Chapter 20 - What Would I Do Without You?

Xie Eun walked back out with two steaming cups of noodles and a happy face.She decided to think of this trip as an adventure.Her university vacations were starting soon and she had planned to go on a small trip by herself.Unexpectedly, now that trip would be postponed so maybe this small trip back home could compensate for it. Outside, she looked around and unexpectedly, Yu Seok had also vanished along with their luggage.For a moment, she got worried wondering if she had entered some kind of horror movie where the main lead transmigrates into a parallel world..But before her imagination could take flight, the sound of a car's horn reached her.Squinting her eyes, she peeked inside the car and her jaw dropped comically.How did he get a car and so soon.

Rushing over to the car's driver side, Xie Eun leaned near the window and whisper shouted,"Yu Seok..it is not right to steal cars even if we are desperate.Stealing is stealing!Do you want to become a thief!".​​

You Seok:".." He was being accused of stealing his own car...Glaring at her, Yu Seok pointed a long finger towards a small poster on the side of convenience store.,"Rental Cars Available Here."

Reading the poster, Xie Eun smiled awkwardly before showering him with exaggerated praises,"Yu Seok is the best!What would I do without a friend like you?"

As I'd run ran around the car to the passenger side, Yu Seok leaned over and opened the car door as the girl seemed to have forgotten both her hands were busy...

Once seated, Yu Seok opened his fingers and counted off,"You would fall all over strangers, stub your toes, break your bones a hundred times a day, get lost in the boonies, .."

Before Yu Seok could continue, he noticed her scowling at him.Shrugging he explained,"You asked about what you would do without me."

Harrumphing, Xie Eun retorted,"And I would get to eat these noodles by myself!"

Pushing a hot cup into his hand, Xie Eun started to slurp her noodles throwing scathing glances at the man while she cursed him in her heart.She dare not do it loudly or with his personality, he would throw her out of the car like useless junk.

After finishing off the noodles, Yu Seok put the car in drive and started to drive towards the village.

As soon as the car had turned out of the parking lot, a young teenage boy rushed out and tore off the poster, patting his pocket.This was the easiest money he had earned!

Meanwhile, Xie Eun was oblivious to Yu Seok's schemes and was leaning over the seat towards the back, looking for her favorite bag of chips.

Yu Seok on the other hand could only repeatedly tell her to sit back and put on her seat belt but was ignored in favor of food..Finally, Yu Seok parked the car in the side of the road, pulled her back onto her seat forcefully and leanined over her to quickly fasten her seatbelt.

This put the two people in the car really close and Xie Eun could only stare into his dark eyes with a shocked expression.

Her only thought as she stared into his eyes was that they were really beautiful..and there were even few black specks in them....

As Xie Eun continued to stare, Yu Seok worried that she had recognized him and regretted his actions. To distract her, he looked back and brought the entire bag of the assorted chips to the front.Immediately focusing on the food, Xie Eun fished out her favorite one's from the bottom and started to munch on them happily.Finally seeing that the girl was settled, Yu Seoknstarted to drive again.

Seeing his focused on driving, Xie Eun was amused and silently brought a chip to his lips, offering it to him. Surprised at her gesture, Yu Seoknopened his mouth and ate the chips, his warm lips touching her fingertips slightly.

Xie Eun felt a small current pass through her fingers at this but dismissed it as friction and Yu Seok's hands tightened on the wheel.

Only after a while when Xie Eun had finished her chips and was licking the extra salt off her fingers that Yu Seok was unable to take it anymore and almost groaned out loud at the seductive image.He composed his thoughts before asking,"Are you going to tell me about your reasons for this sudden trip?Or am I going to only act as your chauffeur?"

"Uh huh!I actually don't know where to start but I could try...Fine.But you have to promise me not to be judgemental!And even if you feel Inam wrong then please keep your thoughts to yourself..

You Seok could not help but shake his head," Xie Eun the fact that you are asking to not point your mistake means that you already know your mistake but do not wish to accept it. It is of no concern to me,what you do..so go ahead and talk..

Pouting at being told that she was already in the wrong when he had not even heard her out made Xie Ein pause but then in reconsideration, Xie Ein nodded her head and began her story..

"I ..I am going to find my husband...."

Screeeech....the car came to a stop abruptly....
