11 Meeting his friends

Next day Young-soo woke up with a headache and looked at the digital clock in his room it reads 10:45 am. He quickly got down from the bed, took his bath towel from the wardrobe draped it around his neck, and went to the bathroom.

Once he got dressed up formally to go to his office, he knocked at her room door, and waited. She opened the door and stood at the doorway. He apologized first, "I'm sorry to my last-night behavior and I'll not repeat this again. Today my best friend and his girlfriend are going to visit us in our house in the evening, and I'll send one of my favorite chefs from our hotel to prepare the dinner for us." He checked the time at his wrist watch it reads 11:10 am, "I'm getting late, I'll see you in the evening bye…bye." He said and left the house in hurry.

Time passed quickly and soon it became evening the sun sets down and the darkness was brightened up with the city lights. The chef came to the house along with his assistant with necessary equipment and ingredients, and they started to prepare the dinner.

Eunbi doesn't like to socialize with the strangers, but as she heard the noises comes out from the kitchen she just can't sit down simply on the sofa at the living room and watch the TV. She walked to the kitchen stood on the kitchen doorway and silently watched them the way of their cooking style. It was like a magic to her eyes she had seen it for many times, however she was amused each and every time she watches the professional cooks the foods in their own unique style.

"Mrs. Young-soo, do you want us to prepare something for you to have now?" The chef asked her as she watches them.

"No thank you, chef I'm not in the appetite to eat now. I just wanted to watch the cooking style of the professionals so with your permission may I watch your way of cooking?"

"Of-course, ma'am you can watch us." The chef said and continues with his work.

It took them two hours to finish cooking the menu which was given by Young-soo. They organized the dishes neatly on the dining table and before they leave the house they thanked Eunbi, and said, "we hope that you will enjoy the dinner with your guest, ma'am."

Eunbi bowed her head to them, replied, "thank you chef for cooking us the dinner and we will enjoy having your preparations for sure."

Once they left the house Eunbi changed her dress in a saturated blue color knee length dress with round neck and long sleeves along with the empire waist belt. She combed her hair in a mid parted open hairstyle and wore some light make-up. After a few minutes Young-soo came along with his best friend and his friend's girlfriend. He introduced his wife to them, "meet my wife, Eunbi."

Eunbi smiled at them, and said, "Nice to meet you both."

"Nice to meet you too, Eunbi- shi. I'm your husband's school mate, college mate and his best friend, Kim Hoon-suk. She is my girlfriend Kang Sohee she's one of the leading cosmetic models in our country, I hope that you would have seen her in some of the magazines, and also she's a good friend of your husband." Kang Sohee and Eunbi gave each other a smile.

Hoon-suk asked Young-soo to stand beside his wife. As the couple stood next to each-other, he gave them a basket of yellow roses and said, "We're truly sorry for not attending your wedding; please accept this as a token of our apologies."

And Sohee gave them a flower basket of red roses, and said, "Please to accept our belated wedding wishes. May every passing day brings more joy, and we wish you to lead a wonderful life ahead."

The couple received it with a smile Young-soo place the flower basket on the floor and hugged his friend, "Thanks a lot, my dear friend, and you don't need to apologize I know how busy you are with your business." Then he broke the hug and said, "Come let's chat a lot by having the dinner."

Hoon-suk nodded his head.

They sat down on the dining chair; Young-soo served the rib-eye steak with finger chips to his friends and also for themselves along with glasses of wine. Four of them sliced their stakes into small pieces with the help of the butter knife and had a piece. Soon both the male started their discussion about their business, trips, and investments. The two ladies felt so bored to listen to their men's discussion, so they had their dinner silently.

After the dinner Sohee asked Eunbi to tour the house and Eunbi did toured the house for Sohee and they sat down at the couch in the Eunbi's room.

"Eunbi-shi, I heard everything about your marriage and I could understand the hardship you are going through inside your mind." Sohee said and held Eunbi's hand, "but don't worry you've married a right person. Young-soo is such a wonderful person; he's so understandable, kind, and humble man. I'm sure that he'll support you for your dreams and desires, and he'll cherish your life. I think I don't need to explain about his character because you would have already seen these qualities of him, isn't?"

Eunbi just forced a smile on her face and nodded her head without any complains.

The two male best friends enjoyed their time at the dining table; they stopped their discussion about their business once the ladies left. Hoon-suk sipped the red wine from his glass and asked young-soo, "Did you contact your wife's elder sister Yoon Eunah?"

Young-soo pressed his lips together in line, and nodded his head, "yes I talked with her yesterday over the phone, she said that she's doing good, and asked me to take good care of her younger sister."

"Oh! It's good to hear that she's doing fine of her own in a new country. How are the things are going with your wife?"

Young-soo sighed and looked at him with despondent, "We both are not happy with this relationship."

"Oh~ come-on Young-soo don't lose your hope at any point, they say marriage is one of the beautiful relationships, try to enjoy each and every moment of your life together with your wife." Hoon-suk, advised.

Young-soo smirked, "You've easily advised me, but it's not that easy for me to implement your advice. How could I enjoy each and every moment of my life with her when we both were not happy? I should have not suggested this marriage, it's only gives me pain. When I first met her I thought my life has come back to me, but my thoughts were wrong. I wanted her to stand beside me to fill my loneliness."

Hoon-suk smiled calmly, "You have spent only few days with her, but you are talking as if everything is over in between you guys. You are such an understandable person, Young-soo but in this matter I don't know why you are unable to understand the situation of your wife. Look Young-soo, you have to give her some time and space to prepare her mind to get adjusts to this whole new situation of her life, because she's married you out of a blue, and unexpectedly. Keep calm and have some faith that soon changes will happen in your life."

Young-soo nodded his head with half-minded to implement the advice of his friend.

The two ladies came out from the room and joined with their men at the dining table. Sohee informed Hoon-suk, "it's already 10.00 pm shall we leave now because it's romance time for the newly-married couple, so we should leave the house before they feel that we are disturbing them."

Young-soo smirked, "yah~ Sohee-ya, I didn't know that you know how to tease others, usually I used to tease you guys but now you are teasing me. Now tell me when you guys are planning to get married?"

Sohee put her hand around Hoon-suk's shoulder, "We don't have any plans of marriage probably after two three years we'll decide on it. I need to achieve a lot in my carrier therefore my jagiya will wait for me even more than a decade." She replied to Young-soo and asked Hoon-suk, "am I right, jagiya?"

Hoon-suk turned his head to Sohee's side, replied, "You are always right, I can't imagine my life without you, my dear."

Sohee was touched with the words of her boyfriend she cupped his faced, pecked him on his lips, and said, "I love you so much, jagiya."

"I love you too, dear." Hoon-suk replied.

Young-soo cleared his throat on purpose to draw the lovey-dovey couple attention, "Yah~ don't forget that we are next to you guys."

"We know that and we are not shy to kiss in front of you because we have done like this so many times in front of you during our college days, did you forget that?" Sohee asked Young-soo, and she stood down from the dining chair, "Come-on Jagiya let's move from here it's pretty late already," Sohee said once again to Hoon-suk.

Hoon-suk nodded his head and stood down from the dining chair, "it's one of the greatest moments of our life to spend some quality of our time together in the house, and also we enjoyed the dinner."

Young-soo gave him a smile, "yeah, try to visit us often during your free time, and we'll try to visit you guys at your place in our free time."

Hoon-suk, nodded his head.

Young-soo and Eunbi walked them to the entrance of the house to see them off. Before the couple enters in their car Hoon-suk hugged Young-soo and remembered him once again to be calm and patience like he used to. Young-soo nodded his head in agreement. Sohee hugged Eunbi and asked her to be happy without any worries. Eunbi replied her sure with a smile. Once Hoon-suk and Sohee gets into the car, Young-soo and Eunbi stood together and waved their hands to them with a smile as the car started to move.
