Chapter 2: First Interaction“Miss Jang,” Hye Jin started.
“It’s Mrs Kim. She is married to me.” Junsu corrected his servant.
“Ma… married?!” Hye Jin could not help but be surprised at his sudden announcement. “She is married to you?!” Junsu’s cold stare made Hye Jin realize her mistake and quickly bowed.
“We got married yesterday.” Junsu did not like the idea of explaining his actions to a mere servant. “You better inform the rest about it too.”
“Yes…” Hye Jin bowed again and quickly scurried off, forgetting cleanly about Junsu asking her to find Ri In an evening gown.
“This girl.” Junsu shook his head. “I had enough of her. Acting like a mad women all the time.”
“Don’t say that of her!” something came over Ri In suddenly, causing her to say those words. She did not like Junsu’s attitude. He treats himself like, a king?!
Junsu simply rolled his eyes and walked over to Ri In. “You are my wife, remember that.” he leaned in close to her. It is the first time they were so close to each other. Ri In could feel her heart thumping as she stared into those mesmerizing eyes. She quickly broke the eye contact and shifted herself away from Junsu. “Come with me.” Junsu grabbed her hand and made his way up yet another flight of stairs.
Junsu threw open the door to a room. Ri In gasped as she entered the room after him. The room was filled with clothes and accessories, looking somewhat like a walk in closet, only much bigger. Junsu reached towards a rack and pulled out a dress. “This will do. Go change.” he pointed to a door at the corner of the room. Ri In turned the doorknob slowly and pushed. “What…” a magnificent looking changing room greeted her. “This is at least twice the size of my bedroom…”
“Just change quickly and come out. Don’t drool at your own house.”
“House? This isn’t just a house. This is a mansion! Sure wish it was mine though…” Ri In started to talk to herself.
“I gather you can change on your own? Or do you really need help with just changing?” Junsu had an amused look on his face. Ri In blushed and quickly locked the door behind her. There is much to know of this interesting guy. But one thing is for sure - she has gotten herself a wealthy husband.
Ri In looked at her image nervously in the mirror. Is this really me? No wonder they say clothes are a necessity that can make one look better. I look so different. So elegant to be exact. “This is Jang Ri In.” I smiled at my reflection. “Nice to meet you, Ri In!”
“What are you doing inside? Holding a fashion show? Get out of there once you’re done!” Junsu’s slightly high-pitched voice demanded.
“Okay, don’t rush. I’m coming out already!” Ri In unlocked the door and is surprised to see Junsu already changed. “When did you…”
“It doesn’t matter when I changed, just come over to put on your accessories.” Junsu pulled open a cabinet and revealed a dark velvet box. As he took out the box, Ri In captured a flash of sadness in his eyes. It lasted only for about a second, but Ri In was certain of what she saw. She has always been very sensitive after all. Junsu pressed lightly on the catch by the side and opened the box slowly. The glittering diamond that lay beneath the cover blinded Ri In temporarily. ‘A diamond! A real diamond! Glittering too!’ the flash of emotion she saw earlier was swiftly replaced by at the thought of being able to put on such an expensive item. ‘My goodness, a real diamond!’
“Turn around.” Junsu reached over and placed the necklace gently on Ri In, clasping it securely at the back. He then helped Ri In to put on the bracelet and pair of earrings that came as a set together with the necklace. “I like diamonds best.” he said suddenly. “They are really strong, just like love. The bond between two people who are in love holds them together strongly. However, the diamond also has its sharp edges. Edges which have the ability to cut and injure you. Diamonds are like love. You can’t stop yourself from loving, you can’t stop yourself from getting hurt also…”
“Junsu…” it was Ri In’s first time calling this guy, her husband, by his name. “I have noticed just now when you took out the box. You…”
“You know how to put on your own make up don’t you? You’ll do it yourself today, since there isn’t enough time for a make up artist to get here.” Junsu immediately changed the topic. “Over that counter are tons of make up. Do as you deem fit. Just make yourself presentable.” Junsu hurriedly walked out of the room, leaving Ri In bewildered.
Ri In wobbled in the pair of heels she was wearing. “I really hate heels! Why do girls have to wear these anyway. I would love to kill whoever invented heels…“ she muttered as she made her way down to the living room where Hye Jin said Junsu was waiting for her. “Oh my…” Ri In shouted in fear as she almost rolled her way down the flight of stairs. “I wish you can go to hell, Kim Junsu. Who asked you to get such a big house with long flights of stairs?!”
Junsu drummed his fingers against the table impatiently, wondering when his ‘wife’ will finally come down. “Ah-choo!” he sneezed suddenly. “Ah-choo! Ah-choo!” sniffing, he reached for the box of tissues. “Three sneezes in a row? Who is cursing me?” he stood up and walked towards the direction of the stairs, intending to drag Ri In down if she’s still not ready. His eyes opened to their limits when he saw Ri In coming down the stairs unsteadily. His gaze fell onto the pair of heels she was wearing. “Who asked you to wear that?!” Junsu shouted and quickly ran up the stairs. “Don’t choose a pair with such a high heel if you know you can’t manage them well!” his hands reached over to her shoulder and waist. Ri In gasped and froze when she felt Junsu’s hands on her. “You pervert!” she emphasized on the last word and attempted to push Junsu away from her.
“Whoa!”
Junsu’s arms were flapping around wildly as he tries to hold onto the railing before he falls. Ri In quickly grabbed onto Junsu’s left hand. Too late. Junsu shouted as he fell backwards, pulling Ri In along with him. “OH MY GOD!” a maid screamed, her eyes transfixed on the couple who were falling in her direction. Junsu and Ri In landed neatly on top of the poor maid, with Ri In sprawled above Junsu. Junsu’s face was just inches from hers. Ri In stared into his big round eyes, as if she was in a spell. The painful moans of the maid below them finally caught Ri In’s attention, and she quickly climbed off Junsu. “Uh… thanks for cushioning.” Ri In knew she sounded dumb. “You saved our lives.” she continued as she pulled the maid off the floor. The maid could only squeak a reply and made her way limping towards… wherever she was going.
