Chapter 15

 

‘ I loved him ’

 

‘ What made you fall in love with him? ’

 

‘ He is caring ’

 

‘ I’m more caring toward you and Mason ’

 

‘ He is handsome ’

 

‘ I’m y ’

 

‘ He is a gentleman ’

 

‘ I’m a gentlewoman ’

 

‘ Yul, are you really going to compare to oppa? ’

 

‘ Yes, I need to know what made you loved him but I can see everything he have I have it too and more ’ Yul said proudly

 

‘ What you have and not oppa? ’

 

‘ Your heart ’ Yul pulls Yoong closer

 

Yoong kisses Yul’s lips

 

‘ You are right. My heart belongs to you only ’

 

‘ Yoong, you will talk to him tomorrow right? ’

 

‘ Yes, I will ’

 

The next day

 

Yul opens her eyes and saw her favorite doe-eyes girl sleeping peacefully in her arms. Yul smiles looking at the girl in front of her. She slowly gets off the bed and went into Mason’s room.

 

Mason is still sleeping peacefully like her umma. Yul kisses Mason’s cheek and Mason slowly opens his eyes.

 

‘ Morning Mason ’

 

‘ Morning mommy ’ Mason smiles

 

‘ Did my Mason sleep well last night? ’

 

‘ Yes, because I’m sleeping at home ’

 

‘ Do you like staying with mommy and umma here? ’

 

‘ Yes ’

 

‘ You don’t like staying at your appa’s place? ’

 

‘ No, I want to live with mommy and umma ’

 

Mason’s answer made Yul’s day. Yul hugs Mason

 

‘ No one can take you and your umma away from me ’

 

‘ Mommy, can I really stay with you and umma? Umma said........ ’

 

‘ Yes Mason, here’s your house. You, your umma and me will live together ’

 

‘ Really? ’

 

‘ Yes ’

 

‘ Mommy, where umma? ’ he looks next to his bed side

 

‘ She is sleeping now. Go wake her up and we’ll go eat breakfast ’

 

‘ Where’s umma is sleeping? Is she sleeping on the couch, she’ll be tired ’ Mason said worriedly

 

‘ She’s sleeping in mommy’s bedroom ’

 

‘ Will umma sleep in mommy’s room now? ’

 

‘ Yes. Do you want your umma to sleep in mommy’s bedroom ’

 

‘ Yes, that’s mean I can have the bedroom all by myself ’

 

Yul chuckles. Mason runs into the master bedroom and jump into the bed.

 

‘ Umma, wake up. Mommy will take us out for breakfast ’

 

Yul lays next to Mason. Now Mason is between them. Yoong slowly opens her eyes and smiles at Mason

 

‘ Morning baby ’

 

Yoong kisses Mason’s cheek then she looks at Yul who is pouting right now

 

‘ Morning Yul ’ Yoong smiles

 

Yul is still pouting

 

Yoong chuckles then gets of the bed. She went into the bathroom. Yoong comes out 15 minutes later and saw the pouting but Mason is nowhere to be found in the room. Yoong walks toward the bed

 

‘ Why are you pouting? ’

 

‘ Hmph........ ’

 

Yoong climbs on top of Yul. Yul quickly wraps her arms around Yoong’s waist

 

Yoong pecks Yul’s pouting lips.

 

‘ One more time ’ Yul said

 

Another peck before Yoong pulls off, Yul holds Yoong’s head to deepen the kiss. Of course, Yoong gladly kisses back. After a few minutes, they both pull off for oxygen

 

‘ That’s better ’ Yul smiles

 

Yoong slaps Yul’s arms playfully and gets off Yul.

 

‘ I thought we’ll stay like this the whole day ’ Yul pouts

 

‘ I won’t fall for it again. Can you hurry, I’m hungry ’ Yoong whines

 

Yul chuckles at the cute doe-eyes in front of her.

 

‘ Ok, just let me take a quick shower then we’ll go ’ Yul gets off the bed

 

Yoong went out the bedroom and saw Mason playing in his room.

 

‘ Mason, your mommy is taking a shower after she’s done we’ll go ’

 

‘ Umma, can I call mommy mommy again ’

 

‘ Do you want to? ’

 

‘ Yes ’

 

‘ Then call her mommy ’

 

‘ Umma, mommy told me that we are living together again. Is it true? ’

 

‘ Mason, you are everything to me. I don’t want to do something you don’t like. Now tell umma, you want to live with your appa or your mommy? ’

 

‘ Mommy ’ Mason said without thinking

 

‘ Really ’ Yoong smiles

 

‘ Yes, I want mommy ’

 

‘ You don’t like your appa? ’

 

‘ I don’t know him ’ Mason said

 

‘ Mason, even if umma is with your mommy you can still see your appa ’

 

‘ I just want umma and mommy ’

 

Yoong hugs Mason

 

‘ Umma ’

 

Yoong looks at Mason

 

‘ Mommy said that I can have the whole room ’

 

‘ Huh? ’

 

‘ Mommy said that umma will sleep in her room so I can have my whole bedroom ’

‘ I’m ready ’ Yul walks in

 

‘ You come out with me ’ Yoong stands up and drags her out of Mason’s room.

 

Inside Yul’s bedroom

 

‘ What did you tell Mason? ’

 

‘ Me? ’ Yul points herself then thing

 

‘ ........... Nothing ’

 

‘ Why you told Mason that I’ll sleep with you and he can have his own room? ’

 

‘ Is true ’

 

‘ I never said I’ll stay in the same room with you ’

 

‘ You did last night ’

 

‘ You dragged me in I didn’t walk in by myself ’

 

‘ That never change the fact that you slept with me last night ’

 

Yoong don’t have any argument to protest

 

Yul smiles ‘ Our son is still underage that’s why I didn’t tell him that will made a little brother or little sister for him ’

 

‘ I never said that I’ll carry your baby ’

 

‘ Not now, in the future ’

 

Yoong face redden

 

‘ Come on Yoong, our Mason is almost five I think is time for him to have his own bedroom. I don’t see the problem with us in the same room, look I won’t do anything that you are not comfortable with. If you are scare that I’ll do something inappropriate then I’ll sleep on the couch  ’

 

‘ I didn’t mean this, is just….. ’

 

‘ That’s mean is a yes ’

 

‘ Wait…what? ’

 

‘ You didn’t say no, you said you didn’t mean this. So that’s mean you accept to stay in the same bedroom with me ’ Yul smiles

 

‘ You are such a cheater ’ Yoong shakes her head

 

‘ For you and Mason I can be more worst that this. So, Mason will have his room and you in mine end of the discussion ’

 

‘ Why should I listen to you? You are not my husband ’

 

‘ I will be your hubby ’

 

‘ I will be the hubby ’

 

Yul shakes her head ‘ You are Mason’s umma, that’s mean you are the wifey ’

 

‘ That’s not fair ’

 

‘ Of course it is. Have you ever heard a hubby giving birth of a child? ’

 

Yoong shakes her head innocently

 

‘ You gave birth to Mason ’

 

Yoong nods

 

‘ Then no arguing, I’m the man here ’

 

Yoong pouts

 

‘ Come on Yoong, our son is hungry ’

 

‘ Can you stop saying Mason is your son ’

 

‘ Wae, Mason is my son and you are my woman ’

 

Yoong blushes again

 

‘ Umma, mommy can we go now? ’ Mason asks from the living room

 

‘ We coming ’ Yul answers

 

‘ Let’s go OUR son is hungry ’ Yul smiles

 

Yoong pushes Yul away then walks out the bedroom.

 

The couple walked out the building with Mason in the middle of them. They hold Mason’s hand and Yul kneel down. She zips Mason’s jacket and when she stands up, Yul wraps the scarf around Yoong’s neck

 

‘ Thank you ’ Yoong smiles

 

‘ Anything for you ’ Yul smiles and kisses Yoong’s lips

 

When the couple pull off the kiss, they saw Seungi standing in front of his car looking at them.

 

‘ Oppa........... ’

 

‘ Morning Yoona, morning Mason ’ He smiles at them then look at Yul ‘ Morning Yuri ’

 

‘ Morning ’ Yul said

 

‘ Oppa, what are you doing here? ’

 

‘ I’m here to pick you and Mason home ’

 

‘ They are not going anywhere ’ Yul said

 

Yoong holds Yul’s arms ‘ Yul..... ’

 

Yoong looks at Seunggi ‘ Oppa, can we talk ’

 

He nods

 

Yoong looks at Yul ‘ Wait me at the restaurant with Mason, I’ll be there in no long ’

‘ But..... ’ Yul wants to protest

 

‘ Yul, I want to have a talk with oppa alone. Wait for me at the restaurant with Mason ’

 

Yul just nods

 

YoonSeunggi’s POV

 

They sit silently in the coffee shop and Yoong finally broke the silence

 

‘ Oppa, you already saw everything in front of the building ’

 

‘ I didn’t see anything ’

 

‘ Oppa, let’s stay friend ’

 

‘ Friend? Yoona I don’t wanna be your friend. I wanna be your husband ’

 

‘ I don’t have feeling for you anymore ’

 

‘ You were just confuse with your feeling. I understand that Yuri took care of you and Mason when I was not there for you. But this is not love is just........ ’

 

‘ Is love ’ Yoong cuts him

 

‘ What? ’

 

‘ I love her before we met ’

 

‘ .................She is that girl ’

 

‘ Yes, I’m sorry that I gave you false hope. I thought I can forget my feeling for her and love you again but I really can’t. Oppa, you are a great guy I’m sure you will find someone in the future ’

 

‘ That someone is you ’

 

‘ Oppa.... ’

 

‘ Are you happy with her? ’

 

‘ Yes, I love her ’

 

He closes his eyes, after a moment he looks at Yoong

 

‘ Can I continue to see Mason and take him out ’

 

‘ Of course, you are his father ’

 

‘ I love you Yoona that’s why I let you go but if she don’t treat you well you can come back to me ’

 

‘ Thank you oppa ’

 

Jessica’s POV

 

I wake up and heard Sarang crying. I quickly get off the bed

 

‘ Auntie, why Sarang is crying? ’

 

‘ Umma, I want my album and toys ’

 

I know Sarang wants the album with Soo’s picture because she looks at it everyday.

 

‘ Auntie, just give the album to her ’

 

‘ I….I….hmm……I throw it this morning ’

 

‘ You what? ’

 

‘ Miss Choi called me last night asking me to throw the album so I did it ’

‘ Soo asked you to throw the album ’

 

She nods ‘ She said that she don’t want to have anything related to her in your house, she told me to throw out everything she bought to Sarang even the box you brought last night. She even…… ’

 

‘ She even what? ’

 

‘ She told me to stop calling her even if Sarang is searching for her. If Sarang is asking for appa then I’ll just call Mr. Choi ’

 

‘ She said that? ’

 

She nods without looking at me. I walk into Sarang playroom and everything Soo bought is gone.

 

‘ Where’s the album now? ’

 

‘ In the garbage room ’

 

I run out the apartment, I search in the garbage room but the album is nowhere to be found. I went back to the apartment

 

‘ Umma, where’s my toys and album? ’ Sarang asks

 

I kneel down ‘ Sarang-ah, umma can’t find it. I’ll buy you new toys today ’

 

‘ No, I want appa’s toy ’ Sarang starts whining

 

Siwon comes in the apartment

 

‘ What happen? ’

 

‘ Nothing ’ I said

 

‘ I want appa ’ Sarang cries harder

 

‘ Sarang, appa is here ’ Siwon takes Sarang in his arms and pats her back.

 

Sarang pushes Siwon ‘ APPA~~~~~~~~~~~~~UMMA, I WANT APPA~~~~~ ’

 

‘ Sarang please, your appa is here ’ I said trying to calm her

 

‘ NO~~~~~~~~I WANT APPA ’

 

Sarang struggles to get off Siwon and runs to auntie.

 

‘ I want appa~~~~~~Please take me to appa ’ Sarang tugged auntie’s shirt

 

‘ Oppa, I’m taking Sarang out for a while ’

 

Before he can answer, I take Sarang in my arms and walk out the apartment. I put her in the car seat and drive away. We arrive at the supermarket while Sarang is still sobbing.

 

I kiss her forehead ‘ Sarang, what do you wanna eat? Umma will buy everything you want ’

 

‘ I want appa ’ she said while sobbing

 

I smile ‘ Your appa is busy that’s why she can’t come to see you or call you ’

 

‘ Will appa come to take Sarang out when she’ll have time? ’

 

‘ Of course, your appa love you more than anything. She’ll come to take you out when she can so promise umma that you’ll stop crying if you don’t see your appa ’

 

‘ If I’m a good girl, will appa come faster to play with me ’

 

‘ Yes, just when you are a good girl ’

 

‘ I will be a good girl so appa will come faster ’ Sarang wipes her tears

 

I hug her

 

I’m sorry Sarang, I’m so sorry to take your appa away from you………..

 

SooNic’s POV

 

Soo arrives 15 minutes late and Nicole is already outside waiting for her. Soo quickly gets out of her car

 

‘ I’m sorry I’m late. I have something to do before ’

 

Nicole shakes her head ‘ Is ok ’

 

Soo opens the door for Nicole, after Soo climbs into the driver’s seat

 

‘ What are those boxes? ’ Nicole asks

 

‘ Is Sarang’s stuff…….I……hmmm…….I want to keep it as souvenir ’

Nicole then saw an album

 

‘ Can I look at the album? ’

 

‘ Sure ’

 

Nicole takes the album from the back seat.

 

‘ Sarang is very cute ’

 

‘ Yes, she is ’ Soo smiles

 

‘ You took all those pictures? ’

 

‘ Yes ’

 

‘ Sarang’s mother is so beautiful ’

 

Soo looks at Nicole and saw the picture they took at the restaurant at Sarang’s 3rd birthday

 

‘ Yes, she is ’

 

Nicole puts the album back

 

‘ Do you still love her? ’

 

‘ Who? ’

 

‘ Sarang’s mother ’

 

‘ Well I’ll lie to you if I say I don’t ’

 

‘ …………. ’

 

‘ I have a few girlfriends in the past but she is the only one I love but our feeling is not mutual. I feel my world upside down when she asked me to stop seeing them ’

 

‘ Why you don’t tell her what you really feel? ’

 

Soo shakes her head ‘ Is this is what she wants then I’ll do it. Maybe this is the best for both of us. She haves oppa and I’ll find someone ’

 

Nicole just nods thinking that she won’t have a chance with Soo

 

‘ I’m very glad that my appa arranged the blind date for me ’

 

‘ Huh? ’

 

‘ Thanks to the blind date I met you. I really like you and I want to take things slow. I don’t want you to think that I use you to forget my feeling for Jessica. If you want, we can start being friend to know each other more. In the future, if we think we both suit each other maybe we can take the next step. What do you thing? ’

 

‘ I agree, but you got a wrong point ’

 

‘ What? ’

 

‘ We are actually friend ’ Nicole smiles

 

‘ Then maybe we can jump the bestfriend step ’ Soo smiles

 

‘ I don’t mind ’ Nicole answers

 

‘ Then let’s go eat my bestfriend ’

 

‘ Sure bestfriend ’
