Just like your Grandfather when he waited for me 40 years ago..." ... "Can you two please just get married, before this cancer takes me and brings me to your Granfather's place?" "Mother, I oppose this, Sulli deserves a marriage with love. Not like this. Of a ll people in the family, I thought you were the one who fully knew about this?" ... She whispered still closing her eyes, trying to hold back the tears. It hurt , really hurt... Both her heart and her pride..."He won't, Grandma... Until the day you're gone... It will never be me... God, why not me? Instead of her, why d on't you just take me?"

No, unnie I have the one I love And that scared little girl ran out the room, leaving the 2 Choi families stunne d, having no idea what happened. And there was a darkened Min Ho, together with a sigh from the old lady sitting at the corner of the room.

Grandma, this ain't a fairy tale 5 years ago December 9th. She was waiting outside. It was raining so hard. It was 11:30 pm, and he hadn't come back yet. She thought fast, grabbed her umbrella and ran down the street. The busses stopped by and went. Those lasted people at the bus stop soon left. She was left alone. Rain was still pouring. It was cold. But he hadn't shown up. Today was his birthday. But he hadn't shown up. He hadn't shown up for 3 months. Since the wedding, he hadn't come back. Seo Hyun wa s a very gorgeous bride. And that was all she knew about. She couldn't let herself come to the wedding. Was there anything more painful to come to that wedding? Seeing her beloved Seo Hyun unnie in the wedding, wore a white dress, walking do wn the aisle, hand in hand with the groom? No, she couldn't make it. And, moreover, how could see face her oppa? Yeah, how could her stand seeing him standing at a faraway corner, looking Seo H yun kissed by the groom that was not him. Yeah, the groom's name was not Choi Min Ho. It was Jung Yong Hwa. Seo Hyun and Min Ho were forced to break up, because her parents wanted her to g et married to her fianc that was engaged to her since they were born. Min Ho, her Min ho oppa was left behind after Seo Hyun left with her husband fpr US. It was an arranged marriage, and both of them did try struggle. No help. And since that day, Min Ho hadn't come back. His parents tried, Sulli's parents tried, they tried to help him. He said he need ed time to recover. He was not ready to go back. Ssul, is it you what are you doing here? A deep warm voice came into her wandering mind.

She lifted her head, seeing her oppa, totally wet. Tears started to flow down he r cheeks. Oppa I asked what are you doing here? Oppa, happy birthday She couldn't help it, she couldn't stand seeing him like this. Sor row was full in his eyes. Why do you have to wait here? For a guy like me? Oppa please, don't She cried, harder Her heart nearly stopped for the pain. "Don't tell me I'm the one, Ssul..." "Oppa..." "Sorry Ssul, but when she's gone, I don't think I can love anymore" Grandma, this ain't a fairy tale And I would give it a try. Try to forget him. Try to let him go. It was 5 years ago, when she was 17. -~ 1 month ago At the hospital. Can you two please just get married, before this cancer takes me and brings me to your Granfather's place? The only thing I want before I left this world is seei ng the two of you get married. Son, can you please accept my wish? Min Ho's father , can you please accept this old woman's last wish?Min Ho, will you please let me see the two of you walk down the aisle together? "Mother, I oppose this, Sulli deserves a marriage with love. Not like this. Of a ll people in the family, I thought you were the one who fully knew about this?" - Her son raised his voice after a long silence, his voice was shaking. The doc tor told him not to make his mother unpleased during her last time, but he could n't make his only daughter into misery, into a marriage like this. "Grandma, you know this right? He doesn't love me, he told me years ago..." - S he cried softly, stroking her grandmother's hand "Do you still you him, dear?" "Grandma, it's not a fairy tale, and I'm not a Princess, as in those tales you r ead every night, I'm not that little girl any more..." "He said he would try, dear..."

... She whispered still closing her eyes, trying to hold back the tears. It hurt , really hurt... Both her heart and her pride..."He won't, Grandma... Until the day you're gone... It will never be me... God, why not me? Instead of her, why don't you just take me?"

Min Ho was standing outside the door. What should I do? ... I'm not a Princess, this ain't a fairy tale... I'm not the one he sweep off her feet... Lift her up the stairs...

A prince, would he come with his white horse? CHAPTER 2 SPEAK NOW

She was sitting on a creamy white couch in the Bridal room. She was in her white Wedding Dress. The White Wedding Dress she adored while sta nding outside the Wedding Boutique that day.

Victoria unnie told her she was the most beautiful bri de that she'd ever seen. Krystal put the white pearl crown on her hair and said You'r e just like a Princess, believe me, you're so beautiful. Luna, while busily fixing h er bouquet and Amber, who taking photos of the 4 ladies around her said the same . Yeah, like a princess, but not a princess. Not at all. A princess should have a prince who rides on his white horse and come to propose her, right? In every fairy tales grandmother read for her, they all hava happy ending And they live happily ever after She was not a princess. She was not a little girl anymore. She closed her eyes. She had decided. She had buried her love for him deep insid e her heart. She knew if she let go of his hands, it could be painful, but it wo

rth. But now, what will happen next? 5 years, they remained brother and sister. 5 years, she tried not to take any move. 5 years, they were still together, but today, together had another meaning. Excuse me, Miss Sulli I mean, this is the last time, someone calls you Miss, from th e moment on, you will be Mrs. Choi. Congratulations on your Wedding day. Your fa ther is waiting outside.

Luna thumped up. Amber pouted, reminding her to smile. Krystal, her Maid of honor gave her the bridal bouquet. Rose. Pastel pink rose. She whispered Hey, Bride, don't hang that poker face on that beautiful e, I would slap your butt until you cry. There's no groom in this world to see this face from his Bride. You two have decided, and if you want, ill time for you to cancel the ceremony and run away. But once you take her's hand and come inside with him, please smile and be happy. Promise She didn't answer. She took a deep breath and nodded. Mr. Choi whispered Are you ready, dear? Shall we come in? The big door opened. Here came the Bride. face, or els who wants there's st your fat me, Ssul?

*Flashback* 3 weeks ago 8 pm. At the hospital. She slowly open her eyes, they were a little bit tired. Then she smiled, feeling the warmness on her hand. When did you come, boy? I thought you had left earlier? She said softly Grandma, how do you feel? Better? He answered, tighter his grip on her hand.

I'll go to see Sulli's grandpa and your grandparents soon, boy That thought makes me f eel better Grandma, please don't say that. Sulli won't be happy if she hears these words She weakly chuckled. That little girl? Sooner or later, I'll have to leave, and our Sulli will have to l earn how to move on without me As she learned how to move on without you The old la dy lifted up her hand to pinch at his nose. You're mad at me, aren't you? His voice condensed Why should I, my dear? For not taking care of Sulli, for for refusing her? He gulped She smiled, reaching out for his hands. Min Ho, I'm mad at you, yes, right Because you refused to come back to the old you, refused our help But it was long time ago. Now, you're back to the old Min Ho, the old cheerful and caring grandson of mine, why should I mad at you?... Sulli? I t aught her to believe in fairy tales, but I didn't teach her that fairy tales were fabricated by us, human And if she wants miracles happen, she would have to make it herself And I'm glad she learned from those what happened Life is not a fairy tal e. She learned it by herself and continued to move on So, why do you still want us to get married? He asked, still holding her hand Because I'm old, Min Ho And when people get old, they become silly. They still want to do something silly And as a silly old woman, I still want to keep my promise w ith my little granddaughter I don't want to leave her alone, I want to give her han ds to you. Silly, right? I guess What if this is a wrong decision? Then this is truly not a fairy tale, dear, this is life She smiled Sometimes in your life, it worth to give everything a little try To move on, and let your heart de cide *End of flashback* He was standing at the end of the aisle, and here she came, in her white wedding dress. She looked so beautiful. She was becoming his wife. What did he say? Wife. Be my wife, Sulli

*Flashback*

Don't worry oppa, I've talked to Grandma. She didn't say anything, but I think she won't mention it again Sulli softly smiled and turned her back at him I'm proposing to you, Choi Jin Ri He said boldly She turned around. Are we playing the game again, oppa? Who will get mad first for not standing the other doesn't answer? She laughed Will you marry me? . I have to go to the hospital, see you later oppa Her arm was kept by his. Strongly. We will get married, Ssul He said, firmly We won't, oppa. Don't push yourself because of my grandmother She doesn't want to leave without seeing you getting married, she want us to be tog ether. We are still together, as usual, we're always together since we were kids. Now we're still together, aren't we? Sulli said, opened her brown eyes and looked straight i nto his. Together as husband and wife, together as a couple, that's what she wishes Her last wish It's not, it's not her last wish Sulli started to tremble, her voice was shaking when M in Ho mention her grandmother last wish. Sulli, her last wish is to see us together, see the two of us get married He said s oftly Why do I have to do this? Why? Why, why do you have to marry me? Why? Sulli cried, she couldn't hold it anymore, her heart sank. She thought Grandma wants us to take care of each other, she wishes after she's gone, I'll be abl e to take care of you, I'll be able to bring her cheerful granddaughter back Min Ho said lovingly

She's dying, oppa She's dying Grandma is dying Sulli cried harder, tears flew down her lky face. She tried to deny it, deny that painful truth, but, truth is truth Her grandmother was on her very last time. She wished she could have more time with her, she would be stronger so that when her grandmother had gone, she wouldn't have to worry about her, she would have sm ile on heaven to see her granddaughter move on. Ssul, that's why she wants us to be together Min Ho hugged her, rubbing her back. What kind of marriage is this if I say yes? You don't want this, don't you? Laying her head on Min Ho's chest, Sulli cried her heart out.

Ssul, you have grown up with me. 5 years since that uhm that day, you're still here w ith me. I don't know what will happen nor will I be able to bring you happiness. B ut, for our Grandma, at least, shall we give it a try? And, as she told me Let th e hearts decide *End of flash back* Wedding ceremony. He took her hand, smiled at her. He didn't know if his smile was the same as the smile that Sulli once told him whe n they were young that The groom will stand at the end of the aisle, with his big silly happiest smile waiting for me He didn't know what this feeling was. Does he love her? Yes, he loves her. From the day they knew each other, he knew he loved her, as his sister, then as the most important person in his life. Even when he had Seo Hyun by his side. She was still there, she was still the owner of one of the very deep corner in his heart But, what is this love? How could he name this? What kind of love is this? His little sister? From now on, she would be his wife, his life's partner. And Let your hearts flow You'll find the answer soon, my dear Min Ho It's time for you t o move on, take her hands or not, it's still the right time for you to move on and find the answer for the question you asked me on that January night, two months before her 15th birthday I, Choi Min Ho, take you, Choi Jin Ri, to be my wife, to have and to hold from th is day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and i n health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow.

CHAPTER 3 BEGIN AGAIN

The ceremony ended up as the two of them rushed out to the hospital to bring the ir grandmother back there. Previously the two families planned to bring her to t

he ceremony, but because her health condition, the doctors didn't allow her to lea ve for the Wedding's place. But, their grandmother was always the strongest, at the very last moment, her da ily checkup unexpectedly showed up a miracle, all the results turned out to be p ositive. She could even sit up and had some soup, instead of those health supple ments they provided to her. And replying her insist to come to the Wedding, she was there, at the ceremony to witness her beloved grandchildren tie the knot. Although grandmother's health was better, the newlywed didn't have the urge to go on their honeymoon. They wanted to postpone it to the right time. Right time. In term of the right time, what would it be the right time for a couple to spend their honeymoon? Ssul, you should leave, today is your first day as a newlywed, dear Sulli's grandmoth er said, her smile was now more obvious as the oxygen machine had been taken awa y. I want to stay for a little while, Doctor Kim said your condition were better, bu t I still want to Sulli answered, using her nagging voice as always, she had just taken off her wedding gown, but the bouquet was still there with her. Min Ho, bring your bride back home, I don't want to see her anymore I thought once I let her get married, it would change. I would no longer be tagged along by her J ust bring her home, this old woman doesn't want to see your bride anymore Her grandm other cut her off, she turned her head to call for Min Ho, who was sitting near her bed smiling.

Grandma, you Sulli pouted, shaking her head Don't you love me anymore? Stop that, stop that you little cheesy girl, your aegyo now no longer has it effe ct on me You're now a married woman, stop doing that aegyo to me, I would find it ai goo cheesy Min Ho my dear, what should I do with you? You have to bear this girl f or the rest of your life, aigoo, just take her home Min Ho chuckled, he just stand up and smile at her. Ssul, let's go, grandma should rest He grabbed his wife's bag and the luggage which con tained the wedding gown. Sulli sighed, actually she was tired for the whole day at the ceremony, but the was something that make her heart and mind feel so heavy. If she left here, she would have to to back home with Min Ho. Home. Not the house she'd grown up. Not the house next to her parents', the house where Min Ho grew up. Not those two familiar houses. Home. Their home.

The newlywed would move to their new home, an apartment in the same neighborhood . And she was afraid when she was alone with him, as his wife. She was with him for the whole of her life, but from now on, as his wife. His wife. That word made her confused. There were a lot of things running through her mind now, it was mixed with anxiousness, nervousness and worrisome. Sulli stood up to kiss her grandmother's cheek, whispering Grandma, I'm leaving, I'll c ome to see you tomorrow Good night grandma, I love you We'll get going now Grandma, please sleep well, we'll come here tomorrow Min Ho bid his good bye. Aigoo, can you two just leave me one peace day for not seeing those two boring fa ces? Please enjoy your new life and let me enjoy my day, dear By the way, good ni ght, two of you Min Ho, it's late, drive carefully, my dear Grandmother sighed playfu lly, she just turned off the night light and closed her eyes, pretending to come to her dreamland. Sulli pouted, then she chuckled a bit and leave the room. Good night, grandma, sleep tight The two arrived at their apartment after 30 minutes driving. Sulli kept silent a ll the way home. She didn't know what to say. This feeling and this life were quit e new with her. It was too new that she couldn't figure out how she should face it . Min Ho glared at her all the time while he was driving, he intended to talk with her but seeing her turn her head towards the car window and stay quiet, he deci ded to leave her in her own world, he knew she needed time to think, just like h im, the night before the wedding, he stayed up for the whole night to think what he should say once they got home. Home. Their home. This definition was pure new to him. Min Ho pressed the 12 button in the elevator. Their apartment placed on the 12th floor. His right hand was keeping the luggage and the other hand previously was bring Sulli's bag, but when she got out of the car, she just took it back, that's w hy, now his left hand was empty. The elevator was on the 11th floor, and Min Ho thought fast, taking the move. He grabbed her hand, keep her soft hand in his. Sulli froze. 12th floor.

The elevator opened. They still stood there. Holding hand. The elevator closed. Min Ho turned his head to look at her, he smiled. We're already home, Ssul. You don't want to go out, huh? Sulli just starred at her oppa. Sulli just starred at her oppa now turned to be her husband. Let's go Min Ho tighter his grip and lead her out. Her mind was all messed up. Mixed emotion flooded up covering her. Before we come inside, I want to clear this first. This is our home, I said our O-U -R, you got it? Once you enter the house, you and I, we'll have to try our best to begin again. I can't promise you anything now, and still, I can't promise that I wo uldn't make you cry or make you smile, I can only promise one thing, that I'll try m y best to be together with you, and you have to promise me the same. Min Ho stopp ed after the click of the key, he stood still between the door and Sulli. Promise? He raised his eyes brows I Promise? I need your help She replied slowly, gulping and avoiding his look I cannot say anyt hing now, I need time oppa And I think I need your help He sat on the edge of her bed, placing her old Teddy bear beside her. Oppa You forgot your Teddy bear in the luggage Ssul, no wonder why until this late you haven't slept yet Thanks oppa Hey Teddy, Sorry, I forgot you, sorry She whispered to the bear, pouting . Min Ho chuckled Grandma told me the truth, you're now 22 and you're still like a kid, lady Then he lift up the bear a little bit Hey, Teddy, please be patience, ok? On the meantime, please stay here with her for me, I'll be in the next room, if Ssul has nightmare, please feel free to call me I'll promise there'll come a day I can re place your place Good night, Ssul Min Ho kissed her forehead softly, then left her room. Sulli closed her eyes

Her first night as his wife *Flashback* Until you are ready, we can stay like this, Ssul Just keep this room for you Until you're ready Until the two of us are ready Just begin again from now on *End of flash back* CHAPTER 4 STATE OF GRACE

She was walking down the street. His words were echoing in her mind It was almost 1 month since their wedding. Everyday Min Ho would drive her to th e publisher house where she worked as an editor for the children books field, th en he went to his office, and regularly in the afternoon, he came to fetch her a nd together they went visit grandmother at the hospital. Sulli was a stubborn girl, as her grandmother said before. Although she said she needed Min Ho's help but she would never ask him for giving her his hand. Actually, she always had the thought of filing for divorce right after the event that she was scared most happened once her grandmother passed away. Was it unfortunately or fortunately for her here? Her grandmother had just been discharged from the hospital 1 week ago. The docto r told their family that this was a miracle, not anyone who was at her last stag e of cancer could reverse the checkup result like this, her condition was much b etter than they could imagine. They allowed her to stay home under medical contr ol and special care. And today, she has come to visit her two grandchildren who got married not a lon g time ago. And As she told Min Ho previously I'm gonna stay at your place tonight Sulli was stunned hearing that. 1 month being his wife, she always kept that dis tance with him. If today grandmother stayed, it meant they had to behave as a tru ly couple in front of her, of course not like what happened in the kitchen momen t ago

*Flashback* She tried to reach out for the dished on the high shelf but she could only touch the edge of them. Sighed. Why, why, why? I'm 169 meters tall, why didn't it just make it 1 more cm? Sulli grumbl ed to herself, pouting and jumping like a helpless kid. Because that 1 cm was intently given to me by God, Ssul A deep warm voice whispered behind her. Then she could obviously felt the warm body of Min Ho closed to her back. Crashed. She didn't know how to move. Min Ho just reached for the dished, then gave it to her without moving afar. Wae? You don't want to cook dinner for me and grandma? He smiled widely, teasing her ? Ssul She turned around, finding her way to move but her head bumped onto his chest. H e suppressed his laugh, Min Ho loved teasing her since they were kids. He knew w henever he got close to her from behind she always had that react and her head e nded up landing onto his chest. Yeah, always but not that always, there was the time when she grew so fast, just in 6 months, she was much more taller, and at t hat time, when she was watering grandma's white roses, he came She got stunned, the n turned around immediately and ended up bumping her lips on his. That time she grew up so fast. That was her 14th birthday. You're always like that Ssul, why don't you just tell oppa to move first, then after I step back you can easily move?...

I I that stop standing behind me Her voice trembled, something flew up in her stomach a wave of the feeling that she had buried deep for a long time ago was back fro m nowhere, and it scared her She struggled to move from the kitchen counter and Min Ho, and while trembling d own, she accidently pushed the dishes on the counter away. Those dishes slipped down to the floor. The crashing sound of the broken dishes on the floor made her jumped in scare. That sound turned Min Ho's caring mode on, he immediately gulped down and pulled S ulli towards him for protecting her from the dangerous broken parts. And Crashed.

Again. Those two innocent lips had their chance to meet, again. Her brown eyes widen in shock. Sorry, dear, I don't intend to interrupt you two Their grandmother said flatly, and s lowly left the kitchen without saying any word. Sulli was so back off. She pushed away Min Ho, who was now also got frozen. He starred at her. Mixed emotions covered his mind. Gosh, what's just happened?... Did did we just He thought Sulli fight her confusion for a moment then succeeded bowed down on the floor to clean up the broken dishes. Ahhh She hissed out a moan, a sharp broken part cut her hand. Min Ho frightened seeing blood bleeding on her ring finger. He crushed down and took her hand Kwenchana? It's bleeding, does it hurt? To his surprise, Sulli pulled her hand back and just said I'm ok Anger filled up his messy mind from the accident kiss with her refusion. He just took her hand again and kept it tight, then checked up for the wounded f inger's condition. She pulled away again but this time, she wouldn't succeed, because he gripped it t oughly and with an angry and serious glint in his eyes, he snapped Stay still, yo ur finger was cut, and it was bleeding badly Stubborn pulling, again.But this time it was much more weaker Stop that Choi Jin Ri, you know me, I won't let go what I am focus on I said I was ok She low down her voice, looking away for avoiding eye contact with him I said it wasn't My wife's ring finger was wounded, and she doesn't know about this fact about ring finger. People say married couple choose to wear their rings on that finger because only it has the veins which go back directly to the heart withou t any more round through the body And now, I don't want my wife's heart gets hurt any more Min Ho gently said while checking up and taking care of Sulli's wound.

And, again. Out of his expectation, Sulli suddenly cried after her watery eyes. Tears fell down on her cheeks.

And she didn't why she hadn't hold it back as always, she just let them go It made he r easier to breath, to breath out those pains she kept in her heart for a long t ime She thought if she didn't cry, she might not be able to breath Hard. Min Ho just saw her cried and he moved closer to wrap his wife in his arms It's ok Ssul you said you needed my help, but you never spoke out to ask for my help You stubborn giant baby Oppa's here If you want me to help you, just tell me just ca ll me and say Oppa, I need your help And I'll always be there for you, giving you my hand Ok, just cry, as much as you want Wound needs antiseptic substance, and tears will be the antiseptic substance for your hurt heart and pride I'm sorry, too, Ssu l

*End of flashback* CHAPTER 5 FIRST LOVE

Min Ho bid his good night to grandmother and closed the door. The door of the room he had used as his room since their wedding. The room Sulli was using was actually their newlywed room, but he let her stay there on her ow n, until she he and they were all ready for the real marriage. He said he would help Sulli to get on with this marriage, but honestly to say, h e himself didn't have that confidence. Whenever he tried to get closer, Sulli would step back. Whenever he tried to touch her, he felt like he didn't have the right to move clos er. He once hurt her heart and her pride, did he have that right to become her husba nd, a true husband, even though their marriage was just an arranged one? Stopping at the room door, he nervously knocked on it. Ne, oppa Sulli was sitting at the edge of her bed. Originally, it was their bed. Yeah, their bed. She smiled quietly, but trying not to meet his eyes. She was anxious, he knew it, and he felt the urge to chuckle.

She was so cute. His little sister. The little friend of his. And now, his wife. He raised up the popcorn pack Wanna try an overnight chit chat Ssul? Then he poute d cutely Actually I love the S'more things better, but how can we We cannot leave gr andma here alone and sneak out to the garden on top of the building, rite? She couldn't help but giggled. It was so long ago for him to see her happy and cheerful smile. He sighed and stepped closer. How is your injury? Does it hurt you anymore? He kneed down, taking her hand Ani oppa, it was alright She smiled weakly, hesitating to keep her hand in his, she didn't want to feel this way, but looking at his caring face and the warm way he checked up her finger, her heart melted down The wall she built to protect hersel f melted down They were half laying half sitting on the bed, playfully eating the popcorn Min Ho brought with him. I had been a long time for them to be together and talked like this. Talking like tomorrow would never come if they stayed like this, side by side. Sulli laughed at Min Ho story, about how Onew oppa stunned at her close friend, her bride maid Luna appeared from the changing room. She knew Onew oppa had a cr ush on Luna, but he would never admit it. Min Ho told her his Onew hyung is a si lly guy, just because previously he said he was attracted to the older women - t he noona more than those girls who were younger than him, so he didn't know how to face Luna. You know what, his first love was a noona who was 6 years older than us. She is v ery pretty and yeah, sexy They even dated for 3 months, but then, they decided to remain close friend And years later, he met Luna when she came to your house on your birthday party Aish, that guy, his condition whenever he saw Luna Onew sangta eng Min Ho laughed while picking some popcorn. His hand touched hers. She pulled out. Smiled. Together. How about your first love, oppa? Sulli blurted out, starring at her Teddy bear Mine? Min Ho asked back, his voice was in deep thought

Oh Was it about Seo Hyun unnie? She was a very cheerful girl A truly bubbling girl Min Ho voice was like he had just back to the past. I'm sorry for asking, oppa She sometimes wanted to be alone than playing with me She was avoiding guys for the very first time, because she was a shy girl, but on ce you get to know her, she would reveal her cheerful and sweet side Sulli silently listening, she thought He must miss unnie so much How about yours, Ssul? Mine? Oh, yours He, he was a dorky guy Sulli started to speak out after a long pause Oh Min Ho replied flatly He was a very funny boy, though he always said he was a boring one, but I find it so funny and cool She always frankly pointed out her thought A very transparent girl He once said that I'm his favorite little friend When asked which of his part in her face that made her proud of most, she only sa id that none of them I had chance to have a duet with him She said if she had to choose, she would choose food than guy Min Ho chuckled He even introduced me to a guy Hee Chul hyung introduced you a guy?- Min Ho turned his head to look at Sulli She just laugh. He always think that he and me We are brother and sister Did he know you like him? Min Ho asked in curious How did you confess to unnie, oppa? It's your first time right? It might be very ha rd You're a shy tall guy, grandma always nagged about that The serious voice of Sulli turned into a laughter I never confessed to her it was just Suddenly Sulli didn't want to hear more, she was afraid that she couldn't stand it Sh e was scolding herself for stupidly asking about his first love I'm sleepy oppa, can we sleep now?...

Oh, ok Just sleep He reached out to turn off the light They were now under the warm cover, laying side by side. Sulli changed her posit ion and her legs touched his. I'm sorry oppa For what? For touching my legs? Ani, for asking about your first love Sighed. Rain was pouring outside the window. Heavy rain. Just like that night, when she went out to find him. Sulli could hear the strong sound of the blowing wind. Min Ho stayed silent for a while, then he suddenly moved and pulled Sulli closer for for a hug. He wrapped his arms around her warm body, patting softly on her back Thank you Ssul, for being there for me all the time My first love, she Good night, oppa Sulli whispered Ok good night, Ssul Rain kept on pouring all night They couldn't sleep Why didn't tell Hee Chul hyung she liked him?... Hee Chul hyung must be very specia l to her He even didn't confessed, but they still started dating and being together Their lov e must be very special Next morning, Min Ho had a very important seminar to join, he left the bed early , smiling at the sleepy Sulli beside him. This girl is always like this He smiled

Is that important Min Ho, dear? You should have breakfast before leaving Grandmothe r asked him when he came to say good morning to her in the other room. Just today grandma, I'll grab something to eat before arriving at the office I'll get going now... See you this afternoon grandma I see, and, stop that aegyo You two, whenever wanting to pleading for something, y ou always use that trick to me remember to have your breakfast Grandmother waved he r right hand, signaling him to go Min Ho chuckled. Ne, Grandma, I'm leaving He went to the elevator and to his surprise, he heard Sulli called him from behi nd, with his jacket on her hand. He turned around. Oppa, you forgot your jacket And here I've prepared the sandwich for you last night I know you would skip your breakfast Sulli said in her hard breath for rushing out o f their flat. Min Ho starred at her. Little sister? No, his wife. He smiled. I will eat this Thank you, Ssul Ok, have a good seminar She smiled back and turned around. Ssul! Ne?... Blushed. He caught her armed and leaned for a kiss on her cheeks Thanks, Ssul I'll come home early today We have a gathering with those 4 annoying couples, remember? Bye, Ssul Pip. *Message from Jong Hyun hyung* Min Ho, guess whom I met on the flight back from US today? She's back CHAPTER 6 SHE'S BACK.

Hey, Sulli, you know what? You're smiling to yourself all the morning, since you st epped in the office entrance, that silly smile of yours has been hanging on this blushing face What makes our new bride so happy like this, huh? Victoria, her sen ior colleague at the publishing house asked, glancing at Sulli who was on the dr iver seat Ne?... Sulli asked back in a happy voice without aware that she was still keeping the smile on her lips. See? Krystal, I told you I smell something mushy here Look at her and her silly smi le Ewww Choi Jin Ri, our new bride, what happened last night? Huh? Amber yelled out , pulling a tugging Krystal's jacket. Luna giggled at the Krytal, who was narrowing her eyes towards Sulli. The 5 of them, Sulli, Victoria, y school in the suburb of Seoul king in the same team which was for children. And today, after an to come to one of the school school board and especially the Krystal, Amber and Luna were heading to a primar for their company new project. The five were wor focus on building and developing education books 1 week of the project launching, they had the pl that it worked on to get some feedback from the students.

Victoria drove them and soon after everyone was settled up in their street, the girls started to blow up about Sulli's behavior lately. Mwo ya? Me what? Sulli starled at her friends' comments.

Look at her Ya Choi Jin Ri, show me your ears Let's me see them Krystal leaned forward to pull her over her

Ya, Jung Soo Jung, let me go Nothing to do with my ears Ya Soo Jung, ah ah Sulli trie to pull back but failed, she was kept by Krystal hands and one other hand from Amber Hey, girls, I'm driving, be careful, don't push her too much Victoria snapped, but ever yone could feel the giddy mode in her voice See, Vic unnie? Her ears, her ears are all red Hahaha, I told ya She is hiding some thing Ya, Ssul Tell me, last night, what happened? Yesterday afternoon, when Min H o oppa came to pick you up, we didn't see this smiling face, and now How about the blushing here and there and the hiding red ears, huh? Tell me, right now! Krystal raised her voice, looking at Sulli with her crossing arm. Nothing Sulli answered with a low voice Ssul Luna softly called her name. I told ya nothing Sulli nim, wae yo? Amber pleaded. Victoria giggled, she pretended to focus on the road. Choi Jin Ri! This time was Krystal's turn, she blurted out in a half threatening hal f soothing voice.

Last night, grandma stayed at our place - Sulli gave up to them, giant baby would n ever win her 4 sisters. So what Grandma stayed Nothing that valuable to men- Amber said flatly while rolling her eyes Then suddenly, without completing the sentence she cut of herself with a squeal. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa, Choi Jin Ri, it means... Grandma read fairy tales for her every night but she would never sleep with her n or the other people And... Their house only have 2 rooms... - Luna whispered, trying to suppress her e xcitement. And... Min Ho couldn't sleep on the sofa unless he wanted grandma to know they we re sleeping separately... - Amber shook her head And... They slept together last night... Hell yeah, sleeping together in their ne wlywed room... - Krystal yelled out Good job, girls, I love your inference... - Victoria laughed Oh... ...my... ...... God...... Choi Jin Ri!!!!!!! - The 3 girls yelled between Victoria's laugh... "Ani... We just... just..." - Sulli blushed, she kept on shaking her head, tryin g to came down the girls who were in their best giddy mode ever... Ya Did you guys??? Did what? So, kisses? Ani Min Ho is such a coward Amber said, folding her arms Ya Wae? So you guys did it without kissing? Yaaaaaa, Luna. We didn't So what? Huh? Choi Jin Ri Anything else? Krystal asked in her cocky way Just Just what? Hugging Sulli whispered desperately Mwo? Only hug?

Uhm Sooner or later, girl Krystal rolled her eyes, smirking ... After half and hour torturing and asking Sulli, the girls arrived at the primary school. Even when they were out of the car and came to see the School principal, the oth ers kept on teasing Sulli about last night, making her even didn't want to, but le t herself flow on that giddy feeling She smiled. His hug was so warm. And she was sleeping all night in those arms of his. Blushing. Here is the class with the new teacher, she has just come back from the US and st arting from today she will be the former teacher, and as a new comer, we think y ou can help and consult her about the new project The principal politely guided th em to the class on the 3rd floor. Knock. Knock. Knock. Ne, please come in The teacher opened the door. Sulli smiled. Then. Broken. Something had just broken inside her. Her heart sank. The wound on her finger suddenly made her feel its pain. Did it because the vein s had stopped working, couldn't they go back directly to her heart anymore? Krystal yelped out in shock. Amber jumped, making Luna gasped. Only Victoria, the oldest and most thoughtful could hold her calm Seo Hyunnie? Sulli? That sweet warm voice called her back from the darken world.

-~ Min Ho was sitting on the floor. He felt like everything was just yesterday Everything He had been like this the whole day, since he received Jong Hyun's message. She's back Those words kept lingering in his mind, whenever he closed his eyes those words would appear She's back Why did she come back like this? 5 years. Nothing from her. He didn't know anything about her. She cut all of their connecti on. She said she wanted to leave him and didn't want to hurt him, that's why she jus t disappeared like she had never existed in this world, in his life. But now, why did she come back? When he had just got married with Sulli. Those thought torturing his brain. Then suddenly Ssul How can I tell her Should I tell her Ssul what should I do with her? Sulli felt like she could never stand still if Krystal didn't hold her hand and gr ipped it tight She slowly stepped out of the elevator,. She walked with her blank mind *Flashback* Unnie, you're back Really? Yeah, Ssul I don't even plan it, just go back Silly, right? How are you? She hesitated I miss you, Ssul Unnie is sorry for not contacting you in such a long time 5 years, you are now grown up, Ssul How about about your husband? My husband? Ne, unnie What about that ring on your hand my little sis? You are already engaged? Or . mar ried? Seo Hyun smiled

This?... This Rite? Ne unnie Actually, Ssul We has divorced for 1 month And that's the reason for my coming back *End of flashback* Sulli opened the door, she felt like she couldn't breathe, everything just happene d so fast, so sudden that she couldn't know how to handle it She was so scared Min Ho oppa How can I tell him? Oppa, Seo Hyun unnie is back She's back Then she saw him there, sitting on the floor Something stabbed her heart Why did it look like that old Min Ho, the old Min Ho who was full of sorrow and pain 5 years ago?... She blinked to flow that feeling away Oppa, why didn't you turned on the light? She asked Ssul?... Grandma called me, she said she wanted to go home and my father came to take her home before we are back from work She came closer, looking at him She did call me I know She looked at him. Oppa what should I do, please, oppa, what should I do? Sulli whispered to herself Ssul, what happened? You look pale? Min Ho looked up, worry was in his eyes Sulli didn't answer, she took a deep breath, then went to the kitchen, leaving Min Ho behind. Confused. Wanna have some beer, oppa? She smiled brightly, shaking some beer bottles on her hands Beer? Min Ho's eyes were widen.

Yeah, wanna try some It's been a long time I didn't drink Sulli said and sat down on th floor with him, she brought a bottle in front of him, swung it playfully Ya, when did my giant baby started drinking? Min Ho got the bottle from her, smirk ing I've even stayed overnight at Krystal's place and got drunk like a kitten on my 20th birthday You don't know me, Victoria unnie calls me Master.. Haha

She laughed, hoping that when she got drunk, she could have that brave to tell h im, though the only thing she wanted now was just blurting it out and ran away f rom him, but there was something inside pulled her back and told her to sat with him, be with him She just couldn't help it. She might want to avoid him, but it was because of her pride and her fear of get ting hurt again. But now, Seo Hyun unnie was here. Oppa, what should I do? How can I tell you? How about me? How about us? She quietl y looked at him, trailing down his features His face Oppa Huh? Hee Chul oppa told me that I was a silly girl He knows you well, giant baby You don't know that truth? Min Ho smirked, leaning her head forwards. For never express my feeling Nope, you're a quite a transparent little girl I can even see through you without lo oking at your face I know what is in this little brain of yours Min Ho replied She pouted - Really? Am I that obvious? Haha, right When that boy, remember him? The boy who always waited for you every m orning and went after you to school Aww, I couldn't remember his name but when he s aid he liked you, you didn't say anything but ran to grandma's garden You watered tho se white roses Haha, whenever a guy got close to you, you didn't say anything, but watered the roses Haha Ya oppa, you are now revealing all of my side? Sulli slapped his arms Ssul, how can I tell you, she's back What should I do? What should I do with you? Ho w about me? How about us? He looked at her laughing, realizing how he missed the way she threw back her head and laugh like a kid like this. They kept on talking, sometimes about the nonsense things they hadn't talk for a l ong time, Sulli kept on yelling whenever he teased her and reminding of their ch ildhood. After 2 hours, they were both drunk, laughing and talking like two real drinking buddies. Sulli leaned her head on his shoulder, smiling. My head is so heavy now, oppa I think if we want to continue, we should take some water before I end up sleeping on the floor Haha, the party hasn't ended yet, right ? She was about to stand up when she felt a strong grip on her arm Wae.. Sulli turned her head

He was looked at her, those sorrow things in his eyes They hurt her looking him like this. She slowly reached out her hand hesitating then it touched his face Oppa He hold her hand, but didn't say anything Oppa Don't look at me with those sorrowful eyes It hurt it hurt me seeing you this way he whispered Can we stay like this for a moment, Ssul She looked at him, nodding Then after a long starring at each other, he leaned forward for crashing his lips on hers And Her tears flew as she answered his kissed Their lips meet and begin to move together smoothly Min Ho hands moved touching her face then her skin She moans softly at the sensation and continues to kiss Min Ho before he trailed down to her neck She felt his pain And this time If she could, she would give all of her to take that pain away He begins to slide his hands take off her blouse Their hands begin to explore each other Sulli kissed him back as her hands continued bravely to unbutton his shirt Minho attaches their lips together again in a heat. Then before she noticed it,. Min Ho pulled her up and as they continued their we t kisses, they reached for her room No, actually it was theirs. Between the kisses, Sulli could felt her back was now already on the bed, with M in Ho hovering above her Her hands tangled up in his hair. Sulli never thought that she would enjoy this as much as she did. Oppa, I'm yours tonight She whispered as she tried to hold back her tears Yeah, no matter what happen tomorrow, tonight, she decided to be his Min Ho stopped for a while then he looked at her with his gentle eyes.

And when she pulled him down for another kiss, he didn't hesitate to remove the re st of their clothing. Sulli braved herself for what was coming next. She closed her eyes Min Ho looked at her face when he slowly slided inside her He caressed her cheeks She smiled as she knew he was looking at her and took a deep breath. She felt the pain and bit her lips, wishing it could fade away Min Ho noticed it and he kissed her for head while continued to move in and out gently, he didn't want to hurt her both her body and her soul Sulli felt a mixture of pleasure and pain yet, she still wanted him to continue. I'm yours oppa really- She whispered sweetly Min Ho laid beside her Caressing her bare milky skin She's back My Ssul is back Then slowly, he dripped off into his sleep with Sulli in his arms Morning. He walked out of the bed without her beside His head had a bad headache I drank too much last night Then he found a notice note on the table. Oppa, she's back Seo Hyun unnie is back CHAPTER 7 FEAR

Oppa She's back Seo Hyun unnie is back Min Ho starred at the yellow paper note in his hand. The headache was soon fadin g away leaving him with an obvious fear. How can she know this? He stunned, his mind became chaos. Her handwriting was plump and soft like a butterfly's flapping wings. All of a sud

den he remembered about her letter written to him on his 16th birthday. Her hand writing didn't change much since that day, 9 years passed, but now, he realized sh e wasn't that Sulli anymore. She had grown up. And during those 9 years that pure Sulli was still there for him.

Oppa, Sulli's here Hehehe Happy birthday oppa <3 Today is your birthday, and I'm so so much happy for that. I don't have anything for you, you know, because I am still at the hospital, docto rs said the treatment must be intense therefore I couldn't leave this room to cele brate with you. So, Jin Ri is here, close to your heart, Jin Ri is always be there for you, this is the only give I can give you this year. Happy birthday, oppa <3 P/S: Mom told me not to tell you, but oppa I've just had my first period And Grandma said I'm not a baby girl any more, I'm grown up Hehe I just can't help it, I just want to tell you Jin Ri is grown up, now Jin Ri can be with you, rite?...

He chuckled at that memory, how pure she was, even telling him about her first p eriod. That event must be very important in a woman's life. The day she truly beco mes growing up, the day was marked as a new page in her life. Last night. Min Ho looked back at the bed. Last night. They spent the night together. Their first night. Sulli's first night. He sat down at the edge of the bed, the yellow paper note on his hand. Last nigh t, he admitted that they were affected by the alcohol from those beer bottles, b ut he also had to admit that the feeling in his heart was for real. I wasn't about the hormone and that mediocre passionate. He knew it was about something else. Sulli had given everything to him. Since she was a little girl who was on her very first time of becoming a woman. And last night, she truly became a woman.

His woman. His dizzy mind remembered how her tears flew down when she said Oppa, take me, I'm yours She avoided him. She didn't told him that she would give him up but she her silence inform him that she had let go of his hand for a long time ago. He wanted to work their marriage out, but whenever to take a closer move, she wo uld immediately step back. He had just had the thought that she was back, his Ss ul was back when he saw that love in her eyes, when he felt her lips and her bod y, he thought she was back, he thought finally they could make it, they could be gin again. Now he realized the reason. He realized why in her eyes he could see that sorrow , why he could feel that she was struggling with kind pain when embracing her in his arms. He didn't know how hard it was for her, giving her everything to him while her hea rt was suffering. Ssul She's back Seo Hyun is back But what should I do?

Both of them were aware of it, of what happened, of their first night, but Sulli's attitude prevented Min Ho from taking his chance to sit down and have a talk wi th her. She would never mention about it, her behavior was like there was nothing happen ed that night. They were on their way back home after coming to his home to join a family dinne r on his mother's birthday. Today he could see her smile, but it didn't last long. T he noona who lived next to his house were invited and when the desserts were ser ved, she happily declared that she was 2 months pregnant and because of her busy work, she didn't even notice it. He glanced at Sulli and he saw her smile, but su ddenly that smile faded away as Hee Sun noona and his mother talked about the pe rformances would appear being pregnant. Did it remind her of that night? Did it hurt her?...

She kept starring outside the car window, trying to avoid his glancing. Ssul, can we talk? He hesitated but decided to start first. I'm sleepy oppa, can we talk later? She closed her eyes and turn away her head, not wanting to make him upset. She knew she would never play this game forever, she couldn't hide away from him forever, but she had no bravery to talk about that, ta lk about Seo Hyun unnie with him. What would he say? What would he do?

Lately, he came home late, she could only hear his foot step when she was alread y on her bed, under her warm cover, trying to embrace his fading scent lingering here and there from that day. And it hurt her more than anything realizing that scent was fading away day by day without him in the room, on the bed, beside he r. Did he meet Seo Hyun unnie? Did they meet? Then when they arrived at the parking lot, Min Ho immediately went after his wif e who was walking so fast towards theelevator like she wanted to run away from h im. Ssul, we need to talk He grabbed her arms Oppa, later Ssul shrugged his hand, keeping on running No, Ssul WE NEED TO TALK! Suddenly he yelled She stopped, but violently shrugging his hands, still turned her back to him, he r right hand raised up to cover her mouth, standing behind her, he could see how fragile she was, how desperate she was to face all of this. Their marriage. That night. Seo Hyun's comeback. And him. She was trembling, her shoulders shook. Ssul, that night No, Min Ho, not that, you can talk about that later, now you have to clear all the thing about Seo Hyun first. Ssul, I saw your paper note that morning He said while came closer to her. Ssul Seo Hyun She We He came and placed his hands on her shoulders We Don't touch me, oppa Ssul Then suddenly she turned around to face him and yelled. I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ME! Ssul

He was stunned at her reaction, she didn't cry as he thought, but her eyes all red . She looked so pale. Like she was suffering from something painful. Truly painful. Physically painful. She was struggling. And he remembered lately he woke up and saw her getting out of their bathroom wi th this pale face. He remembered she refused her mother's favorite foods preparing for her. He remembered how she acted weirdly these days. He remembered how her hands shook when she saw someone taking medicines. He remember how she got pale in the day. All those things. Very familiar. And he got scared by that thought. Those things were really familiar, the same Sulli who was on her first days on t he treatment at the hospital back in those years when she was 14. Looking into her eyes he could only see that. She started crying and shrugging his grip. Let me go, just let me go, don't say anything, let me go I just want to go up Let me go Ssul It It is it back? That sickness, is it back? He whispered, fear and puzzling fi lled up his voice. Then. Suddenly. Sulli? Is it you? Min Ho? That voice. Seo Hyun. Oppa, I have to go up, I have to go up now And his wife, she ran away. CHAPTER 8 MAMA DO

Min Ho? That voice. That voice raised up as if it was coming back from somewhere in the past, it pul led him desperately to that night, the night she called him out to Key's coffee sh op and told him she was going to get married. That night e said she t arranged be able to she told him both of them had nothing to do but to give it all up. Sh didn't want him to suffer from her family. She said if she accepted tha marriage, she said if she accepted her fianc Jung Yong Hwa, she would save her father's business.

Together with him, she had struggled a lot, she even planned to run away with hi m to a place where nobody can find them. But when her mother revealed the very r eason behind all of the arrangement, she knew, she was the only thing she could do for her parents. And she told him to break up with her. Break up. He never confessed to her. But there they were, hands in hands, together as a co uple for 2 years. And she said, break up. Then she'd gone. He didn't and he couldn't, yeah, blame her. For everything. For appearing in his life. For taking his hand and growing up to be the one who took that place in his hear t. For making his heart skip a beat and forgetting that corner which always had its owner, that secret owner. For making him forget to find the answer for the question he had asked Grandma 7 years ago. For letting him experience what the love was. For saying Let's break up and gone. For making him to say No Ssul, please, don't tell me I'm the one And now, for coming back and appearing in front of him like this. This voice made him realize that his heart was still She ran out of the elevator and rushed into their bathroom, she felt like she co

uldn't breathe, this feeling, it scared her. She tried to deny it, she tried to deny that these days, those things happened o nly because she was exhausted, because she was suffering from her own fear and t hought. No. It was back over again and again. It made her suffer from night to day. It made her woke up with a trembling body and sometimes that pain made her wake up at the midnight, and ended up crying un til drifted off to sleep. It made her get that feeling from her stomach whenever seeing someone taking medicine. It made her have no appetite at all even though the food her mother cooked was her most favorite one. It made her to wake up ea rly every morning and rush out to the bathroom to throw up everything she had th e previous dinner. And now, again, she ended up in the bathroom, vomited everything she had at Min Ho's mother birthday dinner. That uneasy wave brimmed over and writhed one by one through her body, making he r want to shrink up on the cold floor. Please, please, please don't I couldn't stand it It hurt She cried quietly. Alone. They met, now they met, in front of me Oppa and Seo Hyun unnie, now they met, or t hey even met each other before? Sulli was walking in the lobby after coming back from a walk outside. She had cr ied so long in the bathroom and in the middle of the vomiting struggle, the only thing she needed was fresh air. She wandered around in the dark park, trying to make up her mind, trying to not thing about Min Ho and Seo Hyun, about the poss ible things they might talk about. But what should she do? Their marriage. Her husband, Min Ho oppa. Seo Hyun unnie. Herself. She took a deep breath, entering the inside lobby which leaded to her resident a partment in the building. And what she saw at that moment made the vomiting urge inside her stomach brim u p again. But this time, it went together with a dizzy feeling, her eyes and the view became blurry Min Ho was standing there. His husband was standing there.

And Seo Hyun, in his arms, hugging him back. She was about to collapse, that feeling made her legs become weak, she knew the tears were there, waiting to brim out anytime, but she didn't know why she couldn't move at all. And she stood there, starring at them, struggling with her feeling. Until Min Ho lift up his head, and saw her. His eyes widened in shock. And she ran, ran out of the lobby, trying to get out of Min Ho voice calling aft er her back, get out of Seo Hyun footsteps furiously rushing behind her. Ssul? Why do you come this late? What happened? Did you cry? Ssul?... You looked so pale Are you sick? Ssul Why are Krystal squealed in scare. Ssul, Ssul Amber unnie, help me! HELP ME, HELP ME! SULLI, SULLI, WAKE UP! She didn't know how she did it, but yeah, she grabbed a taxi and ended up collapse d in front of Krystal's door, and soon fall into unconsciousness. Min Ho tried to run after her but he missed the chance to catch her taxi, he cal led her many times but there was no answer. Please, Sulli, please, answer me, please, we need to talk! *Flashback* I'm sorry for not contacting you, Sulli and the others for that long, 5 years, such a long time, right? She smiled softly Is it true that now you're divorced? He asked in his deep voice Uhm, not so long ago Weird, rite? But how did you know? Jong Hyun hyung and Key told me I guess so She smiled Can I ask why? I remembered he told me to keep you by his side and never let go o f your hands? She looked at him quietly, smiling, her eyes were a little bit watery, but she d idn't cry. Just because You have the reason to marry him, but you have no reason to leave him? That's why I told you it's weird, rite? And talking about you I'm married.

I know With Sulli He starred at her, he thought he could but no, he couldn't see what was in her eye s at that moment How can you know that? Your rings, Min Ho, those two are the same Have she told you that we met on the fi rst day I came back? Yeas, she has. But, Hyun, this is your first time seeing my ring How can you know they are the same? You're still the same, very smart, no way to trick on you Ok, stop starring at me like I'm an alien The same, Key and Jong Hyun oppa told me He kept his silence, quietly looked at her smiling. And I came to see you, both of you Stop that Choi Min ho, don't interrupt me, this t ime, you should listen to me, no matter what reason I came back, the point here is I know you guys got married. And I came to take to you back Seo Hyun He got stunned

to get you back to Sulli She laughed a bit and continued I knew you two, too stubbo n and always making yourselves confused and suffer from those stupid and complic ated fear Key told me everything, and as your ex- girlfriend, and now, your frien d, if you admit it, I want to help And moreover, Min Ho ah, not about my marriage , it's my own choice, I'm sorry for making you suffer and leaving you behind, but al so Min Ho ah, thank you, thank you for coming back to your true self, and for com ing back to Sulli Then she hugged him, patting softly on his back. It's soon be alright, Min Ho I know her, you know her She's still confused, please be p atient to her, giving her more time *End of flashback* Choi Jin Ri, tell me, what is this? Tell me! Stop crying, this time I won't never l et it go! Don't you dare to cry in front of me, and damn it! Tell me, right now, w hat is this? Krystal yelled out, her whole body was trembling. Soo Jung, calm down, she's suffered enough Victoria patted Sulli back, trying to comf orting her Ssul, this time, no matter what the reason is, I think I'm with Krystal! Amber lower ed down her voice, se looked at Sulli with the paper on her hand. It was an ultrasound checkup result. Why do you have to go through all of this alone? Why? Choi Jin Ri? Why do you hav

e to hide it to all of us here? Why? Don't you think we're your friends, your sister s anymore? You're just too cruel! This is unfair, with yourself, with us, with Min Ho and with your own baby! Choi Jin Ri Krystal cried, trying so hard to finished h er last sentence. Please, Soo Jung, please, please don't Don't tell him about this Don't tell him about I a m being pregnant Don't tell him about this about the baby about our baby It's not like t his I promise you, when the right time come, I'll settle up all, but now, I beg you , Victoria unnie, Amber unnie, Luna unnie, I beg you Don't tell him that I'm having h is baby Sulli cried. Krystal cried. Both of them cried. *Flashback* She softly opened the coffee shop back door, wanting to give Key's her surprised g ift on his birthday, but she stopped, hearing someone inside. So, tell me, Seo Hyun, it was all the reason of your divorce? That was Key's voice Uhm Don't lie to me, you know me, Seo Joo Hyun! I told you I know there was another reason Because I was forced to marry, and now I was forced to divorce, too And Because I had a miscarriage 4 years ago, then the doctor told me that I could nev er have baby again. Never. I will never have the chance to give birth to any bab y anymore. My husband hid it all from my in- laws, but 3 months ago, after a lon g time waiting for their grandchildren, they found out everything. And you know the reason why I'm here Your husband didn't do anything? Yes, he did! But I signed it without his awareness and flied back without letting him know I don't want to make Yong Hwa oppa suffer because of me I don't want him to fight back his parents because of me, Key! *End of flashback* Mrs. Choi? Ah, ne I'm here Congratulations, your baby is now 5 weeks old Please be careful during this sensit ive stage, but I'm please to inform you that you and your baby are both very healt hy. Congratulations again, I bet that the baby's father would be very happy hearin g this, rite?

 Baby ah, what should I do? Omma sorry, but what should omma do? CHAPTER 9 MINE

It was 12 o'clock and he was still sitting on the sofa, starring at nowhere. His cell phone was in his hand. His mind was burning. Ssul What should I do with you? What should I do with us? I have the support from everyone Even Seo Hyun They told me, she told me, I needed to give you some more t ime, but what should I do with you? Because you're the only one who can move on an d decides But you're also too stubborn Ring ring Min Ho oppa? Krys? Is she with you? Min Ho kept the phone tight with all of his cold fingers, t rying to breathe and hold his hope that she was with someone, not alone somewher e crying. She will stay at my place tonight, don't worry oppa, she wants me to tell you that she's ok, she understands what happened And Damn it, I don't even know that the hell i s going on with you two, but now, that stubborn girl needs time to clear up her mind And I tell you, oppa, I'm with you, this time, I'm with you! Thanks, Krys Did she sleep? Min Ho asked, remembering how pale Sulli was Only 10 minutes ago Don't worry oppa, tomorrow we'll drive her home I'm hang up now No, Krys, I'll come to fetch her, please take care of her tonight Ok, oppa, I think you need to take a nap too Everything is gonna be alright Krystal sighed, she felt so sorry for him. She was trying so hard to control herself not to blurt out the truth, the truth about his wife Choi Jin Ri was hiding somethi ng from him, the truth that no matter how much she loved him, she was too scared of revealing that she was having his baby. He was going to be a father. Sulli woke up because of the noise outside, her eyes were so puffed up for cryin g all night, but fortunately, she hadn't been tortured by the vomiting urge. Thank you, baby, I'm so tired today, you know that, rite? Be good to omma, ok? I ca n't stand that morning sickness anymore Thank you for being good to me, Omma loves you too She whispered softly, caressing her belly. Smiling bittersweetly, Sulli couldn't describe her feelings at this moment. She wa

s having baby, she was going to be a mother soon, but she was hiding her baby, a ni, their baby from its father. That night. She didn't aware that only one night, she could be pregnant for only one night. Sh e didn't say that her baby was unexpected, but this time, right at this time, the fact that she was pregnant made her so scared. She thought she was not ready. To be a mother? No. To tell him about the baby. And to receive his reaction from hearing it. He was going to be a father. What would he say? What would he do? Seo Hyun unnie was here. And above all, she was divorced for not being able to give birth. But she was. She was pregnant. What should he do if he knew about the reason for Seo Hyun unnie's misery marriage and the truth that his wife was pregnant? She didn't want to confuse him. She didn't want to hurt him. Ssul Have you woken up yet? Heyyyyyy Come out!!!!!!! Guess who is here!!!!!! Amber s uddenly opened Krystal's room door, she happily rushed in to pull her from the bed and ragged her out to the living room. Amber unnie, slow it down Who's that? Sulli asked, she had no idea about who would sh ow up on this early morning. Is it Min Ho oppa? She quietly thought Yaaaaa, Amber Liu! What are you doing with her? Be careful, don't rag her like that She's Luna squealed while furiously coming over to Sulli's side, but immediately bit h er lips to stop herself receiving a meaningful glare from Victoria. Hey, kiddo! You've grown up so fast! A familiar cheerful voice came into her mind, she got stunned. That voice. She turned her round to see a very happy and familiar face. Hee Chul oppa! Yes, right, kiddo!

When did you come back? She asked, still dazzed because of his sudden appearance. Yesterday, and I think my little kiddos here would miss me so much so I came He smi led, using his trademark words. Wae? I have already received the greetings from these four girls. Now, your turn, Choi Jin Ri, don't you want to give your oppa a welcome back hug, do you? He smile d widely, opening his arms. Oppa, how could you survive from those years? Sulli hugged him back, so happy that she now could meet her oppa again. Oopsss, lady Africa is a good place to take adventure, I've met so many people and e xperienced things that those ones who stayed here and got married without my acc eptance could never imagine He patted her back then pulled out by her shoulders to looked at her as if he wanted to check her up from head to toes. She smiled weakly You know that, too, oppa? Hee Chul laughed, hugging her again. Then out of nowhere, they heard a deep voice behind. Hee Chul hyung? Sulli turned her head towards the voice, it made her felt a sting at her heart. Min Ho oppa?... He looked at her with his big round eyes, many thought ran through his mind at t hat moment. A monster inside him roared angrily, the only thing he wanted to do now was to grab her and rag her out from Hee Chul hyung, his wife's first love. What what are you doing here, oppa? Sulli quietly asked with her low voice, avoidin g his eyes. To bring you home He answered, his voice became husky as he tried to control the fe eling inside him. Bro, seems like after getting married you don't know how to have a proper greetings to an elder, huh? Hee Chul asked, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the tw o and the starring from the other girls in the living room. Hyung I'm sorry When did you come back? How have you been? Min Ho awkwardly replied hi s hyung without withdraw his starring from Sulli. Ya, you two, what is going on? The newlywed was fighting, huh? Soo Jung, tell me, how long have you guys been suffering from these two? Hee Chul rolled his eyes, waving at Krystal, who was standing at the corner of the room, folding her arms. Oppa Just ignore them, especially Choi Jin Ri Krystal flatly said, going towards the door to open it as she heard the doorbell rang. Krys Krys Come with me, my cousin Seo Hyun noona, she is at the hospital now, they have just called me, her parents are still in Paris Come with me to the hospital, they said her neighbor rushed her there when they found her collapsed at the lo bby I don't Tae Min immerged from the entrance, loudly called for his girlfriend, the

y've been dated for 3 years. Then he stopped immediately seeing a lot of people in his girlfriend's apartment, then he jumped in shock seeing Min Ho and Sulli. What what why why are these two here? He murmured, looked around questioningly. I'll go with you first, Tae Min oppa Vic unnie, cook something for Hee Chul oppa, an d Min Ho oppa, bring your wife home I think you guys need to talk Kaja oppa Krystal g rabbed her jacket without hesitating to go with her boyfriend, signaling Min Ho that now she gave Sulli back under his care. Oppa, you should go with them Sulli said softly. Krystal looked back in her opened mouth, her face turned red, she might control herself so hard not to hop in and yell at her bestie. I can go home by myself You should go to check on unnie She looked up at him, smilin g. Why should I, Ssul? He asked back, didn't reveal any emotion on his face and in his voice. Just go to the hospital, I think you should go, so just go to herI'm fine now Sulli sm iled weakly then turned around to go back to Krystal room. Do you think that if you tell me to go, so I have to go? You should Sulli continued to go to the room without looking back but before she re ached out the door to open it, her arms were grabbed by his and then before she could understand what was going on, she was already in the room with Min ho and the closed door behind. Why do I have to go to the hospital with Seo Hyun while you're here and you're ill, t oo, Choi Jin Ri? He asked, looking straight into her eyes. She got stunned by his reaction, but soon gulped down to avoid those two fierce eyes. Why do you have to push me away like that? Why do you have to make yourself suffe r? Why don't you think about yourself just only for once? Oppa Why don't you just think about my feeling for just once? He blurted out uncontrollab ly Why do you always push me to the other girl without looking back at his reaction and considering about my own thought? She couldn't say anything. That sickness was brimming over again from her stomach, her head felt that dizzi ness again. Then a wave of unbreathing took control of her. She thought she couldn't breathe.

She put her one hand on her mouth, trying to control the vomiting urge and tryin g not to cry. Baby, please, please, not now Omma cannot stand it anymore Don't do this in front of Daddy Baby please, not now Sulli whispered desparately Why do you have to make us like this? Why? Are you happy torturing me? Are you? Mi n Ho continued, slightly realized something happened with his wife. Oppa, please, please, let me go Let me go I need to go out She pleaded, tears started flowing down her pale cheeks. Until you answer all of my questions, why? Min Ho hold her shoulders, gripping the m toughly DON'T YOU THINK IT IS EASY TO LET YOU GO? DON'T YOU THINK IT IS EASY FOR LETTING YOU GO TO ANOTHER WOMAN? DON'T YOU THINK IT IS EASY FOR ME? Suddenly she yelled out between her sops, holding her chest with both of her han ds. SO WHY DO YOU ALWAYS BEHAVE LIKE I'M A BAD GUY, I;M THE ONE THAT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO HOLD OU BACK? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUSH YOUR HUSBAND AWAY? CHOI JIN RI WHY ARE YOU SO STUBBORN? YOUR MINE, MINE BUT YOU NEVER LET ME GET CLOSE TO YOU! He yelled back Answer me, why? Why do you have to hurt yourself? To hurt me like this? Please, please let me go She whispered desperately Min Ho looked at his wife's face, it wAs so pale, it looked like she now couldn't br eathe. Please, oppa, please It hurts I'm I'm sorry but Then. She fell down on the floor, with a shocking and scared Min Ho there. Sulli Sulli What happened? Wake up, wake up, Ssul!!!! He hadn't come. She was sitting there on the patient bed, starring outside the window. She was in the hospital 3 days. The doctors kept her there because she fainted 2 times in 2 days during her preg nancy. And they both wanted to reassure that it would be better for the mother a nd the baby if she was well taking care under their control. She was alone in her room, her grandmother had just left. She laid back down on the bed Her tears stared to brim over remembering what her beloved grandmother had said.

He hadn't come, 3 days He hadn't come to meet her. After waking up from the conscious ness, she hadn't seen him. He might hate her. For hiding the baby away from him. For everything. Then, she heard the door opened. She slowly turned her head towards it and saw him there, coming into the room. His face was emotionless. He didn't even look at her. He walked towards the chair beside her bed and sat down, ignoring her starr. Oppa She was trying so hard to hold back her tears. He didn't answer her. He just stood there and starred down on his hands. Oppa She whispered between the long silence. I don't come here to talk to you He said, without looking back at her. I come to talk to my baby Her tears flew down quietly. I come to say sorry to the baby Baby, Daddy is here, I'm so sorry for not come to see you earlier. Daddy is sorry for not knowing that you're here, existing in this world. I'm such a bad father, right? Daddy is sorry for hiding my feeling from my first love and for not telling her how much I love her. Daddy is sorry for being that coward who always made her think that I and her, w e're only brother and sister. Daddy is sorry for getting married without telling my first love that because of my stupid fear, I once let her go, but I should have been more bravery to take her hand,m again. Daddy is sorry for spending the first night with her without telling her that ho w much I love her and want her to be mine. Daddy is sorry for making her suffer. Daddy is even more sorry because you're here, with her, but Daddy didn't even notice it.

You might hate me so much, don't you? Because when Mommy cried, I wasn't there for her. You're the only one who can feel h er pain and see her tears. Because when Mommy needs me there with you and her, I'm not there Daddy is sorry, baby ah Sorry for everything You're all mine, but I can't even know how to protect you from those hurt and pain. I don't even know how to face you, baby ah Please be good to Mommy, ok? Please be good to her, now, you're with her, please take care of her, because I'm a bad Daddy And I didn't make it I'm sorry, baby ah Then he stood up and walked away. As the same way as he came in. Without looking at her. Then. Oppa, please don't go A soft yet teary voice called after him. His wife's voice. CHAPTER 10 CLOSER

Oppa, please don't go She cried calling after him. He just stood there.

*Flashback* You are Mr. Choi? Ne, I'm her husband, please tell me, what happened with her? Did her sickness come back? He asked breathlessly, feeling like he no longer controlled himself from th at desperation. You didn't know anything? Do you? The doctor looked up at him questioningly What do you mean?...

Then suddenly the emergency room opened, a nurse came out, sighing Doctor Kim, it is alright now, the mother and her baby are all safe, they're in good condition n ow This is what I mean Mr. Choi Baby? He got stunned hearing that word, his heart sank. Your wife is 5- week pregnant, she didn't tell you about it? He was standing there in the patient room of her, starring at her pale face and closing eyes. She was still sleeping. We're sorry for hiding it from you, Min Ho Victoria said softly, guilty in her voice. He didn't answer the four of them, he just kept starring at his wife. Krystal came closer, tugging his jacket's sleeve Oppa, it's not about her, it's all our fault, no matter what she wants us to hide, we should tell you about her pregna ncy, about your baby I'm sorry for bringing you in this mess She cried He just turned to looked at Krystal with his sorrowful eyes, patting softly on h er head and walked out of the room. He hadn't come back for 3 days since that moment. *End of flashback*

He stopped right at the entrance of her room, hearing her crying made his heart burst out. It hurt him so bad. So bad. He didn't answer her nor opened the door and went out. He just stood still. Oppa, please, please don't go She was now out of her bed, slowly stepped towards him. Then she stopped just behind him. I'm sorry oppa But can you please don't go away? If you just step out of the door, I'll never see you again! It hurts, oppa, it hurts

Turning his back to her, but her could feel tears were streaming down her cheeks , he could felt the way his wife cried. His hands formed as fists, he couldn't sta nd it. It hurt him, too. It hurts that I can't even breathe There are so many things I couldn't say You have never heard them before but among many people in this world why I could only see you? I was standing there all the time and why can I only see you? Why am I so childish like that? Since I was that little girl who always tagged a long with you, why have I been always seeing only you? Just like child who is al ways this way, after this love, I don't really know what will happen What should I do with myself? What should I do with you? I was so scared, oppa I'm scared that you will leave me when I'm already in your arms , that's why I try to push you away before you leave me, it may lessen my pain, I think And now, you come and you tell me everything Why didn't you tell me before? You didn't give me a chance to say I love you, but now you come and tell me how mu ch you love your first love in front me. You married her without telling her tha t you even loved her from the very beginning? You are just too cruel, oppa I hate you!

She took a deep breath and tried to sweep off all her tears. Then her voice became smoothier yet painful. Baby ah, Mommy is sorry Mommy is sorry for keeping you away from Daddy Mommy is sorry for only telling you how much I love him but don't have any bravery to tell him that. Mommy is sorry for letting go of his hands Mommy is sorry for making you suffer with me Daddy told you to be good to me, right? He told you to take care of me, right? Baby ah Can you please tell him that if it's not him, I don't need any one else to be good to me, to be good to both of us If it's not him, I don't want anyone else to be with me, if it's not him, I don't want anyone else to take care of me, if it's not hi m, I don't want anyone else to protect me He couldn't stand it anymore.

He turned around to face her, slowly walked towards her Baby ah, have I told you that because I'm a bad Daddy, so you have to take care of mommy for me, you have to be good to her for me? But why do you let her cry like this? I know you don't like Daddy, but it's our business, our boys' things, and we wi ll talk about it later, but no matter how much you dislike me, I think you shoul dn't let her cry like this Baby ah, can you tell Mommy this for me? Tell her from me that I don't want her to cry like this, seeing tears flow down he r cheeks which I always want to kiss since she was a little girl makes my heart so down. Tell her from me that even though how much she hate me, please don't make herself suffer because of me. Tell her that I know she hate me, but even before her wish, I won't ever let her g o, I won't ever let any other guys out there to take care of her for me. Your Mommy is my wife, you know that, right? Baby ah, even though I was hurt because she hid you from me. But if I get mad be cause of this, the only one I'm mad at is me myself, not her. I'm mad, yeah But I'm mad at me because I can't realize earlier that she is having my baby and I'm m ad that on the night I made love with her, I should have told her that how much I love her and how much I want you to be here in this world with us Baby, I know now Mommy is mad at Daddy, she hates me now But can you please tell her that I love her?

He stopped in front of her and lovingly looked at her face. Then he cupped her face with all of his hands and said Baby ah, can you please co ver your eyes now? I think it's not proper for a 5 week baby like you to witness t he thing I'm gonna do right at this moment? And after finishing his words, Min Ho slowly gulped down his head to put his lip s on Sulli's and lovingly kissed his wife. He felt like this moment was the moment that he always longed for, the moment th at he was all hers and the moment he could truly pour out his heart to her. Her tears started to fall down again when she answered his kisses. They just stood there and kissed, sweetly giving their hidden love to each other . The kissed became more and more passionate until they were all panted out. Sulli pulled out from his arms to catch her breath. Min Ho looked in to his wife eyes as he whispered those words that he kept in hi

s heart for so long - I love you, Choi Jin Ri, I really really love you, and I'm sor ry for not telling you that I hate you, oppa Sulli shrugged his arms away She was still crying. I hate you I'm sorry, Ssul I hate you Please don't cry, baby, my Ssul baby Min Ho kissed away all her tears I hate you I love you, Ssul He whispered I hate you But then she immediately jumped up a little bit to hug Min Ho , her hands cover his neck as he sweetly whispered beside his ear I hate you, oppa, but I think I love you more And I'm sorry, too He hugged her back I'm sorry too, baby And remember this I love you so much So much th at it hurts I love you, Choi Jin Ri I love you, too, Min Ho oppa Then suddenly, he pulled out a little bit and a glint flashed in his eyes as he said mischievously Baby ah, Daddy sorry for making you inconvenience, but just th is time, ok? Can you please cover your eyes again? HAPTER 11 THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW

How does she know you love her? How does she know she's yours? How does she know that you love her? How do you show her you love her? How How How How That's how she knows that you love her That's how you show her you love her That's how you know... That's how you know... She's your love... does she know that you really, really, truely love her? does she know that you love her? do you show her you love her? does she know that you really, really, truely love her?

 *Flashback* 7 years ago On that one January night. She was still awake, sitting on her familiar wooden chair outside the balcony an d reading that letter, the letter her husband gave her 45 years ago on their Wed ding day. She smiled. Honey, is it good up there? How are you up there? Do you miss me? She trailed up those sparkle stars on the dark sky, connecting each of them toge ther in an unordered way, dot by dot I know that you're fine up there, tight, honey? And thank you, thank you so much for bringing her back, bringing our beloved lit tle Sulli back, thank you for answering my prayer, thank you for bringing our be loved granddaughter back from that sickness Thank you honey, for answer my prayer Our precious Sulli is fine now She whispered lovingly, still looked up into the starry night sky. And you, my dear Min Ho, if you want to tell me something, why don't you come in? Sh e asked in her softly voice without turning her head around. That boy sighed, he slowly walked to the opened door of the balcony. How do you know that I came, grandma? He asked, bowing down his body. I see you grow up, dear And I know your footsteps, when you walk in happiness, whe n you walk in upsetting, when you walk in mad I know them all, my dear She looked u p at him, smiling. How do I walk, this time? In confusing, my boy She answered, pinching his nose You know me too well, grandma Not only you, both of you I guess so She laughed, patting on her grandson's head, the one who was in deep thought now. So, what do you want to tell me? Nothing, grandma Really? Ok, so go to sleep now, thank you for coming to say good night to me, dea r Aish, can you just me one more time?

Aigoo, this boy Now what? What makes my grandson so confusing? Sulli It's not easy to tell her you love her She's my little sister It's not right or wrong when you have feeling for a girl who grows up with you I'm afraid, grandma For what, my dear? I don't know what my heart truly feel right now. I love her. I know it. But I'm afrai d, I'm not that confident, grandma Seeing her going through that hard time during t he treatment and we even nearly lost her I'm scared grandma She's too young, too fragi le And if I tell her, I don't have that confident to always be there for her If I te ll her, would we be able to be together forever? What if I can't be there with her ? What if I hurt her and even ruin our brother sister relationship? And above al l, I'm confusing with my feeling now How do I know that I really, really, truely love her? How do I know that I love her? Let's your heart decides, dear - She caressed his hair Then she continued by humming in a melody of a song that she often sang for the two of them when they were little That's how she knows that you love her That's how you show her you love her That's how you know... And if I know Will we be together forever? Does it the thing so called Ever after? Life is not a fairy tale, dear Though the world will tell you it's not smart But re member The world can be yours if you let your heart believe in ever after *End of flashback* They were in the middle of the dinner at the newlywed's apartment. This morning, Sulli was discharged from the hospital after a week staying there, the doctors and both the 2 family wanted to make sure that she and their baby w ere all in good condition. The two mothers got stunned as they know about their daughter's and daughter in la ws' pregnancy. As women and caring mothers, they thought they knew them too well t hat they told each other to wait until their children all ready for the true mar riage And they thought it would be a long time ahead for them to see their grandb aby But, here the baby came, in a very surprising way that they never predicted, and

that made them just so stunned. The only one who didn't get any surprise was their grandma, that ever know- best w isdom and respectful old lady. She just smiled and asked How are they, our young mother and the baby? While the two fathers kept on patting their son's and son in laws' shoulders, saying Good job, young man You're doing a very good job Well done, well done! And as their house was all full of people, Min Ho felt so happy and excited, yea h, right, how could he not, right? He was going to be a father soon. He confessed to his wife and he knew she loved him too. How could he not that happy and excited? Well, actually, there was something made him so frustrated right now. He brought out his cell phone and started texting to someone. Pip. I'm really upset now. I think I cannot pretend that I'm so much happy and exciting an ymore. This is frustrated. Pip. Why? Your wife is pregnant now, you should be very happy, shouldn't you? Pip. Don't tease me, I'm not, now. I hate this kind of gathering, talk about this and that , and, damn it. I'm not good at pretending. Pip. Be patient, honey. I'll soon over. Just think of me and ignore them all. Pip. But I miss you. So much. Pip. I know, I miss you, too. But nothing we can do, just wait, ok? I promise it'll be s oon over. I miss you too, what should I do? Pip. Really? I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to see you, now. Wait for me. Pip. Yaaaaa, don't be like that. They'll know it. But the text message didn't work as the sender wished.

Min Ho just stand up from the tea chatting, making Onew, who sat next to him cho ked out his watermelon juice. He yelled Ya, Choi Min Ho, what's up? But Min Ho wouldn't answer him nor the other people's questioning faces. He just walked out of the living room, nearly like he wanted to run, slam opened the door and closed it loudly. He entered the elevator, pushed on the selecting button. After it opened he kept walking fast until he reached the door to the outside an d rushed into a corner of the garden. Ya, I told you to wait, why did you do this? Now people will wonder what happened . What should I do? A girl's voice raised up, her breath panting. I don't care, I just miss you. I don't care about them, I just want us to be alone. Even your wife? The voice lowered down He kept on walking towards and he stopped as he heard the voice yelping. Ya, I told you to slow down, you make my twist hurt! He stopped, loosened his gripped a little bit but he didn't let go of the girls' han d. And he turned around. It's all of your fault, I told you I missed you but you kept on texting me that I h ave to wait Ya, Mr. Choi, are you nuts? In that crowed dinner with all the 2 families and you r friends, you just stood up like am angry man and ragged your wife all the way out like this, then, it's all my fault? Ya, Mrs. Choi, I told you, I can't not stand it, but you just told me to sit down a nd talk this and that with them. I can't stand it. I can't pretend that I'm happy anym ore. I'm so frustrated. And you, your husband said he missed you, but you just sat there and laughing with Hee Chul hyung, you make me so frustrated! Ya, now, you're mad at me, huh? Yeah, I'm mad, but not at my wife, I'm mad at them, those ignoring people. Today is my truly first day with my wife in our house, but they kept staying the re, talking about this and that, and laughing here and there. Why don't they be mo re sensitive? Why can't they just left after the dinner and let the newlywed alone by themselves? Can't they see how the husband misses his wife? Sulli giggled at Min Ho's statement. She couldn't say anything else, she just stood there and looked at him, laughing. Aigoo, poor my hubby My childish hubby misses me so much that he even gets mad at the others who don't leave him alone with me? What should I do with him now? Aigoo , poor my hubby

I miss you so much, they kept you away from me for the whole day He pouted, coming closer to give her a tight hug. Really? Yeah, I miss you so so much He lingered a soft kiss on her head Aishh What should I do baby? Daddy is even more like a baby than you Sulli whispered , caressing his face with her one hand. A kiss, then He whispered back, as he cupped her face and started to kiss her passi onately.

That how she knows, you love her That's how she knows she's yours He sang softly near h r ears after ending their sweet kisses. What's that, oppa? Sulli asked surprisingly Min Ho didn't answer his wife, he just pulled out a little bit as he saw into his wife's eyes and continued singing That's how you know, you love her That's how you show you love her That's how you she knows, she's your love Sulli smiled brightly, giving a peck on his lips You still remember this song, op pa? I love you, Choi Jin Ri I love you so much I love you too, Min Ho oppa I love you more, I love you so much more that I even forgot to ask our baby to co ver its eyes when I kiss you, and you too, you just enjoy my kisses and forgot t o remind me to ask our baby to do that He smirked, planting another kiss on her li ps. Ya, oppa But I'm not that's happy now He pouted again, making Sulli confused What's now? Baby, why does Daddy always up and down like this? Can you ask him why, baby? Because I'm not happy seeing Mommy laugh and have fun with her first love in front of me He said, poking her cheeks. Sulli giggled, then she got blushed. He's so cute What? Min Ho almost shouted My first love, baby ah, Daddy doesn't know that how cute my first love is That dorky guy even doesn't know that how cool he is, how cute he is when he said he was just a boring guy.

And he even doesn't know how much I love him He doesn't know the only thing I want to do right now when standing right in front of him is to grab his face and kiss that pouting yet sexy lips, the only thing I want is to cut his nagging and jealousy by my kisses The only thing I want to d o now is to tell my first love that he is the father of my baby Sulli smiled mischievously, one of her finger touched Min Ho's lips, making him sh ivered down. You you mean He mumbled But before Min Ho could finish his words, Sulli stopped him by a sweet and sexy kiss, her arms snaked around his neck I love you, Min Ho oppa, my first love She sm irked between their wet and passionate kisses CHAPTER 12 WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR

She woke up at the midnight to see an empty space beside her on the bed. Hadn't been awake yet, she blinked and brushed her eyes for a more obvious view. She was alone on the bed. He wasn't there. Oppa, where are you? She wondered, thinking that he might go to the rest room. Afraid of the cold air outside the bed, she just lazily rolled around under the warm cover and waited for him to go back and hug her when they slept. These days, because of her lovely husband, the 8 week pregnant Sulli was growing up a bad habit as a sniveling little girl, whenever she went to bed, Min Ho wou ld have to be there with her, hugging and nuzzling her until she fell asleep, no matter how busy with his work or how much sleepy he was, she was the one who sl ept first, in his arms. Mornings, Min Ho woke up with a frozen arm as in the previous night, it was give n to his sniveling wife to be her pillow. And now, if Sulli woke up at the midnight like this, she wouldn't get back to slee p again unless she felt she was in his arms. Childish, right? But our lovey dovey husband here didn't mind it. He loved it. But after almost 15 minutes, he hadn't come back, and it waa time for Sulli to wen t on her familiar adventure. She carefully went out of her bed, and rushed out with the Teddy bear on her han d. Actually, Choi Min Ho's wife had a very cute habit, she would never went out of her bed at night without her Teddy Bear, scaring of being alone at night, the T eddy bear certainly became her accompanying bodyguard and protected her from tho

se dark imagining fear. Oppa?... She opened the bathroom door. He wasn't there. She gripped the bear tighter. Then she saw a light brimming from the kitchen side of their apartment. She slowly approached there and right after she could see it clear, here came in front of her eyes the beloved Choi hubby there, busily devouring a bunch of fri ed chicken he had just bought in the afternoon. Min Ho was too focused in his devouring business that he even didn't notice his wi fe's appearance, until he heard Sulli's giggle and looked up. He smiled. Like a shy little boy. Sulli chucked at her husband wave, he signaled her to come closer and pointed at his lap. She obeyed and sat down on his lap, putting her arms around his neck. You like it that much, huh? She asked, pouting Hmmmm He was back with his enjoying and even couldn't answer her properly. Are they that much delicious She caressed his ear, making him a little bit choke ou t but he didn't stop eating. Hmmmmm really really tasty He smiled, again, like a kid. This time, couldn't help it, Sulli burst out in to laughter. And Min Ho stopped, lifting his head up, licking his lips, threw his famous char ismatic flaming glare at his wife Wae? Who are you laughing at? Who makes me like this and then laugh at me? Aniyo, thank you, oppa This is showing how much you love me, Sulli smiled, plantin g a kiss on her husband's cheek. *Flashback* Sulli woke up because of the noise Min Ho had just made. He jumped out of their bed and rushed out in the bathroom. Sulli ran after him, worriedly. Waeyo, oppa? What happened? Min Ho didn't reply, he had already gulped down his head and kept on throwing up. Sulli was stunned at that situation and her mind almost blank until she heard th at familiar sound. The same sound when she vomiting every morning. He was vomiting up. Hard.

His hands gripped tight at the bathtub counter, his shoulders were shaking. Oppa, are you ok? Do you feel sick? She bowed down, patting softly on his back I don't know, I just this feeling He dropped down his sentence at the urge of the vomi ting and turned to the basil again to throw up, this time, it even made him a li ttle bit teary I I don't know why, my stomach just .. just And again, he dropped out the answer to co ntinued throwing up. He looked so pale. And that event happened repeatedly in two days, though Sulli wanted him to go to the hospital for a reliable checkup but he refused for the excuse of being busy with his new project at work Until No, Mom Thank you, but I don't have the appetite Min Ho smiled weakly, he still looked so pale, refusing his favorite seafood noodles made by his mother. They were at his house for a family gathering dinner. Waeyo, boy? Don't tell me that now you love your wife's food than mine? His mom preten ded to be upset, glaring at him No, mom, I just can't stand its smell He hardly answered, feeling the urge of vomitin g brimming up from his stomach again. What happened with him, Sulli? Does he have stomachache or something? He looks so pale when he came, is he sick? Her father asked in concern. This is what I want to tell you, he looks so ill from the day before yesterday, a nd it even gets worse every morning, but whatever I tell him and rush him to the hospital for a full checkup, he wouldn't listen to me! I'm mad at him already. Sulli pouted at her father, and threw a glare at Min Ho, yet worry was in her eyes wh en she saw him bitting his lips, as if he was suffering from something very unea sy. I told you, just because I was stressed out from the busy work and MOM, I TOLD YOU, I CANNOT STAND ITS SMELL Min Ho suddenly yelled out as his mother lift up the sea food plates near his nose and immediately he ran out of the dinner table to the nearest bathroom direction. Sullie got stunned, the only thing she knew at that moment was to go after him a nd called out his name to open the door as she heard he threw up again. Oppa, open the door! Are you ok? Ssul, are you feeling well now? Have you felt the morning sick these days? Her mot her in laws called her from the dining room Aniyo, mother, I feel better now, and even the morning sick, it hasn't come lately Sh e answered back in between her knocking for calling Min Ho to open the bathroom door. The two mothers burst in laughter as they saw Sulli back with her husband tagged along behind, he looked like a wet sick kitten coming back from a heavy rain. Mwoya? I'm sick and you're that happy? Min Ho sat down upsettingly, he never expected this reaction from the elders.

Kids, let he rest Grandmother slowly said, she smile softly As a result, the parents stopped laughing, but they immediately turned in to gig gling and buzzing together Mwoya? What happen with you guys, Min Ho oppa is sick and you're that happy? Sulli p outed, feeling confused. Your husband must love you so much, my dear Sulli Grandma said, smiling Sullie blushed, hearing her grandmother's sudden statement. She looked at her two grandchildren lovingly And by the way, Min Ho, no need for you to go to the hospital The newlywed exchanged a confusing look. What do you mean, grandma? A man who has morning sickness doesn't need to come to the hospital to check up, un less his sickness becomes even worse than the sickness his wife has His mother lau ghed WHAT? MORNING SICKNESS? The two yelled in shock Yeah, right, my dear You're having morning sickness for your Sulli Grandma just smiled , her eyes sparkled Sometimes, it happened because the husband is too worried for his pregnant wife, and just so you now, we'll have an reversal here, instead of t he wife, her husband will have her sickness during her first stage of pregnancy, and this case, you're that lovely man, my dear Min Ho And I'm glad that this may be the proof for how much love and care for her Ssul, your husband must love you so much, he now receives all of your tiring and inconvenience Sulli blushed, she smiled at Min Ho with her surprising yet sweet puppy eyes. Smiled back weakly, Min Ho mouthed I love you with her, ignoring the teasing sound from the parents. And soon ran away to the bathroom for another vomiting round. *End of flashback*

After finished both of that combo fried chicken, Min Ho was now lying on the bed with Sulli in his arms, he picked up the Teddy bear beside his wife and said wh ile poking at its tummy. Teddy, have I told you that somedays I would replace you on this bed, now I'm here already, I thought you should go to your own place with those Hello Kitty, Winni e the Pooh, Pigglet, Snoopy, Pororo, Keroro He shook the bear, pointing at the cor ner where Sulli placed her flurry stuffs. Ya, oppa, give him back to me! Sulli tried to get the bear back Him? So he's a boy, huh? Min Ho asked, raising his eyes brows Sulli giggled Oh, a boy, so what?

So, it's his fault to be a boy, he'd better go to that place with them instead of her e And he threw the bear away, making Sulli yelled out. Ya! No boy has the right to stay beside my Ssul baby Min Ho said flatly, embracing her in a big hug. You're sooooooo much childish oppa Froggy oppa Sulli answered, hugging him back. You make me like this, Ssul baby Oppa Wae? I can't sleep Why? Feeling sick something? Ani just because Because what? Because of the noisy whaling sound from your stomach, oppa YA, this little girl! Psssss Stop that! Stop tickling me Froggy oppa It's been a long time you haven't call me Froggy oppa He smiled, hugging her tighter Long time, huh? Since when Almost 3 years right? From that day, I haven't called you Froggy oppa But I still wondering, are you that Prince Charming That Froggy Princ e?

*Flashback* 3 years ago At the University Welcome Newbie and Graduate Farewell Party. They entered the same university. This year, Sulli was 19, her fresh year at college, and the last year of senior like Min Ho. The Student Council always celebrated the two events in a big and splendid party . This year, the concept of the event was Fairy tale Ball room Dance Party, where all the participants should dress in those gowns that resemble to one of the cha racters from many famous fairy tale. Sulli, with her milky with skin and pretty face, was chosen as the Snow White an d represented for her class. She was so nervous wearing a truly bubbling and strange dress like this, but rig

ht after her appearance, both of the looks were attracted by her As a shy girl, S ulli felt a bit lonely in a crowded party. The only thing she wanted to do was went out and came to a small corner of her o wn. She smiled at Krystal, who was busily dancing with the guys Even though she w as the center of the party, Sulli still feel uneasy, she didn't use to those kind of gathering. Then suddenly Ladies and Gentlemen, now it's time for out teuely ball room dance Guys, please wear up your masks and find your princess, invite her to dance with you Our party is going to start right now And here you go Vienna Waltz The music was on She could see the boys put on their masks The music A beautiful song And, suddenly A voice came near her ears Snow White, can I have this dance? She didn't know why her mind told her to refuse, she didn't know how to dance, the o nly time she dance was with Min Ho on her 14th birthday, at the hospital, during her treatment And dancing? No, it reminded her of him, his hands, his aura Everyt hing But her hands were now in his, and she softly nodded her head You're in my arms And all the world is calm The music playing on for only two So close together And when I'm with you So close to feeling alive The light was all off, and she could hardly see his face, especially when he wor e a mask like this But, this feeling, what is this Is this Min Ho oppa?... It's too dark here I can't see his face But this feeling Quite familiar Just as the same, 5 years ago, at the hospital, wh en he taught me to dance those waltz step

These hands It's been a long time for me to take his hands Are these his hands? So close She felt and she wanted to know it was him Because only this feeling made her fee l so alive So close to him Prince Are you him? Are you Min Ho oppa? A life goes by Romantic dreams must die So I bid mine goodbye and never knew So close was waiting, waiting here with you And now forever I know All that I want is to hold you So close He gripped her hands tighter, he knew, this time, after 2 years, he would have a chance to get close to her. The music Tender and beautiful, just like her His little sister His first love He once let go of her hands because of that coward inside him He was guilty for not being with her, for refusing her And now, his chance to bri ng her back Would he have that bravery? He lookd into her eyes Those sparkle and pure eyes They're so close Are you still waiting for me? Are you still there for me? He once gave this Snow White an apple, and this time, could he be able to make u p his mistake Is there still that stupid poison in the apple? The apple he gave h er along with the result that she never believe in fairy tale anymore Never beli eve in ever after anymore? He hold her in his arms This was not a dance anymore So close to reaching that famous happy ending Almost believing this one's not pretend And now you're beside me and look how far we've come So far, we are, so close We're so close, but why do I feel it's too far? Looked into his face, Sulli secretly as king herself. Is there a thing call Happy ending? Ang if it is a dream Tomorrow, when I wake up, will I see you?

She leaned up, and touch his mask Her heart fluttered How could I face the faceless days If I should lose you now? We're so close To reaching that famous happy ending Almost believing this one's not pretend Let's go on dreaming for we know we are So close So close And still so far He gave an apple in her hand and there was a small paper on it. The paper wrote in English: Dear Snow White, I've tried it, no poison you can believ e in fairy tale again - Uncharming Prince That time, he had no bravery to begin again *End of flashback* They woke up together in the bed the next morning Ring Ring Sulli lazily turned on her phone Hello Is that Mrs. Choi Choi Jin Ri Yeah, I'm speaking I'm calling from the Mothers and Babies Healthcare, can you please come to our plac e to receive the checkup result today I mean both of you, you and your husband Doc tor Kim said he wanted to talk to both of you, this afternoon, when you come, he'l l discuss more in details CHAPTER 13 SAFE AND SOUND

Mommy, I love you The child touched her face, and smile sweetly

They were sitting on a bench in an unknown park It was autumn, she could clearly tell, because she saw those golden leaves fell down and covered the ground.

But she was wondering

Why does it have fog in the middle of autumn like this? Why is this place so fogg

y?

She smiled back sweetly and bowed down to kiss him on his forehead.

Mommy loves you,too

Mommy The kid called her while he was playing with a swing from afar

Waeyo? She shouted back, smiling brightly

They told me my Mommy is a Princess, is it true?

Well, you know I guess they're right! She playfully answered, coming closer to the ki d

Can you promise me this, Princess Mommy?

What promise, boy?

Please be strong, I will protect you, Princess Mommy

Princess Mommy?

Yes

I love you, Princess Mommy

And that was in her dream, one day before she came to the hospital to receive th e checkup result

They asked her to come in person, and together with her husband.

Was there anything serious that just happened so that they want them to come?

She was so nervous, even though Min Ho tried to assure her that, nothing would h appen, it was just a regular checkup, but she couldn't help herself, her heart was so heavy.

It's ok Ssul, just come in and take the baby checkup first, I'll wait here, don't worry , our baby is ok We'll talk to Dr. Kim later Min Ho gripped her hands one more time b efore planting a soft kiss on her forehead.

But Min Ho didn't stand there, he came straight away to the doctor's office.

Please come in

Oh, Mr. Choi, I mean, Min Ho ssi when did you come? The doctor lifted up his head, smiling

Good afternoon, my wife is having a re - checkup now, can we talk first before sh e comes here? I mean, can I ask you, is there something wrong with our baby or wi th her? Min Ho asked, his eyes became serious

Well, frankly to say Min Ho ssi, I'm glad that you're that sensitive to realize

Does your wife notice it?

Dr. Kim, can you do me a favor? Please don't tell her about this today. I'll tell her about it, I'll tell her I'll find a way to tell her, but not today

He was driving her home, the weather was still cold, but they can easily realize the spring was its way to come, the sky was brighter and the spring breeze blew freshly, passing by those flowers and trees on the roads

Wow, how fresh it is The weather is so good Sulli smiled brightly, to Min Ho, her sm ile was even brighter than the sun, even more gorgeous than those blossom tulips in the park they were driving by, her hand was in his, tight

But this time, Min Ho wished she didn't smile this way, no matter how much bright and beautiful it was It hurt him Hurt to death

Oppa She called him, her puppy eyes sparkled

Uhmmm, waeyo, giant baby? His eyes were stick to the road

Can we drop by the department store for a while, I want to buy some eh Some stuff Sul li suddenly giggled, her cheeks became pinky.

Oppa, look at this This is too cute, right? Sulli happily waved at him, a baby hat with a Pororo face on it She giggled, looked like she was in her own world.

Sulli danced over the Baby Wear Store, she picked this thing up then bow down to pick another thing This pink one, this purple on, this blue one, this yellow one this Winnie the Pooh one this Tigger one This Tom one, this Jerry one

Min Ho just stood still and looked at is wife's happy and cheerful reaction.

A sword stabbed right at his heart whenever he saw her looked at him and smiled brightly with some cute things on her hands. She was like a little girl, lost in her own world of fairy tale Full of amaze and beauty

Ssul, can we go home early, we can come back here later He came, tugging her sleeve s

Wae, oppa? What do you think? This one is cuter, right? The blue one is much more better for a baby boy, right? Sulli innocently asked for Min Ho's opinion, not rea lizing the hurting glint in his eyes

How do you know it's a boy? Min Ho gently asked, stroking is wife's hair I saw him in my dream He has your eyes, those big brown eyes and your nose this man ly nose She answered, pecking her pouting lips on his nose

Can we leave now, Ssul?

Wae, oppa? Why are your eyes teary? Sulli looked up, and was back off by her husba nd's face

Nothing, Ssul Just

You're feeling unwell again, huh oppa? Wanna vomit or something? She touched his fac e, and then gulped down, pouting at her belly Baby, I told you, don't make Daddy su ffer that much

Can we just go home, Ssul?

Ok, ok Sniveling baby and his Daddy Home She pouted

Baby ah, what should I do? How can I tell Mommy?

Oppa! Sulli rushed in from the entrance way, she happily called for Min Ho who was busily preparing for dinner.

Who? And how is your seminar today? Has your foreign team mate left? Min Ho loving ly looked at his wife

Seo Hyun unnie. Good. He'd already left, I and Vic unnie saw him off at the airport this afternoon.

Mwo? Min Ho asked again, rasing his eyes brows

Heeeeee, you asked me 3 questions and I answered them one by one She laughed

Alright, alright So what?

I met Seo Hyun unnie She excitedly said and waited for Min Ho's reaction

Seo Hyun?

with her husband, Jung Yong Hwa! Sulli happily said, her voice echoed like a cheer ful little bird

Her husband? Actually Key told me that he was coming back to Seoul Min Ho said, pla cing the plate of kimchi fried rice on the table.

You already know that? Sulli gasped

Uhm Key told me, last time when you and her, you guys were both at the hospital, T ae Min decided to contact Yong Hwa and told him everything, I guess that is the reason why you met him at the airport today Min Ho smiled softly, plating a kiss o n his wife cheek while he passed by her to get some bows and more plates

Aish, but you didn't know this, oppa Sulli became very excited

Know what?

She's pregnant! Seo Hyun unnie is pregnant! She yelled in happily

Seo Hyun? She is pregnant? Min Ho's eyes widened

Last time, when she collapsed and was rushed into the hospital just like me, they acknowledged that she was having baby and she even wasn't aware of it But she was too confused because in the US they told her she didn't have the ability to give b irth again after her miscarriage, and she kept it as a secret. She didn't wanted t o confused Yong Hwa oppa, but she didn't know that one of the doctor who took care of her was Yong Hwa's best friend from the childhood, that friend contacted him w ho was actually in US planning for a trip back to Seoul to find her Yay, you know , it was even before Tae Min oppa called him, and he asked Taem oppa to keep it as a secret, as he didn't want her to think too much Such a fairy tale, right, oppa ? I'm so much happy hearing that, I and Seo Hyun unnie even cried in front a lot o f people Even though how hard it is for her to be pregnant, God also gives her an other chance in those hopeless and desperation And it truly happened A miracle

It means that she was already pregnant in the US but she didn't know that?

Yeah Cute, right She told me she spent the last night with him before disappeared w ithout telling him Yay, how romantic Sulli blushed a little bit, this story reminde d her about their first night, too How they made out, how were the touches Her che eks became red

Min Ho smiled and came towards his wife now was shyly gulping down, avoiding his look.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer for a hug.

Are you that happy for her? He lingered a kiss on her head.

Ne, really really happy She answered, hiding her face onto his chest.

Oppa, I'm so much happy that we can give birth to the babies in the same years She wh ispered, still clutching to him.

He held her back, tighter Hearing her those words made his heart stop for a while .

Ssul What should I do with you? How can I tell you?

She was standing by the window, looking up at the starry night sky, the Teddy be ar was on her hand.

She smiled at herself, thinking about Min Ho, about their baby, she wondered how Min Ho would look like when he truly became a father.

He would be a very caring and loving daddy, wouldn't he? She whispered to the bear

What are you doing, baby? A hug came to wrap her from behind, it was Min Ho

Talking with Mr. Teddy bear She answered back, resting her head on his chest, enjoy ing his back hug, his aura

Ssul He lovingly kissed her hair

Waeyo, father to be?

Remember the Ballroom dance 3 years ago in our University? He suddenly asked, hold ing her hands

Uhm, what about that?

You were dancing with a guy, right?

Nope

Huh?

He's a Prince with a mask on She said softly

He gave you and apple and a paper, right?

How can you know that, oppa? Sulli turned around to face her husband, surprising a nd confusion were in her eyes

Do you still remember what he wrote on the paper?

It was written in English

Does it say: I have tried it No poison Uncharming Prince

You you are that Prince, you're him?

You're always that smart, Princess He smiled, pecking on her pouting lips

Is it true that it's you? Why didn't you tell me?

Because I'm stupid And I was too close to you, too close, but the coward inside me p revented me from grabbing your hands and ragging you out of that silly party, if I had been more brave, we would have sneaked out and ended up in the garden tha t I and Onew hyung were prepared for the whole week that time, I decided to confe ss, but I was so scared of hurting you and you always avoided me, that's why, inst ead of giving you the apple in the garden, I gave it in the party and left witho ut revealing who I was Stupid, right? He said, caressing her face

But, but why did you want to give me the apple, and what does it mean? Sulli asked in dazz, her heart flustered upon hearing the truth from Min Ho.

I said No poison, I don't want anyone or anything to hurt you, my pure princess, and I'm always be there for you, love you and protect you, that's what I mean If there is any poisonous apple is given to you, I'll never let you bit a piece of it I'll prote ct you

I love you, Min Ho oppa She whispered and kissed him sweetly

Min Ho kissed her back, but he was stunned after hearing her whispered in betwee n their kiss.

Baby ah, Mommy loves Daddy so much, he loves you, too, you know that, right? You know that he will protect us, right? Daddy is the best, right?

Ssul

Uhm Oppa

I know, if it's not about the apple, maybe the Prince would never find the way to m eet Snow White, he would never fins the way to rescue her from the curse But can you promise me this, Ssul?

Promise what?

If you know that the apple was poisonous from the very beginning, can you please not to eat it? Can you please don't touch it? Maybe it's hard to tell, but even the Prince don't know where you are, and it may take more time to find you, but can yo u please not to take it if you now that apple is poisonous Can you please trust y our prince and let him find the way? Can you please let him protect you?

Oppa, what do you mean? Sulli was getting confused as she looked at Min Ho who was now gulping down onto her belly

Ssul, can you please listen to me, this time only?

Go away! I told you go away, and don't touch me! Sulli yelled out, she was crying so hard and using all of her force to push Min Ho out of the room.

Ssul, please, please let me in Please listen to me Min Ho struggled to hold her back , trying to calm her down.

Go away, go away! GO AWAY! DON'T TOUCH ME! She didn't stop yelling and crying at the s ame time.

Finally, she could shrug him out and clocked the door.

Min Ho kept on slamming on the door, wanting her to open it for him.

Sulli, please, please listen to me!

Go away!

I beg you, Ssul, please let me in!

Abortion? What do you mean by abortion? How can you speak out this word from your own mouth? Are you a father? Or are you a truly human being? She yelled, in betw een her sobs.

Min Ho could feel her pain hearing him saying that word, but they had to choice.

He had no choice.

Choosing between her and their baby, how could he choose? He was a father, sayin g that he had to choose between his wife and the baby, how could they tell him t o choose? If he held on to her, it meant that he was getting rid of his own baby. But if h e let her keep the baby, it mean he might lose both of them, if he let her take risk of her life to hold on the baby, it meant the mother his Sulli and his own baby might end up lost.

He would lose both of them!

He was going crazy for this! He knew it.

Her sickness That sickness that she was diagnosed 8 years ago would be back if sh e was in a condition that could make it grow again. That sickness might harm her blood and brain again, and in this case, she was pregnant. It would make the si ckness back.

That disease It once made her temporarily lost her memory

That disease They No, he nearly lost her for it

This time

I don't want to lose you! I don't want that sickness take you one more time! He shoute d, trying so hard to hold the painful tears back. He wanted to be strong for her .

Don't ever say that oppa! I don't want to abandon my own baby! You don't want to lose m e, but I don't want to lose my baby, too! She cried, holding her chest

It hurt her.

Leave me alone, oppa Just leave me alone

*Flashback*

She was staring at him with her emotionless eyes.

Who is he? Grandma? The girl looked at her grandmother with a confusing face

He's Min Ho, your Min Ho oppa Can't you remember him? Her grandmother gently stroking h er hair, she signaled him to come closer.

I don't know who he is The girl pouted, shaking her head

Well, sweetheart, you guys were grown up together, and of course you know him, ju st because

Grandma, she's right Now she don't know me, but I will make her know me, again

Now, tell me, who I am? The boy kept on stickling her, making her laugh so hard

Min Ho

What?

Min Ho Min Ho oppa The girl said breathlessly in between her laugh

Good job, good job Princess! He stopped and ruffed her hair.

She looked at him with her teary eyes

Why, princess? Why do you cry? He sat down, weeping the tears away.

Oppa, thank you

It's ok, princess Don't cry

What if I forget you, again? What if I can't remember you again?

Then I'll start again with you just like this Then I'll make you remember me once agai n Then I will protect you and hold on to you Then'll never get lost of you, princess

*End of flashback*

He knew she wouldn't sleep the whole night, he knew it, he knew that she would sta y awake and crying her heart out.

But he didn't know what to do, she said she wanted to be alone, that's why he just s tood at the door for a while, until he didn't hear her sobbing anymore and left to the another room.

He didn't sleep, too.

He just lying on the bed and starring at the ceiling.

It hurt him.

This cruel fairy tale.

Then he heard the sound of the opened door, he turned around to see Sulli coming in, slowly.

She crawled on the bed, ignoring his look and lay down beside him.

He didn't know anything but to hug her tight and kiss her forehead, it hurt him se eing her like this.

Oppa

Yes, Ssul? He hold her hand which was softly caressing his face.

He told me he would protect me She whispered, her eyes became watery again.

Who?

Our baby he said he would protect me In my dream days ago our baby came and he said he would protect me, he said he loved me, oppa

Min Ho felt a sting in his heart.

This time, can you please keep your promise with me? Can you please let me hold o n to our baby? Our baby said he would protect me And I can't let go of our baby As y ou can't let go of me Can we fight together this time, the three of us? Can we hol d on together this time? And even if I might lose the memory again, can you keep your promise to bring it back? Can you promise to hold on to me and make me rem ember again? This time, you have our baby at your side, out baby is with you Can you please be stronger and fight with me?

We'll make it over again, even if it means I have to start it from the very beginni ng, again

Even if she might lose her memory again I would make my wife to fall in love with me, again

I'll hold on to her and our baby

Story books ending, fairy tales coming true CHAPTER 14 MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU

You're at your 4th month of pregnancy, and we're glad to inform you that the baby is very healthy, in the next few weeks, you can feel your baby's moves, especially th e feet Here, you both can see the baby's head here, and Mr. Father to be, would you like to listen to your cutie pie's heart beat? The female doctor smiled brightly at him, who was nervously listening to the tiny stethoscope used to receive the ba by's heartbeat professionally.

How is that, oppa? Suli smiled, happiness and joy was full in her heart, feeling t he moves of her baby and watching the expression on Min Ho's face.

I I just can't believe it I can hear the baby Min Ho mumbled, smiling like an idiot n feel it, Ssul, this is amazing I can even hear our baby's voice

Sulli laughed, the father to be now became more dramatic because of his eagernes s.

Ok, so what did our cutie pie say?

The baby told me: Daddy, I'm sick of your warning and begging whenever you start to kiss Mommy Daddy, I'm used to it, even your playing footsie under the table things when we come to visits grandparents at their house Min Ho whispered back, his eye s rolled mischievously, then he smirked seeing Sulli's cheeks blushed.

Yaaaa. Sulli slaps his arms, her cheeks turned red hearing the doctor's giggling towa rds them. How is your wife?

She hasn't notice anything, but if you can control her blood pressure and the neura l cellular as you said before, I think I can take care of her, not medically but physically, and as we can see every day, her memory is still good, except for t hose forgotten here and there as the others in daily life

Min Ho ssi, I'm glad that her condition is not as bad as I predicted, but for your own good and for the mother's and baby's, too You should be aware of the turning poin t. Pregnancy is a very good condition for the syndrome to come back, especially when the hormone becomes extra. Your baby is such a good baby, as in my experience, at this stage of the miscarriage hazard will be at the alarm level, there're a self nism within the syndrome developing stage, actually it's become more e of the baby's condition, and when all the factors reach its limit, m will start, but now, even your baby has been at the stage for over e hormone and blood leucocyte concentration still remain normal. pregnancy, eliminate mecha hectic becaus that mechanis 6 weeks, th

I'm glad that both of you decide to fight, and I don't know if it's proper or not to say this, but we feel like your baby is joining with us in this whole time, as y our wife told us previously, she wanted to fight because she knew the baby would protect her But again, I have to remind you, please be careful, if there is anything wrong, contact me and bring her to the hospital right away

Mommy Princess Mommy? The little boy called for her mother, he was sitting on his m other's lap, playing with his toy.

What's that, cutie pie She smiled, pinching his cheeks

Daddy really loves you, Princess Mommy He said without looking up

How can you know that, baby boy? Has he ever told you that His mother asked, blinki ng her eyes

I know it, Princess Mommy Even my little heart here beat faster whenever he touche s your hands like this He holds his mother's hand And when he does like this He and closed his eyes, then made a pop sound, like a bobo onto the air

His mother laughed, plating butterflies kisses all over his face Ya, baby boy, Da ddy taught you this, right? You guys, like father like son!

Princess Mommy, Daddy really loves you

He loves you, too, cutie pie She whispered sweetly, caressing the boy in her arms

You must be very sad if you don't see him, mustn't you?

Just as I can't see you, baby

But Mommy, he really loves you I know, he would never stand it if he can't see you, if he can't touch your hands like this He holds his mother's hand, again And if he c do like this He pouted, and closed his eyes, then made a pop sound, like a bobo on to the air, again

Then the baby boy looked up, his baby face became serious Mommy, I will protect y ou I love you and Daddy

I won't let you go with me, I'll let you stay with Daddy Mommy, I don't want to make Dad dy sad

Sulli opened the old door on the rooftop floor, today Min Ho took her home to vi sit her grandmother, the two didn't tell anybody about her condition and the hazar d of Sulli being diagnosed with the syndrome again since her lastest treatment w hen she was 14.

Her grandmother was having a nap after lunch, and being pregnant, sometimes, Sul li didn't feel the urge to sleep, that's why she sneaked out of the room and went up stairs.

Her childhood flooded back in her mind

Here came her toys, here came her old dolls those music boxes and even her old mi ni piano

Sulli sat down on the floor, started playing the Lullaby song, Min Ho's favorite s ong when he was little

And suddenly, her eyes landed on an old carton box at the corner of the rooftop room, her heart flustered a little bit as she left the mini piano and came close r to the box.

A smiled formed on her lips as she saw the note on top of the box Little Jinri's tr easure, those handwriting was from her beloved grandmother, Sulli's had the same fe ature of handwriting as her.

Sulli slowly opened the box, and she found a lot of thing that grew up together with her. Her tiny little pinky angel ring, her old first English photo dictiona ry and her hand touched a purple envelope, which was written outside To Grandma

Her hand shook a bit as she opened the envelope and unfolded the letter inside

March 30th

Grandma, I'm so sorry about yesterday, my two eyes were so puffed up. I locked m y door and didn't take a step outside.

What do I do? Tears keep falling down I guess there is no one whose first love la sted in this world. I guess everyone has to squat and spill tears. And forget as they live on. Grandma, my first love hurts like my first wisdom tooth.

I don't know Grandma, I don't know - this bug-like love, to a young me, it's too cruel. What should I do? My heart is already burnt, my first love - this love i s going to kill me, what should I do?

Grandma... has Grandpa ever made you upset like this? I guess men don't know thi s easy girl's hearts. That jerk - he's not even calling. My first love hurts mor e than my first wisdom tooth.

Grandma, I'm so sorry

Your Jin Ri.

It was her letter written to grandmother a day after her 15th birthday.

She still remembered how she locked herself inside the room and wouldn't show up a lthough her parents and grandmother try their every way to comfort her. Her Dad even lost his patience and yelled at her door, at that time, they hadn't been awar e of what made their daughter be stubborn and cry all day like that.

Only her grandma put in a small letter under her door, saying everything was alr ight.

She thought that grandmother would call Min Ho and told him to come, but no, he would never come.

Baby ah, ever since I was just a 15 years old girl, has Mommy loved Daddy that mu ch, huh? What do you think, baby? Am I that silly girl? Too childish, right? But, you know, Daddy was a bad guy back then, he ignored me for a whole week and mon ths after, he even introduced me another guy You know Uncle Tae Min, right? Sulli whispered to her baby, she sweetly caressed her belly, it was now bigger and rou nder, people could easily recognized that Little Miss Sunshine was now preparing t o be a young mother soon.

And suddenly a thought ran through her mind, Sulli ran down stairs and grabbed a n umbrella.

She rushed out to the nearby park, the park in their neighborhood, the park wher e she and Min Ho always came every afternoon after school when they were young.

Her eyes flashed a joyful glint as she saw the tree, the familiar tree Their wish ing tree

*Flashback*

Oppa, is it true that, if I lost my memory again, I can use this to recover every thing? The girl curiously asked the boys who was putting those papers into a box and buried it underground.

Sure, if you forget me or the others again, or anything that you cannot pick up i n your mind, come here and open this, it will help you

Aish, oppa, you're now 17 years old, how can you think this will be better than the neural treatment those doctors gave me?

I'm even better than the doctor, I bet you'll be surprised, once you came But, you kno w, I don't think this will be used, cuz I know that you're fine now, nothing nor tha t syndrome will no longer affect your brain again This is just in case The boy smil ed brightly, patting the girl head.

Really?

Of course, who am I to tell you this? Oppa know best, Princess

I promise, oppa!

Promise what?

I won't ever never forget you ever again never ever

*End of flashback*

Sulli carefully took out the box, she wondered why after those long years, she c

ould still easily took it from the place they buried it 8 years ago.

But that wonder had no time to request for explaination as she opened the box an d found a lot of envelopes inside.

Some of them looked so old, but also some of them looked really new.

And her eyes became teary as she started opening one by one.

The first one.

March 29

SSul,

Today is your 14th birthday, oppa is sorry for not preparing a proper present fo r you. But you know, I'm really happy seeing you recover like this. You can rememb er my name now and seems like you can eventually remember something between us.

My life would suck without you

Then another letter.

Ssul, what should I do?

Sulli ah, why am I being like this? What should oppa do?

Then another one.

Ssul, they told us to break up What should I do?

Then another one.

Today is her wedding day, Ssul

Then another one.

Ssul,

Then another one.

Ssul, you're mine, now

Then another one.

Ssul, please be safe, my life would suck without you

Holding the box on her both two hands, Sulli cried her heart out, she didn't know that he loved her that much

She didn't know everything.

And she just sat there on the ground, crying Letting her tears fall down

So long

For so long

Until

She looked up and got panicked

She swept out her tears and looked around

She got scared

Oppa, where am I?... I don't know this place Oppa? Where are you? Where is this plac e? Why am I being here? I don't know why I'm here? Where am I?

Oppa I'm scared Where is this place? Where am I? How can I go home?...

Where am I?

Oppa CHAPTER 15 WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN

Rain started to fall outside and it was now darken.

But she hadn't come back and was nowhere to find in the house.

Min Ho tried to reach her by the phone but then they found that her cell phone w as left on the rooftop room's floor.

I'll go out to find her Min Ho said, running out to the house's main door. But his arm was kept strongly by his father in laws' hand.

The grip was even tighter when Min Ho turned around and their eyes met.

What happened, Min Ho? Can you tell me what happened with her recently? Is there anything wrong and you guys are hiding it from me?

His heart stopped like forever when he saw the fear and desperate in her father's eyes, these eyes they were the same as his when he looked at the doctor waiting f or his answer, waiting for the doctor to tell him the reason why he wanted the t wo of them to go to the hospital and have the re-checkup again 2 months ago.

At that time, Min Ho has the same fear and desperation as his father in laws, th e invisible fear that could eat every of his cell up and prevent the blood in hi s veils from going, the fear and desperate of that worst thing, the thing that t hey never wanted to happen again.

The syndrome that once took Sulli's memory away and made them nearly lost her beca use of it.

I'm going out to find Ssul, father I'll talk to you later Min Ho said, his deep yet war voice tried to assure her father that his daughter was alright, and he was goin g to find her.

Rain kept on pouring.

And Min Ho's wife was still nowhere to find.

He ran down the street with the umbrella in his hand, his heart was pounding so hard that he couldn't even breathe normally.

Ssul Where are you? Please Ssul, where are you?

The fear covered his mind.

What if, what if it's no way that she's losing her memory again?... Is she losing her memory again?... He ran into the park, it was still raining heavily, pouring like all the cloud u p there wanted to flood up the ground, and the painful heart of his.

Baby ah, you told Mommy you would protect her, right? So please hold on to her, p lease stay with her and protect her, Daddy is looking for you and Mommy, can you please help me find you two? Can you please help me find the place where the tw o of you are waiting for me to come? Min Ho whispered desperately in the rain, hi s hands shook.

And here came the slow motion film showed up in front of his eyes whenever he pa ssed by the single small corner of the park.

It was the park where they were grown up together.

The place where they came together every afternoon, where Min Ho would give Sull i his school bag and ran to the yard to play football with his friends freely.

The place where Sulli would sit there on a park bench with a strawberry ice crea m on her hand, watching him played football.

The place where Min Ho found out his heart skipped a beat lifting up his head an d saw her bright smiles whenever he scored the goal, the place where he realized how much he loved those sunshine like smiles and the winking like eyes when she smiled.

The place where he took her to everyday and teach her to remember his name, reme mber him again after her treatment.

The place where he promised her that no matter what happened, he would find the way to keep her memory, the place where she promised him that he would never for get him again.

The place where he kept it as his own heaven post, where he kept those letters w ritten to her but never sent.

What if she lost her memory again? What if she forgot him again What if?

If it happened, would she be able to gain the memory back? Could she take it bac k like the last time?

Was he lucky like the last time?

If it happened again, would it be just in a moment like the last time?

If it happened again, would he be lucky enough as the last two times?

Yeah, actually if it happened again, it would be the third time she lost her mem ory, not the second time.

And Min Ho was afraid that whether he was that lucky as the last time or not, wh ether he could hide it from her and left her unknowingly about the fact that she was once taken by the syndrome again, 2 years ago.

He was too scared of it too scared

He tried to look for her through the raining screen, he ran here and there callin g out her name

And he nearly gave up on looking in the park, until

Until

He saw her huddled herself up in the small corner of the porch proof near a tree , their wising tree, the tree where he buried his post box.

He stood there like a statue, seeing her tremble like a small lonely bird. His h eart ached He knew it, he just knew it looking at her like this

It happened, it was back that syndrome

Again.

*Flashback*

3 years ago.

Hey, but the rumor is spreading all over the school, Romeo This is sort of the hot test issue in our boring college life, Min Ho The steamy relationship between you and that beautiful noona Yo, man And, by the way Look, I think that noona is hot, isn't she? Jong Hyun smirked at Min Ho, his eyes were following every single step o f the pretty girl who was entering the cafeteria's entrance.

Yeah, being paired up with her in a dance performance last year as her rapper and this year in a latin dance like that, Min Ho You're now the enemy of all the guys in school Onew rolled his eyes, jostling Min Ho's elbow, his fingers were busily kee ping the chicken legs.

Don't talk about her like that, dude! Min Ho said flatly

See, Key, I told ya, now that he even officially protect her in front of us Jong Hy un overjoyedly announced, he thought he had just put Min Ho in his trap to admit the smoky relationship between him and that pretty noona.

Stop that, Dino We're just sunbae and hoobae And, moreover Min Ho offensed but soon be ng cut by Jong Hyun again.

Psssss But if you just keep on wearing that bracelet on your wrist, other people w ho don't know about it as the lucky gift from our School Art Club may think it is your couple bracelet with her. Me myself sometimes assume that seeing you wearin g it too frequently Even though I have the same as yours Are you guys using it as your couple stuff in disguise and for hiding something from us?

Yuri noona likes you, Min Ho Key suddenly said after keeping his long silence durin g the teasing the other two gave him.

What? Min Ho raised his eye brows

I said, she liked you, Yuri noona liked you I can tell it, just assuming by the wa y she looks at you, sooner or later, she will confess to you These days, you have been hanging out with Tae Yeon noona, Yuri's best friend so much, she even posted a picture of you two chit - chatting and doing silly thing together on her blo g, I think she had already told you about her bestie's feeling towards you? Key sai d flatly, he didn't even bother to looked up at him, his eyes were sticking on the fashion magazine.

It's not like that, Ki Bum Nothing would happen between us Min Ho bit his lips, nervou sly looking outside the cafeteria windows as if he was searching for someone.

Are you looking for her? Key turned his head to looked at Min Ho's eyes direction, a nd then he sighed Stop pretending to be her babysitter Min Ho, she's now grown up, she can be alone by herself, and if you can't not help yourself staying here witho ut her, why don't you just rag your butt outta here and rush out to say the thing you should have told her in the Party 6 months ago? Helpless, you're helpless, Min Ho

It's not like that, Ki Bum

Key nearly blurted out something, but then his phone suddenly rang.

Yes, Tae Yeon noona, yes he's here with us You can't reach him by his phone? Yes, he ma y leave it at home Ok, I'll hand him the phone now Key passed his phone to Min Ho, mo uthing Tae Yeon noona

Yes, noona, I left it at home I'm going now Ok, see you I'm going now, please take care the thing I'm going now Min Ho threw back the call phone to Key and grabbed his bag w ithout saying anything.

He ran down stairs leaving the 3 guys puzzled

Ya, Min Ho!!!!! What happened????? - Jjong shouted after him, but he didn't answer back.

She was laying there on Tae Yeon noona's bed, sleeping soundly her face was pure li ke an angel sleeping on those bunch of cloud.

Min Ho came closer and sat down on the edge of the bed.

After watching your performance last night at the school festival, as our promise , Tiffany and I took her to our dorm, it's been a long time we haven't hang out toge ther with her since the day the two of us go the college and rarely get back hom e Tiffany said she missed the days when we were together in the Art and designer Class And she missed Sulli so much, so last night was our pajama night She was no normal until leaving the school, but then I heard her cried when I woke up at th e midnight, and I was so scared that when I woke her up and asked her what happe ned and you know what, her answer is Where am I? Why am I being here? Goshh, I'm too scared of that, it was over midnight, so Fany and I just comforted her and thank s God, she could remember us Min Ho, it's been a long time, I don't know but is there any chance that her syndrome is back?

*End of flashback*

Last time, when Sulli woke up in Tae Yeon's room, it was a miracle that Sulli coul

d get back her memory and didn't aware anything about the short losing memory even t. Last time, Tae Yeon noona and he decided not to tell her about what had happe ned.

But this time

Min Ho came closer and bow down to hug his wife

Sulli smiled at him weakly then sweep off her tears, she looked up to see his fa ce then buried her head in his chest but then she cried again, asking him

Oppa, did you come? I think you won't come But oppa, I don't know why I am here I don't k now this place Oppa, why can't I remember anything? I'm scared oppa

Min Ho tightly embraced her in his arms, he kissed her head ans softly said, tho ugh his voice was shaking from the pain

It's ok Ssul, oppa is here, oppa is here it's ok if you can't remember anything I'm here, o, don't worry Oppa is here with you

It hurt him so bad seeing her like this

He was right, it was now back That syndrome

3 years ago, the apple and all the things he and Onew hyung prepared on the part y night was all Tae Yeon noona ideas Being our Ssul baby's man You should buy her flowers and hold her hand Should give her all your hours when you has the chance Take her to every party cause maybe she is a little bit clumsy but I tell you, s he loves dancing

And when Min Ho got jealous with Hee Chul being paired up to sing a duet with Su lli, instead of him who was chosen to dance with Yuri noona in her performance, she told him Now your baby is dancing and singing, but she's dancing with another man Grab your

chance, boy Go get her back She told him maybe Sulli lost his memory for a short time like this just so norm al, and he didn't have to worry

But this time What about this time?

Min Ho helped her to stand up He smiled gently and kissed her lips

It's gonna be alright Ssul Let's just go home, everything is fine Oppa is here Our baby is a good baby right? Baby, thank you, you took care of Mommy so well

Then he got stunned and frozen seeing the thing in between her legs

Red

Blood

The blood It was running down her legs

Blood

She was bleeding CHAPTER 16 A THOUSAND YEARS

I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

He stood there and, looked at her sleeping face. She was pale, but at peace.

He knew, at peace.

Something stung at his heart when an old scene showing up in front of his eyes. This was the same as that night, the night 8 years ago, when he rushed to the ho spital breathlessly hearing that she had passed out and fell into comma. That ni ght he thought he would die, he couldn't believe it when the doctor said they shou ld prepare to bring her home, and had some last time with her.

He couldn't believe it.

She had taken all of her memory, she even already remembered who he was, but the n they told him she was dying, how could he believe it?

And he was left with her alone in the room.

This scene was the same as if he had the dej vu for their own future. With her, alone in the hospital room.

She was laying there, eyes closing those people who didn't aware of her condition m ight think that she was sleeping.

But

She was not.

She was in comma.

*Flashback*

Then he got stunned and frozen seeing the thing in between her legs

Red

Blood

The blood It was running down her legs

Blood

She was bleeding

I'm bleeding Oppa, I'm scared What happened with me? Why am I bleeding like hell? Oppa it hurts, it hurt like hell here

I'm so sorry Min Ho ssi, but we think it's the time, you should decide it fast Your wi fe's life depends on this...

Baby ah, thank you Daddy loves you Baby ah, thank you for saving Mommy

Tears fell down from the corner of his eyes, he made the decision, and now

His world turned upside down

Sulli was sitting on the edge of her bed, her hands cupping the old Teddy bear.

Rain was pouring outside.

She lifted up one finger to trace a line on the window, then she gulped down and touch her own belly.

Her mind got blanked.

And the pain started to hurt her, again. Every single neutral line of her starte d to make her tremble, again.

Holding her heart, Sulli fell on the floor and cried out like there was no tomor row for her, like if she didn't cry, she would never hold back her breath and migh t leave this world in just one moment.

Ssul

Min Ho gripped her shoulders, his eyes glowed with fear He rushed over to her, ho lding her wrist

Are you alright Ssul? Are you alright? Does it hurt you? Where does it hurt? Are you feeling unwell? Ssul, look at me, what's wrong?

Sulli didn't answer him, she just cried and struggled to push him away.

Let me go, let me go She started to beat his chest, her voice broke in pain.

What's wrong, Ssul? What's wrong? I'll call your Mom for you, ok? You don't know me? Ok, Ssul, oppa will call your Mom Don't hurt yourself, pleaseCalm down, Ssul, please, I beg you What's wrong? Min Ho folded his wife in his arm, trying to calm the crying g irl in his embrace.

Let me go She said in a broken breath.

I'll call your Mom I promise, Ssul I'll leave, but... Just tell me where does it hurt? Does it hurt you somewhere Min Ho cupped her face, his hands shook.

She frowned in tiring, she shook her head, gulping

Really?... Ok then, I'll call your Mom

Don't touch me, Min Ho oppa I'm a bad mother, I'm a bad wife I'm a bad person Don't touch

Min Ho oppa She looked up, with her teary eyes

You you know me?... You call me oppa? You know me Min Ho oppa? Min Ho touched her fa ce, looking at her with his big brown eyes

It's my fault, oppa for not protecting our baby I'm a bad mother

A tear slipped down for the corner of his eye, his mind was all empty, Min ho r eached out his arms to hug Sulli tight. His wife was back, now she was back, sh e was now back, and she could remember him, she could even remember everything, but all those things

I'm a bad mother No, Ssul I'm sorry for let you struggle by yourself I'm that bad father and husband

Oppa, have I told you that I hate rain? She asked, squirming in his arms.

I told you, Ssul, don't you hate it

I hate it, I hate rain You refuse me in a heavy rainy day, and I lost it, on a hea vy rainy day, too

Don't hate rain, baby

Why?

What if I'm the rain? Min Ho caressed her cheeks, not realizing there was a little b it weird in her eyes

Then, should I love it, when you're rain She murmured and those beautiful eyes of her s slowly closed, her grip on his hands loosened.

Ssul???

Choi Sulli!!!!

*End of flashback*

The little boy laughed cheerfully, he was dancing around a table, the old man lo oked at him, smiling.

She just stood outside of the white hedge and looked inside the garden.

Do you want to join, dear? The old woman opened the white gate for her, she smiled , her eyes sparkled.

She sat on a chair and got stunned when the little boy ran to her with a bunch o f pinky wild roses in his hands.

My great grandpa told me to give this to you, he told me you're the bravest woman i n this world The boy smiled at her blushing face, pointing his tiny finger towards the old man and the old woman.

They were both smiling.

My great grandma asked that if you want to come with them? Come with us?

Min Ho touched her face, his mother told him she was just sleeping, like the Sle eping Beauty, and she told him to think like that

She was just having a long sleep Let it be, son Her father gripped his shoulder and left.

He was now alone with her in the room.

He came closer.

Touching her face.

You're the bravest woman in this world, Sulli You knows everything But you don't know t his I have died everyday waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I'll love you for a thousand more

I love you, Choi Sulli

I love you

I love you

He whispered softly and planted a kiss on her dried lips, claiming them was his.

Until

He heard that sound

The sound came into his mind and made his heart skip a beat.

Min Ho turned his head towards the small cradle beside his wife's bed.

The baby inside wriggled, stretching his tiny little hands,

And the baby began to cried, louder, and louder.

Min Ho smiled, he left the bed and came over to take the baby out into his hand.

Hi, baby boy, are you hungry? Daddy will feed you now Did you sleep well? Baby boy don't cry Daddy is here Don't cry

Yeah, our Min Ho is a very living Daddy, he looked at the baby and planted a sof ted kiss on his forehead.

Yeah, you're right, he wasn't left alone in the room with his wife, but also with th e baby.

Their baby boy.

Choi Yoo Geun.

*Flashback*

She had fallen into comma again Min Ho ssi

How about our baby?

Will you come with us? Princess Mommy? The little boy asked her, but she couldn't a nswer Come with them?

Yeah, Princess Mommy Will you?

Someone is holding me back, grandmaWho is that person? I can'y remember him, but it's like I can't leave him? Grandma

The old woman just looked at her and then she smiled, holding her husband's hand

Let your heart decide, my dear Sulli Remember what I told you? Let your heart deci de And you, my little cutie pie great grandson You're with her, you're your Mommy You're his baby boy

Princess Mommy I know who he is

You know?

Euhm He's Daddy CHAPTER 17

THE CALL

It started out as a feeling Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet thought Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder Til it was a battle cry I'll come back When you call me No need to say goodbye

She was standing in a garden, around her were a lot of kind of flowers. They wer e all bloomed and sent out that kind of floral scent. She looked around and foun d a clump of white chrysanthemum, a strong desire built up in her stomach which guided her to come over the white hedge where those flowers were, slowly she wal ked towards them and her hand reached out to touch the nearest one.

As soon as her finger touched the flower's tiny petal, suddenly her mind was blown up with a scene in which she saw the two kids on a green field.

She was there, sitting on a wooden swing which was hung up by the big branch of the huge tree.

The tall boy with those big brown eyes came towards her, a huge bunch of white c hrysanthemum in his arms. The boys smiled brightly, his eyes sparkled. Her heart skipped a beat looking into his eyes, a butterfly wave brimmed up from her stom ach.

The boy looked so familiar.

His eyes.

His smiled.

His figure.

She was still sitting on the swing, her breath became uneven Why am I feeling lik e this? Who is this boy? Why is he looking so familiar? Every time I look into h is eyes, my heart beat faster as if it recognizes its old friend No, as if my hea rt recognized its missing part Why am I being like this?

The boy came across the swing as if he didn't see her. He smilingly continued his happy steps as he went up the hill and started waving. She turned her head towar

ds his waving direction and found across the tree was standing a young pretty gi rl in a pink pastel dress.

The girl waved back at the boy as she ran towards him.

The sunset ray opposing behind her, then she saw all the flowers behind the girl bloomed in just one moment.

The girl came closer and when she called Oppa! Min Ho oppa!, she felt like her hea rt nearly jumped out of her chest. She starred down at the two kids, holding her breath in every second. The light around them became brighter, it even made her hard to see clearly.

The boy smiled brightly, he gave all of those white chrysanthemums to the girl a s he grinning near her face, his hand touched her tiny nose and she heard him wh ispered Sulli! You're back You're really back! You remember me, don't you? You know me, don't you?

She traced down the girl's face.

Every single feature on that young pretty girl's face made her heart sank in joy. She could feel how her heart beat in fast and eagerness as it realized the girl.

I know her, I know this girl I just can't remember who she is. I know her. My heart knows her. My soul realizes her. I know her. She whispered desperately to herself

The girl lifted up her head to look at the boy's face and with a gesture of loving , she kissed his cheek and said I know you, of course I know you, you are Min Ho oppa, my oppa, you are Choi Min Ho, Jin Ri's Choi Min Ho

You're really back?

The girl smiled mischievously as she tiptoed and planted another soft kiss on th e boy's cheek again and answered him I'll come backWhen you call me No need to say goodbye

She closed her eyes and when she opened them again, she found herself back in th e garden previously and there was a gentle and upright old woman standing there,

watering the rose bush near the white gate of the garden.

She held the dropped white chrysanthemum that fell on the ground from the tall b oy's at the hill where she met the two kids tightly in her palm.

The old woman turned her head and their eyes met.

Good morning, sweetheart. How are you? I'm waiting for you She smiled, giving her a ge sture to come closer.

Good morning She looked around nervously, trying to figure out who the old woman wa s, she was a stranger to her, but deep in her heart, she knew it, she knew her h ear knew this woman, she knew her heart remember who she was, as it was now full of love and intimacy with the smiling woman.

Have you met them, sweetheart?

Who? Do you mean those two kids? She asked, hesitated to take the woman's hand

Yeah, those two cutie

I don't know them, but they're familiar, I feel like my heart, my heart realizes them Who are they? Why did I meet them?

Now, it's time, dear It's time for you to go back the old woman guided her to the white gate, slowly and gently, her voice was so calm and deep that made her feel at ea sy and be loved.

Go back? Where? She confused, her steps were so closed to the edge of the gate and the outside land.

Do you remember what the girl said? The woman smiled, rubbing her hands

She said, I'll come backWhen you call meNo need to say goodbye She answered, her mind was actually full of those words after seeing them at the field.

Do you remember the boy's name?

I heard the girl call him Min Ho, Choi Min Ho

He's calling for you, as your promise, dear It's time to go back, you'll come back, when he calls you

Who is he?

You'll know soon, dear Just remember this You have to remember this Just because every thing's changing, doesn't mean it's never been this way before. Pick a star on t he dark horizon and follow the light. Now we're back to the beginning. It's just a feeling and no one knows yet. But just because they can't feel it too doesn't mean that you have to forget. Let your memories grow stronger and stronger til they're before your eyes. You'll come back when they call you. No need to say go od bye.

Can you hear the voice?

He's calling for you, they are calling for you. Now, it's time for you to go back, d ear

Who are you? Why don't you go with me?

Me? Just remember I love you, Sulli That's all I can tell Go, and start over, it's time for you to go I love you

Then the gate opened and a flash light shine straight into her eyes, a voice cam e into her mind, softly, yet lovingly

I have die every day waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have love you for a thousand years, I would love you for a thousand more

I love you, Ssul

I love you

I love you

Me? I'm your Grandma Be happy and good luck, my dear I love you, too Goodbye, my dear Princess

The voice grew stronger and clearer as she could figure out a deep warm voice sa ying up above in the air, she took a deep breath and tried to open her eyes, but all she could see was a blur white light and it soon made her fall asleep again . The only thing she could remember was someone saying in a deep warm tone.

If it is, I will make her fall in love with me again I will make my wife fall for me again.

She slowly opened her eyes as she felt like her lungs were longing for some fres h air. Her two eyes heavily snapped opened as she slowly realized the light thro ugh her opening eyelids.

Something murmured beside her ears and she getting anxious hearing footsteps tha t were in hurry, and she know people were running here and there around her.

Her heart beat faster, faster and faster as she heard someone called her name.

Then her half deaf ears were back consciously hearing a soft shaking voice besid e her - Sulli, Sulli, are you back? Can you hear me, my dear? Oh my God, my daug hter is getting back in her consciousness Dr. Kim, can you see that? She's opening her eyes And that feminine voice came with sobbing, hard and broken - She'd back, my d aughter is back, thanks God, she's back

Her blur vision became clearer a little bit.

She thought her heart was crazy as it beat in a furious speed, her eyes opened w ider to see people around her, crying, smiling, sobbing.

Until

Her heart skipped a beat and nearly stopped as she heard a small voice crying so mewhere in the white room.

That voice made her heart stopped instantly.

He vision became clear tight away after hearing the voice.

A crying voice.

A baby crying voice.

She tried to turned her head towards that voice direction.

That was the only voice now could draw her attention, but her head was so stubbo rn, she felt like she was going to cry when the crying voice became louder, it h urt her hard hearing it.

She just wanted to stand up, she knew it was from a baby, a baby was crying near her. She knew it. Her heart sank and it tortured her. She wanted to hold the ba by, she wanted to comfort the baby She knew her heart realized that tiny voice But she couldn't do anything, she struggled to do something, to reach for the baby bu t her body wouldn't listen to her. She got mad as her painful heart beat faster an d faster.

She wanted to come to the baby.

She knew it was a baby.

She struggled, harder and harder. But no help.

Her tears started to formed at the corner of her eyes, and they streamed uncontr ollably down of her cheeks, her vision got blur again.

She couldn't stand the pain anymore. She couldn't breathe hearing the baby crying.

And she stopped as she felt the baby was nearer, those murmuring sounds around h er became lower.

Then she heard the foot step come, closer and closer. And the baby stopped cryin g.

She turned her head and made her eyes open as wide as she could.

And her eyes met two big brown eyes looking down on her, her breath became uneve n again

Those two eyes

A voice whispered close to her face, she could even felt the warm breathe from t he man with those two big brown eyes with the baby in his arms, her eyes couldn't see that clear, but her heart was jumping inside her heart with its joyful dance , she didn't know this man, but she knew her hear realized him. Her vision was sti ll blur, until she heard those words Welcome back, Ssul Yoo Geun ah, you are so sm art, waking up right away when you know Mommy is back

She didn't know how could these things could happen.

She was awaked from a comma and they told her her name was Choi Jin Ri, they cal led her Choi Sulli.

She was still kept on the bed as they told her her condition was not good enough and she needed to be kept under control.

They told her so many things. But the only thing that could make her mind rememb er was she had lost her memory, she was back from a 4 months of unconsciousness. And her name was Choi Sulli. Her brain hadn't been that good to catch information . The other thing that was still in her mind was a man, a young man, she knew he was there in the room, but he had never said anything to her, their eyes met so metime, and she knew her heart melt inside whenever she lost into his gaze, but they never talk, he just smiled and came everyday just to ruffle her hair. Se ke pt on wondering who that guy was, but she never asked him. Her mind was still we ak to react to the other people.

She slowly opened her eyes and turned her head side by side.

She was alone in the room.

Then they captured a figure nearby, she could saw a baby in a small cradle besid e her bed.

She didn't know why but feeling the urge of coming closer to the baby.

Why did they put a baby inside my room and kept him close to me for such a long t ime? Whenever I'm awake from my sleep, I can see my mother, yeah, I'm happy that gen tle and beautiful woman who takes care of me these days is my mother and the baby Whenever I see the baby, my heart beats in joy and my hands tickling trying to r each for him. It's a baby boy, my mom told me But why is he being here with me?

She slowly sat up and reached her hand to pull the cradle closer Closer and close r until she could see the baby's face.

He's so lovely And he's sleeping soundly

She gulped down to seek for the baby smell and her finger instinctively caressin g his face Loving feeling fulfilled her heart as she felt the baby skin.

She didn't know why but her tears started to fall again, she held her breathe and touched the tiny hand of the baby, she cried and smiled at the same time, seeing the baby sleep peacefully.

And suddenly, her hear skipped a beat as a familiar deep warm voice came right b eside her ear.

He's a lovely baby boy, right?

She got starled at that sudden voice, her tiny heart beat crazily and as expecte d, she lost her balance, she nearly fell down of the bed when a strong arm reach ed for her and held her tight.

She took a deep breathe, calm down herself, throwing a look towards the cradle a nd signed in relief when she knew the baby was still sleeping after some clumsy sounds she had made.

Then her cheeks turned red as she realized she was still in the guy's arms.

She pulled out a little bit and he let her go, smiling.

She felt like her face was burning under his look.

Stop staring at me, I feel uneasy with that Sulli shyly mumble in her mouth, but sh e guessed that guy could hear her.

Ok, you're easy getting shy under my eyes, as always the guy declared and he turned a round to took the baby out of the cradle

Sulli looked at him and showed an innocent smile behind his back, she didn't know why she had this warm feeling when she saw this man reach for the baby and hold him in his arms.

She intended to erase as soon as the man turned around again, but he got her, wh o was sitting on the bed and smiled towards him.

He smiled back and sat down at the edge of her bed. His gentle eyes melted her h eart.

Can I Can I touch the baby? She asked in a low tone, she still felt shy in front of

him.

Do you want to hold him? The guy asked her, smiling, he bended his body closer to her, she now could felt his breathe, and she blushed upon that.

Can I?

Of course you can He would love that And he gave her the baby

A single tear fell down on her cheeks when the baby was already in her arms, her hands shook, her mind was blown up with her unexplained feeling.

She felt two hands cup her face and a thumb sweep her tears, she looked up and h er eyes met those two big brown eyes, he smiled at her, warmly and sweetly.

Baby, don't cry

She just nodded at his words and kept on starring at his handsome face with the baby in her arms.

He moved closer and wrapped her in his arms, whispering beside her ears it's ok now Ssul, it's ok now, you're back and I'm here for you

A strong yet warm feeling covered her body earing his voice, she laid her head o n his shoulder and sobbed softly.

After a few minutes, he pulled out, his hand caressed her face He starred down on her with his sweet daze.

He's so handsome, I think I had a crush on him

Wae? Am I that handsome that you keep on looking at me like this? Have you fallen for me in just a few minute Miss Choi?

Who who say that who say I fall for you? Her red face struggled to turned away form h im, but she was not as fast as the handsome guy.

He cup her face again and leaned closer to plant a kiss on her lips, her heart a lmost stopped beating at the sudden event.

She pulled away in shock, her eyes widened Who who are you to kiss me? Who are you? I know you're close to my family as my Mom kept you here always but but who are yo u to kiss me?

It's ok, Miss Sulli Yoo Geun is used to it whenever I kiss you The guy smiled down at the baby in her arms, a mischievous glint flashed in his hair.

And by the way, in case you want to call me, my name is Choi Min Ho I'm Yoo Geun's Dad dy And I'm your Min Ho oppa He said, amusement covered his handsome face as he realiz ed Sulli blushed at his statement.

Then he leaned fast again and planted another kiss on her lips.

Excuse me, can I disturb you for a moment Mr. and Mrs. Choi? A giggling voice rais ed up at the entrance of her room

I'm sorry for barging in at such an event like this Dr. Kim amusingly said at the two blushing couple I've knocked on the door but no one answers and I have no choice b ut to come without your acceptance Min Ho ssi, Have I told you to slower the pace ? Your wife is still in weak condition?

Min Ho faked a cough as he sat up and mouth over the doctor Ya, stop that

Dr. Kim shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to signal someone come in As I told you before, we have found a specialist in this field to help Mrs. Choi at her treatment, this is specialist Kwon Dr. Kwon Yuri

Wife? He called me his wife? Choi Min Ho's wife?

Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light. Now we're back to the beginning.

It's just a feeling and no one knows yet. But just because they can't feel it too doesn't mean that you have to forget. CHAPTER 18

FALLING SLOWLY

Unnie!!!!!

She cheerfully yelled as she saw a beautiful young woman push a baby carrier thr ough her room door.

Shhhhhh, baby, be quiet, Yoo Geun is sleeping The young lady put her finger on her l ips, smiling back at her and kept pushing the baby carrier inside, her eyes land ed on the baby who was sleeping soundly on Sulli's arms.

Sulli smiled sheepishly, she looked down on her baby in her arms and started pat ting softly on the baby boy.

Sorry, Yoo Geun She whispered as she carefully caressing the baby cheek.

He's really lovely, rite? How is it to be a mother, Sulli?

I I don't know A mother? I haven't used to it I just can't imagine that Yoo Geun is my ba y son and I'm I'm a mother I I love Yoo Geun but, being his mother I don't know unnie weird And I still haven't recover yet, I haven't remember anything Will I be a good m other? Can I be a mother to Yoo Geun? She asked, tears started to form at the cor ner of her eyes.

It was 1 month from the day Sulli became conscious again, her condition was bett er, much more better than the doctors' prediction, and even on the day she was dis charged from the hospital 3 days ago, they kept on telling her that she was a mi racle, a miracle that they had never had a chance to witness in their lives. Alt hough she hadn't recover her memory yet, she hadn't remember anything from her past yet, she was still tols that who she was, what her name was and who she was in t his world.

She was Choi Jin Ri.

They called her Sulli.

She had family.

And the most important thing that made her confuse and feel uneasy was that she was married.

She was a mother. She gave birth to her baby while she was being in a comma.

And of course, being a mother, she even had a husband.

His name was Choi Min Ho.

She didn't know him. Yeah, she didn't know anyone, she just knew they were her famil y, they were her friends, but that was all they told her about.

Doctor Kwon, now she told her to call her Yuri unnie, was her psychologist consu ltant said that the was working on the process of helping her and gave her the treatment on her condition of losing memory, but she also stated that, they coul dn't estimate the accurate time for her recovering process.

The treatment was going to be proceeded.

But they couldn't tell when it would be ended and how long it would take.

6 months?

1 years?

2 years?

Or forever?

They couldn't tell.

Or she may never remember anything from the past.

Min Ho told her that it was alright if there was no ability for her to remember. At least she had come back and now, she had a new life, why shoudn't she just liv e her live and carry on instead of longing and waiting for the past?

Min Ho.

Talking about him.

He was her husband, everybody told her the same. Was it the reason why her heart always beat like crazy whenever she saw him? Was it the reason why she sheepish ly smiled at the scene of him taking care and holding Yoo Geun in his arms, but whenever he came closer to her, she always felt uneasy and wanted to escape from his graze?

She couldn't explain her feeling towards him.

When they told her I'm your mom, Sulli, I'm your mom She believe them.

When they told her I'm your sister, your closest friend She believe them.

When this beautiful lady came and told her I'm Seo Hyun unnie, your beloved and fav orite unnie She believed her.

But when it came to him, Choi Min Ho, she always felt something different. Somet hing that kept brimming from her stomach, her heart, her mind and even the losin g memory of her, something that unexplainable.

Was it because the feeling and the relationship between them was different from the other people? Husband and wife? Was it just too special that to a person who had just come back from the other side of life, she couldn't understand it?

She had a baby, she could easily feel the love for him, she could easily felt he r heart jump in joy as she saw Yoo Geun sleep, she knew, deep from her heart, sh e believe she was truly a mother. She knew the love she had for the baby. It was instinctive. That love was instinctive being a mother.

But for the love with Min Ho?

Did she love him?

Before she fell into comma, did she love him? She never had a chance to ask him how was her life as his life, but she was very curious, did she love him?

And what she was feeling now, was it called love?

Did she love him?

And what was the love, if it was?

I know, Sulli, you need time, don't push yourself too much about this, at least you are now in a good and healthy condition Don't worry, I know you will be a good mot her to Yoo Geun, whenever you're here and he is in your arms, he would stop crying right away and smile an angel See? He even smiles in his dream? Seo Hyun smiled a nd gently patted on her shoulder, her took Sulli's hand and caress it, she knew th is girl was the most miraculous person in the world.

How how about your baby? She's not like Yoo Geun, Yoo Geun cries when my mother feed him, but I have never seen your baby cries out loud as mine Sulli asked, she lovi ngly looked at the baby in the carrier

She does, my Ssul baby, she does whenever her Dad feeds her She loves to be in my arms and being fed by breast milk than those baby milk Seo Hyun laugh softly, happ iness was full in her eyes.

Really? That That means you feed her by your breast milk? Sulli's cheeks became pink, she knew it, but she never tried it, because they told her her condition was not allow her to feed the baby, so they feed him the baby powder milk, and they ass ured her that Yoo Geun was used to it, but she hadn't told them, she was in troubl

e now.

Of course, Ssul Aigoo, don't be shy at it Seo Hyun smiled as she realized Sulli was bl ushing just because you are not used to it doesn't mean that you can't do it, your he alth is recovering in a very good speed, it just takes time, and now maybe the c ondition doesn't allow you to feed your own baby but one day, I think you will hav e the chance

Sulli just nodded and then, she breathed deeply to talk about her trouble that s he hadn't had the bravery to tell anybody else, even her mother, she didn't know why , but she felt at easy with Seo Hyun, and she knew she could trust her.

Unnie I I think I'm in trouble She said a lower tone, which made Seo Hyun worried.

What's up? Does it hurt you somewhere?

No, unnie it's just, just my my breasts Sulli answered in a very shy voice

Your breasts?

Uhm, unnie my breasts, they are weird these days, especially for the past 3 days Th ey are so weird, sometimes I can even feel it too hard that it hurt me I don't know why

Did you tell your mother about this?

No, unnie

How about Yuri? Have you tell her about the things Seo Hyun asked in concern

No, I think she is only my psychologist so I didn't tell her I mean, I think you can help

Me?

Unnie, I I think I has just seen some white liquid coming from my two breasts, and a nd you know, I even has to cover it by some tissue Sulli shyly mumbled as her hand s came under her blouse and get out some tissue that were all wet.

Oh my God, Ssul, why didn't you tell me earlier? Seo Hyun excitedly exclaimed while she furiously moved closer and started checking on those tissues.

Unnie is it

Yeah, of course, this is breast milk oh my gosh, Sulli, your body is coming back t o its normal condition of a young mother who has just given birth This is breast milk And your body is coming to its normal track now, you're recovering so fast, Ss ul

Really But how about the state of my breasts, is it normal when I feel hurt someti mes?

Aigoo, you feel hurt because you cannot use it to feed your baby, so it becomes h arder and makes you suffer, let me check on you

Sulli just nodded as Seo Hyun unbuttoedn her blouse and started checking on her both breasts.

Then she smiled playfully as she touched them and said Ssul, do you want to try it?

Try what unnie?

Try to feed your baby

Can can I?

Of course, you can give it a little try Seo Hyun happily said as she exposed her two breasts by unbuttoning all the upper buttons and slowly guided Sulli to moved Y oo Geun higher, he's now awake and opened his two big eyes looking at his nervous mother

Take it slow Ssul, you'll get used to it soon Seo Hyun gently helped her out and assu red that it was alright being like this

What are you two doing?

A deep warm voice raised up from behind of Seo Hyun making the two ladies startl ed at it They were so busy with the feeding job to the baby that they even didn't a ware that someone had just come and moved so close to them.

Sulli froze at that familiar voice.

She was too stunned that her mind didn't catch up with what had just happened and then she lost her reflection at this kind of event in which normally she should pull her blouse up or at least try to cover her exposing upper body.

She didn't to anything.

And of course, the young daddy known as her husband could easily saw everything that her blouse didn't have the chance to cover for her.

Seo Hyun got stunned too, but then her scare soon turned into a giddy mood and s he just giggled turning around to get her now awakening crying baby out of the c arrier.

Ahh Ji Min is awake, Ji Min is awake, are you hungry? Oopps, your diaper is wer al ready, let Mommy change it for you And she went out of the room, leaving the two b ehind with a mischievous smile.

Stopppppp starring at me.!!!!! Sulli was now fully aware of her situation and start ed to pull up her blouse to cover her breasts. She was blushing like hell.

She couldn't even think straight.

Yoo Geun began to cry as he was pulled out from his feeding and squealed in angr y.

Sulli didn't know what to do, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to com fort Yoo Geun, and her baby cried louder and louder.

Min Ho just smiled as he move closer and it made Sulli blushed more, he leaned d own until his forehead landed on hers, as his hands took Yoo geun out into his a rms, his eyes looked straight into her eyes and he whispered

Why didn't you tell me about this? That your body is coming back to it track?

Don't don't move closer I just just Sulli mumbled as she felt his hot breath on her f r body was in burned. Why can't I?

You shouldn't see it I mean my I mean you

Why shouldn't I? Why can Seo Hyun, but not me? He asked in a husky voice, and it was burning her face.

Because because

I'm your husband remember that? We're already married Even Yoo Geun here gets used to t he way I kiss you

Min Ho moved his face down a little bit as he planted a kiss on her lips and dro pped his last teasing.

And by the way, baby He said as he kissed her wide opened eyes I've seen them before only see I even touch them

Her face turned red at his every single words and her heart started to beat fast when some images unidentified appeared in her mind

The beers the kisses the touches the hugs Someone said I love you

But those one soon faded away as she was aware of Min Ho's graze

What's wrong Ssul?

Not nothing just. Don't tease me I I

Teasing you? When did I?

Sulli didn't answer and she just hopped out of the bed and planned to run into the restroom.

Hey, I tell you the truth Min Ho went after her, not minding of stopping his teasin g on his blushing wife.

Ya, I told you not to tease me!

Sulli suddenly turned around at the same time when Min Ho reached out his one ha nd trying to touch her shoulder and hold her back.

And as we expected, his bad hand landed on the area that his baby son had just cel ebrate his feeding party ealier.

Yaaaaaaaa.!

Sulli shouted after one moment frozen at the sudden event and ran away from Min Ho.

Her husband was stunned at first, but then he started to laugh in amusement, he looked down on his now smiling baby boy and whispered ... Hey, bad boy did you clo se your eyes when Daddy just touch Mommy's treasure? Hey, only 4 month old, you're not supposed to witness this kind on scene, kiss scene is enough, you know I don't want you to be a play boy too soon

Sulli was half asleep on her bed as she felt a warm arms snaked around a waist a nd pulled her closer for a hug.

She turned her head to look clearly as she saw Min Ho who was lying beside her a nd buried his face in her hair.

She blushed at that and tried to push him away but

I miss you, Ssul Can you please saty still for a moment I know you're not used to me here by your side, but this time, I'm not teasing you, just Can you stay still for a moment? I miss you so much If it's not you, I think I can't think straight now

Sulli gave up on her pushing as she felt the sorrow and worrisome in his voice. She stayed still, her back pressed gently on his chest

She could even felt his breath and his heart beat

She closed her eyes and touched his hands softly

Near their bed, Yoo Geun smiled in his dream

Home

*Flashback*

Your son? Noona, you said your son?

YA, Choi Min Ho, you're always the same as years ago I'm your wife's psychologist consul tant, and I don't advise you to shout like this in front of her, it's not good for h er, you know? Yuri snapped as she hurriedly grab her bag and went out of her offi ce's door.

You never told me that you got married and had a baby boy, noona!!!

I didn't

What?

I didn't get married, and it's simple that I have a child, that's all Min Ho

She stopped at the entrance of the door and softly said, her eyes just looked at him emotionlessly.

3 years ago, I met his father, I fell in love with him and we spend a night toget her, but then I realized we were not meant to each other and, so I have Min Seok, on my own, that's all, Min Ho

You

By the way, don't you think that single mom is now a hot trend, little brother? Now I have to go to Min Seok's kindergarten to fetch him Annyeong

Rushing out to the parking lot, a single tear fell form Yuri's cheek, she opened h er car door as she whispered to herself.

Min Seok ah, Mommy sorry, I thought I could find him, and told him that he's your f ather, but I don't know now, Min Seok ah, what should Mommy do?

Three years ago, at the university party, they were all drunk up.

She got her own minding thing.

He had his own matter.

They were all drunk.

It was only one night.

And Min Seok was born after that, 9 months later in Jeju, far away from Seoul an d from his father. CHAPTER 19

JUST GIVE ME A REASON

Right from the start you were a thief, you stole my heart

She woke up because something made her nose itching, then when her mind was full y aware what it was facing, she could smell a very familiar scent near her face.

She lazily opened her two eyes and she knew it was already morning. With the ins tinct of being a young mother, she tended to turn her body to look for her baby son's cradle and once in a while, she realized she was lying in his arms.

Min Ho's arms.

Her husband's arms.

She looked up slowly not wanting to wake him up. He was sleeping soundly, his tw o arms were wrapping her up as if he was afraid she might leave when he loosened the grip.

Not daring to raise her hand, her heart beat faster and faster as her eyes frame d his jawline and every single feature on his face.

You are my hubby, rite Min Ho? Can you just give me the reason why even my mind i s not able to remember anything about you but my heart always beat like crazy wh en I see you like this? Why did I let you sleep beside me and me myself in your a rms like this the whole night? Why?

Sulli silently contemplated the man beside her, admiring his long eyes lashes an d even his warmness that brought her into.

My mind can't tell me anything about our past, but my hear keeps telling me this I'm i n love with you, rite Min Ho? In the past While I was in comma yesterday today and e ven when I forgot you, I still love you, rite?

Yes, right

Her eyes widened in shock as she heard his voice answered back. She was too deep in her thought that she didn't aware that he was already awake and now starring d own on her with his two big brown eyes.

She got too stunned that she didn't bother to blink her eyes.

Yes, I know I'm that handsome, so no need to admire your husband in silent, Ssul The truth is we're married proves that all, that's why you love me Min Ho pulled her close r but he set aside some space between them for him to see his wife's beautiful mor ning face as he whispered softly to her now reddened ears.

He was preparing for a pushing away from Sulli but not like his expectation, his innocent wife just starred back at him and his heart almost jumped out of his h eart when he heard the words coming out from her kissable lips.

My heart knows you

She whispered, pulling back one of her up and put it on the left side of her che st

My heart misses you

Ssul He swallowed hard as he didn't know how to react at this sudden event, he was lo nging for her to reply his effect on bringing her back, but once he was among th e surprising chaos brought from her like this, he lost all of his reaction.

I don't know I can't remember you, I can't I don't know you, my mind tells me that I don't

ow But my heart, I know, my heart knows you

A single tear fell down her cheek as she hugged him softly while her face busily buried to his chest

Will I be able to remember you? And if I don't

You've promised me, Ssul

What did I promise you? Was it before my comma? Her voice was now all wet because she started to sob.

You will never forget me, ever again

But now I do I do forget you

And you even told me on the night I said you should have the abortion, that even if you would forget me, but you will still let your heart remember me To me, that's enough You did it, you struggled to protect Yoo Geun, and you even came back fro m the comma To me, that's enough, even if it costs, even if I have to pay a price f or it, even if it means you'll forget me

You

Don't worry take it slow don't push yourself

What if I remember you, but I won't ever fall for you again?

They were walking along the Han river side, the cherry blossom pastel pink petal s falling around.

It was spring.

The spring of the mother of nature and so was the spring of Sulli after her wint er sleep.

She inhaled the fresh air deeply and felt something anew move through her veins S he was back, truly back with the world excepting from the truth that she still co uldn't remember all of the past.

But Min Ho said it was alright.

And if he said so, she felt at ease with it.

He was walking a little slower behind her, watching over her and Yoo Geun in the baby carrier These days, sometimes a thing came to his mind and it made him a bi t uneasy when he thought of Yuri noona and her son.

Three years ago?

On that night?

Was it on that night?

He remembered that night clearly, that day was the school musical prom night. Yu ri and he, they were paired up for a Latin dance, and Sulli, she was paired up w ith Hee Chul hyung for a duet, ever since the duet with him from her primary sch ooldays, it was her 2nd time singing with a guy

That night, he got so jealous to Hee Chul hyung, that night he got into a fight with Sulli for such a creepy reason in front of their buddies just because he di dn't know how to make an excuse for his jealousy, and Yuri noona, he found her alo ne at the lobby stairs with beers They drank together And Her little Min Seok was b orn on September and counting back to the day Was it true that Was it true that wh at he thought?

Shaking his head to shove away his thought, Min Ho took a sharp inhale as he st epped ahead and bent the left to hold his wife's hand that was slowly pushing the baby carrier.

He gripped her hands tightly and smiled at her blushing face Do you want to find a place to rest, you are walking too much, your condition is good, but you have t o watch out, too

Sulli smiled happily as she saw him turned around to wave at her, who were guide d to sit on a park bench nearby by him and looked her caring husband ran his fas t to find a ministop shop and buy something for her to drink.

She felt her heart melted down as he kissed her cheek and said Oppa will come ba ck soon, stay here, ok?

This guy, her husband, he's a thief

Is he stealing her heart?

Min Ho was back as he sat beside her and took Yoo Geun out from the carrier, he held him in his arms and made some dorky gestures with his baby boy, that immedi ately made the baby smile and laugh out softly. Witnessing all of their father a nd baby boy things, Sulli couldn't help but to join them and laugh her heart out.

He stopped for a while as he took the bottle from Sulli hands and tried to open it for her while his other hand still struggle to hold Yoo Geun

I can do it, you don't have to

I said I can open it by myself You don't have to

Sulli's nagging was cut off by Min Ho lips, as he leaned over and planted a soft k iss on hers with Yoo Geun still in his arms.

Stop nagging, or else I will proceed a more deep kiss He winked and turned his head back to the bottle Yoo Geunie, Mommy is coming back, really, I told you She's back t o that nagging wifey This and that and this and that all the time She talked to the baby who was wide opening his brown eyes excitedly looked at the colorful bottle

And hey, I forget to ask you How is with the feeding job? Are you now comfortable with feeding Yoo Geun? Suddenly Min Ho turned his head to look at her, and his ey es mischievously rolled from her face down to the area under her long sexy neck.

Sulli looked down towards his eyes direction asked she started to blushed like h ell when she realized where he was looking at.

Yaaaaaa!.... Stop teasing me She yelled, slapping hard on his hands.

Min Ho laughed, he loved teasing his innocent wife and to his heart, making her blush was one of his favorite love habbit, he enjoyed it with his whole heart fo r her.

When will you guys plan for the younger sister or younger brother of your baby bo ys? They both looked up and stopped laughing and blushing as hearing the question .

An old caring couple were sitting across them at the opposite bench, the waling lane in the park was small, so they might watch them from the beginning and gues s that they were a young parents couple, the old two smiled playfully as that as ked.

Ne? Sulli blushed again

My husband asked you when would this little cutie will have his little brother or sister? The old beautiful woman said, smiling warmly, her eyes sparkled as they landed on Yoo Geun lovely face.

It's up to my little wife, you know, grandpa She now only focused on our baby, and t o my sadness, she paid less attention to me these days I guess, when her attentio n fully comes back to me, my son will become an older brother as he wished

Min Ho answered and that made the old couple laughed, as the old man stood up an d help his wife stand up to, he came closer and patted on Min Ho's shoulder Young m an, when I was at your age, we already had 4 children It's spring, the most beautif ul an romantic of the year This cutie pie would love it if his younger brother or sister would be born in the next spring, don't you think so?

Min Ho said thank you and elbowed Sulli as the old woman smiled and told Sulli t hat they were so cute together, that might be the reason why Yoo Geun looked so cute and went after the both of them, his parents.

Hey, Ssul

Wae?

What do you think?

About what?

About Yoo Geun younger sister who will be born next spring?

Yaaaaaaaa!

She blushed, as always.

And her heart.

It melted at his smile.

She knew.

Her heart knew him.

Right from the start you were a thief you stole my heart

Call 911 Sulli said with the seriousness full in her eyes

What? Ssul What wrong? His eyes widened at her sudden words.

somebody stole my heart She replied and stood up to rush the baby carrier away attem pting to hide her blushing face from his stunned yet happy eyes

And I, your willing victim

Sulli walked furiously towards the office door as she were very eager to tell he r psychologist that last night, when it was rained outside and she came out to w ait for Min Ho, seeing him wet running out of his car, she thought her mind rrem eber something about him, she thought she could saw something from the past by t hat scene The memory flooded up as she saw her at the bus stop and saw him, all w et She really wanted to tell her about it that she hadn't call her I advance and ju st came right after Yoo Geun was settle with her mom.

She tended to knocked on the door as she heard a familiar voice.

She got stunned

The paper in her hands fell on the floor.

He tried explain it, tried so hard to explain the reason, but he couldn't, he coul dn't interpret the reason behind her coldness.

For the past 5 days, Sulli was like to avoid him.

She hadn't remembered him yet. He knew. But this attitude, even after her comma, s he had never shown him this kind of coldness and avoiding andand the distance

She would never talk to him excepted when she had to answer for something urgent

about Yoo Geun.

He did try to talk to her but every time, she had her own excuses to avoid him. Even he got mad and yelled at her for his frustrating, she would not reply.

She kept her silence.

And he got scared about that.

Ssul, we need to talk!

I'm sleepy, can we talk later? - She replied flatly, even didn't bother to look at him .

Look at me, Ssul I want to talk

I said I'm sleepy besides, Yoo Geun is sleeping, lower your voice

I'm in trouble and I need to talk to you or else I'm gonna be crazy, Ssul

Go talk to Yuri, she might help

What?

She's a psychologist, she might be helpful than me!

Min Ho was so stunned hearing what she said but a thought ran through his mind a s he moved closer and pulled Sulli for a hug

Let me go She gasped, pushing him away

Are you jealous of her? That they told you she was my close noona and we were so

close since the college days, and that talkative Lee Jong Hyun might tell you ab out we being paired up all the time that people started to think us as a couple? Amusement showed clearly in his voice while he held her tiny waist tight.

I'm not jealous!

It shows All over your face He turned her around to kiss her cheeks all over your ion towards me he kissed her hand And it's written in your voice finally, he kis lips.

He pulled out a little bit as he expected her to shout or push him or something. But again, not to his expectation She just looked at him and after a while sudd enly she tiptoed and gave him a deeper kiss, it was even deeper than his previou sly.

He was surprised at first, but then, his heart melted and he pulled her closer, making the kiss more passionate

His lips travelled slowly down to her jawline, then when it became hotter and he buried his face in her neck, and Sulli moaned softly as her two arms wrapped ar ound his nape

Oppa

Min Ho stopped.

His heart skipped a beat.

He stopped nibbled her lower lips as she hear her words.

Say it again!

Say it again, the term you have just use to call me, say it again

She smiled, her eyes pooled up with tears, and she slowly said the words that he was longing for Oppa Min Ho oppa

At that word, Min Ho continued to kiss her, more passionate, sweeter and wetter

Then

His heart stopped a again, as Sulli breathed in between their kiss

You're not Min Seok's father Tell me, you're not his father And I'll trust you

*Flashback*

She intended to knock on the door, but she heard his familiar voice inside and s topped

Noona, is it true? Am I saying the truth? He raised his voice roughly, anger and a nxious was in his every single words

Nothing is true, Min Ho I told you, it's not as you think

Tell me the truth, noona Is it true?

Min Seok is my son, that's all He's mine, only mine He's not your son or even a guy out t here to be his father Go to your wife and take care of her, this is not your busi ness to involve, or even you want to, you're not Min Seok's father to butt in our li fe That's all Yuri shouted back, she was sobbing

And Sulli ran away

*End of flashback*

They were sitting in front of each other, and nervously playing with their finge rs.

Yuri thought Sulli called her here to the cafeteria to discuss about her conditi on, but when she came, she only saw Min Ho there waiting

Did your wife call you to come here, too?

He nodded, simply

Many mixed emotion running through his mind.

Why does she do this?

Yuri unnie!...

Sulli called happily from behind and waved at her.

Yuri anxiously stood up as she heard Sulli voice

How long have you been waiting for me? Sorry I'm late I have to wait for this lazy a nd dorky person to come Hee Chul oppa, this is Yuri unnie, my psychologist Unnie, this is Hee Chul oppa

"Yaa, kiddo, I thought it was our date, only the two of us not with the other pe ople?" - The guy pouted

Hee Chul oppa

Yuri?" CHAPTER 20

SET FIRE TO THE RAIN

*Flashback*

You're not Min Seok's father You're not the father of Yuri unnie's son tell me you're not, you tell me you're not I will trust you I only need you to tell me, you're not and I w ill trust you She whispered in between their kiss Tears pooled up at the corner of her eyes.

Ssul What are you He stopped kissing her, his forehead landed on hers, his mind was attacked by a heavy shock hearing her words.

Oppa, tell me, you're not her son's father She started to cry, but her hands still clut ched onto his neck, her breathe became uneven.

Ssul, please, look at me Look at me now He said in between his breath, trying so har d to calm himself down.

I can't oppa I I don't know I'm so scared Who am I? Am I your wife? I I don't know anyt out us except from those things that you tell me Is there anything else that I do n't know about the past? Who was I in the past? And and why am I being like this? I don't know Am I in love with you now? Have I fallen for you? I I don't know And to an em pty minded person like me I don't have anything to hold on except you I'm so scared S i cried harder as she slowly fell on the floor with Min Ho beside her

She held her chest with her two hands, a lot of emotion covered her head, making her struggle among physical and mental breakdown.

You're not Ssul, you're not an empty minded person, you're not Min Ho was now sat on t floor with Sulli, he tried to pulled her closer and hold her arms but being prev ented by his wife's stubbornness.

I'm his father! Min Ho grabbed her wrists toughly, he was trying so hard not to expl ode And looked at Sulli with his fierce eyes, his grip on her hands became tighte r that made her stop struggle.

 Sulli looked up, her tears almost dried hearing his words

I'm his father, Yoo Geun's father! This is the only thing that I know now, Ssul! He br eathed heavily, trying to suppress his outburst, his eyes were burned of pain an d desperation.

The only thing I'm sure of is I'm Yoo Geun's father, and Ssul, I know this is unfair if I ask you to be patient, but I have nothing but you and our son And so, I'm here, asking for your understanding and patience, I know you're not fully recover, I kno w you're now suffering from the lost of memory, you're confusing, but I also know Ss ul You love me, right? I know you love me, even you cannot remember me, I know yo u still love me, and I'm here, again Selfishly asking you to bear this with me Can y ou? Can you wait a little bit more and let me settle all of this? I'm confusing, t oo I'm going crazy because of this, too Min Ho's eyes now pooled up with water as he pu lled his wife closer to his chest and landed his head on hers -Please, Ssul I don't k now, please trust me, I'm going find out everything, about Yuri noona, about the t ruth and Min Seok's father For the past days, my head was in chaos, Iyou know what, if not for you and Yoo Geun, if I can't see you two here, I think my head might e xplode and I was already collapsed.

He took a deep breath, clear his throat

If you ask me to stay away from you, yes, I'll try If you ask me not to touch you, y es, I'll try But please Ssul, please be here for me, if I can't see you, I think I wi ll never has the strength to fight against all of these insane things Please stay here for me to see you, please Don't let go of me

Min Ho stopped and he stayed still for a while with Sulli in his arms, and then released her slowly

I'm sorry Sulli, I know I'm being unfair with you But I can't remember anything from tha t night but waking up on the bed with her beside, I can't remember anything

And he faked a sad smile on his sorrowful face before leaving the room with his wife sobbing on her bed.

1 weeks passed, and as promised, Min Ho didn't push Sulli for anything, he did her

a favor and didn't try to touch her He just stay from afar and watched over his wi fe taking care of Yoo Geun, he asked Key to come with her to the hospital for ch ecking up, asked his mother to go walking with her every afternoon with an excus e of being busy with his new project, he dropped by at their room to send Yoo Ge un a morning kiss and gave Sulli a soft smile but he didn't ever say anything that made her think too much

But he didn't know that, silence was the most painful thing.

Sulli was there, at the balcony with Yoo Geun in her arms.

Sunny morning was good for baby ad for those ones who had just recovered from il lness like her.

She sighed, looking at the smiling face of her son

Do you miss Daddy, baby?

The baby moved a little bit as he opened his tiny hand and slowly closed it, the n opened it, over and over again, just like a blossom little flower.

Sulli chucked and lift him up to kiss on his palm

What are you trying to say, baby? Sorry, Mommy is not that smart to understand yo ur baby talk, and now, I'm just an empty minded mother I'm useless, baby ah I don't even know what to do

She sighed again as she held the baby tighter, tears were now pooled up at her e yes' corner again

Yoo Geun doesn't miss his Daddy that much, and you know, I think the one who miss h is daddy is his stubborn and silly mommy, not him

Sulli opened her eyes that were losing to hold back her tears and turned around

to the voice behind her.

There stood at the door was a young beautiful lady with slightly blonde wavy hai r and a mischief smile written on her lips.

She stepped closer and sit down on the wooden chair behind Sulli so that she cou ld see the playful glint in the lady's eyes

And by the way, my giant baby, even if you're a little bit silly sometimes but you never be an empty minded person, never ever simple because, you're my giant baby My giant baby is always smart especially when she is now a very beautiful mother The l ady smiled at Yoo Geun and pinched Sulli's cheek.

Sulli's mind got blurred.

Her heart beat like crazy as she gulped down to control a huge wave of emotion s torming all over her body.

Images.

Voice.

Warm hugs.

A lot of things ran through her mind, she couldn't even react to the young lady.

All the illustration stopped right at the moment Sulli snapped open her eyes and looked at the beautiful milky face in front of her

Tae Tae Tae Yeon unnie Her breathe became uneven, she was trying to mouth those words .

Tae Yeon unnie

You you know her? Ssul? You know her? You know she is Tae Yeon unnie? Ssul, you ca n remember her?

Seo Hyun furiously came to the balcony once she heard the words slipped out from Sulli's own lips, her heart actually stopped beating while watching Tea Yeon appr oach Sulli for the first time after her condition of losing memory.

Tae Yeon was sitting there, wide opened her eyes too when she shockingly hearing Sulli call out her name, but then, as she was, always, she just laughed happily at the stunned Seo Hyun and said I told you, babo Seo Joo Hyun, my giant baby loves me more than she loves Min Ho

And she gave Sulli a big warm hug

How are you, my giant baby? Tae Yeon asked once she released her from her hug.

I I don't know unnie I mean Can I call you unnie just like I call Seo Hyun unnie? Sul looked up at Seo Hyun who was now proudly sitting next to her with a shyly look

Aish, s your ust to watery .

babo you already called me unnie I'm always your Tae Yeon unnie, and forever a unnie that's why I went all along for such a long way from Paris back here j meet you, my giant baby Tae Yeon smiled softly, her mischief eyes now were with tears, too She cupped Sulli's face as she caress it with her warm hands

I I just know it I don't know why, but I just know it I know it is you, I know you, yo u are Tae Yeon unnie, but but sorry unnie I can't remember anuthing more I'm sorry

That's enough, honey, that's enough, you know me And I know you that's enough My giant ba y, that enough I'm not coming back for you to remember me, I'm coming back to be your Fairy God Mother, as I always was when you were a little girl Remember what I to ld you before, fairy tales are fabricated by ourselves, but once we are running out of thread, then we need help , we need the other to give you their thread to help you finish your tale And now, I'm here, to give you the rest of the fairy thr ead But, before I hand you those thread, you must answer my question first Well, b aby, I know in this kind of situation, this is a little bit rush to you, but stil l Are you now still in love with Min Ho or even don't remember him but you fall for him, again?

He slowly opened the door and stepped inside.

She was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly

It'd been for a while he didn't see her sleep like this, comfortably and soundly, as if nothing had happened, as if she didn't aware of the thing between Yuri and him , as if she was not suffering from her own problems of recovering after the losi ng memory event, as if nothing hurt her.

He smiled bitterly and reached out his hands to shoved hair on her forehead

She was always beautiful, and he loved her so much, so much that his aching hear t felt so hurt seeing her like this

Why was this so hard for them?

He was a jerk to her He thought when he avoided her after Seo Hyun got married wa s the best thing he could do for her, but this wrong though followed after other wrong step, and he hurt her, again

Good night, my baby I love you and I'm sorry Min Ho whispered as he stood up and prepa ed to leave the room when he felt a hand held his arm and a soft voice saying

Oppa, please don't go

He stood still as an electronic wave ran through has mind.

And she was in shock too, when suddenly another illustration flooded up in her b rain once the words Please don't go slipped out of her mouth She could see the view w here she in a hospital room, crying on the bed,saying Please don't go and he was ther e too, sitting on a chair next to her bed, he was gulping and saying something Sh e couldn't hear it clearly, but she could definitely tell it was him She heard some thing like Sorry, the words Sorry repeated for so many times And these memories became blurrer blurrer until she could feel a hug and she opened her eyes to see her now in her room again

With Min Ho stood still beside her bed.

They both kept their silence as attempting to balance themselves after their own emotion.

Min Ho then turned around as he heard she called for him again, in a softer and weaker voice

Oppa please don't go

You look so pale, does it hurt you somewhere?

No, it doesn't But but you're the one who hurt me

I'm sorry Ssul

Stop saying sorry I hate it when you keep saying sorry Sulli said in a bold voice, h er hand was shaking as she sat up and handed him a small box.

Min Ho immediately realized what the box was It was the box he used to keep those letters he wrote her but never sent, he thought he buried it for long time ago

How can you get this?... Do you remember something? Ssul tell me how can you get th is? His voice became husky

I don't I don't remember anything if you ask me about the past, but my heart, I told y ou, right? My heart knows you And I think my heart knows this too, except for the tiny memory which has just flooded my mind when I call you and tell you not to go

You remember something?

I guess But put it aside if you say sooner or later I'll get it all back The thing he re is I've read all the letter, and She stopped, smiling mischievously, Min Ho could see his cheerful wife was back for a moment he saw the glint in her eyes.

You are a little bit cheesy, you know

Yuri unnie is so close to you, right?

I thought I had told you not to mention about her, for the time being when I'm stil l settle up all these thing? And why do you have to raise up this so sudden?

I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about us and this letter

Ssul, Why am I so stupid? How can I face you with this mistake? I'm a jerk, Ssul This morning I woke up on a strange bed and Yuri was by my side She was by myside W hat should I do now, Ssul? I can't remember anything but the jealousy towards your duet with Hee Chul hyung Beers I know they are not good for a guy who was in deep anger, but I Ssul I ended up on the bed with her What should I do? She told me not to worry about it, nothing happened but as a guy, I should take the responsibil ity, right? I'm going crazy for this? And you're still avoiding me, what should I do ?

I trust you She whispered

I'm suffering from the lost of memory and I know how do you feel when you can't remem ber from the past but you still want to take responsibility towards it

I can't remember how much I love you in the past, I can't

But reading those letters, I think I, the one in the past was blessed to fall in love with you

You want to fight against this I'm with you

And besides, Tae Yeon unnie told me, even if you're Min Seok's father, if your heart doesn't change, and my heart if I still know what my heart wants It doesn't matter it doesn't matter

The only thing matters is if we are willing to fight it or not And the only thing matters is if I love you for your true self or not, and if it is, I must love all the way it takes

Ssul

Tae Yeon unnie said, I hate rain, and she told me to set fire to the rain

I think I'll ask Yuri noona to go to the DNA checking

His words was cut off by a quick peck on the lips when his wife smiled and whisp ered

I can remember one thing, oppa I told you not to go and ou told Yoo Geun to close his eyes when you kissed me at the hospital

*End of flashback* Set fire to the rain, guys I didn't go for a long way from Paris back here to do not hing Min Seok's father, we're catching you Tae Yeon smiled devilishly as she said Hee Chul oppa?

Yuri? CHAPTER 21

ALL ABOUT YOU

*Flashback*

Oh, Sulli ah Sorry for making you waiting, my client has a little bit trouble and I have to take extra time with him So, how do you feel right now? Last time you t old me you have some kind of illusion and eyesight, how are they now? Did they c ome back? Are the clearer? Yuri sat down on her chair, she smiled to Sulli, who w as waiting for her in the room.

It's ok, Yuri unnie, I know you're in an emergency Uhm, unnie, actually I think I can see some eyesight, but they're just blur and make me have headache when I try to f ocus and force myself to remember what that is and when it happened Sulli smiled b ack and slowly answered, but nervousness could be realized easily in her voice.

Well, it's a good improvement, but as I told you, don't force yourself, que sera sera So Yuri continued

But she was cut off by Sulli

Actually, unnie, there was one thing that came very clear

Yes, Sulli Can you tell me?

I have and eyesight of the past In which I saw Min Ho oppa Sulli hesitated

Oppa? Now you called him oppa huh? Yuri chuckled realizing that Sulli was now call ing Min Ho oppa, and to her it was a big move, it meant that Sulli was now gradual ly accepting Min Ho in her life, and no matter what if Sulli would be able to re member or not, it would also confirm that she could adjust to her new life and s he could move on even without a successful result of the therapy.

Sulli blushed a bit but then she continued with her eyes looked straight into Yu ri eyes.

and and you, unnie I saw you and him

Me? Surprised Yuri asked back

Uhm, unnie I came back to the university and while wandering around I suddenly sa w the eyesight, the clearest I've ever had before with you and Min Ho, uhm Min Ho op pa

Well, how is it?

Unnie, I saw you and him at the stone stairs down to the library and the grand ha ll, and and then I remember I saw you and himat the entrance of the girls' dormitory T he night I remember that night, you were wearing a dress, and I remember that dre ss was for a latin dance performance with him, also

Yuri got startled at first hearing what Sulli said, but as professional as a psy chologist, she immediately got back her balance and continued to ask her latter.

And

Unnie

Yes, Sulli

That night, you guys came in together and unnie Min Ho, Min Ho oppa, he's not Min Seo k's I mean your son's father, right? Finally, Sulli ended up all her nervousness with t he last question, she thought she almost lost her breath, her heart was bumping so hard under her chest, her hands got colder along with every single word slipp ing out from her lips.

Something hit Yuri's heart and head right after Sulli ended her sentence, a dark s ight came as a huge storm and covered her view, she felt like it made her blind, her body cells froze.

What if I said yes? Yuri took a deep breath beneath her croaking voice, she looked back into Sulli's now teary eyes but still very determined, and asked.

Sulli felt a single tear at the corner of her eye was about to fall down, but sh e tried to hold it back, deep back in side, though her hands were shaking like f orever.

Her heart was almost out of it race.

But, then

Sulli just smiled.

Even if you said yes Nothing is gonna change, right? Nothing would change aving the most panic psychological trauma called lost memory, nothing would ge that we're now married, Min Ho oppa is also my son's father And you are o ran away without telling him about the existence of Min Seok, right? And, thing is gonna change, right?

that I'm h chan the one wh so No

Are you accusing me of breaking and tearing up your family when I'm coming back, an d more than to be called cruel, I even became your personal psychologist consult ant? Yuri asked in an amusing yet painful voice

It's not anybody's fault I'm not blaming anyone I just want to make it all clear, all of my thought

Then what if I said No, he's not And by the way how can you know about those things? Yuri smiled and calmly asked, a little amusing flash through her eyes, even thou gh her heart was suffering, too.

Then, I will be the one who grabs the collar of Min Seok's father and rags him back here, and roast him alive!

Yuri stood up as she got stunned hearing the voice and the sudden open sound of the door.

That beautiful lady smirked as her backed leaned on the wall and her hand reache d out to play with some curls of Sulli's brown hair.

Tae Tae Yeon? Teangoo?

Yeah, right, I am Almighty Taengoo nim Tae Yeon laughed hilariously when she saw the frozen yet happy face of Yuri, and she came over to wrapped her best friend in

her arms.

Ya, Kwon Yuri, hug me back, I'm not hat tall to clinging on you like this all the t ime! And I'm not flying back here for that long from Paris just to receive this co ld and ignoring welcome! Tae Yeon snapped

When did you come back and why I mean, I thought you're preparing for your grand exh ibition by the end of this month? Yuri hugged her back as ordered

That's why I told my giant baby here Tae Yeon pulled away slowly to pinch Sulli's cheek s And turned towards Yuri again and you also, I don't have much time, and when I'm bac k, it means I'm back to set fire to the rain... She smirked, looking at Yuri's puzzle d face

See, my Ssul baby I told you, when you go straight into the topic like this, and t ell her about your eyesight with her and Min Ho in it you can clearly see her rea ction She did try to be bold, huh? Oh, please Ssul, you did a good job, she's a prof essional psychologist and she know how to be bold in those kind of situations, a nd even she's facing a dangerous situation which we bring her in like this, she eve n still has that skill of analysis your reaction, she still want to analysis you r brain improvement But still, you did a good job, as an outsider from psychology , I can even tell, you did make her confused at first, you did hit her hard at t hat genius brain of hers And I'm sick of it, sick of seeing this stubborn way this g irl show me, even when she was pregnant without telling us about the baby's father , she always showed off her professionalism No need to, Yuri, I'm sick of it Tae Yeon sat down beside Sulli, she folded her two arms and narrowed her eyes looking at her best friend

What what do you mean? Do you Do you mean that all of this is your plan? And Sulli, y our eyesight and illusion? Yuri asked Sulli

Unnie I'm sorry, I don't want to bring you back into your pain in the past or anything , but even if it's true that Min Ho oppa is the father or it's not that, I think I thi nk I want to know the truth I want to help I'm selfish to say this, I know But first, I want to help Min Ho oppa out of those things and confusion and guilty, I want to help myself and our marriage first Then, as a sister of yours if you'd love to s ay, unnie, I also want to help you, out of that past

Yuri was holding back her tears while looking at the two sitting in front of her .

She took a deep breath.

Your husband is not my son's father, that's all And thank you, but I think it's alright now We're both alright without him

*End of flashback*

Hee Chul oppa?

Yuri?

They both starred at each other in shock, chaos and lots of emotion flooded over their body and their mind.

Hi how have you been Yuri long time no see Hee Chul tried to be normal It's been 3 ye , she was still the same

I'm good Long time no see, oppa Yuri gulped down and pretended to fix up her coat, but actually she was trying so hard to hold back her tears, she didn't know why those tears just want to come out

Hyung, I haven't asked about your trip to Africa last time, how was it? How can you survive there all alone? Min Ho asked, his eyes secretly traced over both Yuri a nd Hee Chul's face, they're were in the coffee shop for 30 minutes and he realized s omething was thicker and thicker by second in the air.

Uhm, I'm curious, too How about you Yuri unnie? You are also curious, right?

Unnie

Yeah, Sulli?... She looked up and saw Sulli smiled, she was too deep in her though t that she didn't hear Sulli ask her, and she saw her eyes get something.

I asked you are you interested in Hee Chul oppa's trip And Ah, you know what oppa Sul happily turned her head towards Hee Chul I asked Yuri unnie to bring her two year old son here too, but he's with his grandmother I'm so admired unnie, she's so brave an d strong A single mom like her

Son? Her son? Single mom?

Hee Chul got stunned hearing what Sulli had just said, his eyes widen, and a swo rd stabbed his heart.

2 years old?

Yuri smiled weakly as she made an excuse to go to the rest room, but then she go t scared when her tears started to fall and she ran out. She couldn't stand it any more, it was too much This could kill her Kill her

I'll went out to see if she's ok Noona is not in good mood these days Min Ho stood up a d he gripped hard on his wife's hand when he heard Sulli whispered Unnie, I'm sorry, so sorry But we need to do this, we want to help

Sulli was singing a lullaby for Yoo Geun, these days, Yoo Geun would love it whe n she carried him in her arms and sing him a lullaby until he dripped off to sle ep.

She heard the door click opened and the footsteps.

She knew it was him.

She knew it was Min Ho.

And her heart just jumped like a little girl when she saw her favorite teddy bea r.

But that feeling stuck in her chest, and something boiled under her veins, she j ust ignored him, putting her baby inside the cradle, Sulli just sat there and ge ntly pushed it.

Yoo Geun ah, what should Daddy do? Min Ho sat next to the cradle as he whispered

He threw a glance at Sulli, and secretly smiled as he saw her face.

Mommy was too much She asked me to do that, but now, she turned her back, and get mad at me What should I do?

Sulli looked up, that feeling grew bigger hearing him said those words.

But she force herself not to say anything.

Is it too much, baby ah? But I think I can stand that, right if she got mad at me, it means she's jealous And that's a great signal, don't you think? And when she's jealo us, it means she's in love with me, right? Yoo Geun ah? Daddy has nothing but to t hink that way

Who says I'm jealous? You know that, right, baby ah Mommy is not jealous, right? Sull i said, without looking at Min Ho

Baby ah, she's not jealous, but when she saw me hug Yuri noona and comforted her wh en she was crying so hard outside the coffee shop, she then turn cold towards me and didn't even say a single word with me How can I interpret her reaction?

Baby ah I'm not like that Mommy is not jealous, I'm not I just Sulli said, her voice d up a bit, all she wanted to do now is to kick him hard for saying this in fron t of their baby.

So, she's not jealous, huh? Then how can I call her reaction? How can I name it, ba by ah? She wanted to help Yuri noona out, and we are nearly got to the end, now we almost got the reason why she kept Min Seok from his father and now the only t hing left was about waiting for her readiness to tell him the truth, but Mommy s uddenly get mad at me, and what should I do?

I'm not jealous, baby Dady id a bad person That's all

Bad person? What do you mean bad person? Min Ho stood up and came over to approach Sulli

Bad person She said, her eyes met him

Baby ah, Mommy said I'm a bad person, is it true? Min Ho kneed down, taking her hand s

She pulled away.

You know what, baby ah even if Moomy is being like this, she's still very cute And I love it when she get jealous, that way, she looks sparkle in her jealousy, and t hat, I know she loves me

Sulli's heart and the feeling that stuck in her chest melt down.

And that called jealousy.

She didn't know why, but she hated it when she went out and saw Min Ho hugged Yuri to comfort her.

That moment, she could confirm what Tae Yeon unnie suspected was thetruth, but s he also she realized even though Min Ho just did it to comfort a painful crying friend of him, but it still made her heart down, and that feeling boiled up.

She hated it when she saw him with another woman.

And she knew.

It was jealousy.

And that meant

I don't want you to hug her

Why? Min Ho chucked, but he pretended to be calm, his heart was dancing in a victo rious move His wife was always be like this, so transparent, so pure, so innocent and so in love with him

I hate you

Really? Ssul? Yoo Geun can hear you He pulled her into his arms and wrapped her in

I hate your daddy

Yoo Geun, Daddy is telling you this, no matter how much mommy said she hated me I still love her love her so much that I can even breath seeing her Min Ho whispered as her hugged her tighter

I love you

Sulli said.

And with no hesitation Min Ho reached up to planted a passionate kiss on his wife's soft lips

He knew, nothing could separate them anymore

He poured all of his heart, his love, his feeling, and even his desire into the kiss.

And she smiled as he realized she was answering it.

Passionately.

Sweetly.

They were there, kissing like no tomorrow not realizing that they were already on the bed, with Min Ho hovering above his wife.

And he suddenly pulled out of the kiss when he heard a moan escaped from her lip s.

He got stunned realizing what he had done with her.

Her blouse was pulled up revealing her milky skin and part of her breasts.

Her breath uneven.

Her lips bruised.

He immediately sat up.

Sorry Ssul, I didn't mean it I'm sorry for not controlling myself I'm sorry until you're ly recovered I should control myself I'm sorry

Then his body got burned when he felt her arms wrapped around his shoulders.

She whispered.

I don't care about the past I love you That's all I know...

I want you CHAPTER 22

I CHOOSE TO LOVE YOU

It was morning and the sun light slowly fulfilled the bed room with the wall was full of floral designs on. The pink curtain softly flied in between the fresh m orning breath of the breezing wind.

Min Ho slowly opened his eyes due to the light bothering and looked around, righ t away he felt his armed ached, he groaned a little bit due to the pain he'd got. But a wave of electricity ran through his veins when he his sleepy mind fully aw ake and realized the reason for his aching arm.

His heart jumped in joy as he bended his head downwards and he saw his wife, sle eping soundly and peacefully beside him, with her head on his arm, and slightly leaned its side on his bare chest.

His bare chest.

Her eyelashes quivering slightly like flowers' petals when he leaned down to kiss her forehead and she squirmed, arching closer to him for the warmness. He looked down onto her beautiful face and his heart almost exploded from the happiness a nd bliss that he had her, now, in his arms through many ups and downs of their l ives.

Waking up like this with her every morning, seeing her beautiful face every morn ing, to him, they are all the most blissful blessedness.

Last night was one of the most precious night of his life.

His heart exploded as he heard the words I want you slip out from her lips.

He determined to get her back but he himself didn't expect the affection among the chaos of her recovery and he definitely didn't want to take advantage of this per iod, he was a man, it's true, they were married and they even had Yoo Geun, that's a lso true. But it didn't mean that he could use them as his excuses to fulfill his desire and longing for his wife. He wanted to treasure her, because he loved her , not only for her beauty, her gorgeous body but also for her soul and the way s he loved him through those years without giving him up.

And that made her even more precious.

And he had to control himself, control his desire to hug her tight, to touch her skin, to taste her kissable lips and her body in order to protect her.

He was his sister since the day they were born. He acknowledged that thought sin ce the day he was able to aware about the others' thought, they kept on telling hi m how they looked cute together, how they looked like siblings and how a brother like him should take care of a little sister like her, those thought slowly dre w deep into his mind and it took granted like a root into his brain, that they w ere like true siblings.

His feeling became a habit, thinking the way that people made him to think, unti l the day he realized something was different. The day he knew his attitude towa rds Hee Chul was not simply the protection a brother built up to shield over his little sister, but it was actually jealousy.

And it took him a lot of time being tortured by his confused, scared and doubtfu l feeling to realize the truth, but then, it came along with misunderstandings, stubbornness and fear

And only when they got married, he had his own chance to spill out his heart.

And his mind was full of memory, the first morning he woke up on the bed, with h er in his arms after their first night spending together as a truly married coup le, not counting the true first night when he woke up the next morning and found out she had left with a note paper saying Seo Hyun was back.

Min Ho wrapped his two arms around his wife's tiny waist and pulled the sleeping b eauty close to him, a kiss was planted on her lips when he let his mind wander b ack to that morning.

*Flashback*

He squirmed a bit and opened his eyes, Sulli was sleeping beside, with her hands putting on his chest and her head leaning close to him.

He smiled sweetly as he elbowed his right arm and looked at her beautiful awaken ing face.

Good morning, baby He whispered, his other hand caressing her bare skin under the b lanket.

Morning She murmured back, narrowing her sleepy eyes due to the morning light comin g from the window.

She lazily smiled back at his grinning handsome face and enjoy the warmness came from his touch on her skin.

Then a shock wave hit Sulli as she saw the amusing and teasing hint I his eyes, she looked down a bit and realized her position.

She was naked, totally naked in his arms whose was also wearing only his birthsu it.

Ahhhhh, last night Sulli blush as her mind already awake

Slowly she pulled up the floral blanket to cover her blushing face without sayin g a word, she lost her tongue due to her shyness towards Min Ho.

And Min Ho couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. He reached out to grasp to c over and gently tried to pull it down.

Hey, princess Waeyo? He said softly

Nothing She answered back, shyly

Hey, what's now? You don't want to see me?

Aniyo oppa

Min Ho grinned, he tried to pull the blanket down from her face but she wouldn't l et him.

Hey, baby, are you shy?

Ohhh She nodded in the cover, making him laugh a bit

I've already seen them all just so you know, baby I know every single piece of your b ody, so, don't be shy Baby He reassured

but

But what?

I just don't want you to see me like this I'm shy I'm just

Last night you kept on moaning and calling my name, then now you're getting shy bec ause you don't want me to see you without your clothes on? Hey, princess last night you even Min Ho teased Sulli but he was cut off by her shout

Yaaaa. Oppa!!!! Sulli pulled down the blanket furiously when she realized what she had done the previous night and that made her cheeks burn in the red heat

Wae? Oppa wae? Min Ho kept on teasing his wife

How can you You Our baby is here, he might hear you

Baby ah, Mommy is shy but being like this makes Daddy even want to kiss her more- M in Ho chuckled hearing Sulli's reason, he leaned down fast and peck her on the lip s

Now I can see your face, baby He whispered, Sulli could felt his voice became husky , her face burned Then suddenly Min Ho pulled it hard, making the blanket go down to her waist, revealing his wife's round breasts.

Sulli got stunned at the event as her cheeks turned extremely red and she punche d at Min Ho's chest by her to hands.

Yaaaaa, I told you Yaaaa, you bad guy oppa Bad oppaaaaaa!

Min Ho felt the pain caused by her to hands at first but then he laugh seeing he r face, love fulfilled his heart, and he lovingly but firmly held her wrists to calm Sulli down.

His one hand kept her hands and put them on his chest, another hand reached out to her forehead as he moved up and hovered above her, trapping her under.

Sulli did try struggle but she was conquered by his strength and got dazed by th e look in his eyes.

Her fight became lessened and stopped for good when she saw the love in the two big brown eyes that she loved the most, she kept silence as she stared back at h im.

Oppa She whispered

Min Ho didn't want to toughly kept her like this, but while teasing Sulli, he sudd enly remember about the morning after their first night, he woke up alone in the bed and found out something on the bedsheet. Some traces of stained blood were scattered on the white bedsheet, and with the paper note on his hand, Min Ho's hea rt almost broke down thinking about how much she was hurt spending her first nig ht with him and became a woman under this situation.

And now, after those pain and misunderstanding, he knew, how much he treasured h er, how much he loved her.

Thank you, Sulli ah He whispered back, his breath glidingly brushed on her skin, th ey remained in that position for a while looking at each other's eyes.

Oppa

Thank you for being my wife, thank you for bringing our baby to this my life, tha nk you for being patience and love me without conditions You don't know how much I want to tell you at this moment, you don't know how much it hurt me waking up on o ur bed last time without you in my arms and found out the trace of your virginit

y you have given it all to me

Thank you for letting me choose to love you, thank you for loving me

Choi Sulli, I love you

I love your smile He kissed her lips

I love your hands He kissed her hands

I love your smell he kissed and nuzzled her neck, Sulli arched at the sensation

I love your warmness He raised her hands to kiss the valley of her breasts

I love this precious royal cup of yours where you bring our baby He gently traced d own and kissed her belly

Sulli cupped Min Ho's face and framed his jawline with her two hands, tears pooled up in her eyes, she smiled faintly and rubbed his face with love written in the connection of their silence.

I love you, too Oppa

And she pulled him down to give him a passionate kiss, more passionate than anyt hing she could give her husband, she never dream of a day like this, but it came true in a glimpse, and her grandmother was right Let your heart decide even if it me ant you have to wait and to suffer, but it worth, when you realized love would f ind a way

*End of flashback*

Sulli shyly smiled when she came to the kitchen and saw Min Ho there, with Yoo G

eun in his arms He was feeding their baby boy and let Sulli sleep a little more, he knew, last night, he was a bit rush after hearing she said I want you That all ma de up for his yearning towards her in those past months.

Sulli blushed a bit remembered how gentle he was when she looked up and hide her shy face into his chest.

He said Good morning baby and asked Do you feel sore somewhere? Did I hurt you somew here And he was also shy when he said I'm sorry, I should be gentler seeing the marks h e left on her neck and down to her chest. Min Ho looked up and smiled Mommy is up, Yoo Geun ah Her shy face made him remember how she shook her head answering if he hurt her or not a little while ago.

Ahhhh, our Yoo Geunnie is a good boy, Mommy he has just finished his breakfast Min H o raised his baby up and did some baby talk with him, making Sulli giggle

Mommy, do you wanna give Yoo Geunie a rewarded kiss? - He used the baby voice to ta lk when Sulli came closer and leaned down to touch Yoo Geun

I love you Min Ho oppa She whispered and lingered a soft kiss near his ear after pla nting a kiss on the baby's forehead

I love you, too Ssul He coolly winked but he could feel himself react at the sensati on Sulli gave him through the lingered kiss.

Do you think we should give Hee Chul oppa a hint? Sulli asked, giving Min Ho his s andwich

You know what, Ssul It's a bless if the father acknowledges about his son from the b aby's mother but not anyone else It would be better if he can hear the truth from t he baby's mother Let it be, Ssul I know you want to help them, but let it be Especial ly when the mother hid it from him for such a long time, she should be the one w ho tells him the truth

Yuri unnie must be hurt so much deciding to hide Min Seok from Hee Chul oppa

Don't worry, Ssul She will find a way Don't worry, she just got scared at that moment a nd, she was not ready for being pregnant in just one night, and Hee Chul hyung w as insisting on his trip to Africa With his personality and their situation back then, Yuri noona might feel scared Don't worry Min Ho smiled, he held Sulli's hands tig ht, his heart was full of warmness because he knew, Sulli might lose her memory, but she would never lose her warmness towards the other people

This is why I choose to love you, Ssul

What do you mean, oppa?

I mean, they always told me that you're my dear little sister and that made me beli eve so, until I feel my heart melt from your eyesmile and the way you care the o ther people. I'd love it if I had a little like that, but no, Ssul I choose to love you as the love of my life, because it's a bless when I have you by my side and g o with me for the rest of my life Min Ho kneeled down

Oppa Did I hurt you when I hide Yoo Geun away from you? Sulli suddenly asked, a sin gle tear flew down her cheek

Min Ho was a bit shock hearing her words, but he calmed himself down and shook h is head.

Really? I remember a bit That I hid our baby from you, but I can't remember why Oppa, why did I do that to you Oppa why did I hurt you?

Who said you hurt me?

The way you told me not to say anything to Hee Chul oppa about the lovely Min Seo k, I I can feel it, you know it because I hurt you before, I hid Yoo Geun from yo u Sulli started to cry, she didn't know how to hold it back

That's why I choose to love you

Oppa

You hid our son from me because you want to protect me and during that period you were growing the strength to fight the pain you got because the messy thing I c ouldn't realize and tell you that I love you earlier You love me more than yourself , even though it also hurt you when you had to endure your pregnancy alone witho ut my awareness That's why I love you

Oppa

So, don't cry, baby I'm so proud of you Min Ho said and he embraced her in his arms, le ting her cry

They stayed like that for a while after pulling away a bit and looked at each ot her, smiling.

Oppa, today is a nice day I want to visit grandma It's been a while I haven't seen her I s she alright? Since the day I came back from the hospital I haven't seen her I wan t to visit her oppa I want to take Yoo Geun to visit her

Ssul

Oppa Can we go to day? I'm fine now I'm recovering so fast I want to go to visit grandma , I miss her so much

Ssul

Waeyo, oppa? Sulli saw a glint of sadness and worry flash through his eyes, but he r heart took a sigh of relief when he said yes and kissed her forehead.

Oppa, she would be very happy if she meet Yoo Geun, rite? I'm so happy to meet her I'm a mother now, and she must be so happy seeing me like this Sulli held Yoo Geun in her arms, her voice was so cheerful that she couldn't see the feeling in her husb and's eyes.

She would, I promise Min Ho smiled as he slower the car and gripped on Sulli hands

But oppa, this this place why do you drive to this place? Sulli looked out at the car window and she started to got fear, she shook her head and held Yoo Geun closer , her eyes fixed on Min Ho's face, his eyes turned red. But he only ripped her han ds tighter and pulled her in to his arms

Grandma, I'm taking Ssul and our baby to meet you, please help her out I know even i f now you are in the heaven, you still love and want our Sulli to be strong, to move on That's why, I choose to love her as you told me to let my heart decides Min Ho whispered CHAPTER 23

FAR AS THE SKY

She sat on the wooden chair out at the balcony.

The starry sky sparkled above, but there was a tear drop on the paper on her han ds.

Sulli had read the letter for many times, but this seemed too cruel to her. Waki ng up from a long deep sleep, she was back to the real life and the sleeping bea uty had everything, excepted from her memory.

Sulli knew, God had his own reason to let her go back, she had a son, she had fa mily and she had the love of her life, Choi Min Ho, but was the fairy tale too c ruel? Was it a cruel fairy tale?

She woke up without awareness of having a grandmother, she had no idea about tha t, and when her memory suddenly awaked about her beloved grandmother, the only t hing she can hug and touch was not her anymore, it was only her last letter writ ten to her before she left the world.

Sulli traced her fingers gently on her grandmother's handwriting, she imagined the way her grandmother sat on the chair and leaned down a bit towards the table to write, she could felt the way she paused every time she need to think, and the way she smiled when she put the full stop to the letter, the way her eyes behind the lens sparkled, Sulli thought she could feel the warmness sent out from her grandmother's fingers, another single tear dropped down on the paper remembering s

omeone in the past told her she took after her grandmother the figure of her han dwriting, the butterfly handwriting.

One more time, Sulli held the letter closer to her heart, and lift her head to l ook up at the starry night sky.

Grandma, I love you too, you are fine up there, aren't you? We're now apart, I can't se e you, I can't hug you, I can't hear your voice, but I know, even it's far as the sky, my heart knows that you are always be there, close to my heart, and to me, that's enough, to me, that's worth having you in my life

My dear Sulli,

I bet that you're now sitting on the wooden chair outside our balcony, and reading this, aren't you?

My dear little princess Ah, I think know I shouldn't call you a princess anymore, r ight? My little princess is now a young mother, she's now a queen, although to me, that queen is still my baby, my giant baby queen.

I'm here, in front of the table in your room at the hospital, they told me you're on coma, but why is it too obvious to me that you're just having a deep and long sle ep like The Sleeping Beauty, the story I read for you every night when you was l ittle?

Remember the last time when you woke up from the coma 8 years ago? You promise m e you will never forget me ever again, and I believe it, Ssul You may forget me, but your heart, it will never let you forget every single memory of yours, they're still there, in your heart and waiting to the day they can wake up.

Remember all the stories I read for you? I taught you to believe in enchanted fa iry tale, and you grew up into such a beautiful princess who has the faith in mi racles, but I'm more proud of you that you don't only naively live like a princess i n those fairy world, you learn by yourself that fairy tales are fabricated by us human, and life is another fairy tale which you have to make it by yourself and you have to fight for it. I'm so proud that you can learn that truth and strongly overcome it.

Ssul, I know I've played such a dangerous game when I made Min Ho and you get marr ied, my excuse is a stupid one, don't you think? What will happen if the marriage is only a misery and I'm the one who ruin you two? But as a silly old woman, can I make it a little bit risky when deep in my heart I know that I can proudly say I know my grandchildren and I know their hearts?

I got scared when your father told me you're at the hospital, I got scared when I saw Min Ho sit by your bed and he cried, but then I know you will be back, no ma tter what happen, you will be back, because my Sulli is strong and now, with my angel great grandchild here with you, I know, he will protect you.

Ssul, I know, my time is near, and even if I have to say goodbye to you, I know that God has his own reason to build this up. I know our small plan is not as bi g as his plan for us.

I'm so proud of you, when you decide to fight for your baby and ask Min Ho to hold on with you, that's why I know now you may only have a short break and you will n ever leave those ones whom you promise to be with them for the rest of your life behind.

You will be back, I know that, Sulli.

Remember this, I love you and even if I leave you earlier, it doesn't mean that I don't love you anymore, it only means that you have to move on with my love still here with you.

Remember how I love you and Min Ho.

Remember how I'm proud of you two.

Remember I love your little prince. Yoo Geun, can I name him Yoo Geun, Choi Yoo Geun? This is my gift my my little great little prince charming, Having Min Ho a s his father and you as his mother, I know he will grow up to be a great and war m prince charming to a beautiful lovely princess. Just so you know, they've just t old me about the baby gender, he's a boy, that's why I call him a little Prince.

Remember this, Sulli You ll come back, when they call you, no need to say good bye Now we're back to the beginning. It's just a feeling and no one knows yet. But j ust because they can't feel it too doesn't mean that you have to forget.

I love you, my dear little princess no matter how old you will grow I'm here, lookin g at your peaceful sleeping face.

I love you, my dear Sulli, far as the sky.

Your Grandma.

Sulli took a deep breath and right after that she let out a small gasp as she fe lt two strong arms wrapped around her shoulders from behind, she just sat there and smiled softly as she know who was that. Oppa

Min Ho pulled his wife closer to his chest as he whispered I'm just so proud of you like grandma prod of you Ssul It's cold out here, you should go inside

Will she be fine up there, oppa? Sulli asked, she reached out her hand to trace do wn the stars in the sky.

Min Ho grabbed her hand in his and corner his face to kiss her head, saying I pro mise, she's with my grandparents and your grandpa, they're now reunion, they're happy up there together

I know

Wanna try some cookies? Mom baked this for you She told me the past month you're not having appetite and you look pale Don't cry too much, it's been a month and every ti me you read her letter, you cry Remember she told you to be strong? And you know she loves you, rite?

Sulli nodded and received the cookies from Min Ho but as soon as her nose felt t heir smell, something uneasy brimming up from her stomach and it bother her.

The wave of vomiting urge attacked her, making tears pool up in her eyes.

What's up Ssul? What's wrong?

Min Ho asked, realizing something unnormal.

But Sulli had no time to answer her husband, she got up and ran furiously to the bathroom, throwing up all of her previous dinner, leaving Min Ho behind, eye wi dened. CHAPTER 24

LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE

Oppa What's wrong? Sulli nuzzled his shoulder, asking in concern

Nothing, Ssul Maybe because of the late Americano and the raisin cookies, so I can't sleep Min Ho answered, tightened his embrace, pulling Sulli closer How about you, does your stomach alright now? No more throwing up?

Oh Maybe because I'm a bit stressed out with Yoo Geun having fever these days for hi s first tooth, and for not having meal regularly, don't worry oppa Sulli smiled, car essing Min Ho's arms.

That's good, don't scare me out If you feel uneasy with your digestion again, tomorrow I'll make sure that you are at the hospital for checking up Min Ho kissed her foreh ead, murmuring

It won't happen, cuz I'm alright now, I'm telling you

Time to sleep, stop nagging Princess Min Ho pretended to close his eyes

Who`s nagging here? Ya, oppa Seconds ago you told me you couldn't sleep then now you're telling me you want to sleep? Sulli pouted, pinching her husband's cheeks

Without any reaction, Min Ho just hugged her tight and ignored her nagging.

After a while

Oppa Sulli whispered

What now, princess? Still not sleeping? Min Ho replied, eye closing

Oppa is still not sleeping, too

Alright, now what?

Oppa

Oppa is right here Min Ho leaned down to kiss her forehead again, gently

When we were kids, was it hard for you to taking care of me as an older brother?

Really hard

Jinja oppa? Cuz I don't remember anything about it, so I was not a good kid, was I? Sulli looked up, her voice was a bit frowning

Yeah, not a nice kid, not at all Min Ho said flatly, but then he chuckled seeing th e impression on Sulli's face And then, right away, he pulled her up to cupped her f ace in his hands, saying sweetly almost like a whisper You're not a good kid, not a nice one, because how can I call you a good girl while you always tagged along with me and then my buddies started tagging along you? How can I when I won the basketball game and the other games more often because my buddies only came to t he play yard because those boys just wanted to see you and your pretty smiles, n ot for playing soccer or basketball? How can I, when you grew up day by day into a pretty young lady and made me, so called your older brother just want to beco me an ordinary boy out there who can woo you and make you mine not related to th ose things people tried to pair us up as brother and sister? How can I call you a good girl whenever you pout like this I just want to crush my lips on yours an d kiss you out of your mind?

Sulli smiled sheepishly hearing what her husband said, she moved closer to give him a peck on the lips whispering Oppa I know you were taking care of me so well

Oppa

Oppa is here

I wish Yoo Geun would be like you, a warm and kind hearted little gentleman just l ike the old couple we met at the Han River park last time, remember it? Yoo Geun will be a good brother if he has a little younger one right?

Ssul... Min Ho was confused and a bit worried hearing what Sulli had just said

I met Seo Hyun unnie this afternoon and I just had that thought, Seo Hyun unnie's l ovely Ji Min is baby girl, and I wonder when our Yoo Geun grows up, how is he if he has a baby sister like Yoo Geun I just wonder So, good night oppa

*Flashback*

Her condition is really good Min Ho, she can remember this and that, and even som ething when she was only a 4 or 5 - year - old little girl, last week she even t old me she remembered you two kissing at grandmother's garden back in time And some how, she said she knew about your wedding and her art class with Tae Yeon and Ti ffany, but they are not so clear But that's a big move, and I believe her memory ca n even recover faster Yuri said, she was focusing on the screen and pointing at so me upper changes

Yeah, noona She told me all, and I'm so happy hearing it But in detail, do you know h ow can the therapy work so well on her?

Actually Min Ho, I don't know how here, I can see a huge improvement improvement has started to move in at down back on her chair, writing

to describe this, but follow the measuring chart and I'm still working on it to figure out, the an unexpected speed for the last 1 month Yuri s something on her paper

Maybe about her health? I think

I'm wondering so But I still need time to study on this, her brain's neutrals are deve loping healthily and as I've just said, more than expected, like there is a huge s park behind But, last time she asked me about the reason for her to be diagnosed with the syndrome and fell into coma while having Yoo Geun, but I think it's bette r if you're the one who tell her Does she ask you something? And by the way, you ha ven't told her about it?

Yeah, noona, she's on the track of recovering and I think I would tell her at the p roper time, when she's ready, I don't want to make her confused or to scare her

Good, let it be Yuri sighed, she was afraid about how they could explain the situat ion to Sulli, but Min Ho was fully aware of this and that made her relieve.

But noona Min Ho suddenly lowered his voice, hesitated to ask

Huh?

Are you sure that the syndrome is about pregnancy?

*End of flashback*

Min Ho was at the coffee shop with his SHINee boys, and out of the blue his mind couldn't focus when the other three kept on chatting and cheering.

Ya, Lee Tae Min, why are you always late? Since the college days, you're e!!! Jong Hyun shouted, and kicked Tae Min legs, but the latter seemed the urge to response. He took a deep breath as his face turned extremely en when the very first second he rushed into the coffee shop his face was y like a bubble.

always lat not having red ev alread

Hyung He said, breathlessly

What now, Lee Tae Min? Jin Ki raised his eye brows, realizing something unusual in his younger friend's voice

Pregnant Tae Min spilled out, falling on the chair

What?

I'm having a baby Tae Min murmur, his ears turned red, same as his face

Check on him, Jjong, it's morning and this little bastard is drunk, huh? Key elbowed Jong Hyun who was rolling his eyes in surprising curiously

I'm pregnant Again, Tae Min repeated, his eyes couldn't focus

Min Ho was so busy with his own thought that he couldn't hear what tae Min said.

What?

Pregnant

He's crazy Our maknae is crazy, what a day! Key said, rolling his eyes

I mean, Krystal is pregnant

WHAT?????? The three except Min Ho choked out their coffee

Krystal is pregnant Tae Min just murmured

Oh

 my

God

Lee Tae Min!

I know We're not married

Daebak, Lee Tae Min, daebak, get your girlfriend pregnant before marriage, I tell you, you're daebak and I bet you that her father will roast you alive Ah, not menti on her father, even her Tae Yeon unnie will roast you alive first! She's back from Paris and in the middle of her stay, you dare to make this trouble Right, Jin Ki hyung? Jong Hyun clapped his hands laughing mischievously and threw a devilish g lance at Onew when he mentioned about Tae Yeon, Krystal's older sister.

Onew swallowed hard but he ignored Jong Hyun

Are you mad? I know you guys are dating for almost 3 years and you're so into her b ut at least before you blow your mind up you have to remember the key words PROTE CTION, Taem?

I'll take responsibility I love her and and I'm becoming a Dad

Now not mention about that, handling pregnant woman is the hardest part here, rig ht Romeo? Key flatly said and he turned his head to look at Min Ho who was closin g his eyes and didn't say a word

Ya Romeo, you're sleeping in this kind of event? Huh? Our maknae is becoming a fath er and look at you, you're sleeping Key shouted at him and using his folk with some piece of cinnamon cake on it to poke at his nose

I'm not Ki Bum Protection Protection He mumbled nervously and suddenly - Damn it et the folk away from me, it smells disgusting!!!! Min Ho suddenly exclaimed, he jumped a bit and a horrible expression was on his face

What? One of my friend is becoming a father even before his marriage Key pointed t he folk at Tae Min Another one is torturing himself because his crush was back f rom Paris and he's stuck between his feeling towards his girlfriend and that girl He

glared at Onew and then he slapped Min Ho's arm And this one is behaving like he's a girl who is in the middle of her period, ah no he's like a pregnant wife the whole two weeks What's wrong? What's wrong with this group????

Hi, young mommy, how are you today? Yuri asked happily, seeing how cheerful Sulli was

I'm good unnie, how are you? Sulli smiled, handing Yoo Geun to Yuri as she gestured, today Sulli came to visit her consultant and she brought their baby along with her.

Ey ey, Mr. Little Choi, how are you today? Aw, he's so cute, next time when I come to your house I will bring Min Seok hyung along to play with you, ok cutie pie? Y uri talked with Yoo Geun in a aegyo voice, then she lift up a bit to look at the smiling Sulli You look a bit pale, are you feeling unwell?

No, unnie, I'm just a bit tired because Yoo Geun's first tooth is growing and he has fever and so, maybe that makes me tired... Don't worry unnie

Remember your health is more important If you need help please make sure you can a sk a hand from Min Ho or your in laws or your mom Yuri said in concern

Thank you unnie, but I'm fine

How about your body? And ehm, even your period? Does it come to the normal track, last time when Seo Hyun told me about your breasts, I'm a bit upset for you not te lling me, it comes together with the therapy so don't forget to tell me, remember that?

Yeah, unnie Sulli was a bit worried hearing about her period, she was late for abou t 2 weeks, but she thought probably because her body was still recovering.

You have soothing to tell me? Yuri asked, seeing Sulli's hesitation

Ehm about Urgh, nothing unnie She hesitated for a while but decided not to say anythi ng.

I know there's something Yuri narrowed her two eyes

Ah That I mean Hee Chul oppa, have you met him lately?

Yuri chuckled at the expression on Sulli's face, no wonder why Min Ho loved her so much, this woman, she was the most beautiful girl in the world, both outside an d inside

Waeyo unnie?

He met Min Seok yesterday Yuri smiled

Really unnie? You you told him?

No, sweetheart, I haven't just let it be, I need more time, and I think I can let Mi n Seok be comfortable with him, then, when I'm ready, I'll tell him

I guess so Sulli sighed in relief

And about you, are you hiding me something?

She was outside at the garden and she smiled looking at Yoo Geun who is playing with his toys The cherry blossom bloomed around them The breeze flapped her silky hair

Princess Mommy!

She stood up, waving at her son, he laughed shouted out.

Princess Mommy, come here What's that, boy?

Yoo Geun held the girl's hand, she was a pretty little girl with her curly brown h air and a pink bowtie dress. The little girl smiled at her shyly then she ran to wards Sulli her as she kneeled down, arm opened

Mommy, Princess Mommy I want cotton candy just like oppa The little girl whispered, some cherry blossom's petals feel on her head

But you did have one, didn't you? She smiled, rubbing her back

Mommy, I want more

Remember what great grandma told you before coming here, sis? Yoo Geun came, touch ing the baby girl hand - She told you to be a good baby, don't sulk at Mommy

Mommy, great grandma told me I have to be a good girl, she told me to protect you But I don't know how The little girl cupped her face in her two tiny hands

Min Ho stepped inside the room and saw Sulli sleep soundly with Yoo Geun in her arms, he snatched the baby boy from her and put him gently on his cradle before planting a soft kiss on his forehead.

He went back to the sofa and looked at his sleeping beauty, these days, he was b othered by his thought, but seeing her peaceful face like this, his heart was li ft up and he felt at ease.

Sulli stirred a bit and opened her eyes, she smiled at him, pulled him closer to lean her head on his chest.

You're late again, oppa

I'm sorry I'm finishing my new project He said, penetrated his hand into hers

You put Yoo Geun in his cradle?

Oh, he's deep in his dream now Min Ho couldn't help but cuddle his wife, her soft body and her fragrance blinded his senses

Oppa, I remembered on thing today Though it was not a sure to be a good memory

What's that Min Ho asked, waiting

Uhm, oppa Something happened and I told you to hold on to me and Yoo Geun rite? I only remember we fight and I cried so hard, somehow it gripped my heart remember ing it, but maybe it was just because something petty, not a big thing, rite? An d I'm just too sensitive being pregnant, rite? Newlywed couple, we're just one of th ose common ones, rite?

Ohm, just oh something petty Min Ho didn't know how to reply her, she hadn't know the son and he was also not ready to tell her, and these days, he felt unwell and wa s choked up with his workload, so He was distracted

Oppa, what if I

What if what?

Nothing oppa Sulli smiled sheepishly and she pulled him down to peck on his lips

Really, you did have something

Nothing, really

Jinja?

Yeah

Promise?

I told you oppa, nothing... And by the way, is your stomach alright now? You have n't eaten well

I'm ok Don't worry, I'm just fed up with my work and so

Actually he felt alright by then, but she mentioned it and that thing in his sto mach brimmed up again

I told you to go to the hospital

I'm alright, don't worry

Min Ho tried to hold it back but the more Sulli asked, the more he felt that unc omfortable urge, and he did struggle but

He ended up releasing his wife and ran into the bathroom, just like every day fo r the past 2 weeks. CHAPTER 25

WORDS I COULDN'T SAY

Min Ho knew he should go to the hospital for a thoroughly checking up, but he di dn't know why these days he just went so stubborn and that even made Sulli get mad at him. He couldn't help it, he made an excuse as for the stress he had at work a nd for his chronic stomachache, but he didn't know why he became more and more sen sitive, even a little bit uneasy could make him feel irritated.

He didn't even know why, and that frustrated him.

Min Ho was walking along the small road around the nearby park when he suddenly

saw Sulli's back, actually he was feeling nauseous and it stuck at his throat even he hadn't had dinner yet, but seeing his wife would make it all gone.

Then, Min Ho felt something roared inside him realizing she was not alone in the park, but with a man, and that guy was hugging her.

His head told him to run fast there and rag Sulli out of the man's arms but his he art told him to calm down, he knew his wife but he couldn't stop himself went close r from behind

And

When his view became clearer

Sulli was there, softly patting on the man's back Her shoulders were a bit shaking

Onew hyung?

Min Ho's eyes got wider, he couldn't think straight for a while, what the hell those two were doing? Was there something that Onew hyung couldn't tell him but went fo r Sulli instead?

He knew Sulli was even closer to Onew when they were kids and sometimes she pref erred to play with Onew than him, but it was only when Sulli was a little girl, they gradually grew up, and Onew fondness for the little sister faded away as he became a guy, he started busily hanging out with the boys and with his dating l ife.

They just turned closer back when Onew hyung began to date Luna, Sulli's best frie nd

But it wasn't expected to be this close, especially when Sulli hadn't fully recovere d yet, she hadn't got back her memory yet.

Unless

Did she just remember something? And it was about Onew hyung?

Min Ho just stood there to see the two pulled away and Onew said something with Sulli before leaving.

Curious covered Min Ho's mind as he followed after Sulli on her way back home, he wanted to come over and held her hands but something inside prevented him from d oing that.

His wife looked so lonely from behind.

The wind blew up her wavy hair, and she fixed her coat to gain the warmness.

Min Ho knew these days he didn't have much time for Sulli, and even last night, he made her mad talking about going to the hospital, his stubbornness was hard to overcome and it lead to a fight, the very first time in their marriage, Min Ho c ouldn't control his emotion, everything just poured out as and he ended up sleepin g out on the sofa. He thought he was crazy at that moment, but he had no idea wh y he acted to annoyed and selfish like that, minutes ago they were cuddling but right after Sulli mentioned about the hospital, he changed and became unbearable .

What happened with him lately?

Both mentally and physically?

Sulli felt something strange and she just turned around, these days Min Ho alway s got home late, and also today, she didn't expect him to go home early, especiall y after the fight last night. But this felling, she couldn't fight it off, she fel t protected on this empty road home, and her heart told her it was Min Ho.

A warm shield covered Sulli when she turned and her eyes saw Min Ho, slowly walk ed behind her, her eyes flashed in happiness and surprise, but the small smiled which had just formed at the corner of her lips soon fading away as his cold fac e last night hit her memory.

Sulli just stood there, hands folded.

Min Ho looked up, he thought he had just saw something cheerful and a smile on h is wife's face, but

Don't look at me like that Sulli said, her voice raised

Where have you gone? Min Ho asked, he couldn't fight off the curious seeing Sulli an d Onew together, he just wanted to know the reason.

Why are you following me without saying a word like that? That scares me!

Where have you been? This time supposes for you to be at home and rest after dinn er?

Sulli took a deep breath as she didn't want to tell Min Ho where she was and with whom, just something blurted out from her mouth and she couldn't control it

I haven't have dinner yet!

You haven't? Do you know what time is it? Min Ho came closer, his chest tightened he aring her words

How can I have dinner? Her eyes became misty, and Sulli tried so hard to hold the tears in, looking at Min Ho who came closer

Why can't you? Min Ho asked, he stopped just some steps away from where she stood

HOW CAN I EAT FOOD WHEN I REMEMBER YOU YELLEING AT ME LAST NIGHT Sulli blurted out, tears pooled up in her eyes.

Min Ho sighed, his heavy heart was released, finally.

He knew he hurt her.

He took some more steps as he touched her shaking shoulder gently but he got stu

nned when Sulli just swept off the single tear that had just fallen down on her cheek and shrugged his hand off - Don't touch me

She turned away and ran into the elevator, leaving Min Ho behind.

Princess Mommy The little girl ran over and jumped on the bed, she laid down beside her and kiss her mother's cheek - Good morning, Princess Mommy

Good morning, cutie pie She smiled lazily, stretching out her arms from the blanket and pulled the little girl in, hugging her tight

Mommy?

Yes, baby?

Do you know where I come from? The girl drew some circled on her mother's arms by he r tiny finger, asking

From where?

Yes, Mommy, do you know it?

You're coming from Daddy and Mommy's love, you're love, baby She smiled, caressing the l ttle girl soft cheeks, the girl had those beautiful big brown eyes

Mommy? Princess Mommy?

Yes, baby?

Has Daddy known about me?

I I haven't told him yet I just

Mommy, why do you cry? Mommy, don't cry Great grandma said I'll protect you Mommy, don't cry The little girl cupped her face with her tiny hands and kissed her cheek - Mommy , you looked pale, you have to eat more If you don't I'll tell Daddy about it

..

*Flashback*

Sulli happily entered tho building entrance, she felt like butterflies were cove ring her stomach, she took her one free hand and put it on her belly, she smiled softly, her heart beat fast. She didn't know how to start, as her other hand hold on to the floral lunch box she had prepared the whole morning after coming back from the hospital. She hadn't told anyone about this, even Yuri, she only told Yu ri about how she remember things from the past, form her school years, from her college days and even from those days when she held on to her love with Min Ho, she could remember those things, but everything, but she could And Yuri once told her to tell her everything, but this, she wanted Min Ho to be the first one to know She had remembered this important thing, and Min Ho would be the first one w ho knew it.

The elevator was too crowded and Sulli didn't have that patience to wait, she deci ded to go up by the stairs, she went to the stairs area to walk to the 5th floor , where Min Ho's office located, she couldn't fight the feeling to tell Min Ho, she just smiled sheepishly at herself and climb up.

Then suddenly, she heard a familiar voice, but seemed like it was a crying voice .

I don't know, just let me go, you're now with Luna Don't make me confuse with those word s anymore, I'm leaving for Paris tomorrow

Then a familiar male voice raised up, bitterly

I'm not confusing you, I'm not!

Just see that one night as a one night stand the other voice broken You're having a rlfriend, you love her And all the thing between us in the past was already gone E ven the night last month, I don't stay longer because of you So just let me go

I won't I won't let you go, this time I won't When I confused between you and Jung Ah noo na 6 years ago, that almost killed me, this time I won't let you go again!

Let go of me! Don't touch me, don't hug me or I'll confuse again, I'll let you in again I love you!

No, don't say that! Please don't!

Sulli got stunned at what she was hearing.

I love you, and now I'll never ever let this stupid coward inside me lose you again

How about Luna? You are going to engaged Don't think of me, at least just let me go

You won't go anywhere, next month is your sister's Wedding, Krystal won't let you go, a nd so do I

Please don't

I won't let you go and hide away like Yuri, won't let me fall in the hole lie Hee Chu l hyung, I won't let you go and suffering alone, I won't let my baby be born without me

Sulli shook her head hard, she couldn't believe what she just heard, her breath be came uneven, she had to hold her two hands together and bit her lips for no lett ing any sound out.

How how can you how can you know about that?

You may say that what I've told you lately is because I know you're pregnant and the baby is mine, but I have to tell you this, trust me, I know I'm a bastard, I know

I'm a jerk But that night after the day you came back here to meet Sulli, that nigh t is not a one night stand, that night to me it's true, I love you, just like 6 ye ars ago please don't leave me again

Jin Ki.

Sulli wnet out of the stairs area, she didn't know how to think straight

Tae Yeon, Tae Yeon unnie

Unnie

Sulli managed to get on the 5th floor and walked towards Min Ho's office with her chaos mind, her hands still shook from that moment she witness, she didn't know wh at to think, she couldn't think straight, and it make her head ache.

Sulli smiled with the secretly and she went to the lobby, she was about to knock on the door but stopped as she heard Jong Hyun voice.

So, I think you two should go to the hospital for checking up, Min Ho, it's better than just sitting around here and worry like a idiot

But if it's true I just don't want it to happened again, Jjong Min Ho voice was frustra ed and tired

But at least you will have the chance to verify it

What if, what if Jjong if it's true?

She hasn't know about the reason why she fell into coma? You haven't tell her?

No, I haven't I just can't Jjong How can I tell her about that, that's just too cruel How

can I tell her that because of being pregnant, she has to risk out her life and I almost lose her and our son because of that?

But what if she's pregnant again, I mean just in case?

I don't know, but . I won't let this happened again, I can't risk her life again

Last time, Min Ho, remember her reaction when you mention abortion!

What should I do? Jjong?... I can't let this happened again

Sulli walked away, her heart stabbed

*End of flashback*

This is not a joke, hyung What are you saying? Married? Jong Hyun shouted

I'm not joking! I'm dead serious!

Onew hyung, don't make it a mess anymore, Min Ho's thing, then Tae Min and now you, w hat the hell is this! Don't scare us!

I don't, I'll marry her!

How about Luna? Are you crazy? What the hell are you thinking? Key said, he couldn't believe what he heard

I've decided and I won't change my mind! Onew said, he closed his eyes I have to stay trong for her, I won't let that woman go out of my life once again, just like I di d 6 years ago

You still love her after those long years?

Onew didn't answer, he looked out of the window, his heart felt at peace, even it knew, what he had to face ahead.

Min Ho, what do you say? Are we becoming crazy all this time? I think only you ke ep silent, what do you think? Key turned to asked the silent Min Ho, but his eyes got wider as he saw the sweat on his head.

Hey, Min Ho, are you alright? Key stepped closer, making Onew and Jong Hyun turned at his direction

I I

And the only thing they coild hear was the yell of Key, when Min Ho collapsed on the floor, holding his chest. CHAPTER 26

IN YOUR EYES

She sat on the chair out at the balcony and looked down to the garden, it was wi nter but snow hadn't fallen yet and that made her feel weird.

She sighed and held the apple in her hands, it was all red, not like in autumn, the apple was green. Then she looked up as she heard a sweet voice called for he r.

Princess Mommy?

Her daughter ran to her and she smiled cheerfully.

Mommy, I have this for you! The little girl handed her a small letter

Where do you find this? She asked, putting the girl on her lap - It's cold out here, y

ou should stay inside

I saw it in your box, Mommy See, your name is here The little girl used her tiny fin ger to point at her name on the paper.

To: Jin Ri

I tasted it, no poison.

Prince Charming.

You found this in my box? How do you know where I put my box, baby? She got surpri sed, she didn't know how her daughter could find it

The girl smirked, her big brown eyes flash a glint as she folded her two arms an d said Mommy skipped your meal, and I told you to eat more, but you don't Mommy crie d at night, and I told you don't cry, but you wouldn't listen to me, so I told Daddy !

Pride and satisfaction were written on the girl's face and voice.

You told your Dad? She mumbled, her hands trembled

Yeah, I told Daddy And he knows me, Mommy!

Sulli thought she was out of breath when she ran to the hospital lobby, her hear t raced like it would reach the limit to explode in just one second. She had to hold her chest to lessened the pain and the scare that almost stabbed through he r body.

Her mind was blind at this moment, she didn't know how to do, she just ran and ran , leaving Onew behind calling her name.

Ssul, be careful, don't run!

But the only thing in her mind now was him.

Choi Min Ho.

Min Ho, oppa Don't scare me

Tears started to fall down her cheeks, and Sulli didn't mind it anymore, she just let it flow, because if she didn't, she might be killed by her scare.

She stopped at the entrance of the emergency room, her hands already froze, her lungs couldn't control her breath and her legs were too weak that she felt she mig ht fall down at any chance.

Key saw her and ran over furiously, he pulled her to him and whispered softly bu t his voice was bold He's inside, don't worry Ssul, everything is gonna be alright, I promise

He helped her to sat down on one chair and she felt the warm hand of Jong Hyun o n her shoulder, she didn't say anything, only the heavy breath of Onew could be he ard and the footstep of Tae Min could be defined at the corner of the lobby.

Yong Hwa hyung is inside with him, I think after the checking up, we'll know what h appen to Min Ho hyung Tae Min said, he kneeled down in front of Sulli and held her shaking hands It's gonna be fine, Ssul It's gonna be fine

Then sulli looked up and her heart was almost gripped both by the her hope and t he scare that were fighting inside her mind.

The door opened.

And Yong Hwa stepped outside, he took off his medical mask off, his face showed no emotion at all.

Then Sulli's eyes widened as she saw another person came out following Yong Hwa.

That person just stood there at smiled at her.

At that moment, the world around Sulli suddenly got blurred and her mind became chaos, her fingers went numbed, something hit her head so hard that she had to k eep her eyes wide opening and at that moment, she saw an eyesight, her memory fl ooded back.

*Flashback*

3 years ago.

After the Festival at the University.

At Tiffany and Tae Yeon's apartment.

Sulli stirred a bit as she opened her eyes and she realized she was on the bed i n a strange room.

She looked around slowly as her head was aching and she couldn't see clearly, she blinked for a while to gain a better view, she tried to raise her hand on order to touch her forehead because she felt it was burning there, but when she pulled her right hand up weakly, it touched something, and that made her looked down.

In the dim midnight light, Sulli tried so hard to figure out what was the thing near her hand and her heart beat like crazy when she realize it.

That was a hand, holding gently onto hers.

Sulli then recognized the place and she sighed, this was Tae Yeon unnie's room.

Then she felt the grip on her hand become tightened and the person who held her hand slowly lift up his head.

Min Ho oppa

You're up, huh? How do you feel? Sleep well, Princess? Min Ho smiled softly and his one hand touch her forehead, his eye brows got closer as he said You're still burni ng, your fever hasn't gone down yet

Sulli just looked at him in silence, her heart torn down hearing his word.

Princess?

How long had it been since the last time he called her Princess?

How long was it?

And that question became a sword that stabbed her chest, it tortured her and bro ught up the anger that was buried deep in her wounded heart for a long time ago up.

Her mouth became dried as she said coldly.

I'm not a Princess

Min Ho turned a bit and looked at Sulli's face.

Her face was so pale and it hurt him seeing the anger confounded with agony in h er eyes.

I'll bring you some water He said gently and turned to walk out of the door, his hear t ached.

Stopped being good to me! Sulli shouted, she tried to bring herself up and sat on the bed, she struggled to go out of the bed

I can do it myself I don't need you Stop being good to me!

Ssul, you're having fever

It's none of your business She coldly starred into his eyes, tears brimming up

Don't be stubborn Ssul, I

I don't need you to be good to me, I don't I don't need you to run to me like this, I do n't

You're burning in fever, and that's my business Sulli Nothing's wrong with that! Min Ho' ace was stiffened at her words, he stopped going out and went back to the bed

Who are you to say that I'm your business? Who are you to say that? Sulli said, her hands got numbs due to the anger that she couldn't explain.

I Min Ho hesitated, his mind almost blind

Brother, right? You'll tell me that because you are my brother, right? Sulli asked, tears flew down her pale face, but she tried not to be weak, she told herself to be brave

Ssul Min Ho came closer, his chest was gripped desperately

Just so you know, I don't need you as my brother When you pushed me away and told me to forget my own feeling, everything is gone

Min Ho couldn't bear this, he knew he couldn't.

 You told me to stop, you told me to stop just an inch away from the line and you push me away, but why? Why do you go the opposite way from your words? You told me to forget you, but you come closer, you told me to bury everything down and t he same way as ever you just pull me to you? Why do you have to be this cruel to me? Why? Why? Sulli let her feeling out, she didn't know why but she just couldn't hold it in anym ore, it was too painful, and no matter how hard she try, she wasn't able to fight it off.

Why is it so hard for me like this? Why is it so hard to see you as my brother? W hy? Why is it so hard to love you? Why am I being like this? Sulli cried, it hurt her to death.

And she got froze when she felt the two big arms wrapped around her, pulling her into his chest, she thought she even heard the strong heart beat near her ears.

Let me go, let me go! Sulli fight, she struggled to get out and punched at Min Ho.

Then her mind was blown away feeling his lips crash on hers in a passionate way. He held her tight and one of his hand pulled her head closer.

Min Ho kissed Sulli with all his heart and his pain.

Then he was about to pulled away when Sulli answered the kiss and held onto his chest, he could feel her tears on his face and he used his thumbs to sweep them off.

Sulli couldn't think anymore, the only thing she knew was his kiss and this moment , she knew she should push him away she knew, but this time, she couldn't, she jus t couldn't.

I'm sorry, Ssul Oppa's sorry, Ssul Min Ho whispered when he left her lips and embraced er in his arms.

Sulli didn't say anything, she just leaned on him and cried her heart out, she did n't know how long it was, it was just until she got tired from crying and fell asl eep in his arms.

That morning, Min Ho opened the door with his big smile as he knew last night he

had made it all up, this moment on, he could held her hands and lived with his true feeling, he smiled as he saw Sulli awake on the bed and she looked at him.

But

Min Ho oppa? Why are you here? Sulli asked with her confusing voice.

Yuri, who just followed behind Min Ho got stunned, too.

Why did Sulli asked Min Ho such question? Did Min ho just told her about what ha ppened between them last night?

Hi Yuri unnie Sulli said softly, seeing Yuri appear behind Min Ho.

She forgot everything happened that night. She completely forgot it.

*End of flashback*

Sulli had to held on Jogn Hyun arms to stand up, she saw Yuri behind Yong Hwa an d she just remembered the night that she forgot, no one told her about that nigh t, the night that they almost got back together, even 3 years before their force d wedding. Min Ho didn't tell her, too

Yuri smiled and an amusing glint flashed in her eyes when she signaled Sulli to come over.

How is he? How is Min Ho oppa? Sulli asked weakly

Can I just ask you to come with me for a while Sulli? We need to do this first And Yuri pulled Sulli with her into another room next to the emergency room, followi ng behind was Yong Hwa, Seo Hyun's husband.

How is oppa, unnie?

This is her chart Doctor Jung, I mean Yong Hwa ssi Can you see it? Yuri just smiled and show Yong Hwa the paper that she hung on the wall

This is the chart when she diagnosed with the syndrome when she was 14, and this one is when she was pregnant with Yoo Geun, her first baby Yuri stopped, looking a t Sulli

Then she turned a bit and pointed at the last chart on the wall which was displa yed by the monitor And this one is for the last 2 months

There are different Yong Hwa simply said

That's what I want to say, those three are different And it took me and Doctor Kim s everal months to work and study on this Yuri excitedly said

So, so you think what I learn from these docs is the same as your study? Yong Hwa asked back, and he looked at the nervous and worried Sulli.

Right, it's not the reason for her syndrome, and what we find out is far from what we thought in the past And one of the big reason that help us on the way is her, Sulli Thanks to her 2 pregnancy Yuri calmly said, she walked over Sulli and hold he r shaking shoulders.

Then she continued We still need time to make the conclusion, but at this moment, the only conclusion that we can say is her husband doesn't need to go for any fur ther checkup, the only thing that makes us worry is that his morning sickness is too serious that it makes him stress out without awareness and his heart has to suffered from that tiring Yuri laughed a bit as she saw Yong Hwa came to the oppo site side of the room and pulled aside the curtain, revealing a pale Choi Min Ho lying on the bed.

With a sheepish smile on his face.

Hi Ssul He shyly said. CHAPTER 27

GREEN RAIN

He was walking slowly on the green field, it was spring, and his lungs could cle arly feel the fresh air slowly go into every of his single vein.

A fresh and beautiful morning.

Green.

It was all green.

Then suddenly he saw a white rabbit ran out from a bush across his direction, an d the rabbit suddenly turned its way towards him with a quick roll and now, it w as there, right under his left foot.

He kneeled down slowly for not scaring the fatty white cutie and gently touched its head.

The rabbit blinked looking at his eyes.

Then it started to ran again, this time back to the bush.

Rabbie, where did you?

A girl's voice appeared behind the bush and Min Ho curiously stepped closer, he wa s so surprised finding a little girl in a white dress sitting on the ground behi nd the bush and holding the white rabbit in her arms.

He didn't know why his heart skipped a beat seeing the back of the little girl, be cause he was standing behind and he was tall, so he could see her two tiny hands hug and caress the soft fur of the rabbit.

And the little girl started to sing, wagging her wavy brown hair in the melody o f her song

I want to hide my slightly nervous heart And I want to firmly hold your hand and run We become fresher in the pouring green rain I used to be like a child,used to be immature But the reason I grew up is because of your eyes that believed in me, your one smile that was enough for me

He unknowingly grinned and chuckled a bit hearing the girl swallow cutely betwee n the song.

And that made the girl stopped.

She turned around and raised her head up.

Daddy? - Her eyes widened

He got shock hearing l's mouth and it was him tight, she found neck because he was

that single words slipped out from the beautiful little gir becoming shocker when the girl let the rabbit go then hugged the way and tiptoed a bit to wrap her small arms around his now kneeling down on the green grass.

I think I have to wait for a long time so see you Daddy, but I know it, I know it , I know you will come, I know you will come to see me Daddy! After burying her h

ead at his shoulder, the little girl cupped his face and said cheerfully, not st opping patting softly on and squeezing his face.

See? Rabbie, I told you, Daddy will come! The girl turn her head bit towards the r abbit

He hadn't had any chance to speak up as he quietly looked at the girl who was talk ing to the rabbit and he couldn't help but stand the amusing and loving feeling in his heart with her tiny hands still on his face.

How can you know that I'll come? He tried to speak in the condition of his mouth was now forming into a pout with the force of the two small hands.

Of course I know, I know you will come to see me, because you are Daddy, an Daddy knows best! She happily said as she hugged him again, tighter this time.

He smiled and rubbed her back gently.

How long have you been waiting? Is it long? Did Daddy make you wait for so long, Princess? He asked, caressing her brown wavy hair.

No, Daddy Mommy is crying all the way, but I told Mommy I will protect her and Dad dy will come to rescue us And here you come, I know it Daddy!

Mommy? Does Mommy cry?

Yeah, Daddy, Mommy cries and Mommy of me A pissing tone echoed in made she looked like her mother the nwell because of me? Water began

skipped her meal, but oppa tells me it's because her cute voice, and she then pouted, that gesture most - Is that true? Daddy? Mommy is feeling u to pooled up in her round big eyes

He pinched her cheeks and planted a kiss on her tiny nose, smilingly, he said No,

Princess, how can Mommy feel sick because of you Oppa is teasing you Not that, be lieve me

Really, Daddy?

Sure, Princess, how can Mommy get sick because of a beautiful and lovely princess like you?

I love you, Daddy

I love you, too Princess Thank you for coming

I will protect Mommy, Daddy, great grandma told me I was coming to protect Mommy, and you'll be here with me.. And now I don't scare anymore You are with me, right, D addy?

Sure Princess He kissed her fore head, and holding her in his arms, he stood up, sin ging softly near her ears.

Baby ready,now close your eyes and believe yourself Listen to your heart (to your heart) I'm with you (I'm with you) 'cause I love you so

Hi, Ssul Min Ho shyly said and his cheeks turned red when he hear Yuri and Yong Hwa try to suppress their chuckle.

We're leaving, then I'm gonna prepare for a re checking up for you after a while befor e letting you go home, now take rest Min Ho ssi Yong Hwa said, he glanced at Yuri who was now wrinkled her nose for not laughing so hard at the patient's reaction s eeing his wife and couldn't help but chuckle, not minding his faking serious tone anymore.

After the two doctors leaving, Min Ho was left alone with Sulli and the awkward atmosphere suddenly built up in the room.

They didn't know why but they couldn't look into each other eyes and both tried to a voiding eyes contact.

The air was getting thicker and thicker

Silence was covered the room.

The awkward silence.

Until

How are you?

How are you?

The two struggled to say something to break the air.

Sulli shyly looked away as her mouth hang opened to said something more but then she met his eyes.

Min Ho couldn't help but chuckle silently seeing his wife reaction, his heart felt like it was going to burst out when his nose tracing her aura and his eyes coul dn't take off of her blushing face.

I'm not feeling well, but I guess it soon fade away Min Ho answered

He decided to sit up and climbed out of the bed, Sulli was aware of his move and she nervously took a few steps back.

I'm good, too I think Sulli hesitated, somehow she remembered the fight the night befo e.

Her legs felt so weak looking at the gaze of his eyes, her heart race became une ven.

He smirked secretly at her anxious face, why did she always have to be this cute whenever she felt unsecured by him?

Sulli stopped when she felt her back touched the wall, her throat came dried as Min Ho slightly kick the chair away on his way.

I guess you're fine now cuz I'm the one who's unwell for you rite? He teasingly said, ke t on moving forward

Min Ho came closer and closer until Sulli was trapped between his body and the w all, the space left was too narrow that she could even hear her heart beat crazi ly.

She mumbled You. You

And.

Stop, I said stop moving forward! Don't get closer! Sulli drew all of her bravery ou t to raise her voice, her eyes shut close, she knew she should face him, this wa s nothing to feel this way but she just wasn't able to hold it in, she got so unea sy with her husband.

Why? Why can Onew hyung but not me? Min Ho asked, leaned down to her blushing face .

Onew oppa? Sulli asked in confusion, she had no idea why Min Ho mentioned about On ew.

You don't even let him come closer, he can even hug you, and enjoy your pat on his back Min Ho flatly said, his eyelashes flapped slowly with his breath.

You you saw us?

In the park, my wife was hugging my hyung and I saw it, no explain, huh, Ssul bab y? His husky voice brushed over her face.

Explain? Sulli blinked, she still hadn't understood his words and then a gasp escape d from her mouth, when he held her wrist and made her remember.

No, I have nothing to say! Her stubbornness grew high as Sulli suddenly remember t he fight the night before and his harsh words.

Really? Min Ho narrowed his eyes.

I have nothing to say with the one who snapped at me and told me I'm a burdensome! S he looked right into his eyes, and Min Ho couls see her eyes became misty.

That made his heart ache in pain.

He would die for a thousand times remember his madness towards Sulli that night and that killed him for not being able to touch her and say sorry.

He was such a bad husband, he promised not to make her cry but he ended up yelli ng at her.

Still mad at me? He asked in a softer tone, caressing her wrist which which still in his hand.

Sulli looked away.

Ssul

No

Ssul? Min Ho whispered

Baby ah, Mommy is mad again, what should Daddy do? This is my first time I know y ou, but Mommy won't let Daddy come closer, what should Daddy do?

I'm scared

Min Ho didn't understand his wife's words.

Still avoiding his gaze, Sulli took a deep breath as she continued.

I saw Tae Yeon unnie cried out of the garden and I heard her talk with Onew oppa

Min Ho saw the tears on her face.

Unnie said she wanted to to get the abortion she didn't want to give birth to the bab y, she didn't want to make the baby suffer from not having a father, she she said sh e felt like she was killing herself when she found out about her being pregnant , and she said she didn't want to tear Onew oppa and Luna apart She was crying when she told Onew oppa that she was not brave as me, to hold on my baby no matter wh at happened, she said she couldn't be strong like me, even when I was facing the d eath, I still could be able to hold on and I I Sulli couldn't stop the tears anymore.

Min Ho cupped her face and turned it to face him, he saw the tears and lift up h is thumbs to meet those them.

I felt into coma because I was being pregnant, right? Oppa? She cried softly

Why don't you tell me you're pregnant again, and you suffer alone? Why don't you tell m e you're scared Min Ho asked

When I heard about Tae Yeon noona's baby, I I was not so sure about me being pregnan t again That's why I asked you to come to the hospital with me, I said it was about your health but actually I was so scared oppa

I'm sorry, Ssul I'm sorry I'm a bad husband Min Ho scooped Sulli in his arms, he didn' how to describe his feeling at the moment, when she was having Yoo Geun, he didn't know it until she collapsed at Krystal home, and this time also, his scared lit tle wife was suffering alone but he didn't know it

Who the hell was he?

A husband?

I promise, Ssul This time I'll protect you

Sulli felt the warmness around and she turned her body to find it out.

Min Ho smiled when he saw her face, he reached out to grabbed her tiny waist and hugger tighter.

Have you felt sick again, oppa?

No Yoo Geun's little sister is a good girl, she won't bother her Daddy when he's with he r Mommy He lovingly said and kissed her cheeks

How can you know that she's a girl? Sulli giggled

I knew I met Ah, no It's secret Min Ho wrinkled his nose cutely

Secret?

Uhm Secret

You're even childish than Yoo Geun, oppa Yoo Geun's Daddy is like a baby more than him ulli pouted, unsatisfied with his reply.

Bcause Yoo Geun is a baby and he gets all of your attention so I have to be more like a baby to get you back Min Ho said

Oppa

Wae? Now can this baby kiss you? Min Ho eagerly asked, he couldn't get enough of her while cuddling her in his arms like this.

Will it be ok with Luna?

Min Ho looked down on Sulli, his heart sank, but not for her ruining their momen t, but for the love to his woman.

They're gonna be fine, Ssul Love will find a way I don't know how Onew hyung can get ov er this, but I know how he hasn't been struggling for all those years Just like me when I got stuck between my fear and love towards you But now I have you, and I k now, if we're mean together, we'll find a way

He kissed her forehead, as he continued.

I love you, and thanks to our beloved grandma, I've found the way Let's your heart deci des remember her words? This time, I can see it more clearly

Oppa

Oppa is here

Will it be alright this time? Our baby?

I promise, Ssul We've found the way, and we had come this far I promise, Princess I've c ome with the White horse, though it's a bit late and makes you wait, but I've come, and I promise I'll be there for you I love you

I love you too, oppa

Now, sleep tight, Princesses He kissed her lips and lingered there for a while.

Princesses? Sulli asked when he stopped kissing her.

Yeah, my Princess Jin Ri and Princess Baby

Sulli smiled and pecked his lips hearing his loving words, then she dreamingly d ripped off to sleep, in his arms.

Sulli slowly opened her eyes, she felt a bit heavy, and softly brushed at her pu ffy eyes.

She sat straight and saw the light from the window, she looked at her grandmothe r who was sleeping on the bed, squeezing her weak hand, Sulli's heart lit up seein g a smile forming on her lips. She was getting better for the last 2 weeks

The hospital room seemed a bit cold, Sulli stood up from her chair and looked ar ound.

A strange feeling brimmed up when her eyes met the Wedding dress hanging on the wall.

Is it all just a dream? Is it not, is not? Right? Sulli thought, closing her eyes.

She touched the Wedding dress, it was so beautiful.

All is just a dream all is only a dream

Sulli, dear Her grandmother called from behind

Grandma, you're awake? How do you feel? She rushed over to the bed, holding the old smiling woman's hand.

I told you to leave and rest at home, Ssul Look at your two eyes How can you be a b eautiful bride with a sleepless night? Tomorrow is your wedding day and how can you stay here with me and don't have a proper preparation?

I'm alright, grandma

You stubborn girl This ain't a fairy tale, grandma I thought it was But it was only a dream Tomorrow?

My wedding day CHAPTER 28

YOU ARE EVERYWHERE

It was morning already and she was standing in front of the mirror looking at he rself.

She was wearing that white wedding dress and Krystal was behind her, trying to t ailor the ribbon on the back of the dress.

Ok, done, Ssul How do you feel? Is it too tight or too loose? Her Maid of Honor ask ing while busily picking up the bridal bouquet in on the table.

It's alright Soo Jung, thank you She softly answered.

Are you sure you still wanna make it? Are you sure you still wanna carry this pla n on? Krystal held the pearl crown on her hand, stopping putting it on her hair.

I am, Soo Jung ah

And now, just like in her dream, she was sitting on a creamy white couch in the Bridal room.

She was in her white Wedding Dress. The White Wedding Dress she adored while sta nding outside the Wedding Boutique that day. That day she was 10.

It was 12 years ago when she told her grandmother she would want this wedding dr ess to be her on the day she gets married. And here she had it.

Victoria unnie hugged her and told her she was the most beautiful bride that she had ever seen in her life while Krystal whispered she looked like even more tha n a Princess. Amber took the pictures of the five of them together and Luna tell her the same thing she said in her dream that she has last night.

You're so beautiful, Sulli, our bride is so beautiful

Was it a real deja vu?

She was not a princess anymore, she was not a little girl anymore but why did sh e feel this way? Why did it have to be this way?

This wedding is for real, she looked like a princess, but no, she wasn't. And a pr incess should marry her Prince Charming but she wouldn't.

The man she would marry was not her Prince at all.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she felt the pain ache in her heart. How she des perately want it to happen as in her dream last night. She realized how she want

ed it to become real. And that hope gripped her heart, it stung at her lungs, an d she felt a cold sword was stabbing at her back, she couldn't breathe at all with that thought only, it hurt her so bad that she just wanted to collapse.

Everything happened was just in my dream, the wedding, and everything that happen ed after that was only a dream Dream comes true, but only in fairy tale, and this ain't a fairy tale, this is real life She closed her eyes, holding the tears in, af ter all, she was never be a princess.

And this was not a fairy tale.

Excuse me, Miss Sulli I mean, this is the last time, someone calls you Miss, from th e moment on, you will be Mrs. Choi. Congratulations on your Wedding day. Your fa ther is waiting outside. The ceremony is beginning The wedding planner came in and smiled, she helped her stand up and prepare.

Sulli got stunned a bit, why did it go on just exactly as in her dream? And even the Wedding Planner was hthe same?

She slowly went out of the room with confusion and the question kept playing rep eatedly in her mind, her hands shaking in both the anxiousness and the hope, she still had that little hope when she heard the Wedding planner's voice behind her back.

What was going on here actually? Sulli's eyes grew wider as her feet set on the lo bby floor.

At the lobby, her bride maids were in their gowns, smiling.

Victoria winked at her.

Luna thumped up.

Amber pouted, reminding her to smile.

Krystal, her Maid of honor gave her the bridal bouquet.

Rose. Pastel pink rose.

Everything was the same, just like a slow motion movie which was being re shown in front of her eyes and her mind.

As if she saw the bride's face became pale, Krystal secretly squeezed her hands un der the bouquet and whispered Hey, Bride, don't hang that poker face on your beauti ful face, or else, I would slap your butt until you cry. There's no groom in this world who wants to see this face from his bride. You two have decided, and if yo u want, there's still time for you to cancel the ceremony and run away. But once y ou take your father's hand and come inside with him, please smile and be happy. Pr omise me, Ssul? She didn't answer.

How could she answer Krystal? How could she tell her that every of her recent si ngle word was just the same as the words she told her in the dream last night? H er throat became so dry that she didn't even feel the taste in her mouth anymore. What was happening?

She got scared. She wanted to run away from this weird situation.

Then suddenly out of nowhere, a voice appeared in her mind telling her to keep o n moving up. That strong voice pulled her back on her feet.

If this was not a fairy tale, why didn't she follow her heart and step inside, no matter what happen, it was true that she could still make it real, wasn't it?

Why couldn't she give herself a chance?

If fairy tale was not real and was fabricated by human, why didn't she make it her self?

I know something's gone awry but I feel like going on I know I could be wrong but I also could be right

She took a deep breath and simply nodded.

Mr. Choi whispered Are you ready, dear? Shall we come in?

The big door opened.

Here came the Bride.

This was really a dj vu.

She grabbed the bouquet tighter when the light from the grand hall shined on her .

The Bridal March played melodiously on her ears.

All eyes were on her. She could barely figure out where the parents were, and sh e saw her grandmother turned around to see her.

She smiled at her.

That smile, Sulli's heart skipped a beat as she saw her grandmother's smile.

It was different, in her dream, she didn't turned around and smiled at her like th is. Something was not right, and also this smile, but when their eyes met, Sulli felt at peace, and warmness covered her shaking hands, just like her grandmothe r's hands were on her, holding it gently, rubbing it lovingly.

Sulli looked up when she went close to the end of the aisle, her heart raced in a speedy tune, her view became blur

He was standing there at the end of the altar, he smiled.

That smiled, it was also different from the dream. Something in his eyes that sp arkled and she couls barely see it through the radiant on his smiling face.

He shyly bit his lips when his eyes met hers.

It was also different from the dream.

She knew if his smile was the same as the smile that she once told him when they were young that The groom will stand at the end of the aisle, with his big silly happiest smile waiting for me

Her heart beat faster when she realized that look on his face.

Was it real?

She looked into his eyes, all of her nervousness and worry just faded away. I know something's gone awry but I feel like going on, I know I could be wrong but I also could be right And I feel the earth is turning faster before I saw you there, I feel the sky is spinning lighter before I saw you there And I see the things are not the same again, cause you're here cause you're there ca use you're everywhere Now I know how my times can be still in the way, hope this could last until we f ind brighter days I know how my times can be still in the way I hoping this could last until we fad e away I know something's gone awry but I feel like going on I know I need to say good bye for I'm off for the brand new days with you

All those words played soundly in her mind.

What's wrong here, when she felt her father's left hers and they were taken by anoth er hand.

Ssul?

She stopped being spaced out hearing he call for her.

She looked up, and he smiled, again.

Did I smile just like the way you want your groom to in the wedding day when he w as waiting for you? He whispered, his eyes blinked when he glanced at her.

Big silly smile She murmured

Now, Groom and Bride, please say your vows together The host's voice broke her though t

And she felt like she was on the cloud as he took her hands with both of his two .

He looked into her eyes.

I, Choi Min Ho, take you, Choi Jin Ri, to be my wife, to have and to hold from th is day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and i n health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, in the presence of God I make this vow.

Her eyes got misty. His eyes and his voice were so true, so loyal.

I, Choi Jin Ri, take you, Choi Min Ho, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness an d in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's h oly law, in the presence of God I make this vow.

Now I announce you as Husband and Wife You may kiss the bride

Sulli gulped down

In her dream, there was no part of the kissing scene.

She blushed and her heart almost stopped when she felt his two hands cupped her face, he lift up her head making her look at in eyes.

Is my smile silly enough? Am I silly enough, Princess? He asked sweetly, amusing g lint flashed through his eyes realizing how pink she was.

You're not Oppa

Not enough? He asked back

Then I will make it up this time

And his lips descended on her soft lips in front of the attendants at the Weddin g ceremony.

The kiss was gentle at first and it became sweeter and sweeter when Sulli took a ll of her brave to answer him, her hands held the bouquet onto his chest.

Am I silly enough? Mrs. Choi?

Sulli closed her eyes, she didn't know what to say when his lips left hers.

He smiled as he whispered

I love you, Choi Sulli I love you

Oppa

Grandma told me this last night Let your hearts flow You'll find the answer soon, my d ear Min Ho It's time for you to move on, take her hands or not, it's still the right time for you to move on and find the answer for the question you asked me on tha

t January night, two months before her 15th birthday

And Ssul, I've found my answer, it's you

Sulli opened her eyes.

He was there, right in front her eyes.

He smiled.

That big silly smile.

The smile that could melt her heart down.

The smile that never leave her mind foe all those years.

Oppa

I'm here

Which one is the dream, this one, the one I've just had or even the previous one? Wh ich one is the dream And am I dreaming?

He just smiled and hugged her tighter.

Even if it's a dream, even though they're all dream, I'll still love you in those dream s

Her heart flustered hearing his words.

He kissed her sweetly.

Really?

I have Yoo Geun here and this little Princess here to witness all of my words He sa id, rubbing her round belly.

How can I know it?

Because you're here, and you're there And you're everywhere CHAPTER 29

WHITE HORSE

Min Ho lovingly kissed his wife's cheek while their hands were holding each other.

Here they come, Ssul He whispered

Sulli smilingly turned her head towards the aisle and her face brightened up as she saw the three of them walk down together to the altar.

Mr. Kim, Krystal and Tae Yeon's father, he was walking down the aisle, holding his two daughters' hands along from both his sides.

Today was Tae Yeon and Krystal's wedding day. Today the siblings decided to tie th e knot with their two grooms, the men of their lives, with the witness of their most beloved family and friends and of course, with their two little angels also .

Min Ho chuckled and squeezed Sulli's hand as he thought of the idea. Both of the b rides were so beautiful and they shined even more because not only being the bri des, they were now the two young mothers who were carrying their babies within.

That might be one of the most shocking news to Uncle Kim, the father, when one n ight back in 4 months ago, he as waken up by two of the neighborhood young men a nd the only reason for that surprised midnight visit was they came to ask for hi s permission to marry his two daughters, Kim Tae Yeon and Kim Soo Jung, known as Krystal. But the most shocking news was waiting for him ahead was that Mr. Kim was becoming a grandfather of the two babies in the next 8 months.

That night, Min Ho had just been discharged from the hospital after Yong Hwa pro cessed some tests on him, and with the positive result of Yuri's examining on Sull i, they were both happily heading home and

*Flash back*

I think tonight you guys should just rest, cuz I see Min Ho is not that good thou gh, you still look a bit pale, son... Sulli's father said in concern, he lapped sof tly on his son in law's shoulder as he raised up from the sofa and turned to his w ife...

Honey, the kids are both tired for this long day, Min Ho still looks pale and Ssu l, she may feel sick after all How do you feel, sweetheart? His big hand cupped Su lli's face, dried tears somehow were still there on her face.

I'm fine Dad Don't worry Sulli said smiling, actually she was dead tired from a long da spending on crying, worrying, and a lot of mixed feelings that she had to exper ience through many news, but as always, she never wanted to worry her parents an d the elders.

How can you not, dear? Only being pregnant that makes you feel tired you also have experienced such a complicated day Her father said, his eye brows knitted togethe r and he continued moreover, Min Ho is uhm.. not feeling well also He hid his chuck e as he turned to hold the sleeping Yoo Geun in his arms Tonight, honey, just let these two young parents rest, we'll bring Geunie home and leave his parents for a long sleep without worrying about their son, your mom and I will take care Geuin e tonight, just go to sleep and rest yourselves, kids

But Dad, I think we're ok Sulli hesitated - I can

But she was cut by her husband happy but try to - pretend not voice Thank you Dad,

actually, I think we should let Ssul rest for a while, she's too tired today We're s orry if we bother you

Good, son No objection, Ssul You two aren't bothering us, when you need help, you sho uld receive one hand from the others, especially your parents, our help is not o nly a help, but also an order, then, no excuse, no complain, no objection. Sulli's f ather said in a firm voice, he was a very determined man, and if he talked with this tone, it meant he was dead serious about his words, and Sulli learnt it fro m the days she was only a little girl. That was why she just stood up to hug her mom goodbye and kissed her son forehead saying Be nice cutie pie, sleep well, do n't wake up at the midnight and make your grandparents stay up all night, ok?

Thank you, Dad She kissed her father's cheek

No need to, giant baby Yoo Geun's grandfather kissed his daughter back and smiled war mly at Min Ho.

We'll come tomorrow, good night Dad, good night Mom, thank you for taking care of u s and Yoo Geun Min Ho opened the door for their parents

Good night, kids Mr. Kim said before turning around and whispered something into Mi n Ho's ear making him blush and for that he received a big laugh from his father i n law and started laughing, too.

Sulli pouted at that scene and just smiled because her mother also didn't know wha t happened between the two, she just rolled her eyes mischievously and said Bye S sul, good night, and sleep well sweetheart Let's go honey, Yoo Geun need to sleep p roperly

Min Ho smirked, looking at his wife's innocent face when he finally closed the doo r behind him.

So, Mrs. Choi He swallowed hard seeing his wife's pouty lips

Why do say yes so easy? Are we bothering Dad and Mom? Sulli asked immediately when she saw Min Ho looked back, biting her lower lips

You heard your Dad, not only a help, but an order And you know, sometimes when Dad dies are really scary Being a son in law, we'd better know what the right thing to do, or else Min Ho said, suppressing his giddy tone

What did dad just tell you?

It's men's thing, you know Min Ho smirked again, he came closer and the only thing he w anted now was time alone with his beloved little, actually his giant baby wife Th ough being a mother of the two babies, to him, she was still that giant baby tha t he always want to hug tight and cuddle her in his arms forever, he just want t o enjoy the moment of lying beside her and enjoy her softness, her lovely aura a nd her addictive lips. And thanks to his ever wise father in law, now he had tha t chance to be with his wife for one night and that excited him so much Finally He missed her so much since the day they got into the stupid fight.

Sulli pouted.

Don't pout, I don't like that view Min Ho said flatly as he cupped her face

Why? Sulli asked, surprising

Just stop pouting

You don't like it? Even when you see something that you don't like that can make you feel unwell, oppa? Sulli asked, blinking her eyes.

Babo Min Ho smilingly whispered and just in seconds, his pressed his lips on her, b lowing her questioning mind away with a sweet turn into passionate kiss.

After a while lasted as forever, Min Ho moved a little away, his forehead rested on hers.

Little Princess He whispered

Oh? I'm not little anymore

Little Princess Min Ho took a deep breath - do you know how much I love your mom? Ho said, faith crossed all over his eyes and love was full in his voice.

Sulli didn't know how to react at her husband's sincere and loving words. She just s tood there and starred into his eyes.

I love you Sulli More than I can even know it Min Ho said, his eyes were full of lov e and admiration for his wife.

I love you too, Min Ho oppa A single tear flew down the milky white cheek from her watery eyes.

I love you too, Min Ho oppa She closed her eyes and tiptoes to give Min Ho another truly deep kiss while his thumbs touched her cheeks and sweep away the tears.

I love you too, Jin Ri Once again, Min Ho declared his love.

They were there, in each other's arms for a long time, embracing every single mome nts they could with their heartbeats and the melody of each other's warmness.

Then.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Min Ho frustrated as he reluctantly pulled ch his phone on the table. He was planning time being alone together. He wondered who like this. He poured all of his irritation t mada Sulli chuckled.

out from Sulli and reached out to cat to scoop her up and enjoy their rare was so ignorant to ruin their moment into the way he got the phone and tha

But then his face turned seriously as he looked at the screen.

He remember how he and Sulli ran out of their apartment that night to Tae Yeon's h ouse when he heard Sulli's father said with his firm but desperate voice

Min Ho, I know we've just leave your house and you kids may rest now, but I think y ou should go out here and come to Tae Yeon and Soo Jung's house immediately, I thi nk Jong Suk, their father, he must kill Jin Ki and Tae Min if there is nobody he re to help. Me and your father aren't that strong, you know Hurry come, because I've

just heard him say about something Oh My God, Jong Suk, you might kill Jin Ki wit h that bat Oh my God, please calm down, we always have ways to resolve this, and, Soo Jung, oh my, girl, don't cry

And the view was so messy there...

Sulli's eyes grew wider when she saw both of Onew and Tae Min were kneeling down o n the floor in front of the ever red Uncle Kim

With Min Ho's mom on the stairs with the crying Soo Jung and the pale Tae Yeon.

You two, how dare you!!!!!!!!!!!! I said how dare you???? Both of them? My two pr ecious daughter??? How dare you???? I'll kill you, kill you both!!!!

End of flashback*

Min Ho chuckled as he saw uncle Kim threw a deadly glare to Tae Min and Onew wh en he gave his two precious daughters' hands to the two grooms who were silly smil ed at his bride.

I think I know how your Dad and Uncle Kim feel after all Min Ho whispered

Sulli just smiled at him knowingly.

Look at their two silly faces Min Ho stopped to suppress his laugh - how can a father can give his precious and beautiful girls to them?

They're all very beautiful brides though being 5 months pregnant right? Sulli asked, looking at the two brides Tae Yeon and Krytal were 5 months pregnant but they lo oked just a bit chubby and thanks to Victoria's best eyes, she found them two wedd ing dresses that no only beautiful but also could help them hide the round belly .

You're the most beautiful bride in my eyes, Ssul Min Ho squeezed her hands and whispe

red before planted a kiss on her temper.

Really?

Didn't you realize it? Couldn't you see it? My silly smile when I saw you walked down the aisle with your father Didn't it prove it all?

I was so nervous at that time, besides That time At our wedding, we

The only thing I regret marrying you

Regret? Sulli raised her eyes brows, asking in surprising

Uhm

You have something that you regret marrying me? Sulli asked again, totally pissed off

That I can't have a kiss with my bride just like these two lucky guys up there Lookin g at her, he lovingly said

Sulli's heart still skipped a beat very time she heard his sweet words.

You don't have to worry about that You did kiss me back then Sulli whispered back

Huh?

I told you You did kissed me And our Wedding was just sweet as them With you and me together, not a wedding with two aching hearts, but the two happy and full of lo ve wedding Sulli touched his face softly, remembering what she saw in her dream pr eviously They might not have a truly happy wedding as they thought, but at least in her dream, she could feel it, so real and so sweet as the way Min Ho loved he r now.

I love you, Choi Sulli

I love you too, Min Ho oppa She smiled

But suddenly.

Sulli felt a gut in her stomach, something that gripped her organs inside.

Something was wrong.

She queezed Min Ho hands and gulped down to looked at her belly.

What's wrong Ssul? Min Ho became worry as he saw Sulli's face suddenly turned pale, an d sweat appeared on her tempers like she was hurt somewhere.

I Oppa Something Our baby Sulli answered in her cracking voice.

What's wrong, do you hurt somewhere? How do you feel? Min Ho asked, but seemed to Su lli, everything suddenly turned so blur now, all the view and her ability to see , it all came blur now because of the pain.

Sulli got scared.

Really scared.

Baby, baby please, not like this not like this Don't scare mommy out, baby She closed er eyes and tried to breath desperately

But it was too painful and she thought she couldn't make it

Ssul what's wrong Ssul Min Ho got panic he couldn't think straight anymore

I I think I'm in labor oppa I think our baby is coming oppa I think Her breath was une and she her cold hands shook.

How can? How can next week you will be 8 months pregnant, how can it be?... How But m in Ho was cut off when he saw the red blood line flew down from her legs.

And the only thing Sulli could hear before she passed out due to the extreme pai n was Min Ho voice calling for her and the crying face of Krystal and Tae Yeon, the two brides ran along with her at the hospital lobby, still wearing their wed ding dress.

I'm sorry Soo Jung I'm sorry Tae Yeon unnie for making mess with at your wedding She we kly whispered.

Min Ho ssi!

Min Ho stood up with his scattering red shirt His face was emotionless when Yong Hwa flapped reassuringly on his shoulders.

We need to carry the operation immediately for both her health and the baby's Yong Hw a stopped for a while when he saw his wife, Seo Hyun's teary eyes at the corner o f the lobby looking at him hopefully the baby's life you know, my friends here is the best doctors for those situation like this, they'll try their best to help her an d save the baby life

Save? Saving only means when you cannot tell clearly about the possibility, right? It means something is wrong, right? Min Ho asked, his shoulders shook.

I won't lie you that this is a big case, and we need to do the operation for both t he mother and baby's sake, but we'll try our best, and as you know, your wife is a s trong woman I'm going in with my colleagues, and Yuri, as her consultant, she is al lowed to be inside with Sulli too, so, don't worry Yong Hwa wore his mask and went i nside, before giving Min Ho a grip in on his arms.

Her blood pressure is going down, Dr. Kim! We need to do something

She's losing a huge amount of blood, and her heart beats it was double to the normal pace!

Her brain! Check on her brain, what's wrong? Minutes ago when the baby was still ok the amount of oxygen of her brain was still alright but after we found out that the baby was facing the line, her brain became numb Nurse Jung, please check on it, what's wrong?

Dr. Kim! Everything is turning upside down, seconds ago, the mother was the one w ho can save first, but then now the baby is safer We need to take the baby first!

No, no please try to save both of Sulli and her baby.. We have to try our best Yuri cried, her voice cracked hearing what the doctors said.

We don't have time to hesitate Dr. Kwon, if we hesitate, we may both lose two of th em, but now the bay's condition is more positive and it needs help first

Dr. Go I'm afraid we have to choose between the two of them I think both are at risk, if we don't act fast, we can lose both, please give us the instruction, we need to save one!

She opened her eyes and realized she was lying on a white wooden bench on a flow er garden.

Everything was so bright and shining.

She sat up and looked down on her belly.

You're still here, thanks God you're still here with mommy She smiled and her heart was at joy when she saw her still round belly, the signal of her baby still being t here and safe. She didn't feel the pain anymore.

But where is this place?

Sulli eyes widened as she saw an old smiling woman walk towards her.

Grandma?

Hi Princess Her grandmother smiled and livingly hugged her.

Why are you here And why why am I here How can I meet you here I mean

And she felt a slump at her throat when it turned dried at her realization.

She looked up, her shaking hands held to her chest.

Am I Am I with you at the heaven now, grandma? Is it real? This place is the heaven right? She asked in her teary voice.

Not actually, but sort of sweetheart.

That means Me and my baby

Not yet, dear remember what your baby tell you whenever you met her in your dream? She comes to protect you That's why you're here Time for her to go with me

No, grandma My baby won't Why? So everything is meaningless? Why do you have to let h er come to protect me and then take her away? No

It's fate Ssul my dear, don't cry

No, I won't let anything happened to my baby, no grandma, I won't leave her her alone

She's going with me

Grandma, but the place you are, I am not there

It's fated

You teach me to fight against fate, grandma Remember that, you teach me to fight!

I'm glad that finally, you remember Her grandmother smiled softly as she held her han ds.

Grandma

I just want you to remember that thing, fairytales are fabricated by us, and you have to fight to make your own fairytale

Is this place the heaven Grandma?

I prefer the name The Chronicle of a place in this world than the Heaven dear

Where is this?

A place for you to make your own choice

Do I have my choice

As always, sweetheart This place, there is a Choi Jin Ri and we're waiting for her to coming back It's almost the time And we hope, she can make a right decision Her fate was written all over here With her another life Remember, you can always have your

own choice, but a choice always hase its price, you can't take it allIt's time, Ssul

Min Ho oppa I love you She smiled, a single tears feel on the flowery ground.

This isn't goodbye, even as I watch you leave, this isn't goodbye I swear I won't cry, even as tears fill my eyes, I swear I won't cry

Min Ho didn't say anything, he just sat there and held her hand

I love you, Choi Sulli, forever and always

Sometimes, the Prince Charming doesn't come with his White Horse, but just he comes with his heart And you're not a Princess, but if you're brave enough to love It's worth being together Though it doesn't mean forever

Three years later

He stopped the car at the big gate. Snow was falling down and cover the ground u nder their feet.

He put the hat on her little daughter's head and scooped her in his arms.

His son, he ran out of the car and touched the snow.

Daddy, look at this the snow are falling!!! I love snow Dad

Be careful, Yoo Geun, make sure that you don't fall on the ground He called for the b oy, that boy, he's always so smart, so active and got into trouble easily

I'm 4 years old, Daddy come on I'm a man now Grandpa told me that I can protect Yoomi no he boys shouted cheerfully

Super Man Choi Yoo Geun! Super Man oppa The little girl in his arms, she squealed h appily

The three of them enter the big White door of the cemetery, and as their habit, the kids stopped talking, they looked at each other and slowly received the whit e rose bouquet from their father.

Their footsteps were seen stopped at one block.

They lift up their head to look at the picture on the wall.

He lovingly looked at the smiling face on the wall and placed the white rose on the counter, followed by the two innocent kids

Good morning I'm sorry for not coming here lately you know, me alone with our two kid s I'm busy You know So don't sulk on us, huh? You know we miss you, right? Yoo Geun, he has his activities at school and Yoomi, she has just come to the kindergarten An d me I miss you you know it, right?

Daddy Yoo Geun looked at the wall and tugged his father's sleeve - Does mommy miss us, Dad?

A sting hit his heart

It hurt him.

He patted his head and smiled while fixing the hat on Yoomi's.

What do you think, Yoomi?

Mommy loves us, and no matter where she is, she will always love us and miss us

Good girl, good girl You're right cutie pie She loves us and so do we, we love her fore ver and always
