My Instant Marriage

Eunbi woke up 6’O clock in the morning with the help of her daily alarm on her smart-phone. She heard some noises come from the kitchen so she gets down from the bed and straight away headed to the kitchen. As she saw Young-soo was preparing the breakfast she wished him ’good morning’ with her deeper morning voice.

He just ignored her without replying her.

"Are you still angry with me?"

"Today I have prepared some bread omelettes for breakfast hope you’ll have it without complaining. And I have some important meeting so today I’m leaving earlier than usual, you have your breakfast and go to collage of your own." He said dully and turned off the gas stove. As he walks out of the kitchen she grabbed his hand, "wait, I need to talk to you it’s more important than your official work..." she stops speaking to him all of a sudden and touches his forehead, then his cheeks and neck and realized that he was burning up with fever. " Young-soo you having fever, first let go to the Doctor to treat your fever."

He shoved her hand weakly, "I’m not a kid to go to the Doctor as soon I get fever, I had tablets for fever so I’ll be alright soon. And stop meddling in my business." He said and went to his room changed into formal clothes and left the house without saying anything to Eunbi.

Eunbi was angry at his behavior she went to college without having the breakfast. At the college she couldn’t concentrate on the classes, and didn’t speak to her friends she kept on thinking about Young-soo. During the break time she made phone calls to Young-soo but he didn’t answer her calls. She impatiently waits for the classes to end. In the evening after the classes she grabs a taxi and went to meet Young-soo at his office.

Once she reaches at Young-soo’s hotel, she enquires at the administration desk whether Young-soo is available at the moment and she wanted to meet him immediately. The staff at the administration desk questioned Eunbi about the purpose of the meet. Eunbi could understand why the staff member was collecting the information about the meet but she was irritated at the same time so she just replied rudely, "I’m his wife, stop enquiring me, and take me to his office now."

The staff bowed her head and apologized to Eunbi, and then she escorted Eunbi to Young-soo’s office-room.

In his office-room Young-soo was surprised with Eunbi’s visit. As soon the admin staff left his office-room Eunbi yelled at him, "What do you think of yourself, why you are not answering my calls, don’t you have some manners? I can’t hold my angers anymore I’ve already apologized to you for touching your things without your permission but you are treating me as if I’ve committed some kind of crime. Few months back you took my educational qualification certificates without my permission did you forget that? Stop pretending as if you are a perfect man."

Young-soo gets down from his chair, "I’m sorry for that, I was busy with my work that’s why I didn’t answer your phone calls and will you lower down your voice, this is my office not our house." He took a deep breath, "now tell me why you tried to contact me on the phone?"

"It’s because I wanted to know whether your fever was reduced or not." She said softly.

"Yeah, I’m feeling better now. Are you happy? He asked her. "I’m busy with my work, so now you go to our house," He said and took his smart-phone to call his personal chauffeur to drop Eunbi in their house.

She shook her head. "No I’ll not go to our house now, because I came here to know not only about your fever but also to talk to you about your trauma."

"If you are here to talk about that matter then please get out of my office because I don’t like to discuss about that matter with you. And I’m reminding you once again that this is my office not our house, I don’t like to discuss about our personal matter in my office. Therefore, now go to our house when I’m being nice to you."

She sat down in his office couch, fold her arms together against her chest firmly, "no I’ll not move an inch from here until you promise me that you’ll open-up about your trauma to me."

"Eunbi, stop testing my patience, now stop behaving like a kid and go to our house," he raged at her.

"I’m not behaving like a kid, Young-soo you are the one that is adamant like kid to open-up about your problem."

He shook his head with annoyance, took his coat, hung it on his forearm, grabbed his office bag, and stalked near to her, "come lets go to our house."

She shook her head side to side, "no I’m not coming until you promise me that you’ll open-up about your trauma to me."

Young-soo looked at her and took a deep breath, "I promise you."

She looked back at him and asked, "About what?"

He tightly pressed his lips together in line, "I promise you that I’ll open-up about my trauma to you." He said and grabbed her hand, pulls her off of the couch, "are you happy, now come let’s go to our house."

Once they reach the house and as soon they entered in the house Eunbi put her backpack on the sofa and asked him, "Now tell me what caused you to use the panic-attack pills."

He put his office bag and coat on top of her backpack, "may I know why you are so curious to know about my problems?"

"It’s because I’m your friends."

He smirked and lifts his brows, "my friend."

She just ignored the way he smirked at her and asked him, "I always wanted to ask you about this when you stay with your parent in Seoul that, why do you used to have the foods in your room, and lock yourself in your room once you get back from your office. And even that day when we had the first dinner along with my parents all of a sudden you looked so uncomfortable and sick when one of the house maids approached you, may I know the reasons?"

"Eunbi, if you think that you are brave enough to handle or manage everything in your life and capable to solve other’s problems easily then you are absolutely wrong, because some people have unsolvable problems in their life."

"First you open up about your problem to me and then we will decide whether it is solvable or unsolvable one." Eunbi replied.

"You are not a God to solve people problems or do you own any time machine to go back and change my wrong doing which I made in the past." He yelled out at her with rage.

"God will never come directly to the earth to solve your problems, he will come in the structure of human being, and it may be one of your family members, friends, colleague, or a complete stranger. You should trust your loved ones that they will help you out to overcome from the problem which you are facing by yourself."

"EUNBI, I TOLD YOU TO STOP TALKING AS IF YOUR ARE CLEAVER ENOUGH ON EVERYTHING," he yelled at her and marched to his room and slammed the door. He took a few steps from the door put his hands on either side of his hips and closed his eyes to control his anger, but in a few seconds the memories from his past flashed in his mind that a woman lying down on the stretcher with foamy spittle on her mouth. He quickly opened his eyes breathes heavily as his nostrils pulsing, his heart beats with rapid speed, his vision was blurred, and he felt lightheadedness. He managed to stand steadily by repeating these words to himself- you will be alright, you will be alright. He opened the drawer of the bedside table and look for the medicine bottle of his panic-attack but it wasn’t there. He walked slowly near to the room door by leaning his hand against the wall for support. Hence, his vision was blurred only after several attempts he was able to open the door. He walked out of his room to ask help from Eunbi but he tripped over his own feet and fell down on the floor.

As Eunbi was still in the living room, she rushed towards him as soon she saw him trip and fell down on the floor. She knelt down beside him, made him sit down on the floor, and asked, "Young-soo, are you alright?"

He lifted his head, looked at her but her face looked so blurry to his visions, and he weakly asked her to bring his pills bottle from his office bag. She nodded her head and quickly took the pills bottle from his office bag, filed some drinking water in a glass, she came near to him and sit down next to him. "How many pills you need to take? She asked him.

"O-one" he replied.

She opened the bottle cap, and took out a pill. She placed the tip of the water glass over his lips; he sipped some water and opened his mouth. She fed the pill; as soon as he swallowed the pill she gently rubbed his throat.

"Please stay beside me, Eunbi" he said and hugged her tightly, "please don’t leave me alone, and stay by my side."

She was so sad to see this side of Young-soo, this was her second time to see him sick and weak, she hugged him back, "alright, alright I will stay right beside you, don’t worry." Through the hug she could feel his heart beat- it was beating with a rapid speed and his body was trembling so badly with fear. He hugged her tighter than before Eunbi felt difficulty in breathing so she gently tapped his shoulder, "Young-soo you are hugging me so tight, it hurts, and I couldn’t breathe." He broke the hug and weakly apologized, "I’m sorry."

After a few minutes she helped him to stand up but he stumbled to stand, she encircled one of his arms around her shoulder and walked him to his room. She made him lay down on the bed and asked him, "Shall I call an ambulance services for help?"

He held her hand, "no need I will be alright if I take some rest, please stay by my side, never leave me alone until I get back to normal," he exclaimed, and the tears fell down from his eyes.

She sat down on the bed beside him by leaning her back against the headboard. She wiped off the tears from his face with her bare fingers, "oh, come-on Young-soo stop crying now." He laid his head on her laps. She wanted to push his head from her laps but she let him rest because she doesn’t want to be so mean towards a sick person. She creased his smooth silky hair gently, "now close your eyes, and sleep without any unnecessary thoughts."
