Chapter 39 - Won’t You Tie It For Me?

Yu Qi lifted her hands to hug him back. She hugged him and said "I guess, I'm sorry too."

When Min Jae heard her say that, he let go of her and held her hand. He caressed her hand and said "You don't have to be sorry. It was my fault, I should have said everything to you before hand, I should have actually said that I love you, I should have...."

As Min Jae was about to continue, he felt something soft touch his lips. He opened his eyes wide as he realized that Yu Qi was kissing him.

Before he could kiss her back, Yu Qi let go of his lips and said "I think we both are even now."

Min Jae looked at her bewildered. He touched his lips. He was still able to feel her sweet taste on it. He had thought that she wouldn't talk to him or something, but he hadn't expected that she would kiss him.

"Alright, Mr. Lee. Let's start eating. I'm hungry." Seeing him surprised, Yu Qi said.

"Hmm?"

"Let's eat." She pointed at the bowls of noodles kept on the tray. She crossed her legs and sat so that they could keep the tray in between them.

"Uhh... Yeah! Let's eat." Min Jae took the tray and kept it in between them.

Handing her one bowl, he took one. After eating, Min Jae was going down the kitchen to wash the utensils when Yu Qi said "I'll help you."

She took the utensils in her hand and walked downstairs before him. Keeping the utensils in the sink, she started to search for the gloves.

"Are you looking for this?" Holding the rubber gloves in his hands, Min Jae showed it to Yu Qi.

Nodding, she extended her hand to take it when Min Jae pulled his hands behind. She looked at him questioningly.

"I'll give the gloves only on one condition." Min Jae said.

"Condition? What condition?"

"I'll be doing the big utensils while you do the small ones." Min Jae said.

"But, you cooked, so the least which I should be doing is to wash the utensils." Yu Qi felt that it was way too much. Since he cooked, she thought it would be better if she washed the utensils.

"That's fine for me." Min Jae gave the gloves to her and he also wore one. "So, it's a deal. You do the small ones while I do the big ones."

He took two aprons from the lower cupboard and gave her one. Yu Qi took it and put it on her neck. As she was going to tie it, she felt him tie it for her. She said thank you and opened the tap so that the water fell on all the utensils.

"Won't you tie it for me??" Min Jae asked as he turned around showing her his back.

She took the threads in her hand and was tying it when Min Jae suddenly turned around. The threads fell from her hand and she looked at him surprised.

However, the moments her brown eyes met his blue eyes, she lowered her head and looked down.

Min Jae grinned as he saw her head lowered. "Now, tie it for me!!" He said while resting his hands on her shoulders. Taking the threads in her hand, she started to tie it for him. Since, they were standing a little away from one another, she had to move a little closer to tie the threads.

Removing his hands from her shoulders, he kept them on her waist and pulled her close "Now, you can tie them easily." He said as he bought her hands behind his back.

She took the threads in her hand and tied them. It was actually difficult for her to tie it because she felt his eyes on her. Her heart started to beat faster as she felt his breath from close.

However, after tying it, she pushed him back and moved to the sink. Closing the tap, she started washing the spoon when Min Jae stood behind her and took a bowl in his hand.

"Wha.. what are you doing??" Yu Qi asked surprised.

"Didn't I say that we would be washing them together??"

"You didn't say that. You just said that you will be washing the big ones while I do the small ones."

To be precise, Min Jae hadn't actually said that. But, he couldn't stay away from her, for even a minute. Therefore, he just made it up. But who knew that Yu Qi would be sharp brained and remember his sentence as it is.

"I know, I didn't say it, but..." He paused.

"Alright. Let's get started then." Yu Qi moved a little to the side and signaled him to continue.

Min Jae looked at her confused.

"Look, Mr. Lee. It's barely a day since we got married. You told me that you fell for me, and I know it's hard for someone to not control themselves in front of the person whom they love, but... you see... I...I" Yu Qi stammered as she tried explaining him.

"Well, let's just do it like this today. We both can stay on the side and wash them and next time or some other day, let's just do it the way you want, Alright??" She took a deep breath as she said that all in one go.

Lee Min Jae gave a nod and said that he was sorry and they both washed the utensils.

Now, after washing the utensils, Lee Min Jae wanted to show her the house, but Yu Qi said that she was tired and wanted to sleep, so they both got in the room together.

Standing at either sides of the bed, Yu Qi and Min Jae looked at one another. And then, they looked at the bed.

"You can sleep on the bed while I'll take the couch." Min Jae said as he took a blanket from the closet. Taking the pillow from the bed, he walked towards the couch and arranged the blanket and the pillow neatly.

"Good night." Saying her good night, he laid on the couch.

Yu Qi felt it awkward. It was his house and she was the one who was sleeping on the bed. Well, they even had a few kisses also, so what was the big deal in sleeping on the bed together?? It was not a big deal, they were even married now.

Clearing her throat, Yu Qi said "Umm... why don't we just sleep on the bed?? I will take the right side while you take the left one."

The moment, she said it, Min Jae quickly got up from the couch and laid on the bed. "Ahhh!!! It feels so heavenly." He said as he felt his body touch the soft mattress.

Seeing him lie on the bed comfortably, she quietly smiled. Then, she said "Let me advice you. There won't be any inappropriate touching. The way we are sleeping now, we would be waking up in the same way, okay?"

"Alright. Come and sleep. You said you were tired, so sleep." He said and turned to the other side of the bed.

Yu Qi laid on the bed. The bed was indeed soft. She felt wonderful as her body felt the soft mattress. Soon, she drifted to sleep.

Morning came by and Lee Min Jae scrunched up his face as strong light fell on his face. He opened his eyes as he couldn't bear the strong light on his face. As he was about to get up, he felt some heavy weight on his stomach.
