Episode 7 (Present day)
The alarm clock ringing at 7am in the morning. I’m so lazy to wake. Looking at my daughter who is still sound asleep, make my eyes dropping again. The next alarm ring at 7:30am, make me jump from my sleep. Suddenly, I remember that Gabriel is picking me up at 10:00 am. I really don’t know what he want from me. Then my phone beeping a message and its from Gabriel. “Wear something casual”. I wake up. Tidy the bed. Walking to the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror, thinking.. what the hell I’m doing?. I let myself falling back again to him and let him manipulate me. But he did not manipulate me. I just not strong to fight. I just follow his flow. That’s not what supposed to happen...
Arghhhh.... I feel so mad and annoy that I cant even say no to him. I just don’t want him to make my life more complicated and miserable. I feel so lost. I promised myself before I came back to Korea that I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. No one can hurt me again. And now, I’m get ready to see him. Going out with him. “Stop punishing yourself and overthinking about this date. Maybe he just want to talk and nothing else. Don’t be so excited. You might get hurt at the end”. Trying to calm myself.
After taking a warm bath to freshen myself, I put on a simple light yellow with big white floral short sleevehigh knee dress. Put a simple make-up and nude lipstick and tie my hair into a ponytail. Then I heard a knock on my bedroom door. “Come in”, I yelled. Minho peer his head from the door, his eyes shining and without hesitantly,” Wowww... sis, you look beautiful. Hmmm.... I thought you said he forced you into meeting him but looking at how prepared you are, it seems to me that you are looking forward for this date also”...he smirk naughtily at me.
I just rolled m eyes. “Yes, he forced me into this date but it doesn’t mean that I can’t be in my comfortable ways and don’t worry I will not bow before him”.
“We’ll see about that sis. Good luck then...”. He just laugh out loud disappearing out from my room.
My brow just crunch looking at him. Just a few moment, he’s back, “He’s here, baby girl”. And I frown in question. He just rolled his eyes, “Gabriel is here and waiting outside already”. I pick up my bag and sling it to my body and walk down the stairs. My daughter is eating pancakes with her Eomeoni (Grandma). Cupping her face and kissing him on her forehead, cheeks and nose, I hug her. “Mummy, you are beautiful. Are you going out with uncle?” I just nodded. She hug me tightly and pull my head closely to her and whisper, “ Uncle is handsome, Mummy and I think he likes you”. Then she giggle. I just smile and put her back on the chair. “Mady, don’t be naughty and listen Eomeoni ya?” Mady just nodded.
