Chapter 13: The Beginning

I smiled, "Hey, I was happy when you asked for my help. I have the money. Don't worry. There's no need to think about it."

After I said my words, he immediately hugged me, then he spoke with more sincere joy and warmth in his words, "Chunghee, thank you ... thank you ... I'm so happy that you are always there for me. Thank you."

After his words, he suddenly pressed my body under his, gazing at my face with affection in his eyes for a long time, caressing it gently. Then, there was a soft smile on his face as if he had just seen the most beautiful scenery in this world. After that, on the sofa, he kissed me passionately while he took off his clothes, and touched me as his sole owner.

"I'm grateful to have you ..." he whispered in my ear. His softly whisper ran through my body, entered my head, and made me feel as if I was flying in the pleasure of our intimacy.

We had adult activity tonight as a substitute for our sadness in previous days. Even though he was so harsh in this way, his touches still drove me crazy, until satisfaction hit rock bottom like fireworks in our head that made us smile.

Until the night came, I felt that happiness was entirely only for the two of us after the prolonged sadness. Apart from the fact that his smile had returned, he also ventured to ask for my help. That was the best thing of this relationship, being open and sharing, not just for sex.

...

The following week, I just came home from work. I grabbed the newspaper I bought on my way home and started searching for job openings, but still with the same results.

I let out a languid sigh, leaning back wearily on the seat. There was no acceptable job for him. There was only an Agency, and I wasn't sure if he wanted to submit his cover letter like when I offered him to send a letter to an agency a few days ago.

In my agitation, with a "ting" sound, a text message arrived on my cell phone. I immediately read the message and the words in it immediately made me jolt.

For the next week, the place where I lived would be due, while I had set aside some of my money for Donghwa to use it.

However, in this situation, I was trying to stay calm and found a way out. I still had a week left to find additional work, it would help to supplement my remaining money.

Having made this decision, I was about to rest after taking a bath. But before lying down, my cell phone rang and I immediately picked it up.

"Chunghee!"

I was just about to ask "what's happening?", But he spoke first. Hearing his voice, there would be good news to be conveyed by him.

"Chunghee, do you remember the GIM (Glory In-Media) Agency in Daejeon? What you offered me ...."

Hearing him so excited with his words, I smiled, "I offered it for you. How did I forget?"

"Yes, you know, I was accepted into the company and next week I can start working!"

With great pleasure, I congratulated him. It almost made me cry as I hadn't heard the fulfilment from him in a while.

About five days ago, I forced him to register in that Agency. Initially, he refused because the Agency needed people who were experts in advertising, and he wasn't in that field. But, unexpectedly, he finally sent a cover letter to the company and was accepted.

However, apart from this pleasure, there was something that bothered me. Daejeon was a faraway place. It would keep us separated by a distance, and I wasn't quite ready for that.

"Chunghee, thank you."

I smiled. As a lover, encouraging his partner to never give up was a must. Life is hard and requires hard work. At least, that's what someone precious to me taught me in her lifetime.

Paused for a moment, he asked, "Chunghee, you don't want to work in Daejeon too?"

I grinned, and said softly, "I'll be fine here."

I had never thought of that, never even thought of leaving Seoul. This city was where I was born and I quite felt at home working in this city.

"Well, I don't want to force you. I promise. I'll visit you often ...." with a pause, he continued, "Then, take a rest now, okay? I love you ..."

"Okay, I love you, too."

With feelings of sadness and joy, I tried to close my eyes to go through tough things tomorrow.

In the end, the test for testing our feelings was about to begin. I prepared for the big things which await in the future, and I hoped God would still sympathize the love story of two sinners like us.

The following days, I worked hard with the two jobs I had and didn't tell Donghwa about this matter at all.

It also slapped me a little. I easily interpreted relationships as things to share feelings. And with what I felt, now I knew why he was so reluctant to share problems with me where he wanted to keep the feelings of someone he loved.

For several years, we struggled so hard to get through these hardships, fell down and then got up to face various problems, and finally, we managed to enjoy the sweet results of a struggle.

After two years, since Donghwa was accepted at the GIM Agency, he was finally appointed as president after hard work and difficult struggles. Meanwhile, I transferred to the large Kim family-owned company in Seoul, TU (Technology Unity) Company which produced many famous brands, and became a staff member in the design department.

Our busyness kept us apart from each other, so we decided to buy an apartment in Seoul and lived together to maintain our relationship.

Donghwa was busy with his new position, but that didn't stop him from coming to visit me every day, and a few days if he had a busy schedule.

However, it wasn't a problem. As long as we kept giving the news, it had suppressed our desire to see each other.
