After the exertion of their day and the evening, the two people finally enjoyed their dinner later, much later in the night before falling asleep tiredly. In the depths of the night, Yu Seok lay on his back and studied his sleeping wife. His exhausted, sated wife—who had also exhausted and sated him. The minutes ticked by as he studied her face and his eyes glittered with a possessive light.

She was like a witch who had bewitched him, he would walk through fire for her, sell his soul and more for her.

​​

And it didn't really matter if she did not really feel the same for him or understand this feeling, because he himself did not understand why he felt what he felt.

Sliding deeper into the bed, he gathered her, who had slipped away from him in her sleep, into his arms and felt her warmth sink to his bones. Felt her turn to him in her sleep and curl into his arms. Trusting him so deeply.. As his body relaxed, he slowly slipped into dreams of a world where they would be together a a family.

Yu Seok woke the next morning—at dawn, reaching for his wife without even opening his eyes. It seems she had again slipped out of his arms during the night.

But, this morning, all he found was cold sheets.

"What…?",he muttered and, lifting his lids, and his head, he confirmed that the bed beside him was indeed empty. Stifling a curse, he half sat and scanned the room. There was no sign of Eun-a.

Cursing freely, he flung back the covers and stalked to the window. Opening the pane, he pushed back the shutters. Dawn was a glimmer on the distant horizon. Abruptly shutting the window on the morning's chill, he turned back into the room. Scowling ferociously.

"Where the devil did she go?"

Determined to get an answer, he hauled on a pair of shorts and a t shirt and strode out of the room. Looking around he checked that everything was where it should be. He opened the door and stepped out looking at the vast green fields and checked that there were no vehicle tracks also.. Nothing was out of place except for his wife.

He was about to stomp away to look around the house when he caught a glimpse of the note that was stuck to the door. Walking to it, he pulled it out and stared at the lines. His eyes widened and for the first time in his life, Yu Seok's mouth fell open in shock.He did not think he had ever been accused of being cute.. But this note said a simple line, "I LIKE YOU.. Because you are so cute." He looked around and tried to gauge where his errant wife could be, and if she was playing some sort of a prank on him. Just then his eyes fell on another note, tucked under a flower pot. This time it was in an envelope. The envelope said, "I knew you would find it! Follow the numbers to me.." He opened the note and smiled a small smile this time rejoicing in the contents of the note.. His wife, it seemed was confessing to him, "I LIKE YOU.. because you are so hot, sexy and good looking."

Finally after an hour of searching and finding the notes tucked in almost impossible to imagine places, Yu Seok collected all ,but one, of the notes in his hand, a wide grin on his face. He had never expected Xie Eun to do this. And he had never expected that a personality like him would actually cherish these little things. In a morning, she had given him the world..

Yu Seok looked around trying to figure out if there were any more notes and where they were hidden. He was almost dying to hold his wife in his arms. Just then an arrow swished past his head, startling him. Immediately on alert, he looked around and then felt his eyes widen even more. The arrow was stuck in a tree and it had a note pinned to the tree with it's point. Instead of taking the roughly made arrow, his wife was really talented that she had made such a thing, he looked in the direction the arrow had come from.. but could see no one there. Pulling the arrow out of the tree trunk, he glanced at the note and he felt as if he was about to combust of happiness. He wondered how he was going to ever do justice to such a confession. Xie Eun had left behind all the romantic ideas he had planned to propose to her so that they could marry again with proper fanfare.. Finally he caught a glimpse of the blue denim and white skin, hidden among the branches of a tree. He ran to the tree and looked up into the eyes of his wife who was hanging upside down on the branch, with her knees hooked on the branch. She smiled at him and when he had reached close to her she shouted, "Yu Seok!!!I LIKE YOU because I LOVE YOU!!! And now catch me.."

Rushing forward, Yu Seok caught his wife in his arms and even before she had screamed for the fall, sealed his mouth to hers, hugging her tightly to himself. In that moment, he had felt his heart almost leap out of his chest when she had let go, the same way the first time it had happened.

A minute later, they came up for air and Yu Seok confessed,"Eun-a,I love you.. I have loved only you in the past, love only you in the present and will love only you in the future. Forever and Always. Thank you for loving me back.." He kissed her again, taking her mouth in a passionate kiss, putting all his surging emotions into the kiss.

Just then a loud rumble sounded through the otherwise silent atmosphere. The two people broke away and Xie Eun looked down at her stomach with a frown(cursing it for breaking the atmosphere) while Yu Seok gave her an indulging grin.. He slid her down his body slowly and suggestively and said, "Let's satiate this appetite first and then we can handle the rest.."

Seeing his teasing look, Xie Eun scowled a bit and said,"What appetite?" Smiling in a teasing way, Yu Seok controlled himself from laughing at her some more and flicked her on the nose,"Cme on, you hungry cat.It is nothing to be ashamed of. I did not feed you well so naturally your stomach has to protest.Xie Eun scowled and before she could say anything, Yu Seok had turned around. Seizing her chance, she let him walk abbot further and then ran a bit and jumped onto his back. Expecting this from his mischievous wife, Yu Seok automatically grabbed her by placing his hands under her thighs, carrying her at a jog.

It was only when he had already started walking, did Xie Eun realize her mistake.Last time, she had been drunk but this time, she was aware of everything about him. His slightly rough hands were clenched over her bare flesh,holding her to him. This position brought to her mind their similar position last night when her legs had been around his waist and she felt herself heat up. Even though he carried his wife, Yu Seok was careful to not crush the little notes that she had left him and held them carefully all the way to the small house.

Once inside, Xie Eun immediately jumped off his back and raced into the nearby bathroom trying to protect herself from giving him an opportunity to tease her again. Yu Seok grinned at his wife's antics, wondering if he would always have a smile pasted to his lips with her around him and went in to check the ingredients in the kitchen. He had instructed the staff but had not bee able to check if his orders were followed well. Satisfied, he took out the flour and tray of eggs, starting to make some deviled eggs and a batch of savory waffles. It was something that he thought that she would like eating so he had specially tried a recipe for her.

When I'd run came back, her face was a normal tone but her t shirt was wet,indicating that she had washed her face a bit messily. Yu Seok casually glanced at her and then motioned her close.The moment she was withing a hand's distance, Xie Eun was picked up and placed on the kitchen counter. Stepping between her legs, Yu Seok growled at her,"Baby, are you trying to tease me to death?"

Xie Eun frowned at this accusation and was about to protest when she realizes that his gaze was stuck somewhere else.. Her throat dried as she realized that washing her face had made her mistakenly turn her t-shirt see through.and his gaze was making her shiver... The heated eyes of the two people met and Yu Seok slowly stepped back before saying,"Let me feed you.."

Xie Eun who was about to protest then realized his meaning as he picked up a sliced fruit and placed it in his mouth before holding her by the neck and fusing their lips together.
