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.
