Wait For You 2

Sam Jang bit her nails anxiously. She came a lot earlier in order for her to talk to Wu Kong as much as she can. It was midday therefore everyone was busy eating their meals. She fiddled with hands and tried to calm herself down.

Soon she felt two hands covered her eyes, it was Wu Kong. She yelped in surprise. He lets go of her and turned to her with a smile but that smile immediately dropped as soon as he saw her forlorn expression.

"What's wrong?" he cupped her cheek, his eyes full of worry. Sam Jang bit back the tears; she could not afford to appear weak, not now.

"Wu Kong ah, my father-"she paused and looked at him, "-he has arranged for my marriage."

Son Wu Kong visibly froze, his heart dropped. Sam Jang was going to be betrothed to another man and it was not him. The mere thought of someone touching his lover, even a strand of her was enough to send him riled up.

He looked away from her, his jaw clenching hard. Has she agreed to this? Was she leaving him to go to another man?

But no, his Sam Jang would never do that to him. Wu Kong has known her for more than a decade and she would never betray him like that.

"Wu Kong ah, please look at me." She reached up to caress his cheek and made him look at her. His eyes turned glossy but he was biting back the tears and controlling his anger.

Sam Jang shook her head, "I won't do it. I promise. No one can make me, not even my father." Her voice did not hide her anger when she mentioned her father.

Son Wu Kong visibly relaxed and pulled her in abrupt to embrace her tightly. Sam Jang held onto him in the same manner, her eyes closed as she inhaled his scent. Her most favorite scent in the world

"I-I cannot allow this. You cannot marry him. " Wu Kong whispered In her ear. He reached up to the back of her head to caress her hair.

Sam Jang nodded and held on to him tighter, "I will not."

They stayed like that for a long time before pulling away. Sam Jang was the first one to speak.

"Wu Kong ah, let's run away together." She said in all seriousness. Son Wu Kong was taken back at what she said. Run away?

When he did not say anything, she took both his hands and held it close to her, "Let us elope. Maybe someplace far, far away from these people! A place on the mountains where we could life peacefully. Just the two of us."

Her eyes were full of determination as she looked at him. His heart pained that they were now in that complicated circumstance. Wu Kong immediately wanted to say yes in a heartbeat but something had worried him greatly.

"But Sam Jang, are you sure about this? Can you really leave everything behind? How about your parents?" he paused,

"I-I will not be able to offer you all the luxury that you had grown accustomed to. Your livelihood will drastically change if you are to run away with me. How about your custom made hanboks? Your books? Your silks? The good food on the table?" The thought of her having to sacrifice all the luxuries that she had grown with pained him greatly.

He was just a mere servant with no background, no family and no name to himself. The possibility of him giving her a luxurious life was near to impossible if not, impossible.

Sam Jang frowned and shook her head. Quickly cupped his cheeks, "I don't care for those. I don't care for those extravagant dresses, food or anything-"

"I just want you." She lovingly gazed at him.

Her words warmed his heart and sent a wave of determination to his being. As long as Sam Jang was willing to be with him, he would try everything in his whole being to care for her and her needs. No matter how hard It takes.
