Chapter14



Selina was already waiting for her in the Café’ when Hwangbo arrived. She stood up as soon as she saw her and waived her hand.


“ Tskk.. and she can greet me like that as if I am her friend.” She whispered to herself.


When she reached her table she bowed politely and they both took their seat. Selina asked her to order but she declined since she had breakfast in the set.


“ Hwangbossi, are you excited for your wedding?” the girl asked with a gleam in her eyes.


“Yes I’am. “She replied.


“I would just like to check if you already went to the designer for measurements. Its less than two months from your wedding.” Selina reminded her.


“I’m scheduled to have fitting this Saturday with Hyunjoong. Didn’t he tell you?” she replied curtly.


“No he didn’t. Maybe he forgot about it due to his excitement yesterday. So, did he already told you?" Selina asked again with excitement.


“Tell me what? He didn’t tell me anything. “ Hwangbo answered.


“I just can’t believe it. He was so ecstatic when he saw this. He was really asking me to find it for him.” The wedding planner was confused.


Hwangbo took a deep breath then said “Let’s just say we were not okay last night. Mind telling me about it?”


“Okay..." She agreed but also somewhat hesitant. “But be sure not to tell him that I told you, ok. I guess he’s planning to surprise you.”


“I promised.” Hwangbo replied.


“Ok... Here.” And then she hands over a picture of a cake. It was a 5 layer cake with purple ribbon and diamond studs adorning the sides. (http://aweddingcakeblog.com/features/monogrammed-wedding-cakes/)


“Is this gonna be our wedding cake?" Hwangbo asked in surprise.


“Yes. Isn’t this pretty? And you have to really look at the cake closely to see your couple monogram. Hyunjoong designed it personally.” Selina told her in pure delight. “Now, the real surprise here is the cake topper. We have it custom made as per Hyunjoong’s request.”


“Come on, show it to me...” Hyejung urged the excited wedding planner.


When Selina handed her the design, Hwangbo laughed so much that tears were already welling in her eyes.


“Do you like it Hwangbossi?” The wedding planner was not sure of Hwangbo’s reaction.


“Of course I do. Aigoo... my shillang is really something..." She replied while trying to compose herself.


“But Hyejungssi, I was asking Hyunjoong about it but he didn’t give me a clear answer. Why does he want this on your wedding cake?”


“When we were still in We Got Married, Hyunjoong told me that he want to become a lion in his next life. So for me to be able to be with him in that life, then I have to become a lioness.” Hyejung narrated to Selina while staring at the design in her hands. (http://www.etsy.com/listing/85256792/cute-lions-custom-wedding-cake-topper)


“But Hyejung, if I may just ask and I hope you wouldn’t mind, why you were so cold towards him last night? I saw how disappointed he was when you head to your room without even talking to us.” Selina shyly asked.


“I was jealous of you.” Hwangbo honestly replied.


“What?!!!” Selina exclaimed with disbelief. “Why?!!!”


“I don’t know. I know I’m silly but I felt that you were flirting with him. I’m so sorry for being blunt.” She explained.


“I’m so sorry for making you feel that way, Hwangbossi. I never intend to make you feel uncomfortable. Let me assure you, I’m not interested with Hyunjoong. I mean, he’s really beautiful and all but I’m already married. And my husband is a wonderful man and I love him to pieces. I was just starstruck with Hyunjoong and hoping that my baby would look like him.” Selina confessed.


“Omo! Congratulations Selina and I’m sorry if I misunderstood. It’s just that sometimes; I can’t help but to feel insecure and jealous. “Hwangbo blushed with her admission.


“ You know, Hwangbossi, by the way Hyunjoong looked at you, the way he described and talked about you, we all can see how much he love and adore you. His eyes lights up every time someone mentions your name. He love you so much Hyejung. Heck, if that’s not love, I don’t know what to call it.” Selina rattle on.


“I think I need to say sorry and make it up to him this time.” She blurted in reply to Selina.


“You should Hwangbossi. Don’t ever doubt his love for you. You are one lucky girl.” The wedding planner urged her.


“Thank you for your time Selina and again I’m sorry. I will call you as soon as we finished the fitting for my gown.”


“No worries, Hwangbossi. We can now work closely to make your wedding "the wedding of the year".” Selina replied. “Now, go and find that man of yours.”


“Thank you again Selina. I’ll talk to you soon.” And Hwangbo hurriedly leave the café.


Around two in the afternoon, Mr. Jeong approached Hyunjoong as he was resting from the acting workshop. He handed him a small envelope with an impish smile. Hyunjoong was so troubled the whole day. He just slept during his break and no one dare to joke with him on the set. He opened the envelope and a smile crept on his pretty face. When Mr Jeong saw it, he breathes a sigh of relief. He then approached the trainer and asked if Hyunjoong can finish early with his schedule. He knew that Hyunjoong wants to go home now but just too shy to ask. The trainer told them that they can end an hour earlier.


As soon as the workshop ended, Hyunjoong rushed out of the building. He just reminded Mr. Jeong to send him advice on his schedule for the next day and the drove home hurriedly. When he arrived, he was disappointed to see that the house is still dark and quiet. He sat quietly at the living room, not bothering to turn on the light when he heard rustling in their room. His heart was beating fast as he tiptoed towards the room. When he opened it, he was surprised. Only the side lamps illuminated the whole room, and a soft music was playing on the background.Hyunjoong went inside to look for Hyejung but a pair of hand covered his eyes.


“Close your eyes Shillang.” Hwangbo ordered. When he nodded she let go but replaced her hands by a silk cloth and blindfolded him. Once done, she asked him to just follow her lead and together they walked out of the room. Hwangbo ushered him to take a seat and asked him to take the blindfold at the count of three. Hyunjoong’s heart was beating fast as he waited for her to start counting.


“Shillang, start counting now...” Hwangbo ordered and Hyunjoong did as asked.


“1, 2, 3” then paused and untied his blindfold. When he opened his eyes, he can’t help but gave a big smile.


“Im sorry Shillang.” Hwangbo uttered as she stood in front of Hyunjoong with a big bouquet of roses in her hand and hand it over to him.


Hyunjoong took the roses but just place it on top of the table. He stood up and was just staring at Hyejung, his facial expression unreadable. Hwangbo took a step back, unsure if he’s mad at her.


“Thank you for coming back.” He whispered, looking straight in her eyes before he enveloped her in a hug.


Hwangbo just hugged him back, emotions over flowing as she replied.


“I’m sorry for doubting you and I’m sorry for being a handful. I’m sorry for being jealous with Selina when she’s just doing her part in helping us out.”
 Hyunjoong released her a bit so he can look at her and then asked.


“Buin, tell me, why were you jealous of Selina? “


Hwangbo rest her head on his chect so he won’t see her blushing face.


“Because she was staring at you. I mean, I thought she was into you. When I found out this morning that she’s already married and actually pregnant, I was so ashamed of myself.” Then she paused, took a deep breath and continued...


“And Shillang, I was really unsure of what you feel for me...”


“Aisshhh, my silly Buin. Was my action not enough? You don’t believe what I told you in the press conference? “He asked but with a smile on his face.


“In my heart, Shillang, I do believe you. But sometimes, I can’t help but feel that you were just lured by the scandal and my situation.” She replied whole heartedly.


“Buin, listen to me.” And then he led her to the chair. He grabbed another one so he can sit just in front of her. Hyunjoong took her hands, holding on to it tightly.


“Hyejung, I love you. If I haven’t told you then I’ll say it now. I have loved you two years ago, I love you now and I will love you till forever. Marrying you is my decision. It’s not because of that scandal or your so called curse. I will marry you because I want to spend my whole life with you. For real, I want to become your husband and I want you to be my wife. I want to take care of you and our would be children. I want to sleep and wake up next to you for the rest of my life.


Hyejung was speechless and her heart was bursting with so much love for the man in front of her. A tear rolled down her face and Hyunjoong gently wiped it off.


“Thank you, Shillang. Thank you for loving me.” Hwangbo uttered as she stared at Hyunjoong’s lovely face. He just smiled at her and then hugged her one more time.


“Have I told you I love you, Hyunjoong?” She asked still wrapped in his arms. Hyunjoong shook his head to answer her no. She smiled and asked again.


“I haven’t? Really Shillang?


Hyunjoong this time nodded his head and pouted to emphasize his point.


“Aww... You know I do right? Or better yet let me show you.” Hwangbo said with a smile as she dragged her elated Shillang towards their room.

Chapter 13



It’s been a month since Hyunjoong and Hwangbo’s engagement. Preparation for their wedding is now in full swing with her Mom handling everything. Just two days after the press conference, Hyunjoong introduced Hwangbo to his family and he was surprised that his parents were so glad that she is going to be their daughter in law. When they arrived at his parents’ house, his brothers were already there and a feast was prepared for them. Hyejung was very nervous since that would be the first time that she’ll be meeting his family. When his Mom saw them came in, she immediately rushed to them and greeted Hwangbo


“I’m really happy to finally meet you. “And she smiled and said as she hugged her. “Thank you for agreeing to marry my son.”


Hwangbo didn’t know how to react so she just hugged her back. Hyunjoong’s brother and father were just watching them. Hwangbo bowed to each of them and when Hyunjoong’s brother tried shaking her hand, Hyunjoong swatted his hands. Hwangbo can’t help but laugh out loud which made the atmosphere very congenial.


Presently, Hyunjoong sprawled in the living room, reading his manga books when Hwangbo came out of their room. She was in a rush because her manager’s already on his way to fetch her. With duffel bag on her right hand, hair brush on the left, she bid goodbye to Hyunjoong.


“Shillang, I need to leave now. Sorry, wasn’t able to prepare food for you. “


“Yah! Be careful Buin, you might trip on something. Is your manager downstairs already? Hyunjoong asked.


“Not yet. He’s still on his way. You don’t have schedule?” she enquired.


“I’m free for the day. I lost a lot of offers you know. Buin might be the one to support the family one day.” Hyunjoong joked.


With that, Hwangbo stopped and sat beside him. “Do you have any regrets, Shillang?”


Hyunjoong smiled at her worried look. “I don’t Buin. I’m happy with how we are now. I will take care of our kids and you go work hard.”


“What kids? You’re thinking way too ahead, Shillang.” She replied and the couple laughed together. Hwangbo’s phone rang and it was her manager’s text advising her that he’s already downstairs.


Hwangbo grabbed her bag and checked herself in hallway mirror when Hyunjoong called out her name. She asked him what’s the matter but he didn’t answer and just simply approached her. He stood behind her and electricity run throughout her body when she felt Hyunjoong’s hands on her back.


“Your dress is not properly zipped Buin.” his breath tickling her ears as he explained.


Hwangbo shivered as she watched their reflection on the mirror. Hyunjoong’s hands gently snaked on her waist and he pulled her towards his body. Unconsciously, she lifted her right hand and caressed his face. When her hand accidentally grazed his lips, Hyunjoong gave it a kiss. The tension accelerated and just when Hyunjoong tried to maneuver and have Hwangbo faced him; the shrill ringing of her phone startled both of them. Hwangbo started walking away but Hyunjoong didn’t let go of her hand.


“Shillang I have to leave.” she uttered with regret.


“I’ll send you to the door.” He replied with a sigh.


When they reached the door, Hyunjoong let go of her hand reluctantly. He watched her walk towards the lift and raised his hand to waive her goodbye. He was about to close the door when it was yanked open, Hwangbo grabbed him by the front of his shirt and engaged him in a fiery lip lock. She only released his lips when she heard her phone rang.


“I’ll see you tonight, Shillang.” She said while catching her breath then run towards the lift leaving the bewildered but happy Hyunjoong.


Hwangbo tried going home early that night because she wanted to spend more time with Hyunjoong. Good thing the shoot finished early and no problem was encountered. It’s only eight in the evening and she dropped by at the grocery before going home. She wanted to surprise Hyunjoong so she didn’t inform him that she’s already on her way.


She was humming while encoding the password of door security lock. Bag in tow, she went inside the house with a big smile on her face when she heard hush voices from the living room. Hwangbo went on her way to check and was surprised to see Hyunjoong engrossed in talking with no other than - Selina. All the blood went up on her head. She can’t help but seethe with jealousy.


“So, we have a visitor Shillang?” She asked sarcastically.


“You’re early, Buin. Selina came in unexpectedly to share good news.” He replied full of enthusiasm. “Come sit down so we can discuss this.”


“I’m too tired, Shillang. Maybe it’s better if you two just continue with whatever you’re doing. I’ll just sleep.” Hwangbo replied with gritted teeth.


“But Buin, it’s for our wedding. We should both be involved.” He rebuts.


“I’m really tired Hyunjoong. Let’s discuss this some other time.” She replied and left the two.


Hyunjoong was saddened by Hwangbo’s reaction. He really wanted to share this update with her. He turned to Selina and apologized.


“Guess she’s just too tired Selina. Would it be okay if we’ll call you back to discuss updates? “


“It’s okay Hyunjoong. Just let me know. Maybe you need to pamper her a bit. She looks tired and stressed out. Go talk to your soon to be wife. I’ll take my leave now.” The wedding planner replied with a smile.


As soon as the wedding planner left, Hyunjoong went to get a glass of milk in the kitchen and head to their room. Hwangbo laid on the bed face down. He gently approached her and run his hands on her back.


“Do you want me to give you a massage?” he asked


“ No.” Hwangbo simply replied.


“Do you want food? I can cook for you.” Hyunjoong asked again.


“I’m not hungry.” She responded.


“Buin, tell me what’s wrong? I can sense that you’re not in a good mood.” Hyunjoong prodded once again.


Hwangbo sat up immediately which startled the man. She took a deep breath and said.


“You don’t know what is wrong Hyunjoong?” And he just nodded his head so she just continued.


“It’s me finding my soon to be husband with a girl in our house.”


“Buin, she’s our wedding planner. We need to talk so we can have a beautiful wedding.” He replied.


“Without me knowing? And it’s just the two of you here.” She added.


“I know you’re busy so I didn’t inform you. I’m so sorry Buin. Don’t tell me you’re jealous?” Hyunjoong asked with a smile.


“Do I have a reason to be jealous, Hyunjoong?" Her tone so cold.


“Are you accusing me of cheating on you, Hyejung? All I did was to participate in our wedding preparation. Now, if that’s what you call cheating then I’d rather be hands off with this.” He replied with a big sigh.


“I just want you to be honest with me. If you like her then we should stop this pretense. I’ll set you free.” Hyejung clarified with him.


“You know Hyejung, I want to know what I did for you not to trust me. Cheating or just even flirting with other girls never crossed my mind. If you want this to work, at least give me your trust. Don’t throw me accusations and irrational jealousy” Hyunjoong replied with a broken heart.


“Maybe we should give each other space right now."  Hwangbo implied.


“If that’s what you want. Whatever suit you.” He said in defeat then walked out on her and head to the balcony.


Hwangbo was also disheartened with what happened so she just left and went to her own apartment.


She drove back to her place bringing nothing. When she came in she headed straight to her room and dropped her tired body on the bed. For the first time, sleep has been elusive for her even if she’s in her own room. Hwangbo wanted to deny but she cannot fool herself- it’s really hard for her to sleep without him by her side. She grabbed the pillow next to her imagining it was Hyunjoong.


When she woke up the next day, she turned to her side,


“Good morning Shill...” she stopped when she saw that she’s alone. She sat on her bed. She wondered how she can feel alone when this place has been her haven for many years. With a heavy heart she started her day. Hwangbo prepared breakfast but she just picked on her food. She’s worrying if Hyunjoong’s already awake and had his breakfast. Giving up on eating, she took a shower and dressed up. She’s on her way to another taping for Muhan Girls when her phone rang.


“Good morning Hwangbo ssi. I just called to ask if we can maybe meet up. I just need to tell you something.” The caller started.


“Good morning. I was actually going to call you. Yes, we need to talk. Can you meet me at Café ‘France near MBC?” She formally replied.


“Okay then. See you in an hour." The caller replied.


Hwangbo hang up the phone and uttered. “It’s time we clarify things Selina.”

The Curse

Here's another chapter for all of you. By the way, what is the name of Hwangbo's manager? I've been thingking about it and Iam not sure if its really Dong Won. If its not  just let me know. I'll edit the previous chapter. I also noticed that I mistakenly named HB's ex as Woojun on the previous chapter where as is should be Junri. Nyahaha.. Anyways, thank you for reading and hope you will stick till the end.. Writing this chapter with "Spend my life with you" of Tamia and Eric Benet as background music..

Chapter 12



Hwangbo wake up the next morning with a grumbling stomach. She hesitantly gets off the bed when she noticed a single rose on her bedside table. A simple note attached to it


“I’ll just see you in the hotel. I need to run an errand.”


She just smiled and head on to take a quick shower. It took her a while to choose what to wear. After all, this is a big day for her and Hyunjoong. She chose a simple champagne colored dress and her favorite boots of the same color. She completed her wardrobe with a simple pair of earrings, put on light make up and then head out of the room. She went to the kitchen to get a drink before she leave when she noticed the food on the table.


“Eat this first. The event might take a while. See you later.”


“Aissh... This kid.” She muttered but then took a seat and ate the food prepared for her.


When Hwangbo arrived at the hotel, she went directly to the waiting room as instructed by her manager but no one was there. She just read magazine to pass time and after about ten minutes Hyunjoong came in.


“Good morning, Buin. Where’s everybody?” Hyunjoong greeted her.


“Good morning. Oppa asked me to wait here.” She replied. “By the way, Hyunjoong...” she paused then continued in a meek voice. “Thank you for the flower and the breakfast.”


“No problem Buin.” He replied and sat beside her. “Are you ok now?” he asked her.


“Sorry for what happened last night. I guess I was just really stressed so I snap easily.” Hwangbo apologized but cannot bear to tell him that she’s just jealous with Selina.


“Tell me what’s bothering you, maybe I can help. Now that were getting married, we have to share everything.” He gently prodded her.


“It’s just so petty Shillang. Don’t bother. I ‘am okay. Let’s just get this done, ok?” Hwangbo replied and pat his arms. “By the way, why do you have to leave early Shillang?”


Hyunjoong was about to answer when Hwangbo’s manager came in and announced that the press conference is about to start. Hyunjoong smiled at Hyejung and mouthed “later”. She just smiled back at him and they walked towards the hall.


When they arrived, they were both stunned to see the hall full packed. Reporters and fans were cramped inside and Hwangbo can’t help but be nervous. She took a deep breath and look at the man beside her. Hyunjoong was also screening the crowd but a smile was pasted on his face. He felt her eyes on him so he turned to face her. He gave her a smile then reached for her hands as they face the crowd. Hwangbo’s manager ushered them towards their seat and when the people saw them, ruckus started. Their management placates the crowd and when everything settled, Hyunjoong began his written statement.


“Thank you all for coming today. I know it’s only been a week since we gathered here. Although we know that all were shocked with the sudden announcement, but that was the most liberating and one of the best moment in my life. I would just like the whole world to know, officially, that I and Hyejung are in a relationship. We were together two years ago but due to some unfortunate circumstances, we separated back then. We remained friends but my love for her never wavered. When she accepted me again, I vowed that this time, I will let the whole world know that Hwangbo Hyejung is my woman.


Reporters were too excited to ask Hyunjoong questions but the emcee announced that questions will be entertained after both of them finished their statement. Now it was Hwangbo’s turn.


“Good morning everyone. Unlike Hyunjoong, I didn’t prepare any written statement. I only would like to tell everyone that Hyunjoong and I may not be a good match but even so, what we feel for each other is real. To Triple S, Hyunnies and his other fans around the world, I am not taking your Oppa away from you. I hope you can still support him even if he is in a relationship with me. I promise to take good care of him and give him love with all that I am.


Hyunjoong reached for her hands when she finished her statement. She squeezed his hands in return. Emcee announced that they will only entertain five questions and then the press conference will end. They call a reporter from an entertainment magazine,


“Hyunjongssi, we all know that there was an issue of you being gay. Is this just a ploy to cover up that scandal?”


Hyunjoong tried to be calm and not be affected with the question.


“Once and for all, I will re iterate that I am not gay. And even if I am, I wouldn’t drag Hwangbossi in my mess. But let me repeat, I am a straight man and I think Hyejungssi can attest to that.” He ended with a sly grin. Hwangbo hit his arm but laughing with his naughty innuendo.


The other questions were almost the same so the couple just breezed thru it. The last reporter was called in and again the question was directed to Hyunjoong.

“Hyunjoongssi, of all the girls, why Hyejungssi?”


Hyunjong answered with a contented smile. *“How long is your article?”* which made all the people swoon.


“I love Hyejungssi simply because I do. I don’t have a choice because my heart beats only for her. I can never imagine myself without her- without seeing her smile, hearing her laughter and simply just being beside her. Hyejung is the only woman I can imagine myself growing old with. It’s her for me and no one else.


Hwangbo was so overwhelmed with Hyunjoong’s declaration. Suddenly Hyunjoong helped her up and they walked towards the middle. Flower petals began to shower them and ballons also dropped from the ceiling. Hyunjoong then gave her a box of full of paper crane.


“There’s something inside. Go get it Buin,” he ordered.


“Shillang, don’t tell me there’s a live crane inside?" She joked but her heart was beating so fast. She put her hand inside the box, moved it a bit then got the “something” Hyunjoong was talking about. She pulled it out and saw that it was just a small box. Hyunjoong then asked her to open it. She did as asked then saw that it was a box for ring but nothing inside. All the reporters and fans were waiting and they all sigh when they saw that it’s empty. All the while, Hyunjoong was just smiling. Then he suddenly reached for Hwangbo’s hand – a scowl forming on her pretty face due to the prank he just pulled. Hyunjoong got down on his knees and uttered.


“You said you want a ring on your side dish but I decided to go traditional. In front of all these reporters, our fans and your mother, Hwangbo Hye Jung, will you marry me?”


Hwangbo scanned the crowd and there on the right side of the stage, she saw her mom dabbing tears on her eyes. Crowd was cheering and all were waiting for her reply.


“Shillang, I am sorry.” Then she removed her hand from his hold covered her face and got down on her knees too. Silence filled the entire hall wondering what just had happened.


Hyunjoong was so stunned. Hwangbo rejected his proposal. This can’t be happening. He was bewildered on what to do next when she suddenly called him.


“Shillang, I’m really sorry.” She said full of empathy. The she paused and reached out for his hand. “I’m sorry but I can’t let you go.” And then gave him a smile and finally said.


“Yes I will marry you. I’m going to marry Kim Hyunjoong.”


Hyunjoong took a big sigh of relief. He hugged her so tight and then put the ring on her finger. Hwangbo stared at the beautiful ring on her left ring finger. They face the cheering crowd and Hwangbo was surprised when Hyunjoong hold her by the shoulders and turned her towards him. He stared at her and then closed the gap by giving her a passionate kiss .For the second time that month, their kiss covered all entertainment magazines and the news of their engagement was the headline for couple of days.

Chapter11



The couple was already seated together with Hwangbo’s manager when Bae Yoong Joon arrived. As soon as everyone settled, they immediately began the meeting.


“Im so glad to finally see the both of you. I just didn’t expect it to be on this setting.” BYJ started. “So let me just clarify, you two have been together for how long?” he asked.


“We just got back together recently, Hyung but we were in a relationship two years ago.” Hyunjoong replied.


“What happened in the press conference, was that planned? “ Yoong Joon asked again.


“Bae Yoong Joon ssi, I would really like to apologize. It was not planned and I know it was a hasty decision. I know I shouldn’t have done that.” Hwangbo retort.


“Buin, I don’t think there’s a need to apologize. Yes it was not planned but we will still come out soon anyway." Hyunjoong counteract.


“Hyun joong ssi, Hwangbossi, how are you planning to appease both your fans?” Dong Won- Hwangbo’s manager asked this time.


“We both know it’s not going to be easy but they will have to get use to us. We won’t separate just because fans will not support us.” Hyunjoong declared this time.


“Hyunjoong, let me just inform you that as of now, you have lost about five offers for commercial. Some endorsement also pulled out and we are still negotiating with some.” BYJ informed them.


“I know that Hyung. I understand.” He replied.


“Are you sure you are willing to let this continue? Hyunjoong, you might lose everything you have worked for over the years.” BYJ explained to him.


“We will get married Hyung. I know, you only want the best for me but I cannot let go of Hyejung just because fans want me to do so. It’s not because I’m ungrateful, I love my fans and I owe them my career. But Hyung, what’s the sense in having everything when I don’t have someone to share it with? When I come home at night, only the silent walls of my house greet me. I may have everything but my heart is empty. But now that I have Hyejung, everything changed. I’ve never been this happy Hyung.” Hyunjoong affirmed.


All the time Hyunjoong was talking; Hwangbo was just staring and listening to him intently. She can’t believe that its Hyunjoong saying those words. When he finished, she reached for his hand and squeezed it. He just smiled back at her.


“And what about your diehard fans, Hyunjoong? I’m afraid that they will retaliate and hurt Hyejung in the process.” Dong won raised his concern.


“I will try my best to be there for Hyejung. And Dong Won Hyung, I will also ask for your assistance in looking after Hyejung when I’m not there." Hyun joong replied. Dong won just nodded his head when Hyejung suddenly speak.


“Dong Won Oppa, I can look after myself. No need to worry. Bae Yoong Joon ssi, we know that it’s a shock for you and it’s not gonna be easy for all but we ask for your understanding with our decision. “ Hyejung asserted.


“It seems that we cannot change your decision. Rest assured we will be there to support you for tomorrow’s press conference.” Bae Yoong Joon ended with a sigh.


The couple stood up and bowed to him and Hwangbo’s manager. They’ll be seeing each other tomorrow at ten in the morning for the scheduled press conference. Hyunjoong and Hwangbo left the meeting place after so they can go to Shimsontang to discuss their wedding details.


When they arrived at Shimsontang, the wedding planner and her Mom were already waiting and they head on to the office so they can have some privacy.


“Jungie, we already selected a nice wedding hall for your reception. Selina already called them and reserved the hall for the whole month of July so you can choose any date you want.” Her Mother started even before they were all able to settle on their seat.


“Mom, that’s just about four months from now. And besides, we haven’t decided on a date yet.” Hwangbo replied.


“Mother in law, I want to set it on my birthday. June6.” Hyunjoong advised.


“Really, son? Ok. Selina can you check with the hotel if we can schedule it on that day? By the way, it’s a hotel in Jeju and set as a garden wedding. I’m really so excited Jungie.” Hwangbo’s Mom exclaimed.


Hwangbo was just looking at them. She’s starting to get overwhelmed with the planning. After all, she knew that’s there’s never going to be any wedding. She decided to just head to the kitchen and left the three talking about the schedule, so she can get some food. When she went back, her Mom was not there anymore and Hyunjoong and Selina were talking seriously.


“Hyunjoong, where’s my mom?” she asked and the two was startled.


“She already left since she needed to meet another friend. Selina decided to stay so we can discuss other details.” He replied.


Hwangbo saw how Selina was staring at Hyunjoong.


“I can sense something with this girl.” She told herself as she approached them.


“What have you discussed, Shillang?” then she sat really close to Hyunjoong.


Hwangbo can’t help but be annoyed with the woman. It’s so obvious that she’s flirting with Hyunjoong. If it’s only up to her, she wouldn’t let her handle her wedding. She’s only agreeing to this because of her mom. The girl was so engrossed in explaining and offering stuffs to Hyunjoong and the man was just letting her be. It’s really getting on her nerves. After about thirty minutes, she asked Hyunjoong if they can just discuss some other time because she’s really tired. He just agreed and gave Selina his number so they can set another appointment. Hwangbo was very tempted to order him not to give her his number but she decided to just be civil and let it be.


When they arrived at their apartment, Hwangbo was already in foul mood. She went straight to their room and he just followed.


“Hyunjoong-ah, would you like to get married to other woman? She asked.


“What kind of question is that?” He replied with a scowl.


Confused with the way he answered, Hyejung asked again. “Why the face Hyunjoong-ah. I’m just asking. This is just temporary, we need to prepare ourselves.”


“Do you really have to remind me time and again that this is fake? Can you just at least enjoy what we have right now?” Hyunjoong tirade.


“But, that’s the truth. It’s just till my 33rd birthday and after that issue of you being gay died. It’s not as if we’re really getting married.” She answered back.


“Can we just stop this non-sense talk?” Hyunjoong sternly asked again. Hwangbo saw that he is not really in a good mood so she just nodded and just sit still.


“What about the curse? Do you believe it and what’s the story behind that?” he asked her after sometime.


“No, I don’t believe it. I’m only doing this for my mom. Based on what Mom told me, it started from our fore fathers. When he saw one of her daughter who was alone and lonely, he just asked God to take her. Now, the curse is that a woman in the family should get married before she turns thirty three or else she’ll die.” She told him.


“And who would you have asked if you didn’t meet me on that café?” Hyunjoong asked again.


“I actually planned to ask my bestfriend - Junjin. I met up with him that night but he introduced his girlfriend to me. I saw how happy he was so I didn’t proceed with my plan.” She honestly replied.


“It never crossed your mind to ask me, right?”


“Why would I? You’re a big star now Hyunjoong. I cannot drag you into my mess. Until now, when I think back, I wished I didn’t go to your conference so you will not be involved in this predicament.” Hwangbo explained to him.


“So you want to end this now?” Hyunjoong stated with a very grim expression.


“I don’t know. Whatever your decision is I’ll respect.” she answered.


“Do you want me to call and inform Selina that were not going to get her service?” Hyunjoong snap at her.


“So you got her number now? Tell me, are you interested with her? Maybe it’s better if you just marry her.” Hwangbo answered him back. Mentioning that girl’s name really made her furious.


“What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? ” He’s now really upset.


“I don’t know. Just let me be. Please Shillang, I want to be alone.” But this time, her voice became very soft and cold.


Hyunjoong just left her in the room. He’s really confused with her. They were happy and okay during the meeting with their management but all things changed when they met up with the wedding planner. He thought she’s going to be excited with that. Frustrated, he just decided to head down to the minimart and bought food. When he came back, he went to their room to check if she wants to eat but Hwangbo was already sleeping. When he’s done eating, he decided to also call it a day. Hyunjoong climbed in beside her and for the first time, they slept with their backs to each other.

Chapter 10

 The incessant ringing of the alarm woke up the couple who were still in deep slumber. Surprisingly, it was Hyunjoong who tried to reach over to shut it off. He grabbed the alarm on his left side and saw that Hwangbo was snuggled on his right and also rousing up from sleep. He was stunned to see how comfortable she was with the position and even if he greeted her, she just smiled back at him and then sat up and told him that she’ll take a shower.


Hyunjoong already prepared his clothes while waiting for Hwangbo. When she came out ten minutes after, he then took his turn and asked her to just get ready so they can leave soon. After showering, he head to the bedroom and saw that it’s already been arranged. He went to the living room but Hwangbo called out to him from the kitchen.

“Shillang, have a quick breakfast first. We still got time." She cheerfully invited him.


Hwangbo was dressed in just plain jeans and blouse, her hair pull up in a bun with no trace of makeup. She was over the toaster waiting for four slices of toast and then signaled him to take a seat. Coffee and juice already set and then she placed a plate in front of him. She then gave him two slices of toast with butter and raspberry marmalade, took her seat and began to eat. Hyunjoong can’t help but be mesmerized with her. She’s naturally beautiful, and waking up with her by his side, enjoying a simple breakfast is something he can never exchange to fame and money. When Hwangbo noticed that he was just staring at her, she reached out for his hands on the table and asked.


“Is there something wrong?”


He squeezed her hand and replied with a big smile “None. I am just very happy. Eveything’s great Buin.”


As soon as they finished breakfast, they both grabbed their bags and then left. They arrived at the Muhan girl shoot fifteen minutes before call time. Hyunjoong reminded Hwangbo to inform him if her manager can’t get her car from her apartment so he can just fetch her after the shoot. Hwangbo just nodded, smiled back at him then went out of the car. Hwangbo then started walking towards the set when Euni walked beside her.


“It’s not your car Jungie. Who brought you here?” she curiously asked.


“That’s Hyunjoong. He dropped me off coz he’ll be in a photo shoot. I left my car in my apartment but Oppa will get it so I can drive back home.” Hwangbo explained.


“So how was the first night?” Eunie teased her.


“It was okay Unnie." She answered with a blushed. They walked towards the set as Hwangbo told Eunie of the incident with Junri. They were almost near the set when they noticed a group of people. Both Eunie and Hwangbo bowed and smiled at them as they pass but they were surprised when a girl from the back shouted.

“Stay away from our Oppa. You old bitch”.

The security immediately pushed the group away from the set and Eunie dragged her friend immediately to the waiting room.


“Are you ok, Hwangbo-yah” she asked full of concern.


“I’m just startled but I’m ok. I’m already used to this. It’s ok Unnie.” Hwangbo replied and hugged her friend. “Come, on. Let’s go back so we can start the filming.”


Over all, the entire shoot for the day went smoothly. Hwangbo’s manager came in with her car in the afternoon, reminding her also of her schedule the next day. Her management is also ready to meet up with Keyeast before the scheduled press conference for her and Hyunjoong. When the shoot finished around one in the morning, Hwangbo bid goodbye to the rest of the staff and her manager and drove back to Hyunjoong’s place. She already advised him early that evening that she’ll be home late.


She was trying to key in the door’s security password when it suddenly dawned to her that it was actually a combination of their birthday and this made her smile. Hwangbo tiptoed her way to the room so she’ll not wake up Hyunjoong who might already be sleeping. She opened the door to their room and was surprised to see that the lamp is still on and Hyunjoong was sitting on his side of the bed immersed in reading his manga books. When she walked in, he just smiled back at her and went back reading. She went to the adjoining bathroom to take a quick shower. After about ten minutes she was ready to hit the sack. She made her way back to the bedroom and found Hyunjoong lying but the lamp still on. She climbed in when suddenly Hyunjoong spoke to her.


“You’re not gonna be seeing Junri in this building again. No need to worry Buin.”


A little bit confused she asked him. “Oh, really? I never knew he had a place here. But how sure are you about this?


“He was just renting a room in the 16th floor. My friend happened to own that place and I just asked him to do me a favor." He simply replied.


“So you kicked him out? But why Shillang?’ she enquired.


“Well, he still has three days to vacate the place. And for why? You already know the answer."


“What do you mean?’ she asked again in confusion.


“Just don’t mind it. I have an early schedule tomorrow. I might leave earlier than you. Good night Buin.” And then he closed the lamp on his side.


“Ok, it’s already morning Shillang. Sleep tight.” And Hwangbo snuggled closed to him again and sleep.


Hwangbo and Hyunjoong barely see each other for the rest of the week. Both were busy with their own activities. Hyunjoong would always come home in the wee hours of the morning and Hwangbo was already asleep. He will just crawl in bed, just stare at her for a while then fell asleep. Hwangbo on the other hand will wake up early, most of her activities are during the day but she’ll always prepare food for Hyunjoong before she leave.


The couple finally was able to get a free day just before their scheduled press conference. However, they would need to attend a meeting with Keyeast and Shimty. Both were already dressed and ready to leave the house when they heard the doorbell ring.


“Shillang, can you please get the door. I just need to find my shoes.” Hwangbo shouted from the room.


Hyunjoong opened the door and was surprised to see Hwangbo’s mom. He politely let her in, and the woman beside her. Then Hyunjoong head to the bedroom where Hwangbo was still checking her makeup.


“Buin, your Mom arrived and she’s with a woman. Come, on. "


The couple went out of their room and greeted their visitors.


“Hyunjoong, Hyejung, I’d like you to meet Selina. She’s gonna be your wedding planner.”


"What?!!" Hwangbo exclaimed. “Omma, I appreciate that you’d like to help us but isn’t it a little bit fast. It’s only been a week that I moved with Hyunjoong. We don’t need to rush in getting married."


“But, Hyejung, there’s no sense in delaying the wedding. I want to see you getting married very soon. I’m not getting any younger and I want see my grandchildren.” Her Mom reasoned out.


“Buin, just let your Mom helped us on this. Besides, we’re both busy so we don’t have enough time to plan the wedding." Hyunjoong also tried to persuade her.


“See, Jungie, Hyunjoong understands me. I know Selina will be a lot of help for this event. She already handled several wedding for stars." Her Mom told her with excitement.


“Mom, Hyunjoong and I need to leave for a meeting with both our companies. We cannot attend to it right now." She explained. Then Hwangbo turned to Selina and apologized.


“I’m really sorry but we need to attend this meeting.”


“Mother in law, why don’t you and Selina go to Shimsontang? We’ll follow to discuss the wedding details after our meeting.” Hyunjoong offered.


“That’s a good idea, Hyunjoong. Let’s go, Selina. We’ll just go to my daughter’s restaurant and wait for them.” Hwangbo’s mom declared.


“Omma, would you like us to drop you there first?” Hwangbo hesitantly asked.


“No need Jungie. Selina has her car with her. Go now, so we can discuss your wedding details soon." And she bid them goodbye while chatting with Selina about her ideas for the couple's wedding.


The couple followed soon after locking their apartment. Bae Yung joon already called Hyunjoong to advise them that he’s already on his way and they were already expecting them. Hwangbo called his manager to inform them that they’re already on the way to the meeting place. Silence filled the car as they made their way to the meeting place. This is gonna be the first time that both company will meet after the unexpected event last week and they are both unsure of their management’s decision. Hwangbo became so restless in the car; she kept on biting her nails while Hyunjoong was just driving still. When they arrived at the meeting place, Hyunjoong went out first and then open the door for Hwangbo. She’s so nervous and was still trying to calm her nerves when Hyunjoong offered his hand and assisted her in getting out of the car. They walk towards the building, unsure of their career’s future but Hyunjoong’s so sure of something. No matter what happens, he’s never letting go of her hand.
