A/N: Hello! So I'm cheating a bit by merging these two prompts but I can't separate it in my mind so here we go! This is the last post for #SuitfitCupid and then I'll be working on the spin off of three of the prompts here. =)
---
Prompt: (Feb 19) "We're 65 and you ask 'When did I first know?' I always knew" (Black and White - Niall Horan); (Feb 20) "Some days you want to re-live it forever" (About Time)

"I think Appa is having an affair," Jin-Ae told her sister, Nari.
"What?!" Nari exclaimed. "That's impossible. He and Eomma are desperately in love after all these years!"
Jin-Ae frowned. "I know. But I've passed by his office for a couple of days now and have never been able to catch him. His secretary says his schedule is blocked off from 11am to 1pm, he leaves and then he comes back freshly showered."
"So, he could be at a gym. You know that he and Eomma still keep up their work outs," Nari said.
That was true. Their parents still looks much younger than their 65 years. Their mother often gets mistaken as their older sister that she purposely let some of her grey hair grow out. "I like being known as your mother!" Se-ri declared. Still, with that spattering of grey hairs, she still looked like she was only in her mid-forties.
With that decision, their father let his grey hairs out too. But, just like their mother, even with some wrinkles and the white hairs, he still looked like a dashing businessman who wasn't 50.
But the family had suffered bad news last year when the doctors found a suspicious lump on their mother's breast. The doctors took it out and they underwent treatments, which luckily healed her. She was going to have to be checked regularly but, for now at least, Eomma had a clean bill of health.
So, Jin-Ae could not believe that now that their mother was healed, they would be dealing with this from their father. They needed to solve this while it was early. "I found out where he is booked. Come on!"
Dragging her sister, they went to the hotel room and knocked loudly. "Appa! I know you're there!"
"Jin-Ae! Don't create a fuss!" Nari warned.
"He's having an affair! I will make a fuss!"
Jeong Hyeok opened the door. His hair was still messy, his shirt askew and his sweat pants still untied. "Jin-Ae? Nari? What are you doing here?"
Jin-Ae's eyes widened. "You are having an affair! Who is she? Who is she?" She pushed her way inside and headed for the bedroom, where a feminine voice was calling out,
"Hyeoky, who's --- Jin-Ae?" the woman pulled the sheets up her chest.
"Eomma?!" Jin-Ae called out surprised. Then, immediately turning her back. Seeing Nari behind her, she covered her sister's eyes.
Jeong Hyeok pulled the bedroom door close so that Se-ri could get a robe, then ushered their daughters to the living room of the suite. "Now, care to tell me what's going on?"
When Se-ri joined them, the girls were explaining the whole situation to them. "It was unusual for you so I investigated.... I didn't want you to hurt Eomma."
Jeong Hyeok and Se-ri's eyes softened. "Thank you, Sweetheart. But trust Appa. He will never hurt me," Se-ri assured. "Are you okay? I'm sure you were hurt, too, when you thought that of Appa."
"I'm so sorry, Appa," Jin-Ae said.
Jeong Hyeok hugged his daughters. "I forgive you. I hope you understand now that Eomma and I were just 'catching up'. Now, how about you order food for the four of us. Eomma and I will just fix up."
"What? But we were busy! I want..." Se-ri protested, giving Jeong Hyeok a look then whispered so only he could hear.
Clearing his throat, Jeong Hyeok looked at his daughters. "Can we have dinner instead?"
Jin-Ae and Nari nodded then quickly ran out. "Ewww! Ewww! Ewww!"

"Happy anniversary, Appa! Are you excited for the celebration?" Jin-Ae asked, hugging her father tightly.
Jeong Hyeok stared at his first daughter fondly. Patting her cheek before fixing his tie, he nodded. "Yes. I can't wait for this to be done because I can't believe you kept me away from your Mother for a night. I had the most horrible time sleeping."
Jin-Ae rolled her eyes. "Eomma said the same thing."
Her parents were acting like it was their first time being in love and making love! After that whole fiasco at the hotel room, Jin-Ae and Nari had numerous run ins.
One dinner, their parents arrived late, freshly showered and flushed and were giving each other secret smiles the entire time. On another surprise visit, only their father met them first because their mother still had to make herself presentable. When she finally appeared, she had numerous love bites, some of them visible through her turtle neck.
There was even a time the kitchen almost burned because the two had ended up kissing rather passionately while cooking.
"Is Nari with her? Don't forget to give Eomma her medication," Jeong Hyeok reminded.
"Yes, Appa. Are you ready? Let's go."
As they headed to the venue, Jin-Ae turned to her father, still devastatingly handsome. "Appa?"
"Hmmm?"
"When did you know that Eomma was the one for you?"
Jeong Hyeok smiled. Staring at the bright blue sky, he replied, "I always knew. She's a spectacular human being and it was just impossible for me to think otherwise. I just hoped that she felt the same about me, too."
"Just so you know, Eomma looks so beautiful," Jin-Ae informed him.
"I never doubted that. She always was the prettiest in any room she was in and nothing has changed."

Jeong Hyeok and Se-ri were danced during the dinner in their honor.
"30 years, my Love. Can you believe it?" Se-ri whispered to him, while smiling up at him with those crescent eyes that still made his heart flutter.
"I never doubted it," Jeong Hyeok said. "I was just hoping you don't realize how you're getting the short end of the stick."
Se-ri pinched her husband cheeks. "You're the cutest." She examined the room, taking in their two daughters, one son-in-law, one grandson, and numerous friends around. "Look at everyone. We built this life."
"I know. Are you happy, Se-ri?"
"Very. You?"
"Words cannot describe how happy I am," he said. "If you were to re-live one moment in our life, what would it be?"
Se-ri though about it. "I think it would be that moment we decided to be together no matter what. It's wonderful to be loved like that and I'm so happy it's with you. How about you?"
"It would be that moment I met you. Because every minute after has been my best life," Jeong Hyeok said.
"Thank you for this life, Hyeoky. I thank my lucky stars for giving me a good person like you," Se-ri said.
"Thank you for being the best partner for me, Se-ri. I couldn't have done it without you," he returned. "I love so much."
"I love you, too," she said, kissing him softly. "Now, I believe the girls promised that we're going to have a honeymoon. I think I'd want to go now."
When they started kissing in the car that would take them to their honeymoon venue, they chuckled as they heard their daughters say, "Eww! Eww! Eww!"
THE END
