Dedicated to the six member group, here's chapter 17..Welcome to the world Victoria!!

Chapter 17

Hyunjoong knows that he probably be charged for over speeding but he doesn’t care. This is the first time after a month of taking a rest from his busy schedule that he’ll be home late. If only that the CF shoot wasn’t schedule months before Hyejung came back, he would have cancelled it or asked for reschedule. This morning, he dropped Hyejung in the office and told her that he’ll still pick her up and just wait for his call. It’s just that they encounter a lot of technical problem hence causing a delay. The shoot was only until five in the afternoon but it extended till seven in the evening. He tried calling Hyejung to inform that he’ll be late but she’s not answering. As soon as the shoot finished, he drove straight to Hwangbo Interiors.  He saw Junjin ushering Bea out of the office. He runs towards them to ask if Hyejung is still there. Fear rose when Bea told him that Hyejung went home early and not feeling well.  He then runs back to his car and drove home.  He tried calling Hyejung but she’s still not picking up. When he called their home phone, Beka told him that she’s in her room resting. It calmed him a bit but he’ll only feel at peace when he’s home with her in his arms.

As soon as he reached their house, he just haphazardly parked his car .Trying to catch his breath he stood by the bedroom’s door and gently opens it so as not to startle Hyejung who might already be sleeping. His heart almost leaped out from his chest when he saw her standing in the middle of the room, a phone in one hand, panic and fear on her face as she look down at the pool of water by her feet.

“I think my water bag broke. Let’s go to the hospital.” Hyejung told him with shaking voice.

He didn’t know how he was able to carry her out of the room, ordered Beka to get the bags and drive towards the hospital. He’s now again driving beyond the speed limit but who cares when all he can think of is to arrive at the hospital as soon as possible. He was startled when Hyejung although in pain grabbed his phone on the dashboard and call the doctor.

“Hello, Doctor Park, where on our way to the hospital. I think my water bag broke about ten minutes ago. Yes, doctor. I’ll hang up now. I can feel another contraction coming. We’ll see you in the hospital.”

Hyunjoong waited for her to put down the phone before he spoke. “You should have let me call the doctor,Jungie”.

“I don’t want you to lose your focus on the road.” She was able to reply before a sudden pain hit her.

“Remember the breathing exercise honey, come on. Follow me... hee hee, ho.” Hyunjoong ordered. Hyejung had her eyes shut and not saying anything so he cajoled again. “Honey, come on please, this will help you... hee, hee, ho.”  He repeats the breathing exercise they learn from the birthing class.

Instead of following him, Hyejung let out a wail as pain hit her again. Hyunjoong stepped down on the accelerator to speed up, more worried now that the pain hits Hyejung not so far apart. He can see that she’s now drenched in sweat even if the car air conditioner is in full blast and she kept her eyes shut.

“Hee, hee, ho, honey come on, follow me.” Hyunjoong began again but his voice is now shaking as he looked at Hyejung.

“Will you please stop that? It’s annoying me. I will do it by myself.” Hyejung snapped. Her face still contorted with pain.

“But Jungie you need to do it. I just want to help you.” Hyunjoong replied.

“Sing!” Hyejung ordered.

“What? “  He asked back in confusion.

“You want to help me? Then sing.”  She barked at him. She yelped again with the contraction and tried the breathing exercise. Hyunjoong have no choice but to follow her.

geudaereul angoseo
himi deulmyeon nunmul heullil suga isseoseo

Hyejung shrieked as another contraction hit her and Hyunjoong reached out for her hand.

“Jungie, were almost here. Just hang on ok.” And just as he finished his sentence, they reached the emergency room entrance. He just stopped the car and then ran towards Hyejung‘s side and pick her up. A medical team was already waiting for them with Dr. Park.

“So Hyejung, your little one cannot wait anymore. Ready to get this ball rolling?”  Dr.Park asked while trying to comfort her.

Hyejung nodded with a smile despite the pain she’s having and Hyunjoong just followed as they wheeled her to the delivery room. Nurses stopped him at the door which startled him.

“No, I want to be with Hyejung. I am the father’s baby. Let me in.” he insisted.

“Sir, we just need to get you in scrubs. We will let you in. Just calm down.” The nurses gently explained.

Hyunjoong felt ashamed at his behavior but he’s just too worried about Hyejung. He asked the nurse if he can use the phone first before getting into the scrubs. Might as well inform Hyejung’s family about her condition. He tried calling Junho and he was glad that he answered by the 2^nd ring.

“Hello, Junho Hyung. Hyejung might be giving birth anytime. We’re in the hospital right now. Can you inform Omma and Appa.”  He immediately ended the call when Junho told him that they’ll come as soon as possible.

When Hyunjoong was ushered into the delivery room, Hyejung was already propped up and Dr Park was checking on her. He almost back out but the doctor talked to him.

“Hyunjoongssi, it’s not gonna be long and your baby’s coming out. We just need for her to be fully dilated. And I guess you’re her birthing coach right? ”

“Yes, Doctor Park.” And he moved towards Hyejung. He wiped the sweat running down her neck and saw how tired she looks. “Hyejung-ah, I’ll be here okay. We can do it.” And he kissed her temples. 

Hyejung just nodded and let out another wail with the contraction. Hyunjoong saw the unshed tears on her eyes and he wished he could take the pain away from her. After only about five minutes she felt another contraction and this time it’s stronger that her tears started falling. Doctor Park checked her once again and announced that Hyejung’s ready.  She instructed Hyunjoong to just let Hyejung hold on to him as she tried pushing the baby out.

“Come on, Hyejung just one more push, I can see the baby’s head.”  Dr Park coaxed. 

Hyejung’s been pushing for quite some time now. It’s more than an hour since they have arrived. She’s already exhausted and really having a hard time.

“Come on, baby. We’re almost there. You want to see Victoria, right?” Hyunjoong gently whispered.

“My baby, I wanna see her. I wanna go home.” Hyejung replied, her voice hoarse from exerting too much energy.

“We will see her soon. Just one more push. Come on babe. “He gently cajoled. Hyejung nodded, her eyes shut and pushed one more time with all her might.

“Okay, the heads out, good Hyejung! Come on, here’s one shoulder and okay, we got little Vicky!”  Dr. Park rattled in excitement.

Hyejung slumped as Hyujoong supported her tired body. He dropped a kiss on her lips just as Dr Park called him.

“Hyunjoong-ah, you need to cut the cord. “

He walked towards the end of the bed and saw the squalling baby. She’s still got blood all over her but definitely she’s the most beautiful baby he’s ever seen. He hesitantly got the clippers from the doctor and cut the cord as instructed. He then reached out to pick the baby but Dr Park moved her away.

“Yah! Excited Appa. Let us clean your daughter first and we’ll bring her back. We’ll move Hyejung in her room in a while. Now, let your family know that Hyejung’s okay. I bet they’re all waiting outside. I’ll tend to Hyejung so we can transfer her in her room okay? “

Hyunjoong dropped a kiss on Hyejung’s forehead and told her that he’ll go and meet their family. When he opened the door of the delivery room, Hyejung’s father and mother, Junho and Jinri flanked around him.

“Hyunjoong-ah how’s my daughter? The baby?” Hyejung’s mother asked worriedly.

“Omma, Hyejung’s okay. She’s tired but she’s good. The baby, Omma, she’s beautiful.”  Hyunjoong replied with pride.

The parents took a sigh of relief and Junho and Jinri patted his back.

“When are they going to move Hyejung into her room?” Junho asked.

“She’ll be transferred in a while. Dr.Park is still checking on her.” He responded.

Hyunjoong heard his name called so he went to see the nurse. He was informed that they’ll bring Victoria once Hyejung’s settled.  The nurse told him that the baby is in the nursery sleeping. Hyunjoong called Hyejung’s family so they can see little Vicky.  They head to the nursery where he immediately spotted her daughter. She was wrapped in a pink blanket, sleeping soundly.

“ Hyunjoong-ah, Victoria is really beautiful. “ the proud grandmother uttered.

“I know, Omma. I’ll enroll her in taekwondo lessons at an early age so no guys can come near her.” He seriously replied.

“You better see to it.” His father in law added making everyone laugh.

When Hyejung opened her eyes, she looked around and found out that she’s already in her private room.  She ran her hands on her tummy out of habit and missed the bulge that was previously there. She turned to look at her side and only then that she noticed Hyunjoong, his head pillowing his arms which was holding her other hand. Hyejung run her free hand on his hair and he automatically woke up...

“Hey, Sweetie. Are you okay? You need anything?” Hyunjoong asked in a raspy voice.

“Where’s Victoria? “  She asked in reply. Hyunjoong saw her attempt to sit up so he fixed her bed a little upright.

“She’s still in the nursery. She was sleeping when we saw her earlier. Your Mom, Dad and brothers already left. They were here but didn’t wake you up. They’ll be back tomorrow.” He replied.

“Hyunjoong-ah, we need to talk.” Hyejung started but then they heard a knock and the door opens.

“Hyejungssi, Hyunjoongssi, look who we have here.”  The nurse announced with a smile as she hand the baby over to Hyejung.  Hyejung eagerly reached for her and tears started falling as she stares at Victoria. Hyunjoong stood up and sat beside her so he can see her closer.

“She’s beautiful, she looks like you but I can also see a part of me in her.” Hyunjoong uttered in amazement. Hyejung just nodded with a smile. She counted the little fingers on Victoria’s hand and peppered kiss her chubby cheeks. Every pain and hurt she felt vanished when she finally cradled her daughter in her arms.

The orderlies came with a counselor who will explain and discuss breast feeding. Hyejung listened intently and when Victoria started to whimper, the counselor helped her out.  Hyunjoong can’t help but chuckled when Hyejung gasped as Vicky greedily latched on her breast. Hyejung smiled as she heard the funny sound the baby’s making as she eats .The counselor and the nurses left after ensuring that everything’s okay.

Hyejung closed her eyes as she savored the indescribable feeling she has right now. Looking at her sleeping baby in her arms as she gave her nourishment, she vowed that she’ll do anything to keep her safe and happy. When she met Hyunjoong’s eyes, unknowingly her tears started rolling down.

“Hyunjoong-ah, thank you for giving Victoria to me. Whatever happens I will always be grateful for this very precious gift.”

Hyunjoong gently wiped her tears away and dropped a kiss on her lips. He knows that something’s bothering her as he saw certain sadness when she looked at him, but he’ll let her rest first.  For now he’s contented and at peace just watching over the two girls he loved the most.

Folie a Deux

sorry for the drama chinggus..hehe..i just want to vent out..anyways here it is..enjoy!!

Chapter16

Hyunjoong woke up with the sunlight on his face. He gently opened his eyes and turned to his side. There on the crook of his arms, Hyejung still sleeps peacefully. He can’t help but gaze at her and gently trace the bridge of her nose. He showered her face with butterfly kisses and smiled when he felt Hyejung awakening. When his eyes met hers, he tilted her chin and gives her a quick kiss.

“What a good way to start the day. Good morning, Babe.” Hyunjoong grinned and pulled her closer to him.

“Good morning, Hyunjoong-ah. Indeed it’s a great morning. The weather’s nice, Vicky’s still asleep and I woke up with your kiss. I can get use to this.” Hyejung replied.

“Well, you better. I’m here to stay. Would you like to stay here for a while or should we go and have breakfast?”  He asked.

“Five minutes.” And she placed her hands on his chest.

“Honey, you said we’ll stay only for five minutes. Don’t start something we can’t finish okay,” Hyunjoong reprimanded her but with a smile on his face. Hyejung pouted but gave him a smile when he said later.

“Hyejung-ah, what do you think of the name Soo Jin for our baby?" Hyunjoong enquired.

“Kim SooJin. I like it. But we’ll use her English name too, okay. I’m so used calling her Victoria.” Hyejung agreed.

“Of course. But do you know what Soo Jin means?” he asked again. Hyejung shook her head so he continued. 

“It means, treasure. Because you and Victoria are my most precious treasure." He simply explained. Hyejung was so touched; she caressed his face, murmured thank you before giving him a kiss. When it ended, Hyunjoong stood up and helped her out of the bed.

“Honey, go and take a shower. I’ll check if we already have breakfast.”

“Don’t you want to shower together?” Hyejung teased again.

Hyunjoong gently smack her on the bum before pushing her towards the shower stall. 

“Your offer is very tempting but I’d rather have you when we have more time. Junjin and Bea might be waiting for us already. Go now or else we’ll not go out of this room the whole day.”

Hyunjoong head out and found the whole house still silent so he just went back to their room. Hyejung just finished taking a quick shower so he took his turn. After about fifteen minutes, they went out of the room hand in hand.

Bea and Junjin was surprised that when they went out to have breakfast the other couple is still nowhere to be found. Bea decided to cook breakfast, bacon and eggs and simple toast while Junjin rummaged the fridge and found bottled juice. They have everything ready when Hyunjoong and Hyejung arrived hand in hand. They took a seat and shared the meal.

“So, you two have a nice sleep?” Junjin asked with a teasing look.

“Definitely. “ Hyunjoong replied and squeezed Hyejung’s hand.

Bea and Junjin noticed the shift on the couple’s relationship but decided to be quiet about it. They’re happy to see Hyunjoong fussed about Hyejung and never leaving her side. They enjoyed the remaining days in Jeolla by taking a dip in the sea, strolling along the shore and just being with each other. And just like that the three days past in a blur and their vacation has to end.

Hyunjoong was driving back to their place in Apgujeong, while Hyejung sleeps. He has planned a surprise for her and hopes that she’ll like it. When they arrived, he gently woke her up and helped her out of the car.

“Honey, I have a surprise for our baby. Can you just close your eyes for a second? Don’t worry, I’ll guide you.”Hyunjoong said. Hyejung closed her eyes and with Hyunjoong holding her by the waist guiding her towards their destination. Then Hyunjoong asked to open her eyes at the count of three. Hyejung was surprised and her tears fell when she saw Hyunjoong’s gift for Victoria- there stood in the middle of the garden is a mini playground. A slide, swing set, monkey bars and see-saw and on the other side is a mini playhouse.

“Well, I’m hoping Victoria’s not going to be an only child so I prepared everything.” Hyunjoong explained.

“Thank you so much, Hyunjoong. I’m sure Vicky will enjoy playing here once she’s old enough. And with regard to your other plan, let’s just discuss that once Vicky’s out, okay” And she drop a kiss on his lips.

“Okay. So this is for our kid, now I also have a gift for you. Come on.” And Hyunjoong took her hand as they walk towards the house. Hyejung was surprised when she was lead to the garage. A sleek red car was parked and Hyunjoong hand her a key.

“This one’s for you, Hyejung-ah. I don’t want to hear any objection. I know your car is still in top condition but consider this as a gift for coming back. This is also fit once you go back to work and if you want to bring Victoria with you.” Hyunjoong explained.

“Hyunjoong-ah this is too much.” She protested but Hyunjoong silenced her with a kiss.  Knowing that he will not accept any reason she just took the keys and check the car. When she’d seen enough, she stood beside Hyunjoong and wrapped her arm around him and whispered.

“Thank you, jagiya.”

Hyunjoong was surprised with the way she called him. He felt a sudden rush of emotion in his heart and he can’t help but be giddy with her simple sign of affection. Hyejung laughed at him and he just enveloped her in a big bear hug.

Time passed quickly. Only two more weeks before Hyejung’s due date. For the past couple of weeks, since Hyunjoong free up his schedule, he would send and pick up Hyejung in her office. She wanted to work and keep running her business even if she’s a lot bigger now. While Hyejung is in the office, Hyunjoong would drop by at their management office, do quick training or check project offers. Sometimes he also does events but only if this will not require out of town or whole days shoot. In the afternoon they would head home after or sometimes drop at his parents’ house. Good thing that after their public confession, reporters back out and not follow them much anymore. But they still enjoy just being at home, playing with their pets and just enjoying time together. They already finished attending birthing class to which Hyunjoong eagerly participated. Since they’re only waiting for the big day, Hyejung already prepared her maternity bag, ready to go anytime needed and Hyunjoong has the doctor’s number in speed dial.

Hyejung was in the office, busy checking the new project that Bea is handling. A month ago, she offered Bea to just work with her in her business. Since Bea enjoyed working for her when she was out of the country, she accepted the offer. So now, she just stays in the office and oversees everything. She’ll work fulltime again after giving birth. Kaye came in to give her a parcel and left after. Hyejung checked it, no return address or details to where it came from. She opened the enveloped and immediately dropped it on her drawer after glancing at it. Hyejung was stunned with what she saw. She sat there dazed, looking blankly at the wall. After a while, she grabbed her bag and locked her office.  Kaye was there doing some paper works when she passed by.

“Kaye, I’m heading home now, I’m not feeling well.” She informed her secretary.

“Hyejung- ah, are you okay? Is Hyunjoong there to pick you up?”  Kaye asked worriedly.

“No. I’ll just text him that I’ll go ahead.” Hyejung replied.

“I’ll drive you home. Let me just get my bag. Bea’s on the way here.  I’ll just inform her.” Kaye told her with finality and she just nodded.

On the way home, Hyejung just kept quiet and just looking at the road. Kaye helped her inside the house but she insisted that she’s okay.  Beka asked if she wants to eat but she said she’s not yet hungry and will just take a nap. Instead of going to their room, Hyejung head to Victoria’s room. She sat on the play mat clutching the panda stuff toy Hyunjoong gave her before.  Her tears fell as she looked around the room. She laid her tired body and before she knew it sleep claimed her.

Hyejung didn’t know how long she had been sleeping but she was startled by a sudden pain in her belly. Thinking that it’s just because of sleeping on the floor, she gently stood up and stretched. The pain went away and she just decided to check the things on Victoria’s cabinet. She re-folds the baby’s clothes, arranged the diaper bags and just ensures that everything’s in order.  When she went out of the room only then that she’s noticed that it’s already eight in the evening yet Hyunjoong’s not home. Beka served her dinner and after getting just a few spoonfuls, she went back to bed. She took a quick shower because she’s feeling hot and clammy. She dons her dress shirt and climbed in bed. Hyejung was reading her pregnancy book when she felt another pain by her lower back. She decided to lie down to ease the pain but only a few minutes passed when it hit again and much stronger.  She stood up to get her phone and call her doctor. She was able to take a couple of steps when the bedroom door open and then she suddenly felt liquid gushing on her feet. Panic stricken, she mumbled at the more petrified looking Hyunjoong.

“I think my water bag broke. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Chapter15

Hyunjoong was stunned to see Hwangbo smiling sweetly as she welcome him home. She was standing in the middle of the room, wearing a white tube summer dress. She just let down her hair and her make up very minimal. With the sunlight on her back, her beauty radiates and he can’t help but reach out and envelop her in a hug.

“I miss you.” He uttered as he hug her tighter.

“I miss you too.” She shyly replied. She tiptoed and gives him a kiss.

Hyunjoong was surprised at Hyejung’s action. He smiled at her and said.

“If being away for three days will give me that, then maybe I should leave again and for a longer period.” Hyejung just smiled back and hit him lightly on his arms.

“I just missed you. Is it wrong to kiss the father of my baby?”

“Of course not. I think I deserve more than that.”  Hyunjoong replied.

“Really? What else do you want?” daringly she asked again.

“Hmmm...Something like this...” and he swooped down for a breath taking kiss. They only parted when they run out breath and Hyunjoong gently assisted Hyejung to sit back on the couch.

“Are you okay, Hyejung-ah?” he asked as he stares at her fidgeting on the couch.

“Yes. Very much, okay.” She replied with a smile but Hyunjoong just raised his brow as if to question if what she said is true. “You just surprised me.  I never expected you would be that eager.” And a deep blush showed on her face. 

Hyunjoong just chucked and hugged her one more time. Hyejung gently extricate herself from his grasp as she tried to stand up and motioned for him to follow. He just did as asked and he smiled all the more when he saw the food prepared for him. Hyunjoong’s eyes light up and wolfed down the food much to Hyejung’s delight. After eating, Hyejung lead him to Victoria’s room. He was amazed with how the room came out. A trellis of yellow and pink flower was painted near the baby’s crib while a field of lavender on the other side. The cabinets and changing table neatly installed and the baby’s toys were arranged on the play area. It was all carefully thought off and designed to delight the child.

“Wow! Hyejung-ah, I’m sure our little Vicky will love this. You are really amazing.” Hyunjoong exclaimed in awe.

“I really hope so Hyunjoong-ah. I want her to be happy and safe.  “Hyejung replied.

“I’m sure she will be a happy child. We will keep her safe. We’ll try to be the best parent for her. “Hyunjoong assured her.  Hyejung just smiled and kiss his cheeks in agreement.

“Hyejung-ah, would you like to visit your parents? We can stay for three days if you want?” Hyunjoong asked.

“Are you sure Hyunjoong-ah?” her eyes light up upon hearing his words. “I’ll call Bea and Junjin to ask if they would like to go with us. Would it be okay? I really miss them.”

 “Sure. Go call them and your parents. We’ll go there tomorrow morning. “He replied with a smile.

Hyejung called her parents immediately. They’re very excited and offered the family’s rest house so the two couple can have privacy. She then called Junjin and Bea and the couple agreed.  Hwangbo gave their address so they can meet up with them and convoy going to Jeolla. They head back to their room so Hyejung can pack her things while Hyunjoong take a rest. He’s still tired from the event and he need to prepare for tomorrow’s trip. When Hyejung finished preparing, it was already seven in the evening. She checked on Hyunjoong but he is still sleeping soundly. She didn’t wake him up but instead took her dinner and checked on her pets. Then at eight o clock she gently climbed to bed and snuggled to slumber with Hyunjoong.

Hyunjoong woke up with the alarm. Hyejung was still sleepy but just the thought that she’s coming home to her parents made her get off the bed.  They took turns in taking shower and both were finished when Beka informed them the Junjin and Bea arrived. They two couple ate breakfast, and then left for Jeolla. They arrived in Hwangbo’s rest house around eleven in the morning. Hyejung’s parents welcomed them and offered early lunch before they enjoy the beach.  Since the sun is still blazing at that time, both couple decided to take a nap after lunch. The rest house was two storeys- Junjin and Bea took

one of the rooms on the 2^nd floor and due to Hyejung’s condition, Hyunjoong decided to just take the room on the ground floor.  They head to their rooms and will meet to go for swim when the sunset.

Hyejung was getting dressed after taking a nap. Pulling out her summer dress and trying to slip on her strappy sandals, she let out a frustrated sigh which woke up Hyunjoong. He immediately sat up and asked her what’s wrong.

“I’m so stupid, I shouldn’t have brought this with me.” and threw in on the other side of the room.

Hyunjoong picked it up and let her sit at the bed. He kneeled before her and put on the sandals on her feet.

“I know this is your favorite. You wore this at the airport and on the press conference.” He told her while fastening the strap.

“But I’m having a hard time putting them on now. My feet are swollen and I can’t bend to fasten them.”  She shyly explained.

“Just tell me what to do Hyejung. I’m here for you. You’re not alone anymore.” And Hyunjoong stood up still smiling at her.” I’ll just take a shower then we’ll head to the beach. Just stay put.”

After ten minutes Hyunjoong was out. He just put on white chinos and a cut off pants. He looks so casual, far from the usual attire he wore. He then reached out for Hyejung’s hand and went out of their room.  Junjin and Bea were already by the beach, walking hand in hand while talking. Hyejung smiled and uttered.

“Just looking at them even from afar, I can sense how much they love each other.” She turned to Hyunjoong and told him “Let’s just sit by the lounging chair. Let’s not interrupt.”

Hyunjoong just chuckled and they sat in silence as they watched the sunset.  Both were in deep thought that they didn’t notice that the couple was already near them. Both were startled when their names were called.

“Ah, Hyunjoong-ah, let’s get the grills ready for dinner.” Junjin ordered. “Jagiya, stay here with Jungie. We’ll call you once dinner’s ready.” and dropped a kiss on his wife before pushing Hyunjoong back to the rest house.

Junjin and Hyunjoong were busy preparing the grill and the sangyumpsal for dinner. They were working in silence when they heard that distinct laugh of Hyejung. Hyunjoong stopped on what he’s doing and just watched the women who were just playing on the sand.

“You love her, do you?” Junjin asked.

 Hyunjoong was startled but answered immediately.  “Yes. “

Junjin smiled but asked again. “Good. But have you told her about it. Does she know how you feel?”

“I don’t want her to misunderstand that I’m just telling her what I feel because we’re having a baby. I want to woe her slowly and make her fall in love with me. “Hyunjoong explained with a sigh.

“Don’t you think it’s about time you tell her? You’ll never know how she feels unless you tell her first. I assure you, you’ll feel better and your life would be much easier“Junjin prodded.

“I’m not sure how she feels about me. I want her ever since the first night we were together but I’m not sure if she feels the same. “Hyunjoong confessed.

“Well, looking at how she looks at you, I can assure you Hyunjoong, Hyejung loves you. It’s just that you’re not saying anything so she’s not telling you anything too. You’re both too coward.  Take advantage of the time now." Junjin urged him.Then he walked towards him and took the plate he was holding. “Go and be with Hyejung, Hyunjoong. Tell my wife I’m asking for her."

Hyunjoong smiled and walk towards the women. He cleared his throat first to announce his presence and then told Bea that Junjin wants her to come to him. Bea smiled and left the couple. Hyunjoong stood closer to Hyejung and took her hands in his.

“Your hands are cold.” He started to break the awkwardness. Then he took them and rubbed it with his two hands. Hyejung smiled and they walked along the shore.

“Ahh.. Its feels so good to be here like this. Don’t you feel the same, Hyejung.” Hyunjoong asked as they walk hand in hand.

“I’m happy Hyunjoong. I’m feeling great.” Hyejung replied and squeezed his hand.

“It feels so happy to be just like this. Here with you, the sea and friends. I cannot ask for anything more.” Hyunjoong declared.

Hyejung looked at him and she saw the sincerity in his face. She smiled back at him and Hyunjoong released her hand. She shot him a questioning look but he just chuckled and then dropped his arm on her shoulder. Hyejung snuggled closer, took his free hand and they walk towards Junjin and Bea who’s already waving at them. Over dinner, they discuss the plans for the next day. Hyunjoong sat very close to Hyejung, assisting her every chance possible. Junjin and Bea even teased them that Hyejung can live without hands since Hyunjoong does everything for her. After dinner they head back to the rest house,the couples retreating to their rooms and call it a day.

Hyunjoong was done showering and already sitting on his side of the bed, waiting for Hyejung to finish. He was just flipping his manga book, wondering what’s taking her too long.  His head snapped when he heard the door open after twenty minutes. His jaw dropped when he saw Hyejung walking towards the bed.

“Uhmmm...I know it’s not a pretty sight but I don’t want to waste what your Omma gave me. “ Hyejung uttered her head down and gently climbed in the bed.

Hyunjoong just kept on staring at her. Hyejung was wearing a black satin and lace lingerie, the plunging neckline and slim fit emphasizing her pregnant but still sexy figure. He took a deep breath to steady his racing heart but when Hyejung’s thigh brushed his hand when she slip in beside him, he panicked and immediately get off the bed.

“Hyejung-ah, I’ll sleep in the couch tonight.” Hyunjoong uttered his voice raspy and never looking directly at Hyejung.

“I know I look like a whale. I’ll change if you’re not comfortable. Just stay here in our room.” Hyejung replied, her eyes glistening from unshed tears and gently get off the bed too.

“Hyejung!” Hyunjoong called which made her stopped. “Please, go back to bed."

“But you’re not going to sleep here if I’m like this." Hyejung react.

“I will sleep beside you. Just give me time to compose myself. “ Hyunjoong replied.

“You can’t even bare to look at me Hyunjoong. I look awful. I’ll just change back to my pajamas.” Hyejung answered.

 “Hyejung-ah, you don’t understand.” And he gently assisted her back to bed. “It’s not because you are awful or what. Believe me I’m only doing this for your sake.” And he kissed her on the forehead. Hyejung wrapped her arms around Hyunjoong’s neck, her head burrowed on his chest.

“Hyejung-ah, I’m hanging on a thread here. I have to go and take some fresh air." Hyunjoong hissed, his heart beating erratically. He gently extricates Hyejung’s arms but when he successfully removed them from his neck, she grabbed his face and captured his lips in a kiss. When they come up for air, Hyunjoong asked in a raspy voice…

“Are you sure about this Hyejung? I’m giving you a chance to change your mind.”

Hyejung nodded and pulled him for another kiss. She started to remove his shirt but his hand stopped her.

“Is this still okay? I mean are we not going to hurt Vicky? “He asked again. Hyejung shook her head and this time she already successfully removed his shirt and gently nipping his neck. Hyunjoong again stopped her, and uttered.

“This is not for one night only, Hyejung. This past month was torture. I don’t want you to feel pressured. No turning back, okay?"

“Aisssh! You talk too much.” Hyejung grumbled, pushed Hyunjoong towards the bed and straddled him. 

Hyunjoong wasn’t able to utter any coherent words after that because the sexy pregnant woman had her way with him. But of course, he happily, enthusiastically, willingly gives in to her.

Chapter14

The next day, Hyejung arrived early in her office to wait for the furniture that they ordered yesterday. She decided to have it delivered in her office and then her own crew will just transfer it to their place. She’s waiting for Kaye to arrived, she sent her to buy breakfast for them when she heard a knock. Hyejung rushed to open the door thinking it’s the delivery man. She was surprised to see a woman on the other side of the door.

“Hello, good morning. Welcome to Hwangbo Interiors.” She welcomed the guest. She was thinking hard since the woman looked familiar.

“Good morning. You’re Hwangbo Hyejung, right?” the woman asked, a scowl prominent on her pretty face.

“Yes. Is there anything I can do for you? “Hyejung replied with a smile.

“You don’t know who I ‘am?”  The woman asked again.

“I’m really sorry but I’m not good with names. I hope you won’t take it against me.” Still she retort with a smile.

“My name is Lee JaeKyung, Hyunjoong’s fiancée.” The woman introduced herself.

Hyejung was taken aback. She didn’t know what to do with this unexpected visit.

“Oh. I’m sorry if I didn’t recognize you immediately. Would you like to take a seat?” Hyejung offered.

“Let’s just cut the niceties okay. I’m not here to be your friend. I’m just here to remind you that Hyunjoong is mine. I want him back.” Jaekyung demanded.

“Ahh. I see. But shouldn’t you be saying that to Hyunjoong and not to me?” replied Hyejung.

“He’s only staying with you because of the baby. Don’t be fooled. In the end he’ll come back to me.” Jaekyung declared.

“Look, JaeKyungssi, you and Hyunjoong are over. He’s with us now. If he decides to come back to you, that’s gonna be his choice. But let me tell you, I don’t think he’s going to be changing his mind soon” Hyejung replied confidently.

“Just because you’re having a kid doesn’t mean he’s in love with you. He loved me first and even offered to marry me. I’m going to do everything to have him back. “Jaekyung fumed.

“Well, it’s up to you. Do whatever you want. The door’s right there Jaekyungssi. I don’t want to be rude but I really don’t have time for this. Goodbye.” And Hyejung went back to her office. She heard the door slammed as she took her seat. Hyejung took a deep breath to steady her racing heart. She began running her hands on her stomach and talk to her daughter.

“Vicky, are you okay in there? Aren’t you proud of Mommy? Mommy was so brave earlier, right? I’m sorry if you were disturbed by that woman. But don’t worry baby, Mommy’s here. No one’s gonna harm you. Just go to sleep now.”

Kaye rushed towards her with a bag of food in her hand. She was catching her breath from running.

“Hyejungssi, Hyejungssi, did you see her? How on earth did she find you?” Kaye frets.

“You mean Lee JaeKyung? Yes she was here. I don’t know how she found me but its okay” she answered nonchalantly trying hard to put on a brave front.

“Did she hurt you? Did she say anything against you? I shouldn’t have left you here alone.” Kaye kept on rattling.

“No she didn’t hurt me. She just reminded me that she’ll get Hyunjoong back. “Hyejung replied.

“What?!!! The nerve of that woman! I should have tripped her when I saw her on the hallway." Her secretary shrieked.

“Let’s not just waste our time over that woman. Let her think whatever she wants. All I care for now is my baby."And then she grabbed the bag and started eating.

“But, Hyejung, why don’t you just marry Hyunjoong?”  Kaye asked as they shared the meal.

“I don’t think having a baby is enough for us to get married. I want to marry someone who loves me.”  Hyejung answered.

“And you think he doesn’t?  “Kaye enquired.

Hyejung just nodded. “Maybe, Jaekyung’s right. He’s just staying because of the baby. “

“Oh Goodness! Don’t tell me you will believe that freak. Hyejungssi, how can you not feel that Hyunjoong loves you? I’m telling you. I can bet my one year salary that that man is madly in love with you.”

“I don’t want to think of anything else than Victoria. She is my priority and whether Hyunjoong loves me or not I will deal with that later.” Hyejung replied.

Kaye just nodded and began tidying up the table when they heard another knock. Kaye made a dash to the door and informed Hyejung that it’s the furniture delivery. She just double checks everything and signed the papers while Kaye called their crew. Hyejung head to her office and get her stuffs so she can leave.

“I’ll go now Kaye. Just don’t tell anyone about Jaekyung coming here, especially Hyunjoong. I don’t want him to worry. “

“Would you like me to drive for you?” Kaye offered.

“It’s okay. I called a cab. Don’t worry too much, mother.” And she hugged her before heading to the door.

“Okay. I’ll drop by to help you with Vicky’s room later. See you later Hyejung.”

“Later, Kaye. I’ll text you once I’m home “and she made her way out of the office.

The crew was already unloading the furniture when she arrived in their house. She went inside immediately and asked Beka to lead the crew in the baby’s bedroom. She just changed into comfortable clothes so she can supervise all the work. At around five in the afternoon, she told the crew to call it a day. Now the crib and the changing table were installed. She was able to hand paint dainty pink flowers on one side of the wall. The cabinets and the baby bathroom will be done tomorrow and they plan have everything set up by next week. Still a lot of work but she’s happy with the progress.

It was already eleven in the evening when Hyunjoong came back from an event. He gently opened their bedroom door so as not to wake Hyejung. He was surprised to see her sitting in the middle of the bed, reading pregnancy book, listening with her headset on, while happily eating doughnuts.

“Hey, how are you?” he greeted with a smile as he sat on the edge of the bed.

She didn’t even take her eyes off on what she’s reading. Thinking that she just didn’t hear him, he went to take a shower. Once done, he head back to her room to find her still in the same position. He gently climbed in the bed and sat beside her. Hyunjoong can sense that something’s wrong the way Hyejung just simply ignore him. Not knowing what to do, he just keeps on staring at her. After sometime, Hyejung removed her headset and went off the bed with the box of doughnut. When she came back, she just climbed back in,with her back facing Hyunjoong.

“Hyejung, are you okay? What’s wrong honey? “Hyunjoong asked after several minutes of silence. He moved closer to her and run his hand on her arms. 

“Hyunjoong, when you and Jaekyung were together, have you talked about having kids? “ Hyejung asked after taking a deep breath.

“Jaekyung knows that I love kids. I asked her if we can have kids right after getting married but she told me that we need to wait for at least two years. She’s still in the peak of her career and she also said that she wants for us to just enjoy our time together.” Hyunjoong explained.

“Is that the reason why you didn’t get back with her?” she asked again.

“No. Hyejung, I was not planning to marry her just because I want to have a child. I loved her." He countered.

“Then why didn’t you get back with her? Why did you break up?” Hyejung flared up.

“It just didn’t work out." He simply replied. “Hyejung-ah can we just drop this topic? It’s not getting anywhere.  It’s already late and the baby needs to sleep.” Hyunjoong affirmed.

“You know Hyunjoong; I can feel that you’re not exactly telling me the truth. You’re always dropping the talk when it comes to her. But fine. We will not discuss her anymore. I just want you to be honest and tell me if you want to have her back." Hyejung uttered and turned off the lamp on her side.

Hyunjoong was surprised with her sudden outburst. He didn’t know what triggered her mood and the need to talk about Jaekyung. Not wanting to aggravate the situation, he just let her be and will just talk to her when she cools down.

The next day, Hyejung woke up to find that she’s alone in the bed. She checked the clock and it was only eight in the morning. Then she remembered that it’s the day Hyunjoong will be leaving for the last leg of his album promotion. He’ll be away for another three days. Thinking that the man already left she got off the bed sulking and took a shower. When she was done she went to the kitchen to have breakfast.

The house is so quiet but she found a plate of omelet, sausage and toast on the table. Her glass of milk and orange juice also prepared. She called Beka but no response came.

“Good morning. “ Hyunjoong greeted trying to fix his shirt. It seems that he just came out of shower.

“Oh, Hyunjoong-ah, I thought you already left.” She replied still startled.

“I had shower here downstairs. I was just about to wake you up. Do you want anything else?” Hyunjoong asked as he took a chair in front of her.

“No. It’s enough. Where’s Beka?” Hyejung asked again.

“I asked her to take a day off. Omma will be coming over to help you today. I’m not comfortable leaving you alone.” He explained.

“I see. What time will you be leaving?” she replied.

“When you finished eating. Mr Jeong is just waiting downstairs. I cannot leave without talking to you and not after what happened last night.” Hyunjoong answered. 

“Hyejung-ah, I don’t know what happened yesterday but I want you to trust me. Jaekyung and I are over. You and Victoria are my family. Stop worrying, okay.” He assured her in a very gentle tone.

Hyejung just nodded, seeing how Hyunjoong was also affected with the bout the previous night. Then Hyunjoong stood up and went to their room to retrieve his bag. Hyejung was already on the living room when he came back.

“See me to the door?” Hyunjoong gently asked. Hyejung just timidly walked behind him. 

When he reached the door he faced Hyejung and get down on his knees.

“Baby, be good to your Mommy, okay? I’ll be away but it’s just for three days. After this event I’ll be spending more time with you. I will have present for you when I come home.”  And he stood up and opens the door.

“See you in three days, Hyejung. Take care.” And Hyunjoong took hold of her shoulder and drop a kiss on her lips. Hyejung just waved at him as she watched him walk away.

Three days have passed and now Hyunjoong was on his way back home. When he called to check on Hyejung, she told him that she’ll be home waiting for him. That made him more excited and asked the driver to speed up. As soon as the car stopped, he runs towards his house. He was surprised that the door was unlocked so he went straight to the living room and just dropping his bag by the door.

Hyejung was patiently waiting for Hyunjoong . He called earlier this morning to let her know that he’s already on his way home. She decided not to go to her office today so she can welcome him home. As soon as she finished talking to him she got off the bed and recalls the conversation she had when Hyunjoong’s mom visited her the day Hyunjoong left.

“Jungie-ah, I’ve been watching you all day. You seem to be worried. Is it about the baby’s room?”  Hyunjoong’s mom asked.

“No, Omma. I’m sure Victoria’s room will be ready even before Hyunjoong comes home.” She replied.

“Then what is it? You can tell me anything.” Her “mother –in-law” prodded.

“Omma, you’ve met Jaekyung right? She’s pretty, sexy and young. When Hyunjoong and her broke up where you disappointed? And now that I’m having your grandchild did you wish that it was Jaekyung instead of me?” she asked.

Hyunjoong’s mom took a seat beside her and replied. “Honestly, when they broke up I was relieved. When Hyunjoong introduced Jaekyung to us, I really didn’t like her. I don’t know what the reason is but I just really don’t. I just tried to accept her because I love my son. When he told us that they broke up I was hurt for Hyunjoong but relieved that he can have the chance to meet someone better. Now, it’s the complete opposite with you Jungie. I like you. Even before we met you, the way Hyunjoong described you to us, I got a feeling that you’re a good soul. It’s just a bonus and it sure is a blessing to us that you’re carrying Victoria.”

“Thank you Omma, for accepting me and Victoria.” Hyejung replied with a hug, touched with the elder woman’s sincere words.

“Jungie, tell me, what brought about that thought? What did Hyunjoong do?”  Her mom asked.

“Omma, Hyunjoong did nothing wrong. It’s just that sometimes; I feel that he only wants the baby. Sometimes I feel so insecure because I know I can never compete with Jaekyung.” Hyejung confessed half truth. She cant tell her about the confrontation with JaeKyung.

“Jungie-ah, forgive that stupid son of mine. He’s really not the expressive type. You know, you never need to compete with Jaekyung because you are far better than her.  Just be more patient with Hyunjoong.” Her omma explained.

“Omma, I want him to see me as a woman and not just Victoria’s mother.” Hyejung declared with a blush.

“Then do something!” Her mother-in-law exclaimed.  “You know, pregnant woman can be sexy too. All it takes is just a little dressing up or should I say dressing down and confidence.  I believe in you Hyejung . You got two more days to prepare so use it wisely." Hyunjoong’s mom encouraged.

“You really think I can outshine Jaekyung, Omma?” she asked again.

“Without a doubt, Hyejung!” the older woman confirmed.

And now, Hyejung cannot sit still as she waits for Hyunjoong. She keeps on fixing her dress and checking the time.

“You can do it Hyejung. Remember that Jaekyung is just the ex. You and Vicky are the present. Aja, Hyejung!” she tried cheering herself. And its seems like little Victoria knows her mother’s state that she gave a gentle kick. Hyejung laughed and feels so much better. Just as she began calming, she heard the door burst open and saw the man she’d been missing for days.

“Welcome back Hyunjoong-ah” she greeted.

Hyunjoong stood rooted in the middle of the living room. He just can’t believe the sight that welcomed him home.
