Yui was just a Korean girl from the Korean take away, all she did was stir rice everyday. She had missed her chance in life, she wanted to do Electronics at Warwick University, which is very hard to pronounce if you are Korean, but her dad got sick after the accident in the kitchen, so it was her duty to stay and stir rice. Her brother, left and did do Electronics at Warwick. Vincent had a colourful life, but hers was just a white life stirring rice. He was headhunted by Huawei and he did send money which kept the take away going, but Yui still had to stir rice.

Michael was just a security guard, busy guarding whatever he was told to guard, but every Friday night he had a takeaway. He’d waddle along, he had one funny foot, a forklift truck drove over his left foot while he was guarding an Amazon facility, it was on a Friday, it was a Black Friday for him. He did get a bit of compensation but he’d rather be able to run for the bus, though he did now qualify for a free bus pass.  

Michael was big and strong with a behind as big as Donald Trump’s though Michael did not have a big long coat to hide it. Now Yui grew to like Michael as he came in every Friday, to eat the last bowl of rice and whatever was on the menu. Who would have Michael with his funny foot, who would want her in her big white lab coat serving behind the counter. Her dad insisted it would make them look more professional as they served behind the counter. They’d look like chemists, a higher class of rice givers.

Michael had bought new trousers that day from the Daily Mail online shop because they were the cheapest, and for £40 you got 2 pairs. So Michael had used the office computer and had them delivered to where he was guarding,whatever it was he was guarding that 3 months. As Yui waited for her dad to prepare the rice and beef noodles Seoul style she looked at Michael. His carrier was broken, and the new pants fell on the floor. Michael bent to pick up his treasure and Yui could see his hairy builders bum, but at least it was firm not saggy.

I’ll give you a new carrier Yui offered, and that’s how the ice was broken, she gave him a new carrier, screw Sky if it led to romance. Michael thanked her, when his food arrived he was starving so he dug straight in. Her dad left as it was closing time, so Yui locked the door and told him to sit while she went in the back and started cleaning. There is always 90 mins of cleaning when the take away, any take away closes. You don’t leave things in the sink till morning.

Michael finished his food and burped, Yui laughed from the kitchen. I better go then said Michael, Yui appeared from the kitchen wearing rubber gloves but not her lab coat, just a Tshirt with a Kpop girl band on it. Yui pointed to Yui on the Tshirt, that’s me I’m Yui she said. Michael smiled, without the oversized lab coat Yui was very curvy. He dropped his carrier bag and when he bent over to pick up the contents he slipped on the plastic and banged his head against the counter.

Yui laughed, you are such a silly little man with your silly little walk. I had a accident that’s why I have the silly little walk, said Michael  defensively. I’m sorry my dad have an accident too, impulsively she kissed him on the cheek, there was Mistletoe on the ceiling, a customer had left it there the week before.

Now one kiss, is all it takes sometimes, the damn bursts and the Korean wall falls. Though not tonight. Why do you always come here asked Yui? Because you are so beautiful, blurted out Michael,I mean its on my way home, I live around the road in Wright Rd, which is hard to say if you are Korean, but Michael did live in Wright Rd, and she was perfect for him, the Right girl. You think I’m Pretty? Yes, said Michael spitting out the last mouthful of rice all over her face. Sorry he said and started to wipe it from her face. Now at this moment two things could happen. She could use her Martial Arts skills to bounce him out of the take away, or she could let him into her heart.

So spitting rice into Yui’s face had won her heart, instinctively she grabbed his hand that was wiping the rice from her face and hair and held it against her heart. But then she realised she’d let him touch her breast, so she dropped his hand. But the Rubican had been crossed, she blushed, he blushed. Do you have a wife? Michael laughed, who would want me with my fat arse and my funny foot. You have very nice arse, nice and firm, but a bit too hairy, maybe I shave it for you?

Yui was tired, it had been a long day. Sorry I don’t know what I said, she blushed again. That’s why I bought the new trousers laughed Michael, to cover my huge arse. He held them up only to drop them on the floor again, Yui and Michael both bent to pick up the trousers.  Their heads banged together. They had to sit on the floor to recover, rubbing each others’ head. I let you out now,I have to finish cleaning,you go home, but next week wear your trousers, let me see if your Chinos look nice. Size 46, is your bum really that size?

So Michael went home, and as he got into bed he looked at his dead mother’s photo. Love will Conquer All, that’s what mum had said. Was a firm but hairy arse the key to finally finding his one true love.

The next week he was wearing his new trousers and Yui locked up and when the door was closed made him bend down, so she could  judge his trousers. Well you still have a nice bum, and she slapped it as he was still bending over. She laughed and went to start to cleaning he could talk to her while she cleaned.

Michael looked at the reflection of his behind in the shop window, trying all different positions. He felt he was being watched, and indeed he was on the takeaway security camera. Yui laughed she’d seen him on the monitor in the back. Michael followed the laughter into the back, don’t put that on the Internet. Your bum is bigger than that lady who broke the internet with her bum, laughed Yui. So Michael laughed and helped with the cleaning. They were a good team at cleaning.

At 2.30am Yui let Michael out of the shop, aren’t you afraid being out so late on your own, his security guard mode coming to the fore. You could walk me home if you like, said Yui. She could feel he was the one, a stupid one, but his heart was good. So they walked, Yui in actual fact lived in the next street, Berry Street.

 However the course of true love is never straight, a couple lads, made brave by alcohol were following them. Seeing Michael’s walk they started to mock him. Yui was a good girl, but nobody was going to insult her husband material, she was getting old now, she had decided Michael would be the one, if only he could accept her problem.

Now the drunken lads had a problem, a Black Belt Taekwondo, you have a problem? Asked Yui, they laughed and swung a punch, Michael tried to get in the way to protect Yui, he just managed to get a bloody nose. His blood splattered all over Yui’s treasured Kpop Tshirt. The rest was a blur, Yui battered both of them, how dare they hurt her future husband material. She tore a strip from her Tshirt and commanded him to hold it to his nose. They Bastards, they are, the do not have the right to hurt my future husband, my nice tight arse husband, with the hairy bum. Yes the adrenalin was pumping, she had let all her cats out of the oven, or bag or whatever, hurting her future husband, and ruining her favourite Tshirt. She was so angry if she was a man she’d go back and piss on them in the gutter, but she did not have the equipment.

Michael tripped over his carrier bags again, she picked up his bags, she’d better walk him home instead he walk her home. As she headed back towards the 2 drunken lads they ran way with fear in their heart, straight into the roadworks for the new sewer. She in a way she did piss on them after all.

Michael thanked her at the door, and as he fumbled for his keys in the dark Yui dropped his carriers with more trousers in. They were such a good fit he’d bought more of them. So now he slipped over again, she caught him and held him against her chest. He could feel her heart beating, it beat with love for him. Inside she tidied him up, and then she said, I’ve never done this before. Removing her Tshirt she revealed a burn mark on her belly. The rice cooker had fallen on her dad and as she tried to save her dad she got burnt and had a scar on her belly.

No man will look at me, because of this scar. Then she turned away, tears falling. Love Conquers All my mum said, who would have me with my funny foot. But you do have a nice firm arse laughed Yui. Then they undressed. Who would have me with this pimple here, or this other scar here, they pointed at various places on their body, blemishes real and imaginary. That’s nothing look at this, they were showing each other their bodies just as a used car salesman looks at the paintwork on a car. Michael then bent down, see my perfect firm arse as you call it, it’s not perfect, it has a crack in it. Then he farted.

Yui, rushed to open a window, Michael just do 3 things for me, go to the toilet, shower, then make love to me. Sometime a girl has to take control, Michael obeyed, never argue with Korean girl with a Black Belt. You see Korean girls are perfect, not because of their Beauty, but because they will defend their man, their far from perfect man, they are good with rice too. Yui would stay the night, and every night, Michael would learn to work in a takeaway, and dad could retire and live with Vincent, far far away. As for Michael and Yui they took a photo of themselves naked, or rather of Michael’s firm but hairy arse, with Yui’s belly scar right next to it. Just to prove that Love Conquers All.
