Eomma, tôi thích ngôi nhà mới của bạn. Nó là hoàn hảo cho bạn,"tôi nói, nói chuyện. Mark theo tôi và ngồi trên sàn nhà bên cạnh tôi."Ne, tôi thích nó quá. Nhưng đủ của tôi, tôi muốn biết về bạn hai. Tại sao bạn cả hai quyết định ngày sau khi tất cả những năm này?" Dì của tôi là rõ ràng quá mong muốn biết tin đồn này, nhưng tôi nghĩ rằng nó là dễ thương. Tôi đã trả lời, nhưng Mark đánh bại tôi vào nó."Vâng, Trung thực, eomma, tôi đã có này lòng bí mật về cô ấy kể từ khi chúng ta gặp nhau. Tôi không bao giờ có gan nói với cô ấy cho đến khi chúng tôi hoàn thành của chúng tôi năm cuối của trường đại học,"Mark đáng ngạc nhiên thú nhận. Wow. Đợi. Có phải ông vừa nói ông có một lòng bí mật về tôi kể từ trường trung học?! Nó đã làm thế nào long và ông đã không bao giờ thậm chí nói với tôi điều này?"Bwo?""Hm? Oh, Vâng... ah... Tôi không nói với anh, yeobo. Mianhe?" Mark đã được khá xấu hổ, nhưng đó là thực sự dễ thương."Vì vậy chờ đợi. Mijoo, bạn không bao giờ biết về việc này cho đến khi chỉ là bây giờ? Wah ~ làm thế nào dễ thương! Bạn phải thực sự xấu hổ, phải Mark? Được rồi, khi tôi lần đầu tiên gặp chồng tôi một thời gian dài trước đây, chúng tôi đã đi qua này tình hình chính xác, "dì của tôi giải thích cố gắng thoải mái hiệu một chút."Ah thực sự? Vâng, nó là sự thật. Tôi có nghĩa là, để được trung thực, tôi đã hẹn hò với cô gái khác trước khi Mijoo vì tôi không bao giờ nghĩ rằng tôi sẽ có một cơ hội với cô ấy. Sự tự tin của tôi đã đi mỗi khi tôi nghĩ về nói cho cô ấy bởi vì tôi không nghĩ rằng cô ấy nghĩ của tôi bằng cách đó. Tôi bắt đầu có cảm xúc sau khi cô ấy nói với tôi rằng cô em gái, Eunji eonni, có đề nghị bởi Hoya hyung,"Mark tâm sự.I was speechless. I just sat there feeling kind of guilty for some reason. I really had no clue Mark thought this way of me for such a long time. My mouth was slightly agape and I didn't notice it until my aunt said, "Mijoo, close your mouth, you're gonna catch bugs in your mouth. Ahh well our Mijoo is pretty oblivious to these things, as always."Mark chuckled and looked at me. He closes my mouth for me and turned his attention towards my aunt and started to say, "Eomma, since we're here, is there anything new I should know about Mijoo since I just told my biggest secret?" He had this anticipating look on his face that would make anyone like my aunt squeal and fall for."I-I'm going to go to the bathroom, excuse me," I pardoned. Author's POVAuntie sighed and started to peel fruit."You must be someone special to Mijoo, hm? She's only had 2 boyfriends that I've known of and they're all whom I've approved. I remember one time during her last semester of high school, she locked herself in her room for the whole day after school because of this boy. I don't know if she's told you about him, but he left her so heartbroken that her sister nor myself could get through to her," Auntie told Mark.Mark was curios and confused. He remembered that she came to him crying her eyes out, but didn't want to question her on it. He only remembered this day because it was the only day he saw Mijoo cry. Both of them had talked about their relationships, but Mijoo never went into depth with her most recent one. Mark did't question it."She actually didn't tell me about this guy. But I knew that he had left her heartbroken like that, and it's his loss. She deserves someone better than that--no…she deserves someone even better than me. I don't know where I would be without her by my side all this time. There's something about her that--I don't know..that makes me excited about waking up and starting the day, you know? I don't think I can see myself living without her..." Mark was speaking his mind at this point, not noticing that he was just saying things out loud unintentionally. He heard Mijoo's aunt put her knife down and that was when he was pulled out of his trance."..Oh..ah..um, mianhe, ajumma. I didn't mean to carelessly talk like that..""Talking like that only proves how worthy you are for my niece. I'm glad she found a treasure like you, Mark," Auntie said with a genuine smile. Mark looked down and grinned a bit at her compliment."Now, about Mijoo, hmm, I have a photo album of her when she was a child, let me grab that from upstairs, I'll be right back," Auntie announced cheerfully. Mijoo's POV"…I'm glad she found a treasure like you, Mark."I leaned my back against the wall of the hallway soaking in this new information as I heard Mark's ramble. If I was speechless before, I didn't know what I was now. I know Mark was never one to be really affectionate with words, but somehow I always knew what he meant. This? This is something entirely different. It's a good different though.I straightened up and braced myself to turn the corner. I walked towards Mark, but he didn't know I was coming because his back was faced me. Since I couldn't speak, I let my actions speak for me.His head was tilted downwards checking his phone. I smiled and sat down behind him giving him a back hug resting my head on his back. Something about this whole scene in front of me gave me a wave of comfort. Maybe it was the fact that my aunt thinks he's the one (I know she didn't say it, but she thought it). Maybe it was the fact that Mark was so comfortable around my aunt. Or maybe it was the fact that Mark has been more affectionate that he's ever been. I'm not sure, but whatever it was, I was at bliss at this very moment.I felt Mark's body jump a bit at my surprise hug, but then felt his hands wrap around my arms on his stomach. His thumb tan across my arm comfortingly and he turned his head to the side said, "you surprised me, jagi."Without releasing my hold on him, I transitioned to move next to him as his arm was slung around my shouder. I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek then moved to snuggle into his chest without a word. I decided not to tell him that I overheard their conversation. He grabbed my hand and kissed it, also without a word.This is one of those times I'm thankful for his obliviousness.•••The rest of the evening was spent reminiscing about my time with my aunt. We shared laughs and lunch and the happiness we all felt never faltered. She told stories of me as a child when Eunji eonni and I would spend the entire summer with her. She even told Mark my embarrassing moments. Aish, they weren't even sugar coated; she just blurted them out like nothing. But being with my aunt today really made me miss her.After several hours of visiting, we lost track of time and almost missed the last bus to town. It was around 4:45 pm and the last bus was going to leave in 15 minutes. We said our goodbyes and gave my aunt one last hug before parting ways."I promise to visit more often in the future, eomma. Don't move anywhere, it was hard to find your house here," I joked."Of course my beautiful angel. And don't come until you've given birth to this baby," My aunt said bluntly.Was it easy to tell when someone was pregnant?!My eyes went wide and I looked at Mark who was a step behind me. He, too was shocked and said, "I didn't say anything, I was waiting for you," and held his hands up in surrender."Oh, you think you could hide things from me? Don't you know: mothers know best," she said with a wink."Arasso, eomma. I'm only a few weeks pregnant. I was going to tell you, but you beat me to it," I admitted."How could you hide it? You're already glowing! That, and I can see a small bump. I know you haven't gained weight either because I remember no matter how much you eat, you would hardly gain anything. Anyway, go now! You're going to miss the bus. Don't worry about me. Your sister is coming down after New Year's, so I won't be that bored in the mean time. Mark, you take care of her as you've been doing. She's very stubborn. I can't wait to see my grandchild.""Bye, eomma, saranghae," I said while walking and blowing a kiss behind me.
And just like that, we parted ways again.

On the way back to the hotel, we stopped by to get some ice cream because I was craving something sweet. We went to a parlor not too far from our hotel and sat on a bench outside while eating. We watched traffic pass by as we sat in silence enjoying our little treat. I broke the silence by saying, "oppa. thank you," and rested my head on his shoulder enjoying the sensation of bliss and satisfaction I felt at this moment.
This has been the happiest I've been in months all thanks to an oblivious boy named Mark Tuan.
