The Beginning Of Our Story

Where My Heart Belongs To

Jiyong and Chaerin are on their bed, just cuddling while catching their breath after their long lovemaking. Jiyong is sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard while Chaerin is sitting and cuddling on Jiyong’s embrace. His arms wrap her body form behind tightly, just like he doesn’t want to let her go. Their bodies are still sweating, just covered by the thin blanket

Jiyong kisses Chaerin’s head while tightening his embrace. They really love the time like this, when they are together. Chaerin turns around, looking at his man and smiling. She gives him a little peck on his lips

“Why are you so quiet, Oppa?” she wipes Jiyong’s sweaty face. Jiyong just smiles, then he reaches her hand on his face and kisses it lovingly

“I need to regain my energy…, you drained me… remember?” he teases and Chaerin slaps his chest playfully, makes him burst in a laugh

“Bwo? It’s not like I’m the one who was having fun…” Chaerin protest and pouts, and Jiyong laughs again, then peck her pouting lips softly

“Right, we were both having fun…” he smiles teasingly again. And like usual, Chaerin is blushing immediately. Even though they did it thousand times, but Chae would always blushing like this every time Jiyong teases him, just like on their first time back then

Jiyong tightens his arms around her waist again, pulls Chaerin’s body closer and land his chin on her shoulder

“It will be really great if we could be like this every day…” Jiyong says softly. Chaerin could feel the sadness in his voice. She wants the same, of course. But all of these time, she just keep quiet, as she don’t want to add his stress. She knows, it’s not like Jiyong doesn’t want to take full responsibility of her and their daughter. It’s just the situation which doesn’t allow him

She puts her palms above him, caresses his hands, soothing him

“There will be the time for that, Oppa…” she says and leans her head on him. Jiyong feels his heart becomes heavy again. This is it…. Chaerin is really unbelievable. Even though she is the one who is suffering the most, but she never blame him, or ask for more from him, and it’s make him feels guilty even more

“I’m sorry… you deserve more than this, Chae… I should give you more…. But…,” Jiyong feels his chest tightened. “I’m sorry…” he buries his face on her shoulder, kissing it apologetically. Chaerin reaches his head, running her hand through his hair softly

“Stop saying sorry, Oppa… we both know it’s not entirely your fault…” she smiles, turnd her head to give him a little kiss. They chuckle a bit and fall silence for a while, until Jiyong breaks the silence

Jiyong smiles a bit, running his hands on Chae’s flat stomach. “How come your stomach is still this flat after carried Haru inside?”

Chaerin chuckles by his question. “I don’t know either…” she smiles, closes her eyes, feels relax by his touch

“It’s not only your stomach that weird” Jiyong says in a serious tone, makes her frowns

“Huh? What else?” she asks seriously. Then she feels Ji’s hand is creeping to her thighs, caresses it, makes her shiver up

“You still too tight for someone who gave birth to a 3,2 kilograms  and 50 centimeters baby….” he whispers and bites her earlobe lovingly. And Chaerin moans immediately

“G-good to you t-then…” she gasps, and Jiyong chuckles. He moves his hand and intends to touch his favorite part, but Chaerin snatches his hand and throws it away

“What are you going to do, Mr. Kwon?” she turns her head and glares at him. Jiyong laughs, her glare is remind him to their first met

“Yah! You’re laughing at me now? Oppa!!!” she pouts again, and about to stand up. but Jiyong holds her tight, keeps her on her current position

“Aigoo…, mian…., I just remember our first meeting, you glared me that way back then…” he kisses her shoulder again and lays his face there. Chaerin can’t help but smiles when her memory flies back to 5 years ago. The two keep cuddling, while their mind are recalling their old memories again

“I can’t believe it’s been five years….” Chaerin smiles

“Yeah..., five years. You know, it seems like yesterday when we did it for the first time….” he chuckles along with her. “And that day when you told me that you’re pregnant” he lets a small chuckle again, but this time feels a bit bitter

“Yeah…, and I still remember your reaction that time, Oppa…” she gives a small laughter too

“Yeah, and you almost runaway with our baby, thought that I would run from my responsibility….” He makes face, and Chaerin laughs. She cups his face and kisses him

“Mian…, I doubted you…”

Jiyong smiles again and kisses her back. “It’s ok….” then the two cuddling again, recall more memories….

Flashback

Chaerin is sitting in her room. Her body is sweating and trembling. It’s been a month since Jiyong’s graduation day, and they began dating. They keep in contact, but it’s getting rare this time lately.

Now, she’s sitting with pale face, holding something in her hand. She is afraid, confuse… after thinking whole day, finally she decide to meet him tonight. She text him, said that there’s something important to tell him. He said that he want to tell her an important things too and they decide to meet up at Jiyong’s apartment near their campus

Now Chaerin is standing nervously at Jiyong’s door. She is about to cry, but she does her best to hold it. She knocks his door, waiting for him to open it

Is he going to leave me? he just played with me?

Jiyong opens the door and finds Chaerin there

“Chae, I’m sorry… I’ve been busy these…” he cut his apology as he realizes how pale Chaerin is. He steps closer to her and reaches her face instantly. “Baby, are you ok? God…, you looked so pale. Are you sick?” he asks panicky. But Chaerin just silent, looking at him

“Chae, baby…, what’s wrong?” he’s getting more panic. Chaerin takes a deep breath and unintentionally saw inside his apartment is clear already. There’s no furniture as all has been packed. He’s moving….

Chaerin feels a big punch in her chest.

It’s true…, he’s going to leave me….

She is almost cry, but she doesn’t let it yet

“Chae.., please say something. What’s actually happening?” Jiyong shakes her shoulders

“Oppa….” she starts to speak. Jiyong pays full attention to her. “I…, I just want to tell you that…” her body starts to shake more

“That what, Chae?” Jiyong asks in rather panic tone. Chae gulps and continues

“I’m… Oppa…, I’m pregnant….” Her voice is weak and quivering, but it’s enough to gives Jiyong a heart attack

Jiyong is standing frozen. His mind is still processing what she just said.

Pregnant? She is pregnant? God…, what should we do?

He keeps silence as his tongue becomes stiffen all of sudden. But Chaerin senses it as a sign.., that he doesn’t want the baby…, and her

“Chae.., I… I can’t… I have to go…” Jiyong hardly speak, but he is failed. He can’t say what he wants to say and just makes Chaerin misunderstands him more

“No worries, Oppa… I won’t blame you…, you don’t have to stay” she looks down. Jiyong snapped back to the real world by her statement

“What do you mean?” he asks. His mind is to slow to process any words now

“I won’t burden you with this. It’s my fault too. I shouldn’t be that … easy… don’t worry, Oppa. You’ll never have to take any responsibility of the baby. I will take care of it. You can continue your life” and with that, she bows and run, leave him still confused by her words

Jiyong himself still too shocked. He is just standing at the doorway while processing what’s happening. And about 15 minutes later, he start to get the picture

“Is she going to…. !!!” he’s running immediately, try to find Chaerin. But she is no longer there.

“No, Chae…, please don’t abort it….” he whispers while running into Chaerin’s boarding house. But when he gets there, Chaerin is not there. Minji says that she said she would meet him and hasn’t come back yet

Jiyong becomes more panic. Minji has no idea where Chaerin is and asks what’s happen. He tells her, and she is as shocked as him.

Jiyong somehow doesn’t want her to get rid of the baby. He wants the baby, their baby….

On their panic state, Minji calls Daesung and he comes instantly. Jiyong tells the two the chronology and Minji tells him something shocking

“Find her, Oppa…. she must be so scared now…. It reminds her to her Omma” Minji cries and Jiyong get another shocking fact about Chaerin

“Omma? She has an Omma?”

“She had an Omma. But her Omma left her when she was 4” and Minji tells the story she knows. Jiyong’s heart becomes more aching.

“No! I’m not her so called Appa. I’ll take responsibility of them. For God sake, that’s my baby! I won’t abandon them no matter what… Please tell me, Minji-ah… where I could find her?” Jiyong asks frustratingly

Minji thinks deeply… she tries to remember Chaerin’s favorite place…. And….

“The park. She loves to see the sky from the park’s corner every time she faces hard time….”

And without second thought, Jiyong runs, searching for his Hunchae again

She must be so down now…, what if she gets rid of my baby…, what if she hates me after this….

His mind keeps playing thousand questions. He keeps running, and when he reaches the park, he sweeps every corner, looking for Chaerin. And after about 30 minutes, finally, he finds her…. 

She is sitting on the ground, hugging her knees and crying hard. It’s 1 am and there’s no one else at the park

He sigh in relieve and slowly walks to her, hugging her from behind. Chaerin is shocked at the beginning, but before she turns her head, Jiyong speaks to her

“Don’t you dare to runaway from me again, Hunchae….. I’m panic as hell”

Chaerin feels his warm breath and turn around. She looks at Jiyong’s scared face…

“Op-pa… why do you… you said you have to go…”

“And let you abort our baby? Hell no! I won’t let you do that!” he cuts her, makes her shocked

“W-what? Abort my baby? No… I won’t do that…” Chaerin cries again. “No matter what happen, with or without you, I’ll never kill my baby…” her body is shaking and tears flow unstoppably. Her cries get even harder. Jiyong steps forward and hugs her tight, let Chaerin cries in his chest, caressing her hair softly

“I’ll be with you…” he says calmly. Chaerin looks up and gives him a questioning look

“W-what did you just say, Oppa…” she asks weakly. Jiyong smiles and kisses her forehead lovingly, then wipes the tears in her cheeks

“I said, I’ll be with you. Means, we will raise our baby together…” he caresses her cheek, smiles reassuringly, makes her speechless.

Chaerin looks at him deeply with her teary eyes

“But…, you said…, you have to go…” she whispers. Jiyong reach her hands, kissing it

“Listen, Chae…” Jiyong squeezes her hands, looking deeply into her eyes “I don’t know how to tell you properly. But that’s true… I have to go. I’ve been listed and have to do my military service…” he says and Chaerin get shocked. Her eyes become teary even more. Military service… means he will be isolated for at least two years….

Jiyong senses her feeling. He cups her face gently. “But just believe me, Chae… I’ll come back to you. Maybe I can’t marry you now, but I will. I promise….” He explains. Chaerin can’t hold her tears anymore. But she tries to keeps listening his every word

“I really sorry for that, baby… but I’ll try my best to keep doing my responsibility. I won’t runaway, Chae… I won’t let you go through all of this alone…. even though I can’t stay by your side for the next two years, but I’ll always keep in touch with you. Please, Chaerin… hold on…, I’ll come back for you...” his tears start to flow. “Please, wait for me…”

Chaerin could see his sincerity through his eyes. She always sees that.

“But… what about you, Oppa? I mean, your parents….” She starts to be frightened.

“I’ll take care of that…, don’t worry…” He reassures her and kisses her forehead

End of flashback

 

“Hunchae… What would you do if I really left you that time?” Jiyong suddenly asks. His arms still circling around her body

“Hmm…, I would gave birth to her, and raising her like I do now…, but maybe in such a worse condition… you know…, without you supporting our life, I won’t be able to give all of this to Haru…” she leans her head on his chest, smiling. Jiyong keeps his words, he never leave them alone.

Jiyong is smiling too, remembering the time when he went to the army. He kept Charin’s pregnancy secretly from his parents. He knew his parent well. And he didn’t want to put Chaerin and their baby in a risk while he couldn’t be there to protect them. So, he kept them as a secret

While Jiyong lived on his military service-life, they couldn’t contact each other freely as he got limitation from using cellphone. So, they did it by letter. They wrote letters frequently. Chaerin always updated their baby’s condition. Sent him her check-up photos, report him every single movement of their upcoming baby.

On the other hand, Jiyong couldn’t hold his tears everytime he red Chaerin’s letters, and looked at the photos she sent

He blamed himself for not being able to be with her, accompany her during her pregnancy

He also supported her financially, as Chaerin got kicked from her collage and job after they found out her pregnancy. He asked Daesung, who was in the same duty with him to transfer the money to Chaerin. He always withdraw the money from his bank account and gave it to Daesung to be sent to Chaerin since he didn’t want his parent tracked his bank account and found Chaerin.

When Chaerin finally gave birth to their beautiful daughter, she sent him their photograph. The picture Jiyong always keeps in his wallet up until now. When he got that letter and picture back then, he was crying like a little boy lost his favorite toys. Daesung, who knew what happened was the one who comfort him there

And after that, he kept doing the same. Sent letters, called her every weekend, and anything like that, until he was released from the army. Haru was 1 year and a half and she could barely talked to him over the phone, made him run straight to them after he got released

Then, Jiyong took Chaerin and Haru to his parents, told them the truth. And like he expected, his parent got mad in a worst rage. They didn’t accept Chaerin and Haru. His mother even didn’t take a single look at them.

But Jiyong just loves them too much. So, they keep going on, up until now….

“I was afraid.., that you might abort her that time…” Jiyong smiles bitterly, tightening his holds on her

“I would never do it, Oppa….” Chaerin puts her palms above his. “I told you, rite? With or without you..., I’ll raise her and give her my best” Her heart is hurt again, remembering her mother…

“I know how to feel alone and unloved. I won’t let the same thing happen to my daughter….” Her voice is cracking now, and Jiyong realizes it. He kisses her head softly, soothing her.

Chaerin takes a deep breath and releases it

“You know, Oppa… that day, Omma took me to a festival. Omma always mean to me back then, so when she asked me to see a festival, I was jumping happily. I thought she loves me….” Chaerin sobs. “But I was wrong. That night, in the middle of the crowd, she let go of my hand…., left me alone…” her voice is getting weaker as her tears flow

“I was 4, crying and really afraid that time. I called her thousand times, but she never came….” She cries. Jiyong tightening his embrace, kissing and caressing her hair soothingly

“And I start to live in the orphanage, got several guardians, but they treated me bad…, and abused me sometimes when I didn’t do my job well” she continues. “Good thing that I got those scholarship so I could kept going to school” she smiles

“But then I ruined that…, I’m sorry…” Jiyong chuckles, followed by Chaerin

“It’s ok… that was worth...” she smiles again, turns to him and kisses him deeply. “I love you, Oppa… thank you, for never leave me alone….”

Jiyong smiles and kisses her again. “You’re very welcome”

 

 

The next morning,

Chaerin is busying herself, cooking breakfast in the kitchen while Jiyong and Haru still sleeping. She loves to cook for them, her family

She is cooking happily when she heard a phone ringing.

Jiyong’s phone

It laid on the couch in the living room. Chaerin walks to the living room and picks it. Her face turns pale when she reads the letters on the screen

Without she realized, Jiyong has been awake and walking towards her

“Who is that?” Jiyong asks, snapped Chaerin from her own thought. She turns around and gives him his phone. “Baby, are you ok?” he saw Chaerin’s pale face. Then he reaches his phone and know the reason

“Neh, Appa” he picks up the phone, talks to his Appa

“Where are you? Why don’t you go home when you got your day off?” His Appa asked calmly

“I’m with Chaerin and Haru now” Jiyong answers shortly. Then, the father and son just fall silence. “I’ll go home before my departure to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, Appa. I need time for my family” he said then closed the line and sighs….

“Oppa…” Chaerin calls her softly. She knows, his parents are still against them

“It’s ok… Have you done with the breakfast?” Jiyong makes a smile and change the topic. He doesn’t want to ruin his limited time with them. Chaerin knows it, and decides to does the same

“Uhm…, it’s ready” she miles too

“Then.., let’s wake Haru up” he said and reaches Chaerin’s hand, guiding her to their daughter’s room….

Chapter 7: I just reread the story to see if the new character has to have any criteria to fit into the role... But I think that literally anyone who looks good would fit. It could be Hyuna, Sohee, or anyone you could think of. But as someone already said, it'd be awesome too if you just let Kiko help Ji out with his family as a good (childhood) friend instead of wanting to marry him or something like that. Either way, I love this story and I'm super glad that you decided to come back with this. I know that it's going to go on just as awesome as it already is regardless of how you choose to continue.
