Epilogue | Live, Love and Laugh

 

 

 

 

 

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we get."

 

--

 

"Wooohooo!!! Nurse Seohyun is on the way!!!" For Seohyun, choosing to live in her dreams, no matter how long it takes, No matter how many circumstances it may take -- is a winner. But to be honest, all of these is happening because of the people around her, not just for herself.

 

"Yul! Yah! Doctor Yul. Wait up! I have something to say!" And definitely, one of them is her friend - a very much good friend and a good father to their twins, Kwon Yul. 2 years later, this man has been doing good. Not just for his studies and company, but also a father for both Paul and Daniel.

 

Stopping on his tracks, Yul turned around, crossing his arms while smiling so handsomely to a girl that almost everybody in the campus loves. Wait, he also loves her, but not the same as yesterday anymore. He had move on -- I tell you. 

 

"I know what you're happy right now. Just 2 months left? Congrats, best!" Yul happily greeted Seohyun with his warming embrace, and really, a tight one. "My kids will be the happiest and the proudest twins."

 

"Thank you. But I did not call you for this. I... " Seohyun stops half way with her words, as she forcibly pulled back from Yul's embrace. The latter's eyebrows creased, the moment they locked their gazes. "Haven't you remember? It's the twins birthday today. And you have to be there. In Im Mansion. This year's theme is Superman. Paul won the game he had with his brother yesterday, so it's his theme this year. hehe."

 

"Oh God -- wait." Roughly, Yul rummage on his backpack, trying to find his smartphone. And when he got it, he quickly opens his reminder notes. "Oh, it's really today. Damn, How did I forgot?" He seriously physically smack his forehead.

 

"Tch, you're busy thinking of someone, were you?" Seohyun teases, nudging Yul in the process.

 

"What?! Someone? I don't know what you're talking about." Yul ignored Seohyun's teased, as he busy himself, sending messages to his office (that is now Im-Kwon Internationals after its merge), a certain someone, all about the sudden change of his schedule. 

 

"Last night -- No it's definitely not last night only. It started a week ago when Paul and Daniel came to the masters bedroom, asking me if I already know their Appa has been seeing someone for about 5 months now -- by the name of... Jessica Jung? Precisely, Lawyer Jung, eh?" Seohyun continued to tease.

 

Yul still ignores. By this time, he calls someone on the phone. Rolling her eyes, Seohyun got more reason to tease the guy when she realized there was a red rose obviously in the latter's open backpack. She stole it and started waving the red rose to the latter's face. 

 

Yul's face turned a little red, as he quickly snatch the flower and, "No. Behave, Best. I'll just finish this call first." He put the red rose to his backpack and swiftly took Seohyun's two hands and hold her in place, so he won't be getting more things inside his backpack.

 

"Fine. I'm zipping my mouth now." 

 

Yul smiled secretly as he continue to speak through his phone. Seohyun did behave, but he can still see her staring back and forth to his backpack and then to him, as if asking him if there's more things he is hiding inside. Apparently, there's a chocolate he also put inside. He is planning to give it to Jessica today for their 'date'. But it seems they can't do it today, with his twins birthday. He shouldn't be missing it - otherwise, he will owe them 4 Airplanes. To add on the boys' collections. 

 

Shortly, Yul finished his conversation and finally put his attention back to Seohyun.

 

"Now what?"

 

Without any doubts, Seohyun ask Yul, "What's the score between you and Jessica?"

 

"Jessica and I are friends."

 

"How come?"

 

Rolling his eyes, Yul turned and casually walks in the hallway, with Seohyun next to him. "I don't know yet. We are good friends but we hang out something like that only."

 

"Do you like her?" Seohyun is really interested. 2 years ago, Yul has been so lonely because she moved on before him.

 

"I do. But... "

 

"What?"

 

Stopping on his tracks, Yul faced his former lover. He sighed, couldn't believe he is sharing his love life to a girl he had love before. "Jessica Jung is busy as a a law student for your information. Well I think she knows I like her, it's just that -- I seldom see her. That means, I don't really know her much. I couldn't guarantee we would be in a dating relationship, whatsoever."

 

"I see... " Seohyun bit her lip. Now she knows why Yul doesn't want to talk about it. The girl is a serious type of a person - she thinks. "But are you courting her?"

 

"We do dates, but only friendly dates. If she's not busy and I'm not busy." Yul proceeds on his walk.

 

Seohyun was about to react on Yul's words when she suddenly thought of something she almost forgot. Grabbing Yul's hand, she drag him with her all the way to the registrar's office - only to pass her 'Oath of Candidacy'. 

 

"Wow. She's really graduating earlier than me, eh?"

 

"It's not about the age - just continue in your dreams, Yul." 

 

"Coming from the nurse Seo, herself -- Alright, Ma'am, I would definitely do that." Yul playfully saluted, earning a great smile from the mother of his twins.

 

"Keep the attitude, you'll get it."

 

"I know." Grabbing Seohyun by the neck, it's Yul's turn to drag the younger girl. "But before that, let's make this day happen. Twins' 6th birthday party is gonna be awesome." They chuckles, and suddenly runs all the way to the parking lot -- like they're just back as high school kids again.

 

Arriving at the parking lot, Seohyun was about to enter her own car when Yul got her hand, stopping her. 

 

"But you know what Hyun? I'm more than proud of you -- coz you are such a great person." Yul said with a wink. Before Seohyun could slap him, he had already took his own car.

 

Seohyun is shaking his head as she also did the same. 

 

 

 

 

[Seo Twins School]

 

 

"Alright, let's have the Seo-Im Twin Brothers - Paul and Daniel."

 

With the mention of their duo name, both boys looked up and smiled brightly, upon hearing the claps around them. Hastily, the got up from their seats, carrying that one big white paper together in front of the class.

 

"The last time we stood in front of the class, I and my brother presented how does a butterfly becomes a big and beautiful butterfly." Paul started, holding the end of the paper, while his brother does it on the opposite side.

 

"That was a week ago - because the topic is about animals." Daniel added. "But this time, we will be talking about our big and happy family." Again, he shows his infamous cutest smile, gaining the other kid's smiles.

 

"Um, as you guys can see... there's a lady carrying a baby girl, next to another lady, and a man standing to this deer like lady."

 

"And there's us, the twins. We are both looking up -"

 

"The one that was holding a baby is our Omma, and the new addition to the family, Baby Yoonie. She just e, 2 months ago."

 

"Im Yoo Hyun." Daniel corrected with a proud smile. "But we call her Yoonie for short."

 

"Daddy Yoongie is an Im, so she's an Im." Paul explained.

 

"She's our princess! But I quiet doesn't like it. Daddy's attention is always towards her. Prince Paul and Daniel sometimes sulk."

 

"But we both love her."

 

"And take care of her."

 

There was a moment of pause, before Paul continued, "About our Omma, how can I say this... Oh, Two words. Best and Cute."

 

"Why Best and Cute?" Their teacher ask in the corner.

 

"She's the Best mother in the world - and the cutest mother we ever had." Paul smiled, proud of his own choice of words. That he really means a lot. Daniel just nodded, supporting his words.

 

"Next, I think all of our classmates already know Daddy Yoongie. She's Korea's 'Daddy' ever since the phenomenal reality TV show, that my twin brother starred at it. All I can I say is, She's like our Omma sometimes."

 

"You know, sometimes strict just like Omma. But most of the times, she's like a kid because Omma always scold her for spoiling princess Yoonie. Who wouldn't be scolded? Daddy gives whatever Yoonie likes. Of course, Omma doesn't like to see our princess become a spoiled kid."

 

"But what I like about Daddy Yoongie, she's a responsible wife, actress, and Daddy to us. Although we always see her exhausted, she said it's okay -- As long as we are always there for her at the end of the day, cuddling with her. It's always her happines. We are her happiness, Teacher Kim."

 

"Yeah. And Oh, look forward for a 2nd season of 'Take care of me'. It will not only be me and Daddy anymore. Paul and Yoonie is casted to our Show."

 

"You're spoiling them about the show. Daddy said it should be keep until the official announcement. You will be scolded once we got home." Paul just scolded his brother in front of the class, causing for laughter around.

 

"Just like Daddy to Yoonie. I know Daddy won't." Daniel stuck his tongue out, and then giggles.

 

Paul sighed, couldn't argue back. "Moving on, this is our Appa. Yes, our real Appa. Just like Daddy, he is always a good father to us. Though we don't live under the same roof with him, he would never forget visiting us. Oh, we actually sleep with him during weekends. And sometimes if both Daddy and Omma are busy, we go to his condo and spend the day with him."

 

"He seriously visits always. Just like here, in our School. I love my Appa so much now! We always play and go around the country. I love him."

 

"Better than your Daddy?" One kid ask so loud.

 

"We love the both of them." Daniel and Paul chorused.

 

"Aigoo, twins, just continue." The teacher instructed.

 

"Yes." The twins answer in chorus again.

 

As then, Paul continued, "Then there's us. Why we are looking up to our parents in the drawing?"

 

"It was because we both dream to be like them. A kind person and a responsible one."

 

"Yeah, and both of us dreams to be a Doctor. Just like Appa."

 

"I think I should dream of a nurse, No? So Daddy and Omma will not be sad." Daniel snickered, realizing that they both have the same dream.

 

"Paul, Tell me about Daniel at home." The teacher interrupted, causing for Paul to smile. He liked the idea.

 

Daniel didn't miss this and send his brother a threatening stare. Asking him to tell the 'good Daniel' not the naughty one. But much to his dismay, Paul didn't buy his best glare. He told the class the entire truth about him, at home.

 

"Daniel -- he's my twin brother ever since 2 years ago. Honestly, at first, I don't know. I was four years old when I knew about him as my twin brother. I was really happy. But too bad, he's just the opposite side of me. He didn't accept me that instant. I understand however, because for all of his life... he thought he only have his Omma. He loves our Omma so much, just like me. But later on, he accepted me. Must be because Omma is just too good to make him realize it. And about how he is at home? He is a naughty kid not just at home, but also outside. Daddy and Omma have to be so patience when it comes to him. But teacher, do you know why I love him despite from his naughtiness?" Paul paused, as he turned to their teacher in the corner.

 

"Why, Paul?"

 

Paul looked at his brother. The latter was staring at at him too, but with a pout that he sense, he is melting him. "I love Danny because he is making our family bright and happy but at the same time cry because of his naughtiness... But you know what? He is not just a naughty kidwolf, he is also sweet and loving brother, and son."

 

"Aww... " The kids are melting to Paul's words.

 

"Daniel? What can you say about your brother?"  Their teacher even shed a single tear, watching the twins staring into each other.

 

Daniel is a strong kid too - even though he wants to cry like their teacher is doing, he keep it in and stood still, facing their classmates. "What can I say? My brother is just like my mother. He is too perfect to even put more words about him. I love him - just like that." He simply says, earning a great smile from his brother.

 

The teacher started to clap her hands, which immediately was done by the whole class. Daniel and Paul bowed, with all great smiles, despite that emotional last part of their presentation.

 

Going back to their seats, Daniel didn't missed and punch his brother's upper arm lightly. Paul smiled back, ruffling his hair momentarily.

 

"So who is older? Paul or Daniel?" Suddenly, one girl ask them from behind.

 

The twins turned and says, "Me!"

 

"No Me!"

 

"Me! I am the older!"

 

"I am the older!!! Omma says!" Paul argued back strongly.

 

​"I was borth first by Omma then you!"

 

"How can that be? We are twins!"

 

"Twins, stop that." Their teacher scolded.

 

Looking down to their laps,they both apologizes. "Sorry Teacher Kim."

 

 

 

 

[Im Mansion - Bathtub]

 

 

 

"Kyaaa! Why I have the cutest daughter on earth!!! Baby, you're Daddy's little girl only, okay? hehehe!" Yoona still couldn't hold herself and squeal, every time her daughter would smile or would laugh with her tiny voice. Not to mention, when her daughter will try to speak something she couldn't understand. It's too cute for her. She really has an adorable daughter. She wanna pinch her cheeks and kiss her a lot of times. "Hmm? Oh yeah, here. Duckie~ Duckie~" giggling, she presses the duck toy on her hand and a water came out - hitting her daughter's chest. The later giggles and laughs, as she tried to catch the water from it. But she would intentionally press it on the other sides, her daughter would follow. She keeps the process for about 2 minutes, until her daughter gives up, she play with the bubbles instead. Her attention shifted to the bubbles. They played for a while on it.

 

Yet, Yoona didn't notice, Yoonie got the other duck and suddenly press it hard, straight to her face.

 

"Yah!"

 

Yoonie chuckles, as she keeps on pressing it more towards her Daddy's face. She was enjoying her reaction. 

 

"Aigoo, aigoo, you wanna play huh?" Yoona keeps on wiping her face from time to time. But the more she does, the more her daughter is playing with the water. "Y-YAH! Daddy had enough!!!" She literally close her eyes tight. But no use. So she open her arms and grab the little girl, pulling her closer to her. "Got cha! I told you to stop already! Aish!" 

 

Yoonie giggles and kissed her Daddy's nose. "Daddy. hehehe Cool~"

 

"Hmm? Your Daddy is cool?"

 

Yoonie says a lot of gibberish words, Yoona giggles and pinches her daughter's cheeks. "Stop talking to me like an ailen again." The latter simply stuck her tongue out, as if she understands her well.

 

"Say Daddy is cool. Daddy I love you. L-Loooveeee... Yooouuu..."

 

"Daddy Cool."

 

"Is. Put an is between Daddy and Cool, come on my princess."

 

"Sssss..." Yoonie end up putting her finger against Yoona's lips, hushing her instead and giggles afterwards.

 

"Geez. I don't know with you."

 

Sunndely hearing her phone ringing to a nearby bench outside the tub, Yoona held her daughter in one arm as she stretch the other to reach for her phone. It's her father calling over again. As she was about to answer the call, Yoonie struggled to let go. 

 

"No. Stay in place, princess. I'm answering a call from your grandpa." Yoona press the answer button, as then, put the screen of the phone against her right ear. "Appa?"

 

Yoonie saw the device and reach for it, trying to steal the phone from her grasp. Yoona hissed and moves her head away to avoid the girl's hands. She had unconsciously let go of the her daughter as she continue the conversation with her father. 

 

"Y-Yeah, Uh... just ask Narsha. She has all the--Aish! Yoonie behave!" Yoona couldn't help it and exclaim when her daughter got the phone and she snatch it back.

 

"Huwaaaaaaaa~~~" Yoonie cried that instant. She thought she made her Daddy mad at her. "Daddy, Chowey~ Daddy Chowey~ Huwaaaa~"

 

"Omo. Omo. Noooo!!! I did not-"

 

[What? Is Yoonie there?]

 

"Y-Yeah, I'm sorry. I'll call you back Appa." with that, Yoona ended the call and quickly toss it on a nearby bench. She quickly pulled her daughter a hug and rubs her back continuously. "I'm so sorry my princess. I did not intentionally do it. I'm sorry too. I'm so sorry."

 

Yoonie slowly stop from crying. she slowly pulled back, only to show her pouting lips. She was sad. "Daddy, chowey."

 

"No-No-No. Don't be sad. Don't mind it anymore, Okay?"

 

Placing her palms on her Daddy's cheeks, Yoonie pulled her head to kiss her lips. And there, she made her Daddy smile again. She also smiled and giggles.  Yoona's heart just can't help it and melt all over again. She's just one year old, she's already so sweet towards her.

 

"Can you kiss me again?" She take advantage, and wanted another one, pointing to her lips. The little girl complied and kiss on her lips. Yoona snickers, pointing to her cheeks as well. "Here, too, my princess."

 

Yoonie didn't mind and kisses her not just once but thrice. Then to the opposite of it, she did the same.

 

"Aww, that's my girl." She was about to grab her again to hug, somehow -- but end up covering her face, when once again, Yoonie had reach for the duck floating in the water and play it with her Daddy one more time.

 

The rest of the bath was spend with more play here and there. Yoo Hyun is so happy her Daddy got to spend with her again. Normally, her mother because of Yoona's hectic schedule recently. Lucky and it's her twins brothers' birthday, her daughter made a day off.

 

 

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

 

 

 

[Master's Bedroom]

 

 

Sh*t. Yoona had a curse under her breath when she noticed her daughter just poo on the diaper she just put on her. Looking up to her, the latter was simply staring innocently, with those small doe-eyes. "Why didn't you tell me you are going to poo right away? Look, we are going to change your diaper again. Omma is going to scold me for wasting another one - don't you know that?!" grimacing a little at the sight, she took the diaper off of her and folded it for so many times, until she had make sure it's less smelly. She reach for her milk on the side and give it to her. "Don't ya ever get up and walk, or you will fall." she said and just really sprinted to the bathroom, then went back without with her clean hands already. 

 

"Aigoo, this is life." She took a wipers and held her daughter's up high, so she can wipe the latter's bum earnestly. When she's done of it, she reach another clean diaper and put it on the latter's lower. After putting on a diaper, she made her sit, so this time, she can put her floral white dress Seohyun prepared for their daughter. 

 

"Put that down first." She put aside the milk and replace it with a small teddy bear, to keep her company. 

 

Suddenly, Yoonie is pointing on something. "Daddy, A. B. C-C...ch..."

 

Yoona put her dress down first before turned to where she is pointing. She smiled when she realized she's pointing the letters in their wall. "Keep going my princess." she take advantage of it, while she put on her underwear and then her shoes.

 

"D-D... Daddy?"

 

"What?" Yoona creased her eyebrows, didn't realized her daughter had stop to the letter where the word Daddy starts from. "What are you trying to say, eh?"

 

"D-D. Daddy." Yoonie says it back with more emphasis on the letter.

 

"Omo. Are you saying that you know Daddy starts with letter D?" Yoona exclaimed happily.

 

Yoonie innocently nodded her head -- Yoona chuckles, seeing it for the first time. She literally squeezes her and kisses her face a lot of times. 

 

"Kaki! Kaki! Kaki!" Happy Yoonie stepped back, so she could keep on jumping and up and down.

 

Yet, Yoona seemed to know what's in her daughter's mind why she suddenly becomes so happy, jumping. "No Kaki for you. We are going to the studio today - fetching your older brothers." the word Kaki for her daughter means 'walk', but since her plan is to bring her daughter along with the others, she can't let her what she likes - this time.

 

"Kaki. Daddy, Kaki. Yoonie Kaki."

 

"No, Kaki. Come here." Yoona still insist, as she reach for her daughter's hair - typing it to an apple style.

 

Yoonie behaves, as she held her Daddy's wrist, for a support. After a while, when it's done, she looked up and smiled. Yoona fixed her hair a little and then pulled her dress, she pulled back to show a thumbs up. 

 

"Hold on." However, she suddenly thought of a sunglasses. She hastily reach for her daughter's pink sunglass on top of the night stand and put it on her. The latter smiled from ear to ear, loving what is she wearing. "Cool. Yoonie is cool." Yoona thumbs up again.

 

Showing her own little thumb, Yoonie did the same. 

 

"So are we ready to see Omma and the twins?"

 

"Yoonie Kaki!" The little girl put her hands up in the air, indicating she's ready to go.

 

"No way! Daddy is strict this time." Smiling widely, Yoona picked her daughter up and carried her. Picking up the backpack that contains her daughter's extra clothes, diapers, milk, stuff toys, wipes and some baby lotion, she  hang it on her right shoulder, before she fixed the bed a little consequently leaving it to the maid.

 

As they passes through the living room, they noticed the maids are all cleaning again, since its the twins' birthday this time. But as they got out, they were greeted by strangers, who were setting up a mini stage, tables and seats in front of the mansion. Yoonie keeps on pointing to the bubbles that she saw from afar, but Yoona doesn't mind and went straight to the parking lot.

 

"A princess should always behave and act like a princess. You should know that Yoonie." Yoona said, as she buckle up her daughter at the passenger seat, instead of the back seat. It's just her and her daughter, she doesn't like to drive without her in her side, though.

 

Yoonie pout her lips, crosses her legs and arms, like she is sulking. Yoona scoffed, at the sight of her daughter. The sunglasses just made it sense right there.

 

"Don't worry, later, we'll play a lot in the party. Daniel Oppa and Paul Oppa will not know. Do you hear that?"

 

Yoonie smiled, and shake her head. But later, she nodded her head. "Aja!" shouting afterwards.

 

"Tsk, as if she understands every word of it. For sure, only the words 'play' and her brother's names." Yoona pats her head lightly before running to the driver's seat.

 

"You want some music, baby?"

 

Yoonie chinned up and shake her head. But Yoona still opens the music. However, unlike her normal music, it's a kiddie song. Just like any other day, Yoonie started singing the song, confident in her own  gibberish lyrics.

 

With that cue, Yoona started the engine and drives off.

 

 

 

"Time has no dominion over love. Love is the one thing that transcends time."

 

 

 

[Jung Law University Firm]

 

 

From Jessica:

[I'm on the way. ^^]

 

Tapping over the steering wheel, Yul is impatiently waiting or that blonde girl for a while now. The message was sent 10 minutes ago, and it seems like it will take another minutes waiting for her. Yul hasn't been this impatient after Seohyun. Well, must be because the party of the twins is happening in 2 hours. He needed to buy a gift and a costume first before going to the mansion. 

 

"Alright, I will wait. If she will not appear in the next fifteen minutes, I'll leave." deciding, he opened his phone and opens a music application so he could start listening to a music. Music, like they always says, it kills time. But much to his dismay, he could not like it.

 

Putting the device aside, Yul stepped out of the car - immediately looking around the parking lot, hoping to see that blonde around. Too bad, no. He can mostly see male students of the firm, walking pass at him.

 

Walking back and forth, he keeps on rubbing his head, trying to make himself patient as much as possible. He keeps on doing it until 20 minutes had passed -- Yul gives up. He went back to his car, and was ready to leave when he stopped himself momentarily. As apparently, he can now see Jessica, rushing to his car. He irritably ruffle his hair, but quickly fixed it as soon as Jessica step inside.

 

"I waited almost an hour." He greeted her with a cold voice.

 

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I got... wait -- isn't it 2 hours still before your children's birthday party? Why are you so early?" ask Jessica back, didn't notice the mood Yul set on his self.

 

"I think you know I didn't get to remember its my kids' birthdays today. I have to buy gifts and costumes first. And it's 2 hours only to buy those stuffs." Yul said, with much more emphasis of his kids.

 

Jessica fell into a couple of seconds of silence, as she finally realize Yul's mood. She sighed, take his hand on hers and looked into his weary eyes. "I'm sorry again. My professor saw me in the hallway earlier, I lose track of the time, Yul."

 

Yul let go of Jessica's hand.  He turned at the back seat and reach for the bouquet of flowers, giving it to the blonde. Jessica smiled sweetly, receiving it with gratitude. But Yul's face is still not okay. She took this a sign to make up with her mistake - she leaned in and kissed his lips without warning. 

 

"What... " Yul's eyes widened, didn't expect to feel the blonde's lips against hers. His heart just literally jump the moment Jessica's lips brushes his.

 

"We've been going out for a while now, I couldn't shut up how much I feel about you anymore." Jessica confidently stated, though she was blushing and biting her lips. "It's just instinct. I like you, Yul."

 

"What?" Yul feels like he just heard a joke. "Are you kidding me?" yet, Jessica seemed serious. Staring into her eyes with those sincere soul.

 

Braving again, Jessica move forward, brushing her lips against Yul's. This time, she made a little bite to Yul's lower lips before she leaned back, watching how will the tan guy react to that. She held on the flowers tightly, as she watches him still in daze under her gazes. But moments later, she smiled against his lips. Yul initiated the kiss this time. But not like her peck, He was kissing her passionately and lovingly. And that never made her fail. She kisses him back with the same passion and intensity. Their lips moves in sync; sweet, gentle and just intoxicating.

 

Jessica feels like her dream had come true. Ever since she met Yul and hang out with him, she knows she was falling for his charm - it took a while but she really knows she loved him. And this right here, as they kiss and kiss, everything was really in the right place. She finally found the one for her.

 

She moaned when Yul added tongue, that she immediately accepted.

 

"You don't know how much you made me so happy right now." Yul whispers huskily, against their lips. Stopping momentarily, he smiled from ear to ear, as he rubs his nose against Jessica's nose. The blonde was also smiling the same way like him. "I love you, sica."

 

"I love you too, Yul." whispered Jessica back, as she traces her fingers to Yul's lips. He captured her lips again, but only for a quick second. Yul leaned back on his seat and drives them off. "I wonder how will your twins react about us?" and while he is driving there, she took his right, holding it in place.

 

"They've been asking about us - I think they will be really happy. Especially my kidwolf, Daniel." Yul answered with a snicker, reminding himself that his son
