41 Trust is our love...

The Strength of Our Strings

Shin Hye nailed her looks during the Shanghai International Film Festival, as Min Ho wished she looked like a goddess floating on the red sea of the carpet. He couldn't help but be happy. Shin Hye was exquisite and her skin exude so much radiance. She returned earlier in the morning as she needed to study for her exam. He on the other hand was busy as well as he flew to Beijing for a fan meet.

During the fan meet, he couldn't help but get excited at every clip of him and her. 'It's the beginning of our true feeling.'  He thought as he watched the clips with his fans. What surprised him the most was the picture of him at Han River, he immediately recognize the picture. It was the day that Shin Hye ran away. 'How...?' He thought. 

He was supposed to stay one more day in Beijing but the thought of Shin Hye made him pushed his Manager to get earlier flight. He needed to be with her. 

"How did that picture of mine in Han River got into the clip?" He asked his manager during his flight.

"Well, actually, Shin Hye send it to me." He said. "I thought it would look good to put in your clip. It shows them who you really are."

"THat's why I love her hyung. I wish I could bring her along but I rather hide her. It's gives me some sort of excitement as well," He giggled mischievously.

"Yah... I don't want to know about your private life." His manager scolded him and pretended to sleep.

As they reached the airport in Korea, it was quite calm. He liked it somehow. He wanted to grab some hot coffee before they left so he went to the nearby cafe in the airport. He saw newspaper with Shin Hye beautiful picture on it. He heard two foreigners were discussing about her.

"You see, she has bloomed beautifully." The one wearing red shirt said, "If I have her as my girlfriend, I'll die happy."

"Robert, before she goes to you, she probably will choose someone sensible like me," Protested his friend.

"Nik, you are not into lavishly beautiful girl. You like plain simple Jane. Look at her chest, rarely you could find someone like her. I read also she's all natural. That's like added bonus." The one with the name Robert spewed his words recklessly.

Min Ho wanted to deliberately threw his hot coffee at the two men but his manager warned him from afar as he caught his insedious look. He then turned around and remembered that Shin Hye had been craving for sandwich for the past two days. He ordered two for them to eat at their home.

"Why are you ordering sandwiches these lately?" HIs manager asked as he drove Min Ho.

"I think Shin Hye is stress this lately and she kept on wanting sandwiches. I called her last night, she seemed exhausted. She might eat more. Studying had made her hormone crazy."Min Ho explained. "Thank goodness I get to eat other food during at Beijing." He said. "Look!" Min Ho shoved his phone to his Manager's face to show Shin Hye arrival picture in Shanghai, "She has gotten skinnier. I rather her have some flesh but she looks prettier everyday. She excites me more and more each day..." Min Ho kept on babling about his Shin Hye.

His manager parked the car on the side of the road and stared at Min Ho, "Sulma....Keunde " His eyes widened.

"No, she promised she will work out more. She is afraid of gaining weight but I think she is getting skinnier. There are times she felt hungry and only ate a little. I think stress is getting to her. " Min Ho kept on talking.

"Ya! Pabo! She could be pregnant!" His manager pointed out. 

"Neh?" Min Ho responded as if he was hit on his head with a heavy hammer. "I don't think so... we are so careful about that." Min Ho recalled. "Besides Hyung... She's not gaining any weight..."

"Well... How can a man be this innocent! Do you know that protection only offers about 97-99% effectiveness." His manager explained.

Min Ho was startled, he was blank but a few minutes later, "s!" He blurted out.

"Neh?" His manager was confused and at the same time offended.

"I meant, the two men earlier, they were talking about how big her s were." Min Ho explained. "I noticed them too, I thought..." He was about to say something absurd... 

"Yah! Min Ho! I do not want to talk about the size of your wife's s. It is something to be proud about but just keep it to yourself. I am telling you that..."His manager tried to reason.

"Hyung! Remembered, we read that article, women's s grew fuller when they are pregnant. For the baby..." Min Ho reminded him.

"OMG!" His manager's head was heavy and it felt like it was about to crack.

Min Ho on the other hand, smiled happily thinking soon he was going to have his own child. 'What if we have twins?' He smiled to himself.

***********

Shin Hye was tired still. She couldn't understand why that lately she felt that she was unbearably exhausted. She was very relieved that Min Ho's schedule didn't match hers yesterday. Right after she arrived to their nest, all she wanted to do was sleep. She was resting the entire day. 

"I don't feel so good," She told her manager on the phone when he was checking on her.

"I think you are just exhausted. Your schedule is clear for these two days up until your exam. Use the time to rest." He adviced her. "Do you need anything?"

"Nope... There are plenty of food here. I'm all covered. Min Ho is coming home soon. I'll rest and study later." She said softly.

"Kare... If you really don't feel well, please call me." He sounded worried.

"Arasso yo Oppa..." She ended their call.

Shin Hye flopped on to their bed again. Feeling exhausted still, in the middle of the revision, she fell asleep.

**************

Min Ho tried his best to remain incognito as he wanted to go to the pharmacy shop. No one recognize him. He quickly bought what he needed. As he wanted to run to his van, he bumped into someone. 

"Min Ho hyung?" Said a familiar voice as he helped him up.

"Ah... Yong Hwa." He greeted.

"Are you okay?" Yong Hwa asked.

He nodded, "Yes, just buying supplies..." He answered shortly hiding his item in his jacket.

"I see... How's Shin Hye?" Yong Hwa asked.

"She didn't contact you?" Min Ho speculated. "Yes!!! She she's focus on me only!"  He thought happily.

"Ah.. we did a little bit. I just don't want to disturb her with her finals coming in." Yong Hwa answered cooly.

"Yup, she's busy studying. Anyway, I have got to get going now..." Min Ho said impatiently.

"Oh.. One more thing... I didn't know you two were married..." Yong Hwa pointed out.

"Kege... hmm.. Yes.. but how did you?" Min Ho stammered a little bit.

"I don't care about that .. Hyung but I do hope you cherish her." Yong Hwa said sternly.

"Look... I don't mean to rub you in the wrong way. We had our reasons why we had to keep it quiet.  Believe me, I want to announce it to the entire world but both of our agency didn't think it was a good idea. Shin Hye wanted to keep it a secret too and with the recent incident, I want to keep her safe too. Especially..." Min Ho said full-heartedly but stopped when he nearly spilled the beans.

Yong Hwa sighed, he realized that he was also pushing Min Ho, he had always been quite and reserved but when it came to Shin Hye, he was rather unreasonable. "I'm sorry hyung, I guess I was just being emotional" he tried to hold his emotion in. "When I heard from Min Hyukkie that she was attack last time, I thought it was your fan... But it turned out they came from several fandoms including ours. It just hurts me and someone shared an article about you and... I thought, finally I had a chance again..." He stopped going on further as he realized that they were out in an open public. The rush hour would begin in an hour or two. "Please... take good care of her..." He finally ended. Min Ho just nodded not wanting to aggravate the situation. He understood Yong Hwa's feeling as they had been good friends for a very long time.

"What happened?"Asked his manager as he witnessed him and Yong Hwa from afar.

"Just a friendly greeting." Min Ho answered shortly. "Kaja Hyung!!!" He instructed his manager.

**********

Shin Hye woke up feeling a bit refreshed. She realized that she had been having some cramps as well. "Is it that time already?" She checked her phone's calendar. "It could be... It's almost that time." She said lazily and flopped back to their bed and stared at the ceiling. She tried to recall what she had studied. "Aishh...." She said in frustration. "I am ageing..." She admitted sadly as she stood up. She went to the bathroom and washed her face as she planned to grab some drink and brought it up to study room.

"Shin Hye!" Min Ho peeked into their bathroom.

"Eeekkk!" She squeeled startled. "Yah..." She scolded him. Min Ho immediately rushed into the bathroom and hugged her.

"I miss you so much." He told her.

"I thought you said you'll come back tomorrow," She said calmly.

"Yah! Are you not happy seeing me rushing and running to you?" He said a tad offended by Shin Hye's lack of enthusiasm.

"Ani..." She inhaled. She was looking tired and pale. "I said I just thought... Of course, I am happy.." She said and looked at him as she smiled happily. Min Ho could see his wife looks exhausted. She tip toed and kiss him on his cheek. 

"I brought you something you have been liking this lately..." He tried to excite her.

"Really?" It was successfull. 

"I'll show it later, I need to use the toilet." He said.

*********

"That is a delicious sandwich," Shin Hye said feeling very satisfied. Min Ho loved seeing her happy everytime after a good meal. Shin Hye sure loved her food a lot and Min Ho liked that the fact she has really good appetite. 

"I noticed for the past two days, you have been eating sandwiches. It kinda remind me the time when we were in LA." He recalled the scene where he handed her a sandwich. He liked that scene as it showed that he was taking good care of her. He remembered how his heart fluttered. 

"I think it's my stress food." She answered as she smiled. "Ah.. it's almost time for Se Youngie Eonnie's show. I want to watch it." She said as she stood up cleaned up their table and did the dishes. She then joined Min Ho who was already in front of the television. 

"If you were to be in this show, who do you think you will be paired with?" Min Ho asked as he put his arm around her. 

"Hmm... Yong Hwa already did his with Seo Yeon. Hmmm...." She tried to think hard. "I don't know, they are very random. They could have paired me with any Japanese Idol also or Chinese." She wondered. "How about you?" She asked him.

"No one but you..." He said as he looked at her and stared into her eyes.

Shin Hye laughed. "You do know it's like a contractual thing right, you have to just accept who they pair you up with." She explained.

"That's why I don't like to do any variety shows. They tend to create crazy unnecessary scandals." He explained to her and smiled. "I rather keep my scandals only with you." He said as he closed in to kiss her. 

Shin Hye suddenly hold her stomach,"Aish.. this cramp is worsening." She said.

"Cramp?" Min Ho looked worried. "Is it that time?" He looked a bit frustrated as well. 

"Yah..." Shin Hye laughed, "You should at least hide your disappoinment. You have to practice to hold your desire at times, Chakgya... If i give birth in the future, it'll be a long time..." He kissed her before she finished her sentence.

"So we can discuss stuff like that?" He recalled his line from 'The Inheritors.'

"Ani!" She protested realizing that she had opened a pandora box with him. "I'm going to the toilet." She announced. Min Ho smiled looking at her still blushing by his teasing. 

Min Ho continued watching the television, a commercial appeared. It was his wife seemingly on a bed, "Should we order pizza, Oppa?" she said her line. Min Ho's eyes widened. "What was she thinking doing a very y commercial!" He worked up. 

"Yah.. It wasn't that y," She appeared. 

"It looks like you and this Oppa is on bed." He pointed out.

"Oppa is you," She stuck her tongue out. Min Ho rolled his eyes and walked to the toilet. "No!" She yelped. MIn Ho turned to face her. "I was going to tell you, something was wrong with the toilet. I can't flush it... Use the toilet upstairs." She instructed.

"I'll just use here and check it," He explained non-chalantly. Shin Hye pressed her lips together. "Come on... We are married now." He tried to calm her. Shin Hye just kept quiet as she felt uneasy about it. 

"Right... I have to get used to this soon..." She told him.

**************

Min Ho's birthday was the next day. Shin Hye was preparing herself for the Mamonde fan signing event. Min Ho was out earlier as he had to attend a meeting at his agency and some photoshoot. She was looking for the lipstick that Min Ho used. She went to look around their room, at her bed side and bedside table,she then went to his side and looked through his bedside table's drawer. 

"There you are..." She said as she took it but something else caught her attention. She took the thing out and examined it. She was a bit uneasy of the thing she found. "What...? Why?" She looked at it hard. Her mind was toiling with so many rushed thoughts. Her phone rang indicating her manager had arrived. 

She put it back and stared at the drawer. "Shin Hye... Get hold of yourself... There's explanation to everything." She tried to calm her heart by recalling the time Min Ho confessed at times he forgot to tell her things. 'Men are like that...'  She remembered what Manager Jun had said. 

She was going to cry again, light tears rolled and she immediately took a hold of herself. She quickly wiped of her tears and fixed her make-up.

She went down the stairs and headed to her van.

"Are you ready?" said the person.

"Neh?" Shin Hye looked up, "Where's JunWon Oppa?" She asked.

"He had to run an errand for the boss, something about your commercial deal." Jun Won's assistant explained. 

Shin Hye forced a smiled and nodded.

 

Trust....

A word...

Can turn your life like a roller coaster...

Don't break it... 

It hurts....
