My Instant Marriage

Eunbi looked so thoughtful about his chest-box in the airplane while traveling from Seoul to Jeju Island. When the stewardess announced the passengers to fasten their seat-belts through the microphone as the flight was about to land. Eunbi was in her own world by resting her chin against her palm. Young-soo poked her arm with his index finger she gazed at him and asked, "what?"

"Fasten your seatbelt the flight is about to land."

She nodded her head and fastens her seatbelt.

When they reach their house she enters in first and Young-soo followed her. As her thoughts was full and fully on his chest-box and she was upset that she missed the right chance to know some secrets about him she didn’t notice that her room was closed, thus she bumped against the room’s door.

Young-soo quickly made her look at him and massaged her forehead with his palm, "don’t you saw the room was closed with its door?" I’m watching from the flight journey that you are in your own imaginary world, and I can’t guess what are your thinking about, is something bothering you?"

She wanted to ask about it to him but as she thought how rudely he behaved with her when he saw that she took his chest-box without his permission, she was scared to ask him. Instead she just shoved his hands off of her forehead, "nothing, I was in a hurry to enter in the room so I didn’t notice the door."

He felt insulted therefore he apologized, "I’m sorry I didn’t mean to touch you."

She nodded her head in understanding. And before she enters her room he asked to show him their wedding album. She asks him to wait at the entrance of her room, and then she gets into her room. She pulled open the wooden cupboard took out the wedding album from the bag and gave it to him, "I totally forget about the album because of my father’s sickness, anyways thanks you for managing with your lies to your mother as if you saw the album."

"No problem I can understand your situation," he said and went to his room. He sat down on the couch in his room and saw the wedding album. As his mother said the pictures was came out well but he could see that both of them were seemed to be loveless in the pictures as far as saw. He felt guilty for marrying her by looking at his wedding album; it just remains him how selfish he was to marry her without considering her feelings. He closed the wedding album without looking at it fully and put it inside the unwanted files rack of his cupboard. He looks at the bracelet around his wrist and murmur, I’ll make cherish your life Eunbi, we’ll get married once again and give some happy poses in front of the camera with love and affection.

As days passes both of them spend lots of time together in the evening at their house to know more about each-other; Eunbi stopped going out with her college friends instead she preferred to stay with Young-soo during her free times.

He helped her to do the college assignments, clears up the doubts which she has got in her subjects. In addition, he bought some books related to her subjects from some of the good publications which are much easier to understand, so that she could gain more knowledge, and it helps her to score good percentage in her upcoming internals and semester exams.

One night while they were having the dinner in the house Eunbi appreciated Young-soo after tasting his preparation, "Young-soo, your cooking skills are amazing the squid soup tastes so good and I love it."

He lifted his brows and asked her with curiosity, "Do you really love it?"

She made a thumb up sign while having the spoonful of rice along with the squid soup.

He gave himself a few appreciate pats on his shoulder, "now I’m feeling so proud of myself for preparing some delicious food. Eunbi, you are really lucky to have me as your husband to eat my daily preparations."

Eunbi laid down the stainless steel chopsticks roughly on the table. He looked at her with bewilderment, "what happened, did I say something wrong?"

She flashed him an annoying glance, "Look Young-soo let me clear about a thing in between us. Don’t ever mention again that you are my husband in front of me anymore unnecessarily, because it just bothers me a lot to hear that word especially from your mouth. According to me you are just my friend, a friend who is living together with me in a house, is that clear?"

Young-soo felt so humiliated. He thought that his relationship was getting better with her, but after hearing such things from her he realize that his thoughts were wrong. He just nodded his head, "I’m sorry I’ll not repeat this again."

Eunbi smirked at him, "it’s okay you don’t need to apologies like a school kid for each and everything. And, will you stop looking sad now? I don’t want to see this side of Young-soo again because it doesn’t suits you. I always wanted you to look so friendly, and cheerful."

He chuckled low under his breath, "Omo! I never knew that you know how to tease others."

"What~ I’m not teasing you I just said the truth," she expressed. His eyes twinkled with mirth as she imitates him the way how he has apologized to her a few minutes ago. A smile plucked at the corner of his mouth and then both of them laughed together. They broke down in tears with happiness and wiped tears off from the corners of their eyes.

After the dinner they took the plates and the other dishes from the dining table and put it in the kitchen sink. Young-soo wears the apron and the rubber hand gloves to wash the dishes, Eunbi stood beside him, "Today I’ll help you out to do the dishes." She said and wears the apron and the rubber hand gloves.

Young-soo declines her help, "No thanks, I can manage it by myself you go to your room and study."

"My second internal exams are got over today, so I need to relax my mind for a while you soap all the dishes I will wash them in the water." Eunbi replied.

"Your wish," he said and soaps the plates first and gives the soaped dishes to her one by one. She washes it off with the help of the water and places it carefully on the dish drying rack.

While washing the dishes Eunbi asked him, "don’t you felt exhausted to prepare the dinner and do the dishes after spending some tiring hours at your office?"

"No I’m not exhausted because I always wanted to do some of the household chores like a commoner. You would have wondered why we are living in a not so luxury house. And the reason is I once told my mother that I wanted to live in a non luxury house like a commoner and that’s the reason my mother gifted this house to us. My mother always makes my wishes come true, I’m so grateful to get her as my mother, but in most of the time I’ve missed her so badly because since childhood I’ve been in a distance relationship with my parent. I did my schooling and graduation by staying at the hostels. After my graduation I don’t like to take handle our families business, I always wanted to go to some decent job and work as an employee. But when I think about my father’s hard-work, and his efforts to run our families business successfully on what my great-grandfather has started. I just gave-up my desire and decided to help my father to lessen his business pressure. But he doesn’t want me to take loads of business pressure in my shoulders; he wants me to enjoy my married life which he had missed the most. That is why he asked me to take handle only the Jeju branch, and we shifted to Jeju Island because of my father it was planned full and fully by him not me. I love my parents a lot and I’m ready to go to any extent to make them happy, and which is why I accepted to take over only our Jeju branch according to my father’s request." He explained by soaping the dishes.

As Eunbi heard that they moved to Jeju Island because of his father and Young-soo’s zero involvement in this matter she doesn’t know what to say. She felt apologetic to humiliate him in the airplane in front of the other passengers on that day when they first travel together from Seoul to Jeju Island after a few days of their wedding. She silently washes off the one last soaped dish in the water and then said, "So we shifted to Jeju Island because of your father you were not involved in this matter it was full and fully planned by your father."

He washes the rubber hand gloves in the water without removing it from his hands and said, "Yes."

Eunbi wanted to apologize for the misunderstandings but as she thinks about the ghastly things he’s done to her she doesn’t wanted to apologize to him. She just dries the dishes one by one with the help of the dishcloth and gives it to Young-soo. He organizes the dried dishes in the dish rack of the kitchen cabinet.

Young-soo was clueless that why she was maintaining silence all of a sudden. As they finish drying and organizing the dishes in the dish rack, they undo the aprons together, hang it on the apron holder one by one, and walk towards their rooms. Young-soo doesn’t want to get into their rooms and go to bed soon because it was a Friday night after all. He wants to spend some more time with her together in the living room so before he enters in his room he asked her, "Shall we watch some movie?"

She turns and looks at him by raising her brows together, "now, at this hour?"

"Yes."

"Where?"

"In our house, I have lots of movies in my external hard drive and you choose any one of the movie which you like the most." Young-soo said with full of an excitement.

His excitement makes her smile, "like mother like son. That day in Seoul at your home, your mother asked me to watch movies with her in her room and today you are asking me the same. Do you guys love to watch movies that much?"

"Of-course, we love to watch movies. Usually my mother and I used to watch movies during our free times in the cinema theaters or at our home, and sometime I take her out for shopping, restaurants, and trips. She always treats me as one of her friend." He said and connected the external hard drive to the television.

She smiled at him, "Your father told me that you are a mama’s boy and now I believe that what he said was true."

They sit down on the sofa together by leaving some space in between them. "Of-course I am, what is wrong in that to be a mama’s boy." He said proudly, and gives the TV remote controller to her. He asks her to choose any one of her favorite movies which have been listed in the TV.

She nodded her head with a smile and takes the remote controller and scrolls down from top to bottom and as she sees ’a walk to remember’ movie she asked him, "how about ’a walk to remember’?"

"Yeah, let’s watch that." He said.

She selects that movie and presses the play button.

After that, they watch the movie silently. And in ten minutes Eunbi fell asleep on the sofa. Soon he notices that she was sleeping. So he reduces the TV volume, "oh girl, why did you agreed to watch movie with me if you are so tired," he pauses for a few seconds, "you are such a kind-hearted person you couldn’t deny anything if someone requests you to do something, I respect your kindness, Eunbi." he said in a monotone voice. He doesn’t like to wake up her, therefore he goes to her room picks up the pillow and a blanket of her bed, and returns back to the living room. He hesitates to touch her body and make her lie down on the sofa properly because she’s warned him several times that he should not touch her unnecessarily without her permission. Thus, he just covers her body with her blanket, and keeps the pillow next to her on the sofa. As he switches off the TV she wakes up and asks him, "why did you switch off the TV, was the movie ended?"

"Yes, the movie was just ended, that why I switched off the TV," he lied to her not to disappoint her by saying the truth.

"I’m sorry, Young-soo. I fell asleep by watching the movie because it was a tiring day, otherwise I would’ve watched the full with you without falling asleep next to you."

"You don’t need to apologize because you didn’t do anything wrong, now go to bed before you wide awake, let’s talk tomorrow morning, goodnight." He replied.

She nodded her head, "Good night, Young-soo." She gathers up the blanket and the pillow carries it to her room.

Young-soo walks behind her and gets into his room.
