Chapter Two: Part Two
Jaejoong, who was hearing them got a bit confused and couldn't understand English very well. “Hey guys, what are you talking about? I don't speak English.” Yuchun continued. “Jaejoongie here really likes you, you know? He had been bragging about you ever since he met you this evening.” Yuchun just ignored Jaejoong and asked some more. She said. “ Really? He likes me? I know that's a little early to like someone whom you just met a few hours ago. Did he told you that? Ah, I'm so embarrassed now..” She started to blush in front of Jaejoong and Yuchun.
“ Chunnie, what did you tell Anne just now? You promised you won't tell embarrassing things about me.” Jaejoong scolded Yuchun. “ Jaejoong, it's nothing. He just told me that you're a good friend of him. And by the looks of it, you are really close right?” Anne tried to change the topic with Yuchun to Jaejoong. Meanwhile, Yuhno who was watching them then said to Jaejoong in Japanese. “Jaejoongie, fighting! Don't let her go, she's a very special woman.” Anne overheard them talking and blushed again. She just could not believe that now she has three guys who are in love with her. Although she felt a little pressure but she still could handle them. All three of them are really nice guys, caring towards her and her children. Moreover, each one of them has very unique character that made her fell in love with them all at the same time.
After they had dinner, all of them decided to leave and went on their separate ways. Siwon, Donghae, Heechul and Eunhyuk followed Yuhno, Yuchun, Changmin and Junsu for a drink at the bar next to the cafe. Kibum decided to call off for the day and beaded goodnight to the rest of the guys. “Goodnight, Anne. Goodnight, Kimi and Mira. Uncle Kibum wants to get some rest. I see you guys tomorrow okay?” Kibum quickly kissed Mira's cheek and hugged Kimi. Then, he smiled at Anne and left them with Lee Teuk and Jaejoong who were talking with one another. Both of them offered her a seat near the swimming pool. Lee Teuk sat on the right side of her with Kimi sitting on his lap. Meanwhile, Jaejoong sat on her left side and put Mira's wheelchair by his side.
“So, hmm.... I've seen you guys sang together in your MV 'Show Me Your Love'. It's a very nice song to listen to, I really enjoyed watching your MV. I would say that all of your fans have the same opinion as mine.” Anne said. “ Yeah, we really enjoyed ourselves while making the MV. Jaejoongie and I think it's a good collaboration to attract more fans to listen to our songs.” Lee Teuk answered smiling.
“ Yeah, we do. I'm so surprised that you are also one of our fans, Anne.” Jaejoong added. “ Really? I am too surprise to be talking with you guys and having a wonderful vacation here in Korea.” Anne explained while looking directly to them. Her eyes were shining brightly. That made the guys were lost at words. “ Guys, are you alright? It looks like you were somewhere else just now.” She asked curiously. Both of them looked at each other and said, “ No, nothing Anne. Really..”
Suddenly, there was a phone ringing, it was Lee Teuk's phone. He quickly got up to answer it and sat down again. “ Anne, Jaejoongie, I think I've got to go. There are things that I need to settle about Super Junior's schedules with our manager. Goodnight, Kimi and Mira. Uncle Lee Teuk has some work to do right now. I see you guys tomorrow alright?” He gave Kimi a hug and kissed Mira's cheek and left Anne with Jaejoong. Before he left, he mouthed ' I'll call you later' to Anne. Suddenly, Jaejoong got up from his chair and sang 'Begin' to her. His voice was so soothing in the cold ocean breeze. Kimi was clapping his hands happily while Mira was mumbling her baby talk.
“ That was so amazing Jaejoong. I really love that song.” Anne said admiringly. “ Thanks, this is the first time since I sang to a lovely woman like you Anne.” He knelt down in front of her and continued, “ From the first time I met you, I fell in love with you. You are one of a kind and I really want us to be together as a couple. Will you consider my proposal?” “ I don't know what to say Jaejoong but one thing's for sure that I do like you not because you're a singer but whom you are in real life. We've just met and we hardly know each other. I want us to get to know each other first as friends and when the time comes, I'll let you know the answer. I don't want us to rush things immediately and I hope you will understand me.” She explained. Jaejoong was really touched by her words that he respected her answers and he told her that he would wait for her.
Afterwards, both of them went upstairs to her room because Kimi and Mira had already fell asleep. “ Thanks for carrying Kimi for me, Jaejoong. He's getting bigger and bigger everyday. So is Mira. I can't wait to see her walking like other children of her age.” She and Jaejoong sat down together on the couch. He noticed that her eyes started to fill with tears. “ Anne, what is it? Did I do something wrong? Come on, you can tell me anything right?” He said softly and put his left arm around her shoulders. She quickly leaned her head on his chest and started crying again. “Don't cry Anne. I'm here right?” Jaejoong still consoling her.
“ Well, I just don't want to remember my past, Jaejoong...It's too painful for me. You and the guys are so nice to me, I don't know how can I repay you for such a warm hospitality.” Anne explained slowly but could not hold her tears. Jaejoong quickly wipe away her tears from her cheeks. “You don't have to worry about that. We really like being your friend Anne..You are like a family to us. Me and the guys will support in any way we can, so you don't need to cry about it, okay? Most importantly, I'm here for you.” Jaejoong said softly and kissed her lips. Although he could feel her tears on her lips, he didn't let her go and hugged her tightly. After a few minutes, Jaejoong quickly let go of her and was embarrassed by his unpredictable actions towards her. He just could not resist that sensational feeling coming from her sad face at that time. It's like she's calling for him. Words cannot express how they feel right now.
“Jaejoong, I'm sorry...” Before she could apologized, Jaejoong stopped her and said, “It was me who should apologize to you Anne. It's not your fault, it was me who wanted to kiss you so much. Please forgive me.” “ Jaejoong, it's my fault too because I also wanted you to kiss me so badly.” Anne explained and blushed. Both of them laughed thinking about it. That night, they shared a memorable experience together although it was only the first time they met. Furthermore, it was a sign of a good start for both of them, Anne and Jaejoong. But still Lee Teuk and Heechul too shared the same experience but in a different kind of situations. Before Jaejoong left, they too exchanged phone numbers so that they could contact each other easily either in Korea or Japan.
After they've said goodnight, Jaejoong left her room around 11:00 PM. Not long after that, her phone rang, it was Lee Teuk. “Are you asleep yet? Sorry about what happen earlier, Anne. I couldn't keep you company tonight.” “ It's okay, Lee Teuk. I really understand your situation. It's getting late now, so I'll see you tomorrow? Yeah, good night.” She ended her phone call and went to bed. In her mind right now is Jaejoong and their kiss. But still, she fell into a deep sleep....
Early the next morning, Anne woke up as usual and bathed her children. Then, there came a knock on her door. “Kimi baby, can you get the door for Mama please?” Anne's voice coming from the bathroom. The kids ,on the other hand ,were watching cartoon in the bedroom. It was Lee Teuk at the door and he quickly carried Kimi into the bedroom. “Mama, uncle Lee Teuk is here.” Kimi exclaimed.
When she got out from the shower, she was wearing her bath robe. Her hair was still wet and the water was still dripping down to her bath robe. That made Lee Teuk's heart beat fastly like a bullet train. Knowing that Lee Teuk was watching her closely, Anne felt a bit embarrassed and said, “ Lee Teuk, is there something wrong with me? You made me a bit embarrass right now.” “ Oh no, nothing's wrong. You look so sexy in that.” He explained and he could feel himself blushing in front of Anne. She quickly opened her robe and to his surprise, she was already wearing her clothes, a pair of green top and a knee-length skirts.
“ Do you like it? I thought you'd be surprise.” Anne smiled.“ I am surprise. I never met a woman as cute as you.” He smiled too and then, they left the room to have breakfast with the rest at the cafe. They were all waiting for her and Lee Teuk and the kids. Even DBSK members were all there. All they had a nice and peaceful breakfast that morning. This time, Lee Teuk was sitting next to her while Heechul and Jaejoong were sitting opposite her. Kibum then made a suggestion to go out and played on the beach. They agreed and set off immediately. Heechul helped Anne to push Mira's wheelchair while Lee Teuk was holding Kimi's hand happily. Jaejoong who was just right behind her tapped on her shoulder.
“Hey, Jaejoong. I thought you'd never talk to me. Why are you so quiet today? I'm curious now..” Anne asked him in Japanese so that the others except DBSK members understand them. “Hey there my princess. I'm not feeling well today. Maybe because I couldn't get any sleep last night.” He answered smiling at her. “What? Why didn't you get any sleep last night? Now, you made me worried Jaejoong.” She said while crossing her arms showing dissatisfaction. “ It's not like that. I can't sleep because I was thinking about you, Anne. Please don't be mad at me. You know how I feel about you, Anne.” He explained as they were walking towards a big tree where the rest were sitting down on the mat Yunho brought with them.
“ I'm not mad at you, it's just that you need to have a good rest if not it will affect your health. You're here because of work right? I don't want you to get sick because of me. Please promise me, you won't do this again, okay? Or I won't talk to you again..” Anne said and quickly turned away from him. Jaejoong quickly held onto her right arm and said, “Okay, I promise you anything but don't leave me Anne. Please....” “ Alright, I accept your word for now. If you ever do that again, I won't forgive you. Deal?” She held both of his hands and smiled. “ It's a deal.” He said. Lee Teuk who was busy with Kimi doesn't notice what was going on with Anne and Jaejoong.
But there was someone who watched them from afar and he was Yuchun. He quickly approached them and interrupted them. “ I see you two are getting along so well, Jaejoongie.” He said in Japanese. Both of them blushed from embarrassment. “ How do you know? We're just started to get to know each other, Chunnie..” Jaejoong trying to explain the real situation but Yuchun was still teasing him. Anne just left the two of them with their baby fights and headed to Kimi and Mira who were with the rest of the guys. Kimi was still playing a guessing game with Yunho, Lee Teuk, Changmin and Heechul. While Siwon, Donghae, Eunhyuk were in the water swimming. Kibum who was playing with Mira, called Anne to come and joined them.
“ Hey Kibum, what are you playing? Did my Mira behaved with Uncle Kibum?” Anne sat down next to Mira and gave her a big kiss on her rosy cheek. “ Uncle Kibum also wants a kiss from Mira's Mama, is it okay Mira?” Kibum joked using English. “ If uncle Kibum wants a kiss, he has to play a guessing game. Is it alright with you?” Anne asked and laughed. Yuchun who walking towards them along with Jaejoong overheard them and volunteered to play as well. “ Mira, uncle Yuchun and uncle Jaejoong wants to play too, can we?” “ Alright, all of you can play but this game will end if there's a foul player. And the person who guess it right gets a kiss from...the person who ask the question.” Anne explained the rules in Korean so that Jaejoong could understand.
They started with Anne who gave the first question. “ What do you do when a girl you like is having her birthday this very moment?” “ I know the answer! I would take her out on a candlelight dinner and surprise her with a love song.” Jaejoong answered her question and she gave him a kiss on his cheek. Everyone were very excited with the game and now it was Jaejoong's turn to asked, “ Why is it Mira likes to read books?” “ Me! I know the answer. It's because when I was pregnant, I was teaching
at a school.” Anne exclaimed excitedly. Then, Jaejoong gave her a kiss on her cheek. Both of them blushed immediately.
Next, it was Kibum's turn to ask, “ What is the meaning of Lee Teuk's name if it's translated in English?” “ I know! Is it because he wanted to become a very special person that everyone will remember which has the same impact as Kangta?” Anne answered again correctly and received a kiss from Kibum. She just blushed but her feelings for him was just as friends. Now, it was Yuchun's turn and he said, “ What does Dong Bang Shin Ki means in English?” “ I know that one! It's Rising Gods of the East.” Anne quickly answered the question correctly. “ Jaejoongie, it's just a kiss okay? It doesn't mean anything.” Yuchun appologized in Japanese before he gave her a kiss on her cheek. Anne just laughed watching Jaejoong's reaction towards his best buddy.
After that, it was Anne's turn again to ask the following question, “ I have two simple questions and whoever gets them correctly get two kisses from me. Here it goes. When is Mira's birthday?” “ Me!
Her birthday is on 2nd of December 2006.” Kibum exclaimed while raising up his hand. Anne smiled and gave him a kiss. It made Kibum blushed but he controlled it. Then, she continued, “ When is Kimi's birthday?” “ Well, his birthday would be 6th of July 2008.” Yuchun said and received a kiss from Anne. He blushed immediately but he appologized again to Jaejoong in Japanese. Finally, Anne called it a quits and just laughed with them joking about how Kibum and Yuchun blushed when Anne kissed them. “ Jaejoong, you're not mad are you? It's just a silly game.” Anne asked when both Yuchun and Kibum got up to join the others in the water. “ No, I understand Anne. I'm okay with it. It's not like we're a couple or anything.” He said slowly looking straight into her eyes. She knew he wasn't satisfy and felt depressed. “ How could you say that to me? I thought we made it clear last night but it turned out that you're just playing games with my heart. You don't understand me, Jaejoong. And I hate you for that..” Anne scolded him, and she quickly got up, took Mira with her and left him sitting there by himself. He couldn't think of a word to say to her. She excused herself and left the guys on the beach and went back to her room with Mira. Meanwhile, Kimi was still playing with Lee Teuk and the guys.
It took him a minute to realize that Anne had left him alone. He immediately got up and ran after her. He knew that she was pretty upset because he acted childishly in front of her. When he reached her hotel room, he knock on the door but there were no answer. “Anne, please open this door. I know I'd overreacted just now. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me Anne.” He apologized and still knocking the door. Anne, on the other hand, could hear his voice coming from outside and finally she opened the door. “ What you said just now really hurt me, Jaejoong. I thought you'd understand me but I guess I was wrong about you. I'm sorry if I've hurt you just now. I didn't mean for any of this to happen between us.” She said with a trembling voice and sat down on the couch near the door. Jaejoong entered her room and sat down next to her. He hugged her tightly to his chest and said, “ You don't have to be sorry, Anne. I was the one who should be sorry for hurting you. I love you so much, Anne. I really do.” As he spoke, she suddenly burst into tears. She couldn't stop crying. Then, he sang ' Holding Back The Tears' to her while embracing her in his arms. He could feel the warmth of her body touching him. He'd never felt like this before and she stopped crying to look at him. “ Thanks, Jaejoong. For everything.” She finally smiled and hugged him. Jaejoong too hugged her back.
Meanwhile, at the beach where the rest of the guys were hanging out and playing in the sun, Yuchun and Kibum who noticed Jaejoong ran after Anne said to each other, “It looks like there's something going on between them just now.” Yuchun told Kibum. “ You think so? I guess Lee Teuk hyung and Heechul hyung won't stand a chance.” Kibum answered. “ You mean Lee Teuk hyung and Heechul hyung are going after Anne all this time? Wow, that's quite fascinating! Ah, I got an idea! Want to bet who will win Anne's heart? I mean, we can't tell the guys and also Anne about this. It's just between you and me. How about it?” Yuchun lowered down his voice so that no one could hear them. “Of course I want to bet on that! If one of the Super Junior hyungs win, then you will have to treat me bigtime. If Jaejoong hyung wins, then it's vice versa.” Kibum agreed and they did a secret handshake that only both of them knew about it. It was Thursday morning and the sun was shining brightly. Anne woke up at the crack of dawn to get her kids ready for their last breakfast at the hotel. They had to leave for Seoul because of Super Junior's holidays has ended and they have to get back to work that very evening. After breakfast with Super Juniors and Dong Bang Shin Ki, Anne and her kids had to say goodbyes to Yunho, Changmin, Junsu, Yuchun and Jaejoong. “ Thanks guys for a wonderful holidays. I won't forget it for the rest of my life. It's nice knowing you and I hope we could see each other again.” “ Oh, no worries Anne. You are like a family to us. It's nice knowing you too and your adorable kids. I'll think we'll probably meet each other again, if not in Seoul, maybe in Tokyo right?” Yuchun answered while looking at Jaejoong who was feeling a little down.
“Hey there, Jaejoong. Don't be like this, we'll see each other again right? We made a promise last night, remember?” Anne said to him in Japanese. “ I'm sorry Anne. It's just so hard for me to say goodbye to you. I'm missing you already.” Jaejoong answered and only his group mates understand him. “ Don't worry, we can still contact each other. I know you and the guys are so busy right now and I don't want to be in your way, I mean your work. I hope you'll understand my decision.” She continued talking to him. “ Thanks for understanding my situations Anne. That's what I like about you. If I'm free, I'll drop by at your place before you go back to Tokyo.” He smiled and hugged her tightly. Anne also hugged him back. Everyone said their goodbyes to each other and packed their luggage into Lee Teuk's car. The journey back to Seoul seemed to take only a few minutes because time flew so fast inside the car. Although they were in the ferry, they still knew how to enjoy themselves. All the guys were joking around with one another and entertaining the kids. As for Anne, she too enjoyed laughing at their jokes. Lee Teuk on the other hand, was focusing on his driving so he didn't notice a change in Anne's face expression except for Kibum. He knew what was going on but he won't reveal it to her. “Hey, Anne. Why the sad face? Do you have any problem?You can talk to me right?” Kibum asked with concern. “Me? Sad face? It's nothing really..It's just that I've been thinking last night how lucky I am to meet you guys and Dong Bang Shin Ki for just a short period of time. In four days, I'll be leaving for Tokyo and I'm going to miss leaving you guys and Seoul.” She explained and sighed.
“Yeah, we feel the same way too Anne. But don't worry, we can still contact each other right?” Kibum reassured her. Finally, she smiled and said, “ I guess you're right, Kibum. I feel a lot better now, thanks.” Moments later, they've reached their apartment. The guys helped Anne by carrying Mira and Kimi upstairs while Lee Teuk was helping her with her luggage. “ Anne, you looked really tired. You should get some rest straight away,okay?” He hold on the elevator door for her and they both went upstairs. “ I guess you're right, Lee Teuk. I will get some rest after I put my kids to bed. Don't worry okay?” Anne smiled while holding his right arm. When they reached Anne's apartment, her children were already inside with Heechul and the guys. She gave the keys to Heechul so they won't have to wait for her and Lee Teuk. Heechul was waiting for them at the door smiling happily. “What took you guys so long? Hyung, you know that we have to leave for KMNET around 2 p.m.” Heechul informed him. “Heechul-sshi, it's not Lee Teuk's fault. He's late because of helping me carry these luggage. You're not angry, are you?” She defended Lee Teuk. “What? Me? Angry? Of course not, Anne. I'm just reminding hyung about our schedules, that's all. Isn't that right, hyung?” He reassured her and letting her sat down at the couch. Her children and the rest of the guys were busy watching anime.
After a while, Lee Teuk and the guys had to leave because of work. They said goodbyes and went back to their apartment to get change. Lee Teuk mouthed 'I'll call you later' to her before they left. Anne quickly bathed the kids and put them to sleep. She too took a nice long nap with her children before getting up to prepare their dinner. Suddenly, her hand phone rang and woke her up. It was Jaejoong on the line. “ Hello my princess, did you have a good rest?” He said softly. “ Hi Jaejoong. Yeah, I did. I was so tired from the long journey. How about you? Have you finished your work in Jeju Island?” She answered while going into the living room so that she won't wake her children. She sat down on the couch and turned on the television. “ Well, actually I'm in the middle of one. I'm just taking a break. I thought I should give you a call and check on you. I'm missing you already, you know.” He added and blushed. “ Really, that is so sweet, Jaejoong. I miss you too. Don't worry about us, the Super Juniors are here in the same building. If anything happen, I'll definitely tell them, okay?” Anne reassured him. She ended her conversation with Jaejoong and went to make dinner. That night they had seafood fried rice with kimchi for dinner. Moreover, Anne was learning to make Korean food so that she would be able to cook good Korean meals for her kids as well as her new friends, Super Juniors. It was a good feeling to have someone to cook for.
The time was half past 9 and her children were already asleep due to exhaustion playing after dinner. When she was about to go to bed, her phone rang. This time it was Jaejoong again calling her. He was already returned to Seoul and drove straight to her apartment. “Hi, my princess. Sorry to wake you up. Are you free now?” He asked as he went inside the elevator that took him to the third floor where Anne was staying now. “ Hi, Jaejoong. This is a surprise. Yeah, I'm free now. Why? You want to come and see me right now?” She guessed and laughed at her joke. “ Can you open your front door right now? I have a surprise for you.” He said and turned off his phone. Anne quickly got up from the bed and went straight to the door. She peeped from the door's hole but couldn't see anything. But as soon as she opened it, there stood Jaejoong who was wearing a white t-shirt and a cardigan pants. She was so surprise to see him at her door, she couldn't say a word. He too, was surprise to see her in her black night gown. “ Wow, you look so beautiful in that gown, Anne. Are you surprise to see me?” Jaejoong said and kissed her cheeks. She suddenly blushed and said, “ Thanks and yeah, I was so surprised, Jaejoong. Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I would change into something more appropriate to wear, this is embarrassing.” “ Anne, don't be embarrass. I like you wearing that outfit. It's so...SEXY...” He told her as they sat down on the couch. Anne blushing again and said, “ I feel embarrass now, Jaejoong. You're the first guy to see me in my nighties.” “ Anne, listen to me. I like you just the way you are, okay? And I'm not the type who would take advantage on woman, especially a beautiful lady like yourself.” He reassured her and that made her felt relieved.
Anne got up and went into the kitchen to make tea for him. He immediately followed her and sat down on the stool near the kitchen counter. He watched her very closely as she made the tea. Starting from the way she poured the hot water into the pot until she finished pouring the readily tea into his cup. Anne noticed he was watching and asked him, “ What is it, Jaejoong? Is something the matter?” “ Nope, nothing's wrong. It's just that I'm amazed to see you could adapt the Korean culture in a nick of time. I'm really impressed.” He smiled while holding her hands. “ Thanks, Jaejoong, I really appreciate that.” She said warmly. Suddenly, her hand phone rang again and it was Lee Teuk. She excused herself and picked up the phone in the living room. “ Hi, Anne. Sorry, I'm late. Me and the guys were so busy today with work. We can't even take a break not more than 15 minutes.” Lee Teuk explained to her. “ It's okay, I understand. But don't push yourself so hard, okay? I don't want you to get hurt doing your practices.” She advised him. “ Alright, I know. So, I'll see you tomorrow then. Good night, Anne. Sweet dreams.” He ended the conversation due to his hectic rehearsals for their upcoming tour. “ Who is it?” Jaejoong asked curiously. “ Oh, it's Lee Teuk. He just want to check up on me and the kids. He's pretty busy too right now.” She answered and smiled.
Then, they continued talking while drinking tea. “ Wow, look at the time now. It's near 1 a.m now, I'd better get going then.” Jaejoong said looking at his watch. “ Is it okay for you to drive home? Your apartment are quite far from here right? You can spend the night here, if you like. I would be happy if you could stay here and accompany me.” Anne offered. It was already late and she didn't want anything to happen to Jaejoong so she decided to offer him to sleep over her apartment. “ If you insist, I'll do anything you want me to, Anne. That's my promise to you.” He smiled and kissed her hands. ' He is so romantic' she thought to herself. Then, she got up and tidied the guest room next to her room near the toilet. Jaejoong followed her and helped her fixing up the bedspread onto the bed and also getting the comforter from the cupboard. When they have finished, she wished him goodnight and kissed his cheeks. He too kissed her back. Both of them blushed together. “Well, I see you tomorrow okay? Sweet dreams, my princess.” Jaejoong smiled and yawning at the same time. That made Anne laughed and replied, “You look so cute when you're sleepy. I'll see you tomorrow then. Dream about me okay?” “ I will my princess, good night.” He closed the door behind him, took of his clothes and went straight to bed.
Next morning, Anne got up as usual, prepared breakfast and bathed her children. As she was busy with them, Jaejoong woke up from bed and he was wearing his pants without his shirt. “ Morning beautiful. Need any help?” “ Yeah, if you don't mind can you bathed Kimi for me? Your towel is in the bathroom. And Kimis' too.” Anne quickly went in her bedroom and dressed up Mira who was just taken her bath. “ Hurry, Uncle Jae. I want to pee.” Kimi exclaimed and Jaejoong took him into the bathroom. He too, took a shower with Kimi. When they got out from the bathroom, Anne was waiting for them outside. He was wearing only his towel and that made Anne's heart beat faster.
“ That was fast you two. Come on Kimi, let Mama dress you up. Uncle Jaejoong need to get ready for work.” She said smiling, winked at Jaejoong and quickly looked away. Moreover, she didn't want him to see her nervousness. “ Yeah, I see you in just a moment okay, Kimi?” Jaejoong understood her meaning. She didn't want Kimi to play around before breakfast. Although she tried to stay calm as possible, Jaejoong noticed her eyes when she looked away after talking to him. As Jaejoong entered his room, he was surprised to see his clothes was ready on the bed. 'She's really one of a kind', he said to himself smiling happily.
When he was about to take off his towel, Anne suddenly came into the room. She wanted to see if he was ready or not. “ Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were already dressed up.” She apologized and turned around facing the door. As she was leaving the room, Jaejoong immediately grabbed her right arm and embraced her. “Don't go, Anne. I want to give you something before you leave for Japan, in case I don't get to see you at the airport.” Jaejoong whispered and she could feel him breathing calmly. She watched as he took something from his jacket's pocket. It was sparkling brightly in the sunlight. She knew it was a necklace and it was carved with an initial J and A on the heart-shaped locket. “It's beautiful, Jaejoong. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for everything. It's the most memorable vacation I've ever had in my life.” Anne kissed him lightly on his lips after he put on the necklace. A while later, Jaejoong left for work. Before he left, they had breakfast and he said goodbyes to the kids and gave them presents, a set of army toy soldier and a Barbie doll. He too had the most memorable time with Anne and her children although it was just for one night. He smiled happily all the way to work.
