Eunbi pulled the blanket of to her shoulder and hugged Young-soo next to her on the bed thinking that he was her bolster pillow. Soon she felt something strange with the bolster pillow which she was hugging, because it was not cozy like the one she used to hug every night in her sleep. She heard someone m.o.a.n.e.d softly next to her ears, and something tightly wrapped around her waist. She opened her eyes by slowly adjusting to the morning brightness of the room, she was startled as she saw that, she was hugging Young-soo not a bolster pillow, his face was just a few centimeters away of her face, and one of his arms was wrapped around her waist. She slowly took off her leg and arm of his body then she slowly un-wraps his arm around her waist, put it on his t.h.i.g.h carefully without waking him, and then she signed in relief.

Young-soo stirred in his sleep, "What happened why you are signing early in the morning?"

She was startled with his deep and hoarse morning voice; she swallowed the lump of her throat.

As he didn't get any reply from her he slowly open his eyes and looked at her. She looked so startled. Young-soo couldn't guess the reason for her look, "why are you looking so startle, you alright?"

Their eyes met and they stared at each other, her heart was in her mouth, she yanked back her head, and gets down from the bed hurriedly, "I'm…I'm looking startle because I wake up from the horror dream and I'm sorry to wake you up."

Young-soo propped his head up on one of his elbows, "you are such a bad liar, anyways good morning. Every-day in the morning I use to go for jogging, if you are willing you can come along with me."

Eunbi tucked a few stands of her hair at the back of her ears, "No thank you I don't like to jog."

He pressed his lips together in line and nodded, "I thought if you come along with me for jogging my parents will be happy to see us together in the morning. That's fine I'll go alone for jogging, you go and have the morning coffee with my mother because she usually haves her morning coffee alone in the garden, she'll be happy if you join with her. And, yesterday I was happy to see you get along with my mom so quickly than I expected, hope she would have said a lot about me."

"Yes she said a lot about you and also the some of your weird characteristics." She said and walked into the bathroom. Young-soo was bemused of what sorts of weird characteristics of him that his mother would have told her.

Eunbi took a bath, dressed-up and went to the living room to meet Mrs. Lee but nobody has been seen in the living room. As she heard the noises comes out from the kitchen she went to the kitchen and asks the butler when will Mrs. Lee haves her coffee.

The butler checks the time of her wrist watch and replied, "Within ten minutes Mrs. Lee will come out of her room and goes to the garden to have her coffee."

Eunbi nodded her head to the butlers answer. She doesn't like to kill the time by simply sitting at one place. Therefore, she asked the butler in the kitchen what types of breakfast does Young-soo and her in-laws usually have.

The butler narrated her politely, "well the young master usually have simple breakfast which is two slices of bread toasts, an egg omelet, glass of a milk, and a few numbers of dry nuts. Mr & Mrs. Lee used to have traditional Korean foods to their breakfast."

As she heard the butler's answer Eunbi took the frying pan from the kitchen cabinet, and as soon as she placed the frying pan on the gas burner stove to make the egg omelet the butler stopped her, "we are here to serve you young mistress so please tell us the menu we will make that for you, young mistress."

"It's okay I'll cook," Eunbi replied to the butler and as she was about to switch on the gas strove Mrs. Lee entered the kitchen, and she was so happy to see her daughter-in-law the way she was interested to prepare the breakfast for them.

However Mrs. Lee doesn't want her daughter-in-law to stain herself so she asked Eunbi to leave that responsibilities to the butler, and she took Eunbi to the garden area of the house to have some coffee.

At the garden, the morning sun where streamed through the branches of the trees, and the chirping sounds of the birds could be heard. They sat opposite to each other on the rectangle six seated wooden patio furniture which was attached along with a colorful embroidered parasol. When the coffee was served they drank the coffee while discussing about the movies which they had watched yesterday.

After a while one of the maids came and informed Mrs. Lee, "ma'am, the breakfast was ready and the young master has just returned back home from jogging."

Eunbi nodded her head and followed the maid to the kitchen, the breakfast was already placed in the dining trolley the two of the maids lifted the dining trolley carefully to the upstairs, and pulled it in front of Young-soo's room. She thanked the maids and the maids bowed their heads in return and walked downstairs to continue their house hold chores.

She opened the room door entered into the room by pulling the dining trolley. She looked around the room he was not in there, noticed that the bathroom door was closed and she could hear the water running sound from the bathroom. She carefully transferred the dishes one by one from the dining trolley to the dining table in the room. When the bathroom door was opened with a click sound she spun her body with a white ceramic plate in her hands. Young-soo comes out from the bathroom only with a towel wrapped around his waist; She quickly spun her body to the other side. He just walked into the walk-in wardrobe, wore navy blue suit with a matching tie, combed his hair in a medium side parted hairstyle, and wore a pair of brown leather shoes. He looked at his reflections in the mirror for one last before he leaves the walk-in wardrobe, and walked near to the dining table. He sat down on the dining chair, and unfold the napkin put it on his l.a.p. She served him the breakfast by filling the glass full of milk from the milk jug, two slices of bread toast, an egg omelet in a plate, and a bowl of dry nuts. She sat down on the chair parallel to him and watches him.

"Aren't you gonna have your breakfast?" He asked her.

"I'll have once you finish having your breakfast."

He took a sip of plain milk from the glass, "I don't like to have my foods alone, so please have the breakfast along with me," he said and served her the two slices of bread toast on her plate, filled the glass full of milk from the jug.

Eunbi doesn't wanted to be mean to him in the morning, she just had the bread toast in an awkward silence.

Soon, Young-soo broke the silence, "what are your plans for today?"

"I don't have any plans for today," Eunbi replied, "May I know why do you want to know about my today's plan?"

"I just want to know about it, that's why."

Young-soo swallowed the food in his mouth, "last night I carried you in my arms from my mom's room to my room."

"What?" she asked and widened her eyes.

"What happened, why are you looking at me as if I had done some kind of crime?"

"Nothing," she took the glass of milk, gulped down some milk, and asked him, "When are we going to Jeju Island?"

Young-soo leaned forward on the table towards Eunbi, her heart was hammered in her c.h.e.s.t. He wiped off the milk froth mustache over her upper lip with his thumb finger which she forgot to wipe it off, "we are leaving to Jeju Island by tomorrow morning."

She widened her eyes with surprise with his sudden touch; she leaned backward on her chair, and shoved his hand from her mouth, "please don't touch me for unnecessary reason without my permission, because still I couldn't believe the fact that I got married."

Young-soo sat down properly on his chair; he apologized to her, and took a sip of milk from his glass. "I forget to tell you that yesterday I went to your college, met your Principal, and submitted the letter regarding to issue you the transfer certificate. Almost I had finished all the procedures but they need your signature in the college register. Therefore, I'll take you to your college in the afternoon so you get ready before I arrive."

"No thank you, you carry on your work; I'll go by myself to my college and I feel like I wanted to meet my parents. So after collecting my certificate from my college I'll go to my home." Eunbi replied.

"Alright, I'll ask one of our chauffeurs to take you to your college," Young-soo had one last slice of bread toast, wiped his mouth with the help of the napkin, took his office bag, bid her bye, and left the room.
