Jung Yonghwa's Other Woman
Yonghwa was having dinner at the Seo apartment. The man of the house, his father in law, was on a business trip abroad so there was only him, Seohyun, his mother in law and Dubu, of course. He had promised that before he goes to Japan for their Zepp Tour, he’ll spend his free time with them.
“Oh Yonghwa-yah, have some more of the jigae. ” Seo Yong Al said as she put in more soup into his bowl.
“Ne, thank you Omonim. I will miss your cooking, for sure.”
“I know right, that’s why I prepared some dishes for you and your brothers. Eat them before you all go to Japan and won’t even eat decent home cooked meals”….she said sweetly, leaned to Yonghwa and whispered “Or I can pack you some more and sneak them into the plane, you can do that right?” she said with a wink.
“Omma, how can you say that to Oppa. He’ll get caught by that sniffing dog and he’ll get summoned by Customs. Trust me, that’s not a very fun experience. ” Seohyun said recounting the way she was interrogated at the airport in LA because of the tomato snack she forgot that she had on her bag.
“I have confidence in Yonghwa’s ninja skills. ” Her mother reasoned to which Seohyun just rolled her eyes and turned to Yonghwa.
“Oppa, you have to try some more of the curry I cooked. Tell me, haven’t I improved?” She pouted.
“Ne, Hyun-ah, you’re the best curry cook in Seoul!” Hearing the compliment she was waiting for, she clapped her hands only to be disappointed when he added “second to Omonim, of course!”
“Ah cham!”
She had once voiced out how she thinks that he loves her mother more than he loves her already. He kept on spoiling her with gifts and compliments.
“Oppa, you buy Omma more gifts than you do to me. Don’t you think I get jealous, too? Even if she’s my mother.”
“Yah Seo Joo Hyun, how can you get jealous of your own mother. It’s your fault, anyways. You always tell me to stop buying you gifts whenever I give you, so what do I do? ”
Remembering that and sensing that she could be upset with his last comment that was meant to tease her, he tapped her shoulder and smiled widely.
“Oh Seohyun-ah. So pretty. ”
She eyed him suspiciously. “What is?”
“Your neck. You’re wearing the butterfly necklace!”
“Of course! I wear it every day! ”
“Oh, I’m wearing mine too, Yonghwa!” Her mother chimed in.
With that, Seohyun made a mental note. I’ll tell Appa that the next time he leaves for a business trip, he has to bring Omma along with him. Arrgh! And let’s not even start with how Yonghwa’s been babying Dubu since I had her.
“Omona, so pretty!” Yonghwa complimented, all his attention back to his mother in law.
“Oh by the way, I bought you a new pair of shoes!” He brought out 2 boxes of sandals. “One for you, and you Hyun-ah. There’s one for Dubu, too! Ah isn’t this cute?” He said, adoring the little shoes for the dog, smiling widely...feeling proud of his gifts!
“Ah jeongmal?! Couple shoes! They’re pretty! Thank you son!” Her mother hugged him. She just pouted.
“Wae, Hyun? You don’t like it?”
“I do!!!” She said almost immediately, not wanting to hurt his feelings. “But Oppa, didn’t you say, you didn’t like buying shoes for anyone coz someone said that they might leave you?”
His eyes widened. He did say that once. “Sorry Omonim, can I have it back? I’ll buy you something else.” Only Omma? He isn’t even trying to get mine back? Seohyun complained inside her head.
“Aigoo, I’ve been in this world for more than 40 years, there is no such thing.”
“But omonim, I can’t risk it. What would I do if I lose you?” He asked…collecting Dubu’s shoes too.
“Eh? Will never happen. I will never have anyone else for a son in law.”
“I love you Omonim!!!” And the mother and son hugged, the daughter, once again feeling left out, not hearing anything of the conversation as the two started whispering.
“I love you, too. Besides, this girl loves you too much.”
“I know, Omonim. Thank you!”
“You two, let me know when you’re done with your love talk. Aigoo.” Seohyun gave up. “I’ll have to go to Busan one of these days. At least there I have all of Omonim and Abonim’s love. Hmmph.”
When they started dating for real, she was afraid she’ll have to deal with sharing him with his mom most of the time. Little did she know, her mom would be her number 1 contender for his attention. The 2 mothers actually had an understanding before. “I’m sorry if I have been keeping Yonghwa to myself dear.” Her mom told his mom. “Ani, kwenchana.. I have another son to spoil, you can have Yonghwa all you want as long as you let me be with Seohyun, as much as her schedule permits.”
It was after another hour when her mom resigned to her room for the night, leaving them both in the living room.
“Finally.” She said looping her hands on his waist.
“Hmm?” He asked returning the embrace, more tightly.
“I can finally have my alone time with my boyfriend, is all.”
“Aigoo. ”
“Yah! Don’t aigoo me Oppa. You're leaving in the morning!”
“I love you.” He didn’t even wait for her to reply and kissed her instead. That shut her up and made her forget her random jealousy.
2 days after, while Yonghwa was preparing to enter the stage in Sapporo with his brothers, he received a text from someone named Seo Yong Al. There was a photo attachment of her selca saying “Yonghwa-yah, I’m accompanying Joohyun to SME today. Guess what, Im wearing the sandals you bought me the other day! Yay, am I not the best? Kekeke take care and have a good stage! Fighting!”
He smiled to himself. Indeed, she was the best. He showed the photo to his dongsaeng-deul bragging on how his mother in law is so cool!
Moments later, someone in Seoul received the same image from her boyfriend with a new caption. “Hey, look what I got from your Mom. =) ”
Seohyun stared at the same picture that she was just about to send to him. She could only sigh. “I can see that Mom has already beaten me into sending you the pic. o.O BTW, I brought my guitar today. Fighting on your performance Oppa! I love you!” She replied with a half bitter smile.
She realized she doesn’t have a chance to compete for Yonghwa’s attention with a sneaky woman…who happened to be her mom. Well, she would rather have him this attached with her Omma than any random girl right?
Right.
AN: Annyeong gogu chingus. Mwahaha. Took me 3 weeks to have another update, didn't I? Aigoo. i can't even say I was busy with work. Haay, so this story was born after I saw Hyun and her Omma's couple shoes. I thought of the couple necklace Yonghwa gave them as a present during WGM so there. I have a few more drabble ideas sitting in my head, I wish I can find my lost chingu named creativity soon so I can write some more.
Seohyun is so pretty in black tonight isn't she? And Yonghwa, is so cool on that snowboarding video! Please stop me from falling so much more in love with them. =)

She eyed him suspiciously. “What is?”
