Their expensive date~ Part 3

After the revelation, their night continued with dinner and drinks.Both of them seems at ease after all the talking. They laughed at each other jokes and started to feel comfortable with each other. In the midst of their conversation, Hyun joong excuse himself to go to the public toilet not far from the tent.

“ Don’t be long okay! The last time you said you need to go to the toilet..I felt as if you had run away and never came back!” recalled Hwang Bo.

“No..I won’t do that..I promised!..Just wait ok!” assured Hyun Joong with a smile.

20 minutes later....

“ Sorry for taking so long...I had a stomach ache!” said Hyun Joong hoping that Hwang Bo was not mad at him.

“ That’s okay...I’m used to it now!” answered Hwang Bo

“Used to what?” asked Hyun joong curiously.

“ Well..I’m used to waiting! Especially for you!” said Hwang Bo implying that she knows him well enough not to doubt him.

Hyun Joong gave a meaningful smile after hearing that.

Outside the tent

The two of them thanked both the tent owners and made their way out from the tent and continued their conversation as they made their way to the car.

“Are you sure the ajumma n ajussi won’t say anything about us tonight?” asked Hwang Bo. She was worried if their date that night will become the front page news tomorrow. She’s worried about Hyun Joong’s image with his fans.

“I’m positive!They won’t say a word...they can’t...coz I know their nephew...if anything happens...I’m sure to let their nephew have a piece of my mind!” answered Hyun Joong.

“Huh??? What do you mean by that? Who’s their nephew anyway?” asked Hwang Bo further.She was curious and worried at the same time.

“Well...U know him too...technically!” smiled Hyun Joong

“Who?” asked Hwang Bo.

“My friend Inyoung! The one you talked to on the phone before our fake farewell..remember?” explained Hyun Joong

“Owhh...that friend!...” gigled Hwang Bo

Hyun Joong smiled when she heard Hwang Bo’s cute gigles.

“For an important night like tonight...of course I have to be extra careful and when I asked Inyoung about renting a tent..he recommended his aunt and uncle..so it was perfect! Besides..like I said earlier..they play a hard bargain! It was really expensive!” explained Hyun Joong

“Chincharo!!! Hahahaha....” Hwang Bo couldn’t keep her laughter any longer and let out a loud laugh while covering her mouth and holding her stomach. She was always amuse by Hyun joong’s unique way of thinking.

“ Anyway thank you for the treat! I will never forget this night..”said Hwang Bo

“ Come on...are you already tired from just a couple glass of soju?” asked Hyun joong
“Why do you say that?” asked Hwang Bo

“Well...it’s just that you sound like you want to call it a night? Do you?” asked Hyun Joong

“ Well I thought...since it’s already late...u would want to call it a night coz u might be busy tomorrow...”explained Hwang Bo

“ Nope not yet...there’s one more thing!” said Hyun Joong and grabbed Hwang Bo’s wrist and made their way to a nearby lake.

“Huh?” said confused Hwang Bo.

Hyun Joong lead the way while holding Hwang Bo’s wrist. Hwang Bo followed him with full of anticipation. They sure have not done this kind of thing for a long time. But the reality of being with him that night was already a dream come true. But she decided to act cool and play along to see what’s going to happen next.

They walked along a pathway that leads to a garden at the nearby lake...as they approach the garden...Hwang Bo could see dims of lights from a far. The lights seems to grow brighter as they came nearer towards the edge of the lake.

Hyun Joong stopped and turned around. As he faced Hwang Bo....he smiled and said...

“This is it! The highlight!...” said Hyun Joong with full of excitement.

“Now...please go to that tree and see what’s waiting for you there.” while pointing at a tree which was wrapped in bulbs of lights.

“Wow..Is it christmas already?” said Hwang bo whose face suddenly lit up upon seeing the tree.

“ Well...u can say it something like that!” answered Hyun Joong

“ Okay!” said Hwang Bo as she approached the tree taking slow steps...full of anticipation.

As she got closer to the tree..she could see a box placed under the tree. The box was like the size of a shoe box but was wrapped neatly with a white ribbon. Since the the light from the tree lit up the area around it..she could see the box was green in colour. She picked up the box and shaked it to try and figure out the content. As she was doing it..Hyun Joong approached her..

“ What are you trying to do? Just open it! “ stressed Hyun Joong

“ Just like that? What...no more songs? No more sincere events? “ said Hwang Bo jokingly who remembered the last time Hyun Joong did something like this was during her birthday in front of all the WGM staff.

“ Well..putting up the lights and timer just now has taken a lot of my energy. I think I’ll sing to you next time ok...” answered Hyun Joong.

“ Owhh...that’s why you took soo long just now!’ said Hwang Bo who finally able to figure out where Hyun Joong actually went for 20 minutes.

She was smiling ear to ear realising that Hyun Joong took so much effort to give her the present.

“ What could this be?” said Hwang Bo

“ Come on... just opened it!” urged Hyun Joong

“ Arasso” said Hwang Bo

As she slowly opened the box...she was suprised to see it was full of folded turtles.

“Hahahaha” she laughed so hard upon seeing the turtles.

“What’s this?” she asked

“Don’t you remember?” said Hyun Joong

“Remember what?” asked Hwang Bo

“Wah...you are surely getting old! It has only been over a year..” said Hyun Joong jokingly.

Hwang Bo hit him again at his elbow like she always does whenever Hyun joong make jokes like that.

“ Remember when I gave the crane for your birthday last year. It was a total of 1000 cranes. That means I’ll be good to you for 1000 days...and I do think I have done that in my own way...and even if there are still a lot of days to go...I just thought that I would give you 100 folded turtles now...and show you that, I’ll continue to be good to you even after the 1000 days are up. Because of my busy schedule..I’ll give you the other 900 later....” explained Hyun Joong.

“ Ermm...Hyun Joong ah...I don’t know what to say” said Hwang Bo in a crack voice and suddenly with tears in her eyes.She was touched by his sincerity and effort that night.

“ Thank you very much!” said Hwang Bo

“ You’re welcome!” smiled Hyun Joong

“ I’ll make you happy from now on...for real...no cameras...no staff and crew to follow us!...just you and me!” said Hyun Joong convincingly.

At that moment..both of them were in their own happy world. Even though Hwang Bo never expected it...She was really thankful that Hyun Joong finally confess his true feelings. She felt as if a burden has been lift up from her shoulder.

Technically she had not given him an answer since she was still scared of the consequences but nevertheless in her heart...she’s the happiest woman in the world.
