Surprise


It is white day today. A day where every girl in South Korea expects to receive gifts and special event from their boyfriends, husband or just a significant someone. But – not in my case. It’s not that I’m single- I am very much in love and committed to my boyfriend. We’ve been together for four years and I’m fairly happy. Yes, it’s a bit hard, given the fact that he’s one of the hottest stars (if not THE Hottest star) in Korea, girls flock around him and sometimes it gets irritating. However, my boyfriend always assures me that I’m his number one girl.

Now why am I not excited with white day? Well let me just say that with the four years that we’ve been in this relationship, we never celebrated White day together. He is always working on special occasion like this. He would just send me a bouquet of my favorite yellow roses, my favorite Thornton chocolates and our favorite wine. Not that I’m complaining but it’s been like that for the past years and most probably the same thing will happen today. It’s just that sometimes; we all want to feel a little bit more special on this lover’s day, right?

I woke up today with the ringing of my phone. I was not surprised to see that it’s him calling. I grabbed my phone and pick up his call.

“Shillang, good morning.”I sleepily answered his call.

“Happy white day, Buin. I love you.” He answered chirpily.

“I love you too. Are you going somewhere today, Shillang?” I asked as I tried to sit up on my bed.

“I’ll be having practice the whole day, and then I’ll drop at Ilsan later. Mom planned a special event in Jaksal so I need to help her out. Sorry if we can’t spend the day together.” My boyfriend replied.

“It’s okay. I’ll be in my Mom’s anyway. “I replied half hearted.

“I’ll just call you later, Buin. Take care on your way out.” He bid goodbye.

“You too, Shillang. Enjoy your day and say hi to Omma for me.” I replied and hung up the phone.

I started to prepare to go out. I took a shower and dressed up. After about an hour, I was already driving to my mother’s house. I rang on the bell and was surprised to be welcomed by my mother all dressed up.

“Jungie, Happy white day! Why are you here?” and mom let me in with a big smile on her face

“Omma, are you going somewhere? “ I asked.

“I prepared something for your father. He’ll be coming home soon.” She explained.

“Oh, I see. Can I stay here? Hyunjoong has to work today.” I replied sulking.

“My son-in-law is really hard working. I’m so happy that you have that kind of boyfriend, baby.” Mom told me as she gave me a slice of the cake she baked. “So what are your plans for today?” She continued.

“We don’t have any. He doesn’t have one and bet he’ll be home late.” I replied again.

“Do you really leave it all up to him? I mean should you make this day special for the hard working Hyunjoong?” Mom enquired.

“But Mom…” I was about to whine when she cut me.

“Hwangbo Hyejung, it’s not always guys job to do special events and surprise. We also have to give something back to them.” She reasoned out. “Now, you still have a few hours to prepare. Go and do something special for him.” And she even grabbed my hand and pushed me out of the house. All I can do was to stare at the door after my own mother shooed me away.

I was driving back home when I realize that my mother has a point. If my boyfriend’s so busy and cannot do a special event for me, then why not I prepare something for him? So I took the next turn, drive myself to the nearest mall to shop and buy some groceries.

It was eight in the evening when I heard the phone ring. I paused for a while to answer his call. Anyway I just need to light a candle and I’m done.

“Hello, Shillang. Where are you?” I asked with an impish grin.

“Im almost home, Buin. What about you? Still at your Mom’s” he asked back.

“I’m almost home too. Actually just around three minutes more. I’m walking towards the lift now.” I answered.

“Really? Then were almost the same. Say, I call you when I reached my place. We will have to open the door at exactly the same time, okay?” he dared.

“You’re weird Shillang but …Call” I exclaimed.

“Talk to you in a few minutes.” Then he hung up the phone.

I giggled as I hung up and waited for his call. I was counting the minutes and was startled when my phone rings.

“ Buin, I’m in front of my door now. How about you?” he asked.

“Me too.” I simply answered while walking towards the door and holding my breath.

“And we count...1, 2.3.” I heard him count. As soon as he finished I opened the door and shouted.

“Surprise!”

But wait..No one’s on the door and did he just say surprise? I was so confused and speechless. After a few seconds...

“Where are you?” we both said.

“I’m at your place!” we answered at the same time.

We were both silent again and then I uttered. “You said you had an event in Ilsan.”

“I wanted to surprise you. There’s no event and I just stayed in your place to wait for you. I wanted to prepare something special.” He sadly replied.

“So, what do we do now, I’m in your place, and you are in mine.” I asked a bit frustrated

“I’ll go get you. We checked what you have prepared for me then we’ll drive back to here? Is that okay?” he asked calmly.

“It’s okay. I’ll wait for then. I’m sorry, Shillang for ruining your surprise.” I replied warily.

He just chuckled and answered full of affection. “You didn’t ruin it Buin. You were only trying to surprise me too. Just stay there and wait for me, okay. I ll be there in a while.”

“I’ll wait for you. Take care on the road, love. See you soon.” And we hung up at the same time.

I then rushed towards the kitchen, checked the food I prepared. I also baked a heart shape cake earlier and its sitting in the centre of the dining table. I double check my clothes; I bought a simple black dress earlier and new strappy heels. My make up’s very minimal and I waited for him by the door with a glass of wine to welcome him. I texted him to ring the door and not use his key.

A few minutes after, I heard a faint rapt on the door and saw him on the intercom. I gently opened the door and said “Surprise!”

His smile almost blinded me, I snaked my free arm around him and whispered. “Happy white day, baby.”

He took the glass in my hand, drops it on a console and gently lifted me off my feet. He walked with me in his arms and gently let me down when we reached the dining room.

He checked the food on the table and asked with a grin. “Well, looks like you’ve been busy, Buin. Did you even bake that cake?”

I nodded and led him to one of the chair. He grabbed my hand and gently pulls me so I can sit on his lap. I swatted his arms and stood up. I took another chair and sat next to him. He pouted so I pecked a kiss on his lips and serves him food. That made him smile and we enjoy our simple dinner together.

After about thirty minutes, we were done eating and just resting in the living room. We were huddled together; he’s enjoying his wine while I feed him cake. After about thirty minutes we stood up together and left his place. When we reached my apartment, he told me to wait outside, give him five minutes then knock on my door. It made me laugh, sometimes we both can really be silly but I don’t care. We are in love and it makes us happy.

When I open the door, I was surprised, to see him standing in the middle of the living room, surrounded by balloons. He had a big bouquet of yellow roses and I carefully walked towards him.

“Happy white day Buin.” He greeted as he hand the bouquet to me.

“Thank you, Shillang.” I gladly replied.

He ushered me to the dining room and I saw the food he prepared. There’s pasta and chicken and even salad. There stood a bowl of strawberry and melted chocolate.

“Don’t worry, Buin. We don’t need to eat all that. I know you’re still full. I wrapped it up and freeze it. We can just reheat some of them tomorrow.” He consoles me when he saw the worried look on my face. I smiled at him and grabbed the bowl of strawberries and chocolates.

“We can share this, then.” I cheerfully said. He helped me out and we walked back to the living room.

We were already enjoying our chocolates and strawberries for some time when I suddenly asked him.

“Why are there so many balloons in here Shillang?”

He didn’t answer but just gave me a small box. My heart pounded. Could it be that he’s already proposing. I cannot contain my excitement so I hurriedly opened the box. My face fell when I saw what’s inside – A needle.

He chuckled as he carefully watched my reaction. He hugged me and then pulls me up from the couch.

“You can pop only five balloons, Buin. There are surprise waiting for you.” He instructed.

I carefully choose and pop the balloons, laughing at the prize indicated on each. And on the last balloon, I screamed and tears flowed when I saw the prize.

It’s the sunshine that woke me up today, the day after white day. I gently turned on my side, watching my gorgeous boyfriend sleeping peacefully. I gently dropped a kiss on his eyes, on his nose and then on his lips. I grabbed my robe on the duvet and made my way out the bedroom to prepare breakfast. On the way, I saw envelops on the console and I chuckled when I remember the surprised I receive. A gift certificate to my favorite spa, a copy of Hyunjoong’s cd, his DIY gift certificate to my favorite mall and an open plane ticket to Hongkong for the two of us.

Oh, and if you’re wondering what the last prize I got last night, let’s just say it sits comfortably now on my finger. A solitaire tiffany engagement ring. Yes, folks, I am now an engaged woman. My boyfriend of four years proposed to me on white day and the 1st time we celebrated together. Aint that the best surprise ever?

Home

“Just a few more minutes, few more minutes.” He keeps on mumbling as watched the road on the way home. He was sitting at the backseat of the company car and he leaned forward to the driver and asked.

“Hyung, can you speed up a bit?”

The driver just nodded and did as asked. Hyunjoong just kept on tapping the passport he’s holding on the headrest. He then checked on his phone for any message and then looked at his watch. He’s been really anxious to get home as soon as they arrived from his fan meet in Peru. The 22-hours red-eye flight was enough to make him long to stay in bed for days.  But other than that, there’s a far more important reason he wants to go home as soon as a possible.  It’s the angel that he’s been missing so much - Hwangbo Hyejung.

His thought drifted back to the night before his flight. He was watching her fix his luggage- a habit she acquired from their make-belief marriage. She was just wearing her favorite white racer back and one of his boxers. Her hair tied in a loose bun while her glasses almost fall off from her face.

“I’m going to be in New York when you will have your fan meet. Be nice to your fans, smile or wave at them especially in the airport. Remember that most of them waited for long hours just to see you. Do well in your event but don’t exhaust yourself too much. Don’t forget to eat and try to have enough sleep.”

He just nodded then whispered a soft “ Yes Mom”  so Hyejung just smirked at him. When she’s finally done she scooted next to him. Hyunjoong wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck.

“Hmmm… you really smell nice Buin.”And began showering kisses on her face.

“Tsk. I’m sweaty and I look like a trash like now yet you’re telling me I smell nice?” she retorted.

“I’m not kidding, Buin. I love your scent. I love holding you like this.” He replied sincerely and tightens his embrace. “Buin, can I have your shirt?” he then asked.

“Yah! You are pervy, Hyunjoong-ah. Let’s just go to sleep. You have an early flight tomorrow.” Hyejung answered with a gentle swat on his arms.

“I just want your shirt Jungie and nothing else. But you know if you want to start something, I’m very much willing.” Hyunjoong responded with a sleazy grin.

Hyejung huffed and took off her racer back. “Here I don’t know what you’re going to do with it but if I’ll get pneumonia tomorrow, I will blame you.”  And she walks straight to their bed.

Hyunjoong followed and laid beside her. He lifted her head and let it rest on his chest as Hyejung wrapped her arms around him.

“I’m gonna miss you, Buin. I wish you can come with me to Peru.” He murmured as he kissed her hair.

“You know that I’ve planned the New York event since last year. You know that I want to be with you but Compasssion already confirmed my participation. Just do well in your fan meet and I’ll wait for your return okay?” and she move up a bit to drop a kiss on Hyunjoong’s lips.

What started as an innocent kiss intensified and Hyunjoong can’t help but teased her when they let go to come up for air.

“And I thought you just wanted to sleep.”

Hyejung giggled then shyly buried her head on Hyunjoong’s chest.

Hyunjoong lifted her face so she can look at him then whispered. “Don’t worry about getting sick baby, coz I’m gonna keep you warm.”

Hyejung just laughed at his antics so Hyunjoong silenced her with a breath taking kiss…

“Hyunjoong-ssi, we’ve arrived.” The driver informed him, bringing him back to the present. Hyunjoong thanked the driver and made his way up to his apartment.  He punched in the code and as soon as he stepped inside he murmured. “She’s already here.”

He walked inside the apartment and walked towards the living room.  The room was illuminated by a single lampshade on the side of the couch.  He saw her lovely girlfriend sprawled on the couch. He watched her for a while, fascinated with the steady rise and fall of her chest as she breaths. He sat on the floor, gently ran his hands on her hair and whispered in her ear.

“I’m home”

Hyejung’s eyes flickered and when she met his gaze, a full blown smile lights up her face.

“You’re back. I miss you, Hyunjoong-ah” and she wrapped her arms on his neck before giving him a kiss. When the kiss ended Hyunjoong stood up, reached for her hand and made their way to their room while discarding their clothes.

A few hours after, the couple was sitting on their bed, Hyunjoong resting his back on the head board while Hyejung rest on his bared chest both too tired after that fiery reunion. Hyejung then decided to get off him but Hyunjoong pulled her back.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“I’m just going to get some fruits we can share.” She replied.

“No. Just stay here and be with me.” He uttered as he enveloped her in his embrace.

“I miss you so much, Hyejung. I miss your kiss, your laugh and your gaze. I miss holding your hands and waking up next to you. I miss the way you fit in my arms and your scent. It was just a few days but I really wished we never part.” Hyunjoong sincerely expressed.

“You know I really miss you too. I was able to watch a fancam of your event and that made me long for you more. No one can really compare to my handsome, sexy Shillang.” Hyejung replied as she showered kisses on Hyunjoong’s face.

Hyunjoog buried his nose on Hyejung’s neck and whispered “I love your smell, Buin-vanilla and lavender. It feels like spring every time I’m with you. I can picture clear blue skies while we sit in the garden. I wish I can bottle up your scent so I can take you with me wherever I go.”

Hyejung smiled at Hyunjoong’s sweet words. She pecked a kiss on his lips and playfully asked. 

“Then should we ask someone to create a “Hyejung” perfume for you?”

“I don’t think they can come up with the exact scent, Buin. Your scent is yours alone. They can come up with something close but they will just be 2^nd best. Only your scent can give me this wonderful feeling.”  He replied.

“What feeling would that be, Shillang?” she asked as they lay back in bed facing each other.

Hyunjoong smiled and answered. “That this is where I belong. That finally, I’m home.”

Hyejung’s can’t help but pulled him in her embrace. “I love you Shillang and yes this is where you should be. With me.”

“Sleep tight, Buin. I love you. It’s nice to be home.”

The next day she was preparing their lunch when Hyejung saw him pulling out the contents of his bag on the living room. She then noticed a white shirt with his other things. She moved closer and picked it up.

“This is mine, Hyunjoong-ah. Why is it in your bag? “She asked.

“I took it so I can have your scent even when were not together. You’re my favorite scent.” And smiled at her knowingly.

Few days after, he was on the plane back to Japan when he saw a black tank top secretly folded inside the pocket of his bag. When he took it out, he saw a note clipped to it.

“Since I can’t be there, keep this for the mean time. I will miss you and I’m already counting the days till you come back. I love you. Come home soon”
