Chapter 33: The Teasing

She wanted to say thanks to him for everything he did. He calmed her down and then she punched him so she also had to say sorry, again. He spent all his time with her, drove her around, even took her mother to the hospital. She definitely had to thank him for that. It was the days of sorrys and thank yous for Ashma. It was a day of contrast for her.

She met with her bully grandfather but bullied him instead. Her brother and sister were excited to meet her but she berated them. She got to meet her fairy godmother but her mother fell ill. She met with her new family but instead of being civil, she was rude to them. The whole day was filled with a lot of drama. She spent the whole day being angry, crying, apologising and then saying thank you.

Before she could go and talk to Yong-Sun, he said, "you all should rest, we all will leave."

"Yeah, it is getting late, we should leave," said Jong-Woo.

"Yongsuna! Eat something and then leave. Everyone else has eaten," said Eun-Kyung.

"No, gomo, uhmma must be waiting for me," replied Yong-Sun.

"Tell your mother I am angry at her. She didn't come to meet my child." Eun-Kyung went and side-hugged Ashma. Yong-Sun smiled at both of them.

"You know how she is, when work comes she gets too busy with her work, but she will definitely come tomorrow," explained Yong-Sun.

"Yeah, her work helps her to escape us old people all the time. She is the queen of a business empire" teased Eun-Kyung.

"Gomo!" exclaimed Yong-Sun.

Eun-Kyung signalled Yong-Sun for a hug but she still refused to let Ashma leave. Yong-Sun went ahead and side-hugged Eun-Kyung. While hugging, his hands touched Ashma's hands and again an electric current ran across their bodies. They both flinched and jerked away from Eun-Kyung's embrace.

"What?" she asked instantly.

"Nothing," they both replied, simultaneously.

"Ashu! Yongsuna! What?" commanded Eun-Kyung.

"Um… we just thought we were crushing you," said Ashma and stared at Yong-Sun.

He understood the signal and shouted, "Yeah, yeah, that, absolutely that."

"Shut up! My kids can never crush me," replied Eun-Kyung.

Baek-Hyeon stifled his laughter on the scene as he understood what happened. He got another chance to tease his Hyung. "Girls from our office are going to die when they get to know about Hyung's crush. Oh no! what will happen to Bang Young-Mi, she will burn the whole world. I am so happy, my Nuna and my Hyung. Should I become cupid for them? I have to talk to Bong-Cha," he thought.

"You guys keep figuring out what happened here, we will leave," laughed Jong-Woo.

"Ha-ha, so funny, keunahppa," said Yong-Sun, sarcastically.

"Okay, you guys go safely. We will see you tomorrow," said Eun-Kyung to the Man family. "Baekhyeona, Yongsuna, take the suitcases and put them in the guest room." They both ran and picked up the suitcases. They then ran upstairs to the guest room.

Looking at her suitcases she realised that what she did today was bad, she again apologised to Eun-Kyung, "I am sorry again, Mumma. I am sorry everyone." She held her ears to emphasise on her apology.

Eun-Kyung pinched her cheeks hard and said, "if you ever step a foot out of the house without asking me, I will pull your ears."

"Ah… ah… okay, okay."

Everyone smiled at the mother and the daughter. Bong-Cha was grinning like a Cheshire cat. The Man family bid their goodbyes and left first.

"You, go change your clothes and come to eat," ordered Eun-Kyung.

"Yes, ma'am," saluted Ashma.

Meanwhile, in the guest room, Baek-Hyeon was teasing Yong-Sun while grinning from his ear to ear.

"So what did you guys talk about when I left you alone in the hospital room? Did something happen?" Baek-Hyeon started the conversation.

"Nothing, what will happen?" he gulped. "We just talked about our life, how we know each other, what is our relationship and then talked about her life," replied Yong-Sun after composing himself.

"Really! Nothing else?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did you tell her about your crush?" asked Baek-Hyeon, excitedly.

"Shut up! I don't have a crush on her," replied Yong-Sun.

"Yeah, right."

"I just admire her skills, I just want to work with her."

"There are many designers in the world, equally famous," pointed out Baek-Hyeon.

"Who won the most awards past three years?" counterpointed Yong-Sun.

"True."

"And whose calendar is completely booked?"

"That is also true, but who makes your heart flutter when you see her? Whose hands you can let go?"

"Dongseng!" shouted Yong-Sun.

"I am not afraid of you," mocked Baek-Hyeon.

Yong-Sun twisted his tongue and placed it on his upper jaw and stared at Baek-Hyeon with a mild smile on his face.

"What are you thinking?" asked Baek-Hyeon, scared.

Before Baek-Hyeon could react, Yong-Sun put him in a headlock and asked, "you are not afraid of me?"

"Sorry, Hyung, sorry," cried Baek-Hyeon. After his apology, he released his grip.

Baek-Hyeon caressed his neck and again teased, "but you are going to dream about her tonight, aren't you?

Before Yong-Sun could again punish him, he ran away.

"You! Come here," commanded Yong-Sun and ran after him.

They ran downstairs, the moment they reached, Ashma was about to move upstairs so, Yong-Sun and Ashma came face to face.

"Yes, Ma'am," saluted Ashma and turned away from Eun-Kyung.

Ashma was about to go upstairs for a dress change when Yong-Sun suddenly appeared before her. They both stumbled but regained their balance immediately. Yong-Sun started to smile at her but immediately controlled his expression as he saw Baek-Hyeon. The result was a contorted face. Ashma looked at him as if he was a freak.

"What?" asked Ashma.

"Nothing, just lost my balance," said Yong-Sun. Beak-Hyeon sniggered. "I will leave too, gomo," announced Yong-Sun.

"Bye, sweet dreams, Hyung," teased Baek-Hyeon.

"I will deal with you tomorrow," scolded Yong-Sun. Baek-Hyeon laughed out loud.

Yong-Sun went out the door. Suddenly, Ashma said to Eun-Kyung, "just a minute, mumma. I will be back. I have to say thank you to Yong-Sun." Baek-Hyeon couldn't stop smiling. Bong-Cha looked at him and tried to understand what was happening in his brain. Baek-Hyeon was too busy staring at Ashma to realise that his other sister was looking at him like he was a moron.

"Okay, I will get your food heated up, Baekhyeona, you too come to eat," said Eun-Kyung. With her words, Baek-Hyeon controlled his face and stopped smiling like a fool.

"Yes, uhmma," said Baek-Hyeon with a serious face.

Ashma too exited the house and ran after Yong-Sun. He was about to open his car door when she called after him.

"Excuse me!" she shouted after him.

"What are you doing outside? It's cold," he started to remove his jacket to give it to her.

"No, please keep it on you. I will go inside in a moment. I just wanted to say thank you and sorry once again," said Ashma.

"Stop apologising, you have done enough," he said.

"No, what you did for me, how you took care of me, spent time with me, I have to thank you for that." She looked at his cheeks, it was less red now. She moved her hands to touch his cheeks absentmindedly. He flinched and immediately held her hands involuntarily and stopped it mid-way. "I am not going to hurt you. Do apply an ice pack, I am sorry for that."

Without releasing her hand, he said, "you asked me to forget about this."

"That I did. You can forget that I punched you, but I don't think you can forget the pain."

He pulled her closer and grabbed his waist. A loud gasp escaped from her mouth. "So I kissed you, then you punched me, and then that thing happened when you were about to fall. Being strangers, we have been quite intimate. Don't you think?"

"Uhhh…" she had no idea what to say, how to react.

He let her go and then said, "It's better if we become friends."

"No," blurted out Ashma.

Yong-Sun was shocked. "What? Why?"

She gave him a faint smile. "I will be gone in a few days. I don't want to establish a relationship when I have no intention of seeing them all the way through."

"Relationship?" inquired Yong-Sun.

"Friendship is also a relationship, for your kind information," replied Ashma.

"You are always this cold, this indifferent?"

"No, I am a very nice person. I think Korea made me like this," she replied seriously.

"You always have an answer for every question, don't you?" teased Yong-Sun.

"Absolutely."

"Well then, I don't accept your sorry or thank you till you accept my friendship and then work with me," said Yong-Sun.

"So, that your end goal, collaboration?" mocked Ashma.

"Think what you may, but for your kind information, I want your friendship first."

"Then I don't care, my job was to say sorry, say thank you. If you don't accept it, that's your choice," said Ashma with vanity.

"What?" exclaimed Yong-Sun.

"Good night, Yongsuna!" teased Ashma and turned away. She moved towards the door and went inside.

"Huh…" after hearing his name, he placed his hand on his heart and leaned on the car with his back. He felt like fainting after hearing his name from her mouth.. He exhaled and said, "I am in love with you."
