Hello guys! I had a great night with Joongbo sisters last Friday night for Hwangbo's birthday. And because of that, here's an update for all of you. Leave me some love, will you Honestly, it inspires me to update faster..lol..
Chapter 16
Hwangbo felt disappointed upon reading Hyunjoong’s note. She
thought that they can spend the day together. She decided to just take a shower
then head downstairs.
She reached the dining hall and a smiling Butler Sol greeted
her.
“Good morning, Hyejung-ssi. Happy birthday! We’ve prepared
your breakfast. Just take a seat.”
“Good morning Butler Sol. Thank you for the greeting. Would
you know what time Hyunjoong left?” she enquired.
“He left at around eight o clock. “ He simply answered.
Just then they heard honking of cars outside. She ran
towards the foyer and was delighted to see her friends.
“Hwangbo-yah!” Baek Boram, Song Unni, and Bongsun, hollered
as they ran towards her side. She met them on the steps and embraced each
member.
“Girls, thank you for coming over! I hope you’ll enjoy
today’s party.” Hyejung welcome them.
“This estate is really beautiful, Hwangbo-ya! You’re soooo
lucky!” Boram exclaimed.
“I’ll tour you around the estate later. For now let’s all
have breakfast.” And she asked them to head to the dining room.
They enjoyed eating breakfast in between nonstop chatting
and teasing. After their meal, Hwangbo toured them inside the main house. When
they reached her room, Song Eunnie asked.
“Hwangbo-yah, tell me honestly, are you and Hyunjoong
together now?”
“I’m not sure, Unnie.” Hwangbo replied sincerely.
“What do you mean? “ Boram seconded.
Hyejung sat on her bed while her friends eagerly wait for
her explanation.
“You all know that this estate belongs to us, right?” the
girls just nodded.
“Ever since then, he’d call me and we go out. We spend
weekends here. But, then there’s Myungsoo. He already confessed to me and
Hyunjoong knew about it. He said I can go out with Myungsoo and he’s going to
prove himself. But then when I did went out with the lawyer he kept on calling
me.” She narrated.
“I guess, he’s trying to test his opponent. But mind you,
Hyejung, Atty.Park is not bad. If you’re not interested in him, you can
introduce him to me.” Boram answered in a glimmer in her eyes.
“Yah,Baek Boram. You already have a boyfriend yet you’re
interested in Atty.Park.” Eunnie chastised Boram.
“Well, Im just saying that she can introduce him to me.”
Boram reasoned out.
“Don’t worry girls. I’ll introduce him later. I invited
him.” Hwangbo replied with a smile.
“Hyunjoong’s okay with that?” Eunie asked again.
“He said I can invite my friends. He’ll be okay with it.”
she assured them.
“Yah, what did Hyunjoong gave you?” Bongsun asked after
being silent and just looking around her room.
“He woke me up at exactly 12 midnight. He had a cake in his
hand and he was singing. He gave a bouquet after.” Hwangbo dreamily told them.
“That’s it? He didn’t even give you something expensive?”
Bongsun asked again.
“I don’t know if he will give me anything today. He made all
the arrangement for tonight’s party and that’s enough.” She defended Hyunjoong.
“And how did you thank him in return? “ Boram sleazily
asked.
“Yah, Yah!” she exclaimed with a blush.
“Hyejung-ah, should we prepare our gift for a godchild
soon?” Bongsun followed Boram’s teasing.
“Yah! Nothing happened to us...” she defended but the girls
gave her a “We don’t believe you” smirk.
“Okay okay. We kissed. That’s it. Nothing more.” She confessed.
“Even if you’re sharing a room?” Eunnie asked.
“We’re not sharing – it’s an adjoining room. He stays there
while I sleep here.” Hwangbo clarified.
“If that’s what you say.” And her friends just laughed at
her.
They all decided to tour the estate since they still have
some free time. They were almost out of the house when Butler Sol approached
them.
“Hyejung-ssi, I’m sorry but Hyunjoong-ssi told me not to let
you go out of the house. He doesn’t want you to spoil his surprise.” Butler Sol
gently ordered.
“Is that so?” she asked in dismay.
“Don’t worry; he prepared something for you in the
entertainment room. You and your friends can go there now.” The butler offered.
The girls head to the entertainment room and Hyejung
squealed in excitement when she saw a stack of DVD- all movies and series
starring her ideal guy- Kang Dong Won. She picked it up and saw a note
attached.
Buin,
“Hope you’ll have fun times with your friends. I know you’ll
be mad at me if I will not let you out of the house. But with him on my side, I
bet you’ll be very happy.”
Love,
Shillang
Hyejung and her friends started their marathon. They didn’t
notice the time passed and they were startled when they heard a knock.
“Hyejung-ssi. It’s time to prepare for the party.
Hyunjoong-ssi said that the party will start at seven.” A staff politely told
her.
“Oh, okay. Come on girls. We’ll continue this some other
time.” she told her friends and they all get ready for the party.
When Hyejung reached her room, she was surprised to see a
big box in her bed.
“This is just another gift for you. I can’t wait to see you
tonight.” Shillang.
She picked up the purple Venus cut dress and wears it. She
paired in with the purple stiletto shoes and clutch that was inside the box.
She was very pleased with everything. She put on a little make up then decided
to call Hyunjoong. She called him three
times but he was not answering. She was again disappointed but decided to just
wait for him to arrive.
Her friends knocked in her room and they all head out to the
gazebo where the party will be held. Strings of lights and paper cranes adorned
the area. A big and appetizing buffet was set on the side. There’s also a
string quartet playing soft music and a dj on standby.
“This is gonna be fun, Hyejung-ah!” Boram shrieked as she made
her way to the party tables.
Guests arrived one by one. Ahn Young-Mi came with Kim Shin
Yong followed by Shin Era and her husband. Her friends from Compassion came
too. Hyejung entertained her guest but she can’t help but worry that Hyunjoong
has not yet arrived. She was talking to Shin Era when she heard someone call
her- it was Park Myungsoo.
“Happy birthday Hyejung-ssi. You’re very lovely tonight.”
The lawyer greeted as he hand her a box and a bouquet of tulips.
“Thank you, Myungsoo-ssi. I’m glad you can come. Why didn’t
you bring your parents?” She amiably replied.
“Mom’s a bit under the weather and Dad stayed with her. They
just told me to invite you to our house sometime so they can give you their
gift.” Myungsoo explained.
“I hope your Mom will be okay soon. Send them my regards and
I’ll check if I can visit them sometime.” Hyejung replied. “Come and I’ll
introduce you to my friends.” And she walked towards the Muhan Girls’ table.
“Hey, girls, this is Atty Park Myungsoo. “ Hwangbo
introduced the lawyer to her friends. The girls introduced themselves and chat
with him as Hyejung entertained the other guest.
It’s almost two hours since the party started but Hyunjoong
still hasn't arrived. Hyejung started to feel dismayed but she tried to hide
it. Just then all the lights went off making her gasp. When the lights came
back she was surprised to see a big birthday cake in the centre of the table
and her mother smiling at her. Everybody started singing the birthday song as
she walked towards her cake and stood beside her mother. When the song finished
she closed her eyes as she made a wish and blew the candles. Just then she met a pair of eyes she’d been
waiting for the whole night. Hyunjoong was now standing beside her mother
smiling at her. She can’t help but walked towards him and wrapped him in her
arms.
“Happy birthday, Buin.” He whispered in her ears.
“I was worried about you. I was thinking you will not be
here to celebrate with me.” She confessed.
“How can that be, baby? I’ve been waiting and preparing for
this. I just wanted to surprise you.” He replied adoringly. Hyejung gently let
go and turn to her mom.
“Mom, thank you for coming. You said you’ll be going on
vacation and you can’t be with me. Thank you for still coming here.” And
Hyejung hugged her mother.
“I was not going on a vacation. Hyunjoong asked me to
surprise you. He fetched me this morning in Busan. You should thank him.” Her
mother replied with a smile.
Hyejung reached for Hyunjoong’s hand and squeezed it.
“Buin, I invited another guest tonight. I hope you wouldn’t mind.”
Hyunjoong said to her. Hyejung just smiled and Hyunjoong walked towards a table
to fetch his guest.
“Hyejung-ah, I invited my mother. She was so eager to meet
you again.” Hyunjoong introduced his mother.
“Happy birthday Hyejung-ssi. I requested Hyunjoong to take
me with him when he told me that you’re going to have a party.” Hyunjoong’s mother greeted her.
“Thank you for coming, Mrs.Kim. It’s so nice to see you
again. I hope you’ll stay here for the weekend.” Hyejung warmly replied.
“Your mother and mom will stay with us till the weekend.”
Hyunjoong answered.
“That’s great, Hyunjoong!” she exclaimed. “Mom come on, let’s
get your food. I’m sure you’re tired from the trip.” And she ushered her mother
and Hyunjoong’s on their table. The Muhan Girls’s and Hyejung’s friends dropped
by their table when they saw the elder women.
“Hyunjoong-ah, I invited Atty. Park. I hope you’re okay with
it.” Hyejung whispered while they were eating. Hyunjoong just nodded in understanding.
Atty Park watched as the two interact with each other. He can’t
help but felt hurt. He really likes Hyejung but he can see how close she is
with Hyunjoong. If she didn’t tell him before, he’ll assume that the two are
together. He needs to re assess his stand- whether he’ll give her up or
continue pursuing her. He decided to call it a night and just head home early.
He made his way to the couple’s table so he can bid goodbye.
“Hyejung-ssi, I’ll be heading home. I need to check on my
parents.” Atty Park politely informed.
“Thank you for coming Myungsoo-ssi. I hope you enjoyed the
party.” Hwangbo replied.
“It’s a fun party and I enjoyed meeting your friends. I hope
you enjoy the rest of your night. Hyunjoong-ssi I’ll go ahead.” Myungsoo retort.
Hyunjoong politely nodded and the lawyer head out of the estate.
It’s almost midnight when the party ended. All the guests
have left and the couple is now heading to their room. They just came from each
of their mother’s room after ensuring that both are settled comfortably.
Hyejung sat on her bed and removed her shoes. Hyunjoong sat
beside her and she scoots closer.
“Hyunjoong-ah, thank you for everything. For the surprise
earlier this morning, for the party, for making this day very special. I know you work hard for this and I really
appreciate everything.” Hyejung uttered sincerely.
“Anything to make you happy, Buin. I’ll do everything for
you.” Hyunjoong affectionately replied. He dropped a quick kiss on Hyejung’s
forehead and continued. “I regret not contacting you after our show four years
ago. And now that I have the chance I won’t let you slip away this time. I love
you, Hyejung.I hope you believe in me. I’m willing to wait for you.”
Hyejung said nothing but just wrapped her arms around him. When
she let go, she met his gaze, smiled and dropped a quick kiss on his lips.
“Shillang, I know you’re never a sucker for mushy words so I
won’t say a lot of things. I love you. I love you for the man that you are. I
cannot ask for anything more.” She replied with a smile.
Hyunjoong pulled and hugged her tighter.
“Go take a shower so we can sleep, Shillang.” Hyejung
ordered.
Hyunjoong nodded and head to his room. After about fifteen minutes, he
came back to said goodnight. Hyejung was wearing a pair of black lace teddies
and combing her hair on the. When she saw him she just smiled and took his
hand. Hyunjoong followed her in a daze not knowing what to say.
“Will you stay with me tonight, Shillang?” Hyejung asked as
she climbed on the bed.
Hyunjoong woke up from trance and replied with a smile. “You
never need to ask, Buin.”
The next morning, Hyunjoong opened his eyes as the bright
morning sun woke him up. He smiled as he felt warm breath on his neck and saw a
sleeping Hyejung on his arms. He showered kisses on her face and her bare shoulder
but she didn’t even budge.
“Guess I wore her out earlier.” He giggled.
Hyunjoong smiled and reached for something he secretly
stashed on the bedside table the night before. When he successfully got it he
gently put it in Hyejung’s arms – a beautiful Cartier bracelet.
