[Exopink : Kyungjoo] A bumpy ride

Secret

It was Saturday, and two weeks past their marriage, kyungsoo was busy with office and was late literally everyday. Namjoo slowly got a habit of this and learnt new ways to keep her busy. She was accustomed to him but was still uneasy and jumpy whenever they touched. The reason was not only the unfamiliarity with men but also her past. She didn't open up as somewhere she was scared to get scarred in her life. Her reasoning was justified as her own blood relations never cared for her.

Kyungsoo thankfully took a leave from office and decided to meet his parents with namjoo as they kept pestering him to meet them. Her mother in law welcomed her by taking her in her arms. Namjoo was never used to this love and care so whenever she met them it was overwhelming. His family was an example of an ideal family she always had in mind but her life was so negative that she always fears if happiness is possible in her life.

Her father in law greeted her dearly.

"Son, let's sit. We were waiting for you" he gestured. The family took a seat and the tea was served.

Sowon hugged namjoo and whispered in her ear "Is bro not taking care of you?" she asked.

She glanced at him sadly as he is always busy with his work that she hardly sees him. Even if he is busy he still cares about her, calls her during breaks. She was thankful for that "He is" she answered smiling. Kyungsoo was curious what they were discussing so secretly.

"Bro, i am disappointed" sowon revealed and his parents supported her words. He was puzzled "What monkey?" he asked irritatedly. "This is what i am talking about" she complained. "Are you even thinking about my sis in law? You didn't marry her to be busy in office" she purred. He was pissed off "Sowon, just shut...." He was interrupted "Kyungsoo" his mother stopped their bickering. "She isn't wrong son" his father supported.

Sighing "Dad, what are you talking about? She is well aware what my position is in the company and how busy i will be" he reasoned glancing at namjoo "I know i am probably not doing much justice as a husband but my hands are tied. There is a huge responsibility on me regarding our company" he expressed his views.

"Mom, dad....i am fine really. Please don't blame kyungsoo-ssi" she pleaded softly. His family supported her feeling sad. "Come on, you are making me a bad guy" he argued with his family.

Taking an envelope his father handed it to kyungsoo "Here is the solution" he coolly said. Suspiciously, he opened the envelope only to find honeymoon tickets.

"Honeymoon?" his jaw dropped. A smile appeared as he gazed at namjoo intently. Hearing that, her face tightened. Honeymoon? I don't think i can handle this. I need time. She was troubled and kyungsoo was fast to observe her expression.

He wished they went but after perceiving her intentions no way he was forcing this trip on her. "Dad, i apologize but i don't think i can take another break. There is a lot of work to do. Upon that i just took up a new project and schedule is too hectic" he made an excuse. He would manage if she agreed but he did not wish to see that expression on her face ever. She felt relieved on hearing that also thankful for his help.

His family was unhappy, later agreed with his decision. "Fine, but atleast attend the family gathering next week, our relatives want to meet namjoo" her mother caressed her hair. "Oh no, not that please" he whined but shut his mouth when got scolded by his parents. Namjoo giggled watching him pouting. Observing that, he winked at her and she was surprised. Sowon elbowed her watching them and she instantly covered her cheeks feeling ashamed. Why is he doing that suddenly? That too, in front of his family.

Devilishly, sowon hugged namjoo eyeing kyungsoo. She even kissed her cheek just to tease him and then wiggled her eyebrows at him. He clenched his jaw and glared at her. "Lollipop, let's go" he grabbed her hand and dragged her away. Sowon chuckled at his actions "My poor bro you are suffering so much" she giggled at his jealousy.
