Babe, I Love You

The Encounter

Yejin woke up from her slumber when she heard multiple knocks on her door. It's Son Yeoseop, her younger brother and only sibling.

"Noona! Noona! Noona (older sister)! Yaaaa! Breakfast is ready... go downstairs now! And someone's looking for you. Palli! (faster)" Yeoseop shouted while banging at her door.

"Uhmmm... Oh... Arasseo (okay)..." She murmured.

She felt physically exhausted. Like a feeling of doing some intense cardio at the gym. Her legs can't move, and she has cramps in her lower abdomen. She slowly twists her body straight in bed and looked at the ceiling.

Oh, she remembered what she and Bin did last night. She smiled and giggled. She took the pillow beside her and hugged it while her shoulders are moving upside down. Yejin can't believe that they finally made love last night. It's been a while since she felt like this. The feeling of being in love with someone you like and being loved.

While she was still flying on her thoughts, her phone rang.

Calling...
Babe Bin ❤️

Panicking a little, she almost fell from her bed but immediately recovers after holding a grip from the bedsheet. She then gets her phone excitedly beside her study table. She took a deep breath and slides the green button.

"Wise men say... only fools rush in... but I can't help falling in love with you..." he sang from the other line.

Shucks! She melts. Her heart melts. What did she do in her past life to hear an angelic voice this morning? She's lost in her thoughts again, so she wasn't able to answer him.

Bin couldn't hear a response from her, so he continued, "Baby? Are you there?"

"Baby?"

"YEJIN?"

She came back to herself after Bin calls her name, "Babe, yes! I'm here. Sorry, I just woke up."

Bin chuckled and added, "Good morning to the most beautiful woman in the world and in my life."

"Good morning, babe." she lays down on her bed since she cannot contain the butterflies in her stomach anymore.

"Make sure to have fun with your family today, okay? Send me a picture of you later. I really miss you already. I love you, I love you, I love you, my baby Yejin." he uttered in a very sweet voice.

She answered, but trying her best not to let her giggles out, "Mmmm... Yes, I will. I miss you too, babe and I love you."

Their call ended, but Bin's voice is still lingering in Yejin's ear. It looks like the pain she felt earlier washes away like a tsunami. God, what is happening to you, Yejin?

After taking a quick shower, she went downstairs to have breakfast with her family. Yes, she's at her parent's house since it's Son's Family Day.

While she's on her way, in her peripheral view, she can see a familiar two women sitting in their dining area. When she went closer, she immediately recognized them. Her father's sister, Son Myeongja, and her cousin Park Boyoung.

"Wait, imooo (aunt)???" she hugged her aunt and showed a big smile to her. She then looked at her cousin and hold her arms.

"Boyoung-ah!!! You've grown into such a fine lady... It's been what? 7 years? I missed you so much!" she hugged her tightly.

"I miss you too, eonnie (older sister)! You're so pretty... You haven't aged a day." Boyoung stated.

Boyoung and Yejin were very close since they were kids, but they parted when the Park family migrated to the Philippines for their business.
