Folie a Deux

Bebe, this chapter is for you since you love JaeKyung so much.. bwahaha.. spotlight is on your favorite girl.

Thank you for all the comments on the last chapter. You guys made me happy. Chapert 12 is on the works too.

Chapter11


Jaekyung slammed the door of her car after haphazardly parking it in front of her apartment. Once inside her room she let out a frustrated scream. She run towards her room and when she saw the framed picture of her and Hyunjoong in her bedside table, she grabbed and threw it on the floor. Jaekyung went back to the living room. She slumped on the couch, still so riled up. Last night, she waited on Hyunjoong’s house but he didn’t come. When he saw Mr Jeong arrived and left again she decided to follow him and she waited till morning just to ensure that she’ll see Hyunjoong. What she didn’t expect was that he spends the night in that place with that woman. She was now staring at the wall again when the blow up vase caught her eyes. It was a gift Hyunjoong gave her when he went to Australia. She grabs a hold of it too and threw it on the wall- smashing it to pieces. Then she stood up, went to check her kitchen and took a bottle of tequila to the living room. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked back on her life.

Jaekyung started in entertainment industry as a part of a girl group. After about a year the group disbanded and she decided to pursue a solo career. She has to be honest that her career was almost nonexistent until he met Hyunjoong a year ago. When they started dating, offers for her to guest in shows poured in. She also received offers for movie and drama. The name Jaekyung became familiar to people again. Hyunjoong proposed six months after they started dating and thinking that she’ll be happy she gladly accepted it. But then she met ShinLu in an event with Hyunjoong. Shin Lu introduced himself as an executive producer in various shows abroad. He asked for her number since he said he’s interested in offering her a series to be showed in other country. They went to dinner once, and that started their illicit affair. Shin Lu offered her a show in Japan but only if she’ll break up with Hyunjoong and be his girlfriend. He said it’s going to be a two year contract and will be a good opportunity for her to become an international star or her biggest dream- to be in Broadway. So blinded by greed, she broke her engagement with Hyunjoong and flew to Japan with the producer. When she got there she realized that she made a very hasty decision. Yes she was offered with projects but her relationship with Shin Lu became a nightmare. He started hurting her and she can’t talk to anyone else because she’s alone in that country. When she can’t take it anymore, she broke up with him. Unfortunately, that’s also the end of her career. Shin Lu terminated her contract, sighting insubordination and for being a prima donna. Of course she can’t do anything about it; their relationship cannot be exposed so she just decided to go back to Korea barely two month after she left.

The first person she contacted that she’s coming home was Hyunjoong. She was very glad that after everything, he seemed to be interested in meeting her. She wanted to come back to him. At least with Hyunjoong, she’s secured that he really loved her. Hyunjoong was in a tour when she arrived in Korea but she waited for him patiently. She wanted to surprise him so she worked her way to find his flight details. Jaekyung arrived in the airport, waiting for Hyunjoong to come out. When she saw him, she waved at him frantically but he just passed by her. He seemed to be preoccupied and he and his manager left the airport immediately. She went to his condo but he was not there. Then she thought maybe Hyunjoong was preparing a surprise for her too. She got too excited so she just went home and waited for him to contact her.


It took three days before Hyunjoong showed up on her doorstep, haggard and tired. She let him in immediately so they can talk. She asked him to just stay in the living room and prepared food for him. She silently watched him from the kitchen and can sense that something’s not right. He seemed to be lacking sleep with dark circle in his eyes and he even lose weight. Maybe that‘s from missing her too much.

Armed with his favorite food, she enthusiastically sat beside him.

“Hyunjoong-ah, I’m so glad to be home. I miss you.”

Hyunjoong was not reacting so she called his name twice.


“Huh? Sorry, I haven’t had enough sleep. Glad to see you again JaeKyung.” He replied.


“Are you too excited to meet me that you cannot sleep?” she teased. “Don’t worry, Honey. I’m back and I’m not leaving you again. We can proceed with our wedding.” She answered sweetly and kissed him on his cheek.


“Wedding? No!” Hyunjoong exclaimed in surprise.


“You mean you don’t want to marry me anymore?! Hyunjoong, I’m sorry if I backed out the last time. I know I shouldn’t have done that. I’m here now. That’s what matters.” Jaekyung countered.


“Jaekyung, it’s not that easy. You’ve hurt me. It’s not like in a snap of your finger that I’ll forget everything. I just went here to see if you’re okay and I guess you are. So I’ll leave now. “Then he stood up and head to the door.


“But, Hyunjoong!” she called him so he stopped and look back at her. “You still love me right?” Jaekyung confidently asked.


Hyunjoong took a deep breath before answering her. “With all honestly Jaekyung, I really can’t say. “And walked out of her house.


Jaekyung decided to follow every event of Hyunjoong. She knew that she needed to prove herself first so he can accept her again. She would bring him food, buy him groceries, clean his place and stay while he’s filming just so she can talk with him. Hyunjoong just let her be but he made it clear that they’re not together again yet. Jaekyung believed that if she continue doing these things, Hyunjoong will have her back.


Then one day, Jaekyung dropped by at Hyunjoong’s place. She punched in the code; he still hasn’t changed it even after what happened to them. She became very excited when she realized that he’s home. She tiptoed towards him and waited for him to finish his call. Her temper rose when she heard him mention a girl’s name.


“Kaye, do you really have no idea of how I can contact Hyejung? It’s been two months now. I just want to check if she’s okay. Please. I’ll really appreciate any information. Thank you Kaye.”


Jaekyung noisily slumped on the sofa. Just who is that freakin’ Hyejung and why is he looking for her.


“Oh, what are doing here, Jaekyung?” Hyunjoong coldly asked.


“Who is Hyejung?” Jaekyung asked back.


“She’s a good friend.” Hyunjoong simply replied.


This irritated her all the more. She stood up walk towards Hyunjoong.


“Friends, Hyunjoong? Then why does it seem that you’re almost begging just to get her contact number. If she’s just a friend then you’re not gonna be acting like that. Or maybe Hyejung is just one of your play thing? Tell me now. Are you cheating on me?!! She enraged.


“JaeKyung maybe you’ve been dreaming. How can I cheat on you? We are not even together. You have no right to accuse me and most specially call Hyejung any name. She is special to me. If she is more than just a friend, that’s none of your business.” Hyunjoong replied calmly although he’s trembling as he tried to control his anger. He turned his back but the woman grabbed his arms.


“I love you Hyunjoong and I know you still love me too. You can forget about that woman. I’ll do everything just to have you back.” And she hugged him while crying.


“I know that Jaekyung. You’ll do anything to get what you want. Even if that means cheating on me and using your body to further your career.” Hyunjoong scoffed and removed his arm from her grip.


“What do you mean, Hyunjoong?” and Jaekyung stepped back when she saw the resentment in his eyes.


Hyunjoong walked towards a cabinet. He got a brown envelop in his hand then threw it to Jaekyung.


The woman was trembling while she opens the envelop. She made a loud gasp when she saw the pictures. It was of her and Shin Lu in compromising shots. She threw it away and just cried. Hyunjoong was just staring at her but speak up after sometime.


“I’ve heard about the rumors of you and him even before you break the engagement. I kept mum about it because I trusted you. When you decided to leave for, I let you go quietly so you can pursue your career. But receiving these pictures yesterday, of you cheating on me and that you two were together in Japan and not in Broadway, I really can’t help but to despise you. Maybe you were just using me when we were together and when a greater opportunity knocked, you just dropped me like a trash. I never knew you can be like that Jaekyung. I can’t believe I loved someone as disgusting as you. “Hyunjoong declared in fury.


Jaekyung went down on her knees and pleaded.


“Hyunjoong, I know I was wrong. I really am very sorry. My biggest mistake was hurting you by believing Shin Lu. I love you Hyunjoong. Please forgive me. I promise I will change.”


“You better leave now, Jaekyung and don’t come near me again. Don’t worry; I won’t let these pictures out because I know you need to work.” he ordered and even opened the door so she can leave. Just as soon as she was able to step out, Hyunjoong shut the door of his house and his life to her.


As she looked back, anger and resentment overruled Jaekyung’s heart. Everything she has worked for, her career in Korea, her chance of becoming an international star, and now even the man who used to loved her, they’re all gone. She threw the glass of tequila against the mirror and vowed that Hyunjoong will never be happy after what he has done to her.


Now on the other side, Hyunjoong drove back to Hyejung’ place using Junho’s car. He is also keeping an eye if somebody is tailing after them. Hyejung is also agitated so she just keep quiet, praying that they will be able to come home without any problem. Both of them took a sigh of relief when they reached her place. Hyunjoong asked her to sleep, she’s been up the whole day and the events put too much stress on her and Victoria. Hyunjoong tucked her in, kissed her forehead and left her room so she can rest.


When Hyejung opened her eyes, it was already dark. She checked the clock on her bedside and was surprised when she saw that it’s almost eleven in the evening. No wonder her tummy’s already grumbling. She slowly rise and went out of her room. She saw her suitcase neatly lined up near the door. She called Hyunjoong but no one’s answering. She was about to call him on his phone when somebody greeted her.


“Good evening Hyejunggssi.” The man greeted her warmly.


Hyejung stepped back and asked. “Who are you? What are you doing here? Where’s Hyunjoong?” she asked non-stopped to mask her fear.


“I’m sorry if I scared you, Hyejungssi. My name is Hyerim and I was asked by Hyunjoong to help you move in tonight. He just needed to talk to his management for his press conference tomorrow. He said you know the way to his house in Apgujeong so just tell me the directions okay.”


“Can I just eat first? I’m really hungry.” Hyejung shyly asked.


“Of course. It’s still early. We can leave just before midnight. But I suggest you eat lite. A feast will be waiting for you in Hyunjoong’s place.” Hyerim told her with a chuckle.


“Feast? Why? Are there people waiting there for us?” Hyejung asked curiously.


“Definitely. Omma prepared as soon as Hyunjoong called him this afternoon. They’re so excited to meet you. “Hyerim replied with a smile.


“Wait,wait,wait, Omma? Hyunjoong called them?” she’s really confused now.


“Oh, I’ m so sorry. I haven’t introduced myself properly.” And Hyerim shyly offered his hand. “I’m Hyerim. Kim Hyerim- Hyunjoong’s older brother. Omma and Appa is already in Apgujeong and they are excited to meet you and their soon to be granddaughter.” Hyerim explained as Hyejung stared at him utterly shocked.

Thank u so much chinggus!!!

Chapter 10

Hwangbo was surprised that it’s already morning when she woke up. All she can remember was waiting for Hyunjoong to bring in all the gifts. Then how come she’s already in her bed? She just shrugged it off and decided to start the day. It’s only six in the morning but she’s already hungry. She walked towards the bathroom to take a shower. Once done, she head to the kitchen to cook breakfast. 

She was rummaging her cabinets to find for something to cook when he heard him call.

“Hyejung-ah why are you up so early?”  Hyunjoong asked- his voice hoarse from sleep.

“Yah!  What are you doing here?” she replied and went to the living room.

“I stayed here overnight. I can’t leave you alone so I crashed on your couch. Why are you up early?”  Hyunjoong sat as he waits for her.

“I’m hungry but I guess Junjin forgot to buy me groceries."She shyly replied.

“I have food stock in your fridge. I ask Mr. Jeong to buy us food when he came here for my change of clothes. Would it be okay if I shower first? I’ll heat the food after so we can have breakfast.” He told her.

“I’ll heat up the food. You go take a shower now.” And she gently rises from the couch. The added weight and bulk on her belly makes her move a little bit slower. Hyunjoong offered his hand so he can help her out. She shyly smiled at him again and took his hand. Hyunjoong placed his hand on her side to steady her as she stand.

“Are you sure you can manage. Promise I’ll be quick. You can just wait for me in the kitchen.” Hyunjoong asked her with worry.

“Hyunjoong, I’m just pregnant not invalid. Putting food in the microwave is no biggie. Go now so we can eat. Your daughter’s awake and making rumble in my tummy.” Hyejung ordered.

“Okay, okay. I’ll be quick.” And runs with his bag of clothes towards the bathroom. 

Hyejung went back to the kitchen and checked the fridge. True enough, she found bowls of stew and some pasta. She heats it in the microwave and waits for Hyunjoong. He was done after ten minutes and smiled when he saw Hyejung running her hands on her tummy while humming a song. He took the seat in front of her and asked.

“You have a nice voice, Hyejung. “  And Hyejung just smiled back at him. “I bet Victoria loves listening to you.” 

“I love singing to her. “She simply replied. “Come on, I’m starving, let’s eat.” And the couple started their breakfast. After sometime, Hyunjoong asked.

“Hyejung, where have you been? And why didn’t you inform me that you’re leaving. I was so worried about you.”

“I went to the Philippines. I thought you’d be too busy with your career and since Jaekyung’s back, I know you’ll need all the time with her.”  She explained.

“Wait, the day we had lunch, that was six months ago, you said you want to tell me something. You found out that you’re pregnant, right? “Hyunjoong tried to put the events together. Hyejung just nodded so he continued. “But then I told you that Jaekyung’s back. So you decided to run away.” 

“I was really planning to tell you but I saw how you long for Jaekyung and telling you about the baby might ruin everything. “ Hyejung confessed. “Hyunjoong, I’m sorry for keeping the baby from you but I only want what’s best for you that time.”

Hyunjoong tried to see her side. He saw that it was also hard for her, leaving her family while trying to start on her own. He was just so sad to miss out on the baby’s life. He’ll try to get over the past and just make up for the loss time. He took a deep breath and reached out for her hands.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you when you found out about the baby. For not being there when you needed all the support. I want to make it up to you and Vicky. Hyejung, please just give me this chance." Hyunjoong appealed.

“Are we going to stay in your house?” she enquired.

The question made Hyunjoong smiled. “I was thinking that we can stay in the house in Apgujeong. Reporters and fans knew about my place so it’s better if we stay there.” 

Hwangbo just nodded although she’s still unsure. Hyunjoong’s face brightens up and he can’t help but to rushed towards Hyejung and hugged her tight.

“Thank you, Hyejung. I will take good care of you and Vicky. Let’s get you move in by today.”

“Whoah, not so fast, Mr Kim. We need to talk to my parents first. And besides, I just arrive yesterday and my pets are still with Junjin. “Hyejung countered.

“We will see your parents this afternoon and the pets, we’ll just have to ask Junjin to bring it to our place. You haven’t unpacked your bags yet, so we’ll just bring it over.” Hyunjoong rattle on.

“It seems you have it all planned, huh. Well, I will just call my mom and asked if we can see them. They’re still staying in Junho’s place and will be back in Jeolla three days from now.  Then I’ll have to call Richard.” Hyejung retort.

“Richard? Who the hell is he and why do you have to call him?”  Hyunjoong ranted.

“Hyunjoong-ah, Richard is my doctor. I need to call him so he can send my records to your house and not here.”  Hyejung explained.

“Your doctor’s a man? Goodness, Hyejung, you’re going to give me headache.” He replied in disbelief.
Hyejung can’t help but laugh at his reaction while Hyunjoong just glared at her.

“Richard is one of the best OB/Gyn in the Philippines and her wife is my friend Sarah. I stayed with them since Sarah and I worked on her project. I am so fortune that he and Sarah took good care of me and Vicky."

“I’m grateful that they took good care of you and all.  I’d ensure to meet them if I go back to the Philippines. I’m just not comfortable with the thought that he saw you and...” Hyunjoong stuttered as he explained.

“Well, he’s a doctor so he’s use to it by now. Anyway, I’ll call my doctor here, Dr. Park and no need to worry because she’s a woman." She replied and stood up to put the dishes in the sink. Hyunjoong stood up and took the dishes from her hand. He guided her back to the living room and told her to just relax and he’ll clean up the kitchen before they leave. When he’s done he head to the living room and found Hyejung busy writing.

“What are you doing, now?” and he took a seat beside her.

“I’m just writing something for Vicky’s journal.  Do you wanna see her?” she excitedly asked. Hyunjoong nodded so she hand him a sonogram. He took it from her and stares in awe.

“She’s pretty right? I know I sound silly because you can’t see her features clearly but I believe she’ll be a beautiful child.”  Hyejung declared proudly.

“She is beautiful. Besides she doesn’t have a choice but to be pretty- she got us as parents.”  Hyunjoong retort. Their eyes met and they laughed. 

“Hyungjoong-ah, don’t you have any schedule? She asked.

“I’m off for two days but after that I need to go to Busan for album promotions. “He replied. “That’s also why I want you to move in soon. I want to see you settled before I go.”

“Okay, we can move in tomorrow. Since it’s still early, I’ll check on Kaye first. I’ll just get my laptop in the room.” And she tried standing up but Hyunjoong put his hand on her shoulder.  She sat back and let him get it.  Hyejung began working on her computer, reading mails, contracts and other correspondence Kaye sent her. Hyunjoong on the other hand just let her work while he read online manga. After about an hour, Hyejung told Kaye that she needs to go and will drop by the office the next day. She left to change her clothes and asked Hyunjoong to do the same since it’s almost ten in the morning. They left immediately and head on Junho’s house.

Hyejung’s parents were already waiting for them went they arrived. They were lead to the living room and both bowed in front of their elders.

“ Omma, Appa,  Hyunjoong and I already made a decision and we would like to ask for your blessing.

“Oh, you decided to get married!” her mom excitedly exclaimed. Her face fell when Hyejung shook her head.

“Omma, Hyejung agreed to move in with me. She’ll be living in my house in Apgujeong. I will be responsible for her and our baby." Hyunjoong explained.

“When are you planning to move in Hyejung?” her Dad simply asked.

“Tomorrow, Dad.  I just need to run some errands today. Come visit us before you go back to Jeolla.” Hyejung answered.

“Young man, take good care of her. Don’t let her work too much. If you don’t have household help, I’ll send one of ours." Her Dad offered.

“It’s okay, Appa. I already asked my Mom’s helper to stay with us. And don’t worry; I’ll make sure she’ll get enough rest. “Hyunjoong assured his “father –in-law”.

Just then Hyejung’s phone rings. She saw that its Junho calling.

“Hello Oppa , “  She greeted.

“You’re with Hyunjoong now? In my house?  Whatever happens doesn’t leave unless I told you. “Junho ordered firmly.

“But, Oppa what’s wrong. We need to leave soon? “Hyejung asked in confusion.

“Don’t ask too much. Let me talk to Hyunjoong.” Junho ordered again.

Hyejung just followed his brother’s order and gave the phone to Hyunjoong.  He then walked towards the windows and then closed the drapes again.  Hyejung can’t figure out what they were talking but she suddenly felt the tension. When Hyunjoong hung up he bowed again in front of her parents.

“ Appa, Omma. I’m sorry but Hyejung and I need to stay here and wait for Junhossi.” He calmly advised.

“What’s happening, Hyunjoongssi?” her father asked.

Hyunjoong turned to Hyejung and squeezed her hand before he answered.

“Appa, reporters are waiting for us outside. I don’t know how they track us but I just don’t want Hyejung to be dragged into this mess." Hyunjoong explained.

“Are you planning to keep my daughter a secret Hyunjoong?  If it is so then you can just forget about her. We will take her back to Jeolla and we’ll raise our granddaughter there.”Hyejung’s father asked. He’s infuriated but trying to keep in down since he saw Hyejung’s  already very tensed.
 
“No, that’s not what I mean, Sir. I will tell the public about her and our baby. I just want her to be ready for that and not like this. My management and I will hold a conference to explain everything.”  Hyunjoong humbly explained. Just then Hyejung’s phone rings and she hand it to Hyunjoong when she saw that it’s from Junho.

“Hyunjoong, the reporters will leave. Just make sure that the area is clear before you head out. Just wait for me there. I’m already on my way.”  Junho instructed.

Jaekyung was waiting in her car when she saw the reporters packing their stuff and head to their van. Confused she called the magazine office again.

“Yah, why are the reporters leaving. They haven’t got pictures. How can you get this exclusive scoop?”Jeakyung fumingly blabber.

“Look here Miss. We got direct orders from our boss to clear the scene. They told us that if we don’t all of us will lose our jobs. Now, don’t call us again, okay. Psycho! ” The producer replied.

“Ahhhh! Who the hell disrupted my plans!!!  She exclaimed in rage. “I may have failed now Hyunjoong but don’t get too cozy. I’ll find information regarding that woman."Then she maniacally speeds off.
 
Junho barged into his house startling everyone who was so tensed waiting for him.

“They already left so can now go home now.”

“How did you found out about them, Junhossi?” Hyunjoong curiously asked.

“Sena, my wife was on the way home. Good thing she saw the reporters setting up the camera so she decided to go back and called me. The owner of the publishing company is one of the sponsors in our wedding. Thinking that this might involved you, I called him up and asked to pull out his crew. Thank God, he agreed.” And took a sigh of relief.

“Who would know that we’re here? Did you notice someone following us?” Hyejung asked while rubbing her tummy.  It became a habit of hers every time she’s stress. It calms her and the baby.

“I don’t have any idea, Hyejung. We really have to be very careful.” Hyejung took her hands and entwined with his.

“Better come out in the open before they expose this like dirty garbage. “ Hyejung’s appa ordered and left the room.

“Junhossi, thank you for helping us. I owe you. I will ask my manager to set the press conference before I leave for Busan." And he turned to Hyejung’s mother. “ Omma, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.  I’ll settle everything as soon as possible." And he bowed to her again.

“Use my car. It’s better to be cautious. I’ll just pick it up in Hyejung’s place. “And Junho tossed the keys to Hyunjoong and the couple left heavy hearted.

To all the anons, thank you and hope you can leave your name next time. To Holic, welcome to purplesoul and thank you for linking my blog to yours.. To everyone, a big, big thank you from the bottom of my purple heart...

Chapter 9


“Yes! I’m pregnant with your child. You are the baby’s father!” Hyejung confessed in between tears and gently slumped on the nearest chair. Hyunjoong remained speechless as well as her whole family. Her Dad was standing beside her Mom, arms around her shoulder while her brothers were just staring at Hyunjoong. Just then Hyunjoong broke the silence.


“Let’s get married.” He said in a very firm voice while looking directly at her.


“Are you out of your mind? How can we get married when you’re already engaged.” She replied. Her words made everyone gasped and her mother broke into tears.


“I was engaged.” Hyunjoong countered.” Was, okay? That means I’m not anymore.” He explained.


“But, JaeKyung, she’s back right? I thought you’re together again?” she asked in confusion.


“Yes, she’s back but we’re not together. Let’s not discuss that as of now. We need to get married soon.” He answered.


“No, were not getting married.” Hyejung replied with finality.


Her family was again taken aback. Her Mom can’t help but asked her.


“Jungie-ah, what’s wrong? He’s willing to marry you. Think of the baby’s future.” Her mom pleaded.


“Mom, I believe that being pregnant is not enough reason to get married. I want to get married to the man I love and who love me in return. Don’t worry about the baby; I will explain everything when she’s old enough. “She explained. Her Mom just stared back at her, still cannot believe she rejected Hyunjoong’s proposal.


“But, Hyejung, I want to be responsible to you and the baby. I want to become part of his or her life.” Hyunjoong countered.


“Hyunjoong, I am not going to keep this baby away from you. I won’t run off again, that I can promise. Being a part of Victoria’s life will be your choice. You are her father but I won’t demand anything from you.” She calmly replied.


“If you don’t want us to get married, can you just live with me? I want to take care of you. I already missed the first six month of my baby’s life and I want to be there when she comes out.” Hyunjoong appealed.


“Jungie let him take care of you. I don’t want you living on your own now. It’s safe if you have someone to look after you. “Her mom interjected again.


Junho, sensing that Hyejung is still contemplating on whether to take the offer, butt in.


“Omma, I guess it’s best if they can talk about this first- Just the two of them. I know both of them only have the baby’s welfare at heart so they will make a wise decision. “


“Omma, Appa, I know I have failed you. But I promise that I will take care of myself and the baby. I will always think of Victoria first before myself. She’s the most precious thing to me. Trust me on this, please, Omma, Appa. “Hyejung asked understanding from her parents.


“Hyejung-ah, I’ve always trusted you. I never doubt your capabilities. I will accept your decision and remember that we will always be here for you and your baby.” Her father calmly replied. She walked towards him and she cried in his embrace. Her father was never the emotional and expressive type and hearing him talk right now erased all her worries. If her father trusts her then everything will be fine.


“Aigoo, stop all this drama now and we should celebrate. Our Jungie’s back and three months from now, we’ll all see Vicky. “Junho bubbly exclaimed. Hwangbo smiled at him and he reached out for her hand.


“Now, Jungie, you sit here in the middle. We all have gifts for Vicky.” And he assisted her as she took a seat. “Would you like to have Hyunjoong here, too?” he enquired. Hwangbo turned to Hyunjoong, and waited for him to answer.


“I’d be happy too.” Hyunjoong gladly replied. Hwangbo nodded so Hyunjoong took a chair and sat beside her.


Hwangbo and Hyunjoong took turns in opening the gift. Both were delighted to check out every little frill dresses and hoards of toys – to think it’s just from her family and friends. They share a sumptuous dinner with Hyunjoong never leaving Hyejung’s side. At around eight in the evening, the party came to a close. Hyunjoong advised Hwangbo’s parents that they will visit them as soon as they reached an agreement. His manager was already waiting and he’ll send Hyejung home. They were almost at the parking lot when Hyejung’s father called and pulled him in a corner.


“Hyunjoongssi, just so you know, I don’t approve you for my daughter but we can’t do anything about it now. Like I told her, I will accept her decision. But remember that she’s my princess and don’t you dare hurt her or my granddaughter. I know she’ll be upset if I hurt you but the moment you make her cry, I swear you’ll answer to me.” Then Hyejung’s father walked away.


Hyunjoong went back to Hyejung- she was waiting for him by the door and he assisted her towards his car. He loaded all the gifts in the compartment and asked his manager to drive them towards her house.


When they arrived, Hyunjoong asked her to just rest in the sofa as he bring all the gifts inside. Her pets are still with Junjin so the house is quiet. She rest her head on the sofa and propped her feet on the coffee table as she listen to Hyunjoong bringing each gift in. When Hyunjoong successfully have every gift stowed in her room, she was already fast asleep. He then approached her, lifted her off the couch and carry her towards her room. Hyejung stirred and laid a protective hand on her tummy.


“It’s just me, Hyejung. Sleep now.” He gently whispered in her ear. She then just mumbled okay then dozed off again. Even when Hyunjoong laid her in her bed, she just moved to a comfortable position and continues sleeping.


Hyunjoong can’t help but be mesmerized with Hyejung. She was beautiful when he first met her but there’s a certain glow on her, now that she’s pregnant. He gently placed his hand on her tummy, careful not to wake her up and talk to the baby.


“So... It was you Victoria. Hello baby, I’m your Daddy. You can hear me right there huh? Sorry but I don’t wanna wake up your mom so I’ll talk softly, okay. I’m so glad to finally be here with you. You were in my dreams so many times these past months but you were always running away and saying goodbye. Don’t worry baby, I promise that from now on, I’ll be here for you and no one can take you away from me and your mother. I can’t wait for the day that I will finally see you. I...” Hyunjoong stopped when Hyejung rubbed her tummy. When he saw that she’ still asleep he continued.


“I will stay with you and Mommy. I will just be sleeping in the couch for now. You sleep now my Victoria. Daddy loves you.” And then he gently rose from the bed, tucked Hyejung in and left to sleep in the couch.

The next day, around ten in the morning, Hyejung and Hyunjoong made their way towards his car. They’re off to talk to Hyejung’s parents about their decision. From a far, someone was secretly watching them from a parked car. When they left, the car tailed after them. The couple is still oblivious to what’s about to happen.


“Hello, yes. Is this The Star Gossiper? Good, I have a scoop for you. I’ll text you the details. I’m after them right now. Be sure to send in crew okay.” And she ended the call.


“So, that’s the little biatch you replaced me with? Too bad for her Hyunjoong. I won’t take this sitting down. If I can’t have you, then I’ll just make sure to one else does.” JaeKyung uttered bitterly as she trailed after them.

Chapter 8

“Hello, Kim Hyunjoongssi.” She uttered in meek voice.

Hyunjoong was stunned. She can’t believe it’s really Hyejung. He has been looking for this woman for so long and he can’t believe that she’s just in front of him now. But wait, there’s something different with her. 

“You’re pregnant?!!” he asked in shocked.

“No, I just had too much to drink.” She replied mockingly.

“This is not the time to be sarcastic, Hyejung.  Where have you been all this time? I have been looking for you.”  

 “I need to help out a friend with her business. I went out of the country.” She simply explained.

“Then, why didn’t you inform me. A simple text or call would do.” He asked again.

“Come on Hyunjoong. Why do I have to do that, you’re not my husband or boyfriend. I don’t have to let you know everything I do. And besides, you have your fiancĂ©’ back now, right? Just be with her and don’t bother me.” Hyejung countered and stood up immediately. She turned her back to Hyunjoong and tried calling Junjin but he’s not answering. Hyunjoong just stood there watching her. When Junjin still didn’t answer her call she sat down again. 

“When are you due, Hyejung?” he asked.

Hyejung didn’t know if he’ll answer him. She racked her brain thinking what to tell him when she heard someone called her. Thank goodness for the lifesaver.

“Oppa?!!” she squealed. Oh, no. This is not happening. She thought it was Junjin but she was surprised to see her older brother walking towards them. This is not good.

“Hyunjoong-ah, better go now. My brother’s here so we’ll leave now.” Hyejung clumsily turned to push her cart but it was too late. Her brother’s already standing in front of her and Hyunjoong .

“Hyejung-ah. It’s good to finally have you back.” And her brother hugged her. Noticing Hyunjoong he asked. “Do you personally know Mr. Kim, Jungie?” 

“Ah, Oppa, he’s a friend. He just said hi.  Hyunjongssi- this is older my brother, Junho." She introduced the two.

Hyunjoong bowed and shook the older man’s hand.

“Jungie, we better go now, Omma and Appa’s waiting.” Junho told Hyejung.

“Okay, Oppa. Hyunjoong, it was nice seeing you again. Bye for now.” And she hurriedly wrapped her arm on her brother’s and then walked towards the exit. They were only a few steps away when Junho looked back and turned to Hyunjoong.

“Ah, Mr. Kim. Since you’re a friend of Hyejung, would you like to join us? We will celebrate the coming home of our prodigal sister.” He asked him and smiled at the frowning Hyejung. 

“Oppa, Hyunjoong is so busy. We’ll invite him some other time. Come on now don’t bother him.” Hyejung countered even before Hyunjoong can utter a word.

“Hmm, Junhossi, Hyejung, I’m free the whole day. I just got back from a tour in the Philippines. Its gonna be good to catch up with a friend." Hyunjoong replied with a smile.

“Ok, then come with us. But if it’s okay, try not to let this press people follow us."Junho ordered with a smile ignoring Hwangbo’s obvious rejection.

“Okay, but would it be okay if I’ll share a ride. I’ll ask my manager to divert these reporters’ attention.

“No worries. We’ll wait for you at the parking lot. Just hurry.” And Junho and Hyejung made their way out.

After about ten minutes, Hwangbo saw Hyunjoong approaching. His manager used his car and left so the reporters will follow him and let Hyunjoong escape. Junho asked Hwangbo to call him so she had no choice but to roll down the window and call him out. He run towards the car and then sat beside Hwangbo.

“Junho-ssi, sorry for taking too long. I just need to ensure that no one’s following me.

“It’s okay, Hyunjoong. By the way, how did the two of you meet?”  Junho asked.

“I commissioned her to do the interior design of my house. We’ve been friends since then.” Hyunjoong answered.

“Hyejung, why didn’t you tell us that he’s your friend? You always do that with your guy friends. And did you tell Junjin about him.”  Junho turned to her.

“No I haven’t Oppa. Oppa, would it be okay if I take a nap. I’m exhausted.” She made an excuse so she can avoid her brother’s questions. Junho nodded so she just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

All the while, Hyunjoong was just staring at her sleeping figure. She looks more beautiful now. He wanted to reach out and touch her but he restrained himself since Junho was just sitting in the passenger seat.  He just took his time gazing at her. He remembered how worried he was when he found her home locked up when he came back from a tour four months ago. He went straight to her house from the airport wondering what happened to her since she’s not answering his call.  He learned from the neighbor that she left just around two days ago. He regret coming back home late. He went to Hwangbo Interiors and checked if she’s in but her secretary told him that she’s out of the country and just sending her correspondence. He asked if she knows her contact number but her secretary refused. It seems like Hwangbo Hyejung left and she doesn’t want to be found. It really made him sad and missed her so much.

Hyejung, although eyes closed can still feel his gaze at her. She‘d rather keep on pretending to be asleep than face his questions and his brother’s. After sometime, she drifted off to sleep without meaning to.  Hyunjoong noticed that she’s now fast asleep since her head keeps falling on the other side. He scooted next to her then let her head rest on his shoulder. Hyejung snuggled closer to him and that made him smile. He then closed his eyes and also tried to catch a wink.

Junho was just looking at the two thru the mirror. He can sense that Hyejung’s keeping something from him about Hyunjoong but he’ll just play along for now. When they reach the restaurant he turned and woke up Hyunjong. Hyunjoong opened his eyes and smiled at Junho while Hyejung is still sleeping soundly. He just runs his hands on her cheeks so as not to startle her. She shifted a bit, then gently opened her eyes.

“We’re here, Hyejung.” He whispered.

Hyejung scampered from him and asked his brother. “Oppa, where are we?”

“Jade Blue, Jungie. Omma and Appa’s waiting. Come on.”  And Junho stepped out of the car.

Hyunjoong got out first then assisted Hyejung. They followed Junho and were lead to a big private hall.

As soon as Hyenjung stepped into the hall, party poppers were popped and loud cheer greeted her.

“Welcome back Hyejung!!” 

Hyejung was overwhelmed with happiness. Her whole family is here, Junjin and Bea and Kaye. After all the trouble she had cost them, they welcomed her back whole heartedly. She walked as fast as she could and hugged her mother.

“Omma, I miss you. I’m sorry for causing you pain.” She whispered in between tears.

“Its okay, baby. You’re here now, that’s what matters. “Her mother replied while wiping her tears.

“What are you doing here?” Junjin’s loud booming voice startled everyone and turned to the man standing awkwardly at hall’s entrance.

“He is Hyejung’s friend and we met him in the airport. I invited him to celebrate with us.” Junho calmly explained and motioned Hyunjoong to come in. He walked towards Junho and Junjin. He introduced himself and offered to shake Junjin’s hand but the latter ignored him. Hyejung walked towards them, sensing the tension between the two men.

“Hyejung-ah, why did you have to meet up with this guy again? After what he has done?”  Junjin asked in frustration.

“I’m sorry Junjin-ssi but I don’t know why you’re being rude to me. I’ve done nothing wrong.  If Hyejung and I are seeing each other, it’s none of your business anymore.” Hyunjoong rebuts.

“None of my business?"Junjin scoffed. “Well, let me tell you this. I am her best friend and I saw how hard it was for her to learn that she’s pregnant and that you’re going back with you fiancĂ© at the same time” he explained with gritted teeth.

“Junjin!” Hwangbo yelled at him. Junjin just stared at her and continued.

“Now, if you don’t get it yet, Mr Kim. I’ll explain it simply to you…”  But Hyunjoong cut him off with a deadly glare and he turned to Hyejung.

“Am I the father of your baby, Hyejung?"

Hyejung was taken aback with what’s happening. She wasn’t able to answer instantly and was just staring at Hyunjoong’s grim expression.

“Am I the baby’s father, Hyejung? Damn it! Answer me!” Hyunjoong yelled.

“Yes! I’m pregnant with your child. You are the baby’s father!” Hyejung confessed in tears leaving Hyunjoong and her family dumb founded.
