After Dark (Prompts)

One Night - 24

Im Soo-ah and Hyun Jin-heon did not rush home to his parents place after their enjoyable afternoon, deciding to have dinner with just the two of them. Jin-heon requested that the staff prepare a table at his restaurant and ordered their dinner in advance. In truth, they did not mind waiting because the couple relished being together, talking and just staring at each other to share a secret smile.

Like they preferred, their seats were pushed close together so she could lean her chin into his arm or shoulder if she wanted, and they didn't need to raise their voices when they talked.

"This is really nice," Im Soo-ah said. 

"The ambiance or the food?" Jin-heon asked, while he poured her a glass of wine. He was driving for them so he didn't touch a single drop of alcohol.

"Those are good," she said. "But I like the company the most."

Jin-heon blushed. 

"I like you a lot, Hyun Jin-heon," Soo-ah told him. 

"Good... because I like you a lot, too," Jin-heon replied. Dipping his head, he met her lips in a gentle kiss which she somehow felt in her entire being. 

"I don't know how you do that," she whispered.

"Do what?"

"Give me a kiss that takes my breath away," she said. "It was the same thing in Paris. Oh, can we go there for our honeymoon?"

Jin-heon agreed, "Of course." He, however, needed to clarify, "Are we getting married soon?"

Soo-ah frowned. "Do you want to wait longer?"

"No," he said, smiling. "I just didn't want you to feel like I was rushing you, especially since my mother has been pushing us toward that."

"I don't mind at all," Soo-ah assured. "What I wonder is why her son has not done anything about it."

"Well, Ji-Sung is married," Jin-heon teased, earning him a swat from her. "The younger son... well, I heard he's lazy."

"He's very handsome," Soo-ah said.

"He does nothing but hang around Ji-ho's school and pick him up," Jin-heon said.

"I've always been interested in the work of a chauffeur," she teased, making him laugh at the memory of the first time they reconnected. 

"I'm not sure he's good in bed," Jin-heon whispered.

"He's amazing. Such a talented tongue," she told him, making him laugh again.

"That's it then. He's a keeper."

Soo-ah smiled. "He is."

It was quite late when they made it back, and as the lights automatically flooded the home when they walked in, they were welcomed by the stern faces of their mothers.

Kim Yun-hui, with arms crossed, spoke first. "Soo-ah, where have you been?"

Im Soo-ah held onto Jin-heon's hand. "We went out after his check up."

Bang Eun-Jin clucked her tongue. "Your clearance should not have taken this long! Jin-heon, where did you and Soo-ah go?"

Jin-heon replied calmly, "We had a date." Then, clutching Soo-ah's hand, he added, "Eomeoni, please drop this act. You're making Soo-ah worry!"

Kim Yun-hui inched closer to Bang Eun-Jin, "I told you your son would see through it!"

Bang Eun-Jin stared at them sideways and then... laughed! Hugging Jin-heon, she apologised, "Sorry. I couldn't help it. My dreams have led to me to dream of Hollywood."
