Swapping Housemates

Wedding Dress

Jiyeon just arrived at the hospital. The interns and nurses were looking at her weirdly because Jiyeon was humming as she walked out of the locker room. She was oblivious to the weird stares and just stayed in her own little world.

She barely got three hours of sleep but she was nowhere near cranky.  She kept on getting flashbacks of what happened last night…or rather until early that morning. Jiyeon recalled the first time she made love with Jaejoong. It was so intense, they were both silent, as if talking to each other through their eyes and their bodies were in sync. Jaejoong kept her up all night and didn’t even let her rest between lovemaking. Jaejoong told her that all those months that they slept together on the same bed without anything happening should be enough rest for Jiyeon. She started complaining and asked Jaejoong to get off her but Jaejoong would kiss her until she conceded and gave in to her own urges. Their lovemaking was exhilaratingly different. They showered each other with soft kisses and then they start laughing for no reason and then they’d kiss passionately again. It was nothing Jiyeon ever experienced in the past. It was special.

Jiyeon went to the Nurse Station where her interns were waiting for her. She puts her hand out and asks for her patients’ charts. She looks at each chart carefully. She hands a couple of charts back to them. Both interns look at each other dumbly and then their eyes trail back to Jiyeon.

“Look at it closely and then correct the mistake. Get back to me when it’s done.” Jiyeon said calmly. The interns looked like a bucket of water was splashed on their faces. They were baffled because Jiyeon wasn’t scolding them like she normally would. Their heads turned as Jiyeon walked away from them humming along a tune.

“Is the world about to end?” One of the interns asked in a whisper.

“I think so.” The other intern replied.

Jiyeon went out for her lunch time to accompany Chaerin and do her maid of honor duties. She met up with Chaerin in the Vera Wang boutique in Seoul. Chaerin conceded to a royal blue color motif even though she really wanted pink, just so Jiyeon would wear a gown on her wedding.

“So what am I supposed to do here?” Jiyeon sat down on the couch beside Chaerin. She tossed her bag on the side and put her feet up on the coffee table. Chaerin pushed her feet away.

“Unnie, please behave a little. This isn’t some cheap boutique.” Chaerin scolded her. Jiyeon just shrugged and closed her eyes and placed her feet back on the coffee table.

Jiyeon tried on her gown and checked herself in the mirror. It suited her fine. It wasn’t flirty, slutty nor was it revealing. It was elegant, classy and yet sexy. Chaerin smiled at her in approval and took pictures of her so she could document it in her files.
