2. Honeymoon News

"You didn't do what?!" My mother in law practically screamed through the phone, making me cringe my face.

"I couldn't talk much.. He saw my dress and makeover but he had no reaction..." I said pouting. Not that she can see it. But still.

"Aigoo... I liked you because you're so naive and everything but seriously right now I really wish you weren't. USE YOUR BRAIN WOMAN!"

I huffed, "What am I supposed to do? He doesn't like me!"

"Make him like you! Men are all the same! They all want the same thing!"

I rolled my eyes but she thankfully doesn't see it, "I can't just walk up to him and do that! He ignores me. He seriously acts like I'm not there."

"What about at night?"

"Same thing. He goes straight to bed and he doesn't budge from his position either." Me and him are the same kind of sleeper, we both stay at the same place while sleeping. Although I kind of wished one of us was the messy sleeper who tosses and turns all night. Then maybe I had a chance to get closer to him.

"Idiot." I heard her mumble. "If he doesn't move then you do!"

"Me? But by now he knows I'm the same kind as him. How can I suddenly do that.. "

"Ugh. Do I have to teach you everything?! Fine I'll come today. I'll make sure you guys get along."

"HONEYMOON?!" I practically screamed in surprise as my husband looked totally calm about it. He must have been expecting it sooner or later.

After the phone call with my mother-in-law, she kept her word and came to visit us. Thankfully she didn't bring my mother. It's already very awkward business, she doesn't need to add to the list. However I didn't know my in law was going to talk about that, that's why i was surprised. Somehow the idea of honeymoon didn't cross my mind at all.

"Yes, honeymoon. Your father was telling me the other day. His health isn't that good, besides we're all getting old anyway. Who knows how long we'll live. Maybe not long. That's why, it's mine and your fathers wish to see our grandchild before we leave this earth. Is it an unfair wish? Tell me, son. Won't you do this much for me? Huh? Won't you keep our dying wish?" I have to admit my mother-in-law is very convincing.

Dying? Who's dying? Didn't she just get that facial massage the other day? Tch. If i didn't know that through, I'd actually pity her. Her acting abilities are first class.

Instead I focused on my husband, his face was calm and blank. I thought he'd be atleast worried, did he see through her act too?

Or could it be that he doesn't have emotions? Maybe he has some kind of psychological disorder? Maybe he's a robot! Or an alien?!

"If it's fathers wish, I'll go on the honeymoon." He said in a tone i couldn't recognize. I didn't like it.

My mother-in-laws face however, lit up as soon as he said those words. "Offcourse! I'll bring the flight tickets! Where do you want to go?"

"Wherever." he said. Again, i didn't like the tone. It made me feel very irritated. Like he's secretly insulting me or something.

"Allright. I'll book tickets to bali or jeju or something, by tomorrow. Thank you son! You've made me very happy." My In-law was grinning ear to ear.

"Sure." He said in that irritating tone again, with a blank face. He's agreeing to go with me, why am I feeling so annoyed then? I should be happy. But I just feel like I'm making things even more unhappy for him. Is there any cure to his blankness? I think I'd feel a little better if I see some emotions on his face. If he was unhappy i wish he would show it atleast.

"Eat timely, and remember to watch your diet! You can't get fat at this moment. It's important to stay fit. Understand?" My mother warns me.

"Yes mother." I reply with a polite facade when inside I'm rolling my eyes. I can eat whatever I want.

"And don't forget to take care of your husband! You're going on honeymoon. Don't give him any trouble."

"Offcourse mother." I'm seriously getting annoyed now. What is this? Why am I so impatient suddenly? I've lived with her for the past 20 years, I thought I'd get used to her by now. Who knew right?

"All the passengers boarding to flight 2278 Royal airlines to Bali please check in at.... "

"We have to go." My husband spoke suddenly. Due to his lack of presence I almost forgot he was here and I'm actually not going to my honeymoon on my own.

My mother hugs me once again with strange emotions in her eyes. She mumbled something like "Our little girl grew up so fast" as she let me go.

I look at my mother-in-law to say goodbye when she yanks me forward by my arm and whispers in my ears,

"Don't forget what I taught you. You have to seduce him no matter what!"

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about my real mission. After she convinced leo to go on this honeymoon trip she gave me an entire day long lesson on how to seduce Leo once I'm there. It was... Interesting. Half of the things I'm pretty sure I could never pull off. Offcourse I couldn't say that to her and crush her dreams so I just nodded and said I'll do it. Honestly, I'm scared. I don't have a problem with having a child, I've always wanted a kid. But I'm not sure if I want one with someone who doesn't care about me. I'll just go ahead and be honest I've fantasized about my marriage, honeymoon, and.. You-know-what like every other girl in the world. I've dreamt about raising a child together like any other couple.

However after marrying Leo all my dreams went down the drain. Now all I think about is how to simply converse with him and does he even have a soul?

Strange, I know. But one can't really blame me for having these thoughts. No matter how hot he is or how good his six pack is I don't think I'm ready to do it with him yet. I have no feelings for him what so ever and it feels like living with a robot when I'm with him.

I silently follow Leo through the boarding process and into the aircraft. The whole time he marched forward, I was behind him following like a lost puppy. It was my first time flying abroad and I didn't really know what to expect. Also the fact that Leo never once turned back to check if I was following him or not made me nervous how I'll survive in a completely new country. What if I get lost? What if he leaves me there and comes back to korea on his own and gets married again? Will anyone miss me?

"Sir and Maam, your seats are just right there." A pretty air hostess says pointing at two seat in business class. I was so lost in thought I didn't notice when the air hostess approached Leo and helped him find the seats.

Leo swings the backpack off his shoulder and marched off to his seat. He puts his bag in the bag compartment and sits down in his seat, immediately grabbing the earphones and playing something from the mini screen in front of him.

I slowly follow his trail and open the bag compartment as well but it was too high and my bag was too heavy with my laptop and all. I look at Leo for help but he's staring right ahead into the screen. No way, I can't ask him. He'll probably be really annoyed. He already thinks of me as a burden.

I try to lift the bag and get on my tiptoe but damn I'm still too short! Why the hell am I so short?! Ugh. Can I just throw it in? I was just about to try that when suddenly a pair of arms grabs the bag from my hands and I find myself staring at a dimpled smile and a pair of warm chocolate brown eyes.

He easily put my bag in and looks back at me, still smiling.

"T-Thank you. " I manage to say, suddenly having trouble to breath.

"No problem. I'm hongbin. You?" His voice was charming.

"I'm - " Before I could answer, the flight attendance interrupts me.

"Please sit down, the belt sign is on. We'll be taking off shortly."

I give hongbin an apologetic smile before quickly sitting next to leo. To my surprise though, hongbin sits on the seat right across.

"So your name is...?" He continues.

I somehow felt happy he was taking such interest in me, I thought I was going to be so bored and uncomfortable but I'm seeing a ray of hope.

"Miha. I'm Kim Miha."

He startles me by letting out a chuckle, "What kind of name is Miha?"

I get that alot, but the situation with Leo must have made me extra stressed so I reply sassily, "What kind of name is Hongbin?"

It just leads him to laugh more, "I was only joking. But FYI Hongbin is a completely normal name."

"Who decided Miha is an abnormal name then?" What am saying? This is so not like me. He just helped me out I should be grateful.

He smiles, "It's not abnormal but it's not common. Is there a history behind that name?"

"Not that I know of." I reply honestly.

"How old are you, Miha-ssi?" He asks.

"20. You? "

"24. I'm in restaurant buisness."

"Oh nice. I'm... I used to study history. " ugh now I have to explain my whole life story because he's going ask me about "What did i mean by used to".

"Cool. What's your favorite food?" What? Isn't he interested in why I'm not studying history anymore?

Before I could reply the pilot interrupts me again,

"Please pay attention to this safety drill.. We'll be taking off right after this... "

"Miha-ssi Let's talk properly after the flight takes off okay?" Hongbin flashes his dimples once again before slumping back to his seat while I look at Leo, who was staring into space, before doing the same.

Thank god Hongbin is here or it was going to be a long seven hours flight.
