My Instant Marriage

Eunbi went downstairs as she saw Mrs. Lee was watching the morning program on television Eunbi sat down next to her on the sofa. Mrs. Lee switched off the television through the remote controller and asked, "Do you wanted to say something to me, dear?"

"Yes Eomeonim, tomorrow we are leaving to Jeju Island, for that I want to pack my belongings from my home so shall I go to my home?"

"Why are you asking my permission to go to your home? You go get ready I will ask the car driver to take you to your home." Mrs. Lee said.

Eunbi thanked her and went to Young-soo’s room. She brushed her hair, took her handbag, went downstairs, and got into the car. First she went to her college signed in the college register, collects her transfer certificate and the mark sheets, and got back to the car with an excitement to go to her home.

Once she reached her home she quickly got down from the car as if she returned back home to meet her parent after a decade. She entered into the home one of the house maids welcomed her with a wide smile. Eunbi gently smiled at her in return and asked her, "where is my omma?"

"Ma’am is in the reading room, young miss," the maid replied.

Eunbi thanked the maid and walked to the reading room. She slowly twisted the door knob, and opened the door gently and slowly to make her mother surprise with her presence. She entered and looked at her mother; Mrs. Yoon was reading book on the comfy and cozy reading chair. Eunbi tiptoed toward her on the maple wooden floor, stood behind her, and covered her mother’s eyes with her hands. Mrs. Yoon yelped in surprise, placed the book on her lap, touched the hands with her hands which was covering her eyes and said, "Eunbi-ah," in a happy tone.

She laughed as her mother identified her with the touch of her hands; she uncovered her hands of her mother’s eyes, stood in front of her, leaned down, and hugged her mother who was sitting in the comfy and cozy reading chair, "I feel so secured by hugging you, omma."

Mrs. Yoon broke the hug, cupped her face, and kissed her forehead, "Is your husband behaving properly with you?"

Eunbi nodded her head up and down.

"Eunbi-ah, d-did he force you for his needs?" She asked her with hesitation and paused for a few seconds, "do you understand what I’m trying to ask you?"

Eunbi knelt down in front of her mother, "omma I can understand what you are trying to ask me." She could sense that how worried her mother was, now if she tells the truth that Young-soo forced her to sleep with him at the wedding night it will hurt her mother for sure, therefore Eunbi lied to her mother. "No omma, he didn’t force me for his needs, he told me that first let us know about each other thoroughly, and then let’s think about the rest of the matters. So stop worrying about me omma, like appa said Young-soo is a gentleman, he cares for me a lot even he asked me to continue my studies."

Mrs. Yoon breath in relief, "that’s so relief to hear those words from you, but in future please tell me if he behaves improperly with you at any situation. Don’t hide anything from us thinking that it will make us worry, as a parent it’s our duty to solve our children’s problems to lead them a happy life," she advised her daughter.

Eunbi faked a smile on her face. "omma, you knew very well about me, right? Then why am I going to hide it from you guys, if Young-soo tries to ill-treat me I’ll inform that to you guys right away."

"Of-course I knew very well about you that you don’t hide anything from us, I believe you because you are my daughter. I’m scared that whether he’ll harm you by chance and threatened you to not tell that to anybody else. Eunbi, please forgive me for not helping you out from this marriage, please forgive your omma."

Eunbi stood up and hugged her mother once again and soon she broke the hug and said, "omma why are you asking forgiveness from me, when you hadn’t done anything wrong to me. I’m happy to get Young-soo as my husband, did you forget what appa said? I’m very lucky to marry him, so please omma don’t feel apologetic towards me and stop worrying too. You guys had chosen him as a groom for eonnie, because of his well mannerism, kind behaviors towards the elder, and gentlemanliness, only after knowing all these quality of him you guys has decided that he’ll be apt to be a perfect son-in-law of our family, am I right?"

Mrs. Yoon nodded her head, "yes you are right, but I’m scared and suspicious whether he has married you to seek revenge."

"He is not that type of a guy, omma. He really cares for me. Because of eonnie’s wrong decision I’m very lucky to get him as my husband. Omma, to tell you the truth it’s very awkward for us to share the same room and talk to each other I know it’s because we are in the beginning stage of our relationship. But I hope that we’ll gradually break the awkwardness in between us by getting to know well about each other. Omma you know what I always dreamed about getting involved in an arranged marriage. Because they say love comes after the marriage is the painful pleasure. Thank you so much for making one of my dreams comes true and also for giving me some new feelings."

While Eunbi was busy with organizing her clothes and accessories in wheeled trolley suitcases, one of the house maids came into her room with her permission and informed her, "Mr. Young-soo came and talking with Mr. Yoon at the downstairs in the living room. Mr. Yoon asked young miss to come and join with them in their conversation."

Eunbi nodded her head, asked the maid to organize the remaining clothes which was on the bed into the suitcase, and left the room. Once she reaches the living room at the downstairs the two gentlemen stopped their conversation and looked at her, Eunbi gave Young-soo an icy stare before she sat down on the sofa beside him.

"Have you finished packing your things?" her father asked her.

"Almost, appa."

"That’s good," her father nodded his head and gave them a gift box saying, "It’s my present for your wedding." The couple was surprised with his present; they stood down from the sofa thanked him by bowing their heads in unison in a respectful manner, and collected the present from Mr. Yoon.

Young-soo asked Eunbi to open the present. She did open the gift box in front of her father to see what the present was, and the box contains a brand new couple wrist watch. By looking at the watches he commented, "Wow~ it looks so beautiful, abeoji." Then Young-soo took out the female wrist watch from the box, gently grabbed Eunbi’s left wrist and wore that on her wrist. He undid the old watch of his wrist, outstretched his hand gently in front of her. Eunbi took out the wrist watch from its box, place empty box over the sofa, and wore the male watch on his left wrist. Once again Young-soo thanked Mr. Yoon for the present, saying, "I like it so much, abeoji."

Mr. Yoon nodded his head with a smile.

One of the maids came and informs Mrs. Yoon that the dinner was ready. After a while all of them settle down in the dining area for dinner, Young-soo sat adjacent to Eunbi, and her parents sat parallel to them.

Few of the maids served the food for them in the dining table. When one of the maids came near to Young-soo to serve him food, his heart beat raised as the traumatic incident flashed in his mind all of a sudden which he’s been kept secret from his friends and family members since from his adolescence. He held Eunbi’s hand tightly under the table she was annoyed with his touch and made a wry smile at him. He gulped down some water from the water glass; his vision was blurred and unfocused, as he tries to keep back the water glass on the table. His hands quivered, to his bad luck the water glass slipped out of his hand, fell down on the table, and the remaining water in the glass spilled out on the wooden table. All the three of them stopped having their food, and looked at Young-soo, Mrs. Yoon asked one of the maids to wipe off the spilled water on the table.

When the maid came to wipe off the water from the table, Mr. Yoon noticed Young-soo that he look so uneasy and sweating out of normal so he asked, "Young-soo, are you all right, son? Do you need any medical emergency?"

He swallowed the lump in his throat and managed to answers his father-in-law’s question, "No, abeoji I don’t need any medical emergency, thank you for your concern, and I’m sorry for the discomfort, I’ll be alright if I take some rest for a while."

"Are you sure, son?" Mr. Yoon asked him again to make it sure.

"Yes I’m sure, abeoji."

Mr. Yoon nodded his head and asked Eunbi to take him to her room.

He stood down from the chair; put one of his arms over Eunbi’s shoulder for support because he couldn’t see anything clearly. To his surprise she encircled her arm protectively around his waist, and walked him carefully to her room without any complaints.

Eunbi thought he was pretended as if he was sick in front of her parents and she was clueless to find his intention behind it. She controlled her anger and acted as if she cares for him to satisfy her parents that they are fine with each other. Once they reached into the room she locked the room door, un-wrapped her arm of his waist, and pushed him away from her. "Will you stop your act now no one is here in this room except us? You told me that today you will not interfere in my business then why did you come to my home?"

He tried to stand straight, looked around the room, walked towards the bed weakly, and lied down on the bed without answering her question.

She was too annoyed as he lied down on her bed without her permission. She marched towards the bed, "yah! Who gave you the permission to lie down on my bed, I told you to stop your act, and now get up from my bed, you con-artist." She yelled.

He just grabbed one of her hands, pulled her onto the bed she losses her balance and fell down next to him on the bed, and he hugged her tightly. She struggled to get free from his hug, but he demanded her to stay still just for a while. Eunbi melted down for his demand as she saw the tears rolled down from the corner of his closed eyes, because she had never seen a well grown man shed tears in front of her before, and it led her to realize that he was not pretended to be sick he was sick for real so she let him hug her. After a few minutes she felt the he stopped tremble and he was sound asleep, she un-wrapped his hand of her waist, slowly get down from the bed by making sure to not wake him up. She stood next to the bed looked at him and wondered, what caused him to sick all of a sudden as though he’s saw some kind of a ghost. She quickly shook off her thoughts and thanked God that he just stopped only just with hug without taking any other further advantages from her. She went to the bathroom wash off the disgusted feel he just gave her through the hug without her permission. After the shower she packed the rest of her belonged things in the suitcases then took the pillow and blanket on the bed, lied down on the couch in the room, covered her body with the blanket, and fell asleep.
