After this embarrassing encounter with him, Pranavi avoided Woobin for two whole days but all her efforts became futile when the devil himself came knocking at the door.
" I need to go for shopping, as my helper, you will have to accompany me." He then leaned forward coming closer to her ears, the distance between them decreased and if he would have come any closer they would be able to kiss.This position was little more ambiguous. Pranavi's heart was pounding hard that she could even hear her own heartbeat. Like a whisper, he said coming to near her ears, "Dress your best today."
He turned and left leaving Pranavi dazed. After regaining senses Pranavi realized that she was blushing profusely. For her it was inevitable to not to blush when he was around. "Damn his charms!" she said with her teeth gritted. He doesn't even realize that he can seduce a girl just by whispering. "God ! Please forbid me to rape him before the end of one year. I dont know till how long will I be able to control my desire for this forbidden fruit." she cried inwardly.

Woobin brought Pranavi to one of the malls under his company. He had disguised himself so that no one could identify him. Pranavi wore a white floral dress that had shoulder straps having concealed zip closure and an attached lining with hem.She had tied her hair into a messy bun. She looked beautiful and elegant. As it is cold in Korea she wore a Jacket to cover her shoulders that matched with the pink floral print of the dress.
Woobin and Pranavi were just strolling around when Pranavi saw a very beautiful dress showcased in one of the showroom. She moved towards the shop leaving him behind. The attendants of the shop welcomed her. Tgey were very courteous and she liked it as a matter of fact that they were not like the people who judge a book by its cover. Just like they didn't judge her for her simple appearance.
She looked at the dress with longing evident in her eyes. She checked the price but the number of zeroes that greeted her made her loose all the shine from her eyes as they dropped dejectedly. She was about to exit the showroom when she saw Woobin coming in the shop. She smiled half-heartedly at him as they continued to walk away.
The whole scene was witnessed by him. He didn't fail to notice how her eyes were struck at that only dress and after noticing the price tag how dejected she felt. He just went inside, held her hand and returned with her however Pranavi had already lost interest in doing anything after that. They had their lunch which definitely brought Pranavi to her normal state. After all food can be cure to any heartbreak provided it's not poisoned.
By the time Woobin and Pranavi reached home, it was already time for dinner. Today she prepared vegan styled kimbap. Since she joined Woobin as his helper she would try different versions of Korean dish just like today. Woobin also loved trying her different experimented dishes. They both had their dinner amicably and then left to their respective rooms.
Pranavi was already dead tired and now she only hoped to have a good night's sleep.She could already imagine her bed calling out her name inviting her to sleep on its soft feathery mattress. She was about to jump on the bed when she noticed a gift wrapped and kept on her bed. She went near and curiously unwrapped it only to receive blow to her heart. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw the same dress she saw in the showroom today to be inside the packet. Along with it there was also a pair of matching sandals. Then she noticed a hand written note with it. She picked it up and noticed the words "For you" written on it in a beautiful cursive handwriting. She felt ethereal to receive a gift she knew from whom. Her eyes shone and lips curled up into a beautiful smile. This is how she slept, smiling and still embracing the dress and the sandals as if embracing the gifts with love....
