And Then, There was You

She knew her childhood was over when she fell asleep on the couch and woke up on the couch, too. She used to watch her favorite detective DVD series until she carelessly drove off to sleep. She still remembered how her father used to carry her bed back then. When she woke up, she was already in her comfortable pajama pair.

She stirred around while rubbing her eyes gently. Hold on, she talked to herself. She was hundred percents sure that this couch she was sleeping on was not where she originally fell asleep at. She lifted her sight. The varnished interior, those books in the bookshelves... Wait.

          “Good evening, Miss Han.” A deep familiar voice made her shiver.

Jongin?

         “Did you carry me here? I know I wasn’t here.” She sat herself up to get a clearer view of him. Looking at her fiancé like this... crap. She should worry about her face right now.

Jongin pulled a wry smile. “Thank me later.”

She puffed her cheeks before reaching her bag away from her position. She took out her orange mirror to see her reflection.

What scared her the most was not her ugly-bed-face. What scared her the most was when she did not understand herself or when she was not sure what she wanted. The fact that her pride had been buried deep down together with Jongin's rejection earlier and finding herself trying again.

            “Seriously, you are supposed to go home, Han Huisoo.” He did not want to sound too mean so he added, “At least be with Inhwa right now.”

She escaped a deep sigh. No... not again. She did not need his other rejection. “Did you eat?” She tried saying something.

          “We both  know that’s not how you should respond to my previous thought.” He quickly replied.

When he got the clue that she would not respond, he drifted his attention back to his laptop, scribbling some random lines on his pc tablet.

The next two hours was spent in complete silence. But the atmosphere was slowly getting fine although he still occupied himself with report and data while she scattered around his bookshelves, finding interesting books to read.

            “...2012’s Most Influential People.” She murmured, enough for him to hear.

He subconsciously smiled.

          “You know, Jongin..” She spun around to meet him, “Because most likely you're gonna be the person with whom I'll spend the rest of my life later, I'm telling you this...” She sat herself down to a chair, “I want to be so famous in the future that if you Google my name, it will reply: ‘As if you don’t know her.’ ”

As much as he wanted to stay concentrated, he chuckled dryly at her ridiculous wish. “Well, then you're making the right decision to marry me.”

           “Oh, right! I never really thought of it!” She laughed elegantly, “And you know, right before I die, I'm going to say, ‘I left ten million dollars on the wall behind the cupboard’ or something that will drive my children and grandchildren mad..” She pulled her lips inward, feeling satisfied of her idea.

          “You mean 'our children'.” It was to her surprise that he snapped out of nowhere, so she was silenced in a very awkward way.

He smirked. “What? You don't plan to have children with another man, right?”

         “Hey, I didn't say that,” She slumped her back to the couch, “Well, if that’s want you want, alright. We’ll have children of our own.” She said cockily.

Never had she thought there would come a time where she and Jongin could talk about this matter so comfortably. Marriage, children, were all too scary for her to discuss with him. What she meant was, it was already hard for her to picture what their marriage would be like, let alone discussing about that with him.

She took a fast glance, not daring to continue the conversation. Jongin was already having his charcoal shirt’s sleeves rolled up to both of his elbows. His swolled eye bags did look attracti

Chapter 29: Wow thankyou....
Didn't expect to see your updates again really soon.
This is the very first time to see the vulnerable Jong In. Under his hard and tough shell, he's really a soft guy, he has emotions.
Seems like his relationship with Huisoo is getting stronger....

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: I love you so much for updating again. I can't wait for the next chapter to come 🥲

This is the kind of relationship that everyone want. A healthy communication and huisoo and jongin have it. They both are so gentel to each other, very comforting and understanding. I got a bit sad when jongin started sobbing but also happy to see that he's very open in front of huisoo. I remember when their relationship was push and pull it was so frustrating and now here they are communicatiing everythinf 🥲🥲🥲 i feel like a proud mother ☺️

Their small gestures bring smiles to my face. Like him going on a shopping with her while holding hands or when he touches huisoo's face in the car. They're sooo sweet.
I'm a bit surprised they still don't share a room *wink* *wink* haha don't mind my ert mind 🙃

Anyways, thank you for updating. I hope next chapter won't be too far away 😁

Chapter 28: Omg can't believe my eyes with the notification from you...
Thank you for comig back again after such a long long time.....
Such a great story as always, really....
Huisoo, she's the real angel coming down to the earth, having the hardest (joined) responsibility to take care of this special family with all of their dramas....
Having to deal with Jongin himself is sometimes quite draining emotionally, but here she has to take care of the whole family, with sincerity. She treats them like they are her own family.
She really has a big heart....
I hope things will get better for the siblings...

I hope to see your next updates soon....

Chapter 28: OMG YESSSS YOU UPDATED! i saw it last night but it was too late and i needed to sleep and now i just finished reading the last 3 chapters to remind me what happened.

I'm glad jongin was on huisoo's side tho it was his brother insulting his fiance. It's nice to see those two got each other's back considering their relationship didn't start smooth. And huisoo is soooo gentle towards his siblings. I love how she handles each of their problems. She's not a mother yet but this will be like a practice for motherhood 😂
I just love these two. They have like the healthiest relationship ever after he proposed her for the 2nd time.
I just couldn't wait to see more of them and all i can say is i have to be patient. Thanks a lot for updating i love this chapter so much. I hope you'll still continue the story till the end 😊

Chapter 27: Hello author i'm your 'old' reader from 9 years a ago. I saw this story was being updated so i opened and decided to reread every chapter to find out there was no update 😭😭😭😭😭

But honestly i just realized that my opinion for this story has never changed since 9 years ago. I still love it so much. It took me less than 48 hours to wrapped it up and it still gives me the same feelings. The characters are just too realistic. There is not even 1 annoying character. Not even jongin's ex. The conflicts are just exactly like what people experince in real life. I'm sad and happy and frustrated just like how they feel in the story. I'm glad you revealed how she ended up becoming jongin's fiance. But s till would like to read some more of their intimate moments as they only decided to start over again for the last couple of chapters, dont you think we need more of jongin-huisoo's moments? 😁

9 years ago i was just a young girl who was obsessed with exo and i still am an exol in 2024. A lot of things have happened in life and i hope youre life treats you well too. I wish to see the ending of this fanfic as i've been waiting for so long for the update haha 😅
And im sure there are some other readers that agree with me. Please please please it's gonna bother me for life to not know the ending of Never Enough 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
