If We Got Married 17 Cherry Blossom Festival: Part 2

When everyone else woke up, they all got ready to head out to the festival. It was perfect weather to go out. The temperature outside was cool and the festival had just enough people that made it easy to move around. At first Ha Eun didn't see anything interesting, just food vendors on side of the street and people eating on the gra.s.s. What's so fun about all this? But then she saw the cherry blossoms, they were so beautiful she wondered why she never came to see them before.

Chang Wook noticed Ha Eun's expression. For some reason he couldn't stop looking at it. Do Mi noticed the happy couple. She wondered if Ha Eun knew how much her son loved her. She wondered if Ha Eun had ever seen her son look at her the way he was looking at her now. That's not a face any guy gives a pretty girl. Soo Ryun noticed the atmosphere and they with Han Soo decided to leave the couple be when the couple wasn't looking they went in a different direction.

"Where's your mother?" Ha Eun asked. Chang Wook decide to call her but when she answered the only thing she said was 'enjoy your date' and then she hung up.

Chang Wook scoffed. His mother is unbelievable, she invites him and his fiancée to the cherry blossom festival, then leaves them alone. He looks over at Ha Eun, she's looking somewhere else. A food vendor where they are making kebobs. He sighs, grabs her wrist and takes her to the vendor. He pays for 2 kebobs and hands her one.

"Foods on me today" he told her. As they ate, they continued walking around. Chang Wook would point out a specific place and give Ha Eun a silly fact about himself.

"Over there at that bookstore is where I got my first job. Then I got fired 3 weeks later for excessive reading" he told her. Ha Eun scoffed "Yeah, I was reading too much that I wasn't taking care of the customers. That was the first-time reading got fired"

Ha Eun thought of maybe giving him some information on herself, the things that she's never talked about with anyone, just to keep things even but she couldn't. That would mean letting go and she wasn't so sure if she was ready for that.

As they continued walking Ha Eun walked in a different direction, stopping in front of a stand. Chang Wook reached her and saw she was looking at an artist drawing caricatures of the guests that sit down.

"So, you also like this sort of thing?" he asked Ha Eun, impressed.

"Can't I?" she asked in a defensive tone.

"No, you can. I just thought you'd be more into high end paintings that cost more than a house" he said "I'm impressed" those last two words that came out of Chang Wook's mouth made Ha Eun look down. He complimented her.

"If I want your praise I will ask for it" she answered. Chang Wook looked back at her disappointedly and made a deep sigh.

"There you go again being all mean" he said. He hands the artist some money so he can draw Ha Eun, then he sat her down to be drawn. Ha Eun felt a bit bad, she didn't mean to say something mean, it just came out like that. She was no longer in the mood to be drawn now that she had ruined the mood, but Chang Wook sat next to her with a smile, facing forwards.

"What are you doing?" she asked him.

"What does it look like I'm doing, I'm getting a drawing of us" he said, "A memory of your first time in Jeju" Ha Eun felt a little bit touched, he got angry with her yet his anger subsided so quickly but then Chang Wook just had to add "And a reminder that it was me who paid for it" Ha Eun wondered why after Chang Wook showed kindness he just had to be a smarta.s.s. That made her smile rather than ignite a pa.s.sionate anger inside of her. She wondered why.

Chang Wook looked over at Ha Eun wondering why she didn't counter with anything witty. He saw her looking forward with a smile. Instinctively he took his phone out to take a picture. Ha Eun could see from the side of her eye Chang Wook with his phone on, pointed at her. She turned her head to look at him and then she heard the shutter.

"Wow, you're unbelievable" she said, "I take a picture of us together and you get all angry but when you take a picture of me its fine?"

"Don't get so defensive. It'll be weird if my parents want to see pictures of us and we don't have any together" Chang Wook told her but, in reality he wasn't thinking of taking a picture to show his family, he was thinking that this was the first time he saw his boss smile and she didn't seem to be faking and that was a smile he wanted to see again.

When the drawing was done they were impressed with the end result "I look so cute" Ha Eun said.

"That is incredibly narcissistic of you" Chang Wook answered with a laugh.

"How can I not say I look cute?" Ha Eun asked smiling "Look at you, such huge nostrils" Chang Wook took the picture off her hands.

"What about you? look at that huge forehead"

As the day went on, what used to be angry and insulting banter, became teasing and they both laughed at each other, with each other. They stopped at other food stands and tried many delicacies.

"Fun fact about Chang Wook, number 23. I love broccoli" he said, "They're like little trees" Ha Eun smiled. Chang Wook didn't mind that Ha Eun never once partic.i.p.ated in the fun facts since he knows mostly everything about her, but she knows nothing about him, but he did hope however, that she would say something that he didn't know like something about her past when she was a kid.

What he didn't know was that Ha Eun went through a lot when she was a child and in the not so far off future it would take something terrible to get her to open up. Something that will end up changing their relationship forever, but that being good or bad was up for them to decide.

He turned his head and by the river he saw a girl with long hair. He knew that long hair anywhere. Without a word to Ha Eun he ran towards that girl. Ha Eun turned her head and saw him talking with Mi Jin. They hugged and continued talking. She pointed somewhere in the distance and Chang Wook for a split second placed his hand on Mi Jin's back and they continued walking.

Ha Eun didn't know how to feel. Again, she had this burning feeling inside of her that she didn't like.
