Changes (1/1)

Seunghyun had a deep headache when he woke up.  He was still in his tie and suit from what he wore yesterday.  He saw that he had slept alone.  He loosened up his tie as he grunted at himself.  He just hated it when he did this.  He always thought that alcohol was an escape to his problems.  He looked at his watch and saw that it was already noon.  He stood up and went to the restroom to take a quick shower.  After he took a shower, he went downstairs to see that Yoona was quietly reading a book with a blanket on her lap.  It turned out that Yuri and the rest were still away from home.                “Did you sleep there?” Seunghyun asked.                “Yes, I did,” Yoona confirmed.                “Why didn’t you just sleep upstairs?” he issued.                “Sorry, I don’t sleep next to men who are drunk.  I have done it once and I’m not doing it again,” Yoona stated as she closed her book and stood up, “I’m going to go out with Jessica and Sunny in a few minutes.” A few minutes later…                “Why did he come home drunk?” Sunny asked as she sipped on her iced tea.                The three were enjoying their lunch in Sunny’s mansion garden.  She had recently got married to Taecyeon and moved into the new mansion.  Jessica and Sunny listened as Yoona told them about her relationship with Seunghyun.                “I don’t know.  He came home drunk and well, I didn’t want to even sleep next to him.  He’s not the same person when he’s drunk.  He’s more aggressive and hardheaded when he’s drunk and I just didn’t want to deal with that last night,” Yoona explained.                “He’s going through some problems for sure,” Jessica concluded.                Sunny nodded, “Yes, I bet he is.  Taecyeon would always drink whenever he had a problem because he didn’t want to confront it right away.”                “That’s not a good excuse though.  He knows that I hate it when he’s drunk.  Throughout my pregnancy, he drank alcohol, but not to the point of drunkenness because he knew that I would be angry at him.  It’s like he doesn’t really care anymore.  I think I should get divorced to him already,” Yoona suggested.                Yoona and Jessica had already told Sunny about the whole situation.  She told her that she got drunk and got knocked up, was in an arranged marriage, and everything:  the works.  Sunny was surprised at first because she thought that the two were really in love from the start.  They looked like a legit couple.                “He already lost Hara and his daughter.  I don’t think he would like losing you too, Yoona,” Jessica patted her shoulder.                Yoona was stuck; she just didn’t know if she should be in his life or not.  She thought that they needed time apart, but she knew that he did need her.  Without her, he would be lonely and depressed.  She sighed at her choices.                 “I think I know what I’m going to do,” Yoona announced as she stood up.  She was going to make him one happy man for the rest of the year she had with him.                Yoona got home around four in the evening.  She knew that Seunghyun was going to return home around five or six, so it gave her enough time to make some food for him.  For about an hour, she prepared and cooked a whole meal that she learned from Heechul.  She set up the dinner for two on the table and just waited for him to return home.  Five minutes after six, he got ho me.  He was kind of surprised to see that Yoona was there with a whole meal.                “Yoona, you’re here,” he was shocked.                “Yes, I am.  Why are you so surprised?  This is what a normal wife does for her husband.  Wives make dinner for their husbands when they return from work,” Yoona stated.                “I know that.  It’s just that our husband-wife relationship is a little different,” Seunghyun contradicted.                “Just stop being so skeptical and eat already,” Yoona ordered as Seunghyun obliged.                Seunghyun was so surprised by her actions.  After Seunghyun sat down on a chair across from hers, she stood up and poured some water into his cup.  Then, she started to serve him.  Seunghyun felt really comfortable with her that night.  He felt as if the conversations that they had together had meaning to it.  It was the first time that Seunghyun had told someone how his day went.                The dinner felt so short to Seunghyun.  It felt like five minutes when it was one hour.  Time flew by so quickly for him because he enjoyed it so much.  Yoona laughed at his jokes and he smiled throughout the dinner.  Seunghyun felt like it truly was how a marriage was supposed to be.  He then soon had to go to bed with Yoona by his side.  She even hugged him while she slept.  She smelled like flowers to him and he liked it.                The next morning, Yoona already had breakfast ready.  Seunghyun was still amazed of her actions.  The breakfast was delicious of course.  After breakfast, Yoona washed the dishes quickly and cleaned up the table.                “Get ready.  We’re going out today,” Yoona clapped her hands together.                “Where are we going?” he questioned.                “Let’s go on a date.  I feel like spending the whole day together.  I want to walk in the beach with you, I want to go to the movies with you, I want to eat lunch with you, and I want to go to Lotte World with you,” Yoona announced her plans.                Seunghyun agreed with no doubts or questions.  If Yoona was being this positive, he decided not to test it and to just accept it.  He never saw Yoona this happy or so sweet towards him.  He needed this in his life, and he just wanted to savor every single second.  Seunghyun drove a black BMW to the beach.  He didn’t dare touching his red Lamborghini.  It was the car that he used to race Yoona to the hospital and he didn’t go inside of it after that day.  The blood stains were still there and it was just an old, bad memory.                When they arrived at the beach, a few people recognized them.  Yoona was kind of surprised to hear that some people even requested to have her autograph.  She obliged with a smile.  She couldn’t do anything, but just nod with thankfulness as people gave their condolences about her unborn daughter.  The time came when Seunghyun and Yoona were actually walking on the shore together.  The air was breezy and fresh.  Seunghyun just looked down at the floor as he tried to slow down so that Yoona could keep up with his pace.  Yoona quickened up her pace as she smiled through her sunglasses.  She then grabbed his hand and held it to hers.  He was surprised and Yoona just giggled at his confusion.                “Why are you acting so weird?” she asked.                “You were never this—sweet towards me,” Seunghyun stated.                “There’s nothing weird about this.  We’re a married couple, and well this is what married couples do,” Yoona informed him.                After about three hours on the beach together, they both got hungry and at a restaurant next to the beach.  After they ate lunch, they went to the movies and watched the newest hit movie that was showing.  When the two arrived in the theater, they both heard a lot of whispering behind of them.  Yoona heard people whispering about how they were famous, how they look good together, what they were doing there, and that they looked so sweet together.  Yoona made Seunghyun gasp a bit as she grabbed his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders.                The couple then made it to Lotte World after their drive.  With Seunghyun’s contacts, he skipped the long line with Yoona and just entered the amusement park.  The two did so many things together.  They went from the small rides to the big rides.  The rode everything:  from the carousel to the biggest and fastest roller coaster.  When the two were finally tired they rested at a bench next to a high tree.  They had a perfect view of everything in the amusement park.  Because it was already night, the lights for the monuments were on and it was very bright.  Yoona was eating some pink cotton candy while Seunghyun ate a hotdog.                “Yoona, there’s something different about you,” Seunghyun stated.                Yoona smiled, “Yes, I did change.  It’s been ten months since I first met you.  Can you believe that our baby was supposed to be born last month?  Well, back to the subject of change, I would like to proudly say yes, I did change.  I grew a lot.”                “I know I messed up your life, and I’m very sorry,” Seunghyun lowered his head in shame.                “Don’t think of it in that way.  You didn’t mess my life up; you just spiced it up a bit.  I was so bored in living that perfect life.  You made me discover many things about life and my family, so thanks,” Yoona grinned.                Seunghyun sighed, “You’re way too nice to me.  Why are you like this to me?”                Yoona was silent for a bit.  She laughed to herself after she heard Seunghyun ask that question.  The answer was so obvious and well, it was just so obvious that everyone saw it.  Yoona’s brothers knew why, his siblings knew why, and all their friends knew why she was like that to him.                “I can’t believe you’re asking that question,” Yoona told him.                “Why?”                “When I was a child, I thought that the man was always in charge in the relationship.  I thought he was the one that was supposed to propose to the girl, he was the one that was supposed to make the first moves, and he’s the one that was supposed to show affection first.  From those three things, you only did one.  You proposed to me, but you proposed to me in such a way that it felt like an order more than a proposal,” Yoona explained.                “Oh, I’m sorry.  I’m just so used to telling everyone what to do.  You’re not like everyone.  You’re different and I didn’t realize it that time,” Seunghyun apologized.                “I’m doing all this—the making food for you, waiting for you to return to work, expecting you to go to my doctor appointments, caring for you when you’re sick, and staying here by your side when you have no one—I did all this because I’m in love with you,” Yoona whispered.                Seunghyun was taken aback from the whole statement.  He never knew that Yoona was in love with him.  He didn’t even think that Yoona loved him, but to have her in love with him made it even more intense.  Seunghyun nervously swallowed some saliva that had been watering in his mouth from the shock.  He saw Yoona laughing to herself.                “Yes, I am in love with you.    I know that I told you before that I loved you, but I’m telling you now that I’m in love with you.  This idiot is in love with a man that didn’t even see the signs,” Yoona chuckled.                “Yoona, I—,” Seunghyun was speechless.                Yoona blinked, “Don’t worry.  I’m not forcing you to love me.  I would rather die than have you do something that you’re forced to do.  I just wanted to tell you.  You know during my pregnancy, it really hurt thinking that the only reason why I was in love with you was because of the baby.  I really did think that all these feelings would subside if the baby wasn’t there, but when we lost the baby, it didn’t go away.  I was so mad at myself.  I’m such a fool.”                “You’re not a fool,” Seunghyun assured her.                “I was a fool.  I was a fool for falling in love with you.  I fell in love even though you told me that the marriage was only going to last a year.  I fell in love even though you were clearly in love with another woman!  I feel so stupid!  I was throwing myself at you, and it was like I was forcing myself to be someone else, but that made you ignore me even more.  I thought that you would love me too because I was carrying your child, but you didn’t.  You didn’t love me.  You don’t know how embarrassed I am right now.  You don’t know how stupid I feel,” Yoona started to cry.                Seunghyun then hugged her into a tight embrace.  He wanted to cry too, but he didn’t.  He had to be strong for once in his life.  He caressed the back of her head.                “You’re wrong,” he confirmed as Yoona showed her confusion, “If you’re a fool, I’m an even bigger fool.  Deep down, I knew that you were in love with me, but I was so into Hara that I ignored that thought.  I knew that you were a better woman than her, but I ignored that fact because I thought she would turn around.  You may have fallen in love with me quickly, but I fell in love with you gradually.  I think that because I fell in love with you little by little, I’m more into you than you are into me.  As of now, I would like to tell you that this is the hardest that I have ever fallen.  Choi Yoona, I want to stay with you.  I don’t want to get divorced.”                Yoona was shocked, but those words were like music to her ears.  She was so happy, but she didn’t know what to do.  She was so blissful that she was speechless.  Her tears quickly changed from tears of embarrassment and humiliation to tears of happiness and joy. ~~~~~~~~~~~A/N:  Yay!  Finally a chapter with a happy end! :)I was going to make this chapter so much longer, but I couldn’t.  Sorry, I have to go now.  I have like one hour to get ready to go ice skating with my friends.  I’ll see you guys in the next chapter (when my mom freaking puts the internet back).  Thanks for being a loyal reader! :)
