Tricking My Cold Lover

0"Oh, my gosh! I can't believe you did this!" Exclaimed Eun So. She covered her delicate face with her hands, hiding her blush.     0

From behind Eun So, a wide-screen reflected their close-up image.      

Her parents had earlier urged her to stand up for when Haneul would approach. She was standing there, overwhelmed with emotions, while Haneul remained kneeling in front of her, holding up a wedding ring.      

The rest of the production crew that held the other bouquets surrounded them, placing the flowers conveniently near her.      

Eun So looked at her parents and to her shock, they seemed to have approved. They only had wide grins on their faces. When she gave them a question mark look, Shiwoo merely gave a thumbs up.      

Well, she should not be surprised anymore. She was sent over to the Suns and was allowed to live with Haneul for more than a week!      

Eun So realized all those casual talks about them getting married was real. Her parents were truly in on it. She honestly thought that her father wasn't serious about giving her away. After all, she denied her of having a relationship with Haneul for six long years.      

The audience was thrilled for Eun So. They were screaming loudly and blushing along with her. Needless to say, they were excited about when she would say yes.      

What they did not expect, however, was for Eun So to kneel down with him and embraced him tightly.      

Everyone could see how Haneul and Eun So were whispering to each other, constantly pressing their lips against their ears.      

It was as if; they heard nothing else but their own voices, Eun So and Haneul emotionally expressed their feelings for each other.      

"Haneul, I love you so much too. I want to be with you," said Eun So while hugging him tightly, her arms wrapped around his neck.      

Pecking on the side of her face, Haneul whispered back, "I can't wait for the day we marry, Eun So and you know how much I love you."     

She nodded and pecked back on his face.      

"Don't forget to accept the ring, Eun So," he reminded after feeling his back burn from all the eyes watching them.      

Eun So let go to raise her hand, and Haneul carefully put on the diamond ring on her finger.      

Haneul kissed her hand before leaning forward and kissing Eun So on the lips.      

The cameras zoomed in on their faces and their romantic kiss. Of course, they made sure to cover the glittering diamond ring on Eun So's finger.      

At the sight of such a sweet and romantic proposal, the audience further screamed in delight.      

To settle everyone's emotions, a commercial break was needed. The screams and cries were just too overpowering.      

When the talk show came back on, Eun So and Haneul were sitting together on one couch. Shiwoo and Seok sat in another.      

Minji felt she used every muscle on her face to display a smile. She was burning with jealousy, but she had to do her job. She returned her attention to the couple and proceeded with the interview.      

"So Mr. Sun, how hard was it to remain dedicated to Eun So after all those years without having a committed relationship?" Minji asked. She shrugged and added, "You are after all such an eligible bachelor, famous amongst the starlets!"     

'Including you,' Eun So thought while pretending not to be affected by Minji's words.      

Haneul smiled and put an arm around Eun So. He looked at Eun So's sweet face and said, "It was hard because I miss her every day, but when it comes to other ladies, I only wanted to be with Eun So and every other woman was just a blur in my vision."     

"It was frightening, but we had a mutual understanding and the way she smiles at me every day, assured me that she will only love me."     

"I admit the wait was agonizing, but I also understand the feelings of uncle Shiwoo. He lost her daughter for so many years. Even I would want to be selfish of Eun So's love if I were in his shoes."     

"How sweet and considerate," said Minji.      

After another commercial break, Mi-Cha joined in the interview. It was made clear that Haneul never had any other relationship in the entire six years while waiting for Eun So. It was Mi-Cha who brought up the interference of Jeong Soomin.      

The scene where Soomin slapped Eun So in front of her workplace was replayed in front of the audience. It made them cringe in anger, having known the real score.      

"But, we have already reached a settlement following the disturbance Soomin has brought to our relationship and to our families, " said Eun So. "In fact, she created a video of her public apology."     

The viewers were stunned after learning that Eun So was so kind enough to reach a settlement with Soomin and they watched the video of the apology.      

From the wide screen, everyone watched Soomin in silence.      

"To Eun So, Haneul, to Aunt Mi-Cha and the Yeongs, I would like to apologize for my misdeeds. When I learned that Haneul was in love with another girl, I could not accept it. My jealousy clouded my judgment and unfortunately, my mother encouraged it. Everything in the episode about my interference was true, and I am ashamed to admit it. I swear never to come in between them, or any relationship for that matter. This experience was a hard lesson for me."     

Despite having heard Soomin's apology, everyone was still in anger. Minji was shaking her head in disgust before turning to Eun So. She said, "How could you take it, Eun So? I mean the woman was a biatch! Forgive my language."     

Minji sighed and said, "You are just so kind."     

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Minji. She paid the price." Eun So replied.      

"Her father paid a hefty amount of money for the emotional pain she brought us!" Eun So revealed. "Lastly, her public apology - revealing her real name to the public eye is more painful than a slap!"     

Minji's eyes widened at how Eun So's voice was full of conviction. She could not help but comment, "My, Eun So. I did not know you could be a tigress!"     

Eun So smiled at Minji and said, "It's because this experience taught me a valuable lesson. Soomin awakened a sleeping tiger in me."     

"Because of her, people in my workplace judged me wrongly, and which is why I decided to tell the real story of what really happened between me and Haneul."     

The audience was enraged, hearing Eun So's words and Minji felt a lump in her throat. She said, "How.... how awful of them to judge you. The audacity to go against a Yeong!"     

"Exactly! This was the reason why I decided to finally open my book to everyone so people will all understand where I am coming from." She glanced at the audience and said, "I will always be that sweet Eun So which everyone knows, but I swear now on my life to fight back at those whoever shall look down on me! Especially those who try to take what belongs to me!"     

"And to all those who wish to share their untold stories, send us an email to [email protected]. I hope that my show will be an avenue for you to express yourself, your pain, and be fully understood!"     

Applauses were heard from within the studio. Her message was loud and clear, aired nationwide. Eon So meant to warm those who will continue to hurt her behind her. Aside from that, through her show, she wanted to be a voice for those who couldn't express themselves.
