The Clandestine (디 클랜데스틴)

The Clandestine: Chapter 13

It is already latter part of the day when the couple decided to go home.

"Thanks for being with us, Hyun-ah." Mama Tuan kissed the cheek of her future daughter-in-law.

"Come on." Mark held her hand, and was about to pull her when she pulled her hand from his in very forceful way to hug the two adorable kids. He was dumbfounded with her action.

"Auntie, you're so pretty." The kids told her, and they kissed her in the lips. Even though, she was shocked, she still smiled at them. She found it sweet.

"Hey, why did you kiss my girlfriend?" Mark asked and pulled her closer to him. "Her lips are only mine!"

The two little girls frowned. "Why are so selfish, uncle?" one of them asked.

"Of course, I am selfish!"

As they said goodbyes to everyone, he immediately pulled her.

"Are you jealous at them?" Irene asked when they are on the car.

"I don't know."

Irene smiled. "I want to have a two daughters like them."

"Only two? I want ten, or eleven." Mark joked with a smirk.

Irene stared at him. "Do you think we will settle down?" she asked in a serious way. She was curious if what is on his mind, or if he has an idea with that sort of things.

Mark glance at her and focus on driving. "Of course." He answered honestly. "I'm even searching for the beautiful places for our honeymoon."

Irene hissed. "So, are you only thinking about the honeymoon?"

"Of course not!" then Mark reached for his notebook and gave it to her.

She opened it. The first page says, Mark loves Irene.

"This is so corny..." she laughed. "...but it makes my heart flutter."

Then, she turn the next page. Some of their photos together were attached to the pages with a sweet caption. At the next pages, she totally blushed after reading it.

"First kiss, six seconds. Second kiss, one second. Third kiss, one second." She read it loudly and laughed.

Mark immediately took it and hide his notebook because of embarrassment.

Irene touched her cheeks. "I'm blushing." She told herself and looked at her boyfriend, but he was also blushing. "Did you really count how long are kiss?"

"I-I just remembered."

"How about our fourth kiss? Earlier?" she asked teasingly.

"I don't remember." He lied.

She pouted.

He sense her disappointment so he answered, "Seventeen seconds..."

Irene gaped. "Seventeen seconds!? Oh my! Did we really kissed that long?"

Mark nodded like a shy boy. So, she smirked. "You're so sweet so you must receive a reward."

She leaned forward to kiss his cheeks. "That was not considered to be in the list, but don't forget that kiss."

"I won't." Mark promised and held her hand.

Mark let out a long sighed as he sat down on his bed. He stare at his phone, looking at her, his wallpaper. "I'm sorry..." he said. Even though he want to ask her about what happened yesterday, he didn't ask her. Though he is worried about the incident, he better not to show it to her. About the notebook earlier, he was supposed to show her the computation he did on saving for their upcoming plans in life but the most embarrassing moment happened.
