Chapter 29

END

Sulli went to Yong Joon’s house alone. She found him in the living room drinking.

“Oppa…” said Sulli

“Ah…my sister who betrayed me finally went home.” Said Yong Joon

Sulli sat beside Yong Joon. Suli closed her eyes in the emotion that’s building up her chest.

“Your hate killed Unnie.” Said Sulli “I don’t want to blame you because you’re my brother…Your important to me, Oppa…but…the hate you nurtured in your heart has flowed to the people who loved you deeply…and it led to Unnie’s death.”

Yong Joon looked at Sulli.

“You killed Unnie, Oppa… Maybe not with your own hands…but you planted the seed of hate in Jess’ heart.” Sulli took a  deep breath. Teas pooling in her eyes.

“How can I ever let Kevin know that his dad killed his Mom? How can I ever subject Kevin to that kind of agony?” said Sulli

Yong Joon is speechless. His heart and mind are all in pain…

Ji Woo…the woman he loves…died…no killed…by his own Apprentice. And Sulli si right, indirectly…he is to blame for what Jess did.

“Are you going to convince me to let you and Kevin go?” asked Yong Joon

“I will not allow Kevin to grow up with a man who has hate in his heart like yours. I don’t like Kevin to be contaminated the way Jess did.” Said Sulli “Oppa…I want Kevin to get to know you…but not until you eliminate the hate in your heart….as logn as you cary that buden, you will never be completely happy. ”

“Jess is going to be tried in court...” said Sulli “I am worried about you Oppa…I know I led you to this situation…I gave them something to hold against you…and I won’t stop blaming myself if something happens to you…I just don’t know what to think or do anymore.” asked Sulli

Yong Joon pulled Sulli into a hug.

“She won’t do that…Jess might have done wrong decisions in the past for loving me…but she won’t bring me in that situation.” Said Yong Joon

Sulli hugged Yong Joon back “Oppa…please let go of the hate…please do it…for me and Kevin…” said Sulli

------------------------

Henry went to the cemetery.

Ji Woo…the only woman who had ever come that close to his heart…

“I guess the time has come for me to leave…I’m going back to the US next month….I can finally continue being a real journalist. Writing gossips is really not my thing…I just did it for you…you know that right?” said Henry

“I wish Sulli had known how much you cared for her…though it was a bit late, I wish you were given more time to express it with her and your son…” Henry looked up trying to stop the tears.

“I can’t stay here holding on to you anymore, Ji Woo. I need to move on…it’s been a really long time…You won’t hate me for leaving right? You will support me finding my own happiness, right?” Henry placed the flower on the ground.

“I will miss you…but I will try to not come back here until I’m sure that I found my own happiness… You will patiently wait for me, right?” said Henry

He felt his heart suddenly getting lighter… “Thank you, Ji Woo.” Said Henry

-----------------------

Yong Joon was released from questioning a few days ago. It was a rigorous and hard process. He was interrogated for weeks. It was proven in the end that everything was Jeesica’s own plan and that Yong Joon was not the one who dictated the killing. Though everyone knows his hate over Tony Choi, there’s no case that can be filed against just ‘hate’. The mastermind is Jessica. The Motive was frustration over love.

Henry met Yong Joon in the airport.

“I thought you wanted to stay in Korea for good?” asked Henry

“I decided to give myself more time to be alone. ” Said Yong Joon

“How about TC?” asked Henry

“I’m giving half my shares to Sulli and half to Kevin…of course Sulli will be Kevin’s guardian for the time being.” Said Yong Joon “It was boring…Korean Entertainment seems to be not for me.”

“What do you plan to do now?” asked Henry

“I’m going back and forth to US and Korea…I want to check on Sulli and Kevin from time to time….but for now…I’ll return to teaching. ” Said Yong Joon

“You’re not going to get those two?” asked Henry

“I think that not trusting that family made me want to keep them by my side…I could not think that they could love the 2 most important people in my life because of the past…but it seems I was wrong.” Said Yong Joon. “It seems that guy really cares for my sister and son.”

“Minho Choi loves your sister…I personally witnessed it even during the time he was still stupid to fight his feelings off.” Said Henry

“I still don’t understand why you’d put them together…I mean…How will you know that they’ll get along? That guy must’ve hated my Sulli and Kevin.” Yong Joon took a deep breath. “But I don’t hate the idea anymore.”said Yong Joon

Henry just nodded.

Sulli waved at them from afar.

“Oppa…Mr. Henry…” greeted Sulli

“Hi Uncle and Ajussi.” said Kevin

Yong Joon hugged Kevin and Sulli

“I’m so gonna miss you both.” Said Yong Joon “You take care of yourselves ok?”

“I will take care of them.” Said a voice from behind Sulli

Sulli turned around and saw Minho…

Minho…

Sulli’s heart started beating fast. Her heart hitting her rib with each pump….it’s full of pain and longing and excitement…

She missed this man…

Minho pulled Sulli to him and hugged her tight burying his face on Sulli’s neck smelling Sulli’s familiar scent.

“I missed you…so much…” said Minho “Please…don’t you ever do that to me again…I thought I was going to die not having you with me...I won’t be able to bear it if that ever happens again.”

Kevin joined the hug. “Daddy Ajussi!” said Kevin happily!

“You too little man.” Said Minho

“Make sure you take care of them in my absence, when I come back and learn that you didn’t take good care of them….I won’t be as merciful.” Said Yong Joon

“I won’t need your mercy because they are going to stay with me forever.” Said Minho

Minho faced Sulli and caressed her face.

“Will you…stay with me forever? You will marry me, right?” asked Minho

It’s all of a sudden and all out of the blue. It left Sulli speechless.

“Are you…proposing?” asked Sulli

Minho chuckled. “I sure am.”

“You really had to do it in front of me?” asked Yong Joon irritated.

“I think he did that on purpose.” Said Henry “Well, you’re the brother right?”

Sulli smiled at Minho

“Yes…Yes I will be with you forever…I will marry you…I love you.” Sulli kissed Minho on the lips making Henry and Yong Joon look away.

“Teach your sister some decency, Man.” Said Henry

Yong Joon just chuckled. “It’s the airport…you would see goodbye kisses everywhere, so it’s ok…But your’re right…ehem…quit that already…ehem!” said Yong Joon

“She now answered…so there’s no way you can separate us anymore.” Said Minho

“Arrogant man.” said Yong Joon

“Please come back soon Uncle.” Said Kevin

“Yes…I will visit you soon.” Said Yong Joon pinching Kevin’s cheek.

Sulli hugged Yong Joon

“Take care of yourself there, Oppa.” Said Sulli

Yong Joon returned Sulli’s hug.

“You too.” Said Yong Joon.

Yong Joon tapped Henry

“Please take care of Jess for me.” Said Yong Joon

“She will not have a way to get out fo the prison…but I’ll make sure she’s comfortable.” Said Henry

Yong Joon nodded.

“When are you going back to the US?” asked Yong Joon

“
