Chapter 73 - Together

"Jin-Ae, where are you?" Sung-Ho wasn't able to get the sight of Jin-Ae in her room, therefore he contacted her through a call to get to know about her presence.

"I'm in the backyard," she uttered from the other side of the phone, and hurriedly with the timely steps he touched the space where the sight of Jin-Ae glittered him, making me spread his lips into a wide smile.

"So, here you are," he muttered and got closer to her presence where she was perched on the chair, being suitable but of course, she was going through some kind of book as it was glimpsed on the table nearby.

"Yeah," she mumbled and connected eyes with him, and it happened to her too, grinning.

"What are you doing here alone? and where are others?" he inquired about when noticed no one's presence in the mansion.

"Everybody is out to work," she replied, keeping eyes on him for the whole time.

"You should have called me then, I would be here at the same time, you still need to look after," she smiled at him and squeezed his cheeks while wrinkling her fronts.

"That's why they left," she spoke

"What do you mean by that's why they left?" Sung-Ho asked while adjusting the chair closer to hers.

"Considering you by my side, they don't need to worry.." she was cut off by his giggles, as he sensed something to be happy about as he thought these words were owned by Jin-Ae but it wasn't the case.

"....dad said like this and I couldn't help but spend time with you," now it was her, giggling.

"Oh," he mouthed and cupped her face in the big palms of his, "So we are alone!" he uttered with the not so similar tone of his, as it soon made her, wrinkled her brows.

"What's wrong with that?" she asked while zeroing her eyes, "What do you mean by alone?" she added and paused for him to continue with the justification or imagination he was building in his head.

"I mean...." he seductively smiled at her that she didn't return but doubtfully question him with those sights of her.

"....Um like no one could disturb us, that's what I mean," he justified the untruth he just uttered in front. "Oh, I was thinking something else," Jin-Ae thought of teasing him a bit, which was soon working on him, as he tilted his head to the side, questioning her by throwing a different expression to her.

"What something else?" he questioned her about her thinking.

"What you think," she asked while licking her bottom lip, and her actions caught his attention of him, his eyes travelled to the lower lip of her, he hissed while eyeing her behaviour, "What?" he said still eyes fixed on the bottom lips.

"Something we never did," she was holding back on her laughter, as watching his expression, it became an enjoyable sight for her, therefore she thought of continuing with the plan of teasing him, "What we never did?"

"Think," she pretended cool as quickly his expression turned wild in the sense of thinking something dirty and contemplated his actions, touching her lower lip with the tip of his thumb.

"For that, you have to wait, you aren't in that state to have," not wanting to speak something she wouldn't be comfortable around so he indirectly directed to their first time with the word "have" and then not being able to hold on anymore, she laughed so hard that it confused him, as he moved back from the spot, eyeing her while tilting his head.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"What were you thinking?" she raised the question too and raised both the eyebrows together while smiling in his direction.

"What?"

"I am hungry, so I wanted to ask you for something edible," she said in between of her laughs, as he groaned internally and wrinkled his face with annoyance.

"There wasn't any need to make it so dramatic, you could have asked it straight," Sung-Ho said while getting frustrated by her behaviour and got upset with her, as he stood up without any words, but before he could put on the next step she pulled him by his wrist, which soon heightened their breath, as it seemed that he was kinda towering over her.

"What?" he asked as he struggled to stand up but her grip around his waist didn't let that happen, and he didn't strive hard to get away because he didn't want to undermine her unintentionally.

Raising his brows, he seemed to ask her but without any further utterances she smashed her lips on his with closed eyes, it seemed romantic when her hands travelled to his neck, being wrapped around, and with the realisation, he soon tightened the grip around her waist and by another hand, he caressed her hair, acting caring for her.

Watching her energetic in this romantic scene, he smiled in between and then pulled away, preventing any further moves of him, to make things hard for her as she wasn't healed properly from the injuries she got in the accident weeks ago.

She smiled and eyed his expression of grinning while cupping his face.

"I love you," she confessed and pecked his lips for the last time.

"I love you too," he too confessed and pecked her forehead, stroking her hair back and putting the strands behind the ear.

"Let me make something for you," he said and stood straight, in addition, she nodded.

"You wait here, I'm coming in a while with something delicious," he let out with the grin appearing on his face and walked away from her sight. She too, grinned watching him from behind.

Looking for the ingredients, he thought of making healthy soup for her as he thought that she needed to eat nutritively food.

Done with the ingredients, he got ready with the soup in about the time of 15 minutes and poured it into a bowl but got interrupted by the buzzing of the phone on the dining table, he joined his brows and sensed that it wasn't his handphone, therefore he didn't pay attention when it stopped ringing and walked towards the way to the backyard but then again his steps interrupted with the phone buzzing.

This time, he thought of picking it and he did as he eyed it was Jin-Ae's cell phone.

"Hello?" he said and paused for the moment to hearken the voice from another hand but it seemed that no one seemed to speak as it last the same for past moments, so he grabbed the phone after hanging up on the call and moved closer to Jin-Ae, watching her reading the book.

"Here so your soup," he said loud enough to catch her attention from steps away.

She giggled, seeing him in the apron for the first time.

"Serve it please," she said in a loud tone and waited for him to appear nigher.

"What you made?" she questioned and then saw the hot soup was poured into the bowl.

"Oh, looks delicious," she complimented and passed him the smile which he returned beautifully while grabbing the space besides.

"Wait?" he lightly slapped the hand of her which caused sudden pain, "Ahh!" she whined and held the hand with another.

He hesitated and instantly apologised, taking her hand and blowing it with love and caressing her hand carefully.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," he let out with a dreadful expression on his face which soon spread the wide smile on her face.

"That' doesn't hurt much, it's okay," she tried to comfort him as his expression was upset.

"I'm sorry," again he apologised and kissed the back of her hand.

"Alright, I will accept your apology if you feed me," he giggled and nodded with the grin on his lips. "I will," he mumbled and again pecked the front of her hand.

He started to feed her, watching his actions carefully, not to hurt again but then again the phone buzzed and their attention got hooked.

"Someone is calling for three times now," he said and implored her to accept the call.

She nodded and did.

"Hello?" she uttered and did the same as him, paused for the voice to appear but when it didn't she speculated of hanging up on the call however soon stopped when she paid attention to some female voice coming from another side.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"Jin-Ae? it's me," the woman from another hand spoke, which made her think hard, yearning to recognise the voice but after thinking for moments when she didn't make it, "I don't know you, who?" she joined her eyebrows and soon widen her eyes when she seemed to recognise the voice.

"Mom?" she mouthed and straightened her back with the realisation that it was her mother, who called her after ages.

"Mom?" they two spun when some voice fell into the environment and then they saw the presence of Ji-Hoon appearing in the same space.
