Just when she was about to take off the gold hoops earrings she was trying on Do Yun suddenly appeared behind her bringing the blue striped skirt set with him, "Keep this on you."
"Oh....." Amor got startled to hear his voice that she immediately turned around not knowing that he was just right behind her thus she lost her balance but Do Yun was able to catch her in his arms in time and now they are just 3 inches away facing each other she could even hear his breathing. Looking into his eyes she can see herself as if she is looking at a mirror, she wanted to move away from his grip but she's too breathless to even lift her finger.
"Amor.....," Do Yun knows he needs to let go of Amor but he can't explain why he wants to keep her in his arms a little longer. Looking into her eyes he can see himself staring back at him and wanting to look at himself closely he moved his head an inch closer to hers and the warmth of her breath melted his ice-cold heart it broke into sweats on his forehead. His heart is beating faster than his breathing it clouded his logic and found himself no longer looking into her eyes but staring at her collar bone instead that he gently touched it, "Something's missing."
"Uhm..... Mr. Kim," Amor looked away from his stare thus prompted Do Yun to let go of her and gave her the clothes he wants her to put on. Amor can't seem to figure out which image reflecting in the mirror she likes better; is it herself in the casual outfit Do Yun wants her to put on, is it how he looked at her earlier, or is it how she looked at him looking at her. Do Yun got up from where he was seated and stared at Amor's reflection in the mirror for a couple of minutes before heading to the checkout counter. Upon seeing Do Yun head out to the exit door, Amor tried to catch up but she is having difficulty with the shopping bags she is carrying, "So many shopping bags and I only have 2 hands, is he going to help me carry a few of these bags?" she asked herself.
"We'll bring the bags for you ma'am," the attendant told her.
"Ah..... I'll help bring a few of these bags then thank you."
Following Do Yun's lead they went inside a jewelry store, "Good evening sir, ma'am," greeted the attendants.
Amor was standing by the door when Do Yun gestured for her to come closer to the stall, "Oh..... yes Mr. Kim?"
Seeing that Amor's hands are full of shopping bags he asked her to turn around, "Turn around."
"Uhm..... okay Mr. Kim," the confused Amor followed his instruction.
Unexpectedly, Do Yun lifted her hair and place it on the left side of her shoulders. The feel of his fingertips gently brushing against her nape bring a lot of playfulness into her blank thoughts. But what caught her eye is the reflection of herself in the mirror and what Do Yun is about to put on her neck, a silver heart necklace. While it's no secret that jewelry is beautiful and easy to admire, the silver heart necklace he wore around her neck is more than just a spectacle for Amor. Do Yun lifted her hair and let it fall against her back again, "I knew something's missing, let's go."
As soon as they arrived in the parking lot, Jack can't seem to take his eyes off her; "Wow Amor you look like a supermodel," he teased her.
"Ah..... I guess the clothes are just too beautiful for me," she shyly smiled.
When they got home, Jack helped her out with the shopping bags and before Do Yun could get inside their unit Amor called him out "Oh..... Mr. Kim."
"Huh?"
"Uhm..... I just want to say thank you for adding clothes to my wardrobe. I'll do my best to take care of them."
"Are you thanking me only for the clothes?"
"Oh..... I..... I don't mean it that way, Mr. Kim. It's just that this is the first time someone gave me jewelry."
Do Yun let out a sigh, "It's just a silver necklace Amor," and he closed the door behind him.
While looking at the new clothes hanged on her cabinet Amor was playing with the heart-shaped pendant on the necklace that Do Yun gave her and she couldn't help but feel sentimental and gracious. Thinking of what she needs to accomplish tomorrow overwhelms her since she needs to go to the Admissions Office of the school she needs to enroll in for her Office Administration course. She will submit her documents so that they can screen them right away, if all goes well tomorrow then she will fill in the enrolment form and pay the enrolment fee so that she can submit the receipt to the company's accounting office. But before she can be officially enrolled she needs to take an assessment exam for the school's intervention purposes after which she can then choose what subjects to take being offered for the next school year. She will then have to print out the study load and submit it to the company's HR to make sure no conflict found in the schedule between her studies and her work since she's just a part-time student then secure her student's identification card. Thinking that she will now pursue her tertiary education brings a range of feelings- guilt in addition to the pride, guilt about having the opportunity to attend college while leaving her children behind.
Driiiiin. Driiiiin. Driiiiin.
Amor missed the sound of the old alarm clock even though it means she needs to be awake for 23 hours 6 days a week, she got ready a little early because she is excited to try her new set of clothes and chose the brown floral belted shirt dress tailored in florals that features flap pockets in the front and a buckled self-fabric belt paired with white kicks.
Standing outside unit 1203, she straightened her dress and lightly knocked on the door thrice then David opened the door.
"Good..... good morning Mr. and Mrs. Kim," Amor stuttered but Do Yun only gave her a glance and continued eating. She saw Mila sitting on the sofa thus she sat beside her.
After a while, Mila suddenly stood up but before Amor could give her greeting Ae Cha approached her. Wearing a black floral print cami slip dress, Amor can never equal her cuteness no matter what she wears. With Amor's head bowed down Ae Cha asked her a question, "How did Do Yun's galbitang taste?" But before Amor can give her answer Do Yun came out from their room and Ae Cha headed out to the door thus Mila hurriedly followed. Seeing how Do Yun looked at Ae Cha walking away she feels she is in the wrong place, "Is there something I should know or should I not know about it?" she thought. Looking at Do Yun wearing a bright navy chalk stripe limited edition suit Amor's morning could not be any better.
She never thought she would need some time alone with him.
