DIVINE

chapter 13

Maria's pov:

I was in the kitchen packing some pancakes for Woo when my doorbell rang. I knew immediately who it was so I rushed to the door. Yeah, it's the first time I get that excited, I never rush to someone.
Opening the door, there he stood waiting for me to appear.
- Hi, darling.
He said.
- Hello mr. Jung. Please, come in.
I said smirking.
He only smiled too and entered my house.
- Are you ready to go? He asked.
- Yes, just one thing. Here.
I said handing him the pancakes.

He took them and smiled at me, clearly being surprised, but in a good way.
- Thank you. I am sure I will love them.
He said gently.
After that, we got ready and went to the car.
As always, driving with him was never boring. He is such an interesting person and a wise mind even though he is in his 20's .

We arrived at the supermarket to buy what we needed for cooking. I guess we both liked the idea of shopping together for the first time, even if it was for simple groceries.
He always gets down first and comes to open my door. Is a little gesture that means so much to me. Just like the fact that he stays there until I go inside my home safely, or the fact that when we eat together he holds my chair for me to sit. It's such a nice thing.

- So what do you want us to cook?
- Well, in the first place, pasta!
He said turning his face to me while smiling like a child.
- It's your favorite food, so we are gonna make that. Do you want something else?

I was speechless because even though we are something now and we move things slowly with patience, he knows me so well and remembers everything about me. I just wanted to know his favorite things too. What is his favorite fruit? What is his favorite color? I felt inside a feeling that had no name. Every time I discovered a new thing about him, even a little gesture that he made, I found myself wishing to know more. Every detail.

- It's perfect. Thank you.
I said and I got on my tip toes to kiss his cheek.
He was the speechless one now, but I was quick to get a cart and go in the market.
- Come on, Woo!
I yelled.
-Coming, darling!
He catches me fast and I started laughing but what he did next was unexpected.
He lifted me up and put me in the cart and then started running in the market.
It was so fun, it felt like freedom and happiness. We acted like two teenagers that are in love. There we were, the most known korean mafia leader and the well known lawyer, running with a cart. Our laughter could be heard everywhere, we both laughed loudly and something made me believe he didn't laugh or smile a lot, yet with me he did.

Woo Young's pov:
I felt so fucking happy. I have never felt that in so long, since I was a little kid.
She proved to me again that she is my only reason to smile nowadays.
I stopped the cart and I asked her what we should get.
- What kind of pasta did you want?
- What do you meaaaan?! I was having fun, I forgot about the damn pasta.
- I know darling, but I will feed you as well, I gotta take care of you to eat I won't forget that.
I said gently but seriously. She has to eat well.

-Fine.. fine okay hmmm... I don't really know, what I know is that I want a lot of parmigiano!
-Of course love, we buy a lot.
Damn that smile of hers.
-Okay you know what? We should make more types of pasta! I will cook every type of pasta for you tonight.
- Woo Young! That is too much food, maybe you can also give to your men?
- But tonight is about us, not them.
- Of course it is! But if we make such an enormous amount of pasta, you have to share, mister Jung.
-Fine.
She then started giggling and I couldn't help but smile.
We went to the pasta aisle and choose a variety of spaghetti and sauce. Also a lot of ingredients to make our own sauce.
- Don't look at me like that, I was going to the parmigiano section.
I said smiling while looking down at her. Yes she was in the cart during all of the shopping and I swear that was my favorite part. I guess that's how feelings changes people. I could never imagine myself doing this, but with her? I could do the impossible. She brought the best in me and all I wanted was to give her the best in this world.

- We arrived!
I said while standing at the aisle. Meanwhile she got down from the cart and grabbed my attention.
-Please pick one for me, I want to go and get something to drink, we passed that aisle already and we forgot.
She said which caught me by surprise.
- We can just go together?
- No it's okay! I will be fast.
- Alright.
I said even though I had an uneasy feeling about it.
She quickly ran to that aisle like she said but I turned around to choose a parmigiano already.
Why are there so many types?
After I choosed one and I tried to hurry because I didn't feel like leaving her alone, I went in the direction where she was.
I saw her looking indecisively at the drinks, but I couldn't help but notice a guy staring at her.
I could only feel anger burning inside of me, my fists clenched and I cracked my neck trying to keep my calm. She didn't even cared about him, and when she saw me she was so happy.

- Look! This one Woo!
She said pointing at the iced tea.
Seeing that smile made me feel calmer for a bit. But that wasn't enough for me. Leaving the cart aside, I went beside her back, hugging her protectively from the back, holding her like that for a while. When the guy saw that and saw me looking at him like I could kill him in any second, which was possible but not today, he left and never looked back.
I smirked thinking that no one could have her. Just me. She is mine.

- Possessive much?
- Only towards you, love.
She held my hand and smiled.
After that, I payed for the groceries and went to the car together.
I waited until she was inside the car, like always and after putting the groceries in the backseat, I got in the car too.
- You know, you are cute when you are jealous, but I couldn't care lees about anybody else.
She said reassuring me. My girl, she was perfect.
- I know.
I responded knowing that I already thought about a lot of ways of how to rip his limbs off.
I looked at her and I spoke seriously.
- You are mine, Maria.
She looked me in the eyes and smiled.
-You are mine too, Woo Young.
