Shi Hoon's Home, Nights.
Shi Hoon was reading through some documents in his study room. It has been three days since the talked with Mi Rae happened and Mi Rae still did not give any answered. A day after Shi Hoon talked to Mi Rae, he confirmed a few things about what Mi Rae told him. He can't confirm about the inheritance but he did confirm that Mi Rae had a younger brother.
Mi Rae's younger brother's name was Kim Min Jae. He was six years younger than Mi Rae. He was still a college student. He was smarter than Mi Rae and thus he got into S University without any problem majoring in chemistry. Jong Min went to meet him but upon mentioning Mi Rae's name, he got angry and left. Something happened between them and it was also true that Min Jae pulled himself out of their family registry.
'Knock knock' someone knock on the study room's door. The door opened and it was Shi Hoon's mom.
Shi Hoon looked at his mom and asked, "Mom, something wrong?"
"Well~ I want to know if your girlfriend agrees to meet us next week," said Shi Hoon's mom.
"She did not say yes yet because she thought it was still too early but she is considering it," said Shi Hoon while looking at the documents.
"Oh, is that so. Hmm~ So, it is okay to tell me at least her name, right?" asked Shi Hoon's mom.
"Oh, her name is-" before he can say Mi Rae's name, his phone rang and it was Mi Rae who was calling. Shi Hoon took his phone and answered the call.
"Hello?" said Shi Hoon.
"It is me, Mi Rae," said Mi Rae.
"Are you calling me to give me your answer?" said Shi Hoon. His mom was looking at him talking at the phone.
"Yes… I have been thinking about your proposal properly for the past few days and I made my decision," said Mi Rae.
"And your answer?" asked Shi Hoon.
"I… agr… to become… your… gir…end," said Mi Rae in a low voice that Shi Hoon missed some of her words.
"I can't hear you. Can you talk louder?" said Shi Hoon. The reason Mi Rae talked in a low voice was because it was embarrassing saying it out loud. Shi Hoon was the first man that Mi Rae met that asked her to be his girlfriend. She was shy and timid thus many men she knows not interested in her.
Mi Rae took a deep breath and say it again, "I agree to become your girlfriend," with a red face.
When Shi Hoon heard that, his face relaxed and he slightly smile but it was not too visible. "I am glad," said Shi Hoon but his voice was a bit softer than before. He continued, "I told you before that my parents wants to meet you next week. My mom is in front of me now. I will turn on the speaker and you can tell my mom the answer you give me just now."
"???? Huh???" before Mi Rae can processed everything, a voice can be heard.
"Hello?" It was a sweet and beautiful voice. "Are you Shi Hoon's girlfriend?" asked Shi Hoon's mom.
"Ah… H-H-Hello, I-I-I am Kim Mi Rae, Shi Hoon ssi's girl-girlfriend," said Mi Rae while stuttering.
Shi Hoon smiled and said, "Mom, she is a bit shy and quite timid too, so I hope you can understand."
Shi Hoon's mom smiled and said, "Honey, don't worry. You don't need to be too nervous. I am not a scary person."
"I-I-I am sorry. It was too sudden and I am not able to properly prepare myself," said Mi Rae apologetically.
"It is fine. Don't worry about it," said Shi Hoon's mom with calm voice and she continued, "Shi Hoon told you that I want to meet you, right? Are you okay meeting us next week?" asked Shi Hoon's mom.
"… Yes, I can," answered Mi Rae.
"Hohoho, that is great. Then, we will meet next week," said Shi Hoon's mom while she was happily smiling.
"Yes…" said Mi Rae.
"Okay, I will end the call now," said Shi Hoon immediately as he didn't want to prolong his mom talk with Mi Rae. After he said that, Shi Hoon ended the call.
"You don't need to end the call that fast. I want to talk a bit more with her," said Shi Hoon's mom.
"You can see yourself that she was too nervous. I don't want her to get too stress," said Shi Hoon.
Shi Hoon's mom stared at him, "Fine, fine. I will go now," said Shi Hoon's mom and she left the study room.
Shi Hoon looked at his smartphone and said this to himself, "She called at the right time. Now, everything can go normally."
Shi Hoon's mom reached at her room with a face full of happiness.
"What is with that face?" asked Shi Hoon's dad.
"I talked to Shi Hoon's girlfriend on the phone just now and she will meet us next week," said Shi Hoon's mom.
"Really? How is she?" asked Shi Hoon's dad more.
"I can't really say much about her but her voice tone sound humble. Shi Hoon also said she is a bit shy and timid and I can see that from her voice," explained Shi Hoon's mom.
"She can't be too shy or timid if she wants to be our daughter-in-law," said Shi Hoon's dad.
"I am sure everything will be fine. As long as she treats Shi Hoon nicely, I don't mind if she is shy and timid. We can help her slowly with that," said Shi Hoon's mom while smiling.
Shi Hoon's dad looked at his wife, "You seem to like her a lot when you just only listening to her voice," said him. Shi Hoon's mom just smile at that.
Mi Rae's Home.
After the call ended, Mi Rae was dumbfounded. "What was that? That was too sudden…" said Mi Rae. She pondered a bit and said, "I hope I did not give any bad impression."
'Ting~' a message came to Mi Rae's smartphone. Mi Rae saw that it was Shi Hoon. She clicked on it and the message appeared.
'Good job talking to my mom. I will see you tomorrow' said Shi Hoon. Mi Rae just look at the message without saying anything. 'Ting~' another message from Shi Hoon came. Mi Rae read that message and she blushed.
'I will try to set some time free in the evening. Let's go on a simple date.' Said Shi Hoon.
"I guess we are really dating…" said Mi Rae with red face. She sends 'Ok' message back to Shi Hoon.
Back at Shi Hoon's side, he read the 'ok' message and his face frowned. "Just 'ok'? Are we really dating? At least text me 'I lov- No, that was too much at this stage. At least a 'good night' is better than 'ok' too," said Shi Hoon disappointed with Mi Rae's reply.
"What should we do tomorrow? Movie? Dinner? Shopping?" said Shi Hoon. "Movie will take too much time. Shopping… Mi Rae did not look like those girls who loves shopping. Since we just start our relationship, I think dinner is the best choice. We need to get to know each other more."
Mi Rae on the other hand was lying on her bed scrolling through her Instagram just like usual. She was thinking a lot of things about her new relationship after Shi Hoon's text message but decided to remain calm about it. After scrolling through her Instagram for half an hour, she stopped and went to the living room and switched on the television.
It was time for 'We Are Linked', a drama that started airing last week and got a really high viewership rating for their first two episodes. The drama currently airing the third episode. The drama did not have any star's power but manage to get high rating based on the plot alone. It was trending on social media when the episodes aired and reviewer also gave 'We Are Linked' a high score based on the first two episodes. The unknown actors in the drama gained a huge boost in their popularity. Their twitter, Instagram and other social media account got a boost in follower.
Mi Rae was glued on the tv screen watching 'We Are Linked' and smile alone by herself excited watching the drama. After the drama finished, she checked the internet and the drama was trending again.
"I think, it is time for me to sleep. Phew~ that was a good episode. As a viewer, I am happy it is good and I hope the drama will keep increasing in rating," said Mi Rae while smiling. She went back to her room and lying on her bed. "I'm nervous about tomorrow dates. What should I wear?" said Mi Rae.
'Ting~' a message came to her phone. Mi Rae checked the text message and she smiled. Mi Rae then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
