“I’ll stay…”
Hearing those words from her brought a tingling sensation down my spine… I wanted to look up… see her face once again… but right now… what we have between us is enough to feed the emptiness inside me… I’ve done enough… I’ve said enough… I’m afraid I would lose myself more if this persists…
I could hear her heartbeats… sounded like music to my ears… I closed my eyes… feeling her breathing against my body… never I felt this contented before… why am I feeling this way…? Am I on the right track…?
‘Do you love her…?’
And again… Youngbae’s words rang inside my mind… bringing up another confusion in my already troubled mind… I can’t… that’s not it… I already have someone that I love… it’s only guilt that I am feeling for her and nothing more… I can’t…
Just then I felt her arms wrapped along me tighter… enough for my heart to go crazy, beating wildly inside my chest… oh please… make it stop….
After a while of excruciating minutes… her hold finally loosened… I felt her breathing got even… and finally my heart went back to its normal pace… I carefully looked up and saw her already sleeping… my hands unconsciously went up to her face… hoping the weary look on her face would vanish…
I rolled to my side… and stood up from the bed…
‘Don’t hold back’
I’m just doing a good deed that’s all… repaying for all the bad things I’ve done to her… hoping the guilt inside me would vanish… it really is breaking me apart…

He went back from their bathroom with a small basin and a towel in his hands… he sat at the edge of their bed and carefully lifted up her blanket…
He saw how bruised her feet were because of too much walking from earlier… another wave of pain struck his chest thinking it was all his fault… he dipped the towel in the warm water soaking it before he gently massaged her feet with it…
He watched her slowly stirring in her sleep… but grateful that she’s a deep sleeper, he carefully continued with his job…he probably gave everything to Taeyeon before but never did he done this before… lowering himself just for another person… lowering himself to the person he once hated the most…
The night was in its deepest but still he hasn’t finish with what he’s doing… easing her aching body with a lot of care… at least with a little deed from him would be enough for all the tears she had shed this day…
--
She groaned in her sleep… rolled to her side when she hit her forehead with something warm and hard… her eyes flinched a bit… before it slowly fluttered open… there she saw a familiar chest right in front of her face… at first she was stilled… still processing her just awakened mind… after a while, her eyes widen a bit… it can’t be… she thought…
Remembering the last night’s events made her cheeks flushed red… she shook her head before she looked up only to be welcomed by her husband’s sleeping face…
‘Why is he still here…?’
She thought in disbelief… the first time catching him still sleeping beside her put her in great awe…
She carefully shifted herself to meet his face… she gasped and covered her mouth when she saw him stirred in his sleep… she was stiff while looking at him hoping she didn’t wake him up… but much to her horror his eyes slowly opened leaving her stiffer in her position both eyes wide open looking straight at him…
She didn’t blink… both eyes were focused on the pair of orbs in front of her… just then, he blinked, once… twice… until his eyes slowly went close again… she heard a muffle snore from him, indicating he’s back in his sleep… she sighed in relief… but doesn’t took her wonder away on why he’s still here…
She examined his face and saw the dark circles under his eyes… that added more to her curiosity… didn’t he sleep last night…? She thought… her forehead creased in worry… thinking how he cried last night… what he told her about how confused he is… probably he really didn’t have a comfortable sleep…
She sighed… what’s happening to him...? She thought once again… she sighed thinking maybe it’s all because of the stress in his work… she decided to head downstairs and tell the maids to just prepare a breakfast in bed for him…
When she was about to sit up… she noticed the lighter feeling of her body... the aching of her body especially her feet were all gone now... the long sleep really worked... and when she was about to stand up she suddenly felt his grip on her wrist… she heard him groan which made her to immediately look down at him…
“Where are you going…?”
He said in a husky, sleepy voice…
“I’m… just going downstairs…”
She was a bit taken aback by his question but manage to answer him in a stuttering voice… he squeezed her wrist a bit first before letting her go and went back to bed to sleep some more…
Her brows knitted… he’s acting weird again…
“Aren’t you going to school today…? You’re going to be late…”
“I’m not… I’m so sleepy...”
He sounded like a child, whining… he even answered her with his eyes still shut tight…
“You…? You’re going to be late…”
He continued… she lowered her gaze and bit her lower lip…
“I… I’m not…”
He slowly opened his eyes to have a look on her… saw the sadness on her face again… he knows why she doesn’t want to go today… who would want if almost all the people in their campus thinks that she’s a two-faced b*tch…
He suddenly sat up and then began stretching… as if forgetting his sleepiness… she was startled again by his sudden moves but remained on her spot, watching him…
“I’ll go later to the construction site of one of Dad’s friend’s business… come with me…”
He simply said as he stood up from their bed and headed for the bathroom… she was stunned… he’s inviting her somewhere… but the plan of looking for her necklace today hit her mind… but thinking it’s his first time inviting her somewhere battled with her plan…
“Dad talked about you… and his friend said he wants to meet you… I’ll tell him we’ll go later”
She sighed and nodded… suddenly felt warm inside her anticipating for later… it will be their first time going out as husband and wife…a slight smile curved on her lips… which didn’t escape his eyes when he looked back to see her reaction… somehow he too felt the same warmth inside of him seeing that simple smile…
--
He waited for her in his car… the people around the house were all in happiness despite the incident last night… keeping to themselves and talking to each other about their young master’s and his wife’s first so called ‘date’… their young master even told Mr. Lee that they’ll use his car and drive it himself…
Saw how worried their young master last night when he went back to look for his wife… as if all their prayers were slowly being granted…
“I’m sorry if I made you wait…”
She’s finally done fixing herself and as usual… her beauty’s breath-taking even just wearing a simple dress and a light make up on her face… he was left in awe for a second… looking at her when she get on her seat beside him… he just snapped back to his consciousness when she turned to him and looked at him in curiosity…
He finally managed to blink and shift his gaze ahead… he didn’t speak… which made her to do the same too…
It felt awkward… for the silence is too much… she played with her fingers looking at the radio of his car… but she doesn’t want to touch it… too conscious of the fact that it’s his car… she decided to just look outside the window beside her…after all, maybe the ride wouldn’t be that long… suddenly the deafening silence got replaced by a soft music coming from the stereo of his car… her gaze immediately shifted to it only to see him turning it on… she opened her mouth only to close it after… she wanted to thank him… but her shyness beats her to it…
He saw all of her expressions… saw how she fidgeted with her fingers looking at his radio and saw how her eyes widen in amazement when he turned on the radio… he didn’t know that she has this child-like side of her…
As she watched the road they passed… somehow she felt familiar about the place… her eyes widen when realization hits her… it’s the same road they went to when they went to the beach back then… the same road that she tiredly walk yesterday…
Her heart began to throb fast once again… wishing that their destination is close to the beach she went yesterday… so that she could still have the chance to look for her necklace even if it’s impossible to see it now…
“Are we going to the beach…?”
Her curiosity made her blurt out those words… he glanced at her for a second and saw how she anticipated to her his answer while looking outside the window…
“Yes”
He simply said… she quickly looked at him and her lips turned into a big smile… she wanted to say more… ask why they would go to the beach if they’re supposed to go to a construction site… but kept her words to herself and just stayed in silence… suppressing herself to express her happiness…
He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel… he knows how happy she is right now… another good deed… he thought to himself… remembered how happy she looked like when they went to the beach together with her niece back then… and remembering that one of his father’s friends has a business near the beach that is under construction…probably a chance to make her experience the beauty of the beach again…
“Thank you…”
He suddenly heard her whisper… he glanced again towards her and saw her smiling at him… enough to make him almost forgot that he’s driving and enough for his heart to almost jump out from his chest…
He immediately look back again on the road… calming himself down… but deep inside he could hear the loud drumming inside his chest… her smile… finally a smile that is meant for him…
Hearing those words from her brought a tingling sensation down my spine… I wanted to look up… see her face once again… but right now… what we have between us is enough to feed the emptiness inside me… I’ve done enough… I’ve said enough… I’m afraid I would lose myself more if this persists…
