LOVE REQUIRES SACRIFICE

FIFTY ONE

In the morning, Chorong eyes felt really heavy to open her eyes. She shut off the alarm and try to open her eyes. After a few attempt, at last she open her eyes. Moving Suho's hand on her waist slowly not to wake him up and get up from the bed. Once she was on her feet, her head start to spin and automatically sit on the edge of the bed again.

She tries to close her eyes and take a deep breath and let it go. The she open her eyes and felt relax. The pain on her head was gone. She got up again and walk straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Once she was done and got change into comfortable yet appropriate clothes. Tying her hair up into pony-tale, she let Suho sleep longer since is just 7 in the morning and walk down and straight to the kitchen.

Once she was in the kitchen, the maid greet her and she smile and greet back.

"What's for breakfast, Mrs. Shin?"

"The main is beef kimchi stew and the side dish is, kimchi, egg roll, and fish."

Chorong nod and said "Can I help anything?"

"No, Mrs. Chorong. It's fine. We can do it."

"First call me Chorong. Second, let me help. At least let me cook the egg or stew."

"No ma'am...I mean Chorong. If Mr. and Mrs. Kim know, I'll get scold."

"Don't worry. You won't." Chorong take the extra apron and wear it. "Let me help."

Mrs. Shin felt guilty but still nod. Then Chorong start to help her buy cutting the ingredient. In the end, Chorong was the one who cook stew and Mrs. Shin cook the side dish. Once everything is done, they start to serve the table by placing the utensils and the side dish. Just the time they were almost done, Mr. Kim and Mrs. Kim walk in holding Haneul hand. Then Namjoo follow.

"Good morning mom, dad, Namjoo."

"Good morning." All of them said.

Then they heard Suho voice.

"Mom, dad, Namjoo."

"Yes son. Were in the dining room."

Suho was walking in the dining room and didn't saw Chorong. "Did you see my wife? She wasn't even in the bed."

Just then, Chorong walk out from the kitchen bringing the side dish that left.

"There you are." Suho said in happy tone.

Chorong frown and ignore Suho. Once everything was done, all of them sit down. Once she sits down, Suho move closer and whisper "I didn't get my morning kiss today. And I want it. I'll claim it later."

Chorong look at Suho in shock and said "Grow up." And they start eating. Mr. Kim, Mrs. Kim and Namjoo saw it and just smile looking at Suho and Chorong.

When they were having their breakfast, Mrs. Kim said "Mrs. Shin. Your stew taste different today. It's so good."

"I didn't cook the stew today Mrs. Kim. It was Chorong."

Mrs. Kim look at Chorong and saw Chorong was just able to smile.

"It's really good Chorong. This is the first time I taste your food."

"Thank you, mom." Chorong said shyly.

Then Mrs. Shin said "It's good Chorong and Mr. Suho leave in a different house. If not I will need to find another job."

Everyone just laugh. After the dinner, they sit down in the living room and start discussing about the party for tomorrow night.

In the evening, Haneul came to Chorong and rub her eyes.
