Marriage License (MYG.FF)[completed]

Part XXII

(YOONGI)

I parked the car at the side of the road, near the entrance of the resort. It took me a couple of minutes, hesitating before I went out of the car. I asked the receptionist about Eun Ae. She told me that Eun Ae was walking along side of the beach so, I went to find her. But I was not expecting what I saw.

There on the side of the beach was Eun Ae, looking down at her baby bump. My legs couldn't move from the spot. I was shocked and at the same time, hurt.

Who is the father of that child? Is it you, Hoseok? My mind was in disarray. But looking at Eun Ae's loving face while caressing her stomach convinced me that I loved her no matter what. I'm willing to accept anything just to be with her and so, I silently approached her.

“Eun Ae”, was the only word that came out of my mouth.

(EUN AE)

“I love you, my darling child”. I always say those words to my growing tummy. I looked up at the horizon and closed my eyes. Every sound of the waves and every whistle of the wind help me forget the one whom my heart was longing for.

I will always be grateful for Hoseok. He never left my side and even helped me explain everything to my parents. Of course, we left the part where I left my husband. They only know that he was abroad working with the other members. Hoseok also convinced them to stay with me in his resort until I give birth.

If only I could give my heart to him. If only he was the one that I fell in love with. My life would be much easier and happier.

I was so engrossed on my own thoughts that I was startled when I heard a voice. A voice that I wanted to forget.

“Eun Ae”.

Yoongi was in front of me. Surprise was may initial reaction. How did he found me? I want to run away from him. I want to forget his face. I just want to disappear from his sight

“What are you doing here?” I said with irritation.

“I came to take you home”.

“What for?”

“Because you're my wife.”

I sarcastically laughed at his words. “Wife? Are you sure about that? The last time I checked you didn't treat me like one”.

“Eun Ae, please. I don't care who is the father of that child. I will accept him as my own. Just come home with me.”

I was so bewildered and furious at him for thinking that this is someone else's child.

“What, Yoongi? It's so easy for you to say those words. Do you think I'm so stupid to go home with you? Did you even care what I felt then? Those times you ignore me, those times that I was always alone”. I couldn't suppress my anger anymore.

“Go back to Seoul, Yoongi because I want to forget you” turned my back at him and started to walk away. I was trying to hold back my tears when I felt him wrapped his arms around me.

“I'm so sorry, Eun Ae for causing you so much pain. I'm sorry for being insensitive. I'm sorry for not being there for you and I'm sorry for everything. If I could turn back time, I will change all of it, just so you would remain by my side”, his voice was miserable.

Sun Hee told me on the phone that Yoongi was drunk every single day, ever since I left him. He would bother my bestfriend every night, just asking for me. She told me how pathetic he was.

“Please give me another chance, Eun Ae”, I felt his warm tears on my neck.

My strong heart once again melted. Everyday, I would convince myself not to go back to Seoul, not to go back to his embrace. But now, hearing him suffer like this makes me want to tell him how hard I tried to forget him but my foolish and stubborn heart wouldn't permit it.
