Ae Ra got up as she heard knocks on the door. She was twisting and turning in his arms, but she didn't know when she fell asleep. 'Ahh! My second day and he didn't allow me to go. So reckless!' She thought as she got up from the bed and opened the door.
She saw Yu Shik standing with a McDonald's Bag in his hand. "C'mon, let's eat and then go out. We have an appointment with the wedding planner."
"Today?" Ae Ra moved aside to let Yu Shik come inside the room.
"Yes! That is why I didn't let you go for work today.." Yu Shik sat on the bed and took out the burger meals from the bag. He arranged the burger and the fries separately. "Come quickly. I bought your favorite chicken burger from McDonald's."
Ae Ra looked at him with an annoyed face. She dragged her legs on the floor and sat with a humph. "You made me miss my second day and now you tell me to eat?" Ae Ra stretched her hand to take the burger when Yu Shik pulled it away. "Fine! I will eat it by myself." Yu Shik grinned mischievously.
Ae Ra decided to not eat and play angry with Yu Shik, but her stomach growled. It was loud enough for Yu Shik to hear. He laughed at her. "You still don't want it?" He kept the chicken burger in front of her and teased her.
Ae Ra turned her head sideways and ignored him. "I don't need it!"
Yu Shik began teasing her more. He removed the wrapper of the burger and inhaled its scent. "Ahh!!! It smells wonderful!" He bought the burger near to her nose "If you don't want to eat, you can at least smell it." Ae Ra again got annoyed by him. "Humphh! You have it! I'm not hungry."
Yu Shik nodded his head and took a big bite from the burger. "Mmm! McDonald's really got good taste. I'm loving it!" He said it's catchphrase to get her attention.
"Alright, Alright! Give me a bite too. I am hungry." Ae Ra couldn't control her hunger anymore. It was now or never. She thought 'I took a leave for a day only, so it is fine.'
Yu Shik smiled and handed her the burger. "You are saying as if I was gonna starve you. Of course, I can't let my honey-bunny starve." He sat closer to her and looked at her eating. "You want some?" Ae Ra showed the burger to him due to his intent stare...
Yu Shik shook his head and just stared at her. "Is something wrong with my face?" Ae Ra asked doubtfully. She chewed her burger and touched her face with the hand which was empty.
Yu Shik again shook his head and stared at her without blinking.
"What is wrong? Why are you staring for so long?"
"I Love You!" Yu Shik completed his sentence and pecked on her lips. "I am truly sorry for what happened yesterday, I promise that I will always love you no matter what." He took out a small box from his left chest pocket. It was wrapped in perfect pink. A small note was stuck on it along with a small picture.
"What is this?" Ae Ra kept her burger down and looked at him astonished. She had her eyes only on the pink wrapped box. "It's for you."
"But, we haven't..."
"So what? Can't a couple give gifts to each other?" Yu Shik interjected her and gave the box to her.
"I didn't mean that. You already gave me one a month ago, what is the use of this now?" Ae Ra said as she took out a locket from inside her shirt and showed it to him. "See, you gave me this beautiful locket and it is still brand new."
"So what? I will keep on giving more till the day I die." Yu Shik said and rested his head on her thighs.
"Wait! What..." Before she could say more, Yu Shik held her hand and kept it on his forehead "Now, this is warm. Stop looking at me! Open it quickly. I want to see your reaction from down here." He pouted at her.
Ae Ra looked at the note stuck on the small box. A photo from last night was stuck on the note along with a few words. It read; "This picture will remind me of how much I hurt you and how we had reconciled. From your only Love, Mr. Choi Yu Shik." Ae Ra chuckled at his silly yet meaningful words.
"When did you take this picture?" She asked confused because she hadn't slept for a long while, it was just her eyes were closed.
"When you were asleep." Yu Shik simply answered and looked at the photo. "My clicking skills are really great!" He boasted.
"Whatever!" Ae Ra rolled her eyes and removed the pink wrapper from the box. A beautiful cream colored Swarovski box came in her view.
Na Ae Ra opened the box and a crystal three stoned ring came in her sight. It was so beautiful with the diamonds beautifully set beside one another. Though, the ring was simple, Swarovski was a very expensive brand which had a good quality. And knowing by the name, Ae Ra knew that this ring was an expensive one, worth hundred thousandths of dollars.
"What is wrong? You don't like it?" Yu Shik asked Ae Ra as he saw her looking at the ring with a worried expression.
"It is beautiful!" Ae Ra shook her head.
"Then put it on." Yu Shik said and took the box in his hand. He held out her left hand and inserted the ring in her hand. The ring shone brightly in her slim and slender finger. It looked like as if the ring was just made for her fair and slim hands.
"What was the need for such an expensive gift?" Ae Ra asked as she looked at the crystals shining brightly in her hand.
"What do you mean by that? My honey-bunny deserves more than this Swarovski ring." He kissed the ring on her hand. "When we get married, I will cherish you more."
