My Instant Marriage

He just nodded his head with acceptance. Mrs. Lee clapped her hands together excitedly.

That night in his room, Young-soo rested his head over his mother’s lap and expressed that he was in love with a girl.

Mrs. Lee was not an old fashioned woman who was against for love; she was a broad minded woman and a friendly mother to her son. Therefore she asked him to describe about that girl in a few words.

"She was so helpful, passionate, hard worker, ambitious, and a caring girl," Young-soo described.

"Have you confessed your love to that girl?" Mrs. Lee asked.

Young-soo was scared to tell her that he’s confessed his love to that girl with a wrong move, so he lied to his mother that he hasn’t confessed his feelings to her.

Mrs. Lee advised him to confess it at the right timing with a good proposal.

He nodded his head with an agreement.

Next day he sent a written text message to Hyejin, ’I’m sorry.’ But he didn’t get any reply from her for a while, he was so impatient therefore he went to the park near her house and texted her again, ’now come to the park near your house, I’m waiting for you, and please come I need to talk to you.’

She read his text message and said to herself, ’now why did he wants to meet me. Why couldn’t he understand me that I couldn’t able to look at him straight at his eyes.’ Then she wore one of the best casual- wear in her collections. She cheered herself by looking at her reflections on the mirror, and before she leaves the house she informed her father that she’s going to the nearest convenience store.

When she reached the park, she saw Young-soo was sitting down at the park’s concreted bench. She approached him and stood next to him. He stood down from the concrete bench, "you arrived, thank you so much for coming to the park as for my request."

She asked him, "what is the matter tell me quickly, I need to go home, my father was in the house."

He nodded his head, "actually, now why I asked you to come to meet me was..." he paused for a few seconds and grabbed her hands; her heat beat rose high as usual. He quickly apologized, "I’m sorry to kiss you yesterday in the pool. But the love I have on you was true, I love you a lot, please try to understand me, Hyejin."

"Let go of my hands, Young-soo people are watching don’t make me feel bashful like yesterday."

He let go of her hands, "I came here to meet you to apologize and to know whether you have any feeling for me or not."

She massaged her hands nervously, "actually I was not angry with you, but yesterday I was startled when you kiss me in front of the other swimmers, which is why I returned back to my house without doing my part-time job. Now I’ll come straight to the point without making it wishy-washy, yes I’m in love with you, Young-soo."

Young-soo felt like he wanted to jump up and down with happiness. He hugged her for a second and broke the hug before anybody sees them, "I love you, Hyejin, love you a lot."

She gave him a coyly smile, "then lets meet again in the evening at the swimming institute," she said and walked out of the park.

That evening after the swimming practice they went out for a first date at one of the busy streets of Seoul.

After a month she joined in the national sports academy. Everything was going well between them, they used to go out for date in their free times, she used to share the details about her competitions, and her tour, their life was filled with lots of fun and excitements like other teenagers. Before they celebrate their first meet anniversary everything has come to an end; when Young-soo heard that bad news from one of her sports academic friends that, Hyejin was died when she went to rescue a middle age person who tried to attempt suicide in the beach. At that moment he shouted her name and fainted on the spot. He attended her funeral with a heavy heart like a friend because her father didn’t know about their lover matter.

End of the flashback:

When Young-soo woke-up, he looked around the surroundings, and then he realized that he dreamed about Hyejin as if she came to him and consoled him last night. Then he went to his room, selected a suit from the wardrobe to wear to his office. He went to the bathroom, once he finishes taking of his bath, he got ready to go to his office, and left the house.

At Hee-jungs’s house, Eunbi looked so thoughtful since she came to her friend’s house. Hee-jung didn’t ask anything about it to her, she just let her be the way she wanted to. Eunbi was kept on thinking about Young-soo; what he’ll be doing at this hour, whether he would have eaten his breakfast, and he would’ve taken quality of rest in the night or not. She took her phone and looked at the picture of them taken together yesterday, ’have you doing well without me, why did you decide to live separately. I feel like I’ve missed something precious in the house, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you, hope you’ll be alright gradually as you said.’ She said by looking at his picture on the phone.
