CHAPTER 28

 

Jongwoon was sitting on the bed while watching his wife sleeps peacefully. He her silky long hair and touches her face. He grabs the telephone and calls Heechul

 

“Yeoboseo”

 

“Mama, it’s me Jongwoon”

 

Jongwoon talks on a soft volume avoiding waking his sleeping wife.

 

“What’s wrong with you? Why are you whispering?”

 

“Mama, Wookie and I just have our first night”

 

“OMO”

 

Heechul giggles over the phone

 

“Your advices are really effective”

 

“I told you to seduce my Li xu and she’ll give in”

 

Jongwoon laugh softly

 

“I’ll tell it to Teukie; I’m sure she’ll be happy too. We’ll see you and Li xu later; have lunch with us, arasso?”

 

“Ok, we’ll meet you after my schedules. Three in the afternoon”

 

“Ok”

 

“See you later mama”

 

Jongwoon hangs up. He turns around and found Ryeowook staring at him

 

“Mianhae, did I wake you babe?”

 

Ryeowook shook her head

 

“Who’s on the phone?”

 

“It’s mama asking about you, I told her that you’re still sleeping. She invites us to have lunch with her and Umma. I told her that we’re coming after my schedules today”

 

Ryeowook look at his bare chest, her eyes widened remembering what happen yesterday night. Ryeowook immediately pulls the blanket and cover her face as she blushes hard

 

“Babe, what’s wrong with you?”

 

Jongwoon pulls the blanket, but Ryeowook won’t let it go

 

“I’m so shy”

 

“Shy?”

 

Ryeowook take the blanket away from her face and look at Jongwoon still blushing hard, Jongwoon moves towards her but Ryeowook moves away

 

“Yah! Don’t come near me”

 

She pulls the blanket and wraps it carefully on her body, Jongwoon smile teasingly

 

“Babe, you don’t need to hide your body from me. I already saw it and have a complete view of it yesterday night, from your head down to your”

 

Jongwoon smile as he look at Ryeowook’s lower part

 

“Down to my what?”

 

“Toe nails?”

 

Jongwoon crawl towards her and start tickling her

 

“Hubby”

 

“Yes babe?”

 

“Stop it please”

 

Jongwoon obeys her like a child. Ryeowook wrap her hands on his neck, his hair gently. Jongwoon kissed her lips

 

“Are you feeling ok babe?”

 

Ryeowook shook her head

 

“My body is actually aching…a bit”

 

“Is it because of me?”

 

Ryeowook nod

 

“Yes, you make it hard for me yesterday night”

 

“Mianhae babe, but it’s your fault”

 

Ryeowook frown

 

“My Fault? You told me that you’ll be gentle, but you didn’t”

 

“Because you keep me waiting for a very long time, that’s why I got excited and forget to be gentle”

 

Ryeowook smile and pull him closer to her, and give him a long sweet kiss

 

“Now let’s continue our business and have our first morning”

 

“Hubby, is there such thing as that?”

 

“Yes babe, and it will happen now”

 

Jongwoon kisses her lips

 

“You still have work”

 

“I can cancel my schedules for you”

 

Ryeowook giggles when Jongwoon start kissing her shoulders. Jongwoon lift his head and look at her

 

“Let’s do it inside the bathroom, it will be more romantic”

 

Ryeowook smile and manage to push him and jump off the bed and run

 

“Try catching me first”

 

“Kim Ryeowook, don’t you dare lock the door or you’ll regret it”

 

Ryeowook run towards the bathroom as Jongwoon chase her. She manages to close the door and locked it just in time, before Jongwoon can catch her.

 

“Babe, please open the door don’t be unfair, be a good girl”

 

“I’ll take a bath first and when I’m done you go next”

 

“Let’s take a bath together”

 

Ryeowook shook her head while smiling

 

“No”

 

“Fine, but be carefull because I saw a cockroach flying around the shower awhile ago”

 

Jongwoon smile and start counting

 

“1…2…3…Gotcha!”

 

Ryeowook came out of the bathroom and throw her arms around him

 

“Jongwoon, please kill the cockroach”

 

Jongwoon hold her hands and drag her inside and carefully close the door. Ryeowook hold on to his hand tight

 

“Babe there’s no cockroach. I’m just kidding”

 

Jongwoon smile at her

 

“Yah!”

 

Jongwoon stare at her teary eyes

 

“I love you babe”

 

Ryeowook look at him and smile

 

“Since I win, we’re going to continue”

 

“Are you not tired? You still have work today”

 

“I always have energy for you and don’t worry about my schedules, I can cancel it for you”

 

“But I’m not ask—“

 

Jongwoon didn’t let her finish her words; he kissed her and opens the shower

 

“It’s so cold hubby”

 

“I’ll make it hot for you”

 

Jongwoon whisper; he pushed Ryeowook on the wall and kissed her passionately. He her neck making her gasp as she his hair. Jongwoon kissed her body, the water keeps pouring on their bodies; Ryeowook had her head back, her hands on his shoulders touching it softly. She kissed Jongwoon’s neck, then across his shoulder down to his chest. Ryeowook went lower and lower, her hands on his buttocks. Jongwoon gasp when Ryeowook closed over him, he buried his hands on her wet hair as he moans in pleasure. Jongwoon pulled her up and slammed her on the slick wall and whisper to her neck

 

“I didn’t know that you can be naughty sometimes”

 

Ryeowook kisses his lips

 

“Even a twelve year old kid can be naughty”

 

Ryeowook smile seductively, Jongwoon pulls her legs on his waist and rammed into her. Ryeowook hold on to his passion, fastening herself to him as Jongwoon’s mouth took hers, his tongue ing just as his body did. When the final moment came, Ryeowook almost scream But Jongwoon lock his lips upon her. She clung to him while trembling, her body limp; Jongwoon holds her tight

 

“Let’s take a bath now”

 

Jongwoon told her, Ryeowook leans her body against him while panting hard

 

“Yah! Do…you really…have a lot of…of…of energy?”

 

“I always have energy for you babe”

 

Jongwoon kissed her before carrying her on his arms and laid her on the bathtub. He opens the faucet, warm water starts beating on her body

 

“This will make you feel better”

 

Jongwoon pours the milk bath on the water and joins his wife as they take their bath together

 

 

 

 

 

Ryeowook was standing in front of the mirror checking herself; Jongwoon stands behind her holding her waist.

 

“We need to go now babe”

 

Ryeowook sigh

 

“Do I really need to come with you?”

 

Jongwoon nod happily

 

“Of course”

 

“But”

 

Jongwoon pouts, Ryeowook turn around to face him. Jongwoon wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him. Ryeowook looks at him, wrapping her arms on his neck; she tip toed to reach Jongwoon’s face and brushes her nose on his nose

 

“Why are you so tall? I’m already wearing heels, but I still can’t reach you”

 

Jongwoon carries her

 

“Much better”

 

Ryeowook smile while touching his lips

 

“Hubby, it’s not that I don’t want to come with you, I might just disturb you on your work”

 

“Of course not”

 

“And I’m going to see your horrible manager who always clings around with you”

 

“You’re just jealous”

 

“So what if I’m jealous? I have the right you know”

 

Jongwoon smile

 

“I’m not denying that right babe. I have a press conference today and I want you to be there, and some of my colleagues want to meet you because they didn’t have the chance to attend our wedding because of their schedules”

 

“Then let’s just throw a party here”

 

“Babe, please”

 

“Fine, you win”

 

Ryeowook smile; Jongwoon kissed her, Ryeowook laugh softly while staring at his lips

 

“You’ve got lipstick on your lips because you kissed me”

 

“How sweet”

 

Jongwoon put her down. She grabs the box of tissue and hand it to him. Jongwoon look at the mirror while wiping his lips, his phone suddenly rings

 

“Yes”

 

He can hear Taeyeon screaming

 

“Jongwoon, where the hell are you?”

 

“I’m home”

 

“You have a lot of schedules to finish today, so please start moving and get yourself here! NOW!”

 

Taeyeon hangs up, Jongwoon look at his phone then to Ryeowook

 

“Let’s go, Taeyeon is already screaming at the top of her lungs”

 

 

 

 

 

Ryeowook was sitting quiety inside Jongwoon’s dressing room, he leaves her there because he needs to talk and deal with lots of fashion designers and gets ready for his press conference. She grabs her book of piano pieces and her pencil and start analyzing some pieces while sitting in an Indian sit position. She was busy analyzing the piece when someone came in to look for Jongwoon. He stares at Ryeowook and was astonished by her beauty.

 

“Excuse me”

 

Ryeowook looks at the owner of the voice and smiles at him. He keeps his eyes on her as he walks towards her.

 

“Hi, I’m looking for Jongwoon Hyung”

 

“Oh, he just goes out awhile ago to talk with some of the fashion designers”

 

“I see, are you by any chance his wife?”

 

Ryeowook nod

 

“I’m Changmin, one of Hyung’s colleague and friend. I didn’t had the chance to attend your wedding because I’m in Tokyo at that time, doing some show”

 

Ryeowook smile and shake his hand

 

“It’s alright, by the way nice meeting you. I’m Ryeowook...Kim, Ryeowook”

 

“Younho Hyung is right, you’re really beautiful”

 

Ryeowook smiles sweetly

 

“Thanks”

 

“I’ll go now”

 

“I’ll just tell my husband that you’re looking for him”

 

“Thanks”

 

Changmin smile and leave. Ryeowook looks at the piece that she’s analyzing and sigh. She returns it in her Louis Vuitton bag, and grabs Jongwoon’s Iphone inside and start playing Fruitty Ninja

 

“Aish! Why do I keep on hitting that stupid bomb? Aish!”

 

 Taeyeon came inside and stare at her

 

“What are you doing here stupid kid?”

 

Ryeowook looks at her

 

“My husband drags me along, why?”

 

Taeyeon walks towards her

 

“Your face is so annoying and makes my day completely ruin”

 

“To be honest Ms. Kim, I really want to puke everytime that I see your ugly face”

 

Taeyeon slaps her

 

“Who do you think you are?”

 

Ryeowook looks at her and raise her eyebrow

 

“I’m Kim Ryeowook, the famous billion dollar Princess, daughter of Han HanKyung, the well known CEO and the owner of one of the famous corporation in Seoul, which happens to be the Han Corporation and he is the Ambassador of China. My mother is the ever beautiful Peace Ambassador Kim Heechul; I’m the daughter in law of the second richest women in Korea at the Forbes Magazine. and my father in law is the top chemist in Seoul. I am the sister of Han Sungmin, the well known journalist, my brother in law Cho Kyuhyun is one of the biggest name in business industry, and I am the best friend of Kim Kibum which happens to be on top of the class and consider one of the best cellist, and to become the future lead cellist of the London Symphony Orchestra, and last but not the least I am the wife of the famous superstar Kim Jongwoon. How about you, who do you think you are?”

 

“Aish”

 

Taeyeon walks away and left her alone. Ryeowook smile and whisper

 

“You just have to tell me that you’re a who keeps on clinging on my husband”

 

Jongwoon’s phone rings, Ryeowook stare on it; it was Jessica, she just places it on the sofa and continues working on her analysis. Jongwoon came with some of his colleagues and introduce Ryeowook to them. They chat for awhile before leaving, Jongwoon smiles at her

 

“They think that I’m so lucky to have a very beautiful wife like you”

 

Ryeowook smile

 

“By the way did you happen to see Changmin?”

 

“You know him?”

 

She shook her head

 

“I just met him awhile ago, he come in looking for you”

 

“Maybe he’ll just ask about our new TV program, I’ll just call him later”

 

Ryeowook walk towards the sofa and grab his cellphone and hand it to him

 

“Speaking of phone call, Jessica keeps on calling you”

 

Jongwoon look at her and calls Jessica

 

“Jongwoon”

 

“Why did you call?”

 

“I miss you so much, can we see each other?”

 

“I’m busy right now”

 

“Please, I need you in my life. Why do you keep on pushing me away? You’ve changed and you don’t love me anymore”

 

“Jessica please”

 

“Jongwoon I’m begging you, I love you so much, please let’s see each other. I can’t live my life without seeing you”

 

Jongwoon stare at Ryeowook then turn his eyes away from her. He start speaking English while talking to Jessica

 

“I can’t go out with you today”

 

“Why?”

 

“I told you I’m busy”

 

“You’re just busy with your childish wife”

 

“Jessica it’s not like that. You have to understand that I’m busy working and I have a lot of schedules everyday. Taeyeon keeps on nagging me to finish all of it, and you need to accept the fact that I already have a wife”

 

“It’s just a joke”

 

“Of course not”

 

“Sweetheart, I’m going to kill myself if you’re not going to visit me now”

 

“I need to have lunch with my mom and mother in law, so not today”

 

“After that lunch, I’m going to wait for you”

 

“Arasso”

 

Jongwoon hangs up and put his cellphone inside his pocket and look at Ryeowook who is staring at him blankly

 

“Babe, I’m sorry but I can’t come to our lunch with out mothers”

 

“Why?”

 

Ryeowook asked him pretending that she don’t know the reason, she knew exactly that Jongwoon can’t come with her because of Jessica.

 

“I have very important things to do, just tell mama and Umma that I can’t come because I need to do something”

 

Ryeowook control her tears from falling as she feels pain and at same time anger inside her. She wants to slap her playboy husband and runaway from him. She wants to hide and cry; she felt betrayed because Jongwoon will break his promise to her again. Ryeowook smile brightly, but beneath those smile is the pain that she’s hiding from Jongwoon; the pain of pretending that her husband is not fooling around and cheating on her.

 

“My press conference will start within five minutes, let’s go?”

 

Jongwoon holds her hand; Ryeowook stare at him

 

“Can I just stay here? I suddenly felt dizzy”

 

Ryeowook excused herself

 

“Babe, are you ok?”

 

“No…I mean yes”

 

“Sure?”

 

Ryeowook nods

 

“I think, I’m still tired because of yesterday night. I’ll just stay here and wait for you, can I?”

 

“Ok”

 

Jongwoon kissed her before leaving. Ryeowook throws herself on the sofa and stare on the ceiling blankly, tears slowly fall from her eyes

 

 

 

 

Ryeowook came in Seoul Café House to meet Heechul and Teukie who are already waiting for them

 

“Li xu, what happen to you? As if someone robs you a billion dollars because of the look on your face”

 

Ryeowook sit and try to smile

 

“Where is Jongwoon?”

 

“He can’t come Umma; he still has something to do”

 

“I see, and then who drops you here?”

 

“His driver”

 

Teukie stares at Ryeowook sadly, then to Heechul who shook her head, still wondering what’s wrong with her daughter. Teukie orders their food but Ryeowook just stare on them as tears form in her eyes. Teukie moves closer to Heechul and talk on a soft volume.

 

“What’s wrong with our baby?”

 

Heechul shook her head

 

“I don’t know, she just came here like that”

 

“Go asked her”

 

Heechul nod and looks at her daughter

 

“Li xu honey, what’s wrong? Mama is really worried about you”

 

Ryeowook remains quiet, still staring on her food

 

“Teukie, she don’t want to talk”

 

“OMO, this is bad”

 

“Maybe she hates the food”

 

“You think so?”

 

“You asked her”

 

Teukie take a deep breath and hold Ryeowook’s hands

 

“Baby, you don’t like the food? Shall I call the waiter and let’s order again? What do you want to eat?”

 

Ryeowook didn’t answer. Teukie looks at Heechul

 

“OMO, what’s wrong with our baby?”

 

“Maybe, she’s craving for something”

 

“But she doesn’t want to talk, so how will we know?”

 

Heechul’s eyes widened

 

“Don’t tell me Li xu is pregnant?”

 

“What? She’s pregnant?”

 

“Shhh, don’t be so loud she will hear us”

 

Unfortunately Ryeowook over heard them talking about her being pregnant. She looks at them and shook her head.

 

“I’m not pregnant”

 

Heechul stares at Teukie who covers , making a peace sign on her. Ryeowook sigh and drink her milk tea before talking

 

“I’m just tired”

 

Heechul smile devilishly

 

“Tired because of your first night with Jongwoon? So how was it honey?”

 

“Mama how can y—“

 

Heechul reach for her and covers and smile at the people looking on their direction

 

“Don’t shout, people are staring you know”

 

Ryeowook pushes he mother’s hand away from

 

“I’m tired because I’m tired, and you don’t need to ask my…my life with my husband, it’s between the two of us”

 

“Fine, don’t get mad you’re so sensitive”

 

Heechul grabs her mango crepe and just eat. Teukie smiles at her daughter in law and hold her hands

 

“Baby, you need to come with us next week”

 

“Where are we going Umma?”

 

“To your OB”

 

“Why?”

 

“For your check-up, so that we know if you’re already pregnant or you and Jongwoon should try again”

 

“But Umma I am not pregnant”

 

Teukie shook her head

 

“As of now, don’t be scared, the doctor will just examine you so we’ll know if you’re pregnant, right Chullie dear?”

 

Heechul nods while eating happily. Ryeowook smile weakly as she feels the pressure; of course she’s not scared of the pregnancy test or whatever the doctor will do to her, she’s afraid of the result, she knew that it is negative and her mother in law as well as her mom will just be disappointed to her, and of course don’t forget Jongwoon.

 

“You should eat now baby or would you like to have another food?”

 

Ryeowook shook her head. She stares at the food for a moment still thinking about Jongwoon and Jessica. She tries her best to erase all the negative thoughts that she’s thinking, but she just can’t get them off her mind. Maybe he’s having a good time with her, Ryeowook thought. She grabs her fork and sighs. She doesn’t feel like eating, she just wants to go home and locked herself inside the room, so she can cry her heart out. Ryeowook take a bite and start eating, still thinking about Jongwoon

 

 

 

 

 

Jongwoon’s driver drops Ryeowook at the condominium; she went straight at the bathroom; she takes off her clothes and lay on a warm water on the bath tub. She reaches for the lavender oil and pours it on the water to calm her. She wants to relax after a long tiring day with Heechul and Teukie. Ryeowook close her eyes and try to clear her mind, but she keeps on thinking about Jongwoon. She’s all alone at their house while he’s with his girl.

 

 

 

Ryeowook came out of the bathroom wearing her night gown. She looks at her phone, there’s no text message neither a single call from Jongwoon. She presses his number but too bad he’s not answering her call. Ryeowook throws her phone on the bed and walks towards the window, she stares outside blankly. Ryeowook sigh and look at the clock, it’s already eleven in the evening. Ryeowook sit on the bed and turn the TV on. Someone opens the door and it was Jongwoon

 

“Why are you still up?”

 

Ryeowook didn’t answer

 

“What happen awhile ago? Did Mama and Umma look for me?”

 

Ryeowook ignores him. Jongwoon walks towards her and was about to kissed her, but Ryeowook moves away. She looks at him with teary eyes.

 

“Don’t look at me like that”

 

“Where have you been?”

 

Ryeowook tries her best to sound normal, her voice trembles as she control her tears from falling

 

“Babe don’t start it, I’m tired”

 

“I’m asking you where you have been”

 

Jongwoon turn his back away

 

“Yah! Why don’t y—“

 

“JESSICA AND I MET”

 

Jongwoon raises his voice, losing her temper

 

“Why do you keep on going out with that ?”

 

Jongwoon walks towards her and grab her arm pulling her away from the bed, he tighten his grip on her

 

“Let me go, it hurts!”

 

“I told you not to call her that!!!”

 

“But she’s really a ! I can’t understand why you chose to be with her while I stay late at night waiting for you”

 

Jongwoon tighten his grip releasing his anger towards her

 

“Damn it! Nobody told you to wait for me! You’re just a stupid girl for trying to wait”

 

Ryeowook’s tears fall down while she stares at Jongwoon

 

“Because you don’t even care at all; I’m waiting for you like a crazy woman worrying so much about you because you didn’t even call and answer my call. I try to fool myself that you’re not with her, though I know hundred perecent that you’re having fun with that ”

 

“I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL HER !”

 

Jongwoon keeps on tightening his grip; Ryeowook feels the pain on the grip

 

“I’m getting sick of you, nagging everytime that I’m with her. You’re just my wife and that’s all! You don’t meddle with my business!”

 

Ryeowook felt pain in her heart, it is as if someone stubs her so hard

 

“Wo hen ni”

 

“SHUT UP ALIEN!”

 

“Just say all you want to say, I can bare all of it, just stop hurting me”

 

Ryeowook sobs so hard

 

“Please let me go, stop hurting me Jongwoon…please”

 

Jongwoon let go of her arm, Ryeowook runs outside and locked herself on the guest’s room. Jongwoon keeps on knocking

 

“Babe, please open the door, let’s talk about it. I’m so sorry”

 

“Go away, I don’t want to talk to you. I hate you”

 

“Babe, please open the door”

 

“No”

 

“I love you”

 

“You don’t love me”

 

“That’s not true, of course I love you”

 

“If you love me, you will not do this to me and you will never hurt me like this. Jongwoon it hurts me so bad, but you don’t even care and you don’t even want to care, because I’m just your wife…just your wife”

 

Ryeowook throws herself on the bed as she cries so hard, ignoring Jongwoon who keeps on knocking. Ryeowook burries her face on the pillow

 

“Mama…Ba ba it hurts me so bad. Mama, ba ba please fetch me here, I don’t want to stay here anymore”

 

Ryeowook whispers as she cries so hard
