If We Got Married 48 It's A Long Story

Ha Eun got up from the sofa, opened the door to her office and told Woo Yeon, in a forceful tone "Get out!"

"Ha Eun…" Woo Yeon said, but she wouldn't listen.

"We were never in any kind of relations.h.i.+p" she told him, but Woo Yeon couldn't believe her words. He liked her for a long time, and he knew for a fact that she liked him back.

Woo Yeon scoffs, looking away then looking straight at Ha Eun "You actually expect me to believe that?" he asks her.

"You want to talk about the past? Fine let's talk!" Ha Eun said loudly "We never went out on a date, we never kissed and in all honesty, the only time a marriage was said out loud was when Mr. Oh and your father were talking about wanting to join their families together. Somehow that conversation hit the news, and everyone thought the marriage was between you and me, but we were never engaged."

"Ha Eun…"

"Don't" she said, raising her hand for him to stop talking "That's enough talking for today. Come back when you're ready to talk business"

Woo Yeon knew that it was impossible to talk with her when she was angry. She is a very stubborn person. He decided to go or today, but he wasn't going to let things end here. He wanted her to look at him with caring eyes once again. If he had to take Chang Wook out of the picture for her to see him again, then he would do everything in his power to break the two apart.

He left the office, and Ha Eun closed the door with a loud bang.

Once outside, Woo Yeon called his secretary "Get me all the information you can on Ha Eun's wedding day, as well as her husband. Something is off about their relations.h.i.+p"

Woo Yeon's secretary agreed. Once he hung up, he worried about his boss. He knew Woo Yeon liked Ha Eun very much but its been so many years since they last spoke. He was sure that Woo Yeon had moved on, but it appeared he was wrong.

To this day, he still didn't know what exactly happened between the two of them, it was a secret only the two of them carried.

….

When the day ended, Ha Eun decided to walk over to Chang Wook's department to pick him up and go home together. As she opened the door to her office she saw Chang Wook was about to knock on the door.

"What are you doing here?" Ha Eun asked him.

"I came to pick you up" he said, "Let's go home together" Ha Eun smiled at this. They were thinking the same thing. Chang Wook noticed her smile, he was glad that this small action of his made her happy.

In the car, the two of them were silent. It wasn't until Ha Eun noticed that they were taking longer to get home that she realized they weren't headed home in the first place.

"Where are we going?" Ha Eun asked the driver.

"I told him to take us somewhere" Chang Wook said. After a while the car stopped in a not so busy street. She looked at the people that were walking by. They all had swimsuits on. She looked at the buildings. All of them were either shops or restaurants.

"Thanks dude" Chang Wook told the driver as he patted him on the shoulder. He got out of the car and reached out his hand towards Ha Eun.

"Shall we, my lady?" he asked her. Ha Eun scoffed and nodded, taking his hand. Once outside, she could feel a cool breeze.

"Where are we?" she asked Chang Wook.

"The beach" he said. Ha Eun looked at him confused.

"Why?" she asked him. Chang Wook shrugged and took her around the shops. They had some street food and he bought her sandals from one of the tourist stores.

"You didn't have to buy me sandals" she told him. Chang Wook pointed at her feet.

"You've been walking in heels all day. Just wear them or I'll worry" he told her. Ha Eun looked down, a grin forming on her face. They sat down in one of the benches outside the store. Chang Wook took this opportunity to take her shoes off for her and place the sandals her bought her on her feet.

"All set, princess" he said as he looked up at Ha Eun's red face.

"P…princess? Are we reenacting Cinderella?" Ha Eun asked. Chang Wook chuckled. They continued walking along the street and he noticed something inside a store. He told Ha Eun to wait outside. When he came back out, he had fireworks with him and a bag of snacks.

The two headed down to the beach and Chang Wook placed the fireworks on the sand while Ha Eun started to eat the snacks.

He lit all of them and ran back to Ha Eun so they could enjoy the fireworks. Once he sat down next to her the fireworks went off. Although small, Ha Eun couldn't deny they weren't beautiful. She noticed how other people were on the beach and they set off their own fireworks and cheered.

"Wah…look at those" Chang Wook pointed at a group of people. Ha Eun smiled then stole a glance at Chang Wook. She wished she had his kind of optimism. Everything made him smile, while hardly anything made her smile. She always found a reason why not to…but once she actually spent time with him, she found it easier to smile.

Today was actually a bad day, yet just being with him made her happy.

"Oh…I forgot to give you something" Chang Wook turned to look at Ha Eun. She quickly looked away from him. He smiled because he had noticed long ago how she stared at him. She is not subtle at all.

"What did you get me?" she asked him, curious.

Suddenly he placed on Ha Eun's hand a plush hamster keychain "What's this?" she asked him.

"A hamster keychain" Chang Wook said, he had a smile on his face "When I saw it I thought you looked just like it"

Ha Eun got confused by this. Should she be angry that he called her a hamster? She looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed "Please explain" she said. He better give her an acceptable answer before she hits him.

"Well, hamsters are small, have puffy cheeks that make you want to squeeze and all in all, they are just adorable" Chang Wook smiled "Just like you" Ha Eun widened her eyes, then she quickly looked away from him.

"Thanks" she said. But she kept replaying the word he called her. Adorable. Adorable. Adorable. Adorable.

"Now, are you going to tell me what happened?" Chang Wook asked her. Ha Eun looked back at him. Did he want to know about what happened between her and Woo Yeon today? Is that why he asked her here? Because he knew it ended badly.

"Since the day we went to see your family and met…that guy…you haven't been the same. I wanted to know if you were ready to tell me what happened back then. Whenever 'then' was, I promise to listen to you"

Ha Eun looked at him, her eyes started to water. She looked back down "It's a long story"

"Then you better get started" Chang Wook said with a smile. Ha Eun looked at him and smiled back.

"Okay"
