Deja vu? - Last Part

 

“Omo, Hyoyeon ah!”

 

They found Hyoyeon was lying on the floor, unconscious. They quickly entered the bathroom and Seohyun rushing towards her fiance and kneeled down beside him. She lifted his head and put on her lap.

 

“Omo, honey ah! Wake up! What happened to you?”, she cried as she tried to wake him up.

 

“Hyoyeon ah! Wake up, son!”, Mr. Seo patted his cheek several times. The latter didn’t respond.

 

“Hyunnie omma, palli (quick)! Call Doctor Han”, Mr. Seo instructed his wife to call their personal doctor.

 

“Dae”, Mrs. Seo quickly went out of the bathroom and rushed towards the living room to make a phone call.

 

“Aigoo.. what happened to him? Did he have any kind of disease?”, Mr. Seo asked his daughter.

 

“So, far he didn’t have any, appa. But, sometimes he will have a headache, but not that worse”, Seohyun replied as tears rolled down her cheeks.

 

“Aishh.. don’t cry, Hyunnie ah. He is going to be all right, I am sure”, Mrs. Seo said tried to soothe his daughter. A few minutes later, Mrs. Seo appeared in front of the bathroom’s door.

 

“Doctor Han will arrive in twenty minutes, Hyunnie appa”, she informed.

 

“Alright. Help me to lift him and we carry him to the living room”, he said. The Seo then started to lift the poor Hyoyeon and carried him out of the bathroom to the living room. They carefully put Hyoyeon on the couch.

 

“Hyunnie ah. Go to your room and get a blanket for your fiance, palli”, he instructed.

 

“Dae, appa”, Seohyun replied as she rushed to her bedroom upstairs.

 

“I’ll go to the kitchen to get a warm towel and basin”, Mrs. Seo said.

 

“Okay”, Mr. Seo replied while lifting Hyoyeon’s head to tuck a small pillow under his head.

 

Twenty minutes later

 

“DING! DONG!”

 

The doorbell rang, indicating that Dr. Han has already arrived. Mr. Seo quickly headed towards the door.

 

“Han, thank you for coming. Sorry for troubling you”, Mr. Seo said as soon as he opened the door. Dr. Han was also his best friend.

 

“It’s okay, Seo. I’m not that busy at this moment. Where’s Juhyun’s fiance?”, he asked as he walked inside the house.

 

“Come with me”, Mr. Seo replied as he lead Dr. Han to the living room.

 

Dr. Han then put his bag on the coffee table. He opened his bag and took out the stethoscope. He sat next to the unconscious Hyoyeon and took his right hand to check his pulse.  He then used his stethoscope and placed it against Hyoyeon’s chest. After repeating the process several times, he then stopped and hang the stethoscope around his neck.

 

“Don’t worry, he’s fine. He just fainted. Maybe because he felt exhausted or having an anxiety or nervousness over something. Just wipe his face using a warm towel and give him a glass of plain water to drink when he’s conscious. I suggest to bring him to the hospital or clinic later for further examination”, Dr. Han said.

 

“Thank God!”, Seohyun said in relief. She was standing next to her parents.

 

“Hello, Juhyun. It’s been a long time since the last time I met you. How are you, dear?”, Dr. Han asked.

 

“Hello, Uncle Han. I’m fine. It’s my fiance who’s not fine today”, she replied as she smiled faintly. Dr. Han chuckled on her words.

 

“Don’t worry, dear. As I said earlier, he’s totally fine. He just fainted and he will be conscious later”, Dr. Han said. He then got up from the couch and put back the stethoscope inside his bag.

 

“Alright, Seo. I have to go now. Don’t forget to do what I told you earlier, okay?”, Dr. Han reminds his friend as he took his bag from the coffee table.

 

“Dae. Thanks for coming, Han. I really appreciate it”, Mr. Seo said as he lead his friend towards the door.

 

“Don’t mention, Seo. Alright, I’ll see you later”, he replied as he gave Mr. Seo a brief hug before he went out of the house. He then headed back to the living room. He saw his daughter was wiping her fiance’s face with a warm towel while his wife was sitting on the next couch, watching her daughter. After a few moment, finally Hyoyeon woke up. He stared blankly at the ceiling.

 

“Honey ah! Are you okay?”, Seohyun asked worriedly. Seohyun’s parents rushed to the couch and stood near their daughter.

 

“Huh? W-where am I?”, he asked with a weak voice.

 

“You’re still at our house, son. How’s your feeling right now?”, Mr. Seo replied. Hyoyeon suddenly gasped the moment he heard Mr. Seo’s voice. His face turned pale.

 

“Omo, are you okay, honey ah?”, Seohyun asked in worried tone.

 

“Hyunnie ah, give him a plain water to drink, palli!”, Mrs. Seo said. Seohyun did as her mother instructed. She lifted Hyo’s head a bit and put the glass on his lips.  Hyoyeon slowly gulping the plain liquid.

 

“T-thanks”, he said as he smiled weakly. He tried to get up and Seohyun quickly put her hand on his back as a support for him to sit on the couch.

 

“Sweetie, I think you better bring Hyo to the hospital. I’m afraid he’s not feeling well”, Mr. Seo ordered.

 

“Ermm.. u-uncle. It’s.. it’s okay. I’m fine”, Hyoyeon said with a faint smile.

 

“You’re not okay, son. You look pale”, Mr. Seo replied as he looked rather concerned.

 

“I.. I..”, Hyoyeon’s voice trailed off as he contemplated whether he should tell him the truth or not.  “I think I have to agree with his suggestion. If I tell him the truth, I will embarrass myself in front of Juhyun’s parents. I should tell the truth only to Juhyun later”, he thought.

 

“O-okay, uncle”, he slowly nodded his head in agreement.

 

“Good. Hyunnie ah, go with Hyo now. Call us after you get the result, okay?”, Mr. Seo said to his daughter.

 

“Dae, appa”, she complied. “Wait here, okay? I’m going upstairs to take my belongings”, Seohyun said to her fiance while quickly getting up from the couch, heading to her bedroom upstairs. Hyoyeon nodded while his eyes trailing on his fiance's movement until she disappear from his sight.

 

“Hyo ah. If you are having any health problem, don’t hesitate to go and see the doctor, okay?”, Mrs. Seo said softly.

 

“D-dae, auntie”, he replied.

 

“We want you to be healthy, so that you can take care of our daughter after both of you getting married later”, Mr. Seo said.

 

“D-dae, uncle”, he replied. “W-wait… get.. getting married?”, he blurted out, but quickly covered his mouth as he was in shock.

 

“Yes, son. Don’t tell me you don’t want to marry our daughter?”, Mr. Seo said seriously, furrowing his brows.

 

“N-no.. I-I mean, y-yes.. of course I want to marry Juhyun, auntie, uncle. I love her so much and I really want to spend the rest of my life with her”, Hyoyeon said with enthusiasm. Gone his anxiety about Mr. Seo’s acceptance on him and his bad dream last night. Without they realized, Seohyun was eavesdropping on their conversation. She couldn’t help but smiling from ear to ear upon hearing Hyoyeon’s words.

 

“Ah, good to know that”, he said while nodding smilingly. Seohyun then immediately walking towards the living room.

 

“Eomma, appa. I think we have to go now”, Seohyun said right after she’s approaching her parents. She then approaching her fiance and helping him to get up from the couch.

 

“Alright. Call us after you see the doctor, okay?”, Mrs. Seo replied. Seohyun then walked towards her mother and gave her a hug.

 

“Love you, eomma. Take care, okay?”, she said while kissing on her mother’s cheek.

 

“You too, sweetie”, her mother replied while patting on her daughter’s back before she pulled off the hug. Seohyun then leaned closer to her father to hug him.

 

“Love you, appa. Take care, okay? Eomma, please watch appa’s food intake”, she said while patting on her father’s back.

 

“Aishh.. I eat well, Hyunnie ah. Your mother never let me eating all those greasy food anymore”, he said while pouting. Seohyun and Mrs. Seo grimace on his failed aegyo while Hyoyeon just giggled silently.

 

“Alright. I will see both of you again later”, she said after she pulled of the hug.

 

“Thank you for your warm welcome and also for the lunch, auntie, uncle. I would like to apologize for troubling your family today”, Hyoyeon said as he bowed to Seohyun’s parents.

 

“Aigoo.. you’re not troubling us at all, Hyo ah. Glad that you’re okay now”, Mrs. Seo replied.

 

“Your auntie is right, Hyoyeon ah. But, don’t forget to see the doctor after this, okay?”, Mr. Seo said.

 

“Okay, uncle. I will”, Hyoyeon replied with a smile.

 

After bid goodbye to her parents, the couple left the Seo residence and headed to the car.

 

“Honey ah, do you want me to drive? You’re still not feeling well”, Seohyun asked.

 

“No, I’m okay, babe. I.. actually I want to tell you something, but can I tell you after we arrived at home later?”, he replied while opening the passenger’s door for his fiancee.

 

“Oh, chincha? I thought we’re going straight to the hospital to do further check-up?”, she said.

 

“What I want to tell you is actually related on that matter. So, let’s go now?”, he replied.

 

“Huh? Is that so?”, she said as she furrowed her brows. “Alright, let’s go ”, she said and slowly getting inside the car. Hyoyeon immediately closed the door and rushed to the driver’s side to get inside the car. After turning on the engine, he started to drive the car, heading to their home.

 

Later on that evening at HyoHyun apartment

 

Since Seohyun thought that Hyoyeon still not feeling well, she volunteered to cook for their dinner. So, she was at the kitchen about half an hour ago to prepare simple dishes like Kimchi Jigae (kimchi soup), Gyeran mari (Korean egg roll) and Jangeo gui (grilled eel) for their dinner. Hyoyeon wanted to help her first, but she forbids him to enter the kitchen. Hyoyeon couldn’t do anything as she insists and spending his time watching some random TV programs while waiting for his fiancee done preparing the food.

 

Because of feeling so bored, he slowly feel sleepy and was about to close his eyes when suddenly he felt a pair of hands wrapping around his neck and he startled.

 

“Don’t fall asleep yet. You need to eat your dinner first and you owe me the thing that you want to tell earlier”, she said while ruffling his hair.

 

“Aishh.. my hair!”, he grunted. Seohyun just chuckled while fixing his messy hair and kissed on top of his head.

 

“There. Let’s eat now. Kaja!”, she said while patting on his cheek. Hyoyeon lazily got up from the couch and following his fiancee to the kitchen.

 

“Wow! You cook all these?”, he said as he took a seat at the dining table.

 

“Yup. It’s been awhile since I didn't cook for myself. I usually just ordered takeaway food when I lived alone before this”, she said.

 

“Chincha?”, he replied.

 

“Yes, dear. I was so busy until I didn’t have time to cook for myself. I often came home late and sometimes I just ate my lunch or dinner at my office”, she said, reminiscing those times when she was living alone while serving the food on his plate. Hyoyeon immediately took his chopsticks and took some grilled eel and put it into his mouth. He slowly munched it and his eye suddenly grew bigger.

 

“Omo! This is so delicious, babe!”, he exclaimed. Seohyun smiled and scooped some kimchi jigae into the small bowl. She put the bowl next to his plate.

 

“Chincha? Eat as much as you like, okay?”, she said as she took a seat next to her fiance.

 

“Did you learn how to cook from your appa?”, he asked. Seohyun shook her head while munching her food.

 

“Appa never taught me on how to cook. Eomma did”, she replied.

 

“Chincha? I thought being a Master Chef, he surely wanted his child to inherit his cooking skills, right?”, he said. Again, Seohyun just shook her head.

 

“Not all fathers in this world wanted his child to inherit of what he did. Appa is quite an open minded person when it comes to what his child wanted to be. He never objected when I told her that I wanted to further my study in Business Studies. He once said he wanted to give his child a freedom to choose on what she wanted to be, as long as it will bring a bright future to her”, she said with a smile. She’s always felt proud of her father whenever she thought about him.

 

“I see”, Hyoyeon nodded. “My father never give me and my little brother a freedom like that. He runs a supermarket in our hometown with my mother, so he wanted his child to at least inherit of what he did. That’s why I graduated with Business Studies as my first degree. My original ambition since I was a child is to become a performer. I love to dance. But I was so scared to tell my father about my ambition, so, I only told my mother about it. Mother never objected, but she has to listen to my father. After I fulfilled his wish, I continued to take my second degree in Performing Arts without his knowledge”, he said.

 

“Chincha? You never shared with me about that before”, she said with a pout. Hyoyeon giggled and gently pinched her cheek as he found it cute.

 

“I have already shared it with you just now, right?”, he replied and was about to give a peck on her cheek when she quickly shoved his head to the side.

 

“Yah! Don’t kiss me with your greasy lips. It’s gross, you know!”, she exclaimed while giving him her cute glare. Hyoyeon couldn’t help but to laugh as he found it funny and cute at the same time.

 

“Arasso, ahjummeoni!”, he said teasingly, causing him to receive a hard slap on his thigh from his beloved fiancee. “Ouww!”, he groaned in pain. He quickly put his chopsticks aside.

 

“Seo Juhyun, saranghae!”, he said while putting his both hands on top of his head, doing a love gesture. Seohyun giggled.

 

“Nado saranghae. Now, stop talking and finish your food”, she replied. She was about to continue eating when she suddenly stopped as she remembered something.

 

“I just remembered that you want to tell me something earlier. What is it?”, she asked.

 

“Oh, about that. But promise me one thing”, he replied. Seohyun furrowed her brows.

 

“Promise what? I don’t understand”, she said.

 

“Aishh.. just promise not to laugh after I tell you, okay?”, he said.

 

“Arasso. I promise. Okay, now tell me what is it?”, she asked impatiently. Hyoyeon stopped eating and took a glass of plain water to drink first before he continued.

 

“Do you still remember about the bad dream I had on the night before we met your parents?”, he asked. Seohyun furrowed her brows as she tried to remember.

 

“Oh, yeah. About that dream. But you said it was nothing last time, right?”, she said.

 

“Yup. I was actually wanted to tell you about my dream. But, since I was afraid it will offend you, I decided not to tell you on that day”, he replied.

 

“Chincha? Aishh.. you know I’m not that kind of person who will immediately jump into conclusion without hearing it from you. You have to trust me, honey ah. We are about to getting married soon. You should share whatever you want to share with me, arasso?”, she said. Hyoyeon then slowly took her hand and caressed it.

 

“I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to hide it from you”, he apologized. “I dreamt about meeting your parents on that night. Your eomma accepted me well in that dream, but your appa… after you told him that I’m a widower, he.. he tried to kill me..”, he said hesitantly.

 

“Mworago? Appa tried to kill you?”, she exclaimed as her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn’t help but to laugh as she found it funny.

 

“Babe…you promised me not to laugh, right?”, Hyoyeon whined. Seohyun immediately covered as she stopped laughing. “Sorry”, she apologized. “Okay, then, after that?”, she said.

 

“You know, the day we met your parents were exactly like in my dream, except the part that your appa tried to kill me. Everything was like a recorded video which has been played back by someone. It’s like.. a deja vu”, he replied.

 

“Chinca? Wow! I never had any experience on deja vu so far. But, you never come to my parents house before. How come you have that kind of dream? I mean, what I have read before about deja vu, the person who experienced it usually had been familiar with the situation or place, or person, vice versa, something like that. In your case, the situation happened might be because you have met my appa before and I have once showed you about my parents photo”, she said.

 

“Ermm.. maybe I have visited a house which looked exactly like your parents house before this?”, he replied.

 

“Yeah, that make sense to me”, she said while nodding in agreement. “But, why did you faint in the bathroom? Did you afraid appa might do something on you? Like, he tried to kill you in your dream since you experienced deja vu?”, she asked.

 

“Why do I feel like I’m having a consultancy session with a psychiatrist right now?”, he said as he joked.

 

“Yah! I’m serious here!”, Seohyun exclaimed while shot a glare at her fiance. Hyoyeon chuckled while he mouthed “sorry” to her.

 

“Yeah, you’re right. I think I was too afraid to face your appa. I suddenly felt nervous and wanted to hide myself from him. That’s why I went to the bathroom which I didn’t really doing my business there. I was just overthinking and too afraid that things will happen like in my dream on that night until I passed out. I’m so stupid, right?”, he said with a chuckle. Seohyun smiled after hearing his explanation.

 

“You are not stupid, honey ah. I understand on what had happened to you. Appa loves me so much because I’m his only child. Of course he wanted me to marry the right person. I mean, a person who really loves me and could take care of me like every parents wanted. That’s why he was a bit surprised when I told him that you’re a widower. I know he doesn’t really care much about your past, but he only wanted you to love me and care for me honestly, not because of other things”, she said.

 

“I love you so much, babe. Just the same as I loved late Nicole. You know what, we never have a big fight throughout our marriage when she was alive. Of course, we did have some silly fights over silly things since both of us were busy with our work. But, we will always make up to each other and the fight will never be too long. Not more than 24 hours. I will always be the one who apologized first because I know, life is short. Yeah, who knows, my time with her was really short, right?”, he said as he smiled faintly.

 

“Aishh.. don't say like that”, she said as she leaned closer and hug him by the waist. “I know she must feel so lucky and proud to have you as her husband. I want to tell you the same. I’m so lucky to meet you and falling in love with you. You are a wonderful person, you know that?”, she replied.

 

“Thank you, babe”, he said with a smile as he hugged her. “Oh, I remembered on something!”, he said.

 

“What is it?”, Seohyun replied as she pulled off the hug.

 

“Before I passed out, your appa went somewhere to take something. I didn’t know what it was? Did you know anything about that?”, he asked.  

 

“Ah, about that. He was actually wanted to give you something as a present. He once told me that someday when I meet someone and ready to marry that person, he will give one of his precious collections to his future son in-law”, she replied.

 

“Chincha? What is it?”, he asked in curious tone.

 

“It’s a chef knives set he had used when he got his first job as a chef. He said he really wanted to give that to you as a welcome gift to our small family”, she replied smilingly.

 

“Chincha? Oh, wow! That’s very nice of him. I thought he went to the kitchen to take a knife to kill me like in my dream. That’s why I ran away to the bathroom at that time”, he said as he chuckled.

 

“Mworago?”, she exclaimed in surprise. “You're funny, you know that?”, she said while laughing.

 

“Yeah, funny isn’t it?”, he laughed. “Anyway, it wasn't a bad dream at all, right? I think it’s a sign from God to show me that your parents accepted me just for who I am. I’m so glad that it goes well, although it was not as smooth as they thought”, he said with a chuckle.

 

“Omo! What are we going to tell my parents about your health condition? We didn’t go to the hospital at all”, she said. Hyoyeon just smiled and patted her thigh.

 

“Don’t worry. Just tell them I’m okay. I don’t have any health problem and I’m just tired, that’s all”, he suggested.

 

“Arasso”, she replied. “Alright, let’s finish all these foods”, she said as both of them continued with their dinner.
