PROMISE
Another chapter to go...I'm feeling a little tired because lack of sleep. Who asked me to watch midnight movie?
“Yoochun, why taking you so long to pick up Joong Hee?” Jae Joong questioned because he already waited quite long in the car.
“Mommy, papa met his old friend. They seem quite close together & even hugging” Joong Hee interrupting the conversation.
“What? Hugging who Chunnie?”
“You will meet that person one day, Joongie” Yoochun try to calm Jae Joong who seems so curious to know who he met.
Is that person who called Yoochun the other day? Jae talking to himself. Suddenly the situation become so quiet, none of them want to talk about it.
But Joong Hee, “Mommy, did you know who is papa best friend?”
“Why honey? Off course I do”
“So that means you know him” Joong Hee being so talkative made Yoochun feeling uncomfortable.
“Him? You met a him, Yoochun?” Jae started to shout at Yoochun.
Yoochun kept silent not to answer Jae Joong’s but Jae Joong really want to know who the person is.
“Ah! We almost home now” tried to avoid answering Jae Joong’s.
Jae Joong POV:
Why Yoochun acting like that? He doesn’t want me to know who he met?
I hate him for making me such a fool with that question. Who could that be?
I have needed to know……..sighed.
End POV
“Joong Hee, come help mommy to take your school beg. Chunnie, make sure you pick up all the groceries to the kitchen & I hate you for keeping me waiting for the answer” Jae Joong gave a glare to Yoochun as he entered the house.
“How am I to tell him, I met Yunho. How supposed I react when Yunho knows I live with Jae Joong. I’m getting into trouble now. What about Joong Hee?” Yoochun still holding at his car stearing.
Inside the house.
The telephone rang and Jae Joong quickly pick up.
“Hello, Jae Joong speaking”
“Jae Joong? Thank God you pick up the phone” hearing the happy voice on the other side.
“Junsu, is that you?”
“Ne, it’s me. Are you alone, Jae?”
“Yoochun still outside the house, Changmin still hasn’t back yet & Joong Hee in her room”
“Oh good! I just need to talk to you. I will be back soon but please don’t let anyone know about it because I want to surprise them. I’m coming back for good Jae”
“Really? For good?” “Yeah, I just tendered my resignation because I miss the place where I belong & the most important thing is I miss my hubby Jae”.
“Oh! Sure you do Junsu & I bet he misses you too” Jaejoong tried to be happy for him.
“Okay Jae, I will be back this weekend so just pretend you don’t know about it”
“Okay Junsu, bye” hang up the phone, Jae lean his back to the wall.
“Junsu is coming back? What I’m going to do then” Jae heavily sighed.
Jae Joong POV:
Junsu is coming back, Yoochun will be very happy then but what am I supposed to do, pretending that I’m okay with that. Wait! Am I got jealous? No! I shouldn’t have that feeling. I should be thankful for being allowed to do what I wanted. Junsu such a good friend, he really understands my situation but what about Yoochun? What about my feeling?
I don’t want to get hurt again, enough for me getting hurt …I WANT MY HUSBAND!
I felt my knee loosen, I knelt on the floor. No way I can stop my tears from flowing. God please help me!
Is this how supposed to be? I felt my happiness is going to go away from me. Now I cried harder & couldn’t bear with it anymore….
Suddenly the door opened and someone touching my arms
“Jae, what happened?” Yoochun husky voice echoed my ears.
“Yoochun, don’t leave me alone” I jumped up and got into his embrace.
“What happened? Why would I’m leaving you?” Yoochun curiosity asked.
“Jae?” I can’t even answer him. I choked with my own tears. I just want him to hold me…close and tight, to feel safe. What, now I start to fall in love with Yoochun? No..no..no..I can’t do that.
That night I locked myself in my room, leaving Yoochun, Changmin & my little girl outside the room and doing their own stuffs. Changmin prepared the dinner but I don’t have appetite to eat anymore.
Joong Hee keeps calling me but I don’t have the strength to go to the door & she cried. I heard her papa, consoled her to leave me alone. I’m helpless….
Yoochun tried to talk to me but I don’t have the energy to reply and don’t know what to think of anything right now. I need time for myself now.
I should be happy for Junsu because he owns the most handsome, kind hearted guy I’ve ever met. Why should I feel so upset? I don’t love him, I mean I do love him but not that kind of LOVE. I just couldn’t understand myself now….
“Just leave me alone, Yoochun” I whispered to my pillow and after few minutes I dozed into a deep sleep when I open my eyes it’s already morning.
I wake up weakly because I didn’t take anything to eat since yesterday afternoon. Slowly I dragged my legs to the bathroom, taking my bath and quickly get dress. Unlocked the door & slowly walk to the hall. Nobody there, where is everybody?
Today is Saturday; Yoochun normally not going anywhere on weekend except he need to settle things in the restaurant. He’ll spend the whole day with Joong Hee and me. Changmin is always spending his time at his workshop & Joong Hee? Where is my daughter?
I looked out the window; Yoochun’s car isn’t at the garage. Where they could be?
Trying to call Yoochun hand phone but cannot reach him and I sighed heavily.
I must go to get things from the market and prepare lunch for the family. Our rule in the house is to spend lunch and dinner together with the family during weekend no matter how busy you are. Actually that is my rules, I hate being alone at home the whole week days so I just made the rule to make myself happy. Greedy Kim Jae Joong…..
So I walked to the market not far from home and that is my routine. I want to be a good housewife to my family & husband. That’s the main reason I don’t want to go for work, don’t want to get employed just because I want to do things on my own in the house. Give my family a good leaving & take a good care of Joong Hee so she can leave in a good healthy environment.
While picking up few things in the wet market, a man suddenly hit me with his basket.
“Ouch! Sorry sir, I haven’t seen you pass by” I said to a tall man in front of me.
He turns his face to me and …….
“Jae Joong?” the man said. I’m speechless when seeing the tall man’s face. I couldn’t believe my own eyes because the face that I always imagining in my mind appeared just few inches from me.
“Joongie,” I dropped my basket, the fruits & vegetables scattered on the market floor.
I blinked my eyes few times to make sure that what I saw is real & still the same handsome face in front of me. Suddenly my tears flow uncontrollable like river. It’s him, he is real, and he is in front of me. I don’t know what to do, I’m totally lost of words, and I couldn’t breath, I can’t feel my own body and just blank out, just like when I lost blood during give birth to Joong Hee.
“Jae Joong! Jae Joong! Jae Joong!” I can’t hear the voice calling me after that because I was unconscious.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
I found myself lying on the white bed sheet, trying harder to open my eyes. I see people around me talking. I can hear the familiar voice beside me.
“Doctor he is awake” that is Yunho, I still recognised that voice.
“Good! Mr Kim, you are already awake. Don’t worry there is nothing serious happen to you, you just too weak. Have you taken your breakfast, Mr Kim?” the doctor asked while checking my blood pressure.
I just shake my head. “Mr Jung, you should give him something to eat”
“Don’t worry doctor, I’ll take care of it” Yunho said to the doctor.
“Jae” Yunho tried to speak to me but I refused to look at him.
“Why Jae, Don’t you happy to see me back?” he asked.
I couldn’t speak, my lips like being glued to each other; I turned my head to the other side of the bed, avoiding looking at Yunho’s face.
He asked me again, “You hate me Jae? You hate me because I left you?” he questioning me again.
Suddenly the nurse came in “Nurse! Can you help me?” “Yes Mr Kim, you need anything?”
“Can you call for me Mr Park? This is the number” I took my hand phone on the side of the table, search for the number and give it to the nurse.
“Jae Joong? You are calling Yoochun?” I can see Yunho’s face changed. He blushed & looked away to the other side.
“Jae, I’m so sorry to trouble you. I’ll wait outside and wait for Yoochun to come”
I could see Yunho’s sad face, walking away from me & closing the door behind him. But I don’t know why I couldn’t be happy seeing him. I miss him, I really do but my body couldn’t react in that way. The way it should be.
What should I do now? Junsu is coming back & Yunho is already here. Why is this happening to me? How am I to suppose to feel? Happy? Sad?
Once again, my tears slowly run through my pale face. I cried, it hurts & it hurts even more now.
After six years he left me, after five years of his marriage, he came back. Why? Why now?
I already wanted to give up waiting, hoping, needing….I already have my own life with my precious daughter, with Yoochun & Changmin.
Like I said, love torturing me, do I still have the strength to love him?
Am I worth to get his love which I’ve already lost? Am I competent enough to be with him again?
They all hate me; I’m pathetic Kim Jae Joong from the orphanage home. My parents hate me, his family hate me, and he left me.
I don’t have the gut anymore to fight my feeling; I already lose for so long. Maybe I don’t need him; the man named JUNG YUNHO because he is not belongs to me anymore.
End POV
“Jae!” Yoochun rushing into the room to see what happened to Jae Joong.
“What happened? How do you get to the hospital?” Yoochun holding Jae Joong hands.
“Mr Park, Mr Kim fainted at the market so Mr Jung helped to bring him here” the doctor explained.
“Yes Yoochun, I brought him here. We met at the market, accidentally” Yunho shaky voice comes to the conversation from behind.
“You left me alone at home. I decided to go the market for few groceries. But I met….him” Jae said as he glanced at Yunho behind Yoochun.
Yoochun turned his back to face Yunho and smile, “Thank you my friend. Thank God you were there, if you weren’t there we wouldn’t know what will happened to Jae”
“I just did what I supposed to do, Yoochun” Yunho can’t even smile while talking to Yoochun.
He hold Yoochun hands and shake them, he look at Yoochun finger & had a glanced to beautiful fingers of Jae. They are both wearing rings, the wedding ring.
Yunho POV.
So what I thought is true. Yoochun get married to Jae…already. So Joong Hee is their child. This is my entire fault for leaving Jae with Yoochun but Yoochun keeps his promised to take care of Jae Joong. He definitely does……
I guess there is nothing more I can do. My plan to get together again with Jae vanished and I believe Jae doesn’t love me any more. He already has Yoochun & Joong Hee.
I have nobody now; the ridiculous plan which made by my greedy parents, separated me with my true love and made me married to selfish unreasonable girl, Erika Toda.
Yoochun interrupted, “Yunho? Why are you so…blank?” he asked me.
I hope I can answer that but my words choked inside my throat.
“Yunho, can we talk outside?” I just nodded & followed Yoochun as we walked to the cafeteria together. I know Yoochun wanted to tell me something but my mind still thinking of Jae’s reaction after seeing me. So what Yoochun has to say, it doesn’t matter anymore. He brings me a hot coffee as we sat at the corner of the cafeteria.
Yoochun clearing his throat and start talking to me with a little nervous shown on his face.
End POV.
“Yunho, I’m sorry for not telling you about Jae. But don’t get me wrong. He just used to it because I have been always beside him for quite sometimes now. He may shock seeing you out of sudden” Yoochun apologised.
“It’s okay Chun, I understand”
“Do you think he hates me for leaving him Chun?”
“Jae won’t do that, I know him & you know him well too Yun”
“I felt guilty after seeing him like that. How stupid I am for leaving him. But now he is fine with you, Chun. I’m happy for him and you too”
“He is so beautiful indeed, still the same Kim Jae Joong I married to. The angelic looks hurting me now and I have missed our sweet memories together when we were high school & before I left him for Japan. I am such a fool man” Yunho talking to him selves again.
“What is going on with you and Erika? She called me asking for you few days ago. I’m shocked when she said you were gone”
Yunho sighed, “Yeah, I left without informing anyone. Just to clear my mind and I really miss Korea so much after almost six years. I never had happy marriage. Erika just too busy with his modelling & acting and ignoring me as her husband”
“What? After these five years, you marriage still not okay?” Yoochun shot out loud.
“We just pretending that we are good married couple in front of our family but we actually slept in a different room in our apartment as what Erika wished after our wedding day. Yet I still couldn’t fall in love with her even though she is a beautiful woman but Jae Joong has always in my heart. It was really hurt when I kept thinking of Jae Joong everyday. I tried to contact you or Jae but I didn’t know where to start or what should I say. It was really obvious when Erika’s family kept asking why we don’t have the plan to have child. That was the hardest thing to me, I kept seeing Jae everywhere I go so I want to forget about it and make myself busy”
“How am I going to have a Jung’s heir” Yunho long stories made Yoochun felt guilty. He never knew all these years his good friend suffering and no one can understand him.
“She asked for divorce, Chun. I think she already found her happy own life now. I’m willing to let her go and make her happy. What is the purpose of this marriage when we both never have the understanding to each other? This fake marriage burden to me and her too. I guess she looked for me because of the divorce documentation purpose. That’s why I come back here to Seoul, to find my own happiness too, Chun”
“What about your parents? Do they know about it?”
“I don’t care anymore about them, Chun. Even though our business successful in Tokyo but it’s not important to me and that’s not my dreamt but theirs”
“I came back here to do my own business, I’m adult man, and I can do it my own”
“I hope this is good news for Jae, Yun. He will be very happy”
“Chun, May I asked you something?”
“What is it Yun?”
“Is he really happy now? Did he ever mention about me?”
“Off course he is happy Yun. You have always in him, he loves you Yun, and he loves you so much”
“Really? You think he still loves me after what I have done to him?”
“I’m not thinking but I’m telling you the truth, Yun. He is still your wife”
“WHAT?” Yunho is now getting confused with the explanation; he scratched his non itchy head.
“I’m your true best friend, Yun. I never cheated on you. I’m also a married man now. Just that my wife isn’t with me because he has to work at the university in other town”
Out of sudden, “There you are, Yoochun” Changmin interrupted.
“Changmin! Yunho do still remember Changmin?” Yoochun asked Yunho.
“Off course I do, Jae really loves him. I bet you all leaving together right? After all these years, you being such a hot handsome tall guy, man” Yunho complimented.
“Yunho-hyung! You are back. How’s thing?” hugging Yunho in his arm.
“Good Changmin. I have been back for few days now & my intention was to visit all of you at home but end up meeting you all in the hospital”
“Where is Joong Hee, Changmin?” Yoochun looked around to search for the little one.
“Oh! When I reached here I asked where Jae-hyung’s room is, so the nurse shows me to the room. After visiting Jae-hyung, he said you are somewhere outside. I bet you must be here & I left Joong Hee with her mommy”
“Joong Hee? So whose child is she?” Yunho mind suddenly recall when he first met the adorable little girl yesterday.
“Yunho? Is everything okay?” Yoochun tapped the man shoulder whose mind lost somewhere else.
“Oh! Nothing just thinking of something”
“Why all of us all stuck in here? Let’s get back to Jae & Joong Hee in the room” Yoochun suggesting.
“Never mind Chun, send my regards to Jae. I’ll be visiting him again when I have time.” Yunho try to avoid meeting Jae Joong after he saw the awkwardness reaction of his beloved Joongie.
“Am I being rejected by Jae?” Yunho asked himself.
“Yunho!” Holding Yunho hand, Yoochun try to fix the situation just like he can read Yunho’s mind.
“I know how you feel but please be here for him”
“No Chun. I think Jae is still not ready to see me. Give him sometimes. You know where to find me when he is ready” Yunho released his hand from Yoochun. Patted Yoochun shoulder and walked away with his truly sad feeling.
Yoochun stand still and watched Yunho passing by him then lost from his sight.
“Yoochun-hyung, what is going on? Why Yunho seems so sad and why he don’t want to see Jae”
“You’ll understand Changmin. Let’s go and get Joong Hee & Jae”
Yoochun and Changmin walked through the corridor and disappear from the hallway to the room.
“Papa! Why is mommy sick?” Joong Hee cried seeing her mother sleeping soundly on the bed.
“Mommy okay honey, don’t worry. Mommy just needs some rest”
“I want mommy! I want mommy!” she hugged her mother.
“Nurse, can my daughter stay here for a while? She needs to stay with her mother “
“She may stay here until visiting time is finished” the nurse assuring Yoochun.
Yoochun nodded and pick up Joong Hee onto the bed and let Joong Hee hugged her mother with tears in her eyes.
“Yoochun, why taking you so long to pick up Joong Hee?” Jae Joong questioned because he already waited quite long in the car.
“Mommy, papa met his old friend. They seem quite close together & even hugging” Joong Hee interrupting the conversation.
“What? Hugging who Chunnie?”
“You will meet that person one day, Joongie” Yoochun try to calm Jae Joong who seems so curious to know who he met.
Is that person who called Yoochun the other day? Jae talking to himself. Suddenly the situation become so quiet, none of them want to talk about it.
But Joong Hee, “Mommy, did you know who is papa best friend?”
“Why honey? Off course I do”
“So that means you know him” Joong Hee being so talkative made Yoochun feeling uncomfortable.
“Him? You met a him, Yoochun?” Jae started to shout at Yoochun.
Yoochun kept silent not to answer Jae Joong’s but Jae Joong really want to know who the person is.
“Ah! We almost home now” tried to avoid answering Jae Joong’s.
Jae Joong POV:
Why Yoochun acting like that? He doesn’t want me to know who he met?
I hate him for making me such a fool with that question. Who could that be?
I have needed to know……..sighed.
End POV
“Joong Hee, come help mommy to take your school beg. Chunnie, make sure you pick up all the groceries to the kitchen & I hate you for keeping me waiting for the answer” Jae Joong gave a glare to Yoochun as he entered the house.

“Yoochun still outside the house, Changmin still hasn’t back yet & Joong Hee in her room”
“Oh good! I just need to talk to you. I will be back soon but please don’t let anyone know about it because I want to surprise them. I’m coming back for good Jae”
“Really? For good?” “Yeah, I just tendered my resignation because I miss the place where I belong & the most important thing is I miss my hubby Jae”.
“Oh! Sure you do Junsu & I bet he misses you too” Jaejoong tried to be happy for him.
“Okay Jae, I will be back this weekend so just pretend you don’t know about it”
“Okay Junsu, bye” hang up the phone, Jae lean his back to the wall.
“Junsu is coming back? What I’m going to do then” Jae heavily sighed.

I tried to contact you or Jae but I didn’t know where to start or what should I say. It was really obvious when Erika’s family kept asking why we don’t have the plan to have child. That was the hardest thing to me, I kept seeing Jae everywhere I go so I want to forget about it and make myself busy”
“How am I going to have a Jung’s heir” Yunho long stories made Yoochun felt guilty. He never knew all these years his good friend suffering and no one can understand him.
“She asked for divorce, Chun. I think she already found her happy own life now. I’m willing to let her go and make her happy. What is the purpose of this marriage when we both never have the understanding to each other? This fake marriage burden to me and her too. I guess she looked for me because of the divorce documentation purpose. That’s why I come back here to Seoul, to find my own happiness too, Chun”
“What about your parents? Do they know about it?”
“I don’t care anymore about them, Chun. Even though our business successful in Tokyo but it’s not important to me and that’s not my dreamt but theirs”
“I came back here to do my own business, I’m adult man, and I can do it my own”
“I hope this is good news for Jae, Yun. He will be very happy”
“Chun, May I asked you something?”
“What is it Yun?”
“Is he really happy now? Did he ever mention about me?”
“Off course he is happy Yun. You have always in him, he loves you Yun, and he loves you so much”
“Really? You think he still loves me after what I have done to him?”
“I’m not thinking but I’m telling you the truth, Yun. He is still your wife”
“WHAT?” Yunho is now getting confused with the explanation; he scratched his non itchy head.
“I’m your true best friend, Yun. I never cheated on you. I’m also a married man now. Just that my wife isn’t with me because he has to work at the university in other town”
Out of sudden, “There you are, Yoochun” Changmin interrupted.
“Changmin! Yunho do still remember Changmin?” Yoochun asked Yunho.
“Off course I do, Jae really loves him. I bet you all leaving together right? After all these years, you being such a hot handsome tall guy, man” Yunho complimented.
“Yunho-hyung! You are back. How’s thing?” hugging Yunho in his arm.
“Good Changmin. I have been back for few days now & my intention was to visit all of you at home but end up meeting you all in the hospital”
“Where is Joong Hee, Changmin?” Yoochun looked around to search for the little one.
“Oh! When I reached here I asked where Jae-hyung’s room is, so the nurse shows me to the room. After visiting Jae-hyung, he said you are somewhere outside. I bet you must be here & I left Joong Hee with her mommy”
“Joong Hee? So whose child is she?” Yunho mind suddenly recall when he first met the adorable little girl yesterday.
“Yunho? Is everything okay?” Yoochun tapped the man shoulder whose mind lost somewhere else.
“Oh! Nothing just thinking of something”
“Why all of us all stuck in here? Let’s get back to Jae & Joong Hee in the room” Yoochun suggesting.
“Never mind Chun, send my regards to Jae. I’ll be visiting him again when I have time.” Yunho try to avoid meeting Jae Joong after he saw the awkwardness reaction of his beloved Joongie.
“Am I being rejected by Jae?” Yunho asked himself.
“Yunho!” Holding Yunho hand, Yoochun try to fix the situation just like he can read Yunho’s mind.
“I know how you feel but please be here for him”
“No Chun. I think Jae is still not ready to see me. Give him sometimes. You know where to find me when he is ready” Yunho released his hand from Yoochun. Patted Yoochun shoulder and walked away with his truly sad feeling.
Yoochun stand still and watched Yunho passing by him then lost from his sight.
“Yoochun-hyung, what is going on? Why Yunho seems so sad and why he don’t want to see Jae”
“You’ll understand Changmin. Let’s go and get Joong Hee & Jae”
Yoochun and Changmin walked through the corridor and disappear from the hallway to the room.
“Papa! Why is mommy sick?” Joong Hee cried seeing her mother sleeping soundly on the bed.
“Mommy okay honey, don’t worry. Mommy just needs some rest”
“I want mommy! I want mommy!” she hugged her mother.
“Nurse, can my daughter stay here for a while? She needs to stay with her mother “
“She may stay here until visiting time is finished” the nurse assuring Yoochun.
Yoochun nodded and pick up Joong Hee onto the bed and let Joong Hee hugged her mother with tears in her eyes.
