The Pretend Wife

Thirty.

jennie slowly opened her eyes and was greeted by the morning sunshine that was shining through the huge glass windows in her bedroom.

somebody had drawn the curtains and jennie squinted against the bright light. she turned towards her side and found herself alone in the bed. had she just been dreaming that taeyong was here?

she reached out for one of the pillows and hugged it against her. it smelled faintly of taeyong's perfume. she thought with a smile. taeyong is really here.

she settled herself back into the bed dragging the pillow with her. she recalled everything that had happened yesterday and couldn't help but smile at the memory. taeyong had found her at the empire state building. afterwards they had gone home to have dinner together and had fallen asleep in each other's arms.

jennie couldn't believe that taeyong was actually here. they had been apart for a week and she had missed him like crazy. she was actually giving herself another week before telling mother that she wanted to go home. but now she did not have to do that because he had followed her here. she couldn't help but remember mother's words when she had first told jennie about her plan.

"trust me jennie." she had said. "give him a week or two and he'll fly himself to new york to be by your side." she had declared confidently. jennie was quite skeptical at first but madame lee had been very confident with her conviction that everything will go according to her plan that jennie could not help but give in.

jennie sighed as she stared at the ceiling. everything was going perfectly. The only thing missing now was taeyong's declaration of love that madame lee had predicted would happen.

last night, somewhere in her unconscious mind she had heard taeyong tell her that he loved her. she wasn't sure though if it had been real or if it was just a dream that her mind and her heart had conjured up.

she did not have the guts to ask him about it. what was she going to say anyways? hey yong, did you tell me you love me last night? she was sure she was going to faint first before she could actually get the whole question out of her mouth.

jennie finally decided to get herself out of bed and search for her husband. after putting on a robe she headed towards the bathroom and found it empty. she then left the confines of her bedroom to search for him outside.

to her surprise she found taeyong in the kitchen arranging a basket of bagels and muffins. there was also a huge plate of eggs, bacon and ham on the table as well as a jug of orange juice. the smell of coffee filled the air as hot coffee brewed in the coffee maker.

"before you say anything, nope i didn't cook any of these. not like i can anyways. i had them all ordered at the small café downstairs." taeyong said with a smile.
