The Lees

Mount Halla

 

They left the real estate agent after thanking Mr Lee and promised to revert to him by the next day. Kyuhyun signalled to Bunny not to talk about the price until they were in the car. 

Finally, in the car, Bunny said "Ohmygod!!! I thought it's worth very little!!!" 

"I knew it could fetch a good sum because of the location, but I was surprised that the agent offered so much!! That means, they saw the potential of it being in high demand for those who want to explore Gwangneung Forest".

"Maybe. And actually if they make an opening towards the entrance of the forest, it will be just a 5 minutes walk. I mean, do a proper walkway and beautify the side area that's facing the forest" 

"I believe they might have similar thoughts and wanted to develope a guest house. 5 years down the road, we should come back here with our kids, and stay at the guest house so that you can tell them that you were the previous owner of that property!" Kyuhyun chuckled. 

"Our 'kids'! You mean within 5 years, you want to have 2 kids?!!" Bunny looked at him with disbelief! 

"Why not? I want a baby after we get married, and we can have another baby 2 years later!" Kyuhyun . When she kept quiet, Kyuhyun said "Okay, let's go for lunch then we go to Ilsan" 

"I hope I can recognise and remembered them..."

"You will, once you see them" Kyuhyun said, to ease her mind. Once they meet up with her family, a big part of the jigsaw puzzle will be completed, and Bunny could finally move on. He wanted Bunny to be a happy and successful woman, not depressed by what happened in the past. 

He always thank God over and over again in his prayers that Bunny survived the fall and that he was the one who had found her. Now she has been a part of his life and he wanted Bunny to be with him forever, for the rest of their life! 

They had lunch at Myeongdong and after that, Kyuhyun drove to Ilsan, following the address that Donghae had passed to them. The area were full of landed property houses and after turning several corners, Sungmin suddenly recalled some images and told Kyuhyun to park in front of a white house around the corner ahead of them. 

"Kyu! I remembered my parents' house. Yes, it's this one!!" Sungmin said excitedly. 

Kyuhyun smile, because it was a good sign that Bunny started to recall about her family. Kyuhyun parked and they got out of the car. A woman was cutting some flowers from her small garden and looked up when Kyuhyun and Sungmin stepped towards her wooden gate. 

"Sungminnie!" she stood up while wiping her hand at her towel. "Where did you go? You were not at halmeoni's house when omma and appa went there and you didn't visit us too" she said, opening her wooden gate. 

"Omma? Ohhh omma!!!!" Bunny stepped forward and hugged her mother. 

"I called you and you didn't answer your phone!"

"Omma, it's a long story. I'll tell you later" and Sungmin turned to Kyuhyun "Omma, this is Kyuhyun, from Jeju" and "Kyu, this is my mother".

"Annyeong, ommonim" Kyuhyun bowed respectfully at Mrs Lee.

"Annyeong!" Mrs Lee smile at Kyuhyun. "Come in, come in. Minnie's appa is in his study room" and she led the way into the house.

Bunny felt like dejavu, as she stepped into her parent's home. Slowly, she beginning to remember images of this house. She remembered her screaming at her brother, she remembered her trying out cooking recipes that she learned ftom her mother and she remembered moving out to stay with her grandmother. 

"Minnie..." Kyuhyun whispered at her ear, with a teasing voice. "So I can call you Minnie too..." he chuckled. 

She pinched his waist "I like Bunny better..." she laughed but said in a whispering voice too.

Kyuhyun said "ouch" and laughed and playfully soothed the area where Bunny pinched him.

Mrs Lee called Mr Lee, and when he came out and saw his daughter, he said "Finally you appear! Where have you been? We have been try to call you"

"Appa!!!" Bunny hugged her father.
Sungmin was so happy that she remembered her parents and that they do care about her.  She then introduced Kyuhyun to her father and told her parents to sit down so that she could explained what had happened. Mrs Lee told them to sit while she quickly poured tea for them. 

Kyuhyun politely introduced himself, that he was a qualified doctor but worked as a full time mountain trekking guide, and started telling them that Sungmin had suffered a temporarily lost of memory when her head hit the boulders at the river, and it took quite a while for fragments of her memory to regain back.

Sungmin told them what happened which led her to fly to Jeju, her accident, her feeling of hopelessness, and why she ended up at the river. Mrs Lee closed due to surprised that her daughter went through the thought of taking her life, but was thankful that she was still alive.

Kyuhyun then told them what happened next, how amazing Sungmin has been, and how she painstakingly remembered bits and pieces of memories, especially after her backpack was found.

"Appa and omma, Kyuhyun had asked me to marry him, and I've decided to stay in Jeju with him" Sungmin looked at Kyuhyun and smile.

Kyuhyun got to his knees and asked them officially for Sungmin's hand "Abunim, ommonim, eversince Bunn... I mean, Sungmin, came into my life, she has captured my heart, she make me see what happiness means, and I have fallen in love with her and want her to be with me forever. Can I seek your blessing and permission to marry her?"

Mrs Lee started tearing and Mr Lee got up and assured Kyuhyun to get up and sit down back at the sofa.

"Thank you for asking us for blessings. We actually owe you so much, and we thank you for saving Sungminnie's life and let her stay with you. Yes yes of course you can marry her. You have our blessings" Mr Lee smile warmly, and Sungmin got up to hug her mother.

Kyuhyun thanked Mr Lee, and told him that Sungmin has met his family as well, and his family has also given their blessings.

Sungmin then told her father of her intention of selling halmeoni's house, as she has decided to stay in Jeju.

"Yes, abunim, I've took some photos of the house and surroundings, and we went to a real estate agent, and the agent...." he stopped because Bunny nudged him, trying to stop him from saying about the quote. Kyuhyun understood her and continued "the agent said they will look through and give us a quote". 

Mr Lee said "I really don't think that old rundown house and pathetic land will worth anything. Minnie, whatever the price quoted to you, you can take it and keep the money. Use it for your wedding preparation or keep it in your savings. You don't have to give me any of it"

"But Appa, you are halmeoni's son. You should get a portion of the sales" Sungmin informed him. 

"It will not worth much, trust me! And omma-ga has transferred the land deeds to you. You go ahead and keep the money" Mr Lee said. Actually the truth was, he didn't want to go to the trouble of finding a real estate agent and to sell the house. Too troublesome for him. Now that his daughter and her fiance would do it, he would gladly let them settle it. 

"Yes, Minnie, you are the rightful owner and since the land will not cost much, just keep the money for your future use. You just go ahead and settle the sale" Mrs Lee added. 

"Okay, we will check with the agent and settle it. Anyway, appa and omma, please do come for our wedding in Jeju. We will let you know the date and the details later. Oh yes, this is my new handphone number because my old handphone was stolen" Sungmin gave her phone number to her parents. She gave Kyuhyun's number to them too. 

"I'm so happy for you two!! And Minnie, be a good wife and please keep in touch with us okay" Mrs Lee  reached over to hold her hand. 

"Yes, omma!!" Sungmin smile happily. 

"Ohh noona! You are finally back!!" suddenly a young guy appeared at the door.  

Sungmin turned and seeing him, a flashed of memories came into her mind. They always play computer games together, laughed together, quarrelled together, watched movies together whenever she visited them, and threw things at each other too. It was her younger brother, Sungjin. She got up and ran to him "Jinnie!!" 

"Wohh wohhh, it seemed like you didn't see me for years!!" Sungjin laughed. 

"It's a long story Jin!!" Sungmin said happily. 

Noticing that there was another guy who was now looking at him, Sungjin looked at Kyuhyun and gave a surprised expression. "Ohhh, it's you! You were my trekking guide two years ago when I was at Jeju during my school trip!" 

"You met Kyuhyun before?" Sungmin said with surprise....
