After what happened, byul kept thinking about it.
Byul was not the kind to go out and drink most especially if there's no occasion. She's been like that ever since. That's why when solar received a message from byul, she just said yes and asked her to come over.
she also asked hwasa to join them so that they're complete. Changsub's preparing the alcohol beverages for the three.
"Should i order food?" Changsub asked as he put the last set of beer on top of the table.
"No need, love. Thank you for helping. You can go sleep first." Solar said.
Changsub nodded his head, kissed solar's cheeks and headed upstairs to wash up and sleep.
"You really hit the jackpot with changsub." Hwasa said laughing.
Solar just smiled teasingly, she then stared at their friend byul who's been very quiet.
She's not speaking and had downed 5 cans of beer already and has her face all red.
"Jin," she let out a deep sigh. "He said he still loves me. He said he wants us back and he said he'll make it right this time." A tear slipped out of his eyes.
Solar and hwasa was attentive. They knew it. Byul is not the kind to go for drinks if there's no problem at all.
"What's your plan?"
"If you still love him then go, no one's stopping you here."
Hwasa and solar exchanged looks when byul suddenly bursted out in tears.
She's torn, really really torn.
She doesn't know what to do, he was greeted by the fact that jaejoong likes her and jin, his ex boyfriend and the father of his child, still loves her.
Byul's heart hurts literally and figuratively. She could feel that it's hurting and twisting all at the same time.
"I love Jin so much.. even if i don't have anything good to offer." She blurted out.
"How about jaejoong?" Hwasa asked.
"Should i be with him? Is that what you're saying?" Byul asked.
"You love Jin but Jaejoong wanted a chance." Solar repeated these words. "What will you do?"
A complete family.
Byul will be very happy with Jaejoong. He's the breath of fresh air. Her savior when he was drowning and was his support.
But being with Jaejoong will only make her happy, she's the only one happy.
Having Jin is different. It's a chance for a complete family, min-joo will have a complete family.
She's trying to search for the love that he has for jaejoong and not being able to find it hurts.
"It doesn't work like that, byul. You cannot be with someone you don't love." Hwasa said.
"Hopefully i can decide." She said with tears. Her friends hugged her tight assuring her that everything will be alright.
A week had passed and still byul doesn't know what to decide. She had been crying all day.
She's worried if what Jin thinks especially when she's not answering any of his calls and messages.
She thought that what she was feeling was all temporary. But she was wrong. It never once faded, never once faltered. Instead of it slowly fading it got even more stronger. She loves him.
"Mom, are you okay?" Min-joo asked.
The both of them are inside their room. The little kid is still sleeping next to Byul.
"Yes, son. Mom's okay." She then kissed his son's forehead. "Why?" She asked, her voice shaking.
Min-joo looked up to his mom. Observing her mom's expression.
"You cried mom, your eyes are red." He said, his lips tugging downwards.
She couldn't help but let out a small smile because of how attentive his son is.
She asked his son to sit across her in bed.
"Do you miss dad, min-joo?"
"Yes, but it's okay since we always talk over the phone." He said, shrugging his shoulders.
She loves his son so much. She cares for him more than she does for herself.
She can't believe that it's true, that once you have your child- your life is mot merely yours anymore. It's already correlated to your child's life.
"Min-joo.." brushing his hair. "Was it confusing? To go to dad's house and coning back here to our house?" She carefully asked.
"Why would it be confusing? His house is just in an exclusive location and our house is here."
Byul laughed, it's the first laugh she let out today.
"Hahaha yeah right, it's not too far?"
"Yeah, it's close to each other."
"Uhm, how about us not living together? Was that confusing?" She asked.
"Why would it be confusing? It's not confusing mom." His son says, with a reassuring smile.
"I just wish daddy's here so that you're not crying mom." He said hugging her mom so tight.
Indeed, min-joo is the little jin. His ball of sunshine, his rainbow after the rain.
Byul woke up early because of the sound of the doorbell. After getting the delivery, she looked at her phone and saw that Jaejoong was the one who sent it to them.
She didn't reply and has been avoiding answering messages from him.
Solar called after breakfast.
"Byul! What did i heard? You're not replying to jaejoong? He's been worried about you and he keeps on asking. I don't even know what to tell him." Solar mentioned
"I am so sorry, solar. Don't mind him" she said coldly while watching his son play with his toys.
"What do you mean don't mind him, he's worried."
"I just want to stop talking to him. As much as possible i don't want to see him yet." She said confused. Silence was heard from the other line.
"If i keep on seeing him, it's going to be unfair for him and Jin. It will also be unfair for Min-joo." She said worriedly.
"All i am saying is that don't be with someone you don't love. Guard your heart." Solar said knowing full well that byul is confused with what's happening.
She just focused on being with his son for the day. They cooked, played together and watched a show. She was comforted how his son is here with her.
