You're Still the One

Chapter 8 - Broken Promise

SEOUL (December 2012)

"You're back! How's your Mom? Is she alright?" Mun-yeong curiously looked at him as soon as he arrived.

She is sitting on the bed reading her favorite novel when Gang-tae arrived that night. He has been out all day, he said he will visit his mother to spend time with her since they will be leaving soon for the States in two weeks' time for his apprenticeship.

For her part, she withdrew from all her classes a week ago and took all her credentials with her so she can transfer and continue Med school in the States as what she and Gang-tae agreed and planned.

Gang-tae stepped forward and sat beside her on the bed, then he leaned closer giving her a light kiss on the lips.

"She's fine. Nothing to worry about. I told her we will visit her together again this weekend." Gang-tae smiled while he touched her face. There is something in his eyes that Mun-yeong could not figure out.

He was about to stand up when Mun-yeong quickly grabbed his arm.

"Love, is there something wrong?" She asked feeling a bit skeptical. She can smell a hint of alcohol from his body.

"What? No there is nothing wrong. You're thinking too much."

"Did you have a drink?"

"Yeah, just a couple of beers with Sang-in. Don't worry I'm not that drunk, and I didn't drive. He dropped me off."

"Oh, then just don't mind me. Maybe I'm just worn out from all the packing and arranging of all our stuff for our move."

"Okay, don't stress yourself too much. I'll just take a quick shower; you look so good and you smell nice while I'm all sweaty!" He gave a soft laugh while heading out to the bathroom.

Mun-yeong immediately brushed off her worry and uneasiness that she felt a moment ago. She knew Gang-tae will tell her if there is something wrong. He will never hide something and that is what they promised each other, to always be honest.

She placed her book on top of the bedside table and lie down on the bed, pulled the sheets to keep her warm as she closed her eyes to sleep. A few minutes later, she felt him lying beside her and spoon cuddled her. He curled his body against her back while wrapping his arms around her softness.

"You feel so warm..." he said in a sweet faint whisper.

She can feel his breath close to her ear. His hands roaming freely on her smooth curves before he settles them to caress the tender swells of her breasts. A burning sensation starts to overwhelm her as he starts raining gentle wet kisses from her neck down to her shoulder. She let out a soft moan at the touch of his lips on her skin.

She looked at him over her shoulder, then she turned her body to face him.

He met her gaze and stares deeply in her eyes before saying,

"I want to make love with you tonight... let me give you everything Mun-yeong... my heart and my soul." His voice pleading longingly, his eyes full of love and mystery.

She reached out to touch his face, searching deep in his eyes... she felt something unusual, but she is too weak to dwell on it. Suddenly afraid to ask questions she knew might be left unanswered. So, her heart chooses to remain silent and set aside all her inhibitions, letting desire took over her senses.

Mun-yeong smiled at Gang-tae and nods her head, "Then make love with me...I'm always yours..."

Upon hearing her words, a sudden tear dropped from his eyes as he moves closer and lovingly pressed his mouth against her. Possessing it like a treasure he longs to own and keep forever.
