Chapter Three
(Flashback: The day before they left for Macau)
"Guys, we’re heading for Macau tomorrow. I want everyone to be at the airport at around 6AM. JiHoon, Eun Hye your plane leaves at 8AM." shouted PDC…
JiHoon looking confused, started walking towards to where PDC was standing…
"What do you mean 8AM? Eun Hye and I are not joining you?" asked Jihoon
"No" answered PDC "the staff and I needs to be there early…"he said to JiHoon giving him a smile at the same time…
"Okay. I’ll see you at the airport then JiHoon." it was Eun Hye who answered PDC, looking away from JiHoon, trying not to show how pissed she is right now…
(Pretending to do something on his iPod) "Oh… yeah. See you." JiHoon replied at Eun Hye…
The next day, at the airport…
"Mom, don’t worry, I’ll be fine. This is not the first time I’m going away." Eun Hye kept on telling her mom, who seems to be so worried…
"I know why I can’t be worried. It’s a good thing, JiHoon is there… Anyway, where is he?" her mom asked Eun Hye, while she was looking around the airport…
"He’ll be here. (Pointing to her mom) See… there he is." Eun Hye told her mom while watching JiHoon steps out of his car
"Yeah. You’re right! He’s so handsome, even early in the morning. Alright, you go ahead. I will just have a word with him." Mrs. Yoon told her daughter, flashing a smile upon seeing JiHoon…
When JiHoon spotted Mrs. Yoon and Eun Hye, he immediately gave respect to Eun Hye’s mom…
"How do you do Mrs. Yoon" he asked, while smiling at her
"Quite nervous and alright at the same time, this is the first time I am letting Eun Hye go to a foreign country without me." said Mrs. Yoon
"Don’t worry; it’s only for 5 days. I will keep an eye on her." said JiHoon trying to assure Mrs. Yoon…
"Yes, that’s what Eun Hye told me too… that you would keep an eye on her like a big brother" told Mrs. Yoon while giving JiHoon a smile…
"I’m sorry? What?" pretending to not hear what Eun Hye’s mom just said… "Oh yeah, like a big brother…" said JiHoon with a devilish grin on his mouth.
(Laughing) "Yes. So, I will leave her under your care okay JiHoon" said Mrs. Yoon while leading JiHoon to where Eun Hye was sitting.
Upon seeing her mom and JiHoon smiling at each other, Eun Hye stopped being mad at JiHoon… and told herself that no woman is crazy enough not to be smitten by his natural good looks…
JiHoon glanced at where Eun Hye was sitting, and saw her smile silly to herself, and that view brought smile to his lips too…
"Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Yoon…" he said, while taking Eun Hye’s luggage… "I’ll take this to the counter, better say goodbye to your mom" said JiHoon…
"Bye mom…see you in 5 days!" Eun Hye said and hugged her mother lightly….
Inside the plane, JiHoon was seated right next to Eun Hye, who was already reading a book.
"You’re mother is really a nice woman…" said JiHoon the moment he took a seat next to her…
"Yes. She is" she answered
"Eun Hye" JiHoon spoke
"Yes…" still not looking at JiHoon and continued reading her book
(suddenly grabbing her hand, Eun Hye looked at him with shocked) "your mother said that you treat me like a big brother… so; I’m in the same level with him now?" JiHoon asked her
"What?" she was still caught surprise with him grabbing her hand… (She immediately took of her hand…)
"Forget it, I’m going to sleep" JiHoon turned around so that his back was facing Eun Hye…
Throughout the flight, JiHoon slept… and at one point, he said her name so faintly that she might have just imagined it. But while sleeping, she took out her camera and took photos of him like she used to.
"He really is handsome… I bet girls would be envious of me if he was my boyfriend… I’d be happy to take him anywhere…he’s a well-mannered guy, fun and really makes me laugh. (Shaking her head off…)
What am I thinking?" Eun Hye told herself…
JiHoon woke up, and Eun Hye was sleeping… looking uncomfortable even if they were in a first class trip… He took one of his pillows and placed it gently under her head…
"JiHoon…" she said her name slowly like as if she was still in a dream…
"Yes?" (Looking at Eun Hye’s sleepy eyes…)
"Thank you" then she went back to sleep…
(Flashing yet another of his dreamy smile) "it’s nothing"
When they landed in Macau, Eun Hye noticed that JiHoon is very attentive to her again, like he was before he asked her out on a date. And she likes the fact that they are talking again…
On their 3rd day in Macau, she and JiHoon went around town in a blue Vespa that he borrowed from one of the Macau cast. They went to various tourist destinations, and even viewed a few cottages that were up for sale in one of the nearby provinces.
When they headed back to the hotel, suddenly, Eun Hye wasn’t feeling too well. She got nauseated from the trip, and asked if he can stay till she gets to sleep. Coz she knows that she will be restless and might not be able to sleep. JiHoon at first detested the idea, but later give in to her request.
"Yah…thanks again for staying…" said Eun Hye
"Don’t worry about it…" answered JiHoon… "You better go to sleep now…" he was about to turn around but found Eun Hye walking towards her room…
JiHoon was at the living room when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from Eun Hye’s room… he rushed towards her room, and saw Eun Hye lying on the floor.
"Eun Hye!!!! Oh my god!!! What happened!" JiHoon instantly carried her to her bed…
"I don’t know…I fell…oh JiHoon, my feet hurts…" cried Eun Hye
JiHoon rushed towards the kitchen and took some ice from the fridge…
"Here put this…this might hurt a bit, but you have to bear it…" he told Eun Hye, while he looked at her face and her feet if there was any bruises…
"Thank you… " (And like a crazy fool…she started to sniff, and moments later, she was crying)
"Hey, you don’t need to cry… It’s just ice…is it that cold?" asked JiHoon…
"It’s not about that…" said Eun Hye…her head bent down, facing towards the floor…
"What is it then…" (Taking her face to his hand… trying to see her reaction)
(She couldn’t look at JiHoon)… she kept facing down…
"Eun Hye, please tell me whats wrong" said JiHoon…
And when JiHoon took another look at Eun Hye’s face, it was all red… and she was crying. As he wiped away her tears, JiHoon couldn’t take his eyes off her red lips, and like a dream, feeling intoxicated with her lips, he gently kissed her. As if she was being assured that he can take the pain away…
And like a dream, he suddenly snapped back to reality.
"I’m sorry Eun Hye; I don’t know what came over me." said JiHoon…instantly trying to look if he had hurt Eun Hye…
"Please don’t be sorry… " Eun Hye replied….
"Don’t worry; I won’t let it happen again."… JiHoon told Eun Hye…
Eun Hye couldn’t say a word… and even though that the kiss caught her by surprise, she really like the feel of his lips on hers… and his kiss was so gentle she could almost cry…
When JiHoon, was about to leave the room… Eun Hye called on to him…
"JiHoon…I know I might be asking too much, but can you stay here till I can sleep. If I would fall another time; I might break my bones for real." Eun Hye said nervously, praying that he’ll say yes….
Hesistantly at first, but he still answered…"Sure…no problem."
JiHoon sat at the side of her bed, reading a book… By 2am, Eun Hye finally slept soundly… and JiHoon also already became too sleepy… he started to lie next to Eun Hye…
"Just for a couple of minutes (talking to himself), I need to rest my back."
JiHoon was lying next to Eun Hye, when Eun Hye moved around and placed her hands over him. He was a bit shocked, but then… he was thinking, Eun Hye is here right next to me, and her hands are holding me now… I can sleep peacefully…
Before JiHoon placed the book on his side table, he leaned over Eun Hye and kissed her sweetly on the lips…
"Eun Hye… I really do love you… and I’ll miss you the most when I leave." looking at Eun Hye while she sleeps…
(Moments later, she gently opened her eyes and looked at JiHoon, he’s sleeping soundly…and she thought that how can it be possible for one person to still look so refreshingly handsome even in his sleep)
"JiHoon…" she spoke softly…
"JiHoon… I… I don’t want you to go…"
…. "I’m saying yes…. I’m saying yes to our dinner now…"
…. "and…. "
…. "I love you too…" as she gently placed her hand to his… and kissed it…
and she went back to sleep….
