Healing Love

Chapter 20

"The greatest mark of a father is when he treats his children when no one is looking" (Dan Pearce)

"Sorry, I'm late. I am kind of stuck with the guests." Jung Hyuk said as he put down the two glasses of lemonade on the table. Actually, he just wanted to get drinks for Jin Ah, but he didn't expect he would get stuck by those who wish to have a selfie with him.

"It's okay. I can see that. I don't know my husband is so popular. No wonder Hyo Jin is mad at me when I do not know who you were before," Jin Ah said as she sipped the lemonade. It feels so good to finally get something sour, sweet and cold.

Jung Hyuk just smirked. "The title is what the people gave to me. I think I got it because of my grandfather and father. They are more popular than me. But, to be honest, I am quite shy to be called that because I don' think I am that eligible. There are many more eligible men out there."

"You are not proud of it? If it is for a woman, that title is equivalent to Miss Korea, and that is huge."

Jung Hyuk shook his head. "Nope. I am more proud of my humble status now. A father to be and a husband to a pretty wife," he told her honestly and made her flattered till she can feel her cheeks blushed.

"By the way, this colour looks nice on you. Make you look sexy," he winked mischievously and made Jin Ah's face becomes redder, just as red as her dress colour. She keeps eating the cake to hide her bashfulness. "There's the cream on your face," he said.

Jin Ah touched her face to find where the cream is. "Is it still there?" she asked him. He nodded, and Jin Ah continued to find where the cream is but she still missed the spot.

"Let me," Jung Hyuk took his handkerchief and wiped the cream on her face. Suddenly, their eyes locked with each other, and both of them freeze at the moment. Jin Ah's heartbeat beat abnormally when he gazed at her, and Jung Hyuk has the urge to do something to her. He looked at her lips, and slowly he closed the gap between them. Both of them knew what is coming, but neither of them dodged away. Jin Ah closed her eyes as Jung Hyuk's face gets closer to hers, and their lips now only centimetres apart.

Jung Hyuk gently brushed his lips over hers, tasting her strawberry flavoured lip gloss. Jin Ah did not move and just let her husband kissed her lightly. It was soft and sweet.

"Ri Jung Hyuk ssi?" A voice interrupted their golden timing and halted him from what he is doing. Jin Ah quickly opened her eyes as Ri Jung Hyuk broke their kiss. Jin Ah pursed her lips and look away, being shy.

Both of them turned to the voice. Across them, a woman is standing. She is about Jung Hyuk's age, and from the way, Jung Hyuk looked at her, they seem to know each other.

"Kang Ye Won?" Jung Hyuk asked and she nods.

"Oraemaniyeyo."

"Yes, it's been a while. You looked different. I almost could not recognise you. Have a seat. By the way, this is my wife, Yoon Jin Ah," Ye Won smiled at Jin Ah after Jung Hyuk introduced them. Looking at how pretty Jin Ah is, Ye won know that he will never get the man in front of him, and she admitted defeat years ago. She is glad he found someone new and hopes that he can forget about the past and move on.

"Annyeong haseyo. Yoon Jin Ah imnida," she bowed and shook hands with Ye Won.

"This is Kim Ye Won. She is my friend in university back when I studied in Seoul. She is Ji Hyun's classmate and best friend," he explained to his wife, and Jin Ah nodded understands.

"Wow, how are you here?" Jung Hyuk asked, surprised to see his old friend at the wedding.

"Hyo Jin is my second cousin. Our mothers are cousins," she explained her relationship with the bride. Jung Hyuk ssi, I have something to talk to you about. She slowly uttered the words out of her mouth.
