Our Marriage | Lee Jeno

S E V E N

The couple were shy as they wandered down the practically empty promenade, their hair was blowing gently in the sticky sea breeze and the hot sun caused their cheeks to flush with a dusty pink. Although they had not been walking nor talking for long, Jeno suddenly stopped in his path. Catching both Sori and the cameramen by surprise, as watched him. Jeno gently reached out and took the black bag from Sori's hands again. "Let me take it," He said shyly. Sori nodded and relinquished the tight grip on the bag. But what Jeno said next took her by surprise and made her practically choke on the air, "Now you can hold my hand~" He sung in almost childlike elated voice. It caused Sori to giggle despite her shock, and instead linked her elbow through his.

Sori could tell that she was becoming soft inside for the gentle giant. She didn't mind so much about how her career could grow from this opportunity, maybe instead she could make a genuine friend? She won't have to act her liking towards him anymore, she just to know more about him. So much more.

"Sori?" She snapped out of her thoughts, Jeno had called her, they had once again paused while walking, but this time, the tall man leaned down to be at her eye-level and whispered, almost seductively, "You're gonna have to stop staring at me like that." The shorter brown-haired practically squeaked as she pulled away from him, this caused Jeno to laugh and his cute eye-smile appeared. His happiness was contagious, causing Sori to giggle along as they walked towards the entrance of the coffee shop.

There were a few patrons sat at respective tables enjoying whatever they had, and trying not to look over to the two celebrities and film crew that had just walked in. Jeno glanced down at Sori as she walked towards the counter and ordered herself a hot drink, then joining her after she waved him over. Quite nervously, the cashier that took their order pointed a shaky finger to a table in the corner of the room that was next to the window, "That area will have enough room for all of you, and it has the best view." Jeno smiled graciously at the flustered girl before he tugged on Sori's arm and walked over to the table that was assigned to them.

The couple sat at the table shyly, and waited until the rest of the crew was ready for them to continue. And as soon as the leading cameraman have his nod, Leigh turned vivaciously towards Jeno and happily said, "Let's exchange our gifts now!" Jeno nodded, finding it funny how excited the small girl suddenly was. He lifted the 2 bags and placed them onto the table in front of them, "Who's first?" He asked, unsure. Sori pushed her bag closer to him, signifying hers. Jeno nodded and delicately took out the small box that was tucked inside. He then opened the box to reveal a delicate chain inside, Jeno looked at Sori, questioning. "What is this? Is it a necklace?" She shook her head, "No, its a belly chain... Seeing as, you have a nice body.."

At her words, the people within earshot became embarrassed and blushed ferociously, despite not being part of it. Jeno giggled, "I guess it'll accuntuate my perfect abs~" Sori nodded, suddenly shy. She grabbed the remaining larger bag and tugged it towards herself. She opened it, and inside was a beautifully folded black shirt, with delicate lace on the shoulders. She smiled brightly as she pulled it out and lifted it in front of her, "Its so pretty! I love it!" She happily exclaimed. "I didn't really know what to get yo-" Jeno began before the young woman cut him off, "Its just my style, thank you so much Jeno!" He smiled as he saw the happiness spread across her face, but they were interrupted when the batista from before arrived and placed the two drink in front of them. "One americano and one dark hot chocolate" Sori smiled up at the girl and thanked her before reaching out and grabbing her hot chocolate while Jeno went for his coffee.

"I can't believe you.."

"What?"
