Me and my Husband's Storage

85. Our Story in the Past

Jihyuk took Celine away. Before leaving, the two stopped by the supermarket to buy beer and snacks. Celine had no idea where Jihyuk was taking her. Until they arrived at a house.

Jihyuk's car stopped in the courtyard of a house. Jihyuk takes Celine down from the car and into the house.

Celine felt doubtful, anxious and anxious. He doesn't know whose house it is. He also did not know clearly the purpose of Jihyuk taking him to the house. All he knew was that the house looked simple, but elegant. Like the figure of Jihyuk.

Jihyuk opened the door of the house, "Come in. ", said Jihyuk.

Celine followed Jihyuk inside the house. Just stepping foot inside the house, Celine saw the floor of the house covered in roses.

"Oh, what is this? you're sprinkling flowers?" ask Celine.

Jihyuk did not answer. He continued to step in until the middle of the house. Celine also saw something similar, in the middle room also scattered rose petals. Jihyuk then, kneeled one foot before Celine. He took something out from behind his coat pocket. It is nothing but a box with a ring.

Celine's confused. He did not understand everything that happened, why suddenly Jihyuk knelt down and took out a ring. Celine's mind wasn't far off thinking.

"You, what are you doing? ask Celine.

"This might seem strange to you. Because suddenly I did this. I'm proposing to you right now, Celine. Be wife. Be the mistress of this house" Jihyuk said.

"What?" surprised Celine. "This ... Why are you suddenly like this?" celine muttered.

"Because, if I delay in revealing it, I don't necessarily get another chance. Someone I met said, if I shouldn't waste my time and have to express my true feelings. I know, you must be surprised, too. We've only known for a few months, but I've been this brave. It's okay, if you want to refuse and still want to know more. But, please don't put distance with me." Jihyuk. He doubted whether his decision to propose to Celine was right or not.

Celine silently thought, as if she was petting something. Celine hesitated, but she also did not deny the feeling that began to grow in her heart for Jihyuk.

Celine lowered her head to help Jihyuk stand up, "Stand up first," Celine said.

Jihyuk stood up and the two faced each other. Celine looked at JIhyuk as well as Jihyuk. Despite the hesitation, Celine finally spoke and revealed the truth. If she is afraid to start another marriage. Her first marriage was destroyed. Unexpectedly, Jihyuk also responded to something similar. He was also someone who failed to build a relationship and claimed, if previously he was a bad husband. They also shared stories.

"Jihyuk, I don't want to accept your proposal. But, before that. Can I say something? Honestly, I've been married before. And my married life doesn't make me happy. I'm not going to indulge the disgrace of my previous marriage, this is just information for a little you know. Ok." Celine started to open her voice and tell stories.

"I understand. Its okay. Didn't I say that if I didn't want you to cry just because of the past? if you get hurt, then you don't have to tell me. I don't want to scratch old wounds that even the marks have not disappeared" Jihyuk said firmly.

Celine smiled, "Thank you, you've been worrying about my feelings. I'm doing fine. Really, I'm fine." replied Celine. He pulled Jihyuk's hand to sit on the sofa, "You remember, when you asked him something in the hospital?" celine asked, who sat down followed Jihyuk.

"Yes, of course. About you talking to the two nurses, right." replied Jihyuk.

"Yes, that one. That question. I'll answer now." Celine replied. He looked at Jihyuk, "What you think about that moment is true. I'm telling my story. Tell me about my life, what I feel. So, my marriage didn't happen on the basis that we liked each other, dear even loved each other. But, solely for business purposes. Luckily my ex-husband and Mom are good people. He also supported me, helping me to move here. Hahhhh .. as you heard. I had an ex-husband who loved another woman, and brought that woman to live with us at that time. If you ask me, am I not hurt or hurt? I would lie if I answered no. Although I didn't love him, but I cried and was upset when the man was with his mistress. When the woman was angry and they had a fight, the man must have vented everything on me. All I thought about at that time was one. I'll hang on and close my eyes to everything, as long as I can get out of the house and I have a position." Celine looked down, she wiped her tears that were beginning to fall.

"Sorry interjected. If I could know. What is the reason you want to leave the house? there must be something that makes you uncomfortable, right." Jihyuk asked out of curiosity.

"Because I can't stand the pressure that my stepmother and stepbrother put on me anymore. I don't know why, my stepmom never liked me once. Everything I do, in his eyes, is wrong, even if it's true. If Papa gets angry and scolds Mama. Then Mama would turn around scolding me, spying on me too. If it's good, he'll just grumble and tear down my room. If the crazy thing comes back, he'll slap me, pull my hair and bang my head against a closet or a wall." Celine told me about her family situation

"You're being treated like that, and you're just being quiet?" jihyuk said annoyedly.

Jihyuk wiped away Celine's tears, "You are a great woman, Celine. I'm proud of you" Jihyuk said.

"What about you? there's nothing you want to tell me?" ask Celine.

"You wanna hear?" ask Jihyuk.

"Yes, of course. A great man like you can't possibly not have a story, right." said Celine.

"Story, yeah. I don't know, it's a sweet or tragic story. Obviously, just like you. I was actually hesitant to get married again. I'm afraid you're gonna go disappear like that." Jihyuk started telling stories.

"There's no reason I left. As long as you don't upset me or get angry." said Celine, responding to Jihyuk's story.

"I was married too. My late wife, she's the woman my parents betrothed to. At that moment I thought, my choice of Papa and Mama was the best. As the eldest child who will become the heir of the family, I am obliged to follow what my Papa and Mama want. Including the marriage. I took it for granted without rejection. When he met, he made a good impression. A week before the wedding. She expressed her feelings, she said liking me maybe more, she started loving me. He asked me, do I love him? I answered honestly, if I didn't love her. However, I'm interested. Because he's a nice and friendly man. In short we got married and lived a life like a couple in general. I gave her what she wanted. What he wants me to all obey. I want to be a good and perfect husband in her eyes. I thought, What am I doing right? I did spoil him so much." Jihyuk stared far ahead, glaring at the times in his story.

"Did you finally love her? you're in love with her?" celine asked inquisitively.

Jihyuk shook his head, "No. I never loved her. Even though I've been married for a year, I don't know why I can't love her. Until one day, I understood the reason. The reason my heart refuses to accept it. He whom I gave everything and tried to make happy, gave me a long and deep wound. The night of my birthday, I found him in my friend's room. Him and my friends, they ... " Jihyuk paused his story.

"Don't continue," whispered Celine hugging Jihyuk. "I know how you feel. Aren't we in the same position? sick and angry because couples who can not be faithful keep the wedding promise." continued Celine.

"I'm very disappointed. And I'm really mad. I left and didn't come home for a few days. When I got home, I was surprised again. That night, we spoke again. We argued. I also subconsciously exposed everything I thought. Disappointment. And I made an unexpected decision. I asked her for a divorce. When I left her in the room, she called me. He apologized and admitted his mistake. That explanation makes me even more hurt. And something surprising happened. He who was already on the balcony, jumped straight away. He ended his life because of guilt. Before he jumped, he said something. He doesn't want a divorce. Rather than getting divorced and living alone, she would rather end it all. I even dreamed of that terrible event. When I was looking after you in the hospital, that's when the nightmare happened. It's not because I decided to divorce. But, because I can't prevent him from acting stupid." Thus, Jihyuk told Celine the story of his past.

Celine cupped Jihyuk in the face with her two hands, "You are also a great man, Jihyuk. Don't blame yourself anymore, ok." said Celine excitedly.

Jihyuk also cupped Celine's face, "You're this. You're the one who cries until your nose is red, it can still give me spirit. I'm doing fine. Thank you for comforting me." Jihyuk replied.

Celine approached, she kissed Jihyuk's soft lips at a glance. Celine smiled beautifully.

"What's a gift?" ask Jihyuk.

Celine shook her head, "No, that's the answer. You asked me to be your wife, right? Then I will do the same. Even though I don't have a ring for you. But, do you want to be someone who wants to be my protector until the end of my life? Someone who is always there in every way I like my grief. Someone who will listen to my complaints." Celine stared fixedly at Jihyuk.

"Of course you want. That's what I want, too. I am willing, even if I have to risk everything for you. I will and I will try to do the best I can." Jihyuk replied.

Jihyuk reached out, and was greeted by Celine. Jihyuk also put the ring he gave as a proposal gift to the ring finger of Celine's right hand. He also kissed Celine's back.

Celine smiled, so did Jihyuk. Jihyuk's face slowly approached Celine. The lips of the two stick together. Jihyuk and Celine kissing each other. Soon the kiss came off. Jihyuk then kissed Celine on the forehead.

The kiss moved, Jihyuk kissed both of Celine's eyelids, Celine's nose, Celine's chin

and last kissed Celine's lips again and again.
