"You alright??" Min Jae asked Yu Qi with a hint of worry on his face. He turned to her side and touched her face with his hand. He wiped the tears which were coming out from her eyes. "Is something bothering you??" He asked when he saw her blood like eyes.
Yu Qi didn't say anything. She just looked at Min Jae who was asking her things out of worry.
At this moment, she wanted to kiss him and make him hers. But there was something called shyness which restrained her from doing so. Not saying anything, she just kept her hand on his hand which was touching her face. She caressed it.
"Thank you!!" She said and closed her eyes. This time, she wanted this moment to stop. She wanted to sink deeper and deeper in his blue ocean-like eyes.
Min Jae didn't say anything. Moving himself closer to her, he kissed on her forehead and caressed her face until they both fell asleep. He knew that she wanted to say something other than this. But, she wasn't able to. Yu Qi still wasn't sure of opening up to him completely. But, she wanted to say everything to him very soon.

Min Jae got up as he heard some knocks outside the door. Opening his eyes he saw that Yu Qi wasn't there. He heard some splashing noises coming from inside the bathroom. Getting out of the bed, he rubbed his eyes and opened the door. Mr. Song was standing at the door.
"Did you sleep well, son-in-law??" Mr. Song asked him with a polite smile.
Min Jae bowed to him and said in a respectful manner "Yes, I did!! Thank you for the warm welcome, father-in-law."
Mr. Song smiled and looked inside the room. Seems like he was searching for Yu Qi. When he didn't find her inside, Mr. Song asked "Yu Qi isn't inside??"
"She is in the bathroom."
"Ohh. Okay!! Once you guys are ready, come for breakfast. And also, take this!!" Mr. Song handed him a bag.
"What is this??" Min Jae asked looking at the bag.
"There are some clothes for you. I rushed to a clothing store early in the morning to get some clothes of your size. You might not like wearing the same clothes at night and also on the next day. That's why I bought you this." Mr. Song explained.
Handing the bag back to Mr. Song, Min Jae refused. "I can't take it. You didn't had to do that much, father-in-law. I'm okay with wearing the same clothes."
"No!! No!! You take it. I will be glad." Saying that, Mr. Song handed him the bag again and before he could hear any more denial from his son-in-law, he left. Min Jae closed the door and came back inside holding the bag in his hand. "Her parents really are... Ahh!! I don't have any words to say."
He looked inside the bag, a Sky Blue polo shirt and a Black cargo pant was kept.
He smiled at the choice of clothes. They were indeed of his choice. Yu Qi came out of the bathroom wearing a bath robe and a towel tied to her hair. She had completely forgotten that there was a certain someone staying with her in her room.
Usually, she had a habit of coming out of the bathroom with only a small towel wrapped around her body, thankfully, this time she had thought of wearing a robe. As she opened the door of the bathroom and came out, she saw Min Jae who was already looking at her.
"Y...you... Are aw...awake??" She stammered looking at him. Tightly clinging her robe to her body, she walked towards the closet and picked a few clothes which touched her hands and immediately rushed to the bathroom.
Min Jae laughed at her. She indeed looked funny while running, that too in a bathrobe.
A few minutes later, Yu Qi came out of the bathroom wearing a blue color midi skirt and white color t-shirt. She looked beautiful in it as the skirt highlighted her small waist and the color blue made her legs look even brighter.
Yu Qi sheepishly looked at him and then at herself through the mirror. She indeed looked breathtaking, thus, she noticed Min Jae's eyes on her ever since she stepped out of the bathroom. From the mirror also, she saw him staring at her. She blushed and immediately lowered her head.
It was embarrassing to look at him staring at her.
Min Jae mischievously smiled at her and went inside the bathroom. The reason why he was staring at her was because of the clothes. Yu Qi's skirt was blue and so was his Polo shirt. They had not actually decided it on wearing the same colors, it just happened coincidentally. And this made him think that God was surely helping them both come closer to one another.
Yu Qi took a deep breath as she saw him go inside the bathroom. By the time, he went her heart was beating rapidly and she felt that it can come out of her throat any time. She just casually walked out of the room humming.
Her eyes had not fallen on the bag lying on the bed. o_o
Going out of her room, she inhaled the aroma of various foods. Quickly walking up to the kitchen, she inhaled the scent of food deeper. "Mmmhmmm... smells nice, mom!!"
She said as she walked closer to where her mother stood. Different types of dishes were already cooked. Her mother was frying the chicken now. Picking one roll of chicken sandwich, she put it in her mouth. She said while chewing "Ahhh!! Mom, it is so tasty."
After savoring the taste, she was about to take another one when her mother hit her. "Stop it!! You will finish it all!!"
"Aren't they for finishing??" Yu Qi rubbed her hand and sneakily took another roll.
However, it didn't escape her mother's eyes. "That would be the last one." Her mother glared at her and continued frying the chicken.
Now, Yu Qi's eyes fell on the creamy vegetable soup. She immediately took a spoon and dug it in the soup. Filling her mouth with it, she moaned "Why do you prepare such wonderful savories ??" She asked her mother and took another spoonful of the vegetable soup.
Her mother grabbed the spoon from her hand and said "Wait till everyone reaches the dining table and you can have as much as you need."
"But I can't wait for that long." She tapped on her empty stomach. "See, it is empty. The sound is echoing." She explained her mother and looked at her with puppy eyes.
Her mother knew what was to come. She immediately diverted her face from Yu Qi and focused on cooking. Today, she was not going to be distracted by her daughter's puppy eyes.
When Yu Qi saw that her mother was not sparing her a look, she moved on to Plan B. And that was to talk in a childish way with those puppy eyes and a cute voice. It was the only aegyo attack which she could give to her mother.
"Pwetty please??" She asked in a cute voice that was enough for people to go aww at her.
Her mother looked at her annoyingly and that was when Yu Qi went on to her Plan C. She drew a heart with her hands and gave flying kisses to her mother. She really was a master in these aegyo tricks.
Mrs. Song felt defeated by her child's aegyo. She sighed and took a plate. In that she placed a bowl and added the vegetable soup, and in the plate she kept some fried chicken, a few chicken rolls and the creamy pasta which she had made specifically for her son-in-law.
As Yu Qi was busy savoring her heavenly food, Min Jae was busy in observing her keenly.
