Chapter 34 - Grandma's birthday part 1

Lu Jinho kept looking at her for a while before he finally went to sleep. Lu Jinho knew he wouldn't be able to sleep but he didn't want to waste the opportunity of her being by his side so he slowly but intentionally came close enough to be able to hold her just a little bit.

"Well, as Kay said, I can't be so sure about tomorrow might as well take a chance today".

He came close and wrapped his arms around her slightly so she won't be alarmed. But as soon as he wrapped his arms around her, she snuggled into his chest as she had already been expecting him to do what he did. Still shocked but happy with her response, he closed his eyes.

I woke up in the morning and I felt a hard surface underneath my head and a particular scent that made me want to go even closer to.....I immediately opened my eyes just to see that I was actually lying in Lu Jinho's arms. I closed my eyes shut. I wanted to stand up but his grip was pretty strong so I couldn't escape from it and the funny thing was my arms were also wrapped around him.

'Aishhhh Suri....how did we get into this kind of situation'. I was cursing myself in silence when I finally felt him move. I was glad that he was finally waking up so I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Lu Jinho was surprised that he actually slept. It wasn't extra because he woke up a couple of times in the night but after that, he slept so soundly that his body felt so new and fresh. He couldn't fathom what was happening because this was the first time in almost twelve years that he actually slept.

When he tried moving, he noticed Shin Suri around his arms. He looked at her for a while and smiled and then gently tried to remove his hand from underneath her head and put a pillow instead. After doing that, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.

"It has been forever since I last had such a night. But I didn't take pills and even my pill never made me feel this relaxed so what could it be?"

As soon as he said that, he sat straight and tilted his head towards the left.

"No way!! That's not even possible, is she a drug or something".

As soon as I heard the bathroom door close, I sat upright and sighed out loud. I had to get out of the room for now. But when I got to the door, something struck me.

"Wait, if I leave, he'll feel I know what happened and it was probably my fault so no way, I can't have another uncomfortable scenario".

I went back to the bed and lay down. When I heard the bathroom door open, my hands around the pillow tightened.

"I know you are awake. Open your eyes already".

I opened one of my eyes and I saw him looking directly at me so I closed them right back. I heard him chuckle but I still didn't open my eyes.

"You need to get ready, we are going out".

I opened my eyes and looked at him. To be honest, for some reason, he looked even better today than ever before.

"Where are we going?"

"Out, we are going to get you things to wear for grandma's birthday".

"Ohh right".

I took a quick shower and I dressed up to go out. I didn't wear anything extravagant, I only wore a brown body-hugging gown that was a little bit above my knee and a pair of flat shoes. When I came out, I noticed that Lu Jinho was no longer inside the room so I assumed he would have decided to wait for me downstairs.

I picked up my purse and went downstairs. On getting there, I realized everyone was already sitting in the living room. After looking for Lu Jinho with my eyes, I found him and went to sit next to him right after I paid my respect to all the adults who were present.

"Oh my darling Suri, you look amazing in that dress".

I looked down instinctively to see what I wore and though I didn't see it as anything out of the normal, I wasn't one to ignore compliments.

"Ahh, thank you, grandma".

"Alright everyone, let's have breakfast".

"Sorry grandma but we are heading out, I don't think myself and Shin Suri can eat with you today".

He said that and took my hand in his and started walking out. I couldn't help but think that he was getting too used to holding my hand. I pulled my hand away from his and went back to grandma. I went close to her and whispered in her ear.

"Grandma, you look way younger than you did yesterday. I almost thought you were a year younger not a year older".

She began laughing in an elegant yet beautiful way and I smiled back at her. After she had stopped laughing,  I bowed a little and said.

"Happy birthday grandma".

"Oh thank you, darling". She came close and placed both her hands on both sides of my cheek.

"Ohh such a wonderful gift you are my darling. Thank you so much".

She gave me a warm hug and I could tell she was sincere.

One thing I know about old women is that they always wanted to be told they looked younger than their age and for Lu Jinho's grandma, that was in no way a lie so I just used the obvious to my advantage.

"I'm happy you are happy grandma".

She said nothing and simply nodded so I bowed and went back to meet Lu Jinho.
