CHAPTER 51

 

~~In Ilsan~~

 

After paying her respect, Sungmin sits staring at the two graves in front of her blankly. Her grandparents from the mother’s side, is also her ‘parents’ when she’s small. They took a really good care of her. And they are the only people that truly accept her as a family at the time where everything is so messed up. Sungmin really missed them throughout the years and even after their death.

 

“If only you didn’t come to visit me at that time…maybe both of you are still alive now.” Sungmin told them in sad tone, “I’m sorry.” She apologized again for the nth time.

 

Even though so many years has passed ever since their death, Sungmin never feel at ease whenever their anniversary reached. Her grandparents involved in an accident on the way visiting her in Seoul, at the hospital. The accident took away their life in a blink and she regrets it so much. Sungmin blames herself, telling herself that their death is actually because of her. Her mama detested her even more after the incident. Whereas no other people blame her, her mama remained accusing her for everything. But yet, she accepted it. That’s why, she is willing to come and visit while knowing she might encounter her mama again.

 

That happened few times in the previous years, so she’s not so shock when her mama’s figure was seen from far away. She wanted to run away, but, seeing the glare that she gives, Sungmin’s feet glued to the ground, not moving an inch.

 

“What the hell are you doing here?” Minjung asked, with smug on her face.

 

There’s a frown on her, obviously telling that she didn’t like Sungmin’s presence there.

 

“Ah…I…mama…” Minjung’s suddenly hasten her pace towards Sungmin and without warning, PANG!

 

She slapped Sungmin on her face. Sungmin’s eyes widened by the shock. Her cheek throbbed painfully. She could feel water gathering in her eyes.

 

“How dare you step in here again?” Minjung spatted, “Have you no shame?”

 

Sungmin’s heart breaks by her harsh words. She puts her head lowered, looking at the floor. Minjung snorted at her. She ignores her presence there and walked passed Sungmin towards the grave. Furious to see a bouquet of flowers and food on the grave, Minjung kicked it away with a loud bam. Sungmin flinched instantly by the action but she didn’t dare to retort.

 

“Rubbish.” She heard Minjung said.

 

It referred to her, there’s no doubt about it. Her heart continued on painfully clenched by the words.

 

“Sorry about the garbage just now, umma and appa. It must be smells right?” she starts speaking and totally ignores Sungmin’s feelings.

 

“I brought your favorite flowers, umma. And your favorite food for you appa. Hope that you like it.” She continued, while serving everything said.

 

Minjung looked at her parents’ grave in silence. She is sort of talking in heart towards her parents that she missed. But, her heart burned once more, upon realizing Sungmin is still there watching her. She gets up and gives a glare, scaring Sungmin a hell.

 

“I told you to never come here.” She said, “Why are so stubborn, huh?”

 

“Sorry…sorry…” Sungmin reflectively apologized.

 

“ENOUGH!” Minjung raised her hands, “I hate you. So, get the hell outta here.” She walked passed Sungmin but not before she purposely bummed the girl by the shoulder.

 

Sungmin losses her balance and falls. Tears were already pooling in her eyes. Slowly, she gets up. It hurts her so much by the hatred. It’s been so long and yet, her mother never changed. She still thinks her as a nuisance and hates her. It’s devastating and she didn’t understand it anymore.

 

“W…why…why mama…” Sungmin’s tears flow rapidly, “Why did you…hate me so much?” she questioned out loud.

 

Minjung’s steps abruptly stop. For the first time in her life, Sungmin is finally asking the question. She didn’t know where she got the courage to ask such question but she couldn’t hold it any longer. Sungmin got no answer for more than a minute after her question. She felt Minjung’s shadow covered her. When she turned up, brutally Minjung grabs her hair.

 

“AHH!!” cried Sungmin.

 

“You’re really shameless, right ?” she cursed, “Asking me a question where you knew exactly the answer of it. Don’t you pity your life?” her grip tightened and Sungmin cried some more.

 

“Ma…mama…”

 

“STOP CALLING ME THAT!” she yelled and pushed Sungmin hard on the floor.

 

“I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! MURDERER! YOU KILLED MY PARENTS! DID YOU FORGET THAT?!” Minjung vented out her anger.

 

She hits and kicks Sungmin all over her body, totally ignores her pain and pleas.

 

“YOU STOLE EVERYTHING THAT IS MINE! I SHOULD HAVE JUST KILLED YOU! DIE ! DIE!!!” Minjung barked like a mad woman.

 

Sungmin sobbed harder. She defenses herself as she could but the pain is too unbearable. Both because of the pain and the insults. Sort of blaming herself, Sungmin just let Minjung venting out her anger that she had. Minjung didn’t stop at all, not after a scream voiced out suddenly.

 

“LEE MINJUNG!!”

 

Minjung's attack stopped. Jonghyun stared in horrid by the scene in front of him. He dashed quickly and pulled Minjung away to stop her from continuing.

 

“What the hell are you doing?! Are you out of your mind?!” he asked aloud.

 

Minjung scoffed and pushed away her hair ignorantly. She didn’t feel any remorse at all with everything she did to Sungmin. Jonghyun growled and turned his attention towards the sobbing Sungmin.

 

“Uh…uh…” Sungmin sobbed, “Op…oppa…”

 

“Remember this Sungmin. I hate you.” Minjung interrupted, with both of their attention focus to her.

 

“You are nothing but a burden to me, rubbish. All you did is bothering me. You stole the love that Hyukjae supposed to have for me. You stole every piece of love that my parents had. You made them hate me so much. And you killed them!” she yielded.

 

Sungmin’s heart continues breaking, with no more pieces left to shatter.

 

“I hate you. More than anything. I’ve regret to ever gave birth to you. And I will hate you forever.” Minjung cursed and finished her words before she left.

 

Jonghyun sighed. He turned to Sungmin again and caressed her hair.

 

“Sungmin, I’m sorry.” He apologized for nothing that he did.

 

Sungmin’s tears are still flowing. But, she smiled. A fake one. She shakes her head, telling the latter that she’s okay even though she is obviously not.

 

“Come, let me take…”

 

Jonghyun’s sentence paused when he felt Sungmin’s hand pushed him away.

 

“Go oppa…” Sungmin whispered, “I’m okay.”

 

It pained Jonghyun’s heart by Sungmin’s assurance, “But Sungmin…”

 

"I will be fine. Just go."

 

Sungmin’s weak strength pushed Jonghyun away. She wants to be alone. Nothing what he said now will help her. She already understands that her mama will never accept her, not in this life time. Jonghyun stares at her painfully. He didn’t want to leave her alone. At least not, at the moment. But Sungmin insisted. She continued pushing the man’s hand away until he finally gave in and left the cemetery.

 

Sungmin sits alone there for more than half an hour, reminisced all that has been said by Minjung. After her tears have dried out, she gets up and leaves. She reached her car after a short journey but notices something strange. There are few men just around the corner. She eyed them by the corner of her eyes and quickened her steps. Not knowing why, she senses a bad aura from them.

 

Sungmin took the car key from her bag and is about to pushed the open button when the key slipped off her hand. The key bounced and landed quite far from her. Sungmin sighed and she walked to pick the key. Unexpectedly, a pair of legs comes into her sight. She turned up confusingly.

 

The man was panting and breathing hard. Sweats fall one by one trip from his forehead. His face is also bright red, maybe due to the hotness. But, Sungmin is sure one thing, he has been running.

 

"Minhyukkie..." whispered Sungmin, shocked and surprised by his sudden appearance.

 

Minhyuk sighed, "Are you okay?" he pulled Sungmin facing up with him.

 

Sungmin absentmindedly nodded, "Why are you here, Minhyukkie?"

 

"Jonghyun hyung told me to fetch you." he answered, still frowning hard, "Are you really okay?"

 

Sungmin nodded again with a chuckle.

 

"Yes, I.Am.Okay." she strengthened the word one by one.

 

"Fine." he surrendered, "Come, let me send you home." he gladly took the car key from Sungmin and holds her hand.

 

Sungmin sighed. She didn't need to ask how Minhyuk arrived there. Knowing the man for so long, he already made a note to never question for his appearing here and there. Minhyuk open the door fot Sungmin and she gets on after a thanks. He also gets on the car. He noticed some cuts on Sungmin's knee.

 

"Ah." Sungmin cried when Minhyuk's hand suddenly touched her knee.

 

"Hurt?" Minhyuk’s voice washed with worry.

 

"It's just a cut, Minhyukkie." Sungmin assured him.

 

“But, it still hurt right?” Minhyuk retorted, controlling his anger, “She did this to you? How dare she…”

 

Sungmin touched Minhyuk’s cheek, and stopped him from continuing. She moved closer to him and glued their forehead together. Both of them close their eyes and control each other breath in perfect sync.

 

“Don’t…do anything.” Sungmin whispered to him. “Everything is okay. So, don’t worry, Minhyukkie. This is just a cut. We’ll stop by a convenience store and buy some bandage. That’s it, okay?” she smiled at him.

 

They stare into each other eyes. And after some time, Minhyuk nodded. He started the car and drive back home. The ride home back to Seoul was silence. A part was because Sungmin has fallen asleep. While driving, Minhyuk will take a glance at Sungmin time by time. He can see the tiredness on Sungmin’s face, perhaps being pressure too much. He sighed and continued driving.

 

 

/////

 

 

Eunhyuk was the one who opened the door. He’s happy and excited to welcome his daughter. But, his mood drastically changed when Sungmin arrived home with Minhyuk. His stare sharpened staring at the two youngsters.

 

"Sungmin's home, appa." announced Sungmin with the brightest smile.

 

But, amidst all that, Eunhyuk clearly saw the bruise and invisible pain on the girl. He knew that Sungmin is hiding something. Yet, he smiles at her.

 

"Get some rest. We'll eat dinner together." he casually said, patting Sungmin's head without asking further.

 

Sungmin nodded, "Okay appa. You're joining us right Minhyukkie?" he turned to Minhyuk to which the latter nodded with a smile.

 

The two men watched carefully as Sungmin slowly retreats away from there. The scene suddenly tense up.

 

"Meet me in the library, now." Eunhyuk ordered and walked away.

 

Minhyuk gulped. It’s going to be tough. Eunhyuk is obviously angry and since he’s the one with Sungmin, he has to face up whatever anger Eunhyuk might vent. After Eunhyuk finished saying whatever he wants to Minhyuk, he picked up his phone and called someone. Minhyuk just watched as the elder ordered the caller his ordeals.

 

"Alright uncle. I understand. Yes, I will do as you say. Okay, bye." Yunho hung up the call with a sigh.

 

"What's wrong, dear?" Jaejong came from behind, "Who's calling?"

 

"It's Hyuk sunbae." Replied Yunho calmly.

 

"Uncle Hyuk? Why?"

 

"I received order from him to do something."

 

Jaejong hummed, "Seems serious."

 

"Well, anything that involves Sungmin is always serious." he replied and Jaejong couldn't agree more.

 

 

~ON THE NEXT DAY~

 

Sungmin had her hair layered and styled by Donghae. She also did her make-up, simple but still attractive to express her natural beauty. Ryeowook is also here, already waiting by her bed with a beautiful pink and black short dress. Sungmin told them about her date with Kyuhyun this evening and they gladly offered themselves to help.

 

“You’re so beautiful, baby girl.” Complimented Donghae when Sungmin comes out from her dressing room, perfectly dressed.

 

Sungmin’s smile bloom by her praise. Yesung and Ryeowook said the same thing but not Eunhyuk. He was sulking when Sungmin came downstairs looking beautiful amidst an angel, as always. Sungmin laughed at his attic. She kissed Eunhyuk’s pout away and the elder smile again.

 

Kyuhyun was also utterly mesmerized seeing Sungmin that evening. He extended his hand to which welcomed by Sungmin gladly. The two of them leave Lee residence in Kyuhyun’s car towards a restaurant. Kyuhyun has planned something very special for Sungmin. And Sungmin seems satisfied by it.

 

“It’s so beautiful.” Sungmin complimented when Kyuhyun handed him a bouquet of flowers, her favorite.

 

“Glad that you like it.” I spend so much time thinking what to get.

 

Kyuhyun told his inner-self. The waiter came and Kyuhyun ordered their dinner together with a bottle of wine. When Sungmin ask what is the occasion, he reasoned that he just want to taste it. Sungmin laughed at the joke. Kyuhyun honestly has something on his sleeves that she can tell.

 

Their dinner arrived in no time and they enjoyed it while listening to the soft music from the restaurant's audio. Kyuhyun has a smile on his face while staring at Sungmin.

 

"You've stopped." he suddenly said.

 

"Eh?"

 

"You're not wearing contact lenses anymore." he added.

 

"Ah, you mean this?" Sungmin unconsciously touch the corner of her eyes, "Anyeppo?" She questioned cutely.

 

Kyuhyun laughed, "It's beautiful, Sungmin. It has always been." he compliment.

 

A smile automatically formed on Sungmin. She feels touched by Kyuhyun's praise.

 

"Since when did you stop wearing?"

 

Sungmin hummed thinking, "It's been a while, on and off. But, officially was after I resigned from the company." she said, "Since I am no longer associated with strangers or new people around me, I think it's about time that I stopped lying to myself. Appa also…agree with me on this." She said.

 

"You should have done it sooner. There's no need to hide yourself, you know." Kyuhyun retorted.

 

Sungmin chuckled to Kyuhyun's surprise, "I hide it for myself, Kyu."

 

"Eh?"

 

"You know that my eyes is my complex right?" Sungmin's eyes glassed, "I wear contact to hide my true identity. Also, I want to ease my appa's heart. I didn't want him to blame himself for my past. I didn't want to hurt him more than I already did." she admitted.

 

Kyuhyun had his eyes fixed looking at Sungmin. She’s smiling but the tears glistening in her eyes showed the opposite of her smile.

 

"I know it's normal with the technology nowadays for a person to have many kinds of eye colors of their choice. But, people can still recognize whether it's natural or not. And I...don't really like other people's eyes looking at me when they realized about my eyes." Sungmin expressed.

 

It was her first time to ever speak of such thing to Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun knew the story behind Sungmin's fear but he never knows the real truth from Sungmin's side.

 

She has been through so many difficult times. He thought inside.

 

"You don't think that it's weird, Kyu?" Sungmin suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

 

"What is?" he asked back.

 

"Well...about my eyes...my background...and my true identity of being...an illegitimate child." her head lowered in sadness, “Is it weird?”

 

Kyuhyun smiled thinly, "Why would I feel that?"

 

Sungmin shrugged, “I don’t know…” she replied softly.

 

Their eyes meet with each other warmly, "It's not your choice to choose your background and how you look like, Sungmin. It's your nature. And believe me, it's beautiful." Kyuhyun voiced out.

 

Sungmin's heart flowered. She could almost feel her heart bursting by the happiness. She and Kyuhyun share a genuine smile to each other. She never thought that she would ever experience such happiness again, especially from someone who once hurt her in the past. But, the past has passed. And, even though it's in the past, she couldn't lie... Kyuhyun did have a special place inside her heart.

 

“Ah, excuse me for a min. Wait here.” Kyuhyun gets up from his seat and left without saying anything else, making Sungmin blankly staring.

 

Sungmin turned her attention to her phone. While waiting, she thinks it’s best to answer some of her friend’s messages. Out of sudden, the light dims into darkness. Sungmin looks around in panic and so did the other customers. But, when the light shines at one corner where a piano situated, Sungmin’s eyes widened.

 

“Hello.” Kyuhyun greeted through the mic, smiling sheepishly.

 

Sungmin was still in shocked watching. Kyuhyun coughed and adjusted the mic. His gaze fixed looking at Sungmin.

 

“Lee Sungmin.” he called.

 

Another light shines on Sungmin’s table. Sungmin blushed when all attention suddenly focused on her.

 

“I’ve once hurt you.” Kyuhyun started, “I’ve also make you cry. I’m sorry. I really am. But, you’re so kind and still accept me. You still want to be my friend and stay by my side. Thank you. There’s nothing else I could hope for...except for a chance.” He smiled awkwardly towards Sungmin.

 

His finger pushed the piano key. One, two and slowly it turned into a very melodious tune.

 

I can show you the world

 

Everyone stunned. Aladdin? They all had the same thought.

 

Shining, shimmering, splendid

 

Tell me princess, now when did

 

You last let you heart decide?

 

Sungmin smiled. She’s didn’t expect such a choice of song came from Kyuhyun. And yet, she felt Kyuhyun’s sincerity. It meant for her.

 

A whole new world

 

A new fantastic point of view

 

No one to tell us no or where to go

 

Or say we’re only dreaming

 

A whole new world a dazzling place I never knew

 

But when I’m way up here, it’s crystal clear

 

That I’m in a whole new world with you

 

Sungmin was smiling all the way Kyuhyun was singing the song. Everyone also, enjoyed Kyuhyun’s husky voice reminiscing their childhood where they were a child and nothing but happy. Where they all had the same dream fairy tale life.

 

“Lame song, Kyu.” Sungmin commented at the end of the performance when Kyuhyun is back to their table.

 

Kyuhyun laughed, “It is time to start a new world.” He exclaimed smugly.

 

That’s his intention all along. His dinner date with Sungmin, their small talk and his lame song, every one of it is for a new start of their relationship. All he wants is for an opportunity from Sungmin. He didn’t want to ask much because he knew Sungmin is still in the process of healing. So, to be given a chance to stay beside the one he loved, Kyuhyun is thankful enough. Time will help him.

 

 

/////

 

 

“What?!” Minjung slammed the glass she’s been holding, shocked, “What do you mean my contract is canceled? Why?!” she enraged.

 

“I’m sorry Minjung-ssi. We are just following orders.”

 

“But…”

 

“We will compensate the loss that you have but, please understood that, the decision already been made and we can’t do anything to amend it. I’m sorry.” The man nodded for the last time and left.

 

Minjung was left gawking at the man in the room. She groaned and quickly dialed for Jonghyun. She informed the matter to the man and to be expected, Jonghyun is also surprised.

 

“My contract was terminated, Jonghyun! How can you expect me to calm down?” she screamed onto the phone.

 

Jonghyun sighed, “I know that you’re angry Minjung. Just let me talk to the management.”

 

“It’s useless now!” she retorted.

 

“Raging like an idiot will not going to solve anything. Just come home.” Jonghyun ordered, sternly.

 

Minjung opens to retort but stopped midway when Jonghyun once again ordered her. She groaned and packed her things to leave. Even though Jonghyun is just a manager to Minjung, he has known the woman long enough to be able to control her. He also knew, what is happening at the moment will need for his interpretation to settle.

 

Minjung walked towards the lift sparing her fake smile whenever someone greeted her. She’s really not in the mood but she needs to maintain her image as the celebrity especially at such a big company.

 

“Oppa!” suddenly she heard a girl’s voice.

 

Alerted by the voice calling, Minjung hides. She takes a peek and surprised to see Sungmin there, someone she never expect to see. The one Sungmin greeted, Yunho the CEO of LSM Corp smiles upon seeing her. She watches their interaction behind the corner.

 

“Did you come to see me?” she hears Yunho asking.

 

Sungmin nodded happily.

 

Are they close? Since when? Questioned Minjung mentally unconsciously glared at them.

 

After a few small talks, Sungmin followed Yunho into his office and Minjung comes out from her hiding. She approached one of Yunho’s workers and started interrogates.

 

“Who is that girl just now?” she directly questioned.

 

“Eh? Who?”

 

“The one who followed Mr Jang inside just now, a girl.” Minjung urged.

 

“Oh, you mean Miss Lee?”

 

Miss Lee? Minjung’s eyes twitches by the name.

 

“She is Mr Jang’s acquaintance. Miss Lee usually comes here to keep a company with Mrs Jang.”

 

“Even Mrs Jang? They are that close?”

 

The worker nodded reluctantly, “I don’t understand their relationship either but I’ve heard they’re had a secret relationship.” She added, whispering.

 

Minjung seriously didn’t like the information. The fact that Sungmin and the CEO are close is very suspicious. She can’t but suspect Sungmin has something to do with her contract termination. And with just that thought, she felt angry.

 

“Are you fine going alone?” asked Ryeowook while Sungmin is packing her things inside her purse.

 

Sungmin nodded, “I’m just going to my apartment, Wookie. Then, I’ll come back.”

 

“But, it’s already six. Who would come to the house?”

 

Sungmin laughed slightly, “No one is coming. I’m just packing up few things of mine and I’ll be back right away.”

 

Ryeowook stares at her, frowning.

 

“I’ll be fine.” Sungmin hugged her assurance, “Remember that I love you, Wookie. So much.” She confessed.

 

Ryeowook sighed and return the hug. She also confessed the same thing. Sungmin left right after with a smile and waving back. Ryeowook continues watching until her car disappears from the road.

 

“Wookie.” Tiffany called her.

 

“Coming.” She gets back to her work but still with a worried face. She didn’t understand why but she honestly didn’t feel so calm. She shrugged away her back feelings and hopes that there’s nothing.

 

Sungmin’s phone rings while she’s packing. She picks it up.

 

“Hello, Kyu.”

 

The other person instantly smiled hearing her voice, “Hey Min. where are you?”

 

“Me? At the apartment.”

 

“Eh? Why?”

 

Chuckling by the question, Sungmin answered, “I’m taking some things back to my house. I’ve told you I’m going to sell this apartment, right?”

 

Kyuhyun awkwardly laughed, “I forgot. I’ll fetch you then.” He said.

 

“But Kyu…I’ve got my car. I can drive back home on my own.” Sungmin retorted.

 

“I’ll ask my dad’s driver to fetch it. And says who that you’re going home?”

 

“Eh?”

 

“I’ll pick you up and we’ll go for dinner.” He decided.

 

Sungmin laughed lightly, “Aren’t you busy, Kyu? I’ve heard from Kanginie oppa that you’re working on a new project.” She reasoned.

 

A tired sigh was heard from the other line followed by a groan.

 

“Yeah, partly because of that is the reason why I’m asking for a dinner with you.” He said, purposely sound dejected.

 

A smile automatically formed on Sungmin. Kyuhyun might have given her a ridiculous reason but honestly she felt the sincerity behind it. She admitted that she did enjoy Kyuhyun’s company. The least, it makes her forget few hurtful things.

 

“So, are you on?”

 

Sungmin hummed, trailing an answer on purpose. After a light growl from Kyuhyun, she finally agreed. Kyuhyun cheered.

 

“I’ll come in an hour. Will it be enough time for you?”

 

“Yeah. It’s enough.” She replied the man.

 

“Okay then…”

 

“Ah, Kyu.” Sungmin called, stopping the call before it gets cut off.

 

“Hm?”

 

“Thank you.” She whispered as low it can be but clearly heard by Kyuhyun.

 

Kyuhyun chuckled, “Thanks to you too, Ming.” He said and they both had a smile on after hung up the call.

 

Sungmin then, continues sorting out her things. There is not much to do, but she needs to make sure that nothing privacy is left. She walks into her bedroom and sees a picture hanging by the wall. It‘s a picture of Mount in Jeju Island, a place where she visited together with her family a few years back.

 

Seeing the scenery picture of the vast green field, suddenly reminded Sungmin of the secret place that Siwon once took her. Siwon, she repeated the name mentally. It’s a name that she finds so difficult to forgive and forget. He is someone dearly to her, once.

 

~Flashback~

 

“Let’s get married, here Sungmin.”

 

“What?” Sungmin gawked at such sudden proposal.

 

“Well, you said you love this place. Look at the green grass and fantastic view. Its vast clear blue sky that is unreachable. The wind blows which full of love. It’s perfect for a wedding. Furthermore, you said you father might like this place, so, isn’t it a good idea? We don’t have to decorate much too. What do you think?” he proposed, opened his arms wide to the view.

 

Sungmin could almost see sparkles in Siwon’s eyes by the talk. But, truthfully she’s still in shock by the sudden talk of marriage. She never ever thought about it before. She stared at Siwon with a lopsided grin on his face and couldn’t help but feels a tint of happiness. A smile slowly formed on her lips.

 

After a long though, she nodded shyly, agreeing.

 

“Thank you!” and Siwon crushed Sungmin into a bear hug, “I know it’s going to be perfect!” he exclaimed, planting kisses on every corner of Sungmin’s face.

 

Sungmin giggled, feels so ticklish being showered by love like that.

 

“But, don’t worry!” he suddenly stopped, once again surprised Sungmin, “I promise that I’ll make a proper proposal first. I’ll make it unforgettable for us all.” Told Siwon to Sungmin.

 

~Flashback end~

 

Sungmin took a deep breath. I should forget about him. She reminded herself. The sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted her thought of the past. She frowned and looks at the watch on her wrist.

 

Kyu? But it was just 15 minutes passed. It couldn’t be him, right? She asked strangely but still taking her steps to open the door.

 

 

/////

 

 

“Ah.” Ryeowook cried softly.

 

Yesung who was beside her was shocked, “What? What is it?” he asked a little panic.

 

Ryeowook chuckled.

 

“There’s nothing, oppa.” She said, patting the worried hands, “DO just kick me. Maybe he sensed something.”

 

“DO just kick?”

 

Ryeowook nodded to her husband’s worries. Yesung sighed in relief. He touched her bulging belly gently and rubbed it.

 

“You scared me, son. I thought your umma was in pain or something.” He speaks to his son, “You better behave yourself. Don’t give your umma a hard time.” He warned him.

 

“Oh oppa…”

 

Yesung just grin at his wife. Ryeowook smiled and grateful for the concern he showed. But, truthfully she also felt something just before the kick. She could almost feel a bad feeling about to happen.

 

Sungmin? She called, suddenly feels not right.
