The love story of Lee Seon-jae and Oh Hye-won of the top Korean drama series 'Secret Love Affair' continues...
This story is dedicated to my friend and visual collaborator Tess Angeles, whose edited pictures are almost as beautiful as her sweet natu...
It was a tired, but very happy, couple who slept soundly that night, the next day being for travel by train later in the day, so everyone deciding to take the morning to relax and recover from their exertions. Ciara had whispered in Hye-won's ear the night before, as they were saying goodnight: 'order room service for breakfast tonight and...relax in the morning,' and with a twinkle in her eye, she had left Hye-won spluttering behind her.
When Seon-jae asked her what was so funny and she told him, a light had come in his eye and back in the room, he had done just that, without saying too much about it.
A tap on the door roused the sleeping pair and Seon-jae admitted the waiter with a wheeled cart loaded with food, accompanied by the smell of strong coffee. As the couple sat to the small table by the window, Seon-jae looked to Hye-won and smiled: 'isn't this cosy? Almost like we are back in our little flat.'
She smiled and became thoughtful, as she took her first sip of hot coffee. He saw her pensive look: 'is something wrong, love?'
She took her time answering: 'well, I was just thinking,' she smiled beautifully at him and his eyes became instantly soft: 'maybe we should take Ciara's advice and talk about the...you know, the wedding?'
His expression was dumbstruck and he didn't reply immediately. Then slowly, he became aware that she was smiling even more sweetly at him: 'Seon-jaea, it's ok...don't look so worried. We don't have to talk about it at all, if you prefer. I shouldn't have brought it up.'
She gave her attention to the food: 'everything looks delicious and I don't know about you but I'm really hungry.'
She reached for a soft, white breakfast bun and tasted a corner: 'wa - wow - taste these - they are so soft and delicious.'
She tore a little piece off and held it to him but instead of taking it in his hand, he moved his mouth towards her hand and accepted the piece directly, holding her eye with an intense gaze, as he did. He seemed to consider saying something for a moment and then looked at though he had made a decision, 'ok, eat first, then we talk, my lady.'
He reached for a breakfast bap of his own: 'and you are right - so soft and delicious,' and the look he gave her sent a thrill through her that had nothing at all to do with bread.

Sniadanie - breakfast enjoyed, Hye-won sat back from the table and looked archly at Seon-jae, as though to say - are you ready to talk? He had been expecting that of course and his mind had spent the period while they enjoyed the food - not just the amazing - duze buly - bread rolls - but also the - jajecznica - scrambled egg - thinking over how to say what he thought. It didn't seem to make it any easier though and he rubbed his palms down his thighs, in a flurry of thought.
Moments later, he lifted his head and smiled shyly: 'so what do you want? Is there...an image or a place in your mind that you see for the day?'
She pondered that but could see that there was more in him and waited.
