Pure Joy

Quality Time

Eun Gi's sleepy eyes fluttered as the morning light hit her face. To her delight, the first thing she saw was the handsome face of her husband. He looked so peaceful while sleeping, something he rightfully deserves after all the hurdles he's been through in his life. Eun Gi was tempted to kiss her husband but she thought that he might wake him up. He needed his sleep after last night's, um, activities. She blushed at the memory. Even after three years of marriage their chemistry is still burning.

She carefully stretched her aching body and rose from the bed. She managed to retrieve Maroo's shirt from the floor before tip toeing to the other end of the room. Eun Gi took her mobile phone to check the time. It was already 7 in the morning, her twins are surely awake by this time. She glanced at the sleeping form of her husband before going to the porch and dialed Choco's number.

"Yoboseyo? Unnie?" Choco answered

"Hi Choco, sorry if I called so early. I just wanted to check on the twins. I hope they are not giving you a hard time."

"Not at all unnie! They're incredibly behave. They're so adorable. Always smiling. They don't cry unless they are hunrgy, wet or away from each other."

The two ladies were having a pleasant conversation about the babies. Eun Gi was so immersed into the conversation that she did not notice Maroo nearing her. She suddenly gasped in surprise when she felt two warm arms wrapping her waist from behind and a chin on her shoulder.

"Unnie? Still there?" Choco called out

"Good morning Choco" Maroo greeted with his sleepy voice

"Ah, good morning oppa. By the tone of your voice it seems you had a very tiring night" Choco teased

"You bet. How's everything there? I hope our twins are not keeping you up at night"

"Nope, just like what I told unnie, the babies are incredibly behave. We are managing it very well, you don't have to worry a thing"

"That's great to know. We owe you a good dinner when we get back"

"Sure thing oppa. Well, I'll leave you two now. Enjoy the rest of your vacation! Bye unnie!"

"Bye Choco, see you soon!" Eun Gi hanged up and turned to her husband. She wrapped her arms around Maroo's neck, "Good morning" she smiled at him lovingly. "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Not much, because my wife kept on fussing around." Maroo grinned which made Eun Gi pout. "Ya, I wasn't fussing around!" She pinched her husband's cheeks. "Alright alright I was only kidding." Maroo enveloped his wife in a warm embrace. "Last night was fantastic. Thank you" he whispered to her ears and Eun Gi tightened her hold around Maroo.

"What do you want to do today?" Maroo asked Eun Gi as they were having their breakfast in the hotel porch.

"Maybe we could go to the market to buy some souvenirs, then we'll see there what else we could do."

"Okay your call since you granted my wish yesterday" Maroo winked at Eun Gi who chuckled in response.

The market place was full of people as it was a Sunday. Maroo held Eungi close to him while looking at the displays. Through these small gestures Eun Gi could feel that she was very much loved by her husband. He may not be the vocal type of guy but he sure does make up for it through his actions. She smiled to herself and moved closer to her husband.

The store owners, like the food stall ahjumma, would mistake them as a newly wed couple, to which they use as an advantage to get discounts. Hours later their hands are full with shopping bags. They stopped at a local restaurant for lunch.
