Eternal life

Chapter 26

Kyong Seon woke up, as the sky begun to become bright with the dawning sun. She didn't know what to feel. At first she thought, that her friend will be streaked with her behaviour. She won't tell anything to her poor father, not now. He would bedamn her and kick her out of their house. Let's not think about that in this moment. Beside feeling guilty, that she sneaked out, she didn't feel bad. She was on cloud nine. Her love interest was into her. She felt so light and happy, so her heart raced all the time. All the scenes for last night echoed in her mind, making her blush. He was so gentle and careful with her. There was nothing to regret.

She finally decided to turn around to face him. Ji Woon was looking at her, propping himself on his forearms. 'Have you slept well?' He asked, touching her cheek.

She couldn't look him in the eye, so she hid her face in her palms. 'Yeah...'

'I've got something for you. I forgot to give it yesterday.' He reached out for something. Kyong Seon was tracking his hands. 'Look.' He showed her the pin. It was gold, with some gems on it. Definitely expensive and not suiting her.

'It's beautiful.' She just kept looking at it. Ji Woon reached his hands to her head, to put it in her hair, but she brushed it off. 'It's not for me.'

'My dear, of course it's for you. I especially picked it for you.' He put it in her hair.

'But it looks like it's not cheap...'

'The lady of the house is kind. She gave it to me. Don't worry.' He wanted to assure her, so lowered his head and pecked her on her lips, cheeks and forehead. 'It suits you the best.'

She smiled and started to touch the accessory in her hair. 'Thank you.' She said shyly.

'You deserve the best.' He looked around. 'It's dawning. I really don't want to break our sweet moment here, but I think we should get ready to go.' He caressed her head in apologetic manner, showing sadness on his face.

Kyong Seon nodded. She might even be back before his father wakes up, so she would avoid answering uncomfortable questions. 'I dried our clothes beside the fire.' He stood up to take them off the rocks and branches. They were earlier covered with Ji Woon's overcoat. It turned out that he already put some of his clothes on, so she couldn't see his marvellous body anymore. She, on the other hand had only skirt on herself. She covered her chest tightly.

'Can you, umm, look away for a second?' She asked him blushing.

'But I've already seen some of it...' He smirked and immediately scolded himself, that he shouldn't behave as he usually do. 'You're beautiful, but your wish is my command.' He wandered off to the rock, from which he jumped off yesterday.

He didn't sleep well, because he was not used to sleeping with someone. In the household he had his own corner, highlighting his weird status, neither of nobility nor servant. Good thing he caught some rest earlier, before her arrival. Now he just wanted to get back home to talk with his friend. He had to create the opportunity to push her into Woong Tae embrace.

Ji Woon looked around, as he felt hands on his waist. Kyong Seon got brave and decided to hug him. He was fighting with himself to push her back, but hold off of doing that. He bit his cheeks and turned around, so the girl had to loosen her grip. Instead, the young man put his arms on her shoulder and brought her into tight embrace. She was already fully clothed, the hair, earlier messy, were again put in a nice braid. The hair slide was sparkling.

'Ah, it so sad to part...' He sighed, not changing his expression, since she couldn't see it. 'But don't worry, we'll meet again. Maybe tonight?'

She picked her head up. 'I'm not sure, if I'll be in ability to sneak out again... I don't want to tempt fate...' She was sad.
