Part 31

*Guk-Du's POV*

My sleep was broken in the early morning as some sounds came from somewhere. I opened my eyes. Di-Hee was sleeping peacefully while hugging me. Our bodies were in constant contact with each other as we lay naked. 

Carefully removing her body from mine, I dressed and went towards the source of the sound. It was coming from the living room. I advanced towards the noise, and it happened to be my mom. She was blindfolded while Di-Hee's mom hid near the couch. Seeing their faces, they seemed sober, but were they? I didn't know. 

I tapped Mom's shoulder, and in reflex, she slapped me. Ouch! It was painful. She removed her blindfold and was about to celebrate, but I guess she saw me. 

"Oh!" She covered her mouth with her palms, "I'm so sorry, Du-aa. I thought it was Kim-shi." She was saying all this while I looked at her with confusion. Why were they even playing like kids?

"It's okay. But what are you doing?" I looked at them exchanging glances, and their heads hung low. Something was going on in their heads. 

"We." Mrs Kim cleared her throat, "We were getting trained."

"Yes, she is right." Mom added. 

"For what?" I couldn't understand clearly what they were implying.

"To play with our grandchildren. Du-aa, we are getting old, and our joints are to give up anytime we reach the age of 50." Mom was not even trying to hide what she was thinking.

"Yes. And when we saw... you know... when we were drunk... umm... you... and... Di-Hee. I am going to my room." Mr Kim's face turned red, and she lowered her gaze, walking towards the guest room. Okay, so they remember. WHAT? THEY REMEMBER!

"You didn't have to after hearing us on the call." Mom also started to walk away. I didn't want them to get the wrong idea.

"We weren't doing it because you said," I said and went from there. In our room, Di-Hee was barely covered with the duvet. Her hair was messed up, and she winced every time she moved in her sleep. Was I rough on her?

I checked the date, and it was my off day today. I slid the duvet on her body and slid inside along with her. Hugging her body, she shifted to embrace me and slept again.

The next time I woke up, Di-Hee was gone from my side. I touched her side of the bed, where she slept. It was cold. She's gone for a while. I rubbed my eyes to send the drowsiness away.

I showered and went downstairs. All the ladies were laughing. I guess they forgot, or she forgot what happened in the middle of the night. 

I was trying to silently move towards the kitchen and grab a bottle of water, but alas they spotted me in seconds, even before I could descend the stairs fully. 

"Come sit with us," Eomma said. I went towards them.

"You know, when he was still a kid. At the time, he didn't know how to crawl, he used to shift on his but to move, and then one day, he hit his leg on the table leg. Since then, he never moved like that." Mom said and laughed. We all stayed silent. 

"What? Not funny?" She said and we all burst laughing. 

I was slightly embarrassed but still, it was too hard to avoid laughing. 

Di-Hee laughed heartily and her skin glowed even more.

*At a party*

"Let's play truth and dare!" 

"Oh! I'm in."

"Me too!"

I looked at my slightly drunk wife as she started another round of the same game she had been playing with her friends for the last hour: the same opening line, cheers, responses and questions. 

But this was slightly off guard as it turned to me. "Guk-Du! Who do you love me or, umm, your work, no, your mother?" 

"Di-Hee, what kind of question is this?" 

"Answer me!"

"I love... obviously you." 

"Yay!"

She kissed my cheek and returned to the game.

I have to focus on my studies and complete all the work assigned to me, which is too long. 

I'll try to keep you all updated and post in a while.
