This is oneshot sequel from Chapter 1. Our Own World; which i suggest you read it first if you havent 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It’s been a while; 3 years has passed.
And many things happened.

Right now once again I’m waiting for Minho to come, standing near the gate in Narita Airport.
Yes, I moved to Japan and stay here ever since.
But no, he didn’t live here with me.

Like I said, many things happened, and situation gets changed.

Minho and Tiffany were not together anymore as they got divorced 6 months ago, while I’m happily married with a Korean I got to know here in Tokyo and we're just celebrate our 1st anniversary.

Ah, there he is. Minho looked as handsome as I always knew of him, even though he looked slightly different than the last time I met him 6 months ago. His hair is a bit shorter, and he’s also a bit skinnier. I could see that his eyes don’t sparks as bright as before. But soon after he saw me his smile appeared, and those loving stare; it still goes the same like how he always look at me then he literally runs towards me.

I bent down to whispered something to the little prince who’s been holding my hand tightly, “Shin-ah, look, it’s Minho Appa.”

So no, Tiffany didn’t give Minho a child. But yes, I gave him a son.

As soon as Minho stepped closer to me, he gave me a peck on the cheek but lifted Shin on his arms right away, saying, “Look how big you are right now! Do you still remember me, Shin-ah?” as our son is staring at him. Shin might needs a little time to get used to Minho because he’s only 1 and a half year the last time he saw his appa.

My baby looks exactly like me, although a lot of his habits are similar to his father; the way he gritted his teeth on his sleeps or his favorite fruit is strawberries. No one, not even my parents know that he’s not Yonghwa’s son, except Minho and I. And my husband himself –yes, he knew. I told him too, how crazy he is, willing to take me and my baby to be with him as a family.

“Where’s Yonghwa-sshi?” Minho asked me as he’s just cant stop showering Shin’s chubby cheek with his kisses. I smiled sadly, knowing how he cant be with Shin as much as he wants.

“He has to go to Saitama because of a sudden task from his boss.” I explained as we walked to the train which will take us to Tokyo. But I think, he’s just being considerate to give Minho the time to meet Shin.

Minho looked at me, and I knew right away what he’s going to say, “I just cant understand that guy, that lucky bastard. I trusted you, but there’s no way I would let you go by yourself to meet me if I were him.”

I patted his cheek lovingly, but it always felt differently since things have changed between us; since we’re no longer together as a secret couple; as a so-called hidden lover. “It’s just because he understands, that’s all.”

“… or mainly stupid.” Minho muttered, but I know that deep down inside, he admires my husband, almost as much as I do. As then I heard him continued, “but annoyingly undefeated.” .. see?

Our silent conversation got cut by Shin as he suddenly called out, “.. Mi-no Appa?” and it makes Minho’s face lighten up so brightly. He lifted Shin up high and laughing so happily.

I saw there’s a woman, my mother’s age, is smiling as she looked at us. I nodded my head politely, thinking that maybe she thought about looking at one small yet happy family.

Well, we are a family the three of us; Minho, Shin and I. But I used to think that small world I shared with Minho only, it was long gone right now. Don’t ask me when did that world ends, and don’t ask me why because telling the story is going to take more than a day.

.
.
.

As fate seems to always playing with Minho and I, waiting for a train like this reminds me on what I used to feel back then; how I want to just run away with him –and now with our son too, then forget the rest of the world to begin to build ours. But no, like I said, now everything is different.

Because of the cold, unconsciously Minho wrapped his left arm around my waist and lightly planted a kiss on the side of my head. I stood there and ignore the small but sweet intention coming from him, who even whispered “I missed you.” right after that.

.
.

.
.

I love Yonghwa, I really do. I believe I do.

But Dear God, please forgive me that this very moment, .. I realized that I love Minho too long and too much, to resist the comfortable and warmth feeling as then I reaching out to held Shin’s small hand and slowly rested my head to Minho’s shoulder and whispered back, “Me too.”

And now as Shin is here with us, suddenly I began to miss our own world again, Minho.

XDDDD shineeninja and Wondershobe, i hope you were satisfied with this sequel as i dedicated this chapter for you two! and i hope that i came up with your expectation to make a short continuation from chapter 1 :)

this sequel too, must leaving many questions on its open ending, but after this, im not planning to write any continuation of this chapter anymore. so i let your imagination to build your version of what happen next inside this story, she could stay with Yonghwa or Minho, it's up to your choice (please do tell me, if you have thoughts) :D

thank you everyone for your comments! it gave me inspiration to continue to write and also to continue making correction on many flaws i have in my stories..

and for chasethestars, thank you so much for the critics, and I decided to change the title from Drabbles into Short Stories.

Chapter 2: Taemin! *^*

Primarily because it shows a human side to her; sure she's the childhood friend who can do no wrong [or must do no wrong a.k.a. shouldn't overstep boundaries clearly laid out since day one], but beneath that surface is someone who has desires and weaknesses that are on the verge of awakening if provoked. Of course it is by a conscious choice if one wants to give in, and in this case she did, knowing full well that it's both unreal and temporary. Maybe that's why I like the twist, not because Jonghyun mistook her as Jieun, but because she succumbed to the same "nightmare" as Jonghyun: being loved, even if he's seeing someone else.

I'm not sure if I made much sense in the last few sentences, so I apologize in advance if there's anything unclear OTL As usual, you've done a good job and delivered with these stories, so do keep it up! ^o^

# 11: ... How scary is it that we think alike [in regards to that ring] o_o Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when I saw that ring on his finger for the first time was: "Are you finally off the market, Taeminnie?" LOL. Jokes and assumptions aside, I was smiling to myself while reading this chapter. Leave it to Taemin to be 19/20 years of age and get away with being childish and childlike, which in turn can be frustrating at times because even if noona tries to be annoyed/angry/etc. at him, she wouldn't find the heart to because noona loves him a lot [as long as what he does is still within reason, of course] XD Also, is it wrong of me to picture Taemin giving noona the couple ring even before she could say a word or hug him? I don't know, I feel that it's just so him to do such a thing, being somewhat careless when he's excited and forgetting for a moment that there might be fans lurking about and watching his every move XD;;

I personally liked Taemin's 1920's look in the MV and had hoped that they wouldn't let him wear the extensions for too long. Those extensions were just... hilarious and tragic at the same time =-= And that would be putting it lightly on my part, believe me.

# 12: Jonghyun, I could always say your high fever has gotten the best of you and clouded your judgment, but there's no denying that you must've been extremely hurt and distraught with the breakup. Poor thing x-x [Then again, as I told you in regards to Alarm Clock's lyrics, Jonghyun doesn't seem like he's over Sekyung...]

And then there's his forever best friend who knows the truth about why Jieun broke up with him, and she also happens to be battling her feelings for him, too. It's tough to not take advantage of his vulnerable situation, and it sounds so wrong to be saying this, but I'm glad she did.

leave it to you to have twists like this. it's very fitting to the song though, so brava!

on another note, to make readers who imagined themselves as the protagonist of the story:
hey, he forgot his ex's birthday once, but he never forgot yours! so there must be a future for you two!!! lol.

It's funny, but when Key mentioned an ex, I immediately thought about Minho. I went to the next line and I gasped aloud when I saw his name; I didn't know if I should be happy or speechless about it! XD;; I kinda agree with Jjong's sentiment of wanting to see friends'/relatives' ex-lovers and see how they've turned out after breaking up with them. Well, sorry Jjongie, but Minho is one of those rare types that could never transform into a toad no matter how many years shall pass. Heaven has been good to him by giving him superior genes [what is with my vocabulary these days LMAO]. So... tough luck on this one? XD I wished for more backstory between Minho and the female lead, but I also understand at the same time that he's not the highlight of the story anyway so it's okay~

The relationship between the six characters is so lovely. Reading this feels like I'm almost intruding in their lives, and it was so easy to get into the flow and mood of things =3

I'm running out of words [says the person whose comments are split into two OTL], but as usual, you've done a good job with this piece ^o^ I apologize if most of them came off more as rambling, though ;~; That aside, looking forward to the future stories; do update when time permits~! ^^

Where to start... *___*

Key, you are so... you XD The overbearing, naggy, but surprisingly sweet you XD There's something about him in this comeback that's making me view him in an entirely new light--or maybe I just miss his blunt, cool self and I can't wait until he graces all of us with his presence during the comeback 8D His nagging seems toned down in this one; I'm guessing he and the female lead have been together for a long time that bickering even about the smallest things is just so normal and effortless for the both of them =3

Onew, oh Onew; I've been missing him for a while, but I'm glad to see he's doing well with their comeback teasers contrary to what rumors are saying. That aside, was his sangtae acting up when he asked his sister if she was pregnant? XD But he SO would be the type to drop heart-stopping questions during unguarded moments, so it kinda fits. The part where Onew said he couldn't do anything to Key when he asked for his sister's hand in marriage had me sniggering for some reason; probably because I imagined Onew wanting so badly to give him a taste of his ttakbam but couldn't, and all because of Key's piercing gaze [and solid conviction] XDD;;

TAEMIN~! X3 This... man-child LOL. How is it even possible to be a kid and an adult at the same time? He pulls it off so effortlessly despite the rebellious and cheeky undertones to his character, which I like. A lot. Probably more than I should, I dunno, but I really like it XD;; That part about the plushie made me go "Aww~!" and when he babbled out the secret, I kinda knew it was coming, but it was still shocking that he said all those things without even batting an eyelash O_o Taemin, don't worry; your noona cousin will still love you and you'll always be her number one monster, all flaws included XD
