Against ALL Odds (MoonSun FF)

Chapter 34

"You WHAT?!"

"Ow... Please don't yell in my ear, it hurts." Moonbyul covered part of her ears, rubbing it.

"But how? Isn't Eric one of the event committee for the festival? Eric explain yourself!" I couldn't keep my composure feeling anxious that both Eric and Moonbyul's families are going to meet. The fact that things seem to escalate pretty quickly between them makes me worry that it will be a matter of time before her mom successfully separate us by any means.

Eric carefully places the crate of coffee that he carried for Wendy on the table, then cupped his hands on her face while answering me, "My mom pulled some strings... I'm dismissed of all duties tonight. Believe me when I said I didn't want this as much as you both dislike how things turn out either."

Wendy seems to understand Eric's situation, I witness her stroking his hands with her thumb to assure him that she is alright with it, unlike me. I can feel my face flushed in anger and agony, that it didn't go unnoticed by Moonbyul who then look to Eric and said, "Eric, would you give us a moment please?"

"Sure and in fact, I think I'd spend some time with Wendy before heading home to get ready for the dinner. You should get ready soon before the elders start to make a ruckus." He replied then held Wendy's hand, leading her out of my office.

Moonbyul looks at me for awhile before stretching her hand under the bookshelf to retrieve the necklace. She lightly blew on it and dusted it off before she gently put it around my neck. I was caught off guard when she suddenly kneels, clutching her hand on her thigh and bows to me, "I'm sorry."

I panicked and asked her to get up, even tried to lift her arms up but she stiffened her body rock solid as she continues, "I'm sorry, Solar. I know I promised you that I will do whatever it takes to foil this blind date, but I haven't been able to succeed. Because if I don't keep this up with Eric, she may set me up with someone else which makes it even harder for us to deal with. Since Eric and I are on the same page, at least we can work out a solution."

"I understand, Byul-ah. Please don't do this and get up." I begged but she still remained in that position. She then slowly reached out to one of my feet, slowly lifting it up while I lean on my back against the table, balancing myself, "B-Byul? W-What are you doing? We can't do this here-"

I feel my blood rush as my heart palpitates when she removes my high heel and gently kisses my toe, "B-Babe... Don't do that my feet are-"

"Do you know that toe-kissing symbolizes respect and undying loyalty towards their loved ones? I love you so much, Solar. I swear to love you no matter what happens and nothing can keep us apart. Will you wait for me? I will keep my promise for us to be together." She looks up at me with a sad smile as tears trickle down her cheek.

I couldn't hold back my tears either, I was beyond touched that I covered my teary eyes as I nod at her. She wasn't even proposing, not even a ring in sight, just words and an act of professing her love means more than any diamonds could buy. She then puts my high heel back on my feet and get up to move my hands away from my face. Wiping my tears off with her thumb, she then leans forward and we kissed.

We felt the exchange of our breath in between our kisses and taste of sweetness, as we stare into each other's eyes longingly. I wrap my hands around her neck while she had hers behind my waist, pulling ourselves closer to each other, deepening our kiss.

Our smooching songs sings louder than any opera musical. In that moment, it felt like the time has stopped and I wish this will never end as our embrace tells us that we desire for each other so much like tomorrow never comes.

Parting our lips with panting trying to catch our breath, Moonbyul didn't miss a beat to kiss my forehead and hugs me. I accepted her embrace, taking in the ocean scent from her clothes, feeling calm and at ease while she strokes my hair.

When Moonbyul's stroke go down from my hair... to my back... and going further down, I smack her back and warned, "Don't you even think about it, young lady! We're not doing this in my office."

"Awww... And you said you didn't mind if I called you babe and we even kissed here." She pouted.

"This is totally different thing! I'm mentally prepared with the headline 'Professor slapped by parent for dating her daughter' but not 'teacher sleeping with student in office'."

"But but... You said I'm not your student anymore." She pouted with an aegyo in an attempt to convince me but I did not falter and pinched her cheek reminding her, "Who was it that said she'll respect me huh? Is this the same mouth that kisses my toe to profess it hm?"

"Ow ow ow... I-I'm khidhing.... I'm Showie... Heh Heh..." She chuckled and I let go.
