Short Hair

 

“No!”

 

“Yes!”

 

“No!”

 

“I said yes!”

 

“I said no, and that’s final!”

 

“Urghh.. why are you so stubborn, Choi Sooyoung? I just want you to look good with a short hair! You will look more handsome in our wedding day”, Jessica said in frustration, furrowing her brows with a cute pout while crossed her arms. The couple were looking through the collection of photo wedding album which Jessica’s mother sent to her on yesterday. Jessica decided to hire her mother’s friend who was the famous wedding planner in Seoul and also an owner of a wedding boutique. The Choi and Jung agreed to hold the wedding ceremony privately which will be attended by only close friends and relatives.

 

“I’m not stubborn, Jessica Jung. And for the umpteenth time, I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I want you to be my wife.  It’s just that I don’t want to cut my hair short like I’m going to be enlisted into the army. It’s not cool, ya know”, he replied while caressing his not-so-long hair which its length just above his shoulder.

 

“Then who do you think you are? A rock star? With a long hair like Steve Tyler? I don’t want to marry with a rock star look alike. I want to marry with the most handsome man in the world with a short hair!”, Jessica said firmly.

 

“Just marry Daniel Henney then”, Sooyoung said jokingly, causing Jessica to shoot a deadly icy glare at him. He gulped.

 

“Yah! I’m being serious here, Choi Sooyoung!”, she exclaimed.

 

“And, I’m being serious here too, Jessica Jung Sooyeon”, he said with his serious look, but in joking manner.

 

“Urghh! Whatever! No for you until our wedding day!”, she exclaimed as she got up from the couch, and stomped angrily towards the bedroom.

 

“Fine! No for me until… w-what? A-andwae!”, he cried as he quickly jumped off the couch and ran towards the bedroom.

“Why are you staring at me like I am a gangster, huh?”, Sooyoung said as he looked rather annoyed. Yuri couldn’t help but to chuckle on his words.

 

“You really looked like Daniel Henney, eh?”, he said teasingly, causing Sooyoung showed his fist, pretended that he wanted to hit his best friend.

 

“Urghh.. I hate you, Jessica Jung!”, he exclaimed while ruffled his short hair into mess, causing the people around them shifted their attention at their table. Sooyoung and Yuri were having their bonding time at the street food stall while having soju and tteokbokki, not far from YoonYul apartment building.

 

After he promised with Jessica that he will cut his hair short, he went to the salon where Jessica was the regular customer there to have a haircut, and he took a selfie to prove to his fiancee that he had already fulfilled her wish. He then informed Jessica that he will straightly meeting up Yuri on that night to have their bonding time.  

 

“Calm down, buddy. I think I have to agree with Jessica. You looked more handsome with short hair, though”, Yuri said, giving his two cents.

 

“Really? Then, can we hit any of the famous club at Hongdae tomorrow? I want to test my market on how handsome I am with short hair”, he replied as he smiled mischievously.

 

“You want to die? Then you go ahead. I still want to live and want to have kids with Yoona, live happily ever after!”, Yuri said, causing Sooyoung rolled his eyes.

 

“I can’t believe Jessica threatened me just because she wanted me to cut my hair short. You know how I tried to keep my hair long since from our college time. My dad also used the same method, threatened me to take my name out of his heir’s list if I didn’t cut my hair short. Both of them are so cruel, ya know”, Sooyoung said disappointedly. Yuri just smiled hearing his best friend’s ranting and poured a soju into Sooyoung’s glass, and the latter gulped it in one go.

 

“Choi Sooyoung, listen to me. Do you want to marry Jessica?”, Yuri asked. Sooyoung furrowed his brows as he found the question was nonsense to him.

 

“Yah, Kwon Yuri! What kind of question is that? Of course I want to marry her, though!”, he replied, rolled his eyes annoyingly.

 

“Then, just listen to her. She and your dad might have a reason on why they wanted you to cut your hair short”, Yuri said.

 

“What do you mean?”, Sooyoung asked. Yuri patted on his back and poured for another glass of soju for Sooyoung.

 

“Because it is for your own good image, Soo. You as a heir of Choi Corporation, and soon-to-be husband to Jessica Jung, the famous actress and model in Korea. Do you think our society will accept your image with a long hair just like that? Not all them think like the way you think. This is not America where they don’t really care much on your image, whether you have a long hair or not. Our society still have this conservative thinking, ya know”, Yuri stated as he tried to put some sense into his best friend’s head. Sooyoung frowned as like he was in a deep thought. He then took the glass, and gulped the alcohol liquid again. He cringed on its taste.

 

“I think you’re right, Yul. I should listen to her and my dad. I want to be a handsome and neat Choi Sooyoung starting from now on! I want to be handsome like Daniel Henney to my Jeshika.. hehehe..”, Sooyoung exclaimed as he giggled. He tried to grab the soju bottle, but Yuri quickly snatched the bottle from him.

 

“Y-yah! Why are you doing that? I want to drink, Yul ah!”, he exclaimed and tried to snatch the soju bottle back from Yuri, but he failed to do so due to his half drunken state.

 

“You are drunk, Soo. Let me call Sica to pick you up. You can’t drive like this, ya know”, Yuri said.

 

“Huh? N-no, no, no. Don’t call her, Yul. Shika will get mad at me. I didn’t tell her I went out to have a drink with you. Don’t, please!”, Sooyoung begged him.

 

“Then, how are you going to go home with your state like this? I can’t let you drive on your own”, Yuri replied worriedly. Sooyoung then took his phone from his pants pocket, and put it on the table. He shoved the phone in front of Yuri.

 

“Here, call my family driver. Ask him to send me to my family’s mansion”, he said as his eyes were half closed.

 

“Aishh.. arasso”, Yuri said as he took the phone and slide to unlock the screen. “Aishh.. yah! What’s your passcode?”, he asked annoyingly.

 

“Hmm.. shikababy.. hehehe.. hik!”, Sooyoung replied as he giggled with a hiccup. Yuri just rolled his eyes and started to punch the passcode into the phone’s keyboard icon.

 

“Yoboseyo? Ah, Lee ssi, right? I’m Kwon Yuri, Young Master Choi’s best friend. Yes, he went out to have a drink with me and he got drunk. He asked you to come here and pick him up. Our location? We are at Chungdam Street. Yes, the street food stall near the Sunrise apartment block. Thank you, Lee ssi. Sorry for troubling you. Yes, see you soon. Annyeong!”, Yuri said as he ended the call.

 

“Aishh.. you owe me big this time, Choi Sooyoung!”, he said as he put back the phone into Sooyoung’s pants pocket. “Wait! How about Sica? Aren’t you supposed to tell her on your whereabout?”, Yuri asked.

 

“I will call Shika later, Yul ah. Gomawo.. hehehe.. hik!”, he said before he landed his head on the table and his eyes slowly closed.

 

“Tsk.. tsk.. you just drank one bottle of soju and drunk. You still have a lower tolerance on alcohol among us three, Sooyoung ah”, Yuri mumbled as he shook his head and waved his hand to call the stall owner to pay for the food and drinks.

“Where the hell is he?”, Jessica mumbled as she was pacing back and forth at the living room of her apartment and Sooyoung. She glanced at the wall clock, and it’s already 1:00 a.m.

 

“He told me he went to that hair saloon to have a haircut, and then to have a bonding time with Yuri. Is he telling me the truth?”, she mumbled while tried to dial Sooyoung’s number again for the 10th time, but she failed to reach him as the call will go to the voice message inbox.

 

“Urghh.. Choi Sooyoung! I’m going to kill you once you showed up in front of the door!”, she groaned in frustration. “Let me call Yuri first. Who knows he might be still with him”, she said as she quickly dialled Yuri’s number.

 

“RING! RING! RING!”

 

“Y-yoboseyo?”, Yuri answered the call with a weak voice. He has already into his dreamland with Yoona an hour after he parted with Sooyoung earlier.

 

“Yuri ah, sorry to disturb your sleep. Do you know where is Sooyoung right now? I tried to call him many times, but all calls went into his voice message inbox”, she said rather worried.

 

“Ah, Sica. Gwenchana. Soo was drunk after he drank one bottle of soju, and he couldn’t drive in that state. He asked me to call the Choi family driver to pick him up, and sent him to the Choi’s mansion”, Yuri said as he explained.

 

“Mwoh? He asked his family driver to send him to Choi’s mansion? But, why?”, she asked in surprise tone.

 

“He said he’s afraid to go home with his drunken state. He’s afraid you might be mad at him”, Yuri replied.

 

“Oh, Lord! Why he said like that!”, Jessica exclaimed as she massage her temple. Yuri quickly distanced his phone from his ear due to Jessica’s loud voice.

 

“Sica, you don’t have to shout, ya know. He was drunk, Sica. Just let him be. I think maybe because he feel frustrated for unable to keep her hair long. He used to have a long hair since from college time, but you and his father wanted him to cut his hair short, and he felt pressured. But, don’t worry, Sica. I knew him well. He eventually did it because he love you so much, same goes to his father”, Yuri said as he chuckled.

 

“Mianhae Yuri ah for troubling you. Thanks for taking care of him. I will fetch him from Choi’s mansion on tomorrow morning”, Jessica apologized and thanked him at the same time.

 

“It’s okay, Sica. Just don’t worry about him. He will feel better on tomorrow, trust me”, Yuri said assuringly.

 

“Thanks once again Yuri ah. Sorry for disturbing your sleep. Send my regards to Yoona”, she replied.

 

“Sure, Sica. Good night!”, he said as he ended the conversation.

 

“Yeah, good night!”, Jessica replied and ended the call. She put her phone on the coffee table and sat on the couch, pouting.

 

“I’m sorry baby for making you feel pressured. You must feel sad because you have to sacrifice your long hair for me. I promise I will make it up to you on tomorrow”, she mumbled sadly. She then went to her bedroom and set an alarm to make sure she will get up early on tomorrow morning to fetch her beloved fiance.

After about forty minutes journey to the Choi’s mansion, finally the family’s car reached in front of the mansion’s main gate. It’s automatically opened and Lee continued to drive the car until it reaches at the mansion foyer.

 

“Young Master Choi, we already arrived at the mansion”, Lee announced while glancing at the rear mirror. He just smiled when there’s no response from the latter as he was in a deep slumber at the backseat. “Young Master looked handsome in short hair, though”, he mumbled with a giggle. He then fished out his phone and dialled the phone number of the mansion’s maid, asking her to open the main door. After he made a call, he got out of the car, and opened the backseat door to take Sooyoung out of the car. He carefully supported Sooyoung’s body and walked to the main door.

 

“Omo! What happen to Sooyoung?”, Mrs. Han, the maid asked in worried tone. Mrs. Han had been working with the Choi family since Sooyoung was still small, and she treated him like her own son. She helped Lee to carry Sooyoung to the living room.

 

“He was drunk, ahjumma. His friend Yuri ssi called me, asked me to pick him up since he couldn’t drive his car back home. Yuri ssi said Young Master asked him to inform me to send him here instead of his apartment”, Lee replied while helped Mrs. Han to laid him down on the couch.

 

“Aigoo.. what happened to him actually? There must be something that bothering his mind until he became drunk like this”, Mrs. Han said while she took off Sooyoung’s shoes.

 

“I don’t know, ahjumma. Alright, I need to go home right now. See you on tomorrow, ahjumma”, Lee replied as he bowed to Mrs. Han.

 

“Arasso. Thank you Lee ssi”, Mrs. Han thanked him. Lee smiled and waved his hand at her before he left. Mrs. Han then hurriedly walked towards the guest room to take a pillow and blanket for Sooyoung. She carefully lifted Sooyoung’s head to put the pillow beneath and put the blanket over him.

 

“Aigoo.. he finally got his hair cut short, eh?”, Mrs. Han said as she giggled. “Good night, Sooyoung ah. I will make you a hot soup for you to drink on tomorrow. Sleep well”, Mrs. Han said while caressing his hair before she went back to her room.

“SLAP! SLAP!”

 

“Oww!”, Sooyoung groaned in pain as he felt his cheek burned.

 

“Yah! Choi Sooyoung! Get up right now before I kick your !”

 

Sooyoung slowly opened his eyes and got up from the couch. He rubbed his blurry eyes and holding his head as he felt dizzy because of the effect of the alcohol last night.

 

“What happened to you, huh? Why are you sleeping here?”, a gruff voice asked him in a mad tone. He knew the voice owner is no other than the Choi Senior, his beloved father.

 

“D-dad? Huh? Where am I?”, he said with a hoarse voice.

 

“You don’t know where you are? Of course it’s your house, you brat!”, Mr. Choi replied in annoyed tone.

 

“Yeobo ah! Calm down, will you? Let’s listen to him first. Sooyoung, go and freshen up first and have a breakfast with us. Ahjumma has already prepared a hot soup for you”, Mrs. Choi said as she appeared from the kitchen.  

 

“Arasso”, Sooyoung replied as he obediently got up from the couch and headed to his room upstairs.

 

“What happened to him? Did he had a fight with Jessica? Anyway, I noticed he got his hair cut short”, Mr. Choi said while walking towards the dining room. Mrs. Choi put the newspaper on the table next to his plate.

 

“I don’t have any idea, yeobo ah. Probably he wanted to change his look for his wedding day?”, Mrs. Choi replied while she poured a coffee into the cup, and put it in front of her husband.

 

“Finally he did it. Thank God we have a wonderful soon-to-be daughter in law who can take care of him, and make him listen to her. Otherwise I don’t know what should I do with him as he always disobey us”, Mr. Choi said as he took the cup and sipped his coffee.

 

“DING! DONG!”

 

The doorbell rang, indicating that the Choi will receive a guest this morning. Mrs. Choi quickly got up from her seat and headed towards the door. She was surprised to see the person who was standing in front of the door right after she opened it.

 

“Jessica?”, Mrs. Choi said in surprise.

 

“Annyeong, auntie!”, Jessica greeted her and gave her a hug.

 

“What are you doing here, sweetie? Come, let’s have breakfast with us. Sooyoung is at upstairs, freshen up”, she said as she grabbed Jessica’s wrist and pulled her to get inside.

 

“Sorry for disturbing you this morning, Auntie. I came here to fetch Sooyoung. He went out with Yuri last night to have a drink together and later he got drunk. He couldn’t drive, so he asked your family driver to pick him up”, Jessica said as she followed Mrs. Choi to the dining room.

 

“Jessica?”, Mr. Choi said in surprise the moment he saw Jessica and his wife entered the dining room.

 

“Annyeong, uncle. How are you?”, she replied bowed to him. Mr. Choi got up and gave her a hug.

 

“I’m good, sweetie. Are you looking for Sooyoung?”, he said as he gestured Jessica to take a seat.

 

“Dae, uncle. He couldn’t drive last night, so Yuri told me he asked your family driver to pick him up. He said he doesn’t want me to worry about him”, she replied as she lowered her head.

 

“Aishh.. that brat! He shouldn’t drink for he knew he couldn’t tolerate much with alcohol. You know what, sweetie? He used to be worst than last night during his college time. Yuri and Taeyeon really having their hard time handling this kid because he kept vomiting non-stop, just because he drank two bottles of soju”, Mr. Choi said while shook his head, reminiscing those times.

 

“He’s just a kid at that time, yeobo ah”, Mrs. Choi said as she smiled. “What do you want to have for drinks, sweetie?”, she asked as the maid put an extra glass and cup in front of her.

 

“I will just have orange juice, auntie. Thanks”, she replied. Mrs. Han then poured the orange juice into the glass.

 

“Thank you, ahjumma”, Jessica thanked her.

 

“You’re welcome, sweetie. Do you want chicken salad for breakfast?”, Mrs. Han asked as she already knew Jessica’s favorite breakfast menu since Sooyoung often brought her back to the mansion, meeting his family.

 

“It’s okay, ahjumma. I will just have cereal for breakfast. Thank you, ahjumma”, Jessica replied with a smile. All the Choi and maids were very fond of Jessica as she was a humble person and friendly with anyone, regardless of their background even though she's a famous celebrity and comes from a wealthy family.

 

Not long after, Sooyoung went downstairs and heading towards the dining room. He then froze as he was surprised when saw his fiancee was sitting there while having breakfast with his parents.

 

“Come and have a breakfast with us. Sit next to Jessica”, Mr. Choi ordered. Jessica startled, and immediately turned to look at Sooyoung. She smiled widely the moment she saw Sooyoung with his new look. She couldn’t help but to fall in love with him even more.

 

“H-hey”, he greeted his fiancee and walked towards her. He took a seat next to her.

 

“Hey, baby. How are you feeling this morning?”, she asked as she put her hand on his back.

 

“Still dizzy”, he replied with a faint smile. Jessica then leaned closer to him.

 

“You looked so handsome with a short hair. I think I fall in love with you more”, she whispered into his ear, causing Sooyoung blushed.

 

“Chincha? Hehe.. thanks, babe”, he replied shyly as he giggled. His confidence suddenly boost after he received a special compliment from his beloved one.

 

“Ehem!”, Mr. Choi cleared his throat while staring at the two lovebirds getting all mushy towards each other. “Just eat your breakfast kids, other things can be continued at your home later”, he said causing the two blushed in embarrassment. Mrs. Choi chuckled hearing her husband’s words.

 

“Sica, your mother told me you have already picked the wedding planner. If I’m not mistaken she’s your mother’s friend, right?”, Mrs. Choi asked.

 

“Dae, auntie. She also owns a wedding boutique. She used to become wedding planner for some famous Korean celebrities, and I kind of like her wedding concept”, she replied while looking at Sooyoung.

 

“Yes, mom. We have already looked through some of the photo albums which Auntie Jung sent to us last time. I kinda like their concept too, and I trust Jessica because she knows what's the best for us”, Sooyoung added.

 

“Ah, good to know that. What about the invitation card? Have you two made the booking?”, she asked.

 

“Dae, auntie. We have already made the booking with Sooyoung’s friend. He owns a printing company”, Jessica replied.

 

“Good. Aigoo.. I can’t wait for you two to get married!”, Mrs. Choi said as she clapped her hands excitedly, causing the others chuckled.

 

“Yeah, me too. We want you to give us grandchildren after that, arasso?”, Mr. Choi said as he agreed with his wife.

 

“Err.. mom, dad.. w-we have something to tell you”, Sooyoung said nervously while looking at his fiancee. Jessica nodded her head with a smile.

 

“What is it, Soo?”, his parents chorused.

 

“Well, ermm.. a-actually.. J-Jessica is…”, Sooyoung stuttered as he felt nervous about the news he wanted to tell to his parents.

 

“Yah! Just tell us, you brat!”, Mr. Choi exclaimed impatiently.

 

“J-Jessica is pregnant”

 

“Mworago?”
