Back to work

You're My Hero [Searching for Co-Author]

She didn’t stop crying. The tears flowed endlessly from her eyes which grew redder and swollen. There was a great pain in her chest as if it’s been torn apart and she had these questions growing inside her head. Why did these things happen? When did Jungsu acquire his ailment? Why is it that he never told her about it? Is that why he suddenly asked her to elope with him? Why did he dump her when the news about the baby came out? There are lots of questions that only Park Jungsu could answer. And now that he’s gone, Taeyeon can never get those answers. And that’s what hurts her more. She cannot see her beloved anymore. Despite everything that he’s done, she still loves him. Even so, there’s nothing else that she can do now but cry.

“Taeyeon-ah.” A voice called out. “Let’s go home already. You must take some rest.”

Taeyeon looked up and saw Yunho. She quickly stood up and quickly wrapped her arms around him and cried even louder.

“Yunho-sshi!!!!!!!! Yunho-sshi!!!!!”

It’s all that she can say. There’s nothing more that she can utter. It’s as if Yunho was her shoulder to cry on. Yunho, surprised by her tight grip on him, slowly held Taeyeon as well. He comforts her as usual. It’s the best thing that he can do.

“Let’s go home. You need to rest.”

Taeyeon pulled away from the hug and they both walked towards where Yunho’s car is. They rode the car and started driving back home. Yunho kept on glancing at Taeyeon at the back seat. She isn’t asleep and yet she still looks vulnerable and innocent as she stares at the city’s night life, tear tracks evident on her face. Occasionally, tears fall down and she would wipe it immediately. How did Yunho manage to drive when his attention is 80% on Taeyeon? Well that’s the genius that he is. He can drive that well.

They reached Yunho’s apartment a few moments later. Unlike the previous days, Yunho didn’t carry Taeyeon until they reach the pad because Taeyeon is awake. Yunho parked the car and opened the door for Taeyeon. Taeyeon broke away from her thoughts and got off of the car. She slowly walked towards the building.

Yunho walked behind her, looking at her misery. Things are going on crazily. With her current state, how can he not feel this way? How can’t he feel like holding her, telling her not to cry, telling her to let go, find another love, to look at him finally. Yunho let out a sigh. He doesn’t understand himself anymore. Or better yet, he doesn’t want to understand himself anymore.

Taeyeon went straight to her bedroom and locked the door behind her. She continued crying. She didn’t mind being a crybaby and she didn’t care about the baby. She will mourn for Jungsu’s death. She will be mourning for their moments together and for the happiness that they both shared.

“Jungsu-sshi… Saranghaeyo… Saranghae…”

Yunho also stayed awake inside his bedroom. He kept on denying his feelings and sympathy. Not the usual Jung Yunho that he is, he gulped beer from his refrigerator. Suddenly, his phone rang.

“Hello.”

“It’s me.” The other guy on the phone said.

“What do you want?”

“I’m just… I just wanted to know if both of you are already home.”

“Oh, yes we are. Anything more Jae?”

“Are you drinking beer right now Jung Yunho?” Jaejoong asked.

“What?! Waeyo?”

“Are you mourning for Park Jungsu too?” Jaejoong asked.

“Ani…”

“Then why. Why are you being like that, Yunho?”

“Why not?!” Yunho asked. He obviously had the effect of alcohol in his system right now.

“You simply aren’t like that. I’ll talk to you when you’re better.”

Jaejoong hang up. He is now certain about his best friend. “Oh man. He’s in love.”

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

It was a busy Monday morning at JP Enterprises. Yoochun came out of the elevator with his yellow longsleeves and gray pants and his forever charm. He enjoyed glances and greetings from his subordinates as he walks towards his own office. A few more steps and he reached his office. He opened the door and saw his desk. His eyes almost popped out of its socket.

“What the hell are those papers doing on my desk?” Yoochun asked.

“I didn’t know sir.” The secretary, Lee Sunkyu, said.

“You don’t know? You are my secretary and you don’t know?” Yoochun asked calmly.

Suddenly, Jung Yunho’s secretary came running towards both of them. “My apologies! My apologies Mr. Park!”

“Waeyo?”

"I have to put everything on your desk because Mr. Jung still hasn’t returned to work and those papers are really important. You are the only one who can attend to it, sir.” Seo Joohyun explained.

“Oh, is that so?” Yoochun asked.

Joohyun nodded.

“Great.” Yoochun said sarcastically. “That Jung Yunho! He better come back now!” He finally sat down in front of the huge piles of paper and started getting to work.

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

Yunho woke up with everything beside him like it was last night. There were still empty beer cans and lots of things are messed up. He growled and started moving.

“Ow!” He felt a huge pain on his temples. “Hangover.” He concluded.

He slowly moved and stood up, heading towards the kitchen, anniyo, to check out Taeyeon. He held the door knob of his own room and it opened on its own. Taeyeon smiled in front of him. With her is a tray of breakfast.

Yunho couldn’t help but be mesmerized. Even though he could still trace the sadness somewhere in her eyes, Taeyeon still had the charm she always have. Taeyeon let herself in and landed the tray on the table top. Yunho slowly walked towards her and hugged her from behind. Taeyeon felt a little bit shocked about it.

“Y-Yunho-sshi…”

Realizing what he is doing, Yunho quickly broke the hug and straightened himself. “I’m sorry. I’m just surprised to see you like that today. And I’m glad about it.” Yunho smiled. Taeyeon smiled as well.

“Komawo.” Taeyeon said.

“Ani, that’s what someone has to do for you.” Yunho said.

“I don’t care. I still want to thank you for looking after me and my troubles.” Taeyeon smiled once again.

They both smiled at each other for about a minute before they realize they still have to do chores and everything else. And so they both laughed. They went to the dining room to have some better breakfast.

“Yah, kwaenchana?” Yunho asked.

“I’m coping.” Taeyeon said firmly, slicing the scrambled egg she’s eating. “Do not worry anymore. I will be fine very soon.” She showed off her reassuring smile once again.

Yunho couldn’t help but smile as well. “Arasso, Arasso. That’s how you should always be.”

They continued eating and then they did some household chores together. It’s almost lunch time when Yunho received a call.

“Answer that. I know you’ve been missing your work a lot.” Taeyeon said.

“You know me that much now huh.” Yunho commented. He took the call.

“Wae? Bwo?! Andwae! That can’t be! How can that happen? Right now?! Are you certain? Arasso, arasso, I’ll go.”

“You need to go to work?” Taeyeon asked to confirm.

“Yeah, it seems like it.” Yunho said.

He quickly took a bath and fixed himself. He was about to go and yet he’s having problems with his tie. Taeyeon approached him and helped him deal with it.

“You must focus on your work now, huh. I’m being such a big burden to you. Don’t worry about me because I’ll be fine. I’m Kim Taeyeon, remember?”

“Yah, don’t commit suicide and clean the house instead.” Yunho chuckled. “I’ll be right back.”

Yunho left the house for work and now Taeyeon was left alone again. Taeyeon just sighed and went back to her work.

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

I parked my car on my usual spot. This day is the first time I returned to work after I found Taeyeon. If I’m still a highschooler then my teacher would drop me already. Good thing school’s over. I am the boss of this company, alongside Park Yoochun. Jung-Park Enterprises, a joint corporation. We run lots of businesses. Name it, we have it. We both came from rich parents, that’s why we own this huge company. Our parents, however, are enjoying their vacation somewhere around Europe and so we are currently doing things in here, hands on.

And so, here I am, entering the building, catching glances from everyone who eventually greets me as a sign of respect. Shall I say because if they don’t, I’ll fire them? Oh, yes, I guess so. I am never that bad as a boss anyway so I would always return their smile.

My office is on the 20th floor. I took the elevator and luckily, it was empty. I pressed the button 20 and the elevator started going up. Once the elevator reached the 20th floor, the first one I saw outside was none other than Park Yoochun.

“Yah! Jung Yunho!” he shouted.

I seemed to be so surprised. “W-wae?” I asked as I got off of the elevator.

“You must go to this office daily from now on. I’ve been doing all the work for you and it’s no fun! Why is the company called JP Enterprises when you don’t work, Jung?” Yoochun asked. Man, he’s serious.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for being so irresponsible. I’ll work harder from now on.” I swore.

“Make sure you do. I know you are the best businessman alive, Yunho. Don’t think about Taeyeon now, let Jaejoong accompany her. You know he doesn’t have much to do since he’s still not accepting acting offers.” Yoochun suggested.

“Arasso, arasso. I did call him to accompany her. I did it all the time and he complains about being Taeyeon’s babysitter but he still comes.” My best friend is really a gentle man.

“Nice. Now, let’s get back to work.” Yoochun smiled and patted my shoulder.

We both head towards our own offices and the piles of paper works were divided between us to. I have 75% of those and I deserve that. It’s been a relief that Yoochun works for me for the past week. I have to work overtime from now on. I must keep JP Enterprises going.

A minute or two passed and I heard a knock on the door. “Who dare disturb me with my work?” The knock didn’t stop. “Come in!”

My secretary Seo Joohyun entered, a cup of coffee with her. “I know you will need this sir.”

This friend of mine is really an efficient secretary. “Komawo.” I took the coffee and sipped a little.

“Yunho-sshi, there’s someone who wishes to see you today.”

“Tell that someone that I am too busy to entertain anyone today. I have to finish all of these today so I won’t meet anyone today.” I said firmly. I really don’t want any other disruption.

“Arasso. “ Joohyun bowed and was about to leave.

“I’ll just summon you if I need anything else. Remember, I don’t want any visitor for this day.”

She bowed once again and went out of my office. Here I am, stuck with my paper works. It will be a long day for me, Jung Yunho. Hwaiting!
