Choi Young Do- Knight in A Shining Armor ? *Completed*

Chapter 9: 첫사랑(cheos-sarang)- First Love

Choi Young Do and his mother had a lot to catch up. Young Do took SiYa in guest room and made her sleep. He came back. They took a long walk on the memory lane. "So how did you guys meet?" Young Do asked. "We went to collage together. I saw him first in the library. I could not take my eyes off his handsome face. I went to him and asked if he had any girlfriend." Eoma told him. "So you asked him first?" He asked her. She only smiled. So it runs in the family- Love at first sight. Thought Young Do thinking about Cha Eun Sang. A smile appeared on his face.

And out of nowhere his mom said "I will tell you, how will you know that you have found someone. When you take her name in a conversation more than necessary. When you can not see that person unhappy, You would do anything to get a smile on her face. And if someone tries to do it for that person, you absolutely cannot take it. And the girl that comes to your mind when I was telling you is the one.""This is ridiculous..that was just once.. Si Ya was really sick and I sang just one song. She cracked up like..." His voice trailed off. His mother just smiled. "Eomma, It is not what you think. There is this girl , I really like. SiYa knows about her too. Her name is Cha Eun Sang. She is the one I want to be with." He tried to convince her. "Arrasso." was his mother's only response. She left him in the living room. He was sleeping on sofa today.

************

He could not get a wink of sleep. He started pacing in the living room, thinking about was his mother had said. He remembered all his conversations lately. All he talked about was SiYa. What would SiYa think was his first thought before doing anything. Not doubt that she had become voice in his head. He remembered clearly when SiYa went to the picnic with her family and Kim Tan went there along with his brother. He remembered looking at the picture of her looking at Kim Won. A pang of jealousy hitting his heart. And then he remembered going to the same picnic uninvited, and sticking to SiYa all day long , making sure that she only be with him. He remembered how he felt when he read the letter SiYa wrote for Kim Won. How he secretly wished that SiYa would write him a one - A letter , a longing gaze, a stupid smile that she gave to Kim Won. Just for the moment, he then felt that he was Kim Won - her First Love. He remembered feeling so desperately to keep SiYa by his side. He remembered warmth of her embrace.

"No way.. this is ridiculous." He thought. He looked at the stairs that led to the guest room where SiYa was sleeping. He went to her room.He sat on the chair in front of the bed. He looked at her in the moonlight. She seemed at peace. Not like the feisty young girl she was , She looked content. Then a smile appeared on her face. She must be having a happy dream. He thought. Who is she dreaming about? -Me came the answer or Kim Won. He could not handle the thought of she dreaming about him. Then he saw her shivering under her blanket. He remembered SiYa's warm arms trying valiantly cover him when he was feeling cold ."You catch cold so easily." She said.

He got off his chair. ' What are you thinking? Don't be stupid. Is it really necessary?...Yes.' He silent all the doubts wreaking his mind. He got inside the blanket and lied there next to her. He drew a long breath and put his hand under her neck and drew her towards him. He was looking at her. She opened her eyes for a brief moment. "Ya. Why are you here?" She tried to protest half heartedly, not before falling asleep in his arms again. Her breaths were warming his heart. Young Do knew that there was no logical explanation to what he was doing. He had no answer for any rational whys. He just wanted to confirm his doubt or rather comfort his doubting heart. It felt right.

And suddenly SiYa drew her face closer to his. His heart almost skipped a beat. And his lips moved almost on their own accord, they drew closer to hers and He kissed her, she tasted sweet and soft. She opened her eyes . She was half awake half asleep, yet she obeyed his demanding lips as if for that moment, she was too in love with him. She too wanted him too dearly. Young Do withdrew himself staring at her red swollen lips. He was wide awake, his lips still trembling with their short lived adventure, besides him SiYa was fast asleep."Andwae.. I like Cha Eun Sang." He muttered before getting off SiYa's bed and leading to the sofa where a sleepless night awaited him.
