Our Destiny Was An Accident

Chapter 9: The first kiss/slap?

Amy finds Han wierd. She gets angry and asks furiously what wrong she did. She is well aware of the fact that she is lacking but this doesn't gives him the right to decide her every move. Han went silent when Amy got violent. Her anger is just on another level, hard to defeat. He silently ride her to mall to buy stuffs she will need for her classes. Amy is still upset and refuses his help clearing him that she will soon find a way to support herself and won't be a burden to him. Han justifies that it's her rightful money that she got as reimbursement of the accident from the culprit, who has sworn to take care of her expenditure until she recovers her health in order to avoid jail. Also, she is not a burden for him, but a friend he genuinely cares and apologises for going overboard. This lifted Amy's mood and they started shopping. After buying track suit, some tees, sports shoes, one backpack and selecting one piano for her, they went for grocery shopping. While Han is busy picking vegetables and things required for making dinner, Amy is searching something. Han notices and asks what she is looking for. She continues her search and joyously picks dates and show it to Han.

Han: It's just dates. Why you look so excited and happy to get this? Did someone recommended you? You don't even eat almonds when I tell you to. I  wonder if you finish it.
Amy: It's for Lee. I told you that he asked for date. I guess you need to eat some almonds as well. Let's get some dates for us too and some walnuts. You better need it. ( she smiles teasing him for forgetting the point and getting angry. Han used to tell her to eat this and that for her sharp memory and alleviate her anger but this time she got the chance to play the other way round.)

Han goes in flashback, keenly pay attention to their conversation and realised that Amy mistook Lee's romantic date as a delicious dates, all thanks to the homonyms. He laughed out loud thinking how stupid he was to overreact in jealousy without considering that Amy doesn't even know anything about dating and stuffs and even argued with her over literally nothing. Amy keeps looking at him, puzzled over his inane laugh and before she could ask him the reason for his imbecile nature, he grabs her cheeks complementing her cuteness and kisses her forehead in over excitement. A slap helps Han come to his senses but it was already too late. Before he could explain, Amy apologises and turns her back trying to figure out why she slapped Han, while Han stands still like mannequin with his hand on face.

They came home with an awkward feeling stuck between them. Amy went straight to her room and Han too. Han takes the shower and comes out to prepare dinner, so does Amy. She tries to speak with him but he avoids her, taking extra care not to touch her. Irritated with his illogical behaviour she steps forward to end it at once. Amy explains him that she don't know why she slapped him suddenly. It just happened like some reflex action.

Amy: I am sorry. I already feel embarrassed for what I did. Please forgive me and stop being so awkward in front of me. I can't take it anymore.
Han: ( In his mind "I am embarrassed in myself for kissing you recklessly and I feel even more pathetic to suss that you have no clue about my feelings.")
I am sorry too for my inappropriate behaviour.
Amy: ( while offering her hand for a handshake) Are we good now?
Han: (while handshaking with a warm smile) Better.

This way, they both fixed their uncomfortable environment by taking immediate action and understanding each other in a better way.
