Blurred Lines

The next morning, Mrs. Park wakes her daughter up for a surprise.

"Sooyoung – ah, wake up it's almost lunch time." Mrs. Park removes the blanket covering her, exposing a little bit of the girl's stomach. "Sungjae and his parents are here."

Sooyoung's eyes open fast. "What?!" she sits up, her hair a tangle of mess behind her.

"We have to talk about something. Let's go." Mrs. Park pulls her daughter out of bed.

"Wait! Let me fix myself first please." Sooyoung stops her mother.

"Alright. Come down as soon as you're done." Mrs. Park then leaves the room.

Sooyoung looks at herself in the mirror and grabs a brush to untangle her hair. She brushes her tooth then puts on foundation, a little bit blush on her cheeks and some tint to put some color on her lips. When she finally is satisfied on her appearance, she goes to the living room, secretly thanking that she's wearing her cutest pajamas.

While waiting for Sooyoung to come down, Sungjae hopes to see Sooyoung's bare face but when he sees her, he realizes that he will have to wait for that opportunity another time.

"Why do you wear make – up right after waking up?" Sungjae whispers to her. Sooyoung doesn't answer and elbows him. "You still have something on your eyes."

"What?" Sooyoung quickly wipes the side of her eyes and when she finds out that there's nothing, she hits Sungjae on his arm. "You prankster."

Mr. Yook then clears his throat. "Okay, so tomorrow will be wedding day." Sooyoung and Sungjae blushes on cue. "Let me discuss your honeymoon vacation. Of course, we know that you're still too young but I guess Sooyoung is right. We have to do this kind of thing right."

"However, you two are still training right?" the two nods at Mrs. Park. "Your Auntie Youngeun told me that you will be able to finish your training by the end of the first term. So we think that after that you can have your honeymoon vacation. Does that sound good? "

"Are you saying you're allowing us to go on a trip with just the two of us?" Sungjae gulps nervously.

"Charlie will be with you but since he will be staying into another room, it's basically a yes." Mrs. Yook nods. "You're married after all. It'll be fine. We trust you guys."

The couple nods at their parents, glancing at each other. Well, at least they have a few months to prepare themselves for the trip.

"Oh, by the way, we already picked your wedding rings. Do you want to have a look at it?" Mrs. Park asks, looking so excited.

Sooyoung's eyes gape at the sight of two simple looking rings with stones at the center. "Mom, this... They're so beautiful."

Mr. Yook pats his son's shoulder. "I think you girls did an amazing job in picking these." He looks at Sungjae. "Now, son, I want you to realize how big your role is gonna be in Sooyoung's life. Take care of her well. Protect her always. Be faithful and honest no matter what."

"I will Dad. Don't worry, I won't let you down." Sungjae then unconsciously reaches for Sooyoung's hand.

The girl looks at the small connection and feels her heart thrum in her ears. Mrs. Yook and Mrs. Park look at their children's joined hands. Things might go better than they expect. Sungjae's family bids farewell after awhile.

"I'll see you tomorrow then, classmate." Sungjae waves in a friendly way. This will be the last day that they would be just friends. Starting tomorrow, they would be everything to each other.
