______________________________________________________

It's been a month of their marriage. Everything seems pretty unusual to both of them yet they are enjoying their time being different from their usual lifestyle.

After a big celebration both of them are living apart from their family in an apartment. Well apparently that is one of the apartment owned by Jeongguk's father, one of the rich businessman of South Korea.

Mr. Jeon and Mr. Lee is being business partners for years, more like brothers to each other. They decided to marry off their child when they were in high school. The trust in each other can be mainly said for the reason as well as some profits in their business can be said too.

Yiana denied the fact that she is going to marry one whom she don't even know. She didn't even tried to know more about Jeongguk whereas their parents tried a lot to get them along.

But it was different in case of Jeongguk. He was decent, hardworking and kind of shy from childhood. For having good looks and charming aura, girls kept drooling over him. His well defined body and the deep orbs of eyes never left one to get amazed.

But he never payed attention to those. And after knowing the fact that his future is already tangled with Yiana, he didn't look after any other person. Yes, it was bit hesitating for him at first but somehow he didn't even realized when he really started to feel some unknown, warm feelings for her.

When the morning sunrays escaped the cream tint curtains of window, it fell on his eyes causing him woke up from sleep yet a bit abruptly. Rubbing his eyes he turned towards his right, where she was sleeping peacefully.

Yes, it's been a month but they have never been close to each other. Sleeping in the same bed but still being distant to each other in such a small area. It's not like they don't crave each other's closeness or love but even the urge is being covered with some sorts of unknown feelings.

But maybe today it was different. The urge was getting deeper. But his shyself kept holding him back. He couldn't keep his eyes off from the sleeping goddess beside him. Messed hair all over her forehead and nape, with a slight pink cream tint on lips was making her state more alluring.

His stare didn't leave her collarbone, slightly covered with her honey brown hair. Tip of his fingers touched her cold skin. He tugged some of her hairs behind her ear. He noticed her pupil is moving.

You are dreaming? What are you dreaming? Is it a good dream or bad one? Won't you share that with me ?

He smiled at his own childishness.

If I give a slight kiss on your forehead and that somehow breaks your sleep will you be angry? Or will be happy?

He smiled and went close to her face. This is the first time he is been such close to her intentionally. His warm breathes were brushing her skin making her feel cozy in winter days.

He was now super close, on more inch, his lips will touch her forehead. For the first time he will really feel a slight satisfaction by showing his love through actions although she's deep asleep.

Maybe I will never have the courage to say that how much I love you but deep inside it is just increasing.

He closed his eyes, finally the heat of the moment is going to hit climax. But her abrupt move flinched him. He threw his body far from her and faced opposite.

Chest getting up and down, feels like he is lacking to catch his breathe. Heart is thumping crazily.

I don't have the courage to look at her..if she is awake! I mean if she understood that I was such close to her.. What if she gets mad, she don't like me from the beginning.

While he was in his own cogitation, faced opposite from her, he felt a cold hands sneaking on his waist under the blanket. It encircled his waist and fingers were tugged tight onto his cloth.

He couldn't move. Unknown sensation was hitting his every nerves. Feels like it was rush of hormones in his every blood vessels.

Such close to me. Should I face towards you?

Her hot and heavy breathes were touching his nape, making him nervous with every seconds.

He slowly turned towards her, facing her. Her hand still didn't left him. Moreover, she got a good access to hold him more close and tight.

"Koo I am cold!"

Giving a shiver through his spine, those words from her sleepy voice kept echoing in his ears.

He should do something to make her feel warm. But what should he do? Just take another blanket and tug her with that? Or should he hug her back and held her tightly as she did.

After thinking for some moments, he wrapped his arms in a decent manner around her. Making her more close to his chest, having her breaths on his neck.

He could feel it's turning him on. Yes, just her hot breaths. This is being sensuous to him as he never experienced such things ago.

Still he kept his eyes closed with trembling body. He can feel a peace in him, an unknown satisfaction was hitting his heart loud. A smile formed on his lips.

He felt him so cozy and comfortable while holding her in his embrace. He felt like he could hold her forever like this. He started to lure in the dark kingdom of sleep while having such warm feelings. Warm illusive touches and feels.

She opened her eyes, feeling herself warm, finding herself in his embrace. She smiled watching them in such state. It's unusual for them but it's unknowingly peaceful.

She slowly made her way out of his embrace and covered him well with the blanket. Weather is so cold but her heart is warm. She is happy . She is way too happy with him, it's more than she thought.

Taking some of her clothes she get into washroom to take warm shower. Everything seems pretty well to her, her new life is going well but one thing she is regretting still now.

They don't even went anywhere after their marriage. She really wants to travel somewhere far from Seoul with him. Only two of them. She wants to talk more to him, she wants to get close to him more.

When this boy will take me to travel anywhere? I mean it's already a month and he is working in his office. Such an unromantic fellow!

She pouted while water was pouring on her naked body.

Feels like I have to do something to make that shy boy a bit Romantic.

She chuckled thinking all that.

She went out of washroom. Standing in front of mirror she started to dry her wet hairs with the hair dryer.

Meanwhile, Jeongguk was awake . He opened his eyes and saw her doing her stuffs. But his stare stilled at her wet hairs. He couldn't but notice each and every details.

How some water drops were pouring down from her hairs towards her neck. He memorized her dark eyes, filled with happiness. His eyes captured her lips, which were slightly curved upward. She was smiling , was in her own world thinking about any stuff.

Suddenly she notices his gaze on her. It's not that she felt shy but she also felt happy. She wants to be noticed by him,
Wants to be loved by him.

"Now stop staring at me"

She said without looking at him which flinched him.

Again that nervous look. He moved his gaze, tried to hide his red face.

She giggled. Going close to him, she looked in his eyes. He took his gaze down, but that didn't went long as she held his chin and again devoured her gaze in his pitch blacked eyes full of tension.

"Hey! Don't get shy boy.. I am your wife"

She went close to his ears,

"You have the right to stare at me like that love"

She whispered in his ears. But that was not in a seductive way, it was more like heart melting voice of a little girl. That warmed up his heart.

He couldn't but smile shyly hearing that.

"Won't you go to office today?"

"No ... Actually.."

He stopped in between his words. His face tells that he is willing to tell something but he is guessing he should tell it or not.

Should I say that now? Or keep it a surprise?

"What? Why you stopped?" She asked looking at him.

"No I just took leave today. I am hungry actually..lets eat something first"

He smiled a heart melting smile.

" ok then.. What you want to eat for breakfast today?"

She asked while clearing up the bed. She is being doing household chores as she is in 3 months leave from her office.

"Let me order something today okay? You don't have to cook"

He took out his phone and started to tap on it. But after a moment he discovered his phone is not in his hand, it is in Yiana's hand.

"What?"

He asked her with arched eyebrows.

"Go and fresh yourself first then order anything else"

She said her in tone of ordering.

" okay let me just see the notifications of my games.."

He tried to take his Phone from her. But she refused to give him.

" please... I need to see them. I am at the last stage. "

He whined like a child, which made her smile but she tried not to show that.

"No ! Go and fresh up yourself first. Then you will get your phone. Be a good boy"

"Yah don't act like my mother.."

"Okay I can rather act like your mommy"

She knew this can make her win, he will surely blush and go away.

"Then please act sooner okay?"

Leaving her at shock, he said that. She was looking at him with a whole red face . She gave him the phone abruptly.

"I-I will order the food , you freshen up till then.."

She literally stammered out while talking and rushed out of the room while blushing severely.

Jeongguk could feel the weird sensation in his stomach after saying such words. He covered his face with pillow being super shy and regretting that what games made him to talk.

"I sounded dirty but it's only for game though"

He mumbled while cursing him under his breath.

"Ahhh... What she will think now! Whatever "

He left a grin and after checking the notifications, he went to do his morning routines.

Yiana ordered some foods for them. Well she is still in shock, thinking the way he just snapped her off being more pervert.

"This boy is dark horse.. or he just said that for games? Aishh this boy "

She left a big sigh while making the table for breakfast. She heard the bell rang.

"It must be the delivery man"

She went to the door and her guess was right. She took all the foods and after paying him, she served them in table.

Why he is still not coming?

"Jeongguk! Finished with your works? Breakfast is ready"

She called him and sat on the table waiting for him.

This is it now. This is how my life is now. It is much more good than the life I chose for myself. The way I struggled with sanghoon, he is such a bastard. I was lovesick then, being blindly believing him. Fleeing with him, denying jeongguk was my biggest mistake. Even now being with him, I can't forgive my own self for such thing.

She could feel a pain increasing in her heart. The stinging pain.

It's my lucky fate that he still accepted me without having any type of angst. Believe me koo, I don't know how to repay the respect you gave me. I am so grateful for that but please love me. I don't even know that you love me or not but I would've survive now without your love. I swear!

She could feel the tears at the edge of her eyes. Vision becoming blurry. She tried to gulp the lump in her throat and she heard the footsteps behind her. Understanding his existence, she tried to hide her tears. Curving a smile on her lips , she looked at him.

"Jeongguk! Come sit"

With a smile, she talked with him. He sat without responding anything. He was feeling a bit embarrassed for what he said ago but he is relieved watching that Yiana didn't mind him.

Only sounds of noodles slurping and noise of fork and plates could be heard. The silence was awkward. Eventually both of them couldn't found any word to say, keeping them in such a awkward positions.

Gradually they finished their food and after washing that up she was just thinking how to spend the day. On the other hand Jeongguk was fidgeting with his thoughts about how to tell her about the thing he planned.

While yiana was about to go their room, Jeongguk followed her too. Ending up in their room, he called her from behind having a huge pile of nervousness on his heart.

"Yiana!"

"Hmm?"

She turned back responding him.

"Umm.. I thought you might like it..."

He was looking down and fidgeting with his fingers, while saying that.

"Come on tell me! Don't hesitate" She went close to him.

" I thought if we go on a trip somewhere if you like... We will chose the destination as you like"

She was extremely happy hearing that from him. She was just thinking about a trip and it was actually a surprise for her to hear that from him.

"Really? I mean we are actually going to a trip?"

The glow on her face was completely different. She was giggling and just rushed to him and hugged him tight.

"Thank you koo! I would love to go, I was really craving to go somewhere with only you"

Jeongguk was also very happy watching her reaction. He could feel a satisfaction watching her reaction. And the way she hugged him, he just froze at his point. But very slowly, he wrapped his arms around her body and squeezed her slightly against his chest.

Being attached with each other for some moments, Yiana came out of his embrace . Her eyes met his one. They were lost in each others eyes. The feelings they couldn't express through words, they were exchanging through stare.

They were again falling in love with each other.

And this time, they could realize it. Very intensely.

But without realizing their gaze was stuck on their lips. He was pulling her closer. He was completely different person then. Their breathes going heavy, coming more and more closer to each other. His grip was hard on her waist, another one went on her cheeks.

His mind was then swirling with intoxicating scent of her body. Getting more close to each other, one more inch their lips with touch. Both of them closed their eyes.

The moment their lips were about to touch suddenly she frowned her eyes, keeping her one hand on her chest, she moaned in pain. Suddenly she could feel an unbearable pain in her heart. She was feeling dizzy, vision was going blurry.

"koo!"

Leaving a soft whisper, she blanked out in his arms.
