My Instant Marriage-Chapter 20 I should haven’t bought him a gif
In the college during the break time Eunbi expressed her decision to her friends, "anyhow I've already planned to divorce him after a year because this marriage is a mistake, but I don't want to make the situation tough and awkward in between us for the upcoming days which we are going to spend together in the house. You guys knew that I've decided to accept Young-soo as my friend, right?" she paused for a sec and looked at her friends they nodded their head, "but I don't have any idea about how to express that to Young-soo." She grabbed both Hee-jung and Hong-joo's hands and asked them to give her some idea about it.
Both Hee-jung and Hong-joo were not satisfied with Eunbi's decision but they believe that one day she'll reconsider about her decision of divorcing Young-soo. Anyways they just made a friendly smile at Eunbi, "I'm so glad of your decision that you've decided to accept Young-soo as your friend, you're such a great person, Eunbi." Hong-joo said.
Hee-jung nodded her head for Hong-joo's compliment with a smile and gave an idea to Eunbi-"express your decision to Young-soo by gifting him a present."
"I'll go with your idea, Hee-jung, but the problem is I don't know what should I get him because I don't know what he likes and dislikes." Eunbi replied.
As a male friend Hong-joo he himself came forward to help his female friend, "Don't worry, Eunbi I'll help you, after the classes ends in the evening let's go out for shopping and get him something best and a memorable gift."
As Hong-joo said after the college he took Eunbi out for shopping and they bought a classic platinum links bracelet for Young-soo, then he dropped her off at her house by his car and went to his house.
In the house while having the dinner Eunbi give Young-soo the gift box, "I bought it for you."
Young-soo looked at the gift wrapped box with puzzlement, "today is not my birthday."
She cleared her throat, "it's not a present for your birthday, open and take a look at it, then you'll understand the reason."
"Ok, let me see what is inside the box." he picked up the present box from the table, unwrapped the paper wrap of the box, opened the square box and he was surprise to see a platinum bracelet along with a small paper note in it but he didn't show any reactions on his face. He took out the small paper note from the box and read 'let's be friends' and then he wore the bracelet on his right wrist, "I like it, it's damn cool and let's be friends." He said as if he was not interested in those sorts of things.
Eunbi nodded her head with disappointment to his comment, because it was her first time to present a gift for a male. She just continues to eat her food in silence.
As he looked at her that she looks so disappointed, he asked her, "Why you are looking so disappointed, are you alright did I say anything wrong?"
"No you didn't, it was a tiring day after all, I'll be alright if I take some good amount of sleep tonight." She replied and thought, I should have not bought him a gift…I forget that he's a emotionless person.
He nodded his head, "I forget to tell you that tomorrow morning in the first flight we are going to Seoul to visit our parents, so you go to bed early tonight I'll do the dishes tonight."
She nodded her head, quickly ate her dinner, wiped off her mouth with the help of the tissue paper, "Young-soo, don't forget to dry all the washed dishes before you place them in the racks." She said before she gets into her room.
He just replied 'hmm', he carefully took the dirty dishes, and put them into the kitchen sink. Once he finishes of washing the dishes he dried them one by one with the dry clothes, and placed them carefully in the rack. Then he switched off the lights of the kitchen and the living room and went to his room. He sat down on the bed, smiled by looking at the bracelet on his right wrist, and kissed it, "I'll always be your friend, and soon I hope that one day you'll also accept me as your husband, I'm waiting for that day, Eunbi," he muttered. Before he goes to sleep he checked some mails with the help of the tablet and then he fell asleep.
They woke-up early in the morning with the help of the phone alarm; once they get ready they went to the Jeju airport on time.
When they reach Seoul, first they went to her parent home. Mr. and Mrs. Yoon were so happy and surprise to meet their daughter and her husband in the morning in their home. They all chatted in the living room for a while, and had their breakfast together. To avoid felling uneasy in front of his in-laws like the other day, Young-soo took the medicine for his trauma before he entered the house.
After having the breakfast Young-soo and Mr. Yoon went for a walk at the garden footpath of the house. It was pea gravel lined with bricks and paver with different size of stepping stones in between the herbal plants and trees. They walk silently for a minute and Mr. Yoon broke the silence first, "how is my daughter behaving with you?"
"She is behaving well with me, abeonim."
Mr. Yoon nodded his head.
"Did you speak with her again?" Young-soo asked blankly. And it made Mr. Yoon to wonder whom did he mentioned, "May I know whom you are asking about."
"I am asking about Eunah, abeonim."
"Yes, she talks with me every day for a while through phone calls. I feel bad every time when she ends up the call with an apology even though I've told her that I've forgiven her, but she keeps on apologizing to me every day saying because of her I got sick and admitted in the hospital. I couldn't bear it when my daughter regrets too much for her wrong decision."
Flashback;
The day after Young-soo agreed to give divorce to Eunbi. Young-soo contacted her elder sister Eunah who was living in Thailand by working as a charity worker in one of the organizations. After inquiring about her that how she was doing in the new country, he said that things were not going good in-between him and Eunbi.
Eunah: "shall I speak with her, Young-soo-shi?"
Young-soo: "no thanks because I hope that everything will get well soon in between us. When are you planning to speak with your parents?"
Eunah: "soon."
Young-soo: "try to speak with them before this matter gets worse than before."
She hummed, "take care of my sister." With that she ended the call.
And after few days Eunah spoke with her father through the phone. She first apologized and said everything to her father that she is doing fine in the new country, even she often speak with Young-soo, how he helped her to live the way she wanted to live, and also the truth about why Young-soo has married Eunbi. And after speaking with Eunah Mr. Yoon was guilty that arranging the matrimony without knowing her wish was his fault. And because of his guilty conscious he was collapsed and got admitted in the hospital.
End of flashback
"Don't worry abeonim soon everything will be alright."
"When are you planning to tell the truth to Eunbi?"
"I am waiting for the right time, Abeonim."
"What you have done is an unforgivable thing even though I've forgiven you only because of your parent faces. Beside, my daughter's life is involved in this matter so I don't want to spoil my daughter's life with my hasty decision. You already knew that I've got a strong faith in you that you will be a good husband to my daughter."
Mr. Yoon's hope made Young-soo to feel guilty of his ill-behaviors towards Eunbi but he didn't open his mouth about it to Mr. Yoon, he just knelt down on his both knees in front of Mr. Yoon and made a blank apology, "Abeonim, please forgive me for my wrong doings."
"Young-soo would you please get up, son, I have already forgiven you. All I want from you is to take good care of my daughter. I knew that my daughter is stressed and struggling to adapt the new life with you in the new city, but soon she'll get used to the changes because she's a wise girl, and I am sure that you will be a good companion in her success and failure." Mr. Yoon encouraged him.
Young-soo gets up on the brick floor, stood straight, looked at Mr. Yoon's eyes, and said, "Sure, abeonim I promise you that I'll be a good companion in her failure and success."
Mr. Yoon hugged Young-soo and patted his back gently.
