When Young-soo woke-up in the morning he noticed that Eunbi was not there on the bed next to him. He stretched his arms high above his head with a disappointment; he got down from the bed, and made his way to the bathroom. Eunbi doesn't like to have the food in his house without doing any works, so she prepared the breakfast for him.
Once he got ready to go to the office he went to the living room and he was surprise to the breakfast in the dining table. He sat down at one of the dining chair to have the breakfast. There were two bowls of Ramyun noodles were placed on the dining table, to avoid the situation like last night Eunbi sat down on the dining chair next to him and had her breakfast with him in an awkward silence. Young-soo took out his credit card from his wallet, placed it on the dining table, saying the four digit pin number and asked her to use it for the grocery shopping also for her personal uses. Before he leaves the house, he pecked her lips out of the blue, she agape her mouth in surprise. He took his office bag, and said, "Bye~, see you in the evening."
As soon as Young-soo left the house she headed into the bathroom and washed her lips with some plain water. As she looked at her reflection on the bathroom mirror, tears automatically rolled down from her face. She questioned herself, 'why he's doing this to me he touches me against my wish whenever he was in a good or in a bad mood, don't he know that I hate him, what he is thinking of me? I'm not his doll for all his needs. God please save me from this monster.' She splashed some water vigorously on her face, and wiped off her face with the help of the bathroom towel. She marched towards her room, lay down flat on her stomach on the bed, and she felt so self-hatred and despair. 'I can endure if he asks me to do the household chores but I cannot tolerate if he touches me without my permission,' She muttered and advised herself to smack-off his face if he tries to touch her without her permission.
She ate the Ramyun noodles again as a meal for the lunch. Then she changed into a casual outfit, booked the taxi through the online to go to the nearest supermarket. Once the taxi has arrived in front of the house she took her handbag, locked the entrance door of the house, and got in the taxi. It took nearly twenty minutes to reach the supermarket; she paid the taxi fare, and got down from it. she walked into the supermarket with blank mind, usually her mother used to accompany her wherever she used to go out, but today it was her first time in her life to come for a shopping all by herself and that to for a grocery shopping, therefore she felt bit nervous and excited at the same time. She relaxed herself by taking few inhales and exhales, and advised herself, 'it's just a shopping there is no need to get nervous about it, you always wanted to go out for a shopping by yourself since from childhood isn't it? Come-on girl now enjoy this moment by shopping.'
She took one of the shopping carts pushed it with lots of excitement but her problem was she doesn't had any idea where to start from and what all the things needed to be shopped. She took out her smart phone from her handbag and browsed for grocery list ideas, once the requested result shown she began to shop first from vegetables then fruits, meats, dairy products, eggs, nuts & dry fruits, cutlery, spices, rice, oils, beverages, snacks, and toiletries. She paid the bill for the entire shopped items and headed straight-away to the house through the taxi.
Once she reached home she placed the shopping bags in the living room, and lay down on the sofa for a while. She felt so exhausted for the first time because of the shopping. She unpacked the things from the bags one by one and organized the items in its appropriate places. For dinner she decided to prepare rice with chicken stew and steaks fry, she google it how to prepare those dishes, along with how much quantity will be enough for two people, and also the required ingredients.
She followed the instruction carefully step by step which was written on the blog to prepare the dishes for the dinner. As she was busy at the kitchen the doorbell of the house rang, she ran near to the door and checked who it was on the door's peephole. As she saw Young-soo by the door she opened the door for him and rushed back to the kitchen to continue her work.
As soon as Young-soo entered the house he was welcomed by the aroma of the meat fry. He inhaled the aroma deeply by closing his eyes, as his legs wandered towards the kitchen, "wow, it's smells so good and it just increases my appetite," he commented, "I'll go freshen-up and come quickly."
He returned back to the kitchen in ten minutes, he crossed his arms and leaned his shoulder against the kitchen's doorway. He silently observed Eunbi; the way she prepares the dinner for them. He cleared his throat to draw her attention, "are you done, do you need my help?"
She turned her body to his side and looked at him, "I'm almost finished, would you mind go set the table for the dinner," she pointed out the cabinet, "the tableware's are in those liners of the cabinet."
He nodded his head, took out the two plates, bowls, chopsticks, and cutleries from the cabinet liners. He placed the tableware's on the dining table, as he starts to set the table there he saw his credit card was still lying on the table at the same place where he had placed it in the morning. He went to the bedroom took his smart phone and checked whether he has received any messages under the access of his debit card. As he saw he hasn't received any messages he was so displeased with her. "Eunbi, come here," he yelled out loud from the bedroom.
She turned off the gas burner stove, walked to his room by murmuring, 'now what happened? Why did he yell out my name as if a thunder fell right on top of his head?'
He showed his card to her and asked, "What is this?"
"You don't know what is it, it's your credit card," She replied in an annoyance.
"I knew that damn it, I gave it to you to use it for shopping, but why you didn't use it?"
"I forget to take it along with me for shopping," she said casually.
"Did you forget or left it on purpose?"
She knitted her brow in angry, "yes I left your credit card purposely because I dislike spending your money and also to live my life by depending you. Still now I couldn't understand that why did I agreed to marry you even though knowing about your intension."
Young-soo smirked and folded his arms of his chest, "don't you know that it's a waste of time to talk or think about the past."
"Yes, you are absolutely right, Young-soo. It is a waste of time to discuss about this matter with you, because our marriage is just like you it means absolutely nothing to me," she replied with exasperation, "anyways, I'm going to have the dinner if you would like to join with me you are welcomed."
Young-soo felt so hurt and angry at the same time with her impolite words. He took his remote car key and smart phone, marched out of the house, got into his car and drove off.
Eunbi ate the dinner alone, watched some television programs for a while, and went to bed. He returned back home at 1:45 am and rang the doorbell. She was startled awake by the doorbell of the house she got down from the bed, walked towards the entrance door. She could clearly hear his yells from the outside of the door.
"Yeah! Open the damn door you arrogant woman."
She opened the door, looked at him- his face looked so red and puffy, disheveled hair and his t-shirt was half tucked in.
"What took you so long to open the door, you lazy woman, do you know how long I have been ringing the door bell?" Eunbi covered her nose with her palm as soon as she smelled the strong odor of alcohol on his breath.
He stumbled as he entered the house, "Now why are you covering your nose, do I smell unpleasant?"
Eunbi ignored his question shut the door and started to walk to her room. However, he grabbing her wrist and stopped her, "are you deaf or what I asked you do I smell unpleasant? I need your answer now?"
She shoved off his hand hardly with annoyance, "are you suffering with amnesia or what? I've already warned you for several times that to not touch me without my permission."
"I'm not suffering with amnesia I remember each and every words which you have said. I have full rights to touch you because I'm your husband." He said and in the next few seconds he firmly grasped her shoulders pushed her against the nearest wall leaned down his head, and asked, "Tell me, do I smell unpleasant?"
The odor of the alcohol which came from his breath was too strong she felt nausea and felt like vomiting; she placed her hands on his chest, and pushed him away from her with all her energy. She ran to the bathroom by covering her mouth and vomited in the toilet bowl.
Young-soo was displeasure to see her vomiting in the toilet bowl. He massaged his head with disappointment, walked in to his room, and lay down flat on his back on the bed.
That night Eunbi couldn't able to sleep. She wanted to move away from this traumatic life before it becomes even worse. She was so confused whether she should inform about this matter to her parents or wait patiently for some more days.
