After returning back from their photoshoot, Jessica&Yuri immediately went back home,
or should i say, individual homes before their actual day of marriage.
Well, they wanted to spend their time with their parents before leaving them to live with each other.

Yuri's Side

Flipping open the main door of Mrs Kwon's mansion, big and wide.

"OMMMAAAAAAA" shouted Yuri happily as she threw her luggage aside and ran into the house.

Mrs Kwon, on the other hand was shocked to see Yuri running into the house,
throwing herself into Mrs Kwon's naturally opened arms.

"OMMAAAAA"
"I missed you!" smiled Yuri happily as she threw Mrs Kwon yet another warm tight hug.

"Wow"
"Whats wrong?"
"Why are you back so suddenly Yul?"
"Thought i wont be seeing you till the day of marriage" teased Mrs Kwon as she broke the hug

"WHAT!"
"How could i be so ungrateful right?" laughed Yuri as she went over to pull her luggage in and settled down on the sofa in the living room.
"Here, omma"
"Sit down" said Yuri as she patted the seat beside her on the sofa, motioning for Mrs Kwon to take a seat.
"I've bought something for you"

Opening her suitcase, she fished out 1 whole big bag of items.
With an awkward smile and a scratch on her head, Yuri started taking the items out one by one.

"This wine-red scarf, its for you omma"
"Bought it when i was at Maldives with Sica"
"And this, a pair of sunglasses, i thought it would suit you"
"And.."

As Yuri trailed on with her mumblings of gifts, Mrs Kwon dropped a tear of happiness.
Looking how much Yuri had done for her, remembered her even though she didnt do much as a job of a mother.

"And this!"
"A very precious bracelet i bought from Maldives.." stopped Yuri as she turned her head up, facing Mrs Kwon.
"Wae..?"
"Why are you crying omma..?"

"Aniya.." said Mrs Kwon as she wiped her tears away with a smile.
"Its just.. i feel that i havent been a good mother.."
"And you're treating me so nice, remembering me even when you're out overseas, taking your wedding photo Yuri"
"Im so sorry i've abandoned you.."
"Really am.." sobbed Mrs Kwon sadly

Before saying anything, Yuri just smiled and hugged Mrs Kwon.
While patting her back, Yuri spoke.

"Omma.."
"Hajima"
"Dont cry anymore, its okay"
"I didnt blame you at all, or probably after we patched up"
"Given that kind of circumstances, you probably did one of the best choices that you could"
"Im sure" smiled Yuri assuringly
"Plus, at least you came back for me, right?"
"You made an effort, thats all i know, and need to know"
"So dont cry" said Yuri as she broke the hug and wiped Mrs Kwon's tears off with her thumb.

"I just cant help it Yul.." sobbed Mrs Kwon bitterly
"I cant help it but think how bad i was.."

"Omma.."
"You know, you're my one and only family member now"
"If i dont forgive you, dont treasure you, dont cherish you"
"Who's gonna do that then?"
"Plus, other than Sica and you, i dont have anyone else to cherish"
"And love, and care about"
"You stand an important role in my life"
"Dont forget this alright?"
"Forget about the past, stop living in it"
"Step out of it, enter the present, anticipate the future"

"Probably you're right Yul"
"I should right?"
"To make your life much better" smiled Mrs Kwon

"Of course you should"
"Now now.."
"Omma, if you could"
"Make me a homecooked dinner"
"I havent had one ever since i was in the orphanage" pouted Yuri with puppy eyes
"And, i wanna sleep over with you tonight"
"Or from now, till the day of my marriage" winked Yuri as she pulled her luggages up the staircase.

"You sure about this Yul?"
"What about Jessica?" asked Mrs Kwon with a puzzled look.

"Sica?"
"She's back with her dad" chuckled Yuri as she dragged her luggages into the room.

After an hour, Yuri came down to the kitchen,
changed into her comfortable clothes.
Silently walking up to Mrs Kwon, Yuri put her arms over Mrs Kwon's shoulders and gave her a light peck on her cheeks.

"Yul?" called Mrs Kwon shocked at Yuri's action.
"Why.. did.. you..-" said Mrs Kwon but was cut in by Yuri.

"Omma, why?"
"Dont like it?" pouted Yuri
"I've been dreaming of days like this before i met you"
"So now, i just wanna make it true" smiled Yuri happily as she picked up the cucumber laid in the sink.
"Cucumbers?"

"Yup" smiled Mrs Kwon
"Its good for your skin and its healthy too"
"Anyway, im really happy you know Yul"
"For you being here with me, and found your love" said Mrs Kwon while cutting the carrots

"I know right" giggled Yuri cheekily
"Need some help on these?" asked Yuri while she pointed towards the ingredients laid in the sink

"Would be nice if you could"
"If not, dinner would be served only by midnight" laughed Mrs Kwon

Mrs Kwon's POV

Everything just felt so surreal.
I've never expected anything like this to happen.
Like me living past my cancer, Yuri acknowledging me.
And now?
Yuri's being so nice to me like there was nothing behind us.
Guess its all thanks to Jessica?
Actually, to think back, she really helped us a lot.
Or probably at least me?

End of Mrs Kwon's POV

Later that night, while Yuri was lying beside Mrs Kwon on the same bed,
Mrs Kwon brushed off Yuri's fringe and caressed her hair.

"Yuri-ah.."
"Did you know, omma is really thankful to you?"
"That you're here, acknowledged me"
"You didnt know how much all these mean to me.." confessed Mrs Kwon with love as well as gratitude in her eyes.

"Omma.."
"You're starting again.."
"Dont, you know dont"
"You're my omma afterall, its right for me to acknowledge you"
"So dont, dont say words like this"
"And i didnt regret acknowledging you"
"I think i'll regret if i dont acknowledge you" smiled Yuri

"Nevertheless Yul.."
"Omma's really glad you found someone you love"
"Jessica's really a nice girl"
"You must take great care of her alright?"

"Of course"
"You dont have to tell me that omma"
"I'll definitely do that"
"I cant lose her to anything"
"You know, we went to visit the donor's family before we went for our photoshoot omma"
"Its like, so sad to see that the boy and his grandmother living in the broken down houses.."

"Really?"
"So did you or Jessica do anything?" asked Mrs Kwon

"We did"
"We gave them money before we left"
"And Jessica instructed butler lee to bring grocceries for them every few days and to prepare the donor's son Seung Lee for school"
"While Jessica would personally head down to pass them some allowance" said Yuri

"Thats great"
"Or at least, you all should do something like that"
"You know, a heart is something not many would donate"

"We know.."
"Thats why we are trying our best to help out as much as we could"
"Dont worry about it omma"
"We are old enough to handle things on our own" smiled Yuri assuringly
"And now, should we get some sleep?"
"Im getting sleepy" yawned Yuri as she placed her hand over to cover her wide and opened mouth.

"Alright then"
"Goodnights Yul"
"May sweet dreams be with you"

Jessica's side

Jessica entered the Jungs mansion, dragging her heavy luggages behind her.
Spotting Jessica's entrance, butler lee immediately went over to her to help her out.

"Welcome back Ms Jessica" smiled butler lee as he took over Jessica's luggages from her hand

"Thanks butler lee"
"Where's appa?"
"Is he back in Korea or not yet?" asked Jessica as she was massaging her sore hands

"Oh, Mr Jung?"
"He's not back yet"
"He'll be back by the evening" said butler lee as he glanced over at the clock
"I think he's on the plane now" added butler lee

"Is that so?"
"Okay then" smiled Jessica
"I'll be in the kitchen, shall prepare something for appa"
"Do call me when he's coming back!"

"Okay sure Ms Jessica"

Walking into the kitchen, Jessica was mumbling to herself.
Thinking of what to cook for Mr Jung.

"Hmm.."
"What should i cook?"
"Steak?"
"Spaghetti..?"

While Jessica was meddling with the ingredients in the kitchen,
an idea suddenly struck her head.

Jessica's POV

Maybe i should cook appa's favourite dish?
From what i've remembered from young when omma cooked for him..?
Hmm..

What was that stew called again..?
Think Jessi think!

...
...
...

Ah!
Its called the bean paste stew!
Shall go google it out now!

End Jessica's POV

Jessica quickly fished out her iphone and started tapping on the skin furiously,
trying to get hold of the recipe.
Few minutes later, she've finally gotten the recipe and started preparing the ingredients.

"Hmm.."
"Ingredients i need.."
"6 oz of beef, sliced, 3 cups soup stock (Korean beef or anchovy or a low sodium store-bought version),1/2 onion, chopped"
"1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic, 1/2 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and slices, 1 small potato, cut into small chunks"
"1 green chili pepper, thinly sliced, 3 tablespoon soybean paste, 1 tablespoon chili pepper paste, 1 tsp chili pepper flakes"
"1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 cake of tofu, cut into small chunks and lastly, 1 scallion, chopped" mumbled Jessica as she slowly took the ingredients out while reading it out.

Before she started preparing the stew, Jessica went over to wash the rice&put it into the rice cooker.

Jessica's POV

Its my dinner with love..
Hope appa will love it.
I know appa missed omma a lot..

End of Jessica's POV

After putting the rice into the rice cooker and setting it to cook,
Jessica went on to slice the beef, chop the garlic, cut the zucchini into half lengthwise and slices as well as cutting potato in small chunks. Next, she started slicing the green chilli pepper, cutting the tofu in small chunks and lastly, chopping the scallion.
As soon as she got all the ingredients in placed, Jessica started sauting the beef until in the soup pot.
Few minutes later, after the beef had turned brown, Jessica started adding the 3 cups of soup stock, onions, garlics, zucchinis, potatoes, and peppers and left it to boil. After boiling, Jessica added soybean paste, chili pepper paste, pepper flakes, tofu and left the pot to boil over a high heat again.

While waiting for it to boil, Jessica plopped down onto a stool in the kitchen and started playing entertaining herself by playing some games on her iphone.
Well, Jessica and Yuri basically had an agreement that none of them should contact each other during their stay at home.
The objective of it is not to be distracted so that they can spend quality time with their parents before moving out after their marriage.
So instead of texting or calling Yuri, Jessica just sat down and started entertaining herself with her phone.

Around 15 minutes later, bubbles started bubbling in the pot.
Jessica immediately stood up and went over to the stove and turned it off before adding the chopped scallions.
Right immediately Jessica's done, she glanced up at the clock and smiled to herself satisfied.

"Everything's in place now.." mumbled Jessica as she placed the pot on the dining table
"Now, lets see.."

Jessica then went over to the fridge and brought out kimchi, laid it nicely on a plate before bringing it to the table.
While doing so, butler lee scurried into the kitchen quickly and told Jessica that Mr Jung is already outside the mansion but will come in like a few minutes later because its raining outside.
A little inconvenient to move about.

"Its raining outside?" asked Jessica surprised as she peeped out of the kitchen
"Wow, i didnt know it was"

"But it is" smiled butler lee
"I'll get going"
"Have to welcome Mr Jung back home" said butler lee as he walked over to the main door.

As soon as butler lee left, Jessica quickly scooped two bowls of rice, and laid it nicely on the dining table together with the utensils.
Few minutes later, Mr Jung entered the dining room with a wide smile.

"Hey Sooyeon" called Mr Jung
"What are you doing?"

"I was cooking dinner for you appa"
"You know, im getting married with Yul soon"
"Will be moving out"
"Thats why"
"Cooked your favourite dish that i could remember when i was young" grinned Jessica confidently

"My favourite.. dish..?" said Mr Jung, tone changed slightly mad as he walked over to the dining table.

Looking at the dish on the table, Mr Jung exploded.

"WHO ASKED YOU TO COOK THIS?!"
"YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS TO COOK THIS?!" shouted Mr Jung angrily as he flipped over the whole pot of stew.

Jessica, who was standing by the table was stunned by Mr Jung's sudden outburst while the pot of hot stew scalded her arms.
Holding in her tears, Jessica spoke up timidly.

"Why.. appa..?"
"I thought.. you would.. like..-" said Jessica, trying to explain herself but was cut off by Mr Jung.

"WHO TOLD YOU I LIKE THIS?!"
"WHO?!"
"YOU DONT EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO COOK THIS!"
"NOW THAT YOU'VE COOKED THIS, DO YOU EVEN THINK I'LL APPRECIATE IT?!" boomed Mr Jung loudly with teary eyes.

The dish, was cooked by his beloved wife.
But can no longer taste it anymore.
Mr Jung doesnt want to be reminded of the past,
doesnt want to be reminded of how things actually ended.
Mr Jung didnt want to hate Jessica anymore after witnessing what Jessica had done for him ever since the departure of his wife.
However, Mr Jung just couldnt control himself while looking at that.

"Appa.."
"Chaeseonghapnida.." apologised Jessica as she slowly picked up the broken pieces of pot, wiping the mess.
"I didnt know.. really.." whispered Jessica sadly as she held onto her tears.

"GET OUT NOW!" yelled Mr Jung as he pushed Jessica out of the house
"I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU!"
"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT NOW!"

"Appa..?" called Jessica as she got pushed out of the house, shut outside in the heavy rain.

Watching from the outside, Jessica saw butler lee trying to persuade Mr Jung to let Jessica in but was pushed away by Mr Jung as he stormed back up into his room.
Looking at that, Jessica walked out of the mansion dejectedly.

Jessica's POV

What have i done wrong again today..?
I cant cook that stew for appa..?
I dont have any rights to cook it..?
Whats wrong..?

Appa, i thought you missed it..
No one had cooked this for you ever since omma had left..
Im sure..
Is it because it reminds you of omma?
Thats why you shouted at me?
Because im the cause of omma's death..?

Now that i've been chased out of the house with nothing,
where should i go?
No phone, no wallet no nothing?
But in this cold rainy day, drenched inside out.
With dishevled hair..

Probably at this time, i could go over to the Hans River to clear my mind out?
And to probably also imagine the life i'll be having with Yuri..
Its been a long time since i did that..
Just cant wait to start my new phase of life with Yuri..
Or should i say, OUR new phase of life.

Thank goodness, i still have Yuri by my side.
I love you, Yul.
