They did get free drinks and food, but it was too early for dinner.
Jung Woo insisted in taking them for lunch and they ended up going to a very expensive restaurant (or so Hana continued saying) and ordering a bottle of wine for all of them. Eun Soo helped Choi Young choose something and the man just looked at the pile of utensils sprawled before him; today should work as test for his dinner with the president. The best man said a little toast and wished the newlyweds happiness in their union, and they drank the wine. Choi Young was a little hesitant at first, but once he tasted the liquid he had to admit it was really good. So unlike the soju he'd tasted before. Sun Hi took her daughter's hand and kissed her, before looking down at the slim fingers.
"Honey, you aren't wearing your ring? Why?" There was a short silence, and everyone turned to Choi Young, who looked around the table nervously, before reaching into the inside pocket of his blazer and pulling out a small box. "The groom was too nervous or happy to put the ring on!" Said Sun Hi, smiling. Turning Eun Soo looked down at the jewels Choi Young offered, gasping softly.
"Where did you get these?"
"For Imja." Was all Choi Young said, and smiled. He took the little one, the one Tae Hyun said Imja would like, and put it around her fourth finger. She did the same for him, but his wedding band was a simple thicker design, and took gave his hand a squeeze. He leaned to kiss her, and a loving 'aww' was heard from Eun Soo's mother.
"I couldn't have wished for such a good son in law, don't you think Husband?" Asked Sun Hi to Kang Dae who was turning away, pretending he was coughing. "Don't cry they are very happy."
"I'm not crying, I have something in my eye."
"I just want to know why he has to take that trip to the States and doesn't know when he's coming back." Commented Hana, as the entrees were delivered. "And why can't Eun Soo come with you? It's so sad."
"It won't take that long, I'm sure he'll be back soon."
"I'm just sad I have to remind you she's still healing."
"Oh yeah, no boinking till she's a hundred percent fine."
"Hana!" Growled Eun Soo, blushing. "My parents are here, behave." Hana smiled at Kang Dae and Sun Hi, who were grinning while Choi Young shook his head and lowered his eyes in shame.
"Anyway," Said Kang Dae, after clearing his throat. "I hope this trip won't happen before our dinner with the President."
"Actually I leave the day after that dinner, sir." Eun Soo turned to Choi Young, a little surprised, and a cold silence fell over the table. "So I will be relaying on you and Mother-in-law to take good care of Eun Soo while I'm gone."
"Of course, we will gladly."
"Don't let her starve, force her to eat if need be, and work hard on her research. And don't let her wonder around alone, please, I will be very worried."
"Of course, of course." He seemed to be saying goodbye more than giving them instructions on how to care for his new bride. Eun Soo was uncharacteristically quiet, and that worried both Hana and her mother. Lunch was delivered soon after and soon Jung Woo managed to squeeze in a neutral subject that had everyone chatting and forgetting about Choi Young's sudden and strange request.
After lunch Eun Soo's parent went back home, still in possession of Eun Soo's car. Jung Woo had an emergency call, so he had to leave for work; Hana in the other hand stole Eun Soo away from her new husband, claiming there was something important she needed to tell her. Choi Young browsed through the stores around him, not really interested in the articles around him. He'd entered a large department store (or so the letterhead said) and was walking to pass the time… until he found a little item that Eun Soo would love. Or so he thought; he stared at the item for a while before a sales girl approached him.
"Are you interested?"
"Excuse me?"
"Are you browsing for a gift? Probably for your girlfriend?" She asked again, smiling at him.
"Ah, yes. I want to buy my wife something nice." The girl seemed crestfallen for a second, but recovered. Maybe she was thinking on hitting on him (or so Eun Soo called it), but now that he was married he could slip out and away from them.
"We have it in several colors. What is your wife's favorite?"
Choi Young stared at her, and the girl reached into the glass box between them and pulled a large box with the same item but as promised, in different colors. "The red one." He quickly said, pointing at the item.
"They can be bought in pairs too, if you like." Choi Young took the item the girl offered, and turned it around. "And we can also gift wrap it for you."
"I would like a pair, please."
"Would you like to have it engraved?" The idea was tempting but he had no time to explain exactly what he wanted, Eun Soo was sure to return soon.
"No, probably next time."
"If you like you can return with the item later on and have it engrave it."
"That would be nice."
"I'll wrap it for you quickly, just a minute."
"Thank you." He stood in place as the woman moved to wrap the small box selected and drummed his long fingers on the glass. There were many pretty items here, it was very surprising how the crafts had grown through the years. Something this complex would take months, if not years to make back in Goryeo. Ten minutes later Choi Young got a call from his wife, who asked him where he was.
Hana was now gone, and Eun Soo walked towards him with a small black paper bag, blushing. The gift he'd bought for her was in his pocket, tucked away for her to receive later. "Did you wait long?" She asked softly, smiling.
"No, I just sat down. Are you alright? Do you hurt? You are blushing."
"My hemoglobin must be up I guess." She said with a nervous smile. "What should we do now?"
"Don't you want to walk around for a bit?" She liked shopping, he could tell from that time she bought him all those clothes.
"Sure, how about ice cream?"
"Sounds good."
Choi Young explained a few things about marriage during the Goryeo times and she laughed. How much things had changed and how many good traditions had been lost… He would have loved to watch her wearing the colorful wedding dress, her face painted and hair done more beautiful than her short engagement with the poisonous bastard… "Still when I get a job I shall shower you with gifts. I am yet to give your parents a dowry."
"I like the sound of that, what kind of gifts?"
"Usually clothes and jewels,"
"I really like the sound of that! Wait, you'll give me large parcels like the ones I received back then?"
"Probably, why?"
"I returned all those parcels, but I won't return yours! So be warned, whatever you give me I will keep!"
"I hope you do, it means you wish for our marriage to happen, or in this case; to continue." She offered some of her ice cream, and he ate; he had to admit that it was good, but not the best. He liked fruity flavors while she inclined to more…exotic things; chocolate was not his favorite to say the least. "We should get you something new for the dinner with the president. Would you like to try some suits on?"
"Is it absolutely necessary? Can't I use something of what I have already?" He didn't like using money, he liked what he wore and if the president did that was his own fault, so Choi Young had no need to buy any new clothes. Eun Soo didn't push it too much, knowing she might get him to wear something new; she still had a week to buy him some clothes. Finally Choi Young commented they should go home.
"Home, we should take a trip, to celebrate our honeymoon." Whatever that was, Choi Young wasn't asking.
"Mm."
"We can travel to Jeju Island and bask in the sunlight. I would love to take vacation time and travel with you."
"We traveled a lot in Goryeo Imja, remember?"
"No, we walked a lot, it's not the same."
.

"Ok, Eun Soo you can do this. Fighting! Don't give up!" This odd comment to herself had Eun Soo remembering her days in Goryeo and how she had almost given up the idea of been happy there. But now she was married to the man her heart desired, the most important person for her, and she was decided in at least making out in the couch till she fainted. She didn't hurt, she asked Hana if she could have sex (the woman's eyes had glinted with mischievous joy) and had been dragged to an adult shop again. The things Hana suggested were outrageous but the teddy she bought for Eun Soo as Maid of Honor was so pretty she wanted to at least wear it to sleep in her wedding night.
She was sure they would celebrate their wedding night eventually, but she at least wanted to cuddle sensually with her husband; was it too much to ask? Choi Young had already point out he would make it up to her when she got better but she wanted to at least touch and be touched. They could finish it up with her like they finished the shower the other day, she didn't mind; actually she was looking forward to it.
If anyone heard her they might think she was a lust driven fool.
And happy.
She could do this. So nodding to herself, looking down and searching for any flaws, Eun Soo took a deep breath. She was perfect; so she strolled out the room and towards the living room, where Choi young was playing with the IPad. "Young-ah, do you like how I look?" She asked, slyly, moving to stand right before him and posing, as Hana had instructed before him. Sensually so, she wiggled her hips, moving the folds of her teddy. He looked her up at down as if bored and returned quickly to his IPad.
"I think it's too short."
Too short? It was a see through item, for Pete's sake, and she'd totally forgone the G-string that was supposed to be worn. Maybe it was her scars… She moved back to the room, pouting and sat on the bed, arms crossed. He didn't even look at her, properly; he just deadpanned it was too short and that's it? Didn't he want her anymore? She'd been applying anti-scar cream to her incisions; it couldn't be they were that ugly. Eun Soo looked down, lifting the teddy's hem, at her tummy and traced the little incisions, worried they might look too bad for her.
The sound of running shower startled her and she turned. Was Choi Young using the shower outside the room? Why? The man in question appeared at the door and let out a gasp of surprise. "Imja what are you doing?"
"I was… checking the stitched, they look good." For a second he stared at her but eventually reached out for her hand. "Come with I have a surprise for you."
"What?"
"Come on," He encouraged her, and when she finally followed he dragged her quickly to the storage/bathroom, where a thin mist was covering the air. "I wanted to give you a bath."
"What for?"
"We are married, and I want to take good care of you. Come on." She allowed him to remove the see through teddy, and swallowed hard when his eyes scanned through her boy as if inspecting her. He then searched for a small towel and gathered her hair up, so it wouldn't get wet, and kissed her forehead and cheek, dropping kisses down to her shoulders and stopping at the back of her neck. When he was satisfied with his actions, Choi Young took her hand and guided her towards the filled tub, helping her in. "Just relax, I'll be back in a minute."
"Where are you going?" She asked, a little surprised.
"I'll be right back." As he left the room, Eun Soo sat back against the tub, finding a small pillow to cushion her neck. The water perfectly warm, just like she liked it and covered with bubbles. He must have used her favorite shower gel.
She sighed and looked around, finding boxes, a few towels over the toilet seat and a couple of foil packages over the nearby counter. She sat up, and turned to the door, where there was no sign Choi Young and moved to take a closer look.
Two condoms.
Oh. My. God. She giggled to herself; she was getting some action in her wedding night! Covering her mouth with both hands and giggling like a fool she leaned on the pillow and felt excitement bubble in her. Any kind of action would be welcomed, even if just touching; but why would he leave two condoms around? That Choi Young! That rascal! The woman in her laughed out loud and did little summersaults inside her, butterflies flew from her stomach all over her body and she just let the water relax her… or tried to.
"Imja," Called his husky voice, echoing in the bathroom, making her heart jump in joy.
"Yes?" She squeaked out, making a fool of out herself. He appeared from the side, wearing his pajama pants. Nothing else. She almost licked his chest but she controlled herself.
"Would you like some wine? I found some left in the fridge."
"Sure." She hadn't taken her pills today, too busy and excited to think about pills. Choi Young left and came back quickly, with one cup of wine.
"This is all there's left. I guess we'll have to share."
"It's alright." She said softly, and took the glass from his hands. As she drank from the glass and leaned back on her pillow Choi Young undressed, and without further ado joined her in the tub. She swallowed hard, nervous, and made way for him to rest his long legs… but it was almost impossible, he was too long for the tub. She laughed as he tried to get comfy and simply placed the cup on the ledge and moved to get more comfortable lying against him. Choi Young welcomed the change and wrapped one arm around her, while his hand reached for the cup of wine. "When we buy a house, we can have a big tub made for both of us."
"Of course."
"And we can buy bath salts and all those niece products for baths, we'll scrub each other's back any chance we get."
"I was considering doing other things, not scrub backs."
"Naughty Daejang." He drank from the cup and kissed her lips, sharing a bit of wine.
"The water's really nice, I thought it was too hot."
"No, it's perfect." Said Eun Soo kissing his chin and rested against him. He asked if she wanted some more wine but she refused, and he finished it, setting the cup away. They were quiet for a few minutes, enjoying the water and the little caresses they shared while just relaxing; kisses were dropped her and there, their fingers slid up and down. Finally Choi Young lifted his hands and weighted her breasts tenderly, kissing her shoulder. Her hardened nipples were caught between his fingers, and he pinched them lightly, making her moan softly.
"Do you hurt?" He asked softly, breathing in the scent of her skin.
"No." She wondered if he was making sure she was ready, maybe by the way his hand insisted in continue touching south. His hand moved quickly down her body, after all her body was small and his hands were large and sprawled. He hesitated slightly when his skin felt the stitches, but she encouraged him by arching against his palm, and Choi Young dove in. She gasped, as his fingers found her center and while kissing her neck, he played down there, making her squirm and moan. His lips left hot kisses down her shoulder, one hand squeezed her left breast while his right hand found the little button of desire that no other man was allowed to find. One of his legs slid between hers and spread her better for his ministrations, while his voice finally reached her ear.
"If you hurt, at any moment, I will stop."
"I'm not…" She moaned his name softly, and hid her face against his neck, surprised at how quickly she was aroused. "I don't…"
"I've wanted to do this for a while now." He whispered to her ear, making her body shake with surprise. The mixture of sensations, of his voice and his hardness pressing against her hip while his fingers found her center tight and ready for him… it was all intoxicating. She wanted to give him the same pleasure, but her brain wouldn't connect with her hand, and there was a short circuit happening too fast in her entire system. Her lower body lifted and a low moan left her, echoing in the walls of his throat, and making him shudder and groan. "And you've seem to want it for a while as well."
She gasped and went limp against him, panting for dear life while the rivulets of passion wrecked through her body indiscriminately while his voice created havoc on her nerves that were still shooting crazy signals all over her. He promised nights of love and passion, of fantasies come true but above all, nights spent pressed together. Eun Soo turned towards him, her breast pressing against his chest, while her arms wrapped around her husband's body. She kissed his chest and shoulder and leaned against him, sighing. His hardness was snuggled between them, warm and twitching from time to time, as if begging for attention.
"Let me scrub your back, and then we'll get out, alright?"
"What about you?"
"I'm fine, Imja, if not my wife can take care of me in bed."
"Why not here? Your wife is very willing to help you right now."
"Well," He chuckled. "I want your lips around me, and not just my lips. And it would be a bit difficult under water."
"I thought… the condoms…" She stuttered making his brow furrow.
"What condoms?"
She pointed at the two foiled packages over the nearby shelf and he turned, blinking at the items. "Would you like at that; how did those get here?" There was a moment of silence; Eun Soo gasped and pulled away from Choi Young, covering her mouth.
"You mean… you didn't put them there?"
"No." He didn't seem to understand why she was so shocked. If he hadn't put those there, and her father had been the one to clean up the room… the question was; how those condoms did made their way into the spare bathroom?
