Catch Me, I'm Falling

THE JUDGE

Eunwoo was silent still on his knees begging Jisoo in front of the judge that seems to be intrigued by their recent issues.

"And no sir. I don't want to be rematch to someone else again. I'm staying as Mrs. Lee," Jisoo added looking straight at the judge.

'I see. They have become attached to each other for the past months after their marriage. This is good news,' the judge thought.

"Very well said Mrs. Lee then there's still one thing you need to do. Together," the judge said.

Jisoo help Eunwoo to stood up.

"And that is?," Jisoo asked.

"Interviews of course. Those photos gave leaked around the world now as we speak. So you two need to assure the public that you are still together and everything you need to say," the judge replied.

Jisoo cup Eunwoo's face. He smiled at her.

"Yes we know what to do about that sir," Jisoo replied.

"Just so you know Mr and Mrs. Lee I'm not trying to separate you two I'm just assuring that that word will not happen and I think between the two of you it won't. That's all you can go now. I'm sure many reporters are there already. Thank you for your time," the judge finally said his last speech and he exited the office leaving the two alone.

Jisoo exhaled. Eunwoo was still too stunned to speak.

"You alright?," Jisoo decided to asked him.

"I'm so sorry Jisoo. I just followed my instinct that day and that is to help my friend I can't just watch there and do nothing. I... I am really sorry. Please forgive me," Eunwoo said while he is pacing back and forth holding his temple.

He is indeed panicking now. Just heating the word leave, left, separate, broke up made his brain be caught in a whirlwind of thoughts.

"Shhh we talked about this a week ago and you explained everything. I know I asked to be alone and I think that's for the best of the both of us that time and I won't leave you again. I promised that right?," Jisoo replied holding his face while looking straight at his expressive worried eyes.

Eunwoo stared at her eyes then he hugged her tight.

"I'm just... I think I can't live without you by my side after everything that happened," Eunwoo confessed.

"I know. And I'm here. I won't leave. I assure you that," Jisoo replied caressing his back.

Eunwoo release Jisoo from his tight hug and he face her.

"Can I...," Eunwoo begun but he is hesitant to say the words.

"Say it," Jisoo replied encouraging him.

Eunwoo look back at her," can I... can I kiss you?"

Jisoo was a bit taken aback. She did not know if the whole world around them disappear after she heard the words but she's sure that she can hear her heartbeat beating crazy and butterflies was flying in her stomach.

"You... you know you don't have to say yes. I'm just... it's just v—," Eunwoo was panicking again but Jisoo cut him off in the middle of his rambling sentence.

"If-if you want to. I-I mean I'm your wife. You are my husband that's normal right?," Jisoo replied.

Eunwoo stared at her again. There is his stare that can melt someone if that can happen to a person.

He slowly cup both her cheeks feeling every skin that his fingertips can reach. Slowly he look at her eyes, to her nose, and finally to her lips. He stared at her lips for almost 10 seconds and then he look at her eyes again like asking for her permission. Jisoo stared back at his eyes probably giving her permission. He slowly got near her holding her waist tightly with his left arm while his right hands was placed on her jaw to support her face.

He slowly got near her face probably trying to perfect the moment before they finally kissed each other. When their faces was just inches apart...

"Mr. and Mrs. Lee your driver is outside waiting for you," someone knocked on the door while saying those words.

Jisoo cough awkwardly, "thanks we are going now"

Eunwoo was speechless and his thoughts is the only thing that's speaking to him.

'It's just inch! Just inches away!,' he thought.

"Ah Eunwoo?," Jisoo call his attention.

"Yes my wife?," he replied startled.

"Le-let's go?," Jisoo awkwardly ask him.

"Oh yes of course," Eunwoo replied.

The awkward moment lasts until they are inside the van.
