Of Perfect Dates and Allergies

Here's the after effect of being left at home for eating too much of gramp's bicol express and suffering from another major tummy ache with all my cousins heading out to play paint ball---a fanfic..

:o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D

She checked her reflection on the full length mirror one last time. Her hair flowed just past her shoulders. Unlike most days of the week, she had no make up on, just some moisturizer and a dab of gloss on her lips. The yellow sundress fit her perfectly. The halter straps showed off her sexy collar bones. SEXY WITHOUT REVEALING ANYTHING, he said when he gave it to her a week ago. She smiled at the girl staring right back at her. THIS IS NO GIRL, THIS IS A WOMAN, A FULL GROWN WOMAN. She was satisfied. She smoothed the dress, then spun around, enjoying how the skirt flowed as she continued to spin some more. There was no need to wear heels to day, so she opted to wear the flattest pair pf white sandals she could find. A touch of her favorite perfume on her perfectly glowing skin add that tiny smile of excitement she's been trying to contain, then she was ready.

BUIN, BUIN! He called out. Hyunjoong entered the bedroom door dressed in tattered jeans, a really old and stained maroon shirt, messy hair and a bead of sweat on top of his left eyebrow.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!WHY ISN'T HE READY YET?? Hwangbo asks herself. Both of them have been preparing and planning this day for two months now, but nothing seems to be going right. OF COURSE! Hwangbo realized as she pushed herself off the bed. HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN ASLEEP?, she asks

HMM, I'M NOT SURE. YOU WERE SLEEPING WHEN I CAME, JUNJIN HYUNG LET ME IN, Hyunjoong answers after setting a tray with porridge and vegetable soup on her bedside table.

Hwangbo suddenly felt guilty. She just ruined everything. They have not seen each other for two months now, and they have been planning to spend time together, She remembered the countless email exchanges as they planned for this, how hard it was for both of them to actually be able to get a day off from work while they were both in Korea, how Hyunjoong had to work overtime to learn his songs, dance routines and scripts just so they could get some free time, how they once argued and ended up fighting on the phone over which restaurant they should dine in. Hwangbo sat on the bed when her world suddenly spun. WHOA!!, she tried to balance herself as Hyunjoong reached for her.

I'M FINE...I'M—-she was suddenly distracted with her own reflection—hair pulled in a messy bun on top of her head, a really old gray sweater from college, her favorite ahjumma pajamas, really puffy red eyes, a swollen top lip, red running nose. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY HYUNJOONG. I RUINED EVERYTHING. She sobbed.

Wearing the yellow sundress he bought from Thailand for their perfect date was a dream afterall. Last night, she should have listened to Bongsun and Boram.

The ex-Infinity Girls gathered last night for dinner. After her taping, they went straight to the restaurant where a big buffet was served and d@mn, was Hwangbo ready to ditch her diet and dig in to the food. Bongsun warned her about the no-so-fresh looking clams, but since when did Bongsun become the food expert. Boram nudged her as she set a plateful of clams on the table. THEY'RE NOT SO FRESH, she warned, but hunger got the best of Hwangbo and she ate away, YAH, AREN'T YOU ALLERGIC?...too late... Before Boram knew it, Hwangbo was already scrambling for her bag and her medicine kit

Silent tears began to flow. She was too stubborn and she hated that most about herself.

OMO! WHY ARE YOU CRYING? I DID NOT ADD CLAMS TO THE PORRIDGE, Hyunjoong joked. Hwangbo glared at him as more tears flowed. She was feeling emotional and very guilty.

I'M JUST KIDDING BUIN!! Hyunjoong sat beside her and grabbed her lightly by the waist, IT'S OKAY...

She let herself melt like ice cream in Hyunjoong's gentle embrace. I'M SO SORRY HYUNJOONG. I RUINED EVERYTHING. WE'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR MONTHS, AND I RUINED IT. He's never seen this side of her—like a child who needed reassurance or needed someone to take care of her, He smiled at the thought of him finally getting his rare chance to take care of her. In this relationship and for as long as he could remember, she was always the one taking care of him—cooking for him, cooking for the boys, making sure he had flu shots, buying him vitamins, knitting him sweaters, flying to Japan when he was diagnosed with H1N1, doing even the most unnecessary things to make sure he was safe, happy and sound.

THERE, THERE...he pulled her closer after kissing her swollen eyelids. After a few more minutes of being snuggled inside her Shillang's embrace, her sobs finally subsided. Hyunjoong half carried her. Now, she was seated on Hyunjoong's lap. HERE, LEMME TAKE A LOOK AT YOU, Hyunjoong pushed some locks pf he hair behind her ear and wiped the visible tears on her cheeks. She was a mess. He made a mental note never to feed her clams or any not so fresh looking seafoods. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL, INDEPENDENT WOMAN NEEDED SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF HER, he said to himself.

Hwangbo looked at him, then frowned. I'M SORRY FOR RUINING OUR DATE, she whispered.

HWANGBUIN, WE DO NOT NEED TO GO TO A RESTAURANT OR SOME FANCY, EXPENSIVE RESORT TO HAVE A PERFECT DATE, he kissed her again, on the swollen lip this time. YOU KNOW, THIS IS CHEESY, BUT TRUE—I FOUND PERFECTION JUST BY BEING HERE DOING EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING NOW... TAKING CARE OF YOU AND MAKING SURE YOU ARE FINE.

Her face lit up. Finally, a smile broke on her gorgeous face.

As Hyunjoong watched Hwangbo eat her porridge, he suddenly started giggling. She gave him a confused look. DO YOU KNOW WHY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, HYEJUNG?, he suddenly asked

WEI??

NOT ONLY ARE YOU AS STRONG AS A MAN, YOU EAT LIKE A MAN, TOO. SEE THE END RESULT??

With that, a pillow suddenly came flying towards Hyunjoong's face.

PABO!! Hwangbo laughed.
