"What the?" I stand mortified in front of a cheap looking "restaurant" as I turn back to glare at Leo and Jinhee. I thought Leo was rich? I thought we're going to a 5 star restaurant? But then what is this run down old looking place?

"Well.. You only got your husband to blame.. I told him I'd get him a booking at Mozaoc restaurant gastronomique, the botanical restaurant but he insisted we eat at a local restaurant. The more local the better." Jinhee says noticing my frown.

I pout at Leo. It was my one time chance to eat at a expensive restaurant and he took it away.

"You'll love the food here, I can give you guarantee. It's alot better than the overpriced fancy restaurants." She continues talking.

"If I don't like it you'll pay for the food." I say jokingly and she laughs. There was a certain ring to her laughter that was really friendly and pleasant.

She leads us to a table near the window where we could see the busy streets outside. We could tell it wasn't a typical tourist spot by the amount of locals hurrying about their own businesses.

A waiter approach us and asks something in a language I don't understand to Jinhee.

"What would you like to eat?" Jinhee translates.

"I don't know.. I don't know any of these..." I say flipping through the menu.

Sate varieties, Nasi ayam and nasi campur, bebek and ayam betutu, babi guling... What the heck I don't know any of these things. I feel like an alien.

"I'll take Sate varieties" Leo answers nonchalantly as I gawk at him. Then I remember that he has been here before. Offcourse he'll know what to eat.

"Same." I say quickly closing the menu. I don't want to look like the only uncultured idiot.

"Drinks and desserts?" She translates again.

"Just water. I'm not a big fan of sweets either." Leo says.

"Same." I nervously say. I don't know any of the drinks either, I don't want to end up ordering something I won't like.

Jinhee says something like, "Babi guling" and the waiter walks away jotting down everything in his little notepad.

As we wait for our food I force Jinhee to engage in a conversation with me since Leo seemed to have decided to go back to being mute again. I tell her about life in Korea as she fills in about her life in Bali and how different it is than mine. It was all just fascinating. I felt like she lives in a dream land all the time. Bali is a wonderful place and I'd definitely come back again.

"So you guys want to go to clubs tonight or what?" She asks so suddenly, I was taken aback.

"Club?" I was embarrassed to admit that I've never been to a club. My mother would never approve of such things and I never desired them either. I feel they're just loud, obnoxious and a waste of time. But if I recall correctly, Leo said he went to a few clubs when he was in Bali.

"Do you?" Jinhee directs the question at Leo, she probably got the drift that Leo is in charge of the decision making. So sexist though. But it's a fact that I'm a clueless idiot so...

"Sure." He replies. Oh crap. The only alcohol I've drank was wine and that was that one time I went to a pastor's house. And that too I didn't take well. One could say I really can't handle my liquor.

"Great! I know some great places. We could go tonight. If you guys don't mind I suggest you to book a hotel for tonight. There's no point in going back because I'll show you some great shopping places tomorrow. I suppose you guys want to take souvenirs?"

"Sounds fun!" I exclaim.

The waiter returns with our food and I suddenly remember how hungry I was. I internally thank Leo as I eye the food. I thought it'd be something really weird but it was some delicious grilled meat looking things on sticks dipped in brown sauce. Thank god I'm not a vegetarian.

I look curiously at Jinhee's food and it was spit-roasted pig stuffed with spices and vegetables. Good choice.

We all dig in to our food and holy mother does it taste good! Weirdly the meat tasted like chicken, pig and beef all at the same time and had hints of coconut. I thought i was imagining things untill Jinhee explained me that it did consist of the things I just tasted.

Leo looked like he was enjoying his food.

I think everyone ate untill they were full and then Jinhee took us to see some of the local side of Bali.

****

A few hours of sightseeing later we were too exhausted to walk even an inch so we all agreed to go to the hotel jinhee booked for us.

I was too tired to admire the beauty of it so I quietly followed everyone inside. Sure it was big. Sure it was beautiful. Just like everything else in Bali. Although it wasn't those hotels i saw in the pamphlets. It was a bit less luxurious than that. I bet it's that Jinhee's doing again. Why can't she understands that I actually want to get ripped off?

"You can see the mountains from here. I booked you a room with a great view!" Jinhee said while signing some papers at the reception. Then Leo signed something too.

We were given a key and a bellboy to show us the way.

"Well, see you guys in a few hours. The party doesn't start untill midnight and any party before that isn't fun. So take some rest and get ready to party!" Jinhee said before heading off to her room. Was it just me or was she more excited than us? I imagined she'd go partying everyday but seeing how she was excited, maybe not?

Leo looked neutral about it like it was no big deal. Then am I the only one overreacting? It's just some music and some drinking (?) nothing harmful right? I have no idea how night life is really. The only time I've ever stayed up late was to study for an exam.

The bellboy shows us our room. It was a spacious white room with a huge soft bed and friendly looking curtains. I bet there's a great view behind it but I was too tired to look. Maybe later, I thought.

"I'll go take a shower." Leo said right away. The weather was really hot outside, he must have been sweating. And so did I. Ew. I sat next to Leo in the car. Hope he didn't smell anything. If he did it'd be really embarrassing.

Either I had a really long conversation with myself or Leo has super shower speed because before I even noticed he was already out and drying his hair with a towel.

Then I regretted (not really) looking at his abs for the second time. And I swear it gets better the more i look at it.

There he was and in his half naked glory. If he was a celebrity I'd take a picture of him in this state, start a fan club right there and then and have his pictures all over my wall. But since I was his wife it'd be really weird if I did that. So I tried to remain calm. But that wasn't working so I frowned in concentration and gave myself a pep talk. DO NOT FREAK OUT. This is normal between a husband and wife. He'll think I'm weird and a Virgin if I keep freaking out like this. I gotta take this like a normal person. But I think I feel my face twitching I hope he didn't see that. No no it'd be even more weird if he catches me checking him out. Quit staring at him like he's a piece of meat. Stop, miha. Stop. Staring.

I finally closed my eyes in frustration because I just couldn't look away from him.

Then the most bizzare thing happened.
