Choi Do Il× Oh Injoo (Little Women Korea Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6 "This is my truth Injoo ssi"

"You both forgot our home address or what? We don't stay near Han river", Injoo's mom said.

"It's a surprise", Injoo said scrunching her nose.

"Unnie, I forgot to tell you. I am gonna stay at Halmeoni's place today. Have some work to do. See you tomorrow", Inkyung bid them goodbye as she got in Jang ho's car.

"Huh? She is in such a hurry." Injoo said, when she noticed Do-il standing near the taxis.

"Do-il ssi", she walked towards him, "I was saying that how about you stay with us for a few days before returning to Greece?", Injoo asked him but had an awkward vibe.

"Do you really want me to stay? Then why don't you sound like it?", Do-il smirked.

"Umm, I really want you to stay with us....for...a few days.", Injoo nodded and said.

"Ok, sure. I will stay with you",Do-il said without any second thought, looking adorably at her.

Injoo kind of got the clue and went towards her mom.

"Omma! Lets go now!", Injoo said.

In the apartment
"Omo! When did you buy this? How come I don't know anything about my children? This is why that Minwoo was asking for money? Now I get it.", Injoo's mom said and Injoo didn't deny it. She didn't want her parents to know about the 70 billion won.

Injoo's dad was also surprised, what they couldn't achieve in so many years, their daughters did it in like few months?

"Great aunt gifted me this Omma. But it was my lifelong drean, so I am going to maintain it and stay here.", Injoo said as her voice was breaking remembering great aunt.

"Ahem! Do-il ssi, omma, appa, freshen up fast. I am very hungry. Going to order a take out.", Injoo looked at Do-il.

"Okay" Do-il replied and went to his room.

"Is he your boyfriend?",Injoo's mom asked her in a low voice.

"No omma. We are colleagues. We work together.", she said.

"Huh? I think he likes you. Confirm it with him.", Injoo's mom added to Injoo's confusion and went to Inkyung's room.

During lunch, Do-il was sitting beside Injoo and her parents were sitting opposite them.

"Choi Do-il ssi? Have some kimchi stew.", Injoo's mom pushed the bowl towards him.

"Thank you omoni.", he nodded and took a spoonful of soup.

"You look so handsome. Do you like our Injooya?", Injoo's mom asked him straightforwardly.

Do-il choked on his food.

"Omma!", Injoo widened her eyes and told her mom to shut up.

"I am talking to him. Not to you. Do-il ssi, have some water", Injoo's mom handed him a glass of water.

"It's ok omoni. I'm good.", Do-il side eyed Injoo to look at her reaction. She was furious.

"Yes, I like her, but I am not sure about her feelings, so I am letting her take her time.", Do-il sat straight and respectfully said this.

Injoo was beyond shocked. She looked at him and then her mother, then hit his arm, "Ahh Do-il ssi, what kind of joke is this? Haha haha haha", She tried to act smart but failed.

"I am not joking.", Do-il moved his head left and right.
"Aaa, not joking...ok", Injoo awkwardly started eating her food.

Injoo's dad read the room and intervened, "Do-il ssi, you live in Greece?", he asked.

"I recently moved there.", He looked towards him.

"Your parents must be so lucky, such a good looking man you are", Injoo's mom smiled, "Where do you work? Your clothes look very expensive"

Injoo cut her off in the middle, "Omma, stop it now."

"I used to work for Park Jae Sang, taking care of their accounts and money. I earned a lot in the process.", he answered firmly.

"Wah! Daebak! They have so much money that they keep people to look after it. Hahaha!",Injoo's mom burst into laughter.

"Anyway, if Injoo says yes,  we have no problem with you dating or marrying her. ", she added.

Injoo stood up immediately, " I have finished my meal. Thank you", she took her utensils and kept them in the sink.

Do-il smiled and started eating again.

In the evening, Injoo's parents went back to there old home, leaving Do-il and her alone in the apartment.

"Injoo ssi, I am sorry", Do-il stood outside Injoo's room where she was unpacking her luggage.

"I know I should have told you first, but I couldn't deny in front of your mother", Do-il entered the room.

Injoo sighed. "Do-il ssi, enough with the jokes. I know I am naive and silly, but that doesn't mean you can tease me with a subject like this.", she was so serious that Do-il himself got confused whether to laugh or to cry.

"You really think I am joking?", Do-il chuckled in disbelief.

"Yes", Injoo replied with confidence.

"Why?" 

"Because it can't be real. Although I was popular among men, you aren't one of them. Your style is different",Injoo said without making any eye comtact.

"How can you not believe me when I am admitting that I like you?", Do-il got frustrated this time.

Injoo took a moment to think.
"I always thought that you are in a relationship with money, you love money. You protected me because of that 70 billion won. You and woman? Never crossed my mind even. Except that one time. You don't seem like that.", Injoo blabbered.

"I protected you because it was you. Because I wanted to protect you.", Do-il interrupted.

"But you always said it was because of the money"

"Yes, I thought so too. But then, I find myself always thinking about you, nonstop. Why so? You don't even have 70 billion Won to your name now.", Do-il tried to explain. Confessing someone was never this difficult.

"Do-il ssi, I think you need some sleep. Go and have a nap.", Injoo came near him and put her hand on his forehead, "Do you have a fever? I don't think so"

The moment she tried to remove her hand, Do-il held it.

"Did you ever worry about me?", Do-il whispered. His voice was deep and low.

"Suddenly...what has gotten into you?", Injoo became awkward.

Do-il pulled her towards him, "During that accident, and when I left for Panama, well, you knew it as Greece. Weren't you worried about me?", he asked again.

"I was worried, of course I was. But I..."

"No 'if' 'but'...", Do-il came closer to her.
Injoo suddenly closed her eyes tightly expecting a kiss coming in.

Do-il chuckled lightly and kissed on her forehead.

"I like you, Injoo ssi", he whispered, "I don't care that you believe me or not, but this is my truth and it will remain like that."
