"WHAT???" Ah-Yeong glared at him angrily.
When Sang Hoon noticed her angered expression, he quickly waved his hands and began to elaborate.
"What I mean to say... is that... it has almost been three months since our marriage and we have been sleeping in separate rooms... it was always my wish to sleep together in the same room with you." As Ah-Yeong eyed at him feeling weird, he again waved his hands and said "Don't worry! We will keep a pillow in between."
When he still got that awkward gaze from her, he finally gave up and said "It is up to you. I don't want to force you."
Sang Hoon gave a deep sigh after he completed his words. It really was difficult to explain especially when her eyes were only on him. Ah-Yeong kept her hand on her chin and thought for a while. After that, she agreed.
When he asked her which room they will sleep in, she said that she wanted to sleep in his room and Sang Hoon quickly left to his room.
After Sang Hoon left, Ah-Yeong closed the door after her and she walked to her bed to pick up her pillow. When she was taking her pillow, her eyes fell on the white legs of hers and she quickly rushed to the dressing table.
Staring at herself in the mirror she opened her mouth wide in shock.
"WHAT??? I STOOD IN FRONT OF HIM WEARING THIS???" She asked herself and looked at the night gown which was barely covering her body.
The thin strap had already fallen down her left shoulder...
She looked sexy in this.
And then she chuckled thinking about Sang Hoon's expression.
"So, he blushed because of this... Haha! Stupid!"
The reason why she accepted his wish was because it was the last wish which she could fulfil for him. After the divorce, she no longer had to see him therefore, she accepted his wish.
For a woman who always had her heart for Dae-Hyun, it was not at all a problem for her to sleep with someone else because she was confident that her heart would not fall for anyone else other than him.
With an agreeable smile on her face, she quickly changed into a loose white t-shirt and black pyjama. Holding her pillow she walked out of her room and knocked on Sang Hoon's room.
****
Sang Hoon who had already changed into a night wear, cleaned his bedroom, replaced the bed sheets and pillows with new ones, sat at the bed thinking of what had actually happened and how this happened.
His entire body began to shake with anxiety and he sat there biting his nails. Before she entered, he rushed to the washroom and took a deep look at his face. His hair was neatly pulled to the side, balm was applied on his lips, and he also applied a perfume so that he could smell good.
But no matter what it was going to be, he knew that she would stay at the other end of the bed while he would stay at another end. He looked at the bed which was huge to provide space for as much as three or four people.
"Sigh! I wish that she starts sleeping in my room starting from today onwards."
But that was just a wish. When he sat on the bed, he heard a knock and he answered with his heart beat increasing rapidly. He wondered why his heart started beating so fast... until now it was calm but it just felt like it could jump out of his chest anytime soon.
Sang Hoon was still shy to look at her because he had thought that he would see her in the night gown which she had worn and when his eyes actually landed on her, he no longer was shy but a little disappointed.
Well, men do have desires, don't they? After all, they too are human beings... He wanted to have a better look at her in her night gown. Realizing that it never was going to happen, he grunted and sat back on the bed.
He felt some rustling sound nearby the other side of the bed and he looked to his side. "What are you doing?" He asked when he saw her keeping a pillow in between.
"You sleep on that side and I sleep over here. This is okay." Ah-Yeong said while smiling and laid down on the bed. Sang Hoon shook his head. Well, this was what he had also said that they would keep a pillow in between. He regretted on his stupid words and rested on the bed.
*Tick-Tock* *Tick-Tock*
The time kept on passing by and other than the ticking of the clock and heavy breathings, he didn't hear anything. He had expected that maybe they would have a conversation or at least say goodnight to one another.
"Are you asleep?" Restlessness took in and he asked almost in a soft whisper.
When he heard no response, he turned over to her side to look at her but all he could see was her back and ofcourse, the pillow. He took a deep sigh and said in a voice somewhat loud enough for her to hear if she was awake.
"Good night, Ah-Yeong!"
