“Oppa, should I abort it?” Yoona asked barely above a whisper.

“It’s between the both of you,” Minho said as a matter of fact. “I know you truly love this man, shouldn’t you tell him? At least you gave him an option, what will happen if he found out that you aborted his child.” Let out a sigh, he continues, “He might be confused for now. You’ll never know if you don’t make things clear.”

-

Yunho was staring at the picture he had taken with Tiffany four years ago in Paris. During that time they were so happy together. Their love was so strong that nothing can come between. In spite of that, he somehow will strange to have her in his arms once again. The feeling they used to have no longer existed. He just felt weird and uncertain with his own thoughts.

The vibration of his phone on the coffee table awaken him from faze. He sees the caller ID and it was Yoona, someone he dares not to face at this moment. “Hello,” he picked it up to hear a frail voice from Yoona. “Not feeling well, you sounded sick,” worries overwhelm him upon hearing her voice.

“I’m fine,” Yoona bit her lips as she was on the verge of tearing upon having the picture of him with Tiffany. “I…I suddenly…think of you, so I thought of giving you a call.”

Hearing that, it somehow made him relaxed. “I miss you too, it’s been so long we didn’t meet and have a walk in the street. Shall we have one tomorrow? I’m free for the whole day.”

“Okay, let’s meet at the Ferris Wheel,” Yoona eyes were all red. “Bye, see you there…” Yoona was about ending the call but stopped as he heard Yunho’s abrupt voice.

“Hey Yoona,” he relieved to hear her voice again. “You’re hanging up so fast? Or why don’t I call you instead.”

“It’s getting late, I shall sleep already,” Yoona said.

“Fine then, sleep tight.”

“You too…bye,”

Pressing on the red button, the screen display shows the picture of his and Yoona. Their smiles were so bright and wide. It was then he realized, the time he had spend with Yoona was the happiest he ever had. With Yoona, he needs not to worry about anything. Although she is always sick but Yoona was completely different than Tiffany. Yoona is independent. She rather to lock herself in hardship then asking his help, she would never want him to frets over her problem. Being with Tiffany, everyday he needs to think of a reason in order to avoid his dad. Every day, Tiffany would bugs him, question him when will they get married. Question on when they can officially be seen as a pair.

Awhile ago, he realizes, Tiffany was out of his mind the moment he hears Yoona’s voice. Perhaps, his heart has made a decision. He always thought his heart was solely occupied by Tiffany but the truth is, Yoona has somehow changed him.

-

“Oppa…” Yoona ran towards his direction. “I’m sorry for being late,” she could hardly catch her breath.

Brushing off the strand of hair that poking her eyes, he can’t help but to smile, “Although ladies have rights in coming late, but not an hour late. Are you planning to keep me freezing here.” He said whilst removing his scarf to wrap it around her neck, “Winter has came late this year, are you planning to kill yourself to not use scarf and, see your hands are freezing cold. Where is your glove?”

Yoona can no longer hold back her laughter as she laughed out, “You’re being like aunty here…”

He slightly hits her forehead with his two fingers, “I’m being caring for you. What if you catch a cold, I’m not planning to postpone our engagement party,” before finishing it, he paced towards the Ferris wheel.

Follow behind, Yoona was rather taken aback to hear that. “Is he serious?” she was still caught in the incident happened last night.

Stepping into the Ferris wheel, it moves slowly which enable them to share their thoughts. Having his arm securely around her waist, he whispered into her ears, “Did you eat a lot lately, your waist, how should I say. Feels like widened, gain some fats…”

“Jung Yunho,” she released his hand and glared at him. “Are you trying to say I’m fat?”

“Aren’t you,” he teased laughingly. Yoona pouted and looked away from him to the sceneries from Lotte World. “Okay, my fault. You’re still slim; we’re here at the peak…”

“Make a wish then,” Yoona suggested suddenly.

She looks into his eyes, trying hard to read what’s in his mind. As expected, he was wishing for the one he love but not her.

“Yunho oppa…”

“Hmm…” he turned to her.

“Do you like kids?”

“Not too fond with it,” Yunho truthfully answered. “Why?”

Looking away, she avoids letting him see the tears in her eyes, “Just curious…nothing much.”

As the ride ended, Yunho stepped out first before reaching for her hand. “Shall we have a walk in Han River before dinner; we still have plenty of time.”

She just nodded her head.

-

Heading towards the conference room, Ri In had been feeling sick lately. Her appearance describes how frail she is. Walking along the hallway, she shakes her head a little to get rid of the sleepiness as it have been two days she had not sleep in order to get the work done. It should be done together with Junsu, but ever since the quarrel, she has not returned home. Junsu was the only soul in the mansion that filled with coldness he came to afraid the most. Ri In knows it very well that silence atmosphere is the one thing that he came to fear. A small hope emerged in her, hoping to be by his side, having him by her side day and night.

As she walks, she halted upon seeing her that one person she love the most. They looked into each other eyes sharing the same pain. Hoping that he could reach out his hand for her to touch the frail figure that stood few steps before him, but his body just didn’t want to move. Junsu was unsure what exactly revolving them this time around. He can’t imagine he would say that. But deep inside, he didn’t want that. Divorce was something he will never want. He wished he did not mention that and has the courage to secure her fragile body with his arms.

Ri In tightened her grip on the document file she has in her hands, taking in a deep breath, she make her move. Making her way towards Junsu; brushes passed him without even looking at him. Tears restraining in her eyes that had soon redden it, the tears flow down as her back was the only thing within Junsu’s sight.

“I’m sorry, I don’t mean it,” Junsu mouthed as a drip of tears flowed.

-

-Han River-

Walking hand in hand, Yunho could feel her hand getting colder, “Very cold?”

“Huh…” it awaked her from bewilderment. “What did you just said?”

“I’m asking if you are cold.” Yunho said. “What’s wrong, you’ve been in faze since after the ride. Not feeling well?” he placed his palm on her forehead.

“Oppa…”

“Right, it’s strange,” he interrupted. “Since when did you start calling me oppa?”

“Let me say it first,” Yoona looked down on the floor. “Maybe we should think about postponing the engagement party, give yourself some time to think about it.” She withdraws her hand from his and slowly takes her steps towards the car that had just stopped behind Yunho’s.

Stunned by her sudden decision, Yunho felt his foot as if planted on the ground that caused him unable to move in time. As he soon realized, he ran after her. Pulling her backward, he hugged her from behind. “Don’t go…I’m not making any decision,” he whispered through her hair.

Holding on the pair of arms around her waist, she retrains the tears, “Be fair to me, don’t do this. You ought to choose for your own happiness, since she’s back; you have the right to go back to her.”

“How did you know,” he turned her around. Yoona remained silent as the tears have soon flow down. “Did she approach you?”

“No,” she shook her head. “I saw the both of you at the hill that night….”

Yunho’s heart thumps as he hears her reply. “It’s not like what you see, I can explain…”

“Don’t do this,” Yoona backed away from Yunho, making a clear boundary before them. “I need some time to sort things out and I know you needed it as well. Give us some time to cool down and think things through thoroughly, okay…”

“Yoona…” he could only mumble whilst seeing her getting into Minho’s car.

-

“Tiffany, she’s back,” Jaejoong said.

“She’s back?” Ri In looked up to Jaejoong.

Upon seeing that pair of tired and puffy eyes, Jaejoong held on her hand as he asked, “Ri In, what happened between you and Junsu? You’ve been staying here over the past few weeks. It worries us you know…”

“Don’t worry about me, do Yoona know about this?”

“I’m not too sure…”

“I shall go to her house…” she stood up as soon she makes her step towards the doorway, her sight turned completely black, she has fainted. Immediately, Jaejoong catch her fall, “Ri In…”

-Emergency Ward-

Running towards the direction of the entrance to the emergency ward, Junsu bumped into a few persons in his approaching way. Upon seeing Jaejoong seated on the bench, Junsu ran up to him. Pulling Jaejoong up, his hold on his shoulders was tight. Jaejoong could feel his hands shivering.

“Don’t worry,” Jaejoong try to calm him down. “I think she fainted due to the nights of not sleeping.” He looked at Junsu from head to toe. Junsu was still wearing the house slipper, he might came here in rush, he thought.

Junsu felt like a knife stab on his heart “She did not sleep for nights?”

“Yeah, just to finish the… I think you know about it better than I do.”

As the doctor in charge came out, Junsu ran up to him. “How is my wife? Is she okay?”

“You’re…Jang Ri In’s relative?” the doctor asked.

“I’m her husband,” Junsu said. “How is my wife doing?”

Flipping through the report, he asked, “By any chance, do you know that your wife is in her 8 weeks pregnancy?”

“Ri In is pregnant?” Jaejoong mouth formed a huge o.

Shaking his head in confusion, Junsu uttered, “I don’t know any of that, she didn’t mention about that…”

“As the closest person to her, you ought to be alert with her every change. During the pregnancy, she would be short tempered, feeling sick of certain smell, and this period of time is the easiest to miscarriage.” The doctor said then continues, “She was lucky, but from now on, you seriously need to be very careful as she might leads to miscarriage.”

“I will, can I see her,”

-

“Im Yoona,” a girl in her early twenty, she knocked on the table. Yoona halted eating and looked up to her. “You are?”

“Do you know Jung Yunho?”

“I’m his fiancée,” Yoona said. “What’s the matter,” she got up from her seat.

“Fiancée, you’re not engaged yet,” she sneered. “I’m Tiffany, his true love. Don’t you ever dare to approach Yunho! I’m warning you!” receiving no respond, Tiffany continues, “Bear in mind, he only loves me. Until this very minute, the person Jung Yunho love the most is still me, Tiffany Hwang.”

Looking away, Yoona holds back her tears, “No one could affect his decision. Whether he’ll choose you or not, it falls on his hands and I’ve no intention in changing his mind or do I want to cling on him not letting him go.” Picking up her bag, she said barely above a whisper, “So stop bothering me…”

“You,” she raised her hand about to slap Yoona. Luckily, Yoona get to react in time as she grabbed hold on her wrist upon seeing her hand coming across.

Tilting her head over her shoulder, she sees Yunho. Immediately she changed, “Ouch…Yoona shi, I know you hated me a lot. But I can’t help it, is Yunho’s decision…it’s pointless to slap me.”

Yoona’s eyes widened as she was unsure to why Tiffany is reacting in this way. The moment he sees Yunho approaching, she begins to understand.

“Tiffany, are you alright?” Yunho held on her arms before shooting a glistening glare to Yoona. “Why did you do that? She did nothing wrong and it was you who opted this way.”

“Jung Yunho, don’t you believe me?” Yoona’s lips were quivering.

“I don’t understand why you did that…”

Minho who just came out from the washroom immediately ran up to Yoona. “What happened, did she do anything to you?”

“I was the one being slapped here,” Tiffany howled.

“Let’s go,” Yunho lead Tiffany towards the exit but halted upon hearing Yoona.

“You can be really stupid at times,” Yoona can no longer restrain her tears as it drenched her face. “After all this time we have, don’t you know what type of person I am?”

Yunho held firm on Tiffany’s hand and walked out from the restaurant leaving Yoona in tears. He just needed to sort things out.

-

Wrapping her palm with both his hands, he brought it up to his face. “Ri In, I’m sorry…”

After minutes of mumbling, Ri In eyes gradually opened to see Junsu’s worried face of expression. “How come you’re here? Where am I?”

Pulling her up into his embracement, “You silly, why didn’t you tell me you’re pregnant? You caused me almost killed our child.” He tightened his arms as she struggles to loosen him.

“What pregnant, didn’t I made it clear that it was Yoona’s result of checkup?” she frowned still trying hard to push Junsu off. Her voice gradually rose.

“Calm down,” Junsu rubs on her palm. “You fainted just now, Jaejoong send you in. The doctor had clarified that you’re in 8 weeks pregnancy.”

“I’m pregnant,” Ri In touched on her little tummy.

“Come back, it’s time to come home,” Junsu nuzzled his nose with hers. “You have no idea how much I missed you, how lonely I was without your present in that huge mansion that filled with coldness.”

Slightly pushed against his chest, “Didn’t you say divorce, why haven’t you filed me a law letter? Waiting for me to do it?” she pouted.

Securing his arms around her again though she kept struggling, Junsu lowered his voice, almost a whisper “I was overwhelmed by anger in that time. And that Jonghyun guy was there so I get really irritated. I will never want a divorce, it took me long enough time to occupy your heart completely, how could do that.”

“But you said it…”

“That’s because…” receiving nothing but to see Ri In looking away, he sighed, “I surrender. I can’t think of any better words to prove that I blurted that out without my conscious. All I know is, until the end of time, I still want to be with you. I still want you to be the one next to me when I’m old with wrinkles filled on my face. I still want to have my hand interlocked with yours, till the very end of time.”

“Junsu…” she can’t help but to cry again. “I believe you…”

Resting his forehead on hers, he admitted he was tired, “Let’s not quarrel over a small matter anymore. No matter what is that that dissatisfy us, we need to pour it out.”

“Promise…” she pecked on his lips.

Suddenly, Ri In’s phone rings. Junsu answered the call, “Minho…you can’t find Yoona? I’ll be right there.”

“Yoona disappeared?” Ri In frowned concernedly.

“She get into a fight with Tiffany and Yunho then left without informing Minho,” Junsu said.

“I need to go find her,” Ri In get out from her ward bed and bare foot stepped on floor.

Seeing the worried in her face, then the foot that stepping on the freezing floor, Junsu agitatedly carried her up a little then made her stepped on his foot. “Babo, you’re pregnant…have you forgotten about it?”

“Yoona might be in danger, I need to go find her,” Ri In wears on the slipper and making her way towards the closet but was stopped as Junsu hugged her firmly from behind.

“Kim Ri In, I begged you not to get involved with their relation anymore,” he pleaded. Whispering through her hair into her ear, “You’ve not sleep for two nights due to office work and aside of that, you care about Yunho and Yoona that you go back and forth to her house. She has Minho. If you are to get yourself so pressure and busy, you will lead to miscarriage you know.”

“I will be careful,” she turned her head to see Junsu rested his chin on her shoulder. She held on his face, “I promise nothing will happen.”

“No,” Junsu was firm this time. “I know I’m being selfish here. But just let me be for once, just this time. It’s for our baby, for our future. Let me take care of it and you stay still here and have good rest.”

“Junsu…”

“I’ll make sure Yoona will be home safe and sound. In fact, she might go to some friend’s house.” Junsu try to soothe Ri In. “Yoona is no longer a little kid.”

Feeling sad for Yoona, Ri In said, “She might feel really sad right now. Tiffany finally had returned.”

“Something which you had worried all this time,” Junsu said.

“Wait, Yoona might go to Hee Eun’s place. Other than me and Minho, Hee Eun’s is the only person she would find.” Ri In recalled.

-

“Hee Eun, I’m such a useless human,” Yoona looked up to the ceiling to avoid having her tears flow down once again. “What should I do?”

“You have not told him, how you would know,” Hee Eun looked over to Yoona. “Are you planning to leave and escaped all this forever, like you used to be?”

She nodded her head, restlessly, “That’s the only thing I’m good in, I guess.” Forcing out a bitter laugh, she admitted, “There’s nothing left here that could hold me back. Perhaps, I shouldn’t have returned home from America. How good if I’ve not bumped into him, never I’ve persistent in having him opening his heart for me.”

Bringing her into her arms, the pain in Yoona’s heart can easily be seen. Hee Eun patted her head, “You’ve made your final decision?”

“This is for the best, for the both of us” Yoona uttered tiredly. She was tired with her unconditional love towards Yunho which had nothing in return. “In fact, he was true to me at the very first place. He never wants accepting me because he still has Tiffany in his heart.”

“Does Ri In know about your leaving?” Hee Eun asked.

She shook her head, “No, I don’t want her to know. She might storm into Yunho’s apartment and beat him up, given her attitude.”

‘ding dong’

“I’ll go get the door,” Hee Eun paced towards the door direction. “Minho, Junsu…”

Yoona turned around to see them stood by the doorway. “You two…”

-

“Yunho,” Tiffany grabbed hold on both his hands whilst he still staring at one point. “Can we still get back to the point where we first started? You still love me, don’t you?”

Withdrawing his hands from hers, he slipped into his pants pocket and turned around to have his back within Tiffany’s sight. “I thought it was like how you said…but I was wrong, terribly wrong.”

Feeling her heart throbbing fast, the words trembled out, “What do you mean?”

“Ever since you leaved, I’ve always locked my heart not intending to have other people to enter it without my approval as I still love you, deeply.” It made Tifffany relieved a little to hear that. However, it stabbed her heart when Yunho said, “But I never thought Yoona could step into my heart ever so easily. And I never thought I would open my heart for her without my conscious.” Turning around to face Tiffany, “The reason you came back, was it because I’m back to Jung Holdings? Willing to be the heir to my dad’s businesses?” he confronted. Seeing the atmosphere turned completely tensed, Yunho uttered, “I just need to know,”

“I’m sorry,” Tiffany have her knees down. “It was my entire fault to leave you four years ago. Back then, I was insecure to see you leave Jung Holdings because of me. You were willing to let go all that for me, and that your dad approached me with that amount…I just can’t stay by your side.” She cried.

Squatting down by her side, he lifted her chin and looks into her eyes, “Tiffany, is this call love? Do you really love me?”

Shaking her head aggressively, she was confused, “I don’t know. I just needed someone who could really be my shelter, a safe shelter. I can’t be following mother’s footsteps.”

“For a wealthy life, you choose me over Siwon,” shaking her shoulders, gently “Wake up, be true to yourself and go after the person you truly loves. That person ain’t me.”

“Yunho…”

-

Opening the door and closed it behind him before bringing up his head to see Ri In with Junsu, Yunho stood before the door, “How are you, dying already?”

“I’ll go to the canteen grabbed a snack,” Junsu whispered to Ri In then paced towards Yunho’s direction, “talk for awhile…”

Seeing Junsu leaved the ward, he walked up to Ri In and seated beside her. “Will becoming a mother soon, it’s time for you to change that bad tempered of yours,” he gently touched on her little tummy. “Eight weeks…”

“Here, I’m not the only one welcoming a new life into my family,” Ri In hinted.

“What do you mean?” Yunho dumbly asked, not understanding what the meaning behind Ri In’s statement is.

“You really don’t know, aren’t you?” Ri In looked over to the confused Yunho. “Before that, I need you to tell me the truth. Have you made your decision, Tiffany or Yoona?”

“Tiffany is only a past in my life,” Yunho admitted as he helped Ri In down to pace to the couch. “As for Yoona, she’s my brand new future. It’s sad to admit that, she was the one that pulled me out from darkness. Made me realized, Tiffany doesn’t really love me and that I was only someone who could guarantee her a calm life.”

Sighing, Ri In felt he ought to know the truth, “Do you know, before I know about my pregnancy, I know about Yoona’s.”

“Yoona,” Yunho raised his voice a little. “Are you trying to say Yoona’s pregnant?”

“It should be two and a half months by now,” Ri In estimated.

Having thousand of questions gushing through his mind, Yunho was completely blurred to what’s happening in his surroundings. “She didn’t tell me anything…”

“She planned too, Ferris wheel,” Ri In reminded him. Then only Yunho realized what he said to Yoona about his perception on kids. “I never thought she was serious in that question and I just simply answered her.”

“That described how important her questions to you. Sometime I wonder, do you really love Yoona?” Ri In finally asked the unanswered question that filled in her heart all this while. “When she asked you to make a wish, you were thinking Tiffany, didn’t you?”

“How do you know?”

“You should ask how Yoona know,” Ri In corrected him. “Actually, each and every minute to what you’re thinking, Yoona can clearly read it through your eyes. I don’t know how to explain it but this is her special ability to be able to read one’s thoughts.”

At that point, Yunho can’t utter a word. He just stood still not knowing what ought to be done.

“In six months time, you’ll become a father,” Ri In sighed. “Giving you a chance, Yoona will be leaving to America in two hours time. It’s never too late to go after her now; you know her heart very well.”

“She’s leaving,” he held on Ri In’s shoulders. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier but kept lecturing me!” he abruptly take his steps towards the exit. He was so fast that almost bumped into Junsu.

“Hey dude, watch your steps,” Junsu held on his arms. “Where are you going in such a rush?”

Pushing Junsu away, Yunho babbled, “Can you and your wife stop coming into my way!”

“What’s up with him?” Junsu raised his brow.

Shrugging her shoulders, she walked up to Junsu, “I just told him what I should.”

“And that he’s going to the airport now,” Junsu wrapped his arms around his wife. “Should we go watch the ending of this movie since we have not missed any moment of theirs?”

“Aren’t you grounding me in this safe place?”

“I’ll give you a break once in awhile,” he kissed the tip of her nose. “Let’s get moving…”

-

Running into the airport, Yunho scanned through the huge number of people. He wonders how he could be able to find Yoona when there are so many people. Suddenly, he received a text message from Minho.

It says, ‘Gate 42…’

Almost instantly, Yunho runs up to the main departure gate to see Yoona heading down towards Gate 42. He was about to shout out her name, but he just can’t catch his breath. Taking in a deep breath, he called out her name. “Im Yoona,” it sounded so loud that everyone averted their eyes to Yunho’s direction.

Yoona turned around to see Yunho having his hands on the knees. “Yunho…how come…”

Seeing their distance decreasing as Yunho step by step walking up to her, Yoona can’t help but to step back a little. Grabbing hold on her wrist, he pulled her into his arms. “Never leave me alone. I won’t be able to move on anymore if you are doing this to me, repeating my nightmare.”

“The one you really need is Tiffany,” Yoona uttered with a tear dropped on his shoulder. Bringing up her arms to his shoulders, she tried pulling him off her. “You’d chosen when you leaved the restaurant that day.”

Tightens his embracement, he secured her strongly in his arms. “No, that’s not it. In that time, I just needed some time to sort out my feelings to be able to make a right decision.” Pulling her off him, he stares into her eyes, “I know you can read my mind. I’m telling you Im Yoona, the one I really love was you. Maybe in the past, she was the one I love. But without my knowing, you had changed me completely. You made me fall for you and want to grow old with you.”

“Yunho…did Ri In told you about my pregnancy,” Yoona still doubted, though she could reads it. “I don’t need your responsibility for us. All I want is you to choose the right one and be happy.”

“Still you don’t believe me, aren’t you,” Yunho asked. “How should I prove myself, tell me. Yoona, I love you. Day and night I’ve always have you in my mind. That’s not what I wanted but you just wouldn’t leave my mind.”

Yoona remained silent.

“I want to grow old with you,” Yunho sealed her lips. “Will you give me this one last chance; I’ll leave if you refuse.”

A crept in her face, “Let’s interlocked this hand, till our hair grow white,” she slipped her hand into his, letting their fingers interlocked together.

He smile before hugging her and turn her in circle. “I love you, Im Yoona. Only you…”

“Enough with it, everyone is watching…”

“Who cares…”

About meters away from them, stood a pair lovely husband wife watching over them since the very first place. Gradually, Ri In slipped into Junsu’s hand. Holding tightly on whilst looking into each other eye with faith in it, they smiled.

“I just learned a new line,” Junsu turned Ri In to stand before him. He bend a little to share a same eye level, he looks into her hazel eyes, “Till the end of time…I still want to grow old with you, forever ever.”

Ri In chuckled “with this…” she placed her hand on her stomach.

Junsu nodded, “Yeah…with this new life of ours.” He too held on the hand she had just placed. “We still have a long road to go, but I’m sure it is filled bright,” he leads her to the exit direction.

“Bright…you’ll never know,” Ri In said sneeringly.

“I just know,” Junsu open the car door then look at Ri In. “Because our matchmaker, Yoochun will be looking over us.”

“With lights,” Ri In chuckled before sitting at the passenger seat.

“Yeah, with lights…” Junsu helped her to wears on the safety belt then stole a kiss on her lips.
