[AT AN EARLIER TIME, LANDMARK]

 

"Is the food good, noona?"  Jiyong smiled.

"Uh-huh! I love it."  Jeka responded, giggling.

 

"Do you love it more than me?"  Jiyong pouted.  Jeka 

stared at him and nodded playfully.  Jiyong stopped 

eating and pouted even more.  Jeka laughed hard and 

patted his cheeks.

 

"You are so cute, JI!"  she said and Jiyong smiled.  He 

noticed that there is a stain in Jeka's lips.  He wiped it 

gently with his fingers followed by the tissue.

 

"You're so messy!"  Jiyong joked and Jeka just smiled.

 

"Thanks, Jiyong.  For taking care of me."  the girl smiled 

genuinely.  Jiyong smiled and grabbed her hand and 

kissed it. 

 

"Pleasure is all mine, Princess."  Jiyong said and Jeka 

giggled.  The two still talked and laughed with their jokes 

and stories.  After an hour, the couple decided to leave.

 

"Where do you want to go next?"  Jiyong asked.

"Hmm... can we go to the mall?  I need to go to the 

bookstore, I am going to buy something."  Jeka 

responded.

 

"Surely, let's go!"  

 

The couple left the Landmark with hands held tight.

[FATIMA'S POV]

 

[FLASHBACK, MAY 23, 2013 MORNING]

 

Jeka unnie just left the house so now I am alone.

I am so sad, however, I already stopped crying.  I believe 

I've lost everything last night already.  I tried to think of 

something to do and I've decided to contact my friends 

from the Philippines and let them know the situation.

I opened my facebook and created a group chat.   I 

informed everyone that Youngbae and Jiyong are here.  I 

let them know that the situation is not too good but also 

assured them that everything is fine.

Even though it's not.

I slept after the message has been sent.

[FLASHBACK, MAY 23, 2013 NIGHT]

I just remembered that earlier today I was really 

disappointed and sad but right now I am feeling the 

opposite.  Youngbae and I are on our way to my house.  

We are inside the cab and I lay my head on his chest, eyes 

closed, and hands linked together.  It seems weird that 

feeling his heartbeat and breathing makes me feel 

complete already.  So cheesy, right?  But that's how I feel.  

However, I can't erase the fact that I am nervous.  He is 

about to meet my Mom, who never really disapproved 

any of my choices.  She just gives me advices that will be 

helpful, and of course, if it doesn't work out, she will take 

care of me too.

A few minutes later, we already arrived at our house.  We 

stepped out and when I'm just about to knock on the 

door...

 

"Wait~"  Youngbae stopped me.  I looked at him and he let 

out a deep breathe.

"What's wrong?"  I asked.

 

"Do I look OK?"  he said and I looked at him.

 

"You look good and fine, I guess, why?"  my eyebrows 

furrowed.

 

"Nothing... it's just that... I am nervous."  he held my hand 

and looked at me in the eyes.  I let out a small laugh and 

stared at him.

"You are wonderful, though I have to admit that I am 

nervous as well.  It's not just me who's traumatized by 

what happened between me and my ex, but also her.  In 

fact, she was more hurt.  She may be stricter now, but I 

can assure you that she likes you."  I said and he showed 

me his signature eye smile. 

"Really?"  he smiled further and I nodded.

 

"Alright then."  he said and he knocked on the door twice.  

It opened and my Mom was there.

 

"You're here.  That was fast."  she gestured for us to come 

in and I hugged and kissed her cheeks before going inside, 

Youngbae following behind.

 

"Yes, Mom.  There is no traffic.  Uhm, by the way, this is 

Youngbae.   Youngbae, my Mom, her name is Fe."  I 

introduced the two.

 

"It's nice to meet you again, Aunt Fe."  he was about to 

shake my Mom's hand but Mom enveloped him in a hug 

instead, which shocked me and him.

 

"My pleasure, son."  she said after releasing him from the 

hug.

Wait, did I hear it right?  Son?

 

~~~~~

 

SON.

 

The love of my life's mom just called me, son.

 

I was just smiling and I can't even put my happiness in 

words.

 

"Cat got your tongue, eh?  Come on you cutie, let's have 

dinner, it's just waiting for the two of you."   Aunt Fe 

muttered and gestured for us to go to the dining room.  

Fatima linked her arms on me and whispered;

 

"I am so sorry about my Mom, she gets too excited at 

times."

"I am fine with that, I like her.  I was just too shocked 

with what she called me.  Now I believe you that she 

really likes me."  I winked at her and kissed her forehead.   

We sat down  while Aunt Fe takes the turkey from the 

oven.

There are a lot of food on the table, looks like a family of 

ten is going to eat.

"Mom, why did you cook a lot?"  Fatima asked her.

"Of course, Youngbae is here, we need to keep him full."  

she winked at me and I bowed back.   We started eating 

and Aunt Fe put a lot of food in my plate.  Good thing we 

didn't eat a lot back in the restaurant.  We started eating 

while Fatima shares something about her work life.  I was 

just staring at her and glancing at Aunt Fe sometimes.

They seem to have a very nice relationship.  I somewhat 

envy them because I wasn't too close to my mom.  I 

disobey her most of the time.  Though I really love her, 

and my Dad too.   I was just looking at Fatima when Aunt 

Fe suddenly snapped at me.

 

"Youngbae-yah, why are you not eating?  You need to eat 

your food.  Wise men say that if you eat a lot, there's a 

higher chance that you can create more babies, right 

Fatima?"  I can't help but laugh at her statement and 

especially when I saw Fatima cough hard and almost 

puke.

 

"MOM!!!!"  Fatima shouted after she was done coughing.   

I just smiled and wiggled my eyebrows at her.  She shot 

me a death glare and I continued eating my food.

"Why?  Is there something wrong with it?  You're adults, I 

am sure that you will do that one of these days, and I am 

very excited to finally have a~"

 

"MOM, ENOUGH, PLEASE."  Fatima cut her off and Aunt 

Fe just laughed.

 

"Alright, honey, I will stop.  I am sorry."  Aunt Fe said and 

she just winked at me.

 

I am such a lucky man to have these two wonderful 

women in my life.

 

~~~~~

 

They were done eating their food when they decided to 

transfer at the living room.  Aunt Fe did most of the 

talking and the other two were just listening.   Hours 

went by and Fatima fell asleep in Youngbae's shoulder.

"Looks like someone is a weakling."  Aunt Fe pointed at 

Fatima using her lips.

"Yeah..." is the only thing that Youngbae said while 

scratching his head.

 

"Why don't you just stay here for the night, I won't mind.   

I'll be upstairs now and sleep."  Aunt Fe stood up but 

before she went to the stairs, she whispered to Youngbae;

 

"Please take care of my one and only daughter, she's my 

life.  I trust in you."

"Don't worry, Aunt Fe, I will take care of her.  I love her as 

much as you do."   Youngbae responded.

"Call me Mom.. Goodnight Youngbae."   she trailed off and 

went to her bedroom.

 

Youngbae smiled and picked up Fatima and took her to 

her bedroom.  He removed his jacket and lay down beside 

her.  He was the happiest man alive and would like this 

moment to last forever... and ever.

[MAY 24, 2014]

 

DARA'S POV

 

My mouth was agape and I held on to the nearest wall.

 

That tattoo on his left shoulder is very familiar.  Tears 

come rushing in as I felt happiness and sadness at the 

same time.  I am happy because I finally confirmed that 

he's here at the Landmark.  However, I am equally sad 

because he was with a girl.

 

And they're so sweet together.  Just like us before.

 

I gathered all the strength that I have left and searched 

for them in the lobby and outside the hotel.  I saw him 

and the girl about to ride a cab so I immediately grabbed a 

cab as well.

 

"Sir, can you follow that other cab, please, it's an 

emergency."  I advised the driver who immediately 

followed.

 

There is no traffic because it was a weekend, so it isn't a 

struggle for us to follow them.

 

After a few minutes, the cab dropped them off to a mall.  I 

get out of the cab and followed them silently.  They went 

inside a bookstore where I just patiently wait outside.

 

After about almost an hour of waiting, the couple went 

out of the bookstore and went inside the department 

store.  They seem so comfortable with each other... 

holding hands.. sometimes they would glance at each 

other.  Jiyong would pat the girl's head sometimes..

 

Good thing I was wearing my hoodie and sunglasses 

because I could easily hide the tears in my eyes.

 

I remember all of the good times that I shared with 

Jiyong before.  I feel like I'm a queen.  He always give me 

everything that I want and I need, and I just threw it all 

away.  I am so stupid for doing that.   Now I need to do 

everything so that I can get him back, away from this girl. 

 

 

As I look at the girl, she dresses up nicely... I can see 

Minzy's style with her.  I am positive that this girl is a fan.  

Jiyong might have seen her somewhere and since she's a 

fan, she joined him of course.  They may be sweet but I 

don't believe that their relationship is similar to what I 

had with Jiyong before.  I am positive that I can get him 

back.

 

I am still following them and luckily they haven't 

noticed.  I see that they are now about to get out of the 

mall.  In just a few seconds, they were now inside the cab.  

I quickly get in to the next cab and asked the driver to 

follow them.

 

Jiyong's cab stopped at a cafe, near a club.  I asked the 

driver to drop me off the block before the cafe.  After the 

two got in, I went down and slowly rushed to the cafe 

after making sure that I've worn my disguise properly.

 

I peeked through the window at the side of the cafe and 

saw Jiyong and the girl sat on one of the two-chaired 

tables.  I carefully went inside and settled myself on the 

table behind them.

 

~~~~~

 

[JIYONG'S POV]

 

"I think I need hot green tea, I ate a lot yesterday and 

today!"  Noona said and I laughed hard.

 

"Me too!  The food at the Landmark is one of the best.  It's 

just that the tea and coffee here is perfect."  I murmured 

and she nodded.  She called the waiter and we ordered our 

favorite drinks.

 

"Jiyong-ah, any news about the other members?"  she 

suddenly asks.

 

"Hmm.. I don't.. no one has contacted me yet.. but I just 

sent a text message to them earlier today.. let's see if 

someone will check their phone."  I mumbled.

 

We continued laughing and talking when I suddenly felt 

uncomfortable.

 

I felt that I am being watched, or we are being watched.  I 

stood up and looked around.. nothing seems very 

suspicious aside from a person who's looking at the menu 

that covered  his/her entire face.  I shook my head and 

just sat down.

 

"Something wrong?"  Jeka asks.

 

"Nope, I just thought that I heard someone familiar, but, 

never mind.  It's nothing."  I winked and that's the time 

that our drinks arrived.

 

[AFTER A TWO HOURS, AUTHOR'S POV]

 

"I am sorry Jiyong, I need to go, I have an exam 

tomorrow so I need to study today"  Jeka said.

 

"Sure, I'll take you home."  Jiyong offered.

 

"No need, I will go there myself, you go home and see the 

sights."  Jeka said.

 

"Alright, if you insist baby girl."  Jiyong winked at her and 

Jeka giggled.  Dara stared at them and clenched her fists.

 

"Baby girl is just for me, ."  she whispered.

 

The two stood up and proceeded outside the cafe.  Dara 

followed them and stopped when she was a few feet away from them.  A 

cab passed by and they hailed it.  Before Jeka went inside, 

Jiyong pecked her lips and waived goodbye.

 

When the cab was out of sight, that's the time that Dara 

went closer.. little by little, until she's just behind Jiyong.

 

"Jiyong-ie?"
