After her discharge from the hospital, Meera lived with Jaebum in his apartment. She was a bit awkward around his parents so Jaebum thought it would be better if they lived separately. His parents didn't mind.

"Thankyou for the breakfast." Jaebum wiped his lips with a tissue and stood up to keep his plate in the basin. Meera gave him a small smile as he left.

That was their routine. She would wake up first to cook him breakfast, he would get ready for work and leave after having breakfast. Then a maid will come and clean the house, after which she'll cook lunch and dinner for them. Because she only knows how to make an omelette. And he never complained. He ate omelette every morning.

By the time she would leave, it would be late afternoon. Meera will kill her time or cry in her room. Jaebum would come back around seven in the evening. They'll have dinner and talk a little before going to bed.

Nothing more. Nothing else.

Jaebum wanted to give her some time to adjust and recover mentally.

Meera was feeling guilty for holding him back. For her, he should be enjoying his time and not get stuck with her. The weight of the guilt was much too difficult to handle. She felt useless and not good enough for him. Thousands of negative thoughts run in her mind everyday. Every time she sees him smiling at her she feels her heart shattering into uncountable pieces.

There will be nights when she would wake up with cold sweat and trembling body, and Jaebum would be there, hugging her to calm her down while whispering sweet words in her ear.

He's giving his all for me. And I can't even let him touch me for once.

Her trauma wasn't something that she could forget in a few days and get over it. For people it was years back but for her it was something which happened a few weeks ago.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted with the sound of the doorbell. Meera stood up and opened the door. A look of surprise took over her face.

"HaeRa!" She hugged her friend who gladly hugged her back.

They both made themselves comfortable in the living room and talked about random things. "Where is Soyou? I wanted to meet her." Meera asked.

"She is with her grandmother these days. My mother is here for a vacation and she took Soyou with her."

They talked for some more time till Meera realised that the maid, Mrs Lee didn't come. She checked her phone to see a message from her.

Mrs lee: My apologies but I won't be able to come today. Sorry Miss.

Meera: it's okay Aunty. Hope you're fine. Do let me know if you need some help.

"Who was that?" HaeRa asked while sipping her tea.

"Aunty. She won't come today."

"Oh. Let me help you in the kitchen then." They went to the kitchen and HaeRa helped her with the cooking. Meera just did some side work.

"So how's it going with Jaebum?" HaeRa finally asked. That was the main reason of her visit. She wanted to know if they've made any progress in their relationship.

"It's fine I guess." Meera answered sadly. She didn't know what else to say.

"Meera." HaeRa held her hand. "Things must be difficult for you but you have to be strong. For him. You need to at least try to move on. We are with you."

"I don't know. I really don't know what to do. I feel like I'm burdening him with my presence. I'm not sure if I can give him the life he deserves. I'm broken HaeRa. I cannot be fixed."

Tears slipped out of her cheeks over and over again. HaeRa hugged her and rubbed her back to calm her. After she relaxed a bit HaeRa securely held her shoulders.

"You don't have to do anything big for him. You know how he is right?" Meera nodded.

"Maybe a lunch?" She looked at her with a confused expression. "Take this lunch to his office? It would mean a lot to him."

Meera gave it a thought. She nodded. "Okay."
She needs to do something. Step by step.

"I'm so sorry. I would've stayed-"

"HaeRa it's okay. Your mother needs you right now. I just have to stir it right?"

"Yes. Turn off the gas when it starts boiling."

HaeRa's mother was back and was calling her home. Meera went back to the kitchen and started cleaning the mess. When all the things were done she packed the lunch and got ready herself. Her closet was filled with tonnes of branded clothes and accessories. So she wore a new dress with heels and make up. She wasn't used to this but enjoyed it thinking about Jaebum's reaction.

She twirled in front of the full size mirror admiring herself. "It's pretty."

"I don't know the address." She face palmed. She didn't know the address of his office. But something clicked in her mind. She went to his study and looked for his business card. Luckily she found it soon.

She nervously walked into the elevator and thought about the floor. She tilted her head in confusion. She didn't know the floor.

"Madam? Which floor?" She got confused. "Do you know the floor where Im Jaebum is?" The man nodded and pushed the required floor. A minute later she got off the elevator and nervously walked in the corridors hoping to see her man.

But she didn't find him. Instead she spotted someone who seemed to be of her age. She tapped his shoulder. "Excuse me?" He turned around and froze in his spot when he saw the woman in front. He recognised her. He quickly bowed.

"Good afternoon madam. How may I help you?" He stood straight. Meera gave him a an awkward smile. "I'm looking for Im Jaebum."

"Sir is in a meeting. You can wait in his office." He took the lead and walked her to the office. Meera walked around the big spacious cabin.

She went to his desk as her eyes caught three picture frames on one side of his desk. One had a picture of his parents. The second one was a picture with his friends. High school. Yugyeom and Bambam were there too. Meera didn't mind at all. They were his friends. Best friends.

And the third picture was their picture. Jaebum and Meera. It was selfie of one of their dates. She was smiling crazily while he did a 'v' sign. Meera picked it up to admire it closely. She remembered that day. She remembered how she forcefully stuffed his mouth with tteokbeokki because she couldn't eat it. And he didn't complain. He let her do what she wanted.

"Mam, tea is ready." The man placed the tea on the table which was placed in the centre with couches and sofas around it, like a mini living room. Meera sat on the couch and carefully sipped the tea. Ginger and honey. Her favourite.

"Sir told me about this once." He cleared it so that she won't see him as a weird person. Meera nodded in understanding.

"I don't want to be rude but who are you?"

"Oh my apologies I didn't introduce myself. My name is Cha Eunwoo. I'm the chief secretary."

He accompanied her for a while before leaving for some work. A few moments later the door opened again. She immediately stood up to greet the person.

"Hey." She waved her hand with a smile.

Jaebum stood frozen at the door. His eyes widened, not believing that she was there in his office. He slowly stepped towards her. Meera lifted the small bag. "I brought lunch." It was then he realised that it was real. He sped walked and hugged her tight. She was taken aback but eventually hugged him back. She knew that she was safe in his arms.

After a minute they pulled away but still had their arms around each other. There eyes had that love and admiration. The spark they shared long ago was back. He could feel her trying to improve their relationship just by this one step she took towards him. And he was grateful for that.

"What is it?" Jaebum looked at the lunch. Meera thought for a while. "It is supposed to be bibimbap and some soup. But I'm not sure if it actually tastes like how it should."

"You cooked?" He asked with a surprised tone.

"I tried."

He sat on the sofa while she opened the bag and served him. She patiently waited for his views. He dramatically took a bite as she intertwined her fingers in anticipation. He looked happy. And Meera sighed in relief.

"Bibimbap tastes.." and then he showed a thumbs up while taking another bite. Meera clapped her hand in excitement. And Jaebum could think of only one thing.

The old Meera is still a part of her.

"Try that soup! HaeRa helped me with bibimbap but I made that soup on my own." She placed the bowl in front. He smiled and leaned forward to take a big slurp but ended up coughing. Meera rubbed his back.

"What happened?" She took the bowl from him. "It's just.." he was trying to say something but his lips were red and eyes had tears. Meera quickly took a spoon.

"It's so spicy!" She covered her lips as the heat of the spices was too much. She then remembered adding those spices twice because she forgot if she added them the first time. She hit her head lightly.

"It's still good. Let me eat it." He took the bowl again and was about to drink it but she stopped him. "Yah! Leave it!" He ended up taking a few slurps before she harshly grabbed the bowl. "Yah!"

His face was red as he bit his lips feeling the spices. Meera was hurt. He was eating that soup just because she made it even though it wasn't edible enough. Her eyes become teary seeing his state.

She extended her hand and gently caressed his cheeks with the tip of her fingers. Jaebum silently observed her movements as her eyes looked at each and every inch of his face. Her fingertips went from his cheeks to the side of his eyes before bringing them to touch the side of his lips. With a sure mind she leaned forward and placed her lips on his.

Jaebum's mind stopped working. His eyes went wide when he felt her lips against his own. He regained his composure and closed his eyes to kiss her back. His hands went to hold her waist and turned her so that her back rests against the couch. Her arms went around his broad shoulders to hold him. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss by licking her bottom lips. She moaned at the feeling and let her hands roam freely on his well defined torso, touching his chest and abs. Jaebum tasted her mouth as gently as possible. He didn't want to scare her. He went with the slow and let her decide the pace of the kiss.

"I love you so much." He said as his lips ghosted over hers. They were breathing heavily with their hands on each other. Meera's hands went inside his blazer as she tried to remove it hesitantly. Her eyes not leaving his which heated the atmosphere.

Jaebum leaned forward and kissed her again. This time more firmly and strongly. His arm went around her waist and pulled her closer to his body. She bit his lip making him groan which turned her on. She opened her mouth wide to kiss him more. They were so into their kiss that they didn't realise someone continuously knocking on the door.

Finally the man couldn't wait any longer and entered the office but regretted his decision when he saw his employer making out with his girlfriend on the couch with his blazer on the floor. Their moans and low groans made the newly entered man uncomfortable.

"S-Sir?"
