The Falling Petals...🌺

Beautiful-innocent-face...

4:10 PM

To put our plan into action, we were waiting for Pil-woo and Ami-unnie's departure.

Every now and then, one of us would look at the wall clock or a wristwatch. That and a few quiet moments made them realize they were getting late. And....

Bingo!

Pil-woo got up and said, looking at Ami-unnie, "I think we are getting late."

Hearing that, Nari looked at me with her twinkling eyes and I looked at Dae. the three of us were ready for action.

4:12PM

"Eo-meo-ni! I have to leave for KMS," Nari said, like a kid who doesn't really want to do something.

"KMS?? Now? But you don't have classes in the evening right?" her mother asked.

"There is a doubt-clarification session today. Dae also has a class. Ask her....."

"You also have to go?" mom asked Dae.

"Class is there, but I won't go if you don't want me to," Dae replied.

Meanwhile, I rushed in with my lines, "No, no, I think you should go ahead with your class. Even I have to leave soon. A few minutes back, one of my college friends from Busan called up and he wants to see me. I can't ignore him."

Pil-woo asked, "How will you girls go then? Do you want me to drop you?"

Dae replied immediately, "No, Pil-woo. You guys go ahead. KMS is in a totally opposite direction from where you are going. We will manage."

4:15 PM

Things were going as per plan when Pil-woo asked me, "Hoseok, how will you go back to your hotel?"

"OH, I had called up a cab. I think it's there, outside," I answered him, walking towards the door and looking out to confirm.

Looking at her sisters, Ami-unnie said, "Well, in that case, Hoseok can drop you at KMS. It's on his way."

And this was what we wanted to hear.

Ami-unnie looked at me and I pretended that I didn't know. "Oh! KMS will be falling on my way? In that case I can drop you," I turned towards her sisters. It was getting hard to control our smiles, especially when everything was going as planned.

"You won't have any problem right?" Nari asked.

And in my heart, I said, "Come on! Don't overdo it, dumbo." Aloud, I said, "Oh come on! What problem can I have, in giving a life to me gorgeous ladies? The pleasure will be mine." I looked at everybody and smiled.

Dae rushed to her room and came back in ten minutes, having changed. She looked stunning in her black top and white denim. She started moving from one room to another in search of her sandals. Still busy with her dressing up, she didn't notice me.

"Come on, let me show you our room," Nari said and led me to her room, which she shared with Dae. At the door, she gestured with her arm, "This is our room," making my eyes go from right to left.

While she talked about the different things present in the room, I was busy seeing something else. My eyes fell on the bed where there lay something so attention-grabbing, so fascinating. The pink dress, that my lady had taken off herself a few minutes back, was lying on her bed, inside out. It was spread upon the surface on the bed, covering half of it. I don't know why it was exciting for me to gaze at the clothes which she had been wearing the entire day in front of me. Especially, turned inside turned out. Oh boy! The fact that, minutes before, she was in them and they were adhering to her body was sending waved of fantasy through me. A crazy, chilled and warm feeling, that they were still carrying her fragrance in them, in those wrinkles, in the threads of the stitches that were now visible, in that sweet wetness on the underarms. I wished  I could touch them, feel them, breathe them. Had Nari not been there, I would definitely not have been able to stop myself.
