Arranged Marriage to Mr. Nam Woohyun

⤜Chapter Ten: Return⤛

You opened your eyes and smiled at the view in front of you. It was Woohyun. He was sleeping. You gently placed your hand on his cheek.
"What are you doing?"
Huh? Is this a dream? Why is he talking to me?
You looked at Woohyun closely and saw that he had opened his eyes too, now looking at you. You were still processing. The moment you realized that you had invited him to sleep on the same bed last night, you quickly removed your hand from his face and rolled out of bed. You face planted on the ground. You heard Woohyun laughing.

"Yah!" You yelled out. You got up and saw that he was now sitting on the bed.
"Stop laughing. Aish."
"Who told you to roll out like that?" He continued laughing.
"You're really annoying. Maybe I shouldn't have asked you." You said and walked to the bathroom. Woohyun was still laughing.

"You ready?" He asked you. You looked at him and nodded.
Today was going to be a new day. You guys were to hike in Nikko. You were excited since you've never been hiking. You started contemplating if you should tell Woohyun about your feelings. On the other hand, you didn't want it to ruin the relationship you guys already started. You sat looking out the window, while Woohyun drove.

By the time you knew it, you guys had already reached the place. Woohyun and you started walking up the hiking trail. Again, there was no conversation. Woohyun snapped pictures here and there, while you walked behind him.
"Yah! Wait for me." You yelled out to him. Woohyun turned around to look at you and then snapped a picture of you.
"Woohyun, delete that! At least take a pretty one of me." You told him. He chuckled.
"Nope. This will be proof that you whined the whole trip." He said and continued walking.
"I have not whined." You said, and continued hiking up.
You took that opportunity to jog up to him.
Just as you reached him, you had slipped; you grabbed his arm, but missed it.
By chance, Woohyun happened to look back to see your progress. He felt your slight touch, and saw that you were about to slip. He took that opportunity to grab your arm and pulled you into his embrace.
Time had seem to stop, when you were in his embrace. He had wrapped his arms around you, securing you. Meanwhile, you didn't know, but you had hugged him too.

Woohyun broke the hug, by pulling you away slightly, looking at you.
"Uh, are you okay?"
Nothing came out, besides a nod from you.
"Be careful next time." He said, and then continued walking. You were still processing about what had happened just then.
Woohyun felt that weird feeling again. He ignored it and continued walking and talking pictures of the nature. You noticed that Woohyun had slowed down, waiting for you. You felt those butterflies again.

You finally caught up to Woohyun, as he was still snapping pictures. You sat down on a rock.
"Thank you." You said. He looked at you.
"I only did it because I didn't want to carry you back down." He said, and continued taking pictures.
"Yah, I'm just being nice. You always have the ruin the moment." You said to him. He chuckled.
"I'm for real." He replied.
"How long are we staying in Tokyo?" You asked him.
"5 days." He responded.
"Oh, wow! That's quite long." You whispered.
"Why?" He said, setting his camera down, dangling on his neck.
"Oh, nothing. We need it." You said.
"Yea, we do." He said. "Come on. Let's keep going. We still have a long way to go." He said, and held out his hand for you to take it. You looked at his hand.
"I can get up myself." You chuckled. "I'm telling you. You like holding my hand." You teased. You had started walking your way up the trail.
Woohyun didn't know why he did what he did. It was like his body had involuntarily did it on its own. He felt a little embarrassed, but continued to follow you up. He was happy that you were in front now. He could finally snap pictures of you.

You guys took another break, while Woohyun was taking a few more pictures. You sat down, waiting for him to finish taking his pictures. A group of friends happened to hike pass you guys. They noticed that you were sitting there, while Woohyun was taking pictures. One of the girls came up to you and spoke in Japanese.
