A Second Chance

Harlo! Is this called adouble update? I guess not since its not on the same day. But anyways... I may another update coz of two things. One, I couldn't update for about two weeks after this. Two, I have writers' block for Wanted: Perfect Husband and most of my subs here sub there too. So I hope this chapter could make up for that. :/ Enjoy reading!

 

 

I sat there, staring at the bathroom door. She’s been in there for quite sometime. Did she faint? Curious, I started walking to the bathroom to knock on the door. Before I could even take another step, she came out. She was looking down so I wasn’t sure if she was okay. She clutch onto the silver box tightly on her hand as she closes the door.

She pursed her lips and looked up slowly. As her eyes met mine, I saw that her eyes were red and a little bit watery. She’s been crying in there. I’m sure of it. She was quiet about it though since I can’t hear her sobbing inside. She tried to force out a smile when I looked at her.

“I’m okay Junhyung-ah. Let’s finish packing,” she said and started walking to the boxes where she had packed her things. She ignored my presence of just standing there behind her. She knows she had some explanations to do but she ignored that fact. I’m not sure if I have to ask her about it or just let it be until the time comes when she wanted to tell me herself. I choose to let it be and help her.

 

As we finished gathering her things, I put all the boxes and bags of clothes into the car while she stayed inside. I was done in a few minutes and wanted to get her when I saw her sitting on a couch in the living room, holding a piece of frame tightly. Slowly I walked up to her and sat beside her. It was a photo of Jay and her.

“I miss him alot” Hyuna said softly. Although she didn’t react when I sat beside her, she knows that I was there.

I felt the urge of caressing her back softly, comforting her. But it has only been about 2-3 weeks eversince Jay passed away. I still feel wrong to do that. She is still his wife. The mother of his child.

I just sat there, looking at her face while she stares at the picture. “Have you miss someone this badly Junhyung? Knowing that you’re never going to see that person ever again..” she asked, eyes still glued to the picture.

Oh yes Hyuna. You. I miss you terribly for 9 years. I never thought I would meet you again. But I still waited. I guess maybe its fate that I’m able to meet you again although some things have changed.

“Yup. But you’re lucky Hyuna. You have many memories with Jay that can help you release the longing and Jae Hee to occupy your time,” I said.

She smiled gently and nodded. At last she broke away from the photo but still holding it tightly with her. We went to the car and she asked if we could drop by Jay’s grave for awhile before Jae Hee ends school. I agreed instantly, knowing that she really needs that time with Jay.

As we reached the place, I was about to get out when she stopped me.

“Erm.. can you wait for me here?” she bit her lip, waiting for my response. I nodded and smiled slightly.

“If there’s anything, call me immediately arasso?” I said. She nodded and got out of the car. Maybe its not the time for you to take Jay’s place in her heart Yong Junhyung.

 

Hyuna’s POV

I walked slowly to Jay’s grave with the silver box in my hand. I was shocked when Junhyung saw it. I tried making excuses but I think he would have already guessed that the bracelet was his gift to me. I’ve already memorized the route since I’ve visited his grave almost everyday before I move in with Junhyung.

I stood infront of his grave and sat down beside the tombstone. I ran my fingers over the surface of the tombstone where Jay’s name is being engraved.

“I love things that are being engraved” I remembered saying that to Junhyung when I asked about his keychain. Jay’s name being engraved here, I don’t like it one bit. I hate it. I feel like erasing it if that would ever bring Jay back to life.

“Jay.. How are you? I missed a couple of days not visiting you. Mianhe..” I pursed my lips to prevent myself from tearing up.

“I’ve moved in with Junhyung. Isn’t that what you want? For him to take care of me?” I scoffed.

“But it isn’t the same Jay. We’re no longer like before. I don’t think he still have feelings for me.”

“What about you? Do you?”I heard Jay’s voice in my head. I smiled sadly.

“I don’t know Jay. I still love you very very very much. We’ve been through a lot together. But I couldn’t say that I forget about Junhyung totally. I miss him but I always have you by my side that I forget about that feeling. And now you’re gone and he's back. Why does it feel different? Why can’t he comfort me out of missing you?”

“Its still new Hyuna.. You will accept him slowly. Once you get used to him being in your life again,” Jay said.

I sighed and took off the cover of the sliver box. I ran my fingers over the engraving on the bracelet. I love you Hyuna.I thought about it for awhile.

“Its still too early Jay. Don’t force me..” my voice got softer and softer. I smiled brightly to liven up my own mood.

“What shall I name our new baby Jay?” I smiled, rubbing my stomach softly.

“Should I name it Jaebum?” I chuckled.

“Hmm but what if she’s a girl? Umm… Jaebumie?” I laughed cheekily looking at his grave. My laughter died down but it was followed by stream of tears rolling down my cheeks. I wiped it away quickly but it just wouldn’t stop.

“Ani ani.. I’m not crying..” I told Jay when in fact I was just convincing myself. Or rather, lying to myself.

“You know, Junhyung reminds me a lot of you. He’s so concerned about everything and did not let me do anything. He even sends Jae Hee to school. Remember the time when you didn’t let me brush my own teeth? You insist to brush for me.” I chuckled reminiscing that day.

 

“Where’re you going?” Jay asked sleepily when he felt me getting out of bed.

I was standing infront of the bathroom door and looked over my shoulder. “Bathroom?” I pointed to the door, stating the obvious.

“For?” Jay sat up on the bed.

“To bathe of course!” I laughed. Why is he being so weird this morning?

He shook his hand. “Ani ani. You can’t. I’ll bathe for you. You might slip or something,” Jay said while getting off the bed, walking towards me.

My eyes widened. “What? No way! Jay I can bathe by myself. Besides its only a month long,” I said gently.

He stood infront of me, tilting his head to the side to look at me. His face was full or concern and worry. He placed both his hands on my shoulders and his lips.

“Are you sure? You won’t be tired?” he asked.

I chuckled. “Who would be tired from bathing Jay? Don’t worry okay.” I smiled. He nodded cautiously, still unsure.

“But I’ll brush your teeth for you.”

“But-“ I was about to protest when he cut me off.

“No buts. I’ll brush it and that’s final. Now go bathe,” he said as he turned me around and pat my . He let out a chuckle as I went into the bathroom.

 

“Open your mouth wide~” he sang. I obeyed and he started brushing my teeth. He was so careful and slow that I was getting impatient. Finally after opening my mouth for long, he told me to grit my teeth. He smiled widely seeing me ‘smiling’ when I grit my teeth.

He brushed up and down, side to side until he suddenly pushed the toothbrush too much to the side that it hurt my gum.

“Ow!” I shouted, frowning at him. He quickly moved the brush away from me and looked at me with a shocked expression.

“Oh! I’m so sorry baby. Very very sorry. I’ll go gently this time,” he said softly and continued brushing my teeth, slower than ever.

After what seemed like centuries, he was finally done. That was the first time I took 15 minutes to brush my teeth. I wiped my mouth with a towel. I turned to Jay and glared at him. “That is the last time I’m going to let you brush my teeth. I can brush my own teeth Park Jaebum!”

He pouted. He knows that if I call him by his full name, I’m serious at that time. “Arasso..” he said sadly.

 

I glanced at my watch. It’s almost time for me to take Jae Hee. “Jay I have to go now to take our baby. He’s as good as ever. He never forgets you Jay. Don’t worry. You will never be replaced.” I smiled and stood up slowly.

I glanced one last time at Jay’s grave before walking off. “I love you Jay.”

 

Oh no! Maybe Junhyung didn't have a chance with Hyuna afterall. :( Or does he? :P

Chapter 29: OMG. UGLY SOBBING. No lie - my eyes just won't stop leaking tears lol. UGH. I'm an incoherent spazz right now. This story, your writing, HYUNA. JAY. JUNHYUNG. EVERYTHING has put me through an emotional roller coaster and I can't really process my thoughts well enough to give you anything constructive other than my eternal feelz LOL.
So, I think I'm in the minority here but I literally SQUEALED when it was revealed early on that Hyuna was married to Jay. Not gonna lie, I am a hardcore Jay/Hyuna shipper. There isn't enough fanfic about them sadly :( so I was shocked and beside myself reading all the adorably sweet Jay/Hyuna moments. Ugh, it was heartbreaking when he died...I literally choked and let out a sob and had to walk away for a breather.
I think what I love most about this story is that the ending (though heartbreaking) leaves a rather ambiguous message that can be taken either way. We know Hyuna is Junhyung's only true love but is Junhyung Hyuna's? I found myself torn .. when she was still alive, I thought that Jay's death was a way for her to find her way back to Junhyung but then she died and joined Jay and I changed my mind and thought maybe Jay is her true love/soul mate and she's finally returning to him. ANYWAY. I could be completely OFF and just insane but that's just a testament to your skill and how engaging this story is and how emotionally invested I became.
Junhyung was just heartbreaking from start to end. I felt for him and really the poor guy went through so much but I was incredibly touched that he finally got his family in the end, even without Hyuna. Your ending sentence had so much emotional impact and was absolutely perfect.
I know this is mainly a Junah love story but perhaps you wrote Jay and Hyuna's relationship so well I couldn't help but root for them instead (and I say this with Junah as my OTP). Hopefully if you find inspiration you might write a Jay/Hyuna centred fic next? hehe ^^
YOU'RE AMAZING. I'm off to read your other work!
