December Kiss (Part 4: Sad Eun Young)

This is just an imaginative story.. never take it too serious… moreover, too personal…

The sun slowly rose. That summer was getting hotter and hotter. And if we found another sun, there was be between Minho and Eun Young, because now they felt in love. Minho slept on Eun Young’s lap so soundly. Seemed he forgot about his last hatred to her when she seemed very aggressive kissing him in the public that made Minho very embarrassed.

“uh.. where am i??,” Minho opened his eyes slowly and he found whom he saw 1^st time was Eun Young… while sleeping soundly also. He slept this dawn on her lap.

He got up carefully so that she wouldn’t wake up… then he sat beside her whom still sleeping.. he just stared at her deeply..

“My.. my.. I really love you, Eun Young… but how come you admit me as your 1^st love?? i even don’t remember about my own past.. moreover about us.. if you really said so,”

Minho still stared at her.. until finally he dared to touch her lips.. Eun Young then woke up..

She rubbed her own eyes… Minho smiled at her gently…

“morning, Imja (my girl).. thanks for the lap..,” he said

She opened her eyes fully, and smiled back to him,”Morning.. Minho”, and got up, but Minho held her hand..

“just stay here,” said him

“perhaps… you might be hungry??,” asked her, pointed out to the kitchen

Minho then got closed to her..and kissed her so gently until she’s blushing again..

“it’s still in the morning.. ah.. I should make breakfast,” Eun Young tried to get up.. but again Minho held her hand..

“just stay here… will ya??,” said Minho again

“but… ,”

“but what?? I really want to stare at you for a long time,” said Minho still with smile.

“anyway, it’s sunday morning.. you don’t have to be in a hurry,” added him again

Eun Young was a bit worry because her father would be home on Sunday morning.

“my father might be home this morning,”

“Oh,” Minho just was a bit surprised, then he got up from his seat.

Eun Young stood up,”I must prepare for breakfast.. don’t go so quickly”

But Minho hugged her,” Hey.. did you feel hurt when a half year ago.. I said to you.. that I hate you??,”

She was in doubt answering it…

“why just keep quiet??,” asked Minho,”Just tell me the truth”

“um… yes… ,” replied Eun Young shortly

“ I was just too emotional at that time,” said Minho,”I am sorry.. I realize that.. I was actually very jealous with Ji Young”

Eun Young smiled at him. At the first time she didn’t know that Ji Young is Minho’s friend. Anyway, she just admitted that boy as a buyer. Last time finally she knew from Ji Young’s mouth himself. Minho told her that actually Ji Young wanted her just for a while, when Minho told him about her. Minho told the truth his conversation for several times with Ji Young about how Ji Young would get her as girlfriend. Eun Young listened to what Minho told. She was surprised when Minho told her about his imagination between Ji Young and her… also between him and Eun Young.

Eun Young closed her mouth for being surprised. She never imagined that Minho would dream about her too much. Minho just smiled sheepishly to her.

“Will you forgive me?? Sorry if I made you cry,” said Minho again. He rubbed her cheeks gently… and with soft sight.

Eun Young smiled at him so cheerfully again, holding his hand which still on her cheek,” don’t worry, Minho.. I just a little bit cried at that time.. “

Minho released his hug to her.. and stared at her again deeply..

“Am I.. really your 1^st love, Eun Young??,”

Eun Young was so nervous answering his question..she held time, seemed it run so slow.. Minho waited for her answer..but bet, she was afraid Minho would be sensitive again

“uh.. umm.. I guess so…,” she answered with confusing face

“just guess uh??,” asked Minho with his curious face, still rubbing her cheek gently.. trying to find out what her answer completely

Eun Young became more nervous.. her heart was beating so hard.. her breathe was getting heavier than the last..

“ah.. I don’t know, Minho.. it might.. just my bad memory,” she pretended to avoid it.. she really always knows and remembers that Minho was the 1^st boy she kissed at that Christmas night, but again.. actually, she is such a sensitive girl.. she is still in deep feeling for what Minho said about hatred.

“Lie to me,” said Minho, responding to her words.

Eun Young giggled and waved her hand, showing her avoidance expression,”Aigoo.. really I suddenly not remember at all, Minho”

“well.. okay.. let’s remember it again,” Minho grabbed her hand and asked her to sit down beside him.

Then he pull out a book behind his cardigan… it’s a novel “December Kiss”, written by Eun Young herself

“My novel??,” said Eun Young, so wondered

With relax and eager expression, Minho opened it,”Ye.. it’s your own novel.. I’ve read some pages.. but haven’t finished it yet.. wonder if our story would be like in this novel or not“

“I like this page.. you really described me perfectly,” he smiled at her

Eun Young giggled to him and denied for what he just said,” Anieyo (no), Minho.. I met you on 24 December… it was just… I imagined myself again if someday we will meet again,”

Minho huddled her,”want make it like a real story??,” turned his head to her.

Eun Young stopped her giggling and stared at him,”Minho.. it’s bad”

Then he opened it. In that novel, on the 1^st chapter, Eun Young described herself as Kyung Hee whom really kissed a boy called Minho at their 5 years old. Then she told her ill mother that she just kissed her imaginary boy on the snowy terrace and dreamt someday she would meet him again as his prince. Her ill mom just giggled to her and made her sure that Kyung Hee someday would meet  her prince, also at the same night. But in another chapter, it was written that… they really met again on 24^th December .. at Christmas night, then Kyung Hee kissed Minho at in front of the big light decoration tree… and then… Minho would hate her, until his friend would take her away from him… there… on another chapter.. there would be fight between Minho and Kyung Hee’s father.. until Minho would be so sad and they might break up.. because of the meddle of father… but then.. Kyung Hee would never be with Minho at in the end of that novel..

Eun Young stared at Minho..

“what makes you staring at me like that??,” Of course Minho was confused with her attitude towards him

“ I realize… the story begins,” said her with a half empty gaze

Minho just mumbled. He thought if it’s the beginning then he would anticipate for the last chapter: when Eun Young’s father disagrees with their relationship and still keep it going on, whatever happen.

Eun Young really didn’t believe for what he confessed this morning, that he would take care of their relationship, as again, he ever said before they commit it that he hated her. She just again, could stare at Minho with a bit empty gaze, but inside her heart, she must have believed Minho would keep his promise about his love to her.

“Hey.. do you hesitate me??,” asked Minho with smile

“ah.. I wont … perhaps I wont,” replied Eun Young

Minho put her head leaned on his shoulder, he smiled.

“once I fall in love with someone.. I will try my best to not hurt her.. and perhaps.. she wont hurt me either.. it’s not easy for me to keep it longer.. so I will be my best..,”

“Thanks, Minho.. I really appreciate it… ,” said Eun Young with her soft voice. Minho huddled her for several minutes, then..their stomachs sounded..

Minho laughed at her,”damn bad.. I am really hungry..”

Eun Young stood up and she went to the kitchen. She saw clock was at 9 A.M.

“I wonder when Appa will be back home.. afraid he will come soon after from another town,” she muttered meanwhile cooking.

Meanwhile, Minho was looking around her house. He was amazed of the design of it. He muttered in his heart that he hasn’t found any kind of between old and modern design, he wondered who made it so that rang his bell to it.

Then he walked to Eun Young and sat on the kitchen.

“I wonder.. who made this design of your house??,”

“My father.. ,” replied Eun Young

Minho praised her father. He asked her what her father’s job was and she answered that her father is an architect. Minho was really fascinated.

“then.. I bet.. your father must be a great architect,”

Eun Young giggled while still cooking. She said that his father is just an ordinary lecturer. Minho couldn’t believe, he learns about design and architecture so that he was really amazed when he saw walls, pillars, full of old Korean ornaments but also mixed with modern baroque style.

“fascinating… ,” he murmured.

Then Eun Young came towards him with some foods on the plate.

“I just serve this,” she said.

Minho smiled at her, he said thanks that she cooked for him.

“so.. I guess… your Appa must be a great architect,” he smiled again.

Eun Young asked him for eating 1^st because she several times heard his belly’s sounds so loud. Minho was shy and he ate those foods zestfully

He liked the food, Eun Young asked him to eat much until he would be full. But Minho was so flirty to her until she giggled several times in the meal time.

“please eat it… ,” Minho chuckled, tried to feed her

Eun Young was so shy.. she never thought that Minho would be very romantic.

“Aigoo.. Minho.. I don’t want… euh,” she was very spoil with him. Minho even laughed so loud for what her shyness

Eun Young tweaked his ear, Minho moaned but then kissed her.

“chu,” and he laughed at her. Eun Young was getting very shy to what Minho did to her.

“eh.. you are very nice when you are blushing, Imja,” said Minho with soft voice to her.

Being treated like that Eun Young really stunned, didn’t know what she would say nor do. Minho smiled at her gently, then really kissed her softly… deep kiss..

But… there was someone stood up in front of them when Minho kissed Eun Young with romantic..

Eun Young realized it.. Minho ended his kiss..

“Appa..,” said Eun Young with confusing sound.. she was aghast that her father came without giving any news to her..

There was about 50 years old man, 170 cm height, quite good looking, with glasses and manful face. Minho was startled, they didn’t happen in with each other.

“Ma Yeon Woo??,” said his heart, still startled, and ever a bit panic.

Eun Young got up from her kitchen chair,”Appa.. mian haeyo,”

With straight face expression, Ma Yeon Woo said to his own daughter, who Minho was.

Minho bowed to him,”I am Lee Minho..,”

“I guess I know you,” said Yeon Woo with cold expression.

Minho was really pounding, he never imagined that … his dean is Eun Young’s father!

“I am 3^rd grade of architecture,” his  voice a bit tremble

“ ah.. I see.. no wonder, I ever saw you,” said Yeon Woo still in same expression

Eun Young a bit spoiled and chuckled to her father.

“naega namjachingu, Appa.. fufufu,”

“Mannaseo bangabhabnida.. ,” Minho still bowed to him, introduced himself to that man.

“okay.. nice to meet you.. Lee Minho,” replied Yeon Woo..

“I am sorry if I dared to come by to your house,” said Minho again

Yeon Woo replied that it’s okay for him if there’s her daughter friend wants to come to his house. But Eun Young felt so guilty to her father. Minho felt the same.

“For how long have you been knowing my daughter?,” asked Yeon Woo to Minho. They sat front to front in living room

Minho was really awkward answering it,” Ah.. actually… since last December.. “

“I guess.. you are a university student?? I ever saw you,” said Yeon Woo with a bit cold expression

Minho nodded,” Yes.. I am.. and I know you as the dean, Ma-ssi”

“Don’t be too awkward to me,” said Yeon Woo, now was a bit smiling to Minho. Minho nodded. Then Yeon Woo asked him several question, including about subjects that Minho took for this semester. Minho tried to relax answering all his questions. Ma Yeon Woo is a kind of cold and serious person. Since his wife passed away, he becomes so taciturn man. He just could speak important matter- of course in his opinion. Actually it makes Eun Young as his daughter so gloomy, because she was actually a cheerful, brave, optimistic girl. Since her mother died, she becomes cold, yet even though she will be so cheerful, actually it’s just a fake. Minho notices her character, that was what he thought several days ago. Minho was so jealous why Ji Young could have her, meanwhile he had imagined her several times on the bed. It became so bloody cold and got hot tempered hided when Ji Young told him many times again and again about his relationship with Eun Young.

Minho’s blood became so hot, full of jealousy, really wanted to grab Eun Young from his best friend, Ji Young. Since yesterday he has her, but.. it’s really different when Ma Yeon Woo was in front of him.. talking with him by his cold words, lack of emotion and expression.. Minho felt.. this man is actually full of trauma by loosing his beloved wife and his girlfriend-Ma Eun Young- is also a victim of her father’s feeling towards life.

Minho still tried to relax, he didn’t want be beat by his own awkwardness. Eun Young couldn’t speak much in front of her father.

“So.. is your study good??,” asked Yeon Woo

“Yes.. thanks to God.. I have no difficulties coping with subjects,” replied Minho positively.

Yeon Woo unfold his leg, he tried to relax too, but Minho saw him doing it as the expression of a little bit dictator.

“Just do your study better.. anyway.. you are in 3^rd grade, right?,”

Minho nodded again,” yes.. I am, Sir”

Yeon Woo then turned his head to his own daughter,” Well. Eun Young.. it’s a surprised for me, you brought your friend here.. I came early because my business has done and so far it’s good.. we will have another book store and also online store.. so.. you must be ready to learn how to handle them.. “

“Yes, Appa.. I am glad that Appa has won what you want,” Eun Young’s voice became so soft and obeyed him

Yeon Woo took a little breathe,”Business is not easy.. so I gues.. you’d better consider thinking about special relationship”

“Ye, Appa.. I will do it,” replied Eun Young. She must obey his words and commands.

Minho saw it as a pressure. He was sad seeing Eun Young from cheerful girl becoming a sad one. He becomes so pity for her.

“Actually… you are a gloomy and sad girl, Eun Young.. ah,” said his heart.

“Well.. Minho.. I am off from here.. thanks for our nice conversation,” Yeon Woo stood up. Minho abruptly stood up too and bowed a bit to him

“Thank you very much, Ma-ssi,”

Yeon Woo then got into his room, Eun Young followed him. Minho wasn’t upset at all to her, he knew that kind of guy really likes to be served.

“I .. must go to my father’s room.. excuse me a bit, Minho,”

Minho smiled at his girl, also he still bowed to Yeon Woo until that guy got into his room, and followed by Eun Young.

In the lonely time, Minho thought hard about his girl. He covered his mouth until he could felt his own breathe.

“Poor Eun Young.. I thought she was a cheerful girl. Anyway, honey… that makes me want to hold you always..,” he muttered.

After about 15 minutes, Eun Young was out from Yeon Woo’s room

“Ah.. sorry waiting you so long, Minho…,” she smiled at him

Minho stood up, smiled at her and kissed her gently..

She couldn’t say anything than,”Minho..”

Minho touched her lips by his point finger,”ssh.. are you afraid of your father??”

Eun Young was quite for a while.. unexpectedly, she cried in silence voice.

Minho hugged her,” ssh.. don’t dry.. I am on your side”

“You.. won’t.. leave me, right??,” she sobbed in silence.. trying to hide her cry.

Minho rubbed her back and stroke her head,” don’t worry.. ,”

Then he wiped off her tears on cheeks,” be cheerful.. I love cheerful Ma Eun Young”, then he kissed her lips again. Minho held her hand, out from her house.

Eun Young escorted until her veranda. She seemed know Minho was so not in the mood and she thought Minho also would be uncomfortable with him.  Minho felt so awkward when he knew Ma Yeon Woo is a influenced dean in university. As that very important position, Minho thinks Ma Yeon Woo might trait himself.

“I am sorry, Minho… If my father really made you uncomfortable just now,”

Minho smiled at her,” ah.. don’t take it too personal.. later I will call you and please be good for me,”

Eun Young nodded surely,” Ye.. I will”

Minho then wore his helmet, smiled at her and waved his hand, said farewell. He rode his bike in 100 km/hours… felt like racing… to his home… his heart was beating hard…

“None knows that she’s a sad girl.. none knows her misery.. Eun Young… I love you,” said his heart, when he speed up so fast

Arrived at home, he didn’t too much talking, just said “Hi” to his mom. His mom asked him where he went last night.. even yesterday was his birthday. Minho just answered he came by to Ji Young, to have a little birthday party.

His mom didn’t ask him much, then Minho got into his own room. In there, he called Eun Young.

“Are you okay, honey??,” asked Minho with soft voice

“Ya.. thanks a lot, Minho.. ,” replied Eun Young with cheerful voice

“We must talk about your life someday, Eun Young.. I really wanna know you more,” Minho smiled on the phone.

Eun Young replied again cheerfully,”I really want to know you more too, Minho.. perhaps we could go to fantasy land and then we could talk much about us.. how??”

Minho was cool responding to her cheerful attitude,” I will arrange it.. “

But then, Eun Young was a little bit lower her voice ,” Mian haeyo, Minho.. if my father really made you disappointed,”

“Don’t think about it nomore, Eun Young… I still owe you to my own present.. for my birthday,” replied Minho,” cheer up for me”

Eun Young became cheerful again,” ah no..Minho.. yesterday’s your birthday… so I must give a present to you.. how??”

Minho followed her emotion, he then chuckled,”Ow really? What do you wanna gimme? Hehe”

Eun Young thought hard,” eww…”

Minho cut her imagination,” stop stop.. enough the kiss like on December.. that kiss.. ummm”

Minho’s face became blushing.. where as.. he wasn’t in front of Eun Young.. his heart beat so fast.. he couldn’t stand with his own desire to hug, kiss her..

“huff,” his voice of resist on his desire.

Eun Young in there was confused, she heard his swishing,” what’s going on, Minho??are you unwell??”

“Anieyo (No)! ,” Minho cried

“then?? Why are you swishing??,” asked her again

“Stupid Eun Young.. I hold my bad desire to you, uff,” replied Minho, he was busy scratching his head

Eun Young really didn’t know what and how to say. She had made Minho was lustful for her beauty and her attitude.

“ah.. I must be off.. take care of yourself.. tomorrow, I will go to your store,” said Minho again then he hang his phone off.

Eun Young just startled when Minho did it,”Minho… is.. really my 1^st love.. “

She sat on the veranda, there were some flowers blooming beside site she sat..

She was pensive.. thinking about her relationship with Minho.. in front of those blooming flowers..

“O flowers.. I really want Minho beside me, always.. I am alone,” she mumbled. She squatted, fold her knees, watching all those flowers.

She touched one of them,” your tenderness.. same as Minho’s heart”

In his room, Minho laid down on his bed.. he got headache..

“Uff..,” he sighed and sighed.. back and forth his body, left, right, left right.. he was really worried about his own feeling to their relationship and also his own lust.

“Ah.. that Ma Yeon Woo.. he is such a very strict dean.. never reached in my mind that Eun Young is his daughter… ,” he closed his face with pillow.

“uff.. uff,” he just sighed and sighed.. thought hard..

Then he saw his mobile, opened picture of him and her with laughing faces.

He was pensive,” Eun Young.. I am in love with you… if you admit me as your 1^st love.. whether it’s true or not… I don’t care”

“perhaps.. your father allows our relationship,” added him.

“Minho.. please listen to my prayer,” Eun Young sat on her chair, in her bedroom..

She prayed solemnly… hoped for her best relationship with Minho.

“ you cant be with that Minho.. but not too serious,” said her father after Minho went to his home.

“Appa.. I and him are just falling in love since yesterday.. please, Appa.. naega Minho salanghabnida,”

She knelt down in front of his father. His numbness really tortured her feeling.

“Appa.. I beg you,”

Yeon Woo just kept quite. He is such an obsessive man  to his own daughter after his wife died. He doesn’t want to loose her. Actually, many boys and guys see Eun Young as a very beautiful girl, want to get closed to her. She several times fell in love and had boyfriends.. but all are ended up so sad.. broken heart.. because his father’s possessiveness and obsessive.

Eun Young cried in deep after Yeon Woo got into his workshop room. She stared at her father so deep… but actually sad..

She sat on the sofa.. closed her eyes, covered her face, she cried in deep silence..

“Minho.. please love me.. please help me.. ,” she sobbed in silence..

Minho in his room still was busy thinking of her.. his eyes were becoming mellow, wistful.. wishing he could hug her gently… but also, he saw that Ma Yeon Woo seems never agree with them. Minho was so worry…

To be continued to part 5….
