Chapter 25: "I am married to him!"

"Hope.. heyy. " Wendy exclaims.."It's my bed... heyy...." then she soft down her voice..."are you ok?"

Hoseok is still closing his eyes...but his soft voice come out .. "Please let me sleep here beside you here. I just had nightmares and ..I feel lonely too... please don't make me leave ...that will be cruel"

Wendy looks at Hoseok who is lying like such a child. ..She can't help smiling and remembers Hoseok has such strange sleeping style. . But now he seems to be just sleeping peacefully...

" Umm... Ok... let's be together tonight then.." .she then get on the other side of the bed or her side of the bed..and lie down..and turn to look at Hoseok .

Wendy can't help stroking his natural black hair with her hand..he just looks so innocent.

She is thinking.

"Black hair makes him look both innocent yet manly sometimes too..but wait I miss my hot Jeju Hero in red hair. ..well Hope dear...sleep well"

She turns down the light and lie back again to sleep. Her face is facing to Hoseok's...her hand lie in front of her face.

Hoseok opens his eye for a while then... take her hands in his and sleep. Not long after they are both fast asleep.

*******

Jung family might not notice that, in their household, there is someone who dislike Wendy very much and also who actually spread news about Hoseok being gay. She is the niece of the the housekeeper (on her mother's side) of the Jung household. And it also happens that she is also the niece of Ms Wang (on her father's side). It seems she still has connection with Ms Wang. She used to think about seducing Hoseok back then when she just come to the household 4 years back to help her aunt ...but he seemed to guess her intentions and try to avoid her at all cost...she knows that he knew...she is still bitter about it.

For tonight she could not sleep yet..she is still wondering in the household and at that very moment is looking straight at the door of the room to where Wendy and Hoseok are sleeping. Her eyes are filled with bitterness... Just then she hears her aunt calls her.."Mina... what are you doing up there..it's late now ... let's go to sleep"

"I'm coming!!"

*******

Wendy does live in Jung's household happily.. although she can notice not everyone like her..but she loves people who adore her...Hoseok, his father, Mr Jung Ji Wook ..and Yoona, married sister of Hoseok...who visit the household every week with her husband. On weekends then Wendy get a chance to help the household work alongside with Yoona ...who encourage her to do so. .. One Sunday.. Yoona and Wendy are working on renewal decorations of the household together...and Yoona can't help talking to her.

"When I was younger...I was last to interested in how to look after the household...but then when I grow up I learned to like them.. we have hire people to do it..but it will be better if we do it ourselves!. and it's fun...I learned it especially after I have my own family".....Yoona seems to be feminine...but Wendy can feel her her toughness inside.

Yoona continue, "Umm.. actually Hoseok is sometimes better at these things than me!!"

At that, Wendy's cheeks grow a little red..

Yoona ignore her . continue saying..."Umm but Hoseok is very manly guy, I know my brother even when he might do and like things that lady like .." she pauses and give a little naughty smile.."Yep..I was the one who look after him most of the time...so I know ...he was very naughty when he is young...and I always have to act tougher than him to get him obey to me... boys!"

Well...its good that Yoona is so sure of her brother' manliness Wendy thinks. She even thinks that way sometimes too...she would have think him manly if she had not encountered his romantic conversation with Jimin before. Besides, Hoseok does not deny it too. Wendy enjoys time with Yoona a lot. Wendy still want to get friendlier with Mrs Jung too.. but Mrs Jung does not speak to her much if it's not anything important.

*********

Finally, Hoseok has left Oriental Utopia and enters his father's work as an official in government office. Wendy is still working at the hotel.

At first Lee Min Hong seems to have difficulties in talking to Wendy.. although she still greets him normally.

But one day....he speaks up...

It's at their break....he comes to speak to her while she is standing at one balcony.

"Do you love Hoseok?" he asks.

Wendy looks at him..

"Why.... w .. well I'm very fond of him....!"

Lee Min Hong: "I am asking because you two seems too fast to marry and you two seems to be friends before and I and many others do not see you dating before...so I'm wondering you married him for some other reason than love, attachment.."

Wendy: " If so?"

Lee Min Hong: "So it's true?"

His eyes are wide now....they are asking as if there are any chance for him. Wendy guess that. She replies.

"I am officially and legally his wife. For whatever reason, I am married to him... "

And Lee Min Hong knows what she is meaning. She doesn't want to give chances to any other guys because she is married.

**********

Working at Government office, Hoseok is putting all his energy to do the job. And many officials can see how serious and looking manly he is. He is doing so well in the job.

And yet, Hoseok still have to meet his lover from the past since her husband is police that has to come to the office. Sometimes ...she comes ..and Hoseok does bump into her.

They meet again. Since it is day time.. Hoseok can see her sad face clearer. And Hoseok remembers those energetic sparkle eyes to which he fell in love with... which are not there now. he did learn about her life through the surrounding..her husband does not take full responsibility of her and her two daughters...it seems he is having other women too...and they could not provide enough for their two girls that she has to let them be with her parents and her sister who has her own children too...

He meets her again....he was so sure his feelings has changed a lot about her..it is not that he hates her. He is more mature than that. He isn't a boy who is smitten with her anymore..but more of a man who sympathize with her as they know each other before...and one thing he might had to admit himself she is his lover from the past...or someone from the past. ... which has been part of his life too..
