Chapter 25

Two years later

"place the flowers over there, thank you"

Ga Eul looked around and smiled at what she saw, the whole house looked just the way she wanted it to be.

"ma'am, here is your glass of the juice" one of the maids said as she handed Ga Eul a glass.

"oh, thank you Min ah. Wait a sec, you aren't dressed yet? Come on, you need to go get ready" Ga eul said as she looked at the girl who was still dressed in her maid's uniform

The girl nodded and skipped off happily to meet with two other maids.

As they left, she could make out some of their conversation which just left her smiling.

"ma'am is so cool"

"I know, what boss tells the maids to dress up like guests? She is the best"

"yes, she totally is. Anyway, what are you wearing for the party?"

"why should I tell you, you tell me yours first"

"no, you say yours first"

Ga eul just shook her head with the smile still on her face. She heard her phone ring just then and she lit up on seeing the name on the screen

"yes dad, how are you?"

"oh, my dear, I am just fine. I am sorry I can't make it today" he said on the other side of the line

"no dad, it's no biggie. At least, it won't be as long as you have a nice time with Claudia" she said with a mischievous smile

"you silly girl" he replied before laughing

"don't tease me too much. We are just getting to know each other" he added

"really? Because you really seem to like her dad. Come on, don't be shy about it. You both are together, right?" she said and she could feel her dad blush from the other line

"I can't hide anything from you. Yes, we are together" he said and she laughed and said

"yay, at last. I bet with Yi Jung that you both would get together before three months, but he said six months. Yes, I beat him, I feel so good. Oh, and yes, I feel so happy for you dad. Claudia is a great woman, she is really nice and caring. But tell her, she would still have to face my assessment, ok?"

She heard her dad laugh as he said "yes ma'am" and she laughed alongside him.

"ok dad, take care of yourself"

"yes baby, you take care of my granddaughter, ok?"

"oh, so you only care about your granddaughter, right? I mean nothing to you anymore, right?" she said in mock annoyance

"well something like that" her dad replied and she knew he had a sly smile on his face at the moment

"dad!" she exclaimed and he laughed and said

"forgive me dear, take care of yourself"

She pretended to contemplate it before she said with a smile "ok dad, love you"

As she put down the phone, she looked around and was about to head upstairs when she heard someone say

"Ga eul-ah"

she turned around and the smile on her face could not get any wider.

"Fei!" she exclaimed

And the latter just laughed and came to hug her

"woah, you have gotten a lot bigger" Fei said as she examined her stomach

"aish, don't tell me that. I feel horrible enough as it is. I feel so fat, I am like a bag of potatoes" Ga Eul said.

Fei just chuckled and said "stop being so dramatic Ga eul-ah, you still look great. Even better, you are practically glowing with motherly radiance"

"really?" Ga Eul asked

"seriously? The internet calls you the hot-mom and you are still asking that?"

Ga Eul chuckled and said "oh yeah, I felt like I could die of glee when I saw that"

Fei chuckled as well and said "but you really are something else. How were you able to do those crazy dance moves despite being pregnant? You know all my colleagues went crazy after watching that video you uploaded, not just them, the internet went crazy as well. Your followers o social media skyrocketed from 35 million to 50 million. Now every husband wants their wife to be like Eullie and every woman wants to be Eullie"

Ga Eul smiled as she listened to Fei. She knew all about how much her followers have increased and how people on the internet go crazy about her dancing and even her dress sense, but she didn't know they loved her that much. Well, maybe the fact that people ask for her autograph anywhere she goes should have been her first clue.

But she still tries to live the normal life. One time, she and Yi Jung went out disguised as old commoners, it was the craziest but most fun they ever did. The internet had nicknamed them the 'soeul couple' and they have become the nation's favorite.

Ga Eul thought it would end after their marriage and maybe netizens would grow bored and move on to a new couple, but their marriage just fanned the flames. Stories about their one true love and fairytale ending just took over the internet. The dance videos which Ga Eul usually upload on her social media, just made people love her more. They called her the 'Korean dance queen' and most recently, 'hot mom'

Well the whole 'hot mom' thing started with the fact that Ga eul hated those loose maternity gowns which made her feel like a thousand pounds. So, she settled for a sexier style. Sometimes, she even wears bum shorts and strapless tops. This impeccable fashion sense of hers made her a favorite among the masses. She also had a great international fanbase as well. So far, things were going great for her career-wise. Her job at the university was just so interesting, the students loved her and she knew most of the male students drooled over her which was why they never missed a single class.

Yi Jung had been scandalized when she told him and she just found it so funny that he could still worry about petty things such as those. He had come to her class the next day with the excuse of 'missing his wife and just wanting to check on her.' But he had stayed throughout the class just to give the innocent male students 'the eye' which made them gulp nervously and show far more interest in looking at their shoes than in even staring at Ga eul.

Ga eul returned her attention to Fei who was looking really beautiful in her blue dress. Fei now worked as a salesgirl in Shinhwa mall. A job which she secured thanks to Ga Eul who put in a good word for her to Jun Pyo. After the whole Jong Suk incident, they still managed to stay in touch and they got to know more about each other as well. Ga eul found that Fei had lost her first love at the hands of some underground organization. After Jong Suk's organization was disbanded, she had nothing else to rely on and she still needed to take care of her two younger siblings. So, Ga eul had volunteered to help her get a job, an action which was well appreciated by Fei.

"Unni" Ga Eul suddenly heard someone say and she smiled on seeing In Ha, Jun Ho's sister, dragging Jun Ho with her.

In Ha ran to hug her and Ga Eul smiled before saying "I am mad at you In Ha, you totally forgot about me"

"I am sorry unni, now that I am here, I promise to stay by your side until you get bored of me and ask me to leave"

Ga Eul just chuckled and said "ok, deal"

In Ha went on to greet Fei. Jun Ho approached Ga eul and handed her a gift bag before saying

"happy anniversary Ga Eul-ah"

She smiled and thanked him.

"oh my, I can't believe this. Happy anniversary Ga eul-ah. I got so carried away with what we were saying that I forgot to say the most important thing. I am so angry at myself right now" Fei said

Jun Ho chuckled and said "angry at yourself or at me? Aren't you angry that I beat you to wishing Ga Eul a happy anniversary?"

Fei chuckled as though he said the lamest thing in the world before saying "and why would I be? I am not as petty as you"

"are you saying I am petty?" Jun Ho retorted

"and what if I am?" Fei fired back. That was all it took for the duo to start bickering.

In Ha however just led Ga Eul away from the duo. When they were away, Ga Eul looked at In Ha and said

"Jun Ho and Fei? When did that happen?"

In Ha just chuckled and said "well, I have no idea" but when she saw that Ga Eul didn't buy it one bit, she raised her hands in mock surrender and said

"ok, maybe I did have a little to do with it. Fine, I had a lot to do with it but I mean you see them, they have something, I tell you Unni. And besides, I have never seen my brother so excited around someone. He really likes Fei unni, all I did was fan the flames a little"

Ga eul ruffled her hair with a smile and said "you little cupid. You did great, I was thinking of hooking them up as well but you did a much better job"

In Ha smiled as well before saying "oh, happy anniversary Unni or should I say hot mom"

"oh my, you too?" Ga eul said with a laugh

Yi Jung nodded at his secretary before getting in his car. He smiled as he saw a message on his phone from Jun Pyo which read

'I think Jan di and Jae Hee have taken over the house. Yi Jung-ah, I am thinking of running away'

Yi Jung shook his head at Jun Pyo's silliness. He looked at his wallpaper of himself and Ga Eul and he could not help but grin goofily.

Things had been going well for him as well. His arts exhibitions have been really successful and he has been able to expand the museum. His innovative ideas have helped to gather more investors. Now, the museum was stronger than ever. His list of awards was also rising and he had become a global star in the world of arts. Ga eul had also been super supportive and he was just so grateful for her. She really was his light.

She always came up with crazy activities for them to do. But sometimes, she could really make his life worse than Jun Pyo's. Like a few days ago, Ga eul had woken him up by 3 in the morning just to complain that she think she got fatter. The next three hours were spent with a crying Ga eul in front of her wardrobe.

Two days ago, she called him in a meeting just to ask him to come home so he could make her kimchi. For Christ sake, he had no idea how to make kimchi himself. It was a horrible experience for him that day, while Ga eul sat with her legs crossed in the sitting room, he slaved away in the kitchen with just google for help.

But still, being married to Ga eul was the best feeling on earth. They would have pillow fights and try out crazy things, he was insanely happy. As he pulled up into the mansion, he smiled as he saw the couple in front of him.

As he stepped out of his car, he heard Woo Bin say "yah Yi Jung, tell me, don't I look better than that Ji Chang Wook?" Woo Bin said with such a serious face that Yi Jung just really wanted to laugh. But the serious face of Woo Bin made him do otherwise. So, he asked

"why do you ask Woo Bin-ah? You sound crazy. Jae Kyung-ah how are you?"

Jae Kyung smiled and said "great Yi Jung-ah, happy anniversary"

Yi Jung smiled and said "thanks Jae Kyung-ah. Anyway, what's up with your husband?"

Jae Kyung chuckled and said "Woo Bin stop acting crazy already. He is like this because I mentioned I have a crush on Ji Chang wook"

"Oh, that guy. I don't know what you girls see in him. Even Ga eul thinks he is cute, he looks horrible if you ask me" Yi Jung said and Woo Bin quickly added

"yes! At last someone understands. You are right Yi Jung-ah. there is nothing special about him. And Ha Jae Kyung, is that guy your husband or me? Don't go around having crushes on random guys"

"hey Song woo Bin, don't tell me what to do, I would keep liking Ji Chang wook and that's that" she said before storming off

Yi Jung could not help but empathize with poor Woo Bin so he tapped his back and said

"it's ok man"

Woo Bin chuckled and said "rascal. Happy anniversary. But tell me, why do women always storm off first?"

"I know right?" Yi Jung added and they both seemed thoughtful for a few seconds before they laughed and headed inside.

Ga Eul was all dressed in her coral dress and she was about to call Yi Jung when she felt two strong arms wrap itself around her

"Yi Jung-ah" she said before turning around to see her husband's mischievous face

"oh my, my wife is looking so pretty that I want to keep her all to myself" he said with a smile

"yah, So Yi Jung. you better learn to start sharing because once our baby girl comes. I would have to manage the time I spend with you" she said with a sly smile

"tell me cookie, what do you mean by manage?" he said and Ga eul just wanted to laugh but she went on

"well, I would spend time with you babe, I promise. But maybe like 30 minutes in a day"

"what?" he asked, looking truly horrified and that did it

She burst out laughing and said "silly, I was just pulling your legs"

He finally understood what she did and an evil smirk found its way to his lips and he said huskily as he went closer to her

"so, you were teasing me dear wife. That isn't fair at all"

Ga eul chuckled and said "quit being so naughty already"

"but if we weren't naughty, our princess wouldn't be on the way, or would you my sweet baby?" he said as he rubbed her belly.

Ga Eul however kicked his leg which earned a cry of pain from him

"yah Yi Jung-ah, you can't say things like that in front of the bay" she said and Yi Jung just said

"and you need to stop being so aggressive in front of the baby. You are like a lioness" he whined

She looked at him and he did look like he was in pain so she asked "does it hurt?"

"no, it feels so good to get kicked by my wife whose legs are made of iron"

She chuckled and came to kiss his cheeks before saying "sorry cookie. Am I forgiven?"

She had started tracing kisses on his jawline as well and she knew his anger was long gone.

He smiled and said 'well_" and was about to swoop in for a kiss when they heard the sound of a little male voice say

"happy anniversary aunty Ga Eul and uncle Yi Jung. I love you"

They turned to find Jae Hee and Yi Jung smiled and swooped him in his arms while Ga Eul ruffled his hair and said

"thank you, my little pumpkin"

Jae Hee gave a proud smile as he said "I left mum and dad to come look for you both so I could say 'happy anniversary.' Did I do good?"

"no, you did great" Yi Jung said and the kid laughed

"now my Jae Hee, let's go downstairs so I can see how much damage you have caused to your dad" Yi Jung said as he carried the little boy down.

Ga Eul smiled as she watched them go. They all loved Jae Hee, he was such a sweet kid, though he was a handful. He always causes some mischief but his cuteness makes up for it. Jin Hee, the daughter of Ji Hoo and So eun was also so cute. Ga Eul had told Yi Jung that she wants their daughter to be as pretty as Jin Hee who looked like a life-size doll.

She heard her phone ring again and she excitedly hit the answer button.

She held the phone to her face as it was a video call and she smiled brightly as she saw the person on the screen

"Miranda"

Miranda laughed and said "hey hot mom, happy anniversary" and Ga Eul chuckled

"thanks Miranda. But where is Geun Suk, isn't he there with you? He told me we had something important to discuss" Ga Eul said and Miranda laughed

"well, he is off with Jason. They told me they are going for a bro-time out. I guess I am the odd one" Miranda said with a smile and Ga Eul laughed

"oh, Jason. I see you both are getting close, you get what I mean" Ga Eul said with a teasing smile and Miranda said

"I knew you would say that. But he is really nice, he has been helpful in taking care of my Geun Suk and he is hot though"

Ga Eul oohed at Miranda's statement and the latter just blushed before saying

"please don't ooh Ga Eul-ah. I feel embarrassed enough already"

"but why? It's nothing wrong, and besides its even a good thing. He totally likes you and you like him too. The guy has been asking you out like since forever, come on, just accept him already" Ga eul said and Miranda smiled and said

"are you sure?"

Ga Eul chuckled and said "totally Miranda"

Miranda nodded and said "I think you are right. It's time I start giving other men a chance after Jong Suk"

Ga Eul nodded and smiled. She was just so happy that the light was finally shining on Miranda. She had focused on her job and taking care of her son, but Ga Eul was happy, that she was finally willing to let love in.

They spoke for a few more minutes before the call ended and Ga Eul headed downstairs for her anniversary party.

She and Yi Jung had decided to throw a house party for their family and friends.

She was surprised to see the large number of guests that had arrived. She greeted the guests with a smile.

"hey you" she heard someone say

"So eun-ah" she said as she hugged her friend

"nice arrangements Ga Eul-ah. This party is awesome" So Eun commented and Ga Eul nodded with a smile

"where is Jin Hee? She asked

So Eun smiled and said "oh Jae Hee took her away to go play. And to be honest, I am super excited, Jin Hee has gotten to this stage that she just keeps asking questions. Sometimes, I feel like going crazy with all the questions she asks"

Ga eul laughed as she listened to her friend. She could only imagine how that felt like. She heard kids ask lots of questions.

"hey lovelies" Jae Kyung greeted as she joined them

"Jae Kyung-ah, you look great" Ga Eul commented

"it's the post honeymoon glow that's radiating all over her" So eun teased and Jae Kyung blushed before saying "So Eun-ah, you are such a naughty mom"

And they all laughed.

"hey girls" Jan di greeted as she joined them

"wait a sec, what got you all laughing so much?" she asked

"well we were just saying that So Eun is such a naughty mum. But I guess not as naughty as you, I mean you are the one expecting baby number two" Jae Kyung said with a smile and Jan Di blushed before saying

"you girls are the worst"

"Jun Pyo was so scared when he found out" Jan Di added

"well do you blame him? When you were pregnant with Jae Hee, you chased him around with a bat. You were so violent then" So Eun said and they all laughed

"you are one to talk So Eun-ah, you were a lioness to poor Ji Hoo. You made him do odd jobs like braiding your hair at wee hours in the morning" Ga Eul said and they laughed more

"well, it was the hormones. What about you Ga Eul, Yi Jung told the guys how you made him make Kimchi" So Eun said and they all erupted into laughter

"well it really is the hormones" Ga Eul said with a smile and they all nodded.

"so how is being the number one hot mom of South Korea going?" Jan Di said with a smile and Ga Eul laughed and said

"you had to ask. Yesterday, I received a call from a prominent fashion house, they want to plan a new collection with me. it's a clothing line for expecting mothers and they want me to be the face of the new project"

"wow Ga Eul-ah, that's so cool" So eun commented and the others nodded.

"you really got it all girl" Jae Kyung added

"oh please Jae Kyung-ah, stop acting all humble. You know you are number 5 in Asia's most powerful women" Ga eul said and Jae Kyung just smiled and said

"well, what can I say" Jae Kyung said with a smile

"I don't think you should say anything because I think Jae Hee and Jin Hee are pulling Woo Bin's hair out strand by strand" So Eun said as she gestured toward Woo Bin who looked like he was under torture from the kids.

Jae Kyung chuckled and said "you are right. I have to go save my husband" she said before running off while the girls just laughed after her. Jae Hee really was a handful and when Jin Hee comes together with him, they were unstoppable.

"I am so happy the party turned out great" Ga Eul said with a smile

"yeah and it was all thanks to all the effort you put into it babe" Yi Jung responded as he kissed her forehead

Ga Eul smiled and flipped another page of their wedding album. They were currently seated on their bed while looking at their wedding photos. Ga Eul's eye caught something and she suddenly said

"oh my, they felt it before we did"

Yi Jung just stared at her confusedly before saying "who felt what?"

Ga Eul clapped her hands together and said excitedly "Jun Ho and Fei. Those two are just complete knuckleheads. Look at this, Jun Ho was definitely looking at Fei in this picture, and even she was trying to sneak a glance at him. That's what is called 'a connection.' You know In Ha and I were trying to matchmake them but I don't think our efforts would be needed at all. Once two people feel a connection, one way or another, they will find a way to come together"

Yi Jung smiled at her enthusiasm and he ruffled her hair before saying "I never knew my wife was a love therapist"

Ga eul chuckled and playfully hit his shoulder.

"you know your dad looks so handsome in this pic. Truth be told, he looked more like the groom on our wedding day" Yi Jung said and they both laughed

"you know, it's still surprises me that dad accepted you so easily. I thought he might make you go through a complete physical strength test but nothing?" Ga Eul commented

"so easily? I had to go visit your dad every month during the one year you were away in LA so I could start sowing seeds of acceptance in his heart. The first day was horrible. He scrutinized me like a hawk, I felt like a pea in his presence, I nearly ran out the door but hey, I was a man with a goal so I stayed. And look at the results its yielding today"

"you sound like someone giving a testimony at a church" Ga Eul said and he chuckled

"oh, you owe me a SNSD dance complete with the wig and bum short" Ga Eul said with a mischievous glint in her eye. Yi Jung knew that glint all too well and it was never good. His eyes widened as understanding seeped in and he said

"is your dad_"

"yes, he is dating Claudia now. I won so you have to do the SNSD dance on the dining table while I of course being the supportive wife that is am, take a video of you" Ga eu said with a laugh

Yi Jung looked at her and could not help but smile at her giddiness "no way, I won't do that. Never!" he said while crossing his arms like a child

Ga Eul chuckled and said "you have to, you told me I would dress like a hen if you won, and you also said no chickening out, so you have to do it. I knew you'd lose so I have already prepared your outfit, all you need to do is groove baby"

Yi Jung looked horrified and Ga eul just laughed the more. He smiled and said "you really make me do the weirdest things"

"but you know you'd do it right?" she replied and he smiled and nodded before saying

"I have no choice"

"Miranda called today, she said to say hi to you" Ga Eul said

"really, that's so nice of her" Yi Jung said

It was awkward for him to talk about Miranda in front of Ga Eul in the past but seeing how much Ga eul cared about Miranda made him change his mind. Besides, Ga eul wasn't feeling awkward with their whole situation. They never even talked about what happened between himself and Miranda in the past, it just became as though it never happened. Also, seeing Miranda with her son at his wedding and the way she treated him as a friend, helped to lessen the tense atmosphere between them.

"look at how cute Geun Suk is in this picture" Ga Eul commented as she looked at a picture she clicked with Geun suk at her wedding

"yes, he is really a good-looking kid" Yi Jung commented and Ga eul nodded

"I never expected that Miranda would come to our wedding. She totally surprised me, she even told me how she would be unable to come because she was not ready to return to Korea only for me to see her at the wedding. I can't forget how happy I felt then"

"yeah, I am sure even she can't. You hugged her so tight I think her blood circulation stopped" Yi Jung said with a teasing smile and Ga eul threw a pillow at him which made him chuckle. An action she soon mimicked

"Yi Jung-ah" she suddenly said more seriously this time

"yes, my lady" he responded and she laughed

"I am serious this time. Do you think we would be great parents? I mean my dad wasn't always the normal kind of dad and my mum, well I don't even remember what kind of mum she was, so would we be ok?"

Yi Jung seemed thoughtful for a few seconds before saying "no, we won't be"

"Yi Jung-ah" she said but he just smiled and continued

"we would still have pillow fights and maybe still make each other dress up as hens, we would still dance on the dining table and run around in the living room. We would make a mess of ourselves in the kitchen just trying to bake a cake, and we would bicker non-stop about silly things"

Ga Eul chuckled and he smiled as well before continuing "I don't know much about parenting as well. Even our friends aren't exactly the ideal role models, I mean Jun Pyo placed Jae Hee in the fridge so he could chill a bit when he was having the rash"

Ga Eul burst out laughing as she remembered the incident and Yi Jung joined in "Jan Di nearly killed him that day" Ga eul said between laughs

Yi Jung nodded through laughs as well.

"or when Ji Hoo slept off in Jin Hee's crib. That takes the crown" Ga Eul said and they laughed some more

"yeah but they still work things out. I mean they are still such awesome parents. We might not exactly turn out to be the best parents, but we would make it through. We won't do ok, we'd do great because we would be doing it together, as a team. So, we'd be alright, that much I know"

Ga Eul smiled and ruffled his hair

"when did my husband become such a genius"

He chuckled and pulled her closer to himself and said

"happy anniversary cookie. I love you"

"happy anniversary babe. I love you more"

He smiled and said "well… I know you love me but I definitely love you more"

"no, there is no way that's happening, I love you more" she responded

"what? Please, I definitely love you more and you know it" he retorted

"do you want to know my feelings more than I do? I know I am the one who loves the most"

And so they went on, and on and on.

A new chapter would soon begin in their lives, but they knew they'd make it through. Because they had each other and their love was all they needed to fight through life's hurdles. It might not be happy ever after for them, but they were determined to make every moment count, together.

THE END

a/n: woah, its finally over. So how was it? I personally enjoyed writing for you guys, it was really nice. I want to appreciate all the 4055 people who read my story, much love from my side.

I don't know if I should write another story now. I am actually really busy this period and during this season, my house will be very festive, like my house is always the life of the party. So, I don't know if I would have any me-time to help me write. So, I was thinking I could write my next story when I am sure I would have lots of free time and that would be next year. The reason I want to write my next story next year is that then, I would be free to complete the entire story like I did with this one, so I would be able to update regularly. But I could also start writing this year but I don't think I would update as regularly. If I am really serious about the story, I might update once a week or so. So, you guys should let me know what you think I should do. Should I write a story when I can post regularly around March-May next year, or should I rather write one now where I would post irregularly from this year? I would see what you guys think before I decide.
Also, thanks to those who faved and subscribed to my story, thanks a lot guys.
