Chapter 48

3 Years Without Love, With Happiness

"So, where are we going?" Eunha ask after Yerin has drove for about 15 minutes from her house 

"Somewhere" Yerin answer her with wink 

"Yea I know it must be somewhere but where is it?"

"Uhm, somewhere" 

"Seriously? Are you trying to kidnapping me?" Eunha getting frustrated with Yerin somewhere answer 

"Pft! Why should I kidnapping you??" Yerin was laughing 

"I don't know. Maybe, you want to sell me? Or take my inner organ? All those things is all worthy and can make people become billionaire just in a blink of eye" Eunha said, adding another laughter from Yerin 

"Come on Eunha? Why would I do that kind of things?? Beside, even if I did that. Nobody gonna buy your inner organ by the way. You're old, people are looking for kids and teenagers organ. Theirs are more healthy" 

"How did you know? Seems like you're indeed an inner organ seller. Stop the car, I want to get out" Eunha was already holding the door 

"I thought it just your height who is short but also your minded" Yerin was shaking her head 

"Yah! If you're asking me out today just to mocking me. It's better for me to just stay at home and sleep all day" Eunha scold the woman next to her 

"Yeah, sleep all day. Then come to me while complaining about your weight getting increase" Yerin rolled her eyes 

"I never complain about my weight with you!"

"You never but you will"

"Why did you say that??"

"Because I want to" Yerin stick her tongue out 

"Ugh! Why it so hard for you to tell me where are we going? I still have a little sister at home to know about my whereabouts" Eunha whining making Yerin smile 

"Aigoo, I'm just kidding Eunha ah. Ok I'll tell you. We're going to ma-" Yerin words got cut by her phone ringing "Eunha, mind to pick up that call for me?"

"Ouh, ok" Eunha pick up the phone then put it at Yerin ear before that woman hold it by herself,not wanting to troubling the shorter woman 

"Hello? Ouh oppa why you sounds so panic?" Yerin couldn't help but feel scare and also panic hearing her big brother panic tone 

Eunha just listening without interrupt any word

"What?! How can he fell?? I-i'm going home now" Yerin hang up the phone call then turn her car wheel for making a U turn 

"Yerin ah, what's wrong?" Eunha ask when she saw Yerin face was pale

"My dad, he fell from the stairs. Oppa said that he he's injured on his head" Yerin clearly sounds so scare and afraid if there anything happen to her dad 

"Don't worry, he's gonna be alright" Eunha patting her bare thigh 

"Eunha, can you come with me going home and seeing my dad? I don't think I could make it by sending you home" how can Eunha say no to her friend that worry like hell about her dad 

"It's ok, I'll come with you" 

"Thanks for being understanding Eunha. I'm so worry about my dad. Oppa said his head was bleeding" Yerin worried tone still leave unchanged 

"Have they bring him to hospital?" Eunha ask calmly 

"Not yet. Oppa said appa don't wanna go to hospital. Aish, that man is really love making all his child's worried. It's not first time he refuse to go to hospital you know. He'll always find his way for avoiding everyone from sending him to hospital. Why it so hard for him to listen to me and my siblings words?" Eunha can just caressing Yerin arm gently. Not knowing what to do to ease Yerin worries 

This side of Yerin really make Eunha feel touch. Even though she's nagging about her dad stubbornness but she did it in concern that clearly can be heard from her tone. Whoever who got Yerin as their lover is so lucky because she is so caring person 

"Aish, why did everyone drive so slow today??? What day is today?? Drive Car Slowly Day??" Yerin was being mad but Eunha found it cute especially when she's messingly her hairs 

But Eunha can just hold her laugh because she know that it's not the right time for laughing and keep on calming the person next to her 

 

 

Yerin usually will took about an hour to drive at her parents house in Incheon but today she make it 35 minutes. That's enough to show how much she love her dad more than her life 

"Ok, let's get out" Yerin unbuckled her seat belt before run out from her car heading to the door house with Eunha following her suit 

"Why so quiet?" Eunha ask when nobody answer to Yerin knocking door 

"I don't know. Let's just get in. The door isn't lock" Eunha nodding before following Yerin to get into her house 

Instead of seeing her dad with bleeding head, Yerin was greet with a cake with vanilla icing right on her face. Eunha eyes and mouth wide opens with that sudden attack on Yerin and the happy birthday song from Yerin family answering her shockness 

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Yerin! Happy birthday to you! Yuhooo! Yerin got cake on her face! Our target is on goal!" Heechul hitting his hi five with her other sister Sunny while both of them was laughing so heart 

"Yah!" Yerin who has a cake on her face was shouting unsatisfied 

"Omo, omo. Poor my baby girl. Stop laughing you two, poor your sister" Yerin mom ruffling Yerin hairs and when Yerin was about to hug her mom but her mom say this "Woah,don't hug me with that dirt face. Take this towel and wipe it clean first" her mom handing her a clean towel and it's earning more laughter from Yerin older brother and sister who also hitting their hi five with their mom 

Eunha who just stood there, feeling poor for Yerin. Taking that towel from Yerin hand then wipe her face gently. Earn a soft squealing from Sunny 

"So sweet!" Sunny shaking her big brother body violently, fangirling to Eunha act 

"Aish, get off me!" Heechul push Sunny away make that woman who just 2 years older than Yerin pout 

"Yerin ah" Yerin dad softly called her but the youngest in that family just hang her head down 

"Aigooo, look what have I done. Sweetie, I'm sorry baby" Yerin mom immediately go and get Yerin into her arm after hearing a soft sob from her daughter 

"She's crying? Omo, Yerin ah. Unnie is sorry" Sunny also hugging her crying sister 

Eunha move aside for a bit, giving Yerin family members some space for hugging the youngest one. She suddenly remembered about her own family when her parents still alive

She's taking out her phone before calling Umji for telling her sister about she's being at Incheon and might go home at late night. She doesn't want Umji to wait for her 

After has finished talking to Umji, she's get into Yerin family house back and found Yerin was nagging at both of her older siblings for lying her about their dad 

"Even if you want to celebrate my birthday, you guys shouldn't use appa name or telling me that something bad was happen to him. Don't you know how worried I am just now?" Yerin who sit in between her parents scolding her eldest siblings 

"Geez, fine. We're sorry ok. We promise to not do it again"

"Yes, promise" Sunny said 

"Poor Eunha, because of you two plans she's got involved too. Her sister is waiting for her at home you know"

"How can we know that Eunha is with you" Sunny murmuring 

"It's fine Yerin ah, I don't mind tho. I've told Umji about we're in Incheon now" Eunha feeling poor for Yerin brother and sister, so she decided to interrupt Yerin scolds 

"See, she don't mind about it. Why did you're so noisy about this" now it's Heechul turn to scold his youngest sister 

"Enough, stop arguing. Let's eat and celebrate your birthday now. Your mom cooked every dish that you like today" Yerin dad said, stopping his child's childishness 

"Really eomma?? You cook?? How I miss your cook"

"Yes, I cook it specially for you. Let's eat now" 

"Let's go. Oppa, unnie. Don't eat, all those foods is mine" Yerin said while pulling her parents along 

"We don't care, we still wanna eat it" Heechul fight her word 

"Yah! I know you love food more than everything but it can't be you want to leave Eunha alone here? Ask her to join us!" Sunny said make Yerin grinning before lead Eunha to the dining room 

And that's how Eunha spending her day that also Yerin birthday. She's blame Yerin for not telling her about today, if not she could give something to that taller woman as a present 

 

"Yerin, Eunha. Don't you two want to stay a night? It's getting dark outside and I'm pretty sure that road is slippery. It's kind dangerous for driving" Heechul said, slightly worried about his youngest sister 

"Yea, at least stay here for a night. We miss you so much, I have a lot of things to tell you" Sunny pout 

"I don't mind about it unnie,oppa. But Eunha will be working on tomorrow" Yerin said. She must be lie if she say she didn't miss her brother and sister 

"Heechul, Sunkyu ah. It's fine, Yerin can come again next time. Right Yerin?" Yerin nod to her dad words 

"Ok then, just be careful on your way. Drive slowly" Heechul remind her sister 

"Uhm, actually I can take a leave on tomorrow" Eunha suddenly said 

"So that mean, we can stay?" Yerin ask brightly and becomes more bright when Eunha nodding 

"Really Eunha? Don't it troubling you?" Sunny ask gently 

"Not at all unnie. I'm sure that Yerin must be tired for driving to Seoul tonight and I don't really can drive at night" 

And that's also how Eunha spend her night at Yerin family house. Her families already know Eunha since she's still a kid, so that's why they don't really mind about asking Eunha to sleep at their house 

 

 

Night has turn to midnight and there's no sign that Yerin and her siblings will stop their conversation. Their laughter can be heard till outside their parents house. Not wanting to be an interrupter, Eunha excuse herself to Eunha room first for sleeping 

"Oppa, Unnie. I'm sleepy already, can I sleep now?" Yerin was yawning 

"You're just fine awhile ago. But when Eunha want to sleep, you're sleepy already?" Heechul raising one of his eyebrow 

"Hurm, I smell something fishy here" Sunny copying her eldest brother 

"Yea and it's come from oppa armpit. I'm going now, gotta have long drive on tomorrow. Bye oppa, bye unnie. Good night!" Yerin land a soft kiss on both of her elder siblings cheeks 

"Good night baby girl. Sweet dream" both Sunny and Heechul said 

Yerin was humming softly while taking a step on the stairs and open the door gently, afraid that she'll awake the short woman in there. But instead of seeing a sleeping figure on her queen size bed, her eyes caught a sight of Eunha who stand at the balcony while looking up at the sky

Seeing Eunha soft smile make she's smile too. Suddenly she saw Eunha was really pretty. She's pretty everyday but tonight, it's kinda different. Eunha smiles look more alive and fresh, as if she has found something in her inner that she couldn't treasure these past years 

Eunha was standing there with Sunny pink pyjama. Yerin want to borrow Eunha her own pyjama but since Eunha size more fit with Sunny pyjama, so Eunha took Sunny clothes. Her eyes still didn't leaving the sky that being covered with mist and Yerin still stand there, at her door frame. Just for watching Eunha from afar 

All of sudden the wind softly blowing, bringing a soft and cold atmosphere that can make everyone who feel it having a goose bump. Eunha felt that, she's rubbing her arms for earning some warmth. She forgot to take the blanket with her 

"You should have this with you. So you'll not get cold" Eunha got startled by Yerin sudden voice 

Yerin was covering her small frame with her own blanket and rubbing each side of Eunha arms before move beside Eunha, also staring the same direction as Eunha just now 

"I know that you'll come and take it for me" Yerin was chuckle with Eunha joke 

"But need to aware that I'm not always with you" Yerin pinch Eunha nose that getting red by the coldness 

"What is this? It just a few days ago you told me that you'll always be here for me" Eunha said in her playful sulking tone 

"Aigoo, I'm just kidding bunny. Stop pouting, or I'll bite your cheek because it's look like a bun" hearing that, Eunha immediately stop pouting 

"Hey, I thought that you still want to have a chat with Heechul oppa and Sunkyu unnie" 

"If I'm with them, I might be not be able to see you in this conditions anymore" 

"Huh?" Eunha not knowing what does Yerin mean 

"You're standing here without any thick blanket or cloth, you'll be a snowman"

"That's the mosy ridiculous excuse I've ever heard" Eunha was laughing and Yerin just smile looking at her

"At least you laugh" Eunha stop laughing then reply to Yerin smile with the same kind of smile 

"A lot. Thank you Yerin, for today. Even though it's your birthday but I'm the one who is happy the most" Eunha reaching out for Yerin hands that she put on the rail of that balcony 

"Dont thank me, I'm just doing the thing that I promised you. But celebrating my birthday at here is not my plan.I swear" Yerin gripping Eunha hands with her cold hands 

"It's ok, I don't mind tho. Beside I'm happy because I be able to celebrate your birthday with you today. You should tell me that it was your birthday today, I could prepare a present for you" 

"You should've be knew about it since many years ago" Eunha eyes turn to guilty eyes

Yerin is right, they've befriended for over ten years already and Yerin birthday is the most thing for her to remember. But here Yerin is tried so many ways to make she's happy and smile, suddenly she feel a guiltiness 

"Hey,I'm just kidding. Don't take it too serious" Yerin held up Eunha chin to face her after the shorter woman was looking down 

"I'm a bad friend"

"You're a great person"

"I forgot your birthday"

"You didn't forgot my name"

"I didn't give you any birthday present"

"You're here with me and that's the most precious present for me"

"I love Yuju more than you and Sowon"

"But at least now you love me more than Sowon"

"I never aware about your hurt when I'm always finishing my free times with Yuju" 

"But you're spending your day with me right now"

"I leave without a word"

"You have your own reason and it's an acceptable one" 

"How can you always found the answers for my questions?"

"Because every questions in this world has it answers" 

"Then can you tell me about how to vanishing Yuju from my mind?" Eunha was hoping for Yerin to be able give her the answer because she's indeed need it 

"We can't vanishing someone from our mind but we can replacing it with the new people"

"What about all those memories?"

"Keeping the old memories and create the new one" 

Eunha didn't say a word but burst into the tears, she want to remove Yuju place in her heart and mind but she can't. She want to forget all those memories that they shared together but once again she can't

"Hey, don't crying. I don't want all my efforts in making you smile today just being wasted" Yerin cupping Eunha face then face her 

Just with a short time eye contact, Eunha was throwing herself into Yerin arms. Seeking for a calmness and warmth, thanks God that Yerin managed to give her that 

"Please Yerin. Help me, help me forgetting everything about her. Make me happy and smile again without her. I couldn't take it to feel this hurt anymore. I'm not strong" Eunha was crying so hard and Yerin can just calming her by softly rubbing her back 

Yerin was doubt if she should do what her short friend want her to do. She's afraid that she can't but seeing this fragile state of Eunha, she feel weak and doesn't have any choice but to help her 

"Shh, don't cry princess. I promise that I'll make you forget about everything that related to her. I don't want to see you cry again, it doesn't worthy at all" Eunha was tightening her hug around Yerin waist then burying her face more deeper onto Yerin chest after hearing to Yerin sincere promise 

She hope that she's doing the right thing about accepting Yerin in her fragile state and about forgetting about her very first love. Yuju

Chapter 76: KAYATA BRUH. What a ing rollercoaster. HAHAHAHAHA There’s been more happening in the past 10 chapters than the entire story lmfao I thank author-nim for making this as Sinju friendly as possible so I did not have to sacrifice my phone’s life. I’m sad that this isn’t complete and is in such a precarious situation. It’s not quite a cliff-hanger but its in a position where there’s very clearly many things being set up and Sinju is in even more danger.

Deadass this story has gone from a simple fluffy plot to an actual Korean Drama. Everything is there from the vengeful mother-in-law who hates the main love interest+mom has a huge debilitating illness cliche, the main lead is a rich chaebol heir+looks good in everything+has the height for soft cuddles/spooning love interest+gives piggyback rides, the main love interest who’s poor+super cute & lovable, the other love interest who comes in out of nowhere but falls in love with the other side-lead (Yerin). God this is literally a K-drama.

I’m living for this let me just say. If ya ever come back to this author-nim I would be hella hyped and Ik I’m not alone when I say this.

Chapter 68: I just want to say that I will actually throw my phone away if SinB accepts Jackson’s advances in the next chapter. An advanced warning because if I don’t leave another comment that probably means that my phone has been obliterated. I have faith in Hwang Eunbi as a person and as Yuju’s lover. I have faith in their marriage however it may be contested. If Yuju can say no to her past feelings for Eunha, SinB can say no to Jackson Wang’s face. I swear to God Hwang Eunbi. Remember who you’ve left behind in Korea. Remember Yuju’s love and Arin’s affection for you. Remember your god damned family. Don’t throw away the 3 years you’ve spent together. So help me God.

Sinju is crushing my heart lately. This Apple comeback has been amazing. I came across this story like a dream and its been amazing so far. Ngl. I enjoyed every single second I’ve spent reading this. I’m putting this all out so I won’t have to write whilst in rage that I will probably feel should some things happen. Just remember that the past 68 chapters have been amazing and I loved them all. Wish me luck for the next few chapters.
