Shock
Next morning was the usual routine for Anne, Jaejoong and the kids. After getting up and preparing the breakfast, Anne woke up Jaejoong with a kiss on his cheek. He smiled and grabbed her. She nearly fell onto him but he managed to break her fall. “ That was a close one. Are you alright?” Jaejoong asked while sitting next to her. “ I'm fine, thank you Jae. You better get up and take a shower before the kids wake up. I'm going to finish up cleaning the laundry.” She stood up and went into the kitchen. He followed her like a little puppy. “ What is it now Jae?” She asked. “ Nothing Anne. I just want to take a good look at you one last time before I head back to Seoul. I promise to you I'll come back to visit you because we'll be having our tour in Tokyo next two weeks.” Jaejoong said while hugging her from behind. “ I hope you keep your promise. If not, you are going to lose me too. That I promise you. You know right that I hate people who lie and break promises. I don't want you to do that.” She said firmly. “ I know Anne. That I always remember. Now what did you cook for me this morning?” He said.
After breakfast with the kids, Jaejoong accompanied her to send the kids to school. Then, both of them went to the hotel to meet the guys. All of them were set and ready to go to the airport. Anne sent them to the airport and left for class. Before they boarded the plane, Anne hugged all the guys and said goodbyes. When she hugged Jaejoong, she cried. “ Don't cry Anne. I'll come back. I promised to you just now.” Jaejoong wiped her tears off her cheeks. “ I know but I just can't hold the tears. It feels like you are going to leave me for good. I'm sorry.” Anne looked at him with her watery eyes. “ Don't say like that. I won't do that to you Anne. Now, just promise me you'll be here for me, okay?” He said and smiled. Anne nodded her head and smiled. That was the last time Anne saw him. After two weeks, there was no news from him and such. That made Anne so frustrated, sad and lose faith in him. All she could do was read the online news about him and his group Tohoshinki that they did visit Tokyo and a few places in Japan before they flew to Southeast Asia for their Asia Tour.
It's been a month now and there was no news whatsoever from Jaejoong. Anne did call him like 10000 million times but there was no answer either his Korean number or Japanese number. She had decided it was time to let him go forever. She knew it was the hardest thing to do but she had to do it. Although in time she may find someone more special but still letting go of Jaejoong was like suicide. She sent one last text message to him and said, ' I'm sorry Jae but you and I can't be together as you broke all your promises. I hope you'll find someone better than me as I'm not perfect for you.
That made her cry like hell for a month. But she cried silently because she had to continue her life as usual. She didn't want her children to see like that. A month went by like the cool winter breeze and she could finally accept the fact that it was not her destiny to be with Jaejoong. She always keep updated with Tohoshinki's activities in Japan although she felt every minute looking at them especially Jaejoong was like a razor sharp blade eating through her heart and soul. One fine day, she was chatting as usual on her Facebook with her families and friends when a message caught her eyes. It was Jaejoong private message using his mobile phone.
' Dear Anne, please forgive me for not keeping my promise. I'm to blame myself for being so ignorant and losing your trust in me. I wish I could see you as I'm in Tokyo doing my last concert here before going back to Seoul. I'm so sorry Anne.'
That made her heart sank even deeper. Her wound became fresh again and her tears couldn't stop falling like the river flowing in a calm water. She had been waiting for him to reply her message but her heart said that they couldn't be together again and that was the end of their relationship. She cried silently for the whole night.
The next morning she woke up as usual, doing her routines, taking care of her children and going to her daily class. Hyun Joon noticed that Anne was sad so he decided to cheer her up. “Hey, Anne. How about we go out tomorrow afternoon? I'm meeting my cousin and I'm sure you'll be happy to see them. How about it? Bring your kids along.” “ Really? Okay, I guess I could use a new environment. You'll come and pick us up right?” Anne joked and smiled. “ Okay, Anne. Anything for my best friend.” Hyun Joon patted her shoulder.
That night, she was online again and this time she was chatting with a guy called Yong Junhyung. He was so nice and funny. He said he was a member of a group called Beast and told her to go and watched their showcase tomorrow. ' Really? I guess I can bring my kids along to the concert tomorrow with my best friend.' Anne typed as she smiled. ' Sure, I would love to meet your kids tomorrow. Be sure to wear something white so that I can see you.' Junhung replied. He was already in Tokyo with the other Beast members getting ready to get some sleep. Junhyung smiled by himself and Yoseob who noticed that suddenly in front of him smiling. “ Junhyung, what are you doing? Smiling by yourself. Come on, share it with me. We're best buddies right?” Yoseob asked trying to get a peek of Junhyung's mobile phone. “ Nothing really. Just a friend I met online. She's so Japanese but she's actually a Malaysian. Imagine that. I told her to come watch us perform tomorrow.” Junhyung said. “Really? And she agreed? Wow, that's so cool Junhyung. I can meet her too right?” Yoseob smiled. “Sure, why not? If she's a good friend, she can be your friend too. It's the first time we'll be seeing each other so I really need your opinion on this, okay?” Junhyung said while messaging on his phone.
' I got to go Junhyung. Need to get some sleep or I won't be able to wake up tomorrow. Thanks for the invitation. Good night.' Anne replied with a smile. She too was using her phone. ' Okay, Anne. Here is my number in case you couldn't find me.+813499271777. Good night, Anne. Sweet dreams.' Junhyung gave his number to her. 'Okay, here's mine. +813499298383. See you tomorrow then. Bye Junhyung.' Anne replied back. Junhyung smiled and saved her number. Anne smiled and went offline.
“ What did she said?” Yoseob was curious of Junhyung messages and trying to get hold of the phone. “ We exchanged phone numbers okay? Here, you can read this.” Junhyung showed the last message to Yoseob. “ Wow, congratulations to you Junhyung. You finally meet someone nice. I'm so happy for you.” Yoseob smiled and got up to tell the others. “ Hey, guys. Junhyung's got a new girlfriend. Hahaha.” There was s big commotion that night but Junhyung just smiled and went to bed.
It was a fine Saturday morning and the sun was shining brightly that day. Anne woke up with a smile on her face. She was practically smiling for the first time in a month. Hyun Joon was going to pick her up with the kids around 10a.m. Without hesitation, she quickly settled her chores and her children. Kimi was jumping up and down knowing that they were going out to play. “Mama, are we going somewhere fun? And have lots of toys to play with?” “ Yeah, sure Kimi. And Mama is going to meet some new friends. Are you happy Kimi?” Anne asked him smiling. “ I'm happy Mama. I want to meet new friends too. May I Mama?” He asked. “ Sure dear.” She replied as she opened the door for Hyun Joon. “Hi there, Kimi. Long time no see you.” Hyun Joon smiled and Kimi's hand. Then, they were off to Shibuya where all the Beast members were going to perform their showcase for their new album 'The lights go on again'.
“Where is your cousin, Junhyung? He said he'll be here right?” Hyunseung asked.
“He'll be here. I know he will.” Junhyung said looking at the passerby. Suddenly, he got up and walked up to a guy who looked just like him. It was his cousin alright. “ Hey, Hyun Joon. Where were you? We've been waiting for ages.” Junhyung started scolding him when his eyes caught a glance of Anne behind Hyun Joon with Kimi and Mira. She smiled and said. “ I'm so sorry. I was the one who made him late. Hi, I'm Anne. This is my children, Mira and Kimi.” “ No, it's okay. I didn't know he was bringing his girlfriend along.” Junhyung said. “ Anne's not my girlfriend, you idiot. She's my classmate. Remember I did told you about her.” Hyun Joon explained. “ Owh, now I remember. I'm so sorry. I'm Junhyung. Nice to meet you guys.” Junhyung shook her hand. “ Nice to meet you too, Junhyung. You're from a group called Beast right?” Anne smiled. “ Yeah, how did you know? Hyun Joon here told you about it right?” Junhyung asked. “ No, I can guess because we talked on Twitter last night, remember?” She explained. “ Oh, that's why your name sounded familiar somewhere. You're the mystery girl I've been waiting for. What a small world! ” He smiled.
Both of them were talking happily when the other Beast members came approaching them. “Junhyung, what took you so long? You told us you were meeting your cousin?” Yoseob asked and smiled at them. “ I'm sorry. Yoseobie, this is my cousin, Hyun Joon. And his classmate, Anne.” Junhyung introduced them to his members. “ I'm Kimi and this is my sister, Mira. Nice to meet you.” Kimi said politely in Korean so that they could understand. “ Nice to meet you too, Kimi. You're here with your mother right?” Yoseob asked. “ Yeah, she's talking to Uncle Junhyung.” Kimi pointed at Anne. Anne smile and said. “ I'm sorry guys. These two lovely children are mine. Kimi here speaks four languages including Korean.” “ Really? Wow!” All of them said at once. Then, they stopped by at a cafe where they ordered their drinks. They talked happily about their showcase and Anne's.
“ So, you are Malaysian living here in Japan? That's amazing! I wish I could be like you. It must have been hard for you with your children and all. Junhyung, I think she's the most talented woman I've ever met.” Hyunseung said smiling at Anne. “ Yeah, I agree with Hyunseung. Anne. Our Junhyung here couldn't stop talking about you last night. He said he was going to meet his dream girl today.” Doojoon said. That made Junhyung blushed in pink. That made Anne blushed too. “ Really? That is so sweet of you, Junhyung. Thanks for that compliment guys.” Anne smiled. Meanwhile, Kimi and Mira was playing with Hyun Joon,Yoseob, Dongwoon and Gikwang. A while later, Doojoon and Hyunseung joined them. “ Thanks for coming to meet me today. I didn't know you knew my cousin. He told me that you stayed at his apartment last month.” Junhyung said. “ No, thank you for meeting me too. I too didn't know that Hyun Joon was your cousin. And yes I did stayed there for my semester break. I needed a break from my studies. Hyun Joon is a really good friend.” Anne said.
Time flies and it was time for Beast to go on stage and perform. Anne and Junhyung talked about lots of things although time was limited. They performed Shock, Beautiful, and a couple of more songs before their showcase ended. Anne and her children enjoyed the show very much. She did a research about them last night and found out that their songs were fun and the part Junhyung rap was amazing. He was so good. She thought she couldn't forget Jaejoong but she did for the first time. She smiled and enjoyed the rest of the show. Afterwards, all of them went back to their hotel along with Anne and her children and also Hyun Joon. There, they had dinner together and talked. It was time for Anne and her children to go home. Junhyung followed his cousin sending Anne and her children home. Kimi was so happy to meet Beast especially Junhyung. Although he's not very keen to children but he could naturally get along with Kimi and Mira. “ Uncle Junhyung, come stay with us tonight? Please Mama. Let Uncle Junhyung stay with us. I promise I'll be a good boy. I want him to stay with us.” Kimi asked Anne. “ If Uncle Junhyung doesn't mind then, he could stay for the night. Would you,Junhyung?” Anne winked at Junhyung. “ Of course I'll stay for the night.” Junhyung agreed and smiled at Anne.
When they arrived at Anne's place, Junhyung carried Kimi while Anne pushed Mira inside. Hyun Joon smiled and said. “ I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon okay? I have class in the morning. Nite you guys.” “ Nite, Hyun Joon. And thanks again.” Anne said. “Okay, Anne. No problem. Bro, don't be naughty. Peace.” Hyun said smiling at both of them. He was so happy for his friend. He didn't want Anne to feel lonely because of Jaejoong. He knew that it's hard falling in love with an artist especially singers. He did fell in love once but it was just short term relationship. That was the reason why he left Seoul in the first place, to find a new beginning for him. He understood exactly what Anne was going through at that time. Only time will heal her wounds.
Meanwhile, Anne had tuck in her children. Junhyung was waiting in the living room. He looked at her decoration in her house. 'She's a muslim. But still she looked so Japanese and Korean at the same time. I wonder if she has a boyfriend yet...' Just then, Anne sat next to him. He was startled a little bit.
“What were you thinking about Junhyung? You seemed so preoccupied just now. You didn't even notice I came.” Anne asked staring at him looking a bit puzzled. “ Nothing really. I was just admiring your house. It feels so cozy. I like the feeling.” Junhyung quickly changed the subject so that Anne would not notice that he was talking to himself. “ Really? Thanks for the compliment, Junhyung. I really love this house. Although it's not that large but still comfy and cozy. When I first saw the house, I immediately rent it. I have this strong feelings that I will find peace and lots of friends while I'm here. And I did.” Anne smiled.
“ Anne, can I ask you a question? I mean this is personal. It's okay if you don't want to answer it. Do you have a boyfriend? I mean someone special in your life now. I was just wondering. Because you seem like you have someone.” Junhyung asked while looking at her facial expression whether she would get mad at him but she answered. “ I used to date somebody but that somebody turned out to be a lie. Now, I'm not seeing anybody. Why you ask? You must think I have a boyfriend right?” Anne said. “No, it's not like that. It's just that you need someone to share your sadness and happiness with you right?” Junhyung said. “ It's okay, Junhyung. I'm fine now, really. I just need some time to forget the past and move on. I..” Before Anne could finish her sentence, Junhyung kissed her lips lightly and back away because he was embarrassed. “ I'm so sorry, Anne. I couldn't help myself. I know I'm maybe too young for you but I know you need someone right now who can take care of you and your kids. I'm not asking for you to accept me now but I'm just expressing myself to you. I would like to be with you, Anne.” Junhyung said.
Anne was somewhat shock and happy at the same time. She smiled and said. “Junhyung, don't be sorry. I needed that actually. To wake me up knowing that I'm not alone anymore. Thanks, Junhyung. I think we should get to know each other first because I don't want to hurt your feelings as well as mine. For now, let's get some sleep first and talk again tomorrow morning, okay?” She smiled and kissed him on his cheek. That made him blushed. “ Come on, I won't bite you. I already made your bed inside. Is it okay if you sleep next to me?” Anne asked. “ Yeah, sure. Is it okay if I sleep inside? I mean I can sleep outside on the couch.” He asked. “ It's cold outside. I don't want you to catch a cold because of me. Here's your towel. You sleep with your clothes on, right? I have extra shirt and loose pants if you want them.” She gave him the towel. “ Sure. Thanks, Anne.” Junhyung went into the bathroom and took a shower before going to bed. Anne also had her shower afterwards. She wore a pink nightie. That made Junhyung heart beat faster than usual. ' Why I am like this? I used to meet lots of girls but she's so different from them. My heart says that she's the one.' They were laying on their beds and looking at the ceiling. “ Are you asleep, Junhyung?” She asked. “ No, not yet. I'm still awake. You should get some sleep now. I don't want you to be tired tomorrow.” He said and faced her. 'She's so beautiful. If I could just hug her..' “Okay, good night, Junhyung. Sweet dreams.” She said and leaned over and kissed his cheek again. Both of them fall into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Anne woke up early to make breakfast for Junhyung and her kids. After her shower, she was still wearing a towel when Junhyung opened his eyes. 'She look so sexy in that towel.' He said to himself. Suddenly his phone rang and startled Anne. She turned around and saw Junhyung was already awake. “Yeah, I'll be back after lunch. Bye.” He said. They looked at each other and laughed. “You weren't spying on me were you?” Anne asked. “No, I wasn't. Cross my heart.”He smiled and looked away. “But you look sexy after shower, I mean, beautiful. Really beautiful.” “ Well, I accept that as a compliment.” She smiled and went into the bathroom to get dress. Junhyung got up and saw his clothes was already there, ironed and hung near the cupboard. His towel was ready for him too. 'Wow, she sure can handle a man. I'm so impress.' He told himself. After he showered, he quickly changed into his clothes back and went into the kitchen. There, Anne was waiting for him. “How's your shower? Did you enjoy it? I made you a nice Korean breakfast. I hope it suits your taste.” She said. “I like it a lot, thanks for asking. Really? You cooked it for me? You don't have to do that, you know.” Junhyung smiled.
They ate breakfast happily. The kids were still asleep because it was Sunday. “Anne, can I ask you something? If it's okay with you.” He cleared his throat. “Sure, Junhyung.What is it?” Anne said waiting for him. “When is your next semester break?What I mean is do you have any plans for your next holiday?” Junhyung asked her while watching her response. “Uhmm.. Well, I don't have any plans yet, I guess. Why? Do you have something in mind that you want to tell me?” She said. “ Yeah, but not right now. It's not going to be a surprise if you know already right?” He said smiling and added. “ Reserve your holidays for me okay? I have a surprise for you.” 'What is he up to exactly? I guess I have to wait and see.' She said to herself while smiling at him. The kids got up and Anne bathed them and fed them until they were full. Afterwards, they went outside to get some fresh air at the park. Junhyung wore a cap and a shade to cover up his face so that the fans will not recognize him walking on the streets. He hold Kimi's hand while Anne pushed Mira on her wheelchair.
“ I guess it's a must to wear those right? I wish you were just an ordinary guy.” She suddenly slipped her mind and said it out loud. “ I'm sorry, Junhyung. I didn't mean to..” “ Don't worry, Anne. I understand your feelings. I know too that you've been hurt by that person who was a singer and lived the way I'm living now. If not you wouldn't say it out loud right?” He quickly grabbed her and hold her tight to his chest. She could feel his heart beat faster than a normal person. “ I won't make the same mistake I made when I used to date a very long time ago. I broke that person's heart so badly that she injured herself. I've learned my lesson for these past years now. I've finally met the one that made my heart beats like crazy right now. I couldn't imagine life without you, Anne. I know you haven't answer my proposal yet but I really hope that I could take care of you and the kids.” Junhyung knelt down in front of her and pull out a ring.
“ I would like you to have this as a token of our friendship and my honesty. I hope you accept this, Anne.” Junhyung took her right hand and slip it into her ring finger. It matched the ring he was wearing every events and shows he ever attended to. Anne was speechless as he knelt down on one knee and pull out the ring that was on her finger now. “ I don't know what to say, Junhyung. It is so shocking and beautiful at the same time. There's no word I could express myself with but we'll go with the flow okay? It's only been a day we've known each other and I don't want us to rush things. I hope you understand and yes I do accept your gift. It's so beautiful. Thank you, Junhyung.” Anne knelt down too and hugged him tightly. Junhyung smiled and hugged her back. Kimi and Mira watched them from the playground. “Mama, fighting!” Kimi shouted happily. Both of them then hurried to the playground and watched the kids played from the park bench.
It was lunch time and they went to a nearby restaurant to eat Malay food. Junhyung was so happy that he could spent time with Anne and the kids although his schedules were tight and hectic. Beast had to leave for Seoul around 2 p.m. He had one hour more before Hyun Joon come and pick him up. Anne knew that he was waiting for Hyun Joon. “Junhyung, come let me feed you with these 'Asam pedas ikan pari'.” Anne said while she gave him a spoonful of the fish. He ate it happily. “ I like it. I taste so nice. I love watching you feed the kids and me at the same time.” Junhyung said. “ I take it as a compliment then. Eat some more.” Anne fed him again. ' I never met a woman like her before. So special.' Junhyung said to himself. Anne also thought by herself. 'I can't believe I'm doing this. Junhyung is so sweet and innocent that I can't hurt his feelings. I have to make sure that he's not like Jae....' She was startled as Junhyung called her. “Yeah, sorry Junhyung. I was talking to myself.” “ It's okay. I usually like that too. It's a habit but now I can control it.” Junhyung said.
After lunch, they went for a walk in the neighbourhood before they spotted Hyun Joon's car not far from the junction. Hyun Joon appeared from the car and smiled at them. “Did you have fun together? Judging by the looks from the two of you, I can guess there's something going on right now.” He joked with them. Junhyung just smiled and kissed the children on their cheeks and hugged them tightly.“Hyun Joon, let's go or I'll be late.” Junhyung dragged his cousin into his car. Anne and the kids waved goodbyes to Junhyung and watched them drove off to the hotel. He did mumble 'I'll call you' to Anne. She understood him well although it's just for one night. He quickly messaged Anne and apologized for not hugging her in front of Hyun Joon. He wanted to wait for Anne's decision before breaking the good news. Anne replied back and thanked him for understanding her situation. ' I'm boarding the plane now. I'll call you when I reached Seoul. I missing you already, Anne. Take care dear.' Junhyung text her back before switching off his phone. ' Okay, Junhyung. Have a safe journey back home dear.' Anne replied his text too.
When Junhyung reached Seoul, he immediately called Anne. “ Hye Anne. It's me. I've just arrive at the airport. Did you miss me?” “ Hye Junhyung. Really? I'm glad you'd arrived safely dear. Of course I missed you.” Anne smiled while talking in front of Hyun Joon. He was so happy that his friend wasn't sad anymore. Afterwards, they hung up and Hyun Joon asked her. “ I see you and Junhyung are doing fine now that you two had met each other.” “ Yup, I guess so Hyun Joon. I hope he's the one I'm looking for.” She said and continued doing her assignments with him. While Junhyung on the other hand was smiling by himself as Beast were having their practice at CUBE. “ Junhyung, why are you smiling by yourself? Share with us.” Yoseob asked while waving his hand in front of Junhyung's face. That made him startled and answered. “ Just thinking about yesterday and this morning, that's all.” “ Ah....Anne is it? Hey guys, Junhyung here is seriously having a love sickness. Help him will you?” Yoseob yelled and ran to other members whom were discussing amongst themselves on the upcoming album. Then, all of them were surrounding Junhyung like vultures getting ready to eat its prey. “Junhyung, come on tell us. Was she the one you've been looking for? What was she like?” Doojoon asked him and waited for him to answer. “ No, I'm not going to tell you guys anything until it's official okay?” Junhyung said and got up to practice. Everyone just followed his lead.
That evening, Junhyung called her again after practice. “ Hye dear, missing you so much and the kids. Have you had dinner already?” He asked. “ Hye Junhyung. I missed you too. Yeah, I did just now with Mira and Kimi.” Anne said smiling by herself. “I'm going to have my dinner with the guys now. I'll talk to you later okay? Bye dear.” Junhyung said and ended his conversation. “Okay dear. Bye.” She too ended her conversation.

A New Beginning- Chapter 4 Long distance LOVE
Long distance LOVE
It was another hectic day for Anne as she had started her class while she had to handle her children's schedules as well as hers. But she did manage to go through them as usual. Plus with Jaejoong in her life now, everything seemed so easy and less stressful for her. Jaejoong would wake her up every morning with a phone call. “Good morning, my princess. I miss you and the kids so much. Especially your kisses and your smiles.” “ Morning, Jae. I miss you so much too. And that too.” Anne giggled feeling so naïve as though she felt in love for the first time. It was more that she could ever asked for. Jaejoong would also text her every single breaktime just to check on her.
She was so blessed and overwhelmed by his love and affection towards her. She felt like her life has just begun. That made all worth while for both of them. “ Chunnie, looks like our Jaejoongie here is madly in love. Just look at the way he smiles by himself, so naïve yet so stylish. I wonder when will I finally find my true love.” Junsu sighed as he told Yuchun with excitement. “ Yup, you can say that again, Junsu. Jaejoongie's madly in love alright. No doubt about it.” Yuchun agreed with him. He teased Junsu some more. “ But for you, I think the chances are very slim.” That made Junsu ran after him surrounding Jaejoong.
“Chunnie, why are you two running around like that?” Jaejoong just finished messaging Anne. Both of them stopped and took a deep breath. “Chunnie said I couldn't find my true love, Jaejoongie. It's not funny okay?” Junsu smirked at Yuchun as he told Jaejoong what was going on. “Chunnie, you shouldn't be teasing Junsu like that.” Jaejoong started his 'Omma lectures'. He was so famous for being the mother of the group because he was more concerned about the member's health more than anyone else. “I'm so sorry, Junsu. I won't tease you anymore.” Yuchun apologized. “That's better.” Jaejoong smiled looking at both of his members. He too was so grateful to fall in love with a woman like Anne. Eventhough their world were different but their relationship were getting stronger each day.
Until one day, while Anne was reading online Korean news, she was a bit shocked to see a picture of Jaejoong with some girl at a fancy restaurant that was taken a few days ago. The headline printed 'Hero Jaejoong secret girlfriend'. She was so frustrated that she decided to let him go. She didn't think that Jaejoong would lie to her like this. Her cellphone started ringing the minute the news was on paper. It was Jaejoong calling her but she didn't have a heart to pick up. She felt like she'd been cheated all over again. Her happy so-called world have started crumbling down deep into a mist of silence.
Meanwhile back at Jaejoong's apartment, all the guys were surrounding him like vicious tigers. “ Jaejoongie, was the story true? About you and that girl?” Junsu asked. “Yeah Jaejoongie, is it true? Tell us.” Yunho said. “ It's not true and she's not my girlfriend. She was my classmate from high school. I haven't see her for 10 years, that's why we went to a quiet restaurant to chat that's all.” Jaejoong explained. “ Have you spoken to Anne yet? She must be worried by now.” Yunho asked again. “ I tried but she didn't pick up the phone. What am I going to do?” Jaejoong was very worried about her. He knew that she must be hurt right now. “Why not you go and see her instead? We'll go together and convince her. I'll call our manager right now.” Yunho suggested and quickly called their manager about their vacation in Japan. “ Yeah, sure Yunho. I think you guys deserve a big break. I'll let our management know immediately. I'll see you back in 5 days' time.” Johnny hyung said. “ All settled. I've already booked our flight for tonight. Let's get packing guys. Don't worry so much, Jae. Everything's going to be alright. Trust me.” Yunho pat on Jaejoong's shoulder.
Their flight were leaving at 9:00PM. They sat in first class seats so that people won't recognize them. They arrived in Tokyo around midnight so they stayed at the hotel for the night. Jaejoong slept with Yuchun while Yunho with Junsu and Changmin. He tried calling Anne again with his Japanese line but still no answer. Anne knew his cellphone number so he tried calling using Yuchun's phone. Finally, there was an answer but she just kept quiet. “ Anne, it's me. Don't turn off the phone. Listen to me just this once. I want to tell you that me and that girl are just friends. She was my former classmate from high school and I haven't see her until a few days ago. I'm so sorry I didn't get the chance to tell you until the paparazzi made a news out of it. Talk to me, princess. Don't keep quiet like that. I'm worried sick about you.” Jaejoong explained every detail to her so that she doesn't misunderstand again.
“ Thanks for explaining to me, Jae. But please let me cool down first. I'm trying to digest your explanation. I'll talk to you later okay?” Anne said and hung up. Yuchun, who was hearing the conversation asked about the situation. “ She said she needed time to think first. What I am going to do?” Jaejoong sat down looking down at his feet. “Don't worry, Jaejoongie. She'll understand. Woman is unpredictable when it comes to this kind of situation. You just need to give her some time to think. Don't pressure her.” Yuchun comforted him. “ Thanks Chunnie. I really needed that piece of advice. Come on, let's get some sleep first. I'm going to go and see her first thing in the morning.” Jaejoong announced before he closed his eyes and lost in slumber land.
Next morning around 4:00AM, Jaejoong woke up and get ready to go to Anne's house. It took him only 20 minutes from the hotel to get there. Anne was already up and getting ready for class. He knocked on her door. She quickly answered the door and was surprise to see Jaejoong in front of her. “What are you doing here, Jae? I thought you were in Seoul.” Anne asked like she had seen a ghost.
“I was so worried about you that I, I mean we decided to come here to check on you. Please forgive me, princess. I didn't mean to make you sad and mad at the same time. I never thought the paparazzi could get a hold of the picture.” Jaejoong explained while holding her hands. “I've thought about it last night and since you made it all the from Seoul just to explain it to me, I'll forgive you this time. But only this time, okay? Tell me, is the guys with you right now?” Anne smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yup, they're back at the hotel, probably sleeping. I couldn't wait for them so here I am. I miss you so much dear.Where are my little angels?” He carried her into the apartment and put her down at the sofa. “They're still asleep, Jae. They usually wake up around 6:00AM. I don't want them to get up so early in the morning.” Anne got up and made him a cup of tea. He followed her to the kitchen. “So now, we have a little time to ourselves right?” Jaejoong quickly hugged her waist from behind and started kissing her neck gently. It gave her goosebumps all over.
Then, he turned her around facing him and said, “ Anne, I know the time is not right, but I just couldn't wait any longer. I have something I've been longing to give you. I've waited for this moment since you accepted my love and now I hope we could be together forever. Will you marry me, Anne?” Jaejoong knelt in front of her holding the ring box, custom made. There were a pair of platinum rings inside the box, one had an initial J with diamonds all over it and the other one was carved with an initial A which had a simple writing 'My pretty angels, Mira and Kimi'. Anne knew this day and moment would come so she was fully prepared. “Jae, I do want to marry you but still we have to consider others too like my family and yours. I will accept your proposal but after we have settle everything. I hope you understand dear. I don't want us to be apart just because of a small problem after we get married. I know you know that marrying a woman is like your marrying into somebody's family right? So, I want you to get to know my family, my religion and culture as I am going to get to know yours.” Anne put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
The warmth of her body made Jaejoong felt comfortable and soothing. So, in the end they have decided to take it slowly and steady. Although deep inside they wanted to just get married and have a nice simple life. That wouldn't be so easy as they are two worlds' apart. Suddenly, Jaejoong's cellphone rang. It was Yuchun “ Where are you Jaejoongie? We are worried sick about you. Junsu nearly called the police you know.” Yuchun said trying not to giggle. But Jaejoong could hear from the back that the others were giggling and laughing non stop. “ Yeah right, Chunnie. I could hear our brothers laughing like monkeys. And so you said Junsu nearly freaked out because I was gone? Very convincing.” Jaejoong said while putting them on speaker so that Anne could hear as well.
“Man, I thought you would fell for it. Stop it guys, he could hear you on the phone. So, how is it going? You're at Anne's house now right? And she's listening to our conversation right now. Hi, Anne.” Yuchun also put Jaejoong on loud speaker so that everyone could hear him. “Hey there Yuchun. Hi guys. Come on over for breakfast. I'm making bibimbap for breakfast. Jae here is going to help me so see you later guys.” Anne ended her conversation and started to prepare the ingredients. “ Yeah, I got to go. See you guys later. Bye.” Jaejoong also ended his conversation and followed her into the kitchen. “ He sure is lucky to have her. Let's get ready first and then go to Anne's house.” Yuchun said and everyone agreed. “ Anne, you don't have to cook today. I'll be your chef okay? You just sit here and wait. This won't take too long.” Jaejoong smiled and led her to her stool where she just sat and watched him cook. Around 6:00 AM, she woke up her children and bathed them. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. There stood all for of them dressed in a lot of clothes so that they won't get recognize by their fans. It was a must for them.
“ Hi guys, come on in. Breakfast will be ready in a minute, isn't that right Jae?” Anne said and led them to her dining table. “Yeah, in a minute.” Jaejoong said. “Wow, I can't wait to eat.”Changmin said with pleasure. Junsu and Yuchun agreed with him. Yunho just smiled. He knew Jaejoong's cooking would be delicious. “Mama, all uncles are here! I'm so happy!” Kimi shouted happily and hugged them. All of them ate breakfast happily and chatted cheerfully. “Jae, how did you manage to do it? Anne, tell us please..” Junsu asked both of them eagerly. Both of them smiled and said, “Love” . “Wow, that's amazing! I hope I find a girl just like you Anne.” Changmin smiled happily. Around 8:00PM, Anne went out together with her children, Jaejoong and the guys. All of them went back to the hotel except for Jaejoong. He accompanied Anne by sending her and the children to school. When they arrived at her school, they beaded goodbyes and Jaejoong watched her disappeared into the crowd. Then he sent Kimi to his kindergarten near Anne's school. Some of the mothers did recognize him but he just ignored them. “Study smart and play nice okay, Kimi? Uncle Jae will come and pick you up after school.” Jaejoong said while tidying Kimi's tie. “Really, Uncle Jae? That is so wonderful! I'll see you later, bye Uncle Jae.” Kimi said eagerly and run off happily with his schoolmates.
Jaejoong was so happy seeing Anne, Mira and Kimi again. He felt all his worries just disappeared and left with only joy and happiness. While Jaejoong was waiting Anne back at the hotel, there was a message from an unknown caller. 'Hi, JJ. This is Yuki. I know you have forgotten about me but I still remember how you made me a princess for a night. I will not forget it until I die. I'll be keeping in touch with you from time to time. Love, Yuki.' After he read the message, he quickly showed it to the guys.
“Are you kidding me, Jae? How could somebody know your number because we are using a private line? We have to get into the bottom of this before Anne knows about it.” Yuchun declared as they examined the message. All of them checked their contact number to see if the number matched with their numbers but they failed to find a single number that matches the unknown number. “This calls for a backup plan.” Yunho said and called a friend of him. ' Hey, man. I need your help a.s.a.p. Could you check this number for me? It's very urgent. Thanks, dude.' Yunho ended his conversation and smiled to his brothers. “ We'll be hearing from my friend in just a few seconds.” He said firmly while waiting patiently for the phone call. Just then, his phone rang. It was his friend, Taewoon. “Really man? Thanks bro.” Yunho smiled as he ended his conversation. “Guess what I've found? That Yuki is just a stalker. Nothing big really. Jaejoongie, you're safe. You have to change your number again and this time you have to make it into private number. It's for your own safety.” He announced and looked directly at Jaejoong who was listening tentively. He just nod his head with agreement.
Everyone just looked and continued with whatever they were doing. Junsu and Yuchun were busy with their computer games. While Changmin was practicing his songs through his ipod player tuck in his pocket. Yunho continued practicing his dance choreography for their next show. Jaejoong looked at his watch and took off. He wanted to pick up the kids at their schools. Today, Anne has a late discussion with her classmates after class. After picking up both Mira and Kimi, Jaejoong brought them to the hotel and had lunch with the guys at a sushi bar not far from their hotel. All of them had fun eating and playing with Mira and Kimi. “Guys, could you watch over the kids while I go and pick up Anne from her class discussion.” Jaejoong said and all of them just nod with agreement. He hurriedly went out and took a cab to the university. Just then, his phone rang. It was Anne. 'Hi Jae, where are you? Are you coming or not?” Anne asked happily. “ Yeah, I'm on my way now. I'll be there in a few minutes.” Jaejoong said and hung up. From afar, he could see Anne was standing near the entrance of her university, waiting patiently for him. The cab stopped in front of her and that made her startled. “My princess.” Jaejoong walked out of the cab and hugged her. “ Jae, you came.” Anne hugged him back and kissed his cheek. Both of them went into the cab that took them back to the hotel. “ Thanks Jae for picking me up. You don't need to do this, really.” Anne said while squeezing his hands. “It's okay, Anne. I want to see my princess safe and sound. It's been long since we last met. I haven't had the chance to hug you and kiss you yet.” Jaejoong smiled as he put his arm around her waist. She leaned on his chest listening to his heartbeat. “ I missed hearing your heartbeat, Jae. It feels so good.” Anne said while closing her eyes and listening to Jaejoong's heartbeat. “ I missed smelling your perfume my princess. I missed everything about you, Anne.” Jaejoong lifted up her face in front of his and started kissing her passionately. It made them blushed because they just remembered that they were in a cab.
When they arrived at the hotel, all of the members including Mira and Kimi were waiting for them happily. “Mama, you're here. Welcome back.” Kimi shouted excitedly and hugged her body. “Kimi, did you behave with all the uncles while I'm gone?” Anne asked him. Kimi smiled and said, “Yeah, Mama. Me and Mira went to eat with the uncles. It was so much fun. I wish you could come too.” “ Okay, tonight I'll cook for all you guys!” She smiled and winked at Jaejoong who was watching her tentatively. “ Uncle Jae will help Mama too, right?” Jaejoong winked back at Anne as he lifted Kimi onto his shoulders. “ That's right!” Kimi shouted and everyone laughed.
That evening, they all had a wonderful dinner and talked happily. Jaejoong helped Anne in the kitchen with the dishes and the guys were busy playing with Kimi and Mira. They even played PS3 together. Awhile later, it was time for Mira and Kimi 's bedtime. “Good night, uncles. I had fun playing with you today. Mira had fun too.” Kimi said and quickly grabbed Jaejoong's hand. Anne already took Mira to her bedroom. Then, when Jaejoong entered her bedroom, Mira was already fast asleep. Kimi wished Anne and Jaejoong good night and sleep soundly a minute later. “ Thanks Jae. I mean for taking care of them. I-I-I...” Before she could say anything, Jaejoong quickly kissed her lips,hugging her tightly in his arms. Anne felt safe with him.
When they went to the living room, the others were still playing PS3. “Anne, are they asleep now?” Yunho asked. “Yeah, they are sleeping soundly now. I want to thank you guys for taking care of them today. Thank you so much, guys.” Anne smiled and hugged them one by one. Junsu and Yoochun whom were playing paused the game just to hug her back. “It's okay, Anne. You're like a family to us now. It's no big deal.” Yoochun answered in English just to piss everyone off. “ Yoochun, you just doing it on purpose right?” Anne laughed. “ Yup, it's just for fun. It's been long since I used this language with anyone.” Yoochun laughed too. The other watching them talking in foreign language were puzzled. “Yoochunna,what are you saying to Anne?” All of us don't speak English that good, you know.” Junsu asked. “It's a secret you know.” Yoochun smiled. “ Don't worry you guys. It's just a formal conversation, really.” Anne explained.
“I guess we better get going, Anne. Thanks for the dinner.” Yunho said and hugged her. “You are most welcome, Yunho. I'm so happy you guys came here to see me.” Anne hugged back. “ No, thank you for your warm hospitality and cooking.” Changmin added and hugged her. Then, she hugged Yoochun and Junsu. Both of them beaded her good night and all of them took a cab to the hotel. Jaejoong was left there to accompany Anne for the night before they head back to Seoul tomorrow morning. Both of them were sitting on the couch in her small and cozy living room. Although her house was smaller than the apartment she lived in Seoul but there was no different. The feeling was still the same. Jaejoong could feel that he was at home.
“What were you thinking just now? You looked like something was on your mind just now.” Anne faced him and straightened up her body. “Nothing my princess. I was thinking about us and the feeling when I'm with you, so comfortable and cozy. Thank you Anne for giving me the chance to love you. I know our world are different but I know we could be happy together with the kids.” Jaejoong explained tentatively. Anne's heart started beating fast and she had cold sweat. She smiled and hugged him. “ Thank you too for loving me Jae. I know we will.” Anne had prepared a bed for Jae next to her in her bedroom. “ Is it okay for me to sleep here with you tonight? I can sleep outside in the living room.” Jaejoong asked rather puzzled. She smiled and said, “ Yeah, I trust you Jae.” He was so happy that she trusted him now. As they lay down side by side, Anne turned her body facing him as he did the same thing. “ Are you sleepy now?” She asked him. “ No, not yet. Just going to...” He didn't finish his sentence because Anne was kissing him slightly on his lips.
Then, she quickly faced the other side. That made Jaejoong puzzled. “Anne, look at me. Did I do something wrong?” He asked while hugging her from behind. “ I'm sorry, I shouldn't kiss you in this situation. I don't want us to cross the border yet.” She said as she turned her body around. “ Don't be sorry Anne. I won't let us do what we promised each other but it's not like you can't kiss me. I want you to kiss me like always. You know I miss you so much Anne.” Jaejoong smiled and kissed her on her lips. She missed his kiss so much. After a while, both of them fell into a deep and blissful sleep while hugging each other.
It was another hectic day for Anne as she had started her class while she had to handle her children's schedules as well as hers. But she did manage to go through them as usual. Plus with Jaejoong in her life now, everything seemed so easy and less stressful for her. Jaejoong would wake her up every morning with a phone call. “Good morning, my princess. I miss you and the kids so much. Especially your kisses and your smiles.” “ Morning, Jae. I miss you so much too. And that too.” Anne giggled feeling so naïve as though she felt in love for the first time. It was more that she could ever asked for. Jaejoong would also text her every single breaktime just to check on her.
She was so blessed and overwhelmed by his love and affection towards her. She felt like her life has just begun. That made all worth while for both of them. “ Chunnie, looks like our Jaejoongie here is madly in love. Just look at the way he smiles by himself, so naïve yet so stylish. I wonder when will I finally find my true love.” Junsu sighed as he told Yuchun with excitement. “ Yup, you can say that again, Junsu. Jaejoongie's madly in love alright. No doubt about it.” Yuchun agreed with him. He teased Junsu some more. “ But for you, I think the chances are very slim.” That made Junsu ran after him surrounding Jaejoong.
“Chunnie, why are you two running around like that?” Jaejoong just finished messaging Anne. Both of them stopped and took a deep breath. “Chunnie said I couldn't find my true love, Jaejoongie. It's not funny okay?” Junsu smirked at Yuchun as he told Jaejoong what was going on. “Chunnie, you shouldn't be teasing Junsu like that.” Jaejoong started his 'Omma lectures'. He was so famous for being the mother of the group because he was more concerned about the member's health more than anyone else. “I'm so sorry, Junsu. I won't tease you anymore.” Yuchun apologized. “That's better.” Jaejoong smiled looking at both of his members. He too was so grateful to fall in love with a woman like Anne. Eventhough their world were different but their relationship were getting stronger each day.
Until one day, while Anne was reading online Korean news, she was a bit shocked to see a picture of Jaejoong with some girl at a fancy restaurant that was taken a few days ago. The headline printed 'Hero Jaejoong secret girlfriend'. She was so frustrated that she decided to let him go. She didn't think that Jaejoong would lie to her like this. Her cellphone started ringing the minute the news was on paper. It was Jaejoong calling her but she didn't have a heart to pick up. She felt like she'd been cheated all over again. Her happy so-called world have started crumbling down deep into a mist of silence.
Meanwhile back at Jaejoong's apartment, all the guys were surrounding him like vicious tigers. “ Jaejoongie, was the story true? About you and that girl?” Junsu asked. “Yeah Jaejoongie, is it true? Tell us.” Yunho said. “ It's not true and she's not my girlfriend. She was my classmate from high school. I haven't see her for 10 years, that's why we went to a quiet restaurant to chat that's all.” Jaejoong explained. “ Have you spoken to Anne yet? She must be worried by now.” Yunho asked again. “ I tried but she didn't pick up the phone. What am I going to do?” Jaejoong was very worried about her. He knew that she must be hurt right now. “Why not you go and see her instead? We'll go together and convince her. I'll call our manager right now.” Yunho suggested and quickly called their manager about their vacation in Japan. “ Yeah, sure Yunho. I think you guys deserve a big break. I'll let our management know immediately. I'll see you back in 5 days' time.” Johnny hyung said. “ All settled. I've already booked our flight for tonight. Let's get packing guys. Don't worry so much, Jae. Everything's going to be alright. Trust me.” Yunho pat on Jaejoong's shoulder.
Their flight were leaving at 9:00PM. They sat in first class seats so that people won't recognize them. They arrived in Tokyo around midnight so they stayed at the hotel for the night. Jaejoong slept with Yuchun while Yunho with Junsu and Changmin. He tried calling Anne again with his Japanese line but still no answer. Anne knew his cellphone number so he tried calling using Yuchun's phone. Finally, there was an answer but she just kept quiet. “ Anne, it's me. Don't turn off the phone. Listen to me just this once. I want to tell you that me and that girl are just friends. She was my former classmate from high school and I haven't see her until a few days ago. I'm so sorry I didn't get the chance to tell you until the paparazzi made a news out of it. Talk to me, princess. Don't keep quiet like that. I'm worried sick about you.” Jaejoong explained every detail to her so that she doesn't misunderstand again.
“ Thanks for explaining to me, Jae. But please let me cool down first. I'm trying to digest your explanation. I'll talk to you later okay?” Anne said and hung up. Yuchun, who was hearing the conversation asked about the situation. “ She said she needed time to think first. What I am going to do?” Jaejoong sat down looking down at his feet. “Don't worry, Jaejoongie. She'll understand. Woman is unpredictable when it comes to this kind of situation. You just need to give her some time to think. Don't pressure her.” Yuchun comforted him. “ Thanks Chunnie. I really needed that piece of advice. Come on, let's get some sleep first. I'm going to go and see her first thing in the morning.” Jaejoong announced before he closed his eyes and lost in slumber land.
Next morning around 4:00AM, Jaejoong woke up and get ready to go to Anne's house. It took him only 20 minutes from the hotel to get there. Anne was already up and getting ready for class. He knocked on her door. She quickly answered the door and was surprise to see Jaejoong in front of her. “What are you doing here, Jae? I thought you were in Seoul.” Anne asked like she had seen a ghost.
“I was so worried about you that I, I mean we decided to come here to check on you. Please forgive me, princess. I didn't mean to make you sad and mad at the same time. I never thought the paparazzi could get a hold of the picture.” Jaejoong explained while holding her hands. “I've thought about it last night and since you made it all the from Seoul just to explain it to me, I'll forgive you this time. But only this time, okay? Tell me, is the guys with you right now?” Anne smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yup, they're back at the hotel, probably sleeping. I couldn't wait for them so here I am. I miss you so much dear.Where are my little angels?” He carried her into the apartment and put her down at the sofa. “They're still asleep, Jae. They usually wake up around 6:00AM. I don't want them to get up so early in the morning.” Anne got up and made him a cup of tea. He followed her to the kitchen. “So now, we have a little time to ourselves right?” Jaejoong quickly hugged her waist from behind and started kissing her neck gently. It gave her goosebumps all over.
Then, he turned her around facing him and said, “ Anne, I know the time is not right, but I just couldn't wait any longer. I have something I've been longing to give you. I've waited for this moment since you accepted my love and now I hope we could be together forever. Will you marry me, Anne?” Jaejoong knelt in front of her holding the ring box, custom made. There were a pair of platinum rings inside the box, one had an initial J with diamonds all over it and the other one was carved with an initial A which had a simple writing 'My pretty angels, Mira and Kimi'. Anne knew this day and moment would come so she was fully prepared. “Jae, I do want to marry you but still we have to consider others too like my family and yours. I will accept your proposal but after we have settle everything. I hope you understand dear. I don't want us to be apart just because of a small problem after we get married. I know you know that marrying a woman is like your marrying into somebody's family right? So, I want you to get to know my family, my religion and culture as I am going to get to know yours.” Anne put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
The warmth of her body made Jaejoong felt comfortable and soothing. So, in the end they have decided to take it slowly and steady.

I know our world are different but I know we could be happy together with the kids.” Jaejoong explained tentatively. Anne's heart started beating fast and she had cold sweat. She smiled and hugged him. “ Thank you too for loving me Jae. I know we will.” Anne had prepared a bed for Jae next to her in her bedroom. “ Is it okay for me to sleep here with you tonight? I can sleep outside in the living room.” Jaejoong asked rather puzzled. She smiled and said, “ Yeah, I trust you Jae.” He was so happy that she trusted him now. As they lay down side by side, Anne turned her body facing him as he did the same thing. “ Are you sleepy now?” She asked him. “ No, not yet. Just going to...” He didn't finish his sentence because Anne was kissing him slightly on his lips.
Then, she quickly faced the other side. That made Jaejoong puzzled. “Anne, look at me. Did I do something wrong?” He asked while hugging her from behind. “ I'm sorry, I shouldn't kiss you in this situation. I don't want us to cross the border yet.” She said as she turned her body around. “ Don't be sorry Anne. I won't let us do what we promised each other but it's not like you can't kiss me. I want you to kiss me like always. You know I miss you so much Anne.” Jaejoong smiled and kissed her on her lips. She missed his kiss so much. After a while, both of them fell into a deep and blissful sleep while hugging each other.

A New Beginning- Chapter 3 Departure at last
Departure at last
When Jaejoong arrived at the studio, the others were waiting for him. “What took you so long Jaejoongie? Where were you last night anyway? You didn't even tell us. We were worried about you.” Junsu started questioning him. Jaejoong just smiled and told them about his sleepover at Anne's place. They were listening tentively, even Yuchun who was about to doze off woke up to hear the story. “There you go, I've told everything there is to know about. I think that explains everything. Case close right?” Everyone agreed with him and they started their warm-ups and practices throughout the whole day.
Meanwhile back at Anne's place, the usual things happened. She cooked lunch and dinner for her children. Jaejoong sent her cute messages all day long and it made her blushed after reading them. 'Hi there my princess...Missing u already..Love J.' 'It's me again...What are the kids doing? I can't wait to see them..Especially their beautiful mom..Love, J.' 'Hi my love...I'm missing u with every breathe I take and with all my heart, mind and soul..Love, J.' Lee Teuk also called her and told her that they were pretty busy that day. “Don't worry, Lee Teuk. I really understand. Don't worry about us okay? You just concentrate on your practices with the guys. I'll talk to you later. Bye.” She ended her conversation and played with the kids until it was their bedtime.
After putting them to sleep, she continued watching t.v. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She was startled and rushed to the door. “Who is it?” She asked firmly. “It's me, Heechul. Please open the door, I won't bite you.” Heechul joked. She knew it was Heechul and she let him into the apartment. “Where are the others? Are they back yet?” She asked formally so that she doesn't sound like she was asking about Lee Teuk. “ Well, they still have a game show to record but mine finished early so here I am. Did you miss me?” Heechul said cheerfully as they sat down on the couch. “ Yeah, I missed all of the guys, Heechul. Including you of course.” She answered and went into the kitchen to make a mug of hot chocolate for him. “ Anne, there's something I'd be longing to give you but I haven't have the time. Now, I want to give it to you. But you need to close your eyes first. No peaking.” He quickly took out from his pocket a platinum bracelet with a tangling initial H and a carved heart shaped clinging onto the bracelet. Once he put on the bracelet to her right hand, he kissed her hand lightly.
Anne opened her eyes to see the present.“It's so beautiful, Heechul-sshi. I really love it, thanks.” She smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek. They talked until it was already 12a.m. “Oh, look at the time. I'd better be going now. So, I'll see you tomorrow?” Heechul smiled and gave her a light kiss on her lips. “Okay, Heechul- sshi. Good night and sweet dreams.” Anne smiled and locked the door behind her. Her heart was still beating fast after the kiss. Was she in love with Heechul? She asked herself. But she doesn't has the answer to her question. All she could do was prayed to Allah to give her strength to accept what He had given her now, a new life with her children and loved ones.
It was already Saturday morning, one more day and its bon voyage Seoul. Anne woke up as usual, cooked breakfast and bathed the children. Afterwards, they sat together on the couch and watched t.v when someone knocked on the door. It was Lee Teuk and he was on his way to work but he decided to stop by at her apartment. “Good morning, beautiful. I just stop by to check on you and the kids. I'm so sorry about last night. I was so busy with our show and..I missed you so much.” He was making puppy eyed and that made her laughed. “Good morning, Lee Teuk. It's okay, I understand and I missed your puppy eyes. They are so adorable and cute.” She said and kissed his cheek. Lee Teuk smiled and said, “ Really? That's so sweet. Thanks for the compliment. How's the children by the way? I missed seeing them.” He went to check on the kids and said goodbyes to them because he had to go to work. “ I'll see you later, okay? Bye.” He smiled and kissed her cheek. Anne waited until he disappeared into the elevator and closed the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Jaejoong was already on his way to her apartment with a big bouquet of red roses. He didn't have any show so he decided to spend the whole day with Anne and the kids. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Anne was busy preparing lunch and told Kimi to get the door for her. “ Hey, big guy. How are you? Is your Mama home?” Jaejoong hugged Kimi and carried him inside. “Who is it baby?” Anne asked while washing the vegetables. There was no answer. It was weird because she thought she heard a man's voice talking to her son. Jaejoong quietly walked up behind her and hugged her from behind. It made her startled a bit but she didn't shout because she could smell Jaejoong's perfume around her. “Hi my princess.” He whispered and kissed the back of her neck lightly. That drove shivers to herself.
When she turned around, in front of her was a big bouquet of red roses wrapped neatly in a transparent wrapper. Behind the flowers was Jaejoong smiling brightly. “These are for you my dear. I hope you like them.” “It's beautiful Jaejoong. I really like them. Thanks.” Anne quickly put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. He was the happiest guy in the world and that made him blushed. Anne smiled and said, “ Why the sudden surprise? I thought you were working today.” “ Well, we did have a show later on but the producer called in sick so it was canceled. So, here I am.” He explained. “Where are the guys?” She asked while finishing her seafood stew with vegetables. “ They probably hang out at the apartment. I've checked on them already. Yunho said they want to relax and play games with Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin.” He explained some more as he seated at the counter kitchen watching her every move. She noticed him staring at her and she quickly walked up to him. “ May I know why you were staring at me just now?” “ Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I want to spend one whole day watching you and the kids. I hope you're not mad at me.” He explained while holding her hands and kissed them. “ No, Jaejoong. I'm not mad at all. I too want to spend times with you. I didn't think you really come today but you did. I was so surprised and happy at the same time, I didn't know how to express it..” Before she could end her sentence, Jaejoong pulled her close to his stool and started kissing her lips. Anne who were standing in front of him a bit surprise quickly put her arms around his neck and enjoyed their kiss.
Both of them blushed after the kiss. “ I uh, go and set up the table first. It's already lunch time.” Anne quickly set up the table and they had a nice long lunch together with the kids. “ Uncle Jae, I want to play PS3 with you.” Kimi exclaimed, as he jumped up and down happily. “Alright buddy, let's go!” Jaejoong hurried to the living room carrying Mira with him. Anne was so happy to see her children played with him. How she longed for that moment to come, she thought to herself. Awhile later, she joined them in the living room. It was already bath time and Anne got up from the couch and switched off the t.v. “Bath time dear. Come on, get going Kimi.” She ordered him. “But Mama, can Uncle Jae bathed with me? Please? Pretty please..” Kimi pleaded. “ If it's okay with Uncle Jaejoong?” Anne winked at Jaejoong. “Okay big guy. Let's take a bath. Come on.” Jaejoong quickly carried Kimi into the bathroom.
Afterwards, Anne bathed Mira and get ready for dinner. “ Anne, I want to bring you and the kids out for dinner. If it's okay with you? Don't worry, we'll eat at a Muslim restaurant.”Jaejoong smiled. “Okay Jaejoong, Kids, tonight we're having dinner outside with Uncle Jaejoong.” She said happily. She always wanted to go out with Jaejoong. It was a dream come true. A few hours later, they reached a restaurant just outside Seoul in Jaejoong's car. It was a Malay Muslim restaurant which served only Malaysian food. The owner had been living in Korea for 20 years and married a Korean woman. So, the food there were versatile and fusion. But still preserved the Malay taste so that the Koreans can taste Malaysian cuisines. “Ahh, Jaejoong. How are you? It's been a long time since you come here.” Mr. Daniel smiled when they came into the restaurant. “I'm fine, thanks sir. I've been busy with work. So are the rest.” Jaejoong answered. “And who might this beautiful lady be?” Mr. Daniel asked with anticipation. “This is my princess Anne and her children, Kimi and Mira. They're all Malaysian, you know.”Jaejoong answered smiling.
“Well, I'd better be going now. It's late already.” Jaejoong said as they walked out from her room. “Jae, could you stay here for the night? With me..please?” Anne asked while holding his arm. He was longing for her to say that magic word the whole day. He smiled back and quickly hugged her tight to his chest. “ I would love to accompany you my princess. I've been waiting for you to say that. I thought you'd never ask.” “ Really? You were waiting for me? That is so sweet of you, Jae.” Anne looked up at him and kissed his cheek. Then, Anne led him into her room where the kids were fast asleep on the bed. “ Are you sure you want me to sleep here? I mean I can sleep in the next room if you want me to.” Jaejoong asked her while she was making the bed for him next to where Kimi was sleeping and her bed was on the other side beside Mira. “ Yes, dear.I want you to sleep here with me and the kids.” She said as she pulled him to sit next to her on the bed. “ Is it okay with you?” “Yeah, I was a bit surprised at first and happy at the same time. You know that I love you, Anne.” He said as he kissed her lips passionately. Jaejoong moved to the other side of the bed while Anne slept beside Mira.
A minute had gone but he couldn't fall asleep so he decided to check on Anne. “Princess, are you asleep yet?” “No, not yet Jae. I can't sleep.” She whispered softly. “Come here and sit next to me.” He told her and Jaejoong hugged her as she leaned against him. “ How I wish that we could be together everyday, then we don't need to stay apart.” He whispered beside her right ear that gave her goosebumps. “But Jae..” Before she could answer him, he quickly started kissing her. Now, he couldn't hold his desire anymore. When he was trying to unbutton her pajamas, she grabbed his hand. That made him stopped immediately. “I'm so sorry, princess. I didn't mean to do it, I..” Jae tried to apologize to her but she smiled at him and said, “ It's okay dear, I guess we can't sleep together right? You know the rules?” Jaejoong got up with her and went into the next room where she already made the bed for him.
“Are you mad at me? I'm sorry for acting like that just now.” He apologized with a sad face and hugged her tight. “I'm not mad at you, Jae. You know the rules right? We talked about it before, if any of us started acting too much, we have to stop from anything bad happens to us. You know that I love you too but now isn't the right time. I just started to know you, Jae. I hope you understand.” Anne explained and looked up to him. He smiled and hugged her once more before both of them went to bed, separately. Both of them looked up at the ceiling while thinking what had happened earlier. Jaejoong knew that Anne was right about their relationship, he just smiled and fell asleep. So did Anne.
Next day, it was time for her to go back to Tokyo. She woke up as usual and made their breakfast, Western style, toast with egg and salad. Then, she went to see if Jaejoong's up already. When she entered the room, he was still sleeping soundly and wearing only boxers without any shirt on. She tiptoed near his bed and sat next to him on bed. 'He's so sexy and cute when he's asleep',she thought to herself. While she was trying to stroke his hair, suddenly Jaejoong opened his eyes and smiled at her. “Good morning my princess. Have a good night sleep last night? Where's my angels? They haven't wake up yet?” “Not yet, Jae. I just want to check on you. I already put your towel in the bathroom and ironed your clothes. They're in the closet.” Anne smiled and got up to leave but Jaejoong stopped her.
“Are you forgetting something?” he said pointing his index finger at his cheek. “Oh, I almost forgot. I have to check on the kids.” She just ignored him and went out from the room. That made him puzzled, 'What's wrong with her this morning?' , he asked himself. “Anne, did I say something wrong? You were trying to ignore me just now. Why? Tell me please or I won't let you go back to Tokyo.” He asked her during breakfast. Anne smiled and said, “ Nothing's wrong, Jae. Don't worry.” That made Jaejoong felt more curious and worried about her. He wanted to know what happened to her that morning but he had to find a chance to talk to her.
After breakfast, Jaejoong helped her at the kitchen while the kids were watching Anime. “Anne, are you okay?You seemed distracted somehow.” He asked while watching her finished her cleaning. “You know I'm here for you right? I can feel that you're not happy right now. I don't want you to feel unhappy because of me. Come on, tell me what happened?” “ If I tell you, I will cry so I don't want to tell you.” She looked away as they talked. “ Please don't pressure me, Jae.” Without hesitation, Jaejoong quickly hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, “ I know why you're doing this to me, Anne. Don't worry my princess, my heart is with you now no matter how far we are from each other. Please don't cry. If you don't want to see me at the airport, I won't come to see you off.” “I want to see you Jae so badly that it hurts me to part away from you like this.” Anne's tears were falling onto his arms as he hugged her tightly.
“ Don't cry Anne. It hurts me so much to see you cry. We'll see each other again. I'll come to Tokyo when I'm free. I promise you and the kids.” Jaejoong quickly turned her around and kissed her. They enjoyed every moment they have before it was time for Anne to leave. After breakfast, Jaejoong said goodbye to the kids as well as Anne. He didn't want anyone to find out that he spent the night at her house. Especially Lee Teuk and the guys. “Is it okay for me to leave? I could stay if you want.” He said as he walked to the door. “ No, I'm fine. Let's just keep it to ourselves first okay? And I want you and the guys to come and see me off tonight.” She put her arms around him and kissed him on his lips. Awhile later, he disappeared into the elevator. Then, a knock came at the door. She was about to called out his name when there stood Lee Teuk with a bouquet of red roses. “ Lee Teuk sshi, I'm so surprise! Come on in. Where are the guys?” She led him into the living room where the kids were sleeping soundly after breakfast. “ Ah, they're already asleep?” Lee Teuk whispered as they sat on the sofa. “Yup, just now. How did it go? I mean your show and all?” She smiled happily.
“ Well, it went well so far. I guess getting to know you made things a lot easier for me, Anne.” He smiled and kissed her hands. It made her blush straight away. “ Thanks, Lee Teuk. I never thought I made a difference in your life. I'm so happy that you feel that way about me. Actually, there's something I need to tell you before I leave.” Anne looked at him into the eyes and told about her true feelings about him and Jaejoong. Lee Teuk was a bit shock at first but later he just smiled and said, “ It's okay, Anne. I totally understand about the whole thing. Jaejoong is so lucky to have you in his life now.” “ Really, Lee Teuk? I'm so glad that you understand. We're still friends right? I don't want to loose you as a friend.” She hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss on his cheek. “ Yeah, sure we're friends. I don't want to loose you either Anne. You're such a dear friend to me.” He smiled happily as he watched her making some tea at the kitchen.
“Thanks, Anne. I'm going to miss your tea and your cooking.” Lee Teuk took a sip of his tea while sitting down next to her on the sofa. “ Really? I'm going to miss you and the guys also. You too are such a dear friends to me, all of you. Are they coming tonight to see me off?” She smiled. “ Yeah, all of us are going to come, don't worry. We won't miss it for the world.” He smiled back and they continued talking for a while before Lee Teuk said goodbye and headed home.
It was lunch time and Anne prepared meals for the kids. Suddenly, there's a knock at her door. “Who is it?” She said cheerfully as she opened the door. There stood Heechul in front of her with a bunch of red roses. He was smiling happily as he entered the house. “It's the one and only your Heechul. Aren't you happy to see me?” “ Of course I'm happy to see you Heechul. Let's have lunch first and then we talk okay?” Anne invited him for lunch and afterwards they sat cozily on the couch with the kids taking their nap in front of the television.
“ Okay, now. Where were we?” Anne smiled. “ Well, the reason I came to see you is I want to know about your decision and our relationship. I really want us to be together, I want to take care of you and the kids.” Heechul explained carefully. “ There's something I need to tell you but I'll answer your questions dear. I do like you Heechul sshi and care about you and the guys. But my decision is I think I'm more comfortable if we stay as friends. The reason is I have someone in my life now and you know him. I'm telling you now because I don't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry Heechul sshi.” She explained and tried to find a good sign from him. Then, he smiled. “ I think I know that lucky guy, it's either Teukie or Jaejoong right?” “ It's Jae. Lee Teuk also proposed to me. I'm so sorry dear.” She nervously explained the reason. “ It's okay, Anne. I noticed you were really close with both of them and I couldn't help it but hearing you and Jae were quarreling back when we were at the beach. I'm so sorry, Anne.” Heechul apologized.
“ It's okay, dear. I'm not mad or anything. I'm so glad to have friends like you and Lee Teuk. It's so nice to be here and making friends with you and the guys. I hope I can come again.” She smiled happily. Her thoughts were true all along. Both Lee Teuk and Heechul sshi understand her and cared about her. She could never has friends as true as them. Before he left, he kissed her forehead and hands. “ What was that for?” Anne asked smilingly. “ That was for being such a good friend to me. I'll be missing you, Anne. Bon voyage.” Heechul smiled. “ Thanks, Heechul sshi. I won't forget you and the guys. So, I'll see you later then.” She closed the door behind her with a relief. Everything was settled without a single heartbreak or blood. 'Now, to get the kids ready.' Anne thought to herself as she packed all her things and cleaned the apartment.
It was already 6:00PM, almost near to departure from the guys. Her flight will soon leave at 9:00PM. After dinner, there was a knock at her door. It was Jaejoong. He was smiling happily to see her. He gave her a kiss on her cheek. “Are you ready? The guys are all waiting downstairs at the car. Where's Lee Teuk and the guys?” He asked as he put Mira on her wheelchair and quickly carried her luggage and Kimi all together. Just then, both of them saw Lee Teuk and Heechul. “ Where are you two going with Mira and Kimi? Let us take care of the kids, okay? Meet you downstairs at the car.” Heechul winked at both of them as he and Lee Teuk took the kids. “ Meet you downstairs, Anne, Jae.” Lee Teuk smiled and left them inside the house all alone. “ I guess this is it. I don't want to leave you, Jae. I really...” Before she could say another word, Jaejoong quickly hugged her tightly to his chest as she could hear his heartbeat fast like a bullet train. “ Do you hear my heartbeat? It will only beats for you, Anne. Only you. Just don't forget. I love you, Anne.” He kissed her lips passionately. She could feel the warmth of his touch, his lips brushing hers.
Then, both of them went downstairs and met all of the guys. Anne rode with Jaejoong, Yunho, Changmin, Yuchun, Junsu, and the kids. While the rest were in Lee Teuk's car. Gimpo's airport took them about 45 minutes so they have to reach there by 8:00PM or Anne would be late to board the plane. When they reached the airport, there was still another 1 hour and a half to departure. All of them went for a drink at the cafe. “I would like to make a special toast to Anne and Jaejoongie for their new relationship as a couple.” Lee Teuk announced and smiled at them. That made both of them blushed. “We were going to announce it just now but thanks to Teukie hyung, he made our day. Thanks hyung. I hope our relationship will last forever.” Jaejoong said smiling at her. Anne knew how he felt for her and it really hurt to part from him.
Meanwhile Yuchun smiled slyly at Kibum whose listening to Jae's speeches. “Kibum, do you still remember about our bet? I'm waiting for my prize.” Yuchun whispered to Kibum without anyone noticed them. “Yeah, I remember alright. Afterwards we go get something to eat okay?” Kibum whispered back. “What's wrong with the two of you?” Junsu asked curiously.
“Nothing, Junsu. We're just playing around. Isn't that right Kibum?” Yuchun winked at Kibum giving him a signal to agree with him. “Yeah, that's right.” Kibum agreed.
' The flight to Tokyo will departure at 9:00 PM. All passengers are advice to board the plane, thank you.' The announcer spoke using the microphone. Anne finally got up from her seat, so were the rest. “So, I'll be seeing you guys, okay? Don't forget to call.” She said to her friends. “Of course, Anne. We won't forget.” Lee Teuk said on behalf of the guys. Anne hugged all of them one by one until it was Jaejoong's turn. She embraced him so tightly and tears started falling on her red cheek. She was crying her heart's out now and that made Jaejoong sad.
“Hush now, princess. Don't cry. I know how you feel right now. I'm crying too, here in my heart.” Jaejoong put her hand to his chest where his heart was and that made Anne stopped crying. She knew Jaejoong also felt burden to part with her like that but they had to do it. “Thanks, Jae. For everything.” Anne gave a quick kiss on his lips but then Jae swept her off her feet and kissed her passionately in front of the guys. Everyone were cheering for them and that made them blushed.
“Kimi, take good care of Mira and your Mama for us ,okay?” Lee Teuk hugged Kimi tightly.
“ Of course I will, Uncle Lee Teuk. Don't worry so much. I'm a big boy now, remember? Uncles, thank you for taking care of us while we were here.” Kimi smiled excitedly and bowed to show gratitude. As Anne was pushing Mira's wheelchair, she turned around one last time and waved goodbyes to the guys, both Dong Bang Shin Ki and Super Junior. 'I'll be back.' She said to herself silently.
The flight took them only a few hours to Tokyo. When they arrived, Hyung Joon was waiting for them smiling happily. “Ah..I see you and the kids had a great holiday there, am I right?” “ You can say that again, Hyung Joon. I even met someone special and we're deeply in love with each other. Thank you so much for letting me stay at your apartment.” Anne told him and quickly hugged him. “Yeah, sure. The pleasure is mine.” He replied smiling. A while later, they were back at her apartment. 'Ah..home sweet home.' Anne said silently as she entered her apartment with Hyung Joon and her kids. “ I think I'll be leaving now. So, I see you in class okay?” Hyung Joon walked to the door after carrying their bags. “Okay, I'll see you in class. Thanks again, Hyung Joon.” She smiled as she led him to the door. He disappeared into the elevator with a smile on his face. Seeing her happy face made him happy too.
When Jaejoong arrived at the studio, the others were waiting for him. “What took you so long Jaejoongie? Where were you last night anyway? You didn't even tell us. We were worried about you.” Junsu started questioning him. Jaejoong just smiled and told them about his sleepover at Anne's place. They were listening tentively, even Yuchun who was about to doze off woke up to hear the story. “There you go, I've told everything there is to know about. I think that explains everything. Case close right?” Everyone agreed with him and they started their warm-ups and practices throughout the whole day.
Meanwhile back at Anne's place, the usual things happened. She cooked lunch and dinner for her children. Jaejoong sent her cute messages all day long and it made her blushed after reading them. 'Hi there my princess...Missing u already..Love J.' 'It's me again...What are the kids doing? I can't wait to see them..Especially their beautiful mom..Love, J.' 'Hi my love...I'm missing u with every breathe I take and with all my heart, mind and soul..Love, J.' Lee Teuk also called her and told her that they were pretty busy that day. “Don't worry, Lee Teuk. I really understand. Don't worry about us okay? You just concentrate on your practices with the guys. I'll talk to you later. Bye.” She ended her conversation and played with the kids until it was their bedtime.
After putting them to sleep, she continued watching t.v. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She was startled and rushed to the door. “Who is it?” She asked firmly. “It's me, Heechul. Please open the door, I won't bite you.” Heechul joked. She knew it was Heechul and she let him into the apartment. “Where are the others? Are they back yet?” She asked formally so that she doesn't sound like she was asking about Lee Teuk. “ Well, they still have a game show to record but mine finished early so here I am. Did you miss me?” Heechul said cheerfully as they sat down on the couch. “ Yeah, I missed all of the guys, Heechul. Including you of course.” She answered and went into the kitchen to make a mug of hot chocolate for him. “ Anne, there's something I'd be longing to give you but I haven't have the time. Now, I want to give it to you. But you need to close your eyes first. No peaking.” He quickly took out from his pocket a platinum bracelet with a tangling initial H and a carved heart shaped clinging onto the bracelet. Once he put on the bracelet to her right hand, he kissed her hand lightly.
Anne opened her eyes to see the present.“It's so beautiful, Heechul-sshi. I really love it, thanks.” She smiled and gave him a kiss on his cheek. They talked until it was already 12a.m. “Oh, look at the time. I'd better be going now. So, I'll see you tomorrow?” Heechul smiled and gave her a light kiss on her lips. “Okay, Heechul- sshi. Good night and sweet dreams.” Anne smiled and locked the door behind her. Her heart was still beating fast after the kiss. Was she in love with Heechul? She asked herself. But she doesn't has the answer to her question. All she could do was prayed to Allah to give her strength to accept what He had given her now, a new life with her children and loved ones.
It was already Saturday morning, one more day and its bon voyage Seoul. Anne woke up as usual, cooked breakfast and bathed the children. Afterwards, they sat together on the couch and watched t.v when someone knocked on the door. It was Lee Teuk and he was on his way to work but he decided to stop by at her apartment. “Good morning, beautiful. I just stop by to check on you and the kids. I'm so sorry about last night. I was so busy with our show and..I missed you so much.” He was making puppy eyed and that made her laughed. “Good morning, Lee Teuk. It's okay, I understand and I missed your puppy eyes. They are so adorable and cute.” She said and kissed his cheek. Lee Teuk smiled and said, “ Really? That's so sweet. Thanks for the compliment. How's the children by the way? I missed seeing them.” He went to check on the kids and said goodbyes to them because he had to go to work. “ I'll see you later, okay? Bye.” He smiled and kissed her cheek. Anne waited until he disappeared into the elevator and closed the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Jaejoong was already on his way to her apartment with a big bouquet of red roses. He didn't have any show so he decided to spend the whole day with Anne and the kids. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Anne was busy preparing lunch and told Kimi to get the door for her. “ Hey, big guy. How are you? Is your Mama home?” Jaejoong hugged Kimi and carried him inside. “Who is it baby?” Anne asked while washing the vegetables. There was no answer. It was weird because she thought she heard a man's voice talking to her son. Jaejoong quietly walked up behind her and hugged her from behind. It made her startled a bit but she didn't shout because she could smell Jaejoong's perfume around her. “Hi my princess.” He whispered and kissed the back of her neck lightly. That drove shivers to herself.
When she turned around, in front of her was a big bouquet of red roses wrapped neatly in a transparent wrapper. Behind the flowers was Jaejoong smiling brightly. “These are for you my dear. I hope you like them.” “It's beautiful Jaejoong. I really like them. Thanks.” Anne quickly put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips. He was the happiest guy in the world and that made him blushed. Anne smiled and said, “ Why the sudden surprise? I thought you were working today.” “ Well, we did have a show later on but the producer called in sick so it was canceled. So, here I am.” He explained. “Where are the guys?” She asked while finishing her seafood stew with vegetables. “ They probably hang out at the apartment. I've checked on them already. Yunho said they want to relax and play games with Yoochun, Junsu and Changmin.” He explained some more as he seated at the counter kitchen watching her every move. She noticed him staring at her and she quickly walked up to him. “ May I know why you were staring at me just now?” “ Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I want to spend one whole day watching you and the kids. I hope you're not mad at me.” He explained while holding her hands and kissed them. “ No, Jaejoong. I'm not mad at all. I too want to spend times with you. I didn't think you really come today but you did. I was so surprised and happy at the same time, I didn't know how to express it..” Before she could end her sentence, Jaejoong pulled her close to his stool and started kissing her lips. Anne who were standing in front of him a bit surprise quickly put her arms around his neck and enjoyed their kiss.
Both of them blushed after the kiss. “ I uh, go and set up the table first. It's already lunch time.” Anne quickly set up the table and they had a nice long lunch together with the kids. “ Uncle Jae, I want to play PS3 with you.” Kimi exclaimed, as he jumped up and down happily. “Alright buddy, let's go!” Jaejoong hurried to the living room carrying Mira with him. Anne was so happy to see her children played with him. How she longed for that moment to come, she thought to herself. Awhile later, she joined them in the living room. It was already bath time and Anne got up from the couch and switched off the t.v. “Bath time dear. Come on, get going Kimi.” She ordered him. “But Mama, can Uncle Jae bathed with me? Please? Pretty please..” Kimi pleaded. “ If it's okay with Uncle Jaejoong?” Anne winked at Jaejoong. “Okay big guy. Let's take a bath. Come on.” Jaejoong quickly carried Kimi into the bathroom.
Afterwards, Anne bathed Mira and get ready for dinner. “ Anne, I want to bring you and the kids out for dinner. If it's okay with you? Don't worry, we'll eat at a Muslim restaurant.”Jaejoong smiled. “Okay Jaejoong, Kids, tonight we're having dinner outside with Uncle Jaejoong.” She said happily. She always wanted to go out with Jaejoong. It was a dream come true. A few hours later, they reached a restaurant just outside Seoul in Jaejoong's car. It was a Malay Muslim restaurant which served only Malaysian food. The owner had been living in Korea for 20 years and married a Korean woman. So, the food there were versatile and fusion. But still preserved the Malay taste so that the Koreans can taste Malaysian cuisines. “Ahh, Jaejoong. How are you? It's been a long time since you come here.” Mr. Daniel smiled when they came into the restaurant. “I'm fine, thanks sir. I've been busy with work. So are the rest.” Jaejoong answered. “And who might this beautiful lady be?” Mr. Daniel asked with anticipation. “This is my princess Anne and her children, Kimi and Mira. They're all Malaysian, you know.”Jaejoong answered smiling.
“Well, I'd better be going now. It's late already.” Jaejoong said as they walked out from her room. “Jae, could you stay here for the night? With me..please?” Anne asked while holding his arm. He was longing for her to say that magic word the whole day. He smiled back and quickly hugged her tight to his chest. “ I would love to accompany you my princess. I've been waiting for you to say that. I thought you'd never ask.” “ Really? You were waiting for me? That is so sweet of you, Jae.” Anne looked up at him and kissed his cheek. Then, Anne led him into her room where the kids were fast asleep on the bed. “ Are you sure you want me to sleep here? I mean I can sleep in the next room if you want me to.” Jaejoong asked her while she was making the bed for him next to where Kimi was sleeping and her bed was on the other side beside Mira. “ Yes, dear.I want you to sleep here with me and the kids.” She said as she pulled him to sit next to her on the bed. “ Is it okay with you?” “Yeah, I was a bit surprised at first and happy at the same time. You know that I love you, Anne.” He said as he kissed her lips passionately. Jaejoong moved to the other side of the bed while Anne slept beside Mira.
A minute had gone but he couldn't fall asleep so he decided to check on Anne. “Princess, are you asleep yet?” “No, not yet Jae. I can't sleep.” She whispered softly. “Come here and sit next to me.” He told her and Jaejoong hugged her as she leaned against him. “ How I wish that we could be together everyday, then we don't need to stay apart.” He whispered beside her right ear that gave her goosebumps. “But Jae..” Before she could answer him, he quickly started kissing her. Now, he couldn't hold his desire anymore. When he was trying to unbutton her pajamas, she grabbed his hand. That made him stopped immediately. “I'm so sorry, princess. I didn't mean to do it, I..” Jae tried to apologize to her but she smiled at him and said, “ It's okay dear, I guess we can't sleep together right? You know the rules?” Jaejoong got up with her and went into the next room where she already made the bed for him.
“Are you mad at me? I'm sorry for acting like that just now.” He apologized with a sad face and hugged her tight. “I'm not mad at you, Jae. You know the rules right? We talked about it before, if any of us started acting too much, we have to stop from anything bad happens to us. You know that I love you too but now isn't the right time. I just started to know you, Jae. I hope you understand.” Anne explained and looked up to him. He smiled and hugged her once more before both of them went to bed, separately. Both of them looked up at the ceiling while thinking what had happened earlier. Jaejoong knew that Anne was right about their relationship, he just smiled and fell asleep. So did Anne.
Next day, it was time for her to go back to Tokyo. She woke up as usual and made their breakfast, Western style, toast with egg and salad. Then, she went to see if Jaejoong's up already. When she entered the room, he was still sleeping soundly and wearing only boxers without any shirt on. She tiptoed near his bed and sat next to him on bed. 'He's so sexy and cute when he's asleep',she thought to herself. While she was trying to stroke his hair, suddenly Jaejoong opened his eyes and smiled at her. “Good morning my princess. Have a good night sleep last night? Where's my angels? They haven't wake up yet?” “Not yet, Jae. I just want to check on you. I already put your towel in the bathroom and ironed your clothes. They're in the closet.” Anne smiled and got up to leave but Jaejoong stopped her.
“Are you forgetting something?” he said pointing his index finger at his cheek. “Oh, I almost forgot. I have to check on the kids.” She just ignored him and went out from the room. That made him puzzled, 'What's wrong with her this morning?' , he asked himself. “Anne, did I say something wrong? You were trying to ignore me just now. Why? Tell me please or I won't let you go back to Tokyo.” He asked her during breakfast. Anne smiled and said, “ Nothing's wrong, Jae. Don't worry.” That made Jaejoong felt more curious and worried about her. He wanted to know what happened to her that morning but he had to find a chance to talk to her.
After breakfast, Jaejoong helped her at the kitchen while the kids were watching Anime. “Anne, are you okay?You seemed distracted somehow.” He asked while watching her finished her cleaning. “You know I'm here for you right? I can feel that you're not happy right now. I don't want you to feel unhappy because of me. Come on, tell me what happened?” “ If I tell you, I will cry so I don't want to tell you.” She looked away as they talked. “ Please don't pressure me, Jae.” Without hesitation, Jaejoong quickly hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, “ I know why you're doing this to me, Anne. Don't worry my princess, my heart is with you now no matter how far we are from each other. Please don't cry. If you don't want to see me at the airport, I won't come to see you off.” “I want to see you Jae so badly that it hurts me to part away from you like this.” Anne's tears were falling onto his arms as he hugged her tightly.
“ Don't cry Anne. It hurts me so much to see you cry. We'll see each other again. I'll come to Tokyo when I'm free. I promise you and the kids.” Jaejoong quickly turned her around and kissed her. They enjoyed every moment they have before it was time for Anne to leave. After breakfast, Jaejoong said goodbye to the kids as well as Anne. He didn't want anyone to find out that he spent the night at her house. Especially Lee Teuk and the guys. “Is it okay for me to leave? I could stay if you want.” He said as he walked to the door. “ No, I'm fine. Let's just keep it to ourselves first okay? And I want you and the guys to come and see me off tonight.” She put her arms around him and kissed him on his lips. Awhile later, he disappeared into the elevator. Then, a knock came at the door. She was about to called out his name when there stood Lee Teuk with a bouquet of red roses. “ Lee Teuk sshi, I'm so surprise! Come on in. Where are the guys?” She led him into the living room where the kids were sleeping soundly after breakfast. “ Ah, they're already asleep?” Lee Teuk whispered as they sat on the sofa. “Yup, just now. How did it go? I mean your show and all?” She smiled happily.
“ Well, it went well so far. I guess getting to know you made things a lot easier for me, Anne.” He smiled and kissed her hands. It made her blush straight away. “ Thanks, Lee Teuk. I never thought I made a difference in your life. I'm so happy that you feel that way about me. Actually, there's something I need to tell you before I leave.” Anne looked at him into the eyes and told about her true feelings about him and Jaejoong. Lee Teuk was a bit shock at first but later he just smiled and said, “ It's okay, Anne. I totally understand about the whole thing. Jaejoong is so lucky to have you in his life now.” “ Really, Lee Teuk? I'm so glad that you understand. We're still friends right? I don't want to loose you as a friend.” She hugged him tightly and gave him a kiss on his cheek. “ Yeah, sure we're friends. I don't want to loose you either Anne. You're such a dear friend to me.” He smiled happily as he watched her making some tea at the kitchen.
“Thanks, Anne. I'm going to miss your tea and your cooking.” Lee Teuk took a sip of his tea while sitting down next to her on the sofa. “ Really? I'm going to miss you and the guys also. You too are such a dear friends to me, all of you. Are they coming tonight to see me off?” She smiled. “ Yeah, all of us are going to come, don't worry. We won't miss it for the world.” He smiled back and they continued talking for a while before Lee Teuk said goodbye and headed home.
It was lunch time and Anne prepared meals for the kids. Suddenly, there's a knock at her door. “Who is it?” She said cheerfully as she opened the door. There stood Heechul in front of her with a bunch of red roses. He was smiling happily as he entered the house. “It's the one and only your Heechul. Aren't you happy to see me?” “ Of course I'm happy to see you Heechul. Let's have lunch first and then we talk okay?” Anne invited him for lunch and afterwards they sat cozily on the couch with the kids taking their nap in front of the television.
“ Okay, now. Where were we?” Anne smiled. “ Well, the reason I came to see you is I want to know about your decision and our relationship. I really want us to be together, I want to take care of you and the kids.” Heechul explained carefully. “ There's something I need to tell you but I'll answer your questions dear. I do like you Heechul sshi and care about you and the guys. But my decision is I think I'm more comfortable if we stay as friends. The reason is I have someone in my life now and you know him. I'm telling you now because I don't want to hurt you. I'm so sorry Heechul sshi.” She explained and tried to find a good sign from him. Then, he smiled. “ I think I know that lucky guy, it's either Teukie or Jaejoong right?” “ It's Jae. Lee Teuk also proposed to me. I'm so sorry dear.” She nervously explained the reason. “ It's okay, Anne. I noticed you were really close with both of them and I couldn't help it but hearing you and Jae were quarreling back when we were at the beach. I'm so sorry, Anne.” Heechul apologized.
“ It's okay, dear. I'm not mad or anything. I'm so glad to have friends like you and Lee Teuk. It's so nice to be here and making friends with you and the guys. I hope I can come again.” She smiled happily. Her thoughts were true all along. Both Lee Teuk and Heechul sshi understand her and cared about her. She could never has friends as true as them. Before he left, he kissed her forehead and hands. “ What was that for?” Anne asked smilingly. “ That was for being such a good friend to me. I'll be missing you, Anne. Bon voyage.” Heechul smiled. “ Thanks, Heechul sshi. I won't forget you and the guys. So, I'll see you later then.” She closed the door behind her with a relief. Everything was settled without a single heartbreak or blood. 'Now, to get the kids ready.' Anne thought to herself as she packed all her things and cleaned the apartment.
It was already 6:00PM, almost near to departure from the guys. Her flight will soon leave at 9:00PM. After dinner, there was a knock at her door. It was Jaejoong. He was smiling happily to see her. He gave her a kiss on her cheek. “Are you ready? The guys are all waiting downstairs at the car. Where's Lee Teuk and the guys?” He asked as he put Mira on her wheelchair and quickly carried her luggage and Kimi all together. Just then, both of them saw Lee Teuk and Heechul. “ Where are you two going with Mira and Kimi? Let us take care of the kids, okay? Meet you downstairs at the car.” Heechul winked at both of them as he and Lee Teuk took the kids. “ Meet you downstairs, Anne, Jae.” Lee Teuk smiled and left them inside the house all alone. “ I guess this is it. I don't want to leave you, Jae. I really...” Before she could say another word, Jaejoong quickly hugged her tightly to his chest as she could hear his heartbeat fast like a bullet train. “ Do you hear my heartbeat? It will only beats for you, Anne. Only you. Just don't forget. I love you, Anne.” He kissed her lips passionately. She could feel the warmth of his touch, his lips brushing hers.
Then, both of them went downstairs and met all of the guys. Anne rode with Jaejoong, Yunho, Changmin, Yuchun, Junsu, and the kids. While the rest were in Lee Teuk's car. Gimpo's airport took them about 45 minutes so they have to reach there by 8:00PM or Anne would be late to board the plane. When they reached the airport, there was still another 1 hour and a half to departure. All of them went for a drink at the cafe. “I would like to make a special toast to Anne and Jaejoongie for their new relationship as a couple.” Lee Teuk announced and smiled at them. That made both of them blushed. “We were going to announce it just now but thanks to Teukie hyung, he made our day. Thanks hyung. I hope our relationship will last forever.” Jaejoong said smiling at her. Anne knew how he felt for her and it really hurt to part from him.
Meanwhile Yuchun smiled slyly at Kibum whose listening to Jae's speeches. “Kibum, do you still remember about our bet? I'm waiting for my prize.” Yuchun whispered to Kibum without anyone noticed them. “Yeah, I remember alright. Afterwards we go get something to eat okay?” Kibum whispered back. “What's wrong with the two of you?” Junsu asked curiously.
“Nothing, Junsu. We're just playing around. Isn't that right Kibum?” Yuchun winked at Kibum giving him a signal to agree with him. “Yeah, that's right.” Kibum agreed.
' The flight to Tokyo will departure at 9:00 PM. All passengers are advice to board the plane, thank you.' The announcer spoke using the microphone. Anne finally got up from her seat, so were the rest. “So, I'll be seeing you guys, okay? Don't forget to call.” She said to her friends. “Of course, Anne. We won't forget.” Lee Teuk said on behalf of the guys. Anne hugged all of them one by one until it was Jaejoong's turn. She embraced him so tightly and tears started falling on her red cheek. She was crying her heart's out now and that made Jaejoong sad.
“Hush now, princess. Don't cry. I know how you feel right now. I'm crying too, here in my heart.” Jaejoong put her hand to his chest where his heart was and that made Anne stopped crying. She knew Jaejoong also felt burden to part with her like that but they had to do it. “Thanks, Jae. For everything.” Anne gave a quick kiss on his lips but then Jae swept her off her feet and kissed her passionately in front of the guys. Everyone were cheering for them and that made them blushed.
“Kimi, take good care of Mira and your Mama for us ,okay?” Lee Teuk hugged Kimi tightly.
“ Of course I will, Uncle Lee Teuk. Don't worry so much. I'm a big boy now, remember? Uncles, thank you for taking care of us while we were here.” Kimi smiled excitedly and bowed to show gratitude. As Anne was pushing Mira's wheelchair, she turned around one last time and waved goodbyes to the guys, both Dong Bang Shin Ki and Super Junior. 'I'll be back.' She said to herself silently.
The flight took them only a few hours to Tokyo. When they arrived, Hyung Joon was waiting for them smiling happily. “Ah..I see you and the kids had a great holiday there, am I right?” “ You can say that again, Hyung Joon. I even met someone special and we're deeply in love with each other. Thank you so much for letting me stay at your apartment.” Anne told him and quickly hugged him. “Yeah, sure. The pleasure is mine.” He replied smiling. A while later, they were back at her apartment. 'Ah..home sweet home.' Anne said silently as she entered her apartment with Hyung Joon and her kids. “ I think I'll be leaving now. So, I see you in class okay?” Hyung Joon walked to the door after carrying their bags. “Okay, I'll see you in class. Thanks again, Hyung Joon.” She smiled as she led him to the door. He disappeared into the elevator with a smile on his face. Seeing her happy face made him happy too.
