The Boys and Men of Her Life

Description

Walking their path through life, everyone meet persons that will forever hold a special place in their heart. Jung Eunji is not the exception – lots of guys have appeared in her life, but memories of only few of them will remain in her eyes unforgettable. Friends, crushes, admirers, boyfriends – all of them have shaped and made her the person she has become. If it hadn't been for them, she probably wouldn't be where she is now. And for that, Eunji will always be thankful to the boys and men of her life.

Foreword

Hello, my dear possible-future-readers!

If you're reading this, it means that you have somehow come across my story, whether it was by accident, out of curiosity or your love for anyone from the listed characters – I'm really glad and thankful anyway! And I will be even more, if you decide to stick around longer!

It's been a long time since I wrote anything and moreover, this is actually my first time writing a fic in English and here. As I'm probably a bit rusty when it comes to writing and I'm not a native English speaker, bear with me and forgive me any errors and mistakes!

This little story can be considered as a series of interlinked oneshots – they probably won't be packed with lots of action, since they will be mainly excerpts of Eunji's memories. But still, I hope there will be someone who will enjoy it.

Please, don't be a silent reader – I will be really grateful to you for all kinds of comments and criticism, so that I could improve or just communicate with you, guys!

I probably won't be updating regularly, because my college is taking up lots of my time, but here's at least a short teaser/foreword, so enjoy and tell me your impression! Thank you!

“Well, it was nice to run into old friends yesterday, right?” My husband asks as he comes to kitchen with our two-year old son in his arms.

“It certainly was,” I smile and kiss both of them, “which is why I have called them few minutes ago and invite them to come over for a dinner next week.”

“That's great. Oh, did you know that they're actually expecting their second child? When I think about it, they were such a sweet couple, who would constantly dream about having lots of kids. But I find it funny now, that you used to have a big crush on him.” Even though I'm preparing a lunch and thus not facing him, I can hear his amused chuckle.

“I didn't have big crush on him!” I defend myself.

“Oh, you did, Eunji. And a huge one. Which is also one of the reasons why it took you so long to notice me.”

Everytime he gets a little bit jealous, my husband has this cute expression and a tiny wrinkle in the forehead, which I love. However, I get too embarrassed at his mention of my unrequited love and complete blindness, that I can't look at him and I start to cut the carrots even more vehemently.

“Who is Appa's big boy, who is? Be nice and sit down here, okay? That's right. Appa will be right back with something delicious for you.” He says and put our little son into his chair. Then he approaches me and hugs me from behind, placing his head on my shoulder. “Eunji, you know that I'm just joking, right?” He murmurs and place a peck on my neck. “I'm the luckiest man in the world, and I couldn't be more happier to be the one you chose to spend the rest of your life with.”

Being this close, I feel his breath on my neck and the nice smell of his aftershave. After all this time together, these little things and his warm unmistakeable voice saying my name still never fail to make my head dizzy and the butterflies in my stomach going crazy.

“Not as happy as I am.”

“So tell me about the others.” He let me go and pours the baby food I've made earlier into a small bowl.

“Huh?”

“About the guys before me.” He smiles when he sees the confused expression on my face.

“You want to hear about my love life,” I stop stirring the soup and look at him oddly again,“isn't it kind of... weird? I mean, you listening to the stories about my ex-boyfriends.”

“Well, if you put it like that, then yes, it is little bit strange. I'm just curious, but not really about all the guys you've dated before me.”

“About who then?”

He puts his hands around my waist before he answers simply. “Only about those who truly changed you and your life, those who played a meaningful role, those who you will always remember. I want to hear about the boys and men of your life.”

Chapter 8: Woah, I can't believe that I did not see this fanfic long time ago. It was such a great one--no, screw that--it was fantastic. The words, the structure, all clear and makes the reader intrigued. Oh what am I even saying, I'm not even an English teacher nor a native English speaker. Anyways, great job on your first English fanfic. I have to say that I learned quite few things from you and that the fanfic was a success. Fighting!! ^^

Chapter 8: I dunno but I had Chanji in mind the whole time reading this, and may be expecting it to be Suji at times. But Chenji, it was quite a surprise but a pleasant one. And for the first time writing in English, this is awesome. You are so good with your words; I can actually picture every detail clearly. And I have to agree with the previous comments : this is one of the best stories i have read in aff, so far. Thank you for your stories. Please keep writing :)

Chapter 8: Goshh..This was one of the best written stories I've read in aff...(largely due to how much I love Chenji :D)
I loved all the previous chapters, all the guys' interaction with Eunji AND the ending!
Though I would probably have been satisfied even if she had ended up with any of the previous guys (except Lee Joon probably ;) ), as I had trust in you that you had clear ending
I don't know what else I can say as I'm still taking in the story. This has definitely ignited the Chenji feels, so I need to go write or something, haha.
I hope your exams went well, and I'm really looking forward to your future stories (Which hopefully will be in English. You have great English btw!)
Thank you for the great story Arie <3

Chapter 8: It's a nice ending! (-: I realize that I shouldn't care about who's the husband. Even if the husband isn't someone I wanted, it's still a sweet ending. Keke, and the fact that Chen stayed with Eunji from the start like how can he not deserve Jung Eunji? I am not a chenji shipper but yet, this story can make me you know like somehow.. acck, I can't explain it. Hahaha!

Congratulations for completing this story, author-nim. You did great! :D

I really can't wait for you next story though! I would love to read your upcoming stories :D

It's so sweet and endearing. Chen deserved her to be her husband, the facts that he was always being near eunji from the start kyaaa :')

So, congratulations for you, my dear authornim (+ my seonsangnim)
You did it very well!
