CHAPTER 40

 

Ryeowook was currently staying at their house because Hankyung wants her to stay there for the meantime because Jongwoon left their house and stay with his parents

 

“Ba ba, I want to stay at the condominium”

 

Hankyung sit on the sofa and stare at his daughter seriously

 

“I told you that you will stay here”

 

“I want to go back to my house”

 

“Li xu you need to follow me. You’re all alone there because your arrogant husband left and currently staying at their house. You need to be here until he fetches you”

 

Ryeowook’s tears start forming in her eyes

 

“But Jongwoon is my husband and we need to talk”

 

“He left you Li xu; do you think he’s ready to talk to you right now? Just give each other space for the meantime, so you guys can think”

 

“I’m going to their house and talk to him”

 

Hankyung stand and walk towards her

 

“Han Ryeowook! I’m already losing my temper to you. If you don’t follow, I’m really going to send you in Beijing so you won’t see your husband anymore”

 

Heechul hold Hankyung’s arm

 

“Honey, just let your daughter rest for awhile”

 

Hankyung look at Heechul

 

“Shut up Heechul”

 

Heechul bows her head and sit beside Mimi who is holding a newspaper

 

“Go upstairs and we will talk”

 

Hankyung told Ryeowook, but she just ignores her father

 

“I’m going to Jongwoon”

 

“Li xu, I told you to go to your room now!”

 

Hankyung raised his voice

 

“I don’t want ba ba, I want to go to Jongwoon!”

 

“Little princess, do you understand what are you talking about? You’re disobeying me and I’m already mad”

 

Ryeowook start crying, Heechul was about to walk towards her, but Mimi stops her

 

“Mama”

 

Mimi shook her head

 

“Just let your daughter fight for what she believe is right so she’ll grow”

 

“But”

 

“Shhh, just stay there”

 

Ryeowook look at her father, tears keep on falling from her eyes

 

“I’m going to fetch Jongwoon”

 

“No! You’re not going back until he fetches you here”

 

“I’m going ba ba, he is my husband. Why can’t you understand?

 

Hankyung takes a deep breath, controlling his anger on his daughter

 

“You’re the one who can’t understand! Li xu, Jongwoon is already taking you for granted. He doesn’t even appreciate you and he’s hurting you too badly, so stop chasing him. Let him feel your importance while you are away from each other. Let him chase you just for once. It hurts me so badly seeing you like that, I love you so much Li xu, as a father it hurts me so much seeing someone hurting my little princess. Your mama and I take care of you for a long period of time, then all of a sudden someone will just make you cry and hurt you like that”

 

“I love him Ba ba”

 

Ryeowook start to sob hard

 

“I know, but do you think Jongwoon really loves you?”

 

Ryeowook stares at her father

 

“I know that he loves me and I can feel it”

 

“He left you”

 

Ryeowook shook her head

 

“I don’t care”

 

“He’s hurting you so bad”

 

Ryeowook shook her head again

 

“I don’t care”

 

Hankyung hold her face

 

“Jongwoon is already hurting you, but you don’t even care? If you don’t care then we care, so please stop hurting yourself and let him do everything to bring you back”

 

“Why are you doing this to me ba ba?”

 

“This is for your own good”

 

“Wo hen ni!”

 

Ryeowook run upstairs, Hankyung was about to follow her, but Mimi stops him. Sungmin look at Kyuhyun with teary eyes

 

“This is your entire cousin’s fault”

 

Kyuhyun didn’t speak; he just bows his head and follows Sungmin upstairs. Hankyung sit on the sofa and sigh while holding his forehead

 

“My head is aching because of them”

 

Mimi looks at them and put the newspaper that she was holding on the table

 

“News really spread so fast”

 

Hankyung stare at the newspaper with wide eyes open

 

“I can’t believe that the press can make such an issue like this”

 

Hankyung grabs the newspaper and read it

 

 

 

SUPERSTAR KIM, JONGWOON AND THE WELL KNOWN BILLION DOLLAR PRINCESS HAN RYEOWOOK, ARE OVER?

 

December 25, Christmas day in Seoul, South Korea, the very popular TV personality Kim Jongwoon celebrated Christmas with his wife Han Ryeowook together with their families at Seoul Palace, own by Jongwoon’s mother, Korea’s Ambassador, Park Jungsoo. According to the crowd who witness the scene, Jongwoon went outside while his wife and their families are chasing him. His father, Kim Youngwoon starts hitting him. According to them Jongwoon had a fight with his wife resulting him to run away, but Ms. Han try to stop him from leaving, causing a big chaos. There are rumors that the couple is over but both parties are not giving their sides and remain to be quiet, making the media curious about their current status. If the rumor is true that the couple is already over, many girls will throw a party and celebrate Jongwoon’s freedom and being single again

 

 

 

Hankyung cramples the newspaper and throw it on the floor

 

“Aish! I want to kill the one who wrote that stupid news. This is the thing that I am afraid of, Li xu is getting exposed in the public and the worse thing is, it seems that it’s all her fault that’s why Jongwoon and her fight”

 

Heechul look at Mimi

 

“Mama, what shall we do? This news can’t spread; Li xu is in trouble if that’s the case. I can’t believe that the media will only favor Jongwoon’s side. They didn’t know what really happen, stupid media”

 

Mimi sigh

 

“Don’t let Li xu went out without bodyguards. Kangin calls me awhile ago, apologizing for this news and he told me that media are everywhere, waiting for the couple to go out so they can chase them. Nobody will speak and I told Kangin about it, we will remain quiet until the news die”

 

“Yes Mama”

 

“I’ll just send Li xu in Beijing, let her go with you when you left on the 30^th”

 

Mimi looks at her son

 

“You can’t do that Hannie”

 

Hankyung look at his mother

 

“Why? It will be better if she’ll be separated with that bastard son in law of mine. I really don’t care if he is the son of my best friend”

 

“You’re just going to make the situation even worse if you try to separate them from each other”

 

“But mama, Li xu is the hot topic now because of that incident and Jongwoon doesn’t even care at all. How can I let her be with him again if he’s an irresponsible husband? He doesn’t even care about his wife and he is the one bringing Li xu in trouble. Mama, Li xu is just nineteen years old to handle a chaotic situation like this”

 

Mimi raised her eyebrow

 

“Do not give me stupid reason son”

 

Hankyung sigh

 

“It’s not stupid. Mama, Li xu is only nineteen years old”

 

Mimi nod

 

“I know, but did you ever think about her being eighteen years old during the time when you decided to let her marry a twenty five years old man who happens to be a playboy and a superstar? You just decide without thinking if Li xu will be fine, if this fix marriage will work just exactly what the four of you are thinking. So don’t give me the reason that she’s just nineteen years old”

 

Hankyung and Heechul look at each other

 

“Mama, I marry Heechul when she’s just eighteen years old, but our relationship is strong unlike them”

 

“You’re really stupid son”

 

“I’m not stupid”

 

Mimi stares at him seriously

 

“Yes you are! Don’t you compare your situation with them; Yes, Chullie is just eighteen when you marry her, but you both love each other compare to Li xu and Jongwoon who didn’t even know each other and didn’t even love each other on the first place”

 

“Then what are you trying to tell me Mama?”

 

“What I’m trying to say is, do not meddle on their problems. Li xu is old enough for her to decide what she wants, she even fight with you just to get what she wants and that is Jongwoon. Don’t try to stop her from doing what she believe is right. The moment that she marries Jongwoon, she’s already stepping out of this house and away from your care. Let her stand on her own feet and let them fix their problems”

 

“It hurts me seeing my daughter like that”

 

Mimi sighs and stares at them sadly

 

“I know and every parent doesn’t want their children to suffer. It also hurts me seeing them fighting like that, but that is their life and we are out of it. This is your daughter’s life and it’s time for you to let her go on her own and solve every problem. We’re just here to guide them, but we don’t need to interrupt in their business. This is their problem and they will never solve it if we will keep on meddling with them and you’ll just make the situation much worse if you will send her in Beijing, and will restrict Jongwoon to see her. You’ll just make them divorce in an instant”

 

Hankyung take a deep breath

 

“Then what shall we do?”

 

“Let her go and talk to Jongwoon, this is a simple problem that became big and worse because they fail to understand and listen to each other. Let them talk and solve it together, so instead of hiding her away from her husband, think of a solution to help Li xu solve this problem. Let her follow what her heart desires and let the couple talk. We don’t need to blame anyone. Jongwoon has a mistake and at the same time Li xu also has a mistake and they need to realize that”

 

“I don’t know Mama”

 

Mimi cupped her son’s face

 

“Hannie, I never meddle between you and Chullie whenever you’re having a fight. Ever since you marry each other, I never meddle with your life because it’s your own life now and you’re the one who will make it work; I just give advice whenever you ask for it, but I never meddle between you and Chullie so you need to do the same thing with Li xu. Let her work on her married life. It’s her life with Jongwoon and she is stepping away from you, Li xu is not young anymore”

 

“What if they decided to break up?”

 

Mimi frowns at him

 

“Then why are you going to encourage them to break up? Now, if that’s the case, that’s the time that we need to meddle around and try to save their relationship, but if they really insist that they need to separate, then let it be. It’s their decision and it’s their life, but I know that Jongwoon will be back for Li xu. He maybe an arrogant and playboy, but I’m sure that he really loves Li xu and he’ll be back for her”

 

“I hope so”

 

Hankyung sigh

 

 

 

 

*KIM’S RESIDENCE*

 

 

Kangin went at Jongwoon’s room with Teukie. He looks at his son seriously and throws the newspapaer in front of him

 

“Do you realize the chaos that you bring?”

 

“It’s none of your business Kim Youngwoon”

 

Kangin’s eyes widened

 

“WHAT?”

 

Teukie hold Kangin’s hand before he can hit his son

 

“Kangin, please don’t start it”

 

“This boy was the one starting it. I really don’t understand why I ever had an arrogant son like you? You’re really a shame!”

 

Jongwoon stand and look at his father

 

“Because you never appreciate me”

 

“How can I appreciate you if you always bring head ache?”

 

Teukie was trying to stop them from fighting

 

“Kangin, please”

 

Kangin stares at her seriously

 

“Shut up Teukie, he wants to have a fight with me then let him do that. This boy really thinks that he is superior than his father”

 

Kangin stare at his son

 

“I’m not Kibum who always obeys you”

 

“Because you are a shame”

 

“I’m always a shame in front of you and you always think I never respect you”

 

“That’s the truth”

 

“Because I didn’t listen to you on what you want me to become. Honestly Appa, when will you stop giving me too much pressure? This is what I want, but you always think that I am a shame and will always bring trouble”

 

“Because that’s what you’re doing”

 

“Because you never appreciate me, that’s why I keep on opposing you”

 

“Damn you!”

 

Jongwoon smirk

 

“Thank you Appa”

 

Jongwoon went out of his room; Teukie look at her husband

 

“Kangin, I’m really losing my temper to you”

 

“Go ahead and be on his side”

 

“I’m not favoring your son, but can you please stop being a jerk?”

 

“I’m not a jerk!”

 

Teukie’s tears start falling

 

“That’s enough, you’re hurting your son too much, but you don’t care. Just hurt me as much as you want, just stop hurting your son like that. I can’t bear seeing you always fighting whenever you see ach other”

 

“He is arrogant”

 

“But he is still your son no matter what happens and you should accept that and try to change him”

 

Teukie went out leaving Kangin alone
