Few days passed by, thanks to Dr. Kang Kamou was coping up well. As Christmas approached days were getting peaceful. Juho would meet her everyday even if it was for a few minutes. Kamou understood he was busy due to his album release but he still insisted on seeing her. Just after New Year, he would be leaving the country for his upcoming tour and promotions.
A day before Christmas, on the 24th, Dara came spend two-day holiday with Kamou. Gina also came by for lunch on that day since she was celebrating Christmas with her family. The three ladies enjoyed talking over drinks till late in the evening. Juho didn't visit Kamou that day; he was busy working while Kamou enjoyed her girl time.
Christmas:
Kamou was in the kitchen preparing for breakfast, when the doorbell rang. She signaled Dara to go open the door. Dara sighed a little as she struggled to get up from her comfortable spot on the couch. She opened the door and Juho was standing there with carry bags in his right hand and a bouquet of white lilies in the left hand.
"Big sis, it's your lover." Dara shouted
Kamou came out rushing from the kitchen, a smile appeared on his face seeing Juho there at the door. She didn't expect him to be here this early.
"Hey kid, move it." Juho said to Dara. Dara moved a little so he could get in.
"You didn't raise this kid well." Juho joked shoving the carry bags in her hands.
"At least I don't show up at people's house unannounced." Dara replied.
Juho and Dara had met a few times earlier, they had grown comfortable around each other. Juho treated her well; to him Dara was like the sister he never had. Therefore, he made sure to annoy her, as every brother did.
"You two seem to be bonding well." Kamou said walking towards Juho. Juho handed her the flowers as he softly kissed her lips.
"Hello... Get a room you two. Can't you see I am right here.?" Dara said walking away with a disgusted face. Juho and Kamou couldn't help but laugh.
At the breakfast table, Kamou sat next to Dara waiting for food. Juho insisted on bringing the food over from kitchen as he wanted to help Kamou. Juho was carrying the food in his hand towards the dining area but he stopped on the way. He didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation; the topic made him curious. He could faintly hear them.
"Why don't you two get married already?" Dara asked, her tone was serious.
"Wait.... What?" Kamou almost jumped out of her chair.
"Why are you acting like this?" Dara smirked at her sister's red face. "He is perfect for you. How long do you plan on waiting?"
"It's not like I haven't thought about it." Kamou said blushing. "Isn't it too early, I mean it's only been a couple of months since we started dating."
"Sis, that doesn't even matter. Do you still feel unsure about him?"
"Dara, that not it. I know that if I ever get married, it would be with him. I don't think I could see myself with anyone else." Kamou said.
"So?" Dara.
"It's not that simple. I don't know if he is ready to settle down yet. You know how it is in the industry, what if our marriage has a negative effect on our careers. I don't want to risk his career. He has already done enough for me so I have left that decision on him. I am ready to marry him whenever he wants." Kamou explained.
A small smile appeared on Juho's face listening to Kamou talk. He tried to make a sound of his footsteps so the two could stop discussing any further.
************************
Dara was out with her college friends for the evening. Kamou and Juho also got ready to head out. Taehee was hosting a small get together for close friends. Taehee had requested Kamou to be there. It been a while since Kamou went to a party so she decided to socialize a bit. Juho's other friends were also going to be there.
At the party, Kamou refrained from drinking. It been a long time so her anxiety shot up a little. After greeting everyone, she made herself comfortable. Juho got her a non-alcoholic drink. His friends called him; he was reluctant to leave Kamou alone.
"Go. I will join you guys in sometime." She assured him.
Kamou started having conversation with the two women sitting close to her. Their names were Joy and Stella. She was busy talking when Stella's boyfriend called for her. Kamou received a text from Dara.
'I am too drunk to come back today. See you tomorrow morning.'
Kamou looked for Juho, as her eyes landed on him, he was looking at her. The light fell on his face, he was smiling at her. Kamou couldn't help but smile back. Maybe it was the atmosphere, Kamou wasn't able to stop admiring her boyfriend. He stood a little far; his friends around him. He would look at her from time to time in between conversations.
Kamou didn't realized how long she's been staring at him. As Juho talked to his friends, her eyes fell on his sharp jawline, his broad shoulders, his toned chest, his veiny hands, his thick thighs. The dark grey shirt with rolled up sleeves; it was turning Kamou on. Lustful scenarios started to pop up in her brain.
Her strong gaze made Juho look back at her. He could see a smirk on her face; her face was enough to make him aware of the thoughts she was having. As soon as their eyes met, he playfully winked at her. Kamou was caught off-guard. She avoided looking at him but Juho was now walking towards her.
'What's wrong with me? Why am I so horny today? It been long since we did something like that. Not that we often did anything in the first place. I could actually count on my fingers the times we did something more than a kiss. Is our relationship lacking?'
As Kamou was racing her brain, Juho stood in front of her. "What are you thinking?"
"It's... It's nothing." Kamou stammered.
"You sure?" Juho smirked.
