The Nemesis Chapter 5

[Good news to tell you. Meet me for lunch. – Ham BaekGu]

 

[What? You won lottery? XD How about the café at the corner of the street. – Jangoonim]

 

EunJung was waiting impatiently in the café. She ordered herself and Jangwoo two cups of their favorite coffee, hot caramel latte. She can’t wait to tell him the good news. EunJung waved excitedly when she saw him approaching the door.

 

‘Here, here!’ EunJung pulled Jangwoo’s arm to lead him to his seat.

 

‘So what’s the good news you are telling me?’ Jangwoo took a sip of the coffee she ordered.

 

‘Well it’s like this. Taecyeon is coming back.’ EunJung was smiling ear to ear when she mentioned his name. Taecyeon was the centre of attention during their schooling years. Almost all the girls in the school like him including EunJung. He immigrated to America after high school. No one made contact with him since except for EunJung through emails.

 

‘Ok Taecyeon?’ That playboy, Taecyeon?’ Jangwoo almost spill his coffee upon hearing his name. Jangwoo wasn’t very fond of Taecyeon. He doesn’t like how EunJung loses her rationality whenever he is around. ‘So he is back to Korea for good?’ he took another sip of the coffee.

 

‘Yea for good. But that’s not the point. The good news is he wants me to go out with him tomorrow. He wants me to show him around since he wasn’t familiar with anything here.’ She continued, ‘What should I wear tomorrow? A dress? Or a simple casual T? Will it be inappropriate? Or I should buy some clothes after work?’ EunJung can’t hide her excitement.

 

‘Just a comfortable one will do. What is there to be fussy about? It’s not even a date.’ Jangwoo felt annoyed at the over excited EunJung.

 

‘No no I think we shall go shopping after this.’ EunJung quickly gulped down the cooled coffee and signalled him to do the same.

 

*

 

‘How is this?’ EunJung took the dress and showed Jangwoo. He shook his head. This is too revealing.

 

EunJung went over to another rack of clothes and took out another one. ‘This?’ Jangwoo once again shook his head. It’s too short.

 

Jangwoo went to another section of clothing and pick one. ‘This would be the best choice.’ He gave a victory smile thinking that he chooses the most suitable clothes for her.

 

‘This one?’ EunJung scanned the clothes that Jangwoo chose. A long sleeved white shirt and a skinny jean. ‘This is nice?’ EunJung gave a doubtful look. ‘Of course. Look, these few days the weather has been pretty cold. It’s better to wear more. It looked simple and neat too. Taecyeon would definitely find you pretty.’ Jangwoo gave all kinds of reasons to let her agree on the clothing.

 

 

*

 

EunJung looked around nervously while waiting on the centre of the town park. She rearranges herself once again before he arrives. Little did she know there was a pair intense eyes staring at her from a big bush.

 

Few minutes later, a tall suave man walk towards her and nudged her. ‘You are Ham EunJung-ssi, right?’ The man voiced out.

 

Startled by the sudden nudge she turn around and literally rooted to the ground. The classmate that she adores years ago had become a perfect prince charming right before her eyes. Tall and well dark toned body with a killer smile.

 

‘O-oh, Tae-taecyeon-ssi am I right?’ She stammers as she speaks. She shyly pulled out her hands to shake hands with him.

 

‘Wow, you didn’t change a bit. Still as dorky as ever. EunJung-ah, just call me Taecyeon will do.’ He took her hands and shook lightly. ‘So, where are we going now?’

 

Re-composing herself once again, she finally speaks out, ‘Let me take you around Seoul area. It has changed a lot since you left. Do you drive?’

 

‘Of course, how am I considering myself a man if I don’t drive myself? I will go and get my car.’ EunJung gasped when she saw a yellow sports car stopped in front of her. Gentleman Taecyeon got down from the car to help her with the door.

 

When both of them got into Taecyeon’s car, a small white car was following closely behind without their knowledge.

 

‘So how are you all this time? ’ Taecyeon started the conversation.

 

‘Good. But not as good as you. Look at all this.’ EunJung was checking the interior of the car intensely. Jangwoo’s car came across her mind. ‘Not like that man.’

 

‘That man? Who? Your boyfriend?’ Taecyeon’s curiosity arises.

 

She quickly denies, ‘Oh, of course not. Don’t misunderstand. I’m saying Lee Jangwoo. You remember him?’

 

‘Lee Jangwoo?’ He paused for a moment. ‘Oh that Jangwoo, the one that used to like you...You guys are not together?’

 

EunJung almost choked on her saliva, ‘What? Like me? It’s impossible. We are enemies back then. How could he have liked me?’

 

‘Really? Then maybe I am wrong. Anyway it’s good that you are unattached. Because I am single too.’ He replied. ‘Haven’t you noticed? You are the only one I kept contact with after all these years.’

 

EunJung blushed by the sudden confession. Am I just being confessed by the man I have been admiring?

 

*

 

EunJung and Taecyeon got down in front of a restaurant for a late dinner. ‘I always come here with Jangwoo. The food here is really good and cheap.’ She took the lead and entered the restaurant.

 

‘Ahjumma, give me the same serving as before!’ EunJung shouted to the ladyboss.

 

‘Okay! Coming right up.’

 

The lady came and starts serving the food on the table. ‘Oh, you brought another person? I thought you came with your boyfriend again.’

 

‘Oh ahjumma you have misunderstood. The man that always comes with me is not my boyfriend. Just a normal friend.’ EunJung said while passing an awkward laugh.

 

‘You and Jangwoo must be really close. Even strangers misunderstood you. Are you sure you guys have nothing?’ He narrowed his eyes at her.

 

‘Believe me. We are clear as water. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Try the food here. It’s really delicious.’ She shoved the chopsticks into his hand.


*

 

‘I had a great time today. Thank you for your company.’ Taecyeon took out his hand in courtesy. EunJung shook politely and gave a warm smile. ‘Hope you have fun too.’

 

‘So can I meet you again another time? Taecyeon asked boldly. ‘I really like you. I hope we can go further than friends.’ EunJung just smiled shyly.

 

He balled his hand into a fist. What? Confessing after a day going out? OK TAECYEON I won’t let you have your way. He knew he was a byuntae to follow them the whole day like a paparazzi. He just doesn’t feel safe with the player around EunJung.

 

*

 

When EunJung got home, she dashed to her living room, putting away all the things and called Jangwoo immediately.

 

‘Hello?’ He answered without much emotion.

 

‘Yah, I have good news again! Taecyeon just confessed that he like me!’ She shouted across the room.

 

‘I know. So what?’ He can’t even hide his clear unhappy tone.

 

‘You knew about it already? How? Ah, anyway I’m so excited now. What am I supposed to do now? Accept or decline?’

 

He confessed to you right in front of my eyes. Of course I know. ‘What do you mean what to do? Just follow your heart. If your heart says yes, then go ahead.’ He could literally felt daggers piercing into his heart when he says those words.

 

‘Really? I should really think about it. By the way, what’s with your tone? You sound listless. Sick?’ EunJung placed the phone between her neck and head while getting a beer out of the fridge.

 

‘Listless? You must be joking. I just came back after meeting with YooJin.’ He told his lies smoothly. ‘Wait, are you drinking beer again? You always want to drink whenever there is an occasion.’

 

‘How did you know? Seriously I need to get away from you some time. You know me from the inside out. So…did you guys have good time together?’ EunJung closes the fridge.

 

‘Of course and I think we match made in heaven. We clicked together so quickly. I think we are progressing really well.’ Jangwoo lied through his teeth once again.

 

‘You guys are really going to date for real? Why didn’t I hear you mention this before? Good for you then…’ She was little upset when he was boasting about YooJin.

 

Afraid of exposing his lie, he quickly ended the conversation, ‘Ah, I got to go. YooJin is calling me again. Bye.’ He threw the phone towards the couch and heaved a deep sigh. I made so much lies…for what?

 

She was taken aback by his sudden coldness. He never do this before. She is always the one who end the call first not him.  What is wrong with him?

The Nemesis Chapter 4

Jangwoo organized the trip and invited few of their closed friends. He rented a 6 seater car and first he drove to EunJung’s house to fetch her. ‘So are we ready? Let’s go~~’ Jangwoo can’t wait to camp in the beautiful ocean and beach.

 

*

 

‘Let’s just take this place. We have the big tree to be the shade for us.’ Jangwoo put down all his belongings on the ground. ‘Wow we can even swim here!’ Jaemin exclaimed excitedly seeing the sparkling blue ocean and waves hitting the beach. ‘Jaemin-ah, do you have to be this excited?’ EunJung chuckled at Jaemin’s child like behavior.

 

YooJin took out her sunglasses and umbrella to hide from the scorching sun. She grumbled under her breath, why did I even agree to come here? ‘Are you okay, YooJin-ssi?’ Jangwoo noticed her frowning face. ‘Ooh, I’m alright. Just a little hot here.’ She pasted a plastic smile across her face. ‘Maybe you are not used to the heat here. Why don’t you stay in the shade? We will do the rest here.’ YooJin nodded and walk happily back to the shade.

 

Chet I am hot and tired too. Why doesn’t he ask me as well? EunJung can’t help with the thought while taking out the things to be set up. Although she loves to grumble, she is used to the sun after numerous times camping with Jangwoo.

 

Hours have passed and they finally finish setting up their camping site. EunJung sat down and starts fanning herself thanks to the hot summer with 35 degree Celsius. Suddenly her vision was blocked by a bottle of water.

 

‘For you,’ EunJung looked up and saw Jangwoo smiling earnestly while handing the drink that he had just drank. EunJung took it and gulp down the cooling water. ‘Thanks.’ She said simply and buried her head into her knees.

 

‘Why? Are you sick?’ Jangwoo hold EunJung’s back slightly and gave her a little shake. ‘Nothing, just the heat is giving me headaches.’ EunJung snuggled more into her knees. ‘Let’s go back into the car. I brought some painkiller to stop your headache. Let’s go.’ Jangwoo helped her up.

 

He helped her all the way to the car. When they got into his car, Jangwoo quickly took out some cloth to be soaked in cold water and also the pills to ease her throbbing head.

 

‘Here, put it on your forehead. It cools down your heaty brain.’ Jangwoo let out a small laugh. ‘You still have mood to joke? The headache is killing me.’ EunJung slightly beat his chest.

 

‘Okay okay I won’t joke anymore. Just sit here and rest well. I will call you again when it’s time for dinner.’ Jangwoo gave a last look to EunJung before going back to their campsite.

 

*

 

‘It’s time for dinner!’ Jaemin said eagerly. ‘Ah Jaemin-ah, stop acting like a child. Hurry up and put the meat on the grill.’ Jangwoo said while making the fire for their dinner and campfire. He went over to his car to wake the sleeping EunJung.

 

When he reached his car, he can’t help but to stand and watch her sleep; the sleeping look that turn off most of the guys - messy but attractivein his eyes. He slightly knocked on the window. ‘EunJung-ah, it’s time for dinner. Are you feeling better?’

 

‘Oh Jangwoo-ah, yea so much better. I will come out now.’ She arranges herself before getting down. Both of them walked back to the site to enjoy their dinner with the rest after the tired day.

 

*

 

‘Now let’s welcome our new friend, YooJin-ssi!’ Jangwoo being the host stood up and clapped his hand.

 

‘Hi everyone. Nice to meet you.’

 

‘What’s with the formality, now let’s start our game!’ EunJung exclaimed with a scheming smile.

 

‘Game? Sure! I love games. So what are we playing?’ YooJin, not realizing the ‘danger’ she is about to face innocently accepted the challenge.

 

‘Instead of game, we are going to do some hazing…’ EunJung smiled slyly thinking of the task she is giving her.

 

*

 

YooJin squats on the beach looking for seashells. What the hell I am doing here? Ham EunJung-ssi you will get it from me. While searching for the shells, she had to dig deep into the sand damaging her newly made manicure.

 

After half an hour on the beach, YooJin finally came back with seashells that EunJung requested. ‘Now let’s get to the next one. Dance with the bucket you are holding onto without any music on.’ EunJung covers her mouth laughing after saying her task.

 

YooJin being the youngest had to fulfil the task even though she is unwilling to do so. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to finish that embarrassing and awkward dance. Everyone was laughing at her.

 

Holding onto her laughter, EunJung was about to say her next task when she was being stopped by Jangwoo.

 

‘EunJung-ah, thats enough for now. Don’t make fun of her anymore.’ Jangwoo said in between his laugh.

 

YooJin ran back to her seat in embarrassment. She knew EunJung was making fun of her, but being the newcomer she can’t say anything.

 *

 

Jangwoo tossed around in his sleeping bag. He was awoken by Jaemin’s loud snoring. Thinking that the snoring won’t stop any soon, he got out from the tent to enjoy the cooling night at the beach. As he opens up the tent, he saw a slim figure sitting very near to the beach along with a few cans of beer.

 

‘Can’t sleep?’ Jangwoo slowly walked towards her trying not to startle her. ‘Just enjoying the night,’ EunJung took in a sip of beer. ‘On a night like this, you should have company,’ Jangwoo said as he took a seat besides EunJung, taking her beer and gulped it down.

 

‘You should be glad that I am in a good mood or else you are gonna get it for stealing my beer.’ EunJung said jokingly and rested her head on his shoulder.

 

‘Drink less would you? Getting drunk everytime.’ Jangwoo let out a smile seeing EunJung’s tired face.

 

‘How is YooJin-ssi?’ Jangwoo asked. ‘She seems to be a nice girl. I like her.’

 

‘Yah Lee Jangwoo, can you be a little more careful? Don’t be mesmerised by one’s outer appearance. She is just okay to me.’ EunJung commented.

 

‘When did I value people from their physical appearance? If I really do, I wouldn’t be friends with you at all.’ He joked.

 

‘Isshh...this person. Yea yea I am that bad that’s why I can’t get a good boyfriend.’ She retorted.

 

‘Yah, chill up would you? I’m just joking. You are the best. Just that people don’t appreciate you.’

 

‘Do you think I can find someone as understanding as you? Is that even possible?’ EunJung said slowly and looked up the dark sky decorated with little stars.

 

‘Why would you say that? I’m sure you can find your Mr. Right very soon.’ Jangwoo slightly pat EunJung’s shoulder. ‘A man that can bring you happiness and take away your worries. Most importantly, the man that I trusted enough to take care of you.’

 

‘Really?’ EunJung murmured. Sleeping beauty EunJung can’t resist the comfortable and warm shoulder she is lying on. ‘You sleepy head.’ Jangwoo chuckled. Afraid of waking up EunJung who have been helping out the whole day, he decided to stay in the position until she wakes up. Slowly he put on his jacket that he has been holding onto on EunJung. He too drifted to sleep, lying on EunJung’s head.

 

*

 

‘What are you two doing here?’ YooJin spot the two lying on the beach with EunJung on Jangwoo’s arm.

 

Awoken by the noise, EunJung open her slightly and look to the surrounding. ‘What time is it?’ She got up and rubbed her eyes a few times, yawning loudly. ‘Is it time for breakfast already?’ EunJung turned around and saw Jangwoo sleeping on the sand. ‘Yah, Lee Jangwoo get up. People are looking at us already.’ She shook his arm to wake him up.

 

Now being more clear-headed, EunJung said, ‘I’m sorry YooJin-ssi. We are always like this. Please don’t mind us.’

 

‘Oh of course I won’t mind. I am just afraid that Jangwoo-ssi might catch a cold being out here all night.’ 

 

‘Its morning already? How long have we been on the beach?’ Jangwoo slightly awaken while blocking the sunlight from his eyes. ‘Jangwoo-ssi, get up now. I have prepared the breakfast.’ YooJin smiled sweetly while helping him up.

 

*

 

‘Jangwoo-ssi, can you help me with this?’ YooJin is having a hard time with the lifejacket. ‘Sure I will help you.’ He walked over to her and clips the buckle for her.

 

 She even needs help doing this? ‘Jangwoo-ah let’s hurry up and get on the banana boat’ EunJung interrupts the two.

 

After the exciting ride, everyone sat down on the beach to have a rest. ‘Ahh, I don’t feel well. I think I am throwing up.’ Jaemin holds his spinning head and lie down on the sand. ‘Jaemin-ah, be a man would you? Don’t whine like a girl.’ Jangwoo shook his head seeing Jaemin’s child act.

 

Jangwoo turned to YooJin, ‘Are you having fun here? I hope we don’t bored you out.’

 

‘Of course not. I had a great time here.’ YooJin said with a smile. Everything was good except for the damn hazing time.

 

‘Let’s pack up. The sun is setting. It’s a new week tomorrow. Time to get back to the boring working days.’ Jangwoo said.

 

After this let’s see if she dares to join us in anymore – EunJung

 

Ham EunJung just wait and see. I will definitely win over Jangwoo-ssi from you - YooJin

[ONESHOT] Valentine's Answer

EunJung flipped through her phone gallery and let out a smile as she sees all the photos they have taken in the past few months. True enough, their relationship has sure taken to another level.

 

*A night before…

 

When she was drying her hair in her room, her phone rings and a message came in.

 

[Gong-ju-nim, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ^^ From: Janggoonim]

 

EunJung smiled looking at the content and start typing away.

 

[What? That’s all? Nothing else for me? From: Ham EunJung]

 

[EunJung-ah, I’m sorry but I am in the midst of a photoshoot. I’m busy. From: Jangoonim]

 

EunJung pouted at the last message and lazily typed in response in disappointment.

 

Suddenly, the doorbell to their dorm rang. HwaYoung rushes to the intercom to see the sudden ‘night visitor’.

 

A young deliveryman greeted her with a smile. ‘I am looking for Ham EunJung-ssi.’

 

‘Unnie, you have got a delivery to sign.’ HwaYoung shouted. EunJung stood up from her bed and went towards the door.

 

She took the package without the sender’s name. She signed twice, one for the package acknowledgement, the other one for the delivery fanboy. After saying thank you, she closes the door while reading the form to see who the sender could be.

 

The other T-ara members start crowding around her to catch a glimpse of the content of the package. ‘Unnie, what are you waiting for? Let’s open it.’ Hyomin rushes her.

 

Slowly, EunJung opens up the mysterious package. To her surprise, what greeted her was 24 stalks of roses boxed in a transparent container along with a card, a box of chocolate and a white disc. Right away she knew who the sender was. The others screamed in excitement when they saw the content of the package.

 

‘EunJung-ah, you are so lucky. We have nothing on days like this,’ SoYeon commented jealously.

 

EunJung who was smiling from ear to ear can’t stop staring at the gifts. Carefully she picked up the card and reads the content.

 

 

 

“Dear Yeobong ^_^

 

          It’s been 10 months since our virtual marriage. Like I have said before, sorry if I have not been a romantic or attentive husband to you but always remember I am always on your side. Today the boxed 24 stalks of fake roses represents that you are always on the my mind. Each bloom represents the idea that a loved one is thought of during every hour of every day, and the I can't stop thinking about the you. I really like you and I promise I will like you until the last rose dies. This the first time I am giving you gifts on Valentine’s Day and I hope I will have more chance to do so in the future.

 

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY ^^

 

 

P.S: I know I have a Grade 9 handwriting skill but I still hope you can feel my sincerity. And…don’t think of me so much on this day :P

 

From: Jangoonim”

 

When EunJung finishes the letter, her tears were already accumulating. The others were too touched by the content of the letter. Even as outsider, they could feel the childish brother-in-law being sincere and serious this time. She moved her attention to something else. The CD. It even has a small note on it.

 

Play it when you are alone without other members ^^

 

EunJung turned around to look at others to get consent from them. ‘So…can I go to my room now?’

 

‘Yah, now that you have Jangoonim, you are deserting us? You can’t even share this with us?’ Q-ri said jokingly.

 

‘Unnie-deul…but isn’t that..that is what he requested? I can’t possibly ignore that right?’ EunJung tried again.

 

All of them burst into laughter seeing the stuttering EunJung. ‘Unnie, we are just joking with you. Go ahead and watch the CD alone,’ Hyomin said while holding her laughter.

 

Without hesitating she rushes to her room and locked it. She opens her laptop and makes herself comfortable on the bed and grabs the Rilakuma bear to hug with.

 

When the video starts playing, she burst into laughter. All she sees is Jangwoo’s self cam in his own room wearing a Rilakuma bear outfit. He goes knew the camera and whisper, ‘Yeobo now that you have seen the romantic side of me, it’s time for some fun! Make sure you are watching alone, I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of other sister in laws.

 

After saying the opening speech, he disappeared from the camera and come back the background music playing T-ara’s hit song ‘I Go Crazy Because Of You’. He then started off dancing in that outfit. EunJung laugh out loud throughout the dancing process as she sees Jangwoo trying very hard to catch with the steps and rhythm. When it ended, panting Jangwoo went to the camera and said cheekily, ‘How was it? I think Yeobo’s version is so much better and… sexier. Dance to me alone someday.’

 

‘Byuntae,’ she said softly as she heard his request.

 

He then took down the Rilakuma head and said, ‘EunJung-ah, did you know how long I took to learn this dance step? I even got lot of bruises..’ His voice trailed off. ‘So, how did you like this present? I’m sorry for not able to spend it with you in a better way but I still hope that you will like it. Sleep well and I love you.’ He ends the video by giving a loud smooch on the camera screen.

 

She didn’t stop smiling even though the video ended minutes ago. She picked her phone and dials the familiar number.

 

When the call gets through, EunJung said excitedly, ‘Oppa, thank you for your surprises! I really love it.’ Jangwoo literally ‘clean’ his ear after receiving the loud thank you from her. She then continued, ‘But then again, didn’t you say you have nothing for me? You lied to me.’ He quickly responded, ‘Isn’t that what events are supposed to be? Being secretive and all. But still you do like the presents right?  So in return what am I getting on this White Valentine’s Day? A kiss maybe?’

 

Hearing his ‘bold’ request, EunJung said jokingly, ‘You are not getting anything from me. Mehrong.’ She then ended the call and puts her phone away.

 

After few thoughts, she picks up the phone and starts to type in some words and send it directly.

 

[Oppa, I’m really really happy and touched to receive your present. Have a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY too. Molkang molkang ^^]

 

When Jangwoo received it,he was confused by the message.

 

Did she really like it?

 

*

 

EunJung smiled unknowingly to herself thinking back of the event yesterday. Day dreaming EunJung was then interrupted by JiYeon.

 

‘Unnie, are you really not gonna give brother in law any return gifts? It’s Valentine’s Day today!’ JiYeon asked.

 

‘Yah JiYeon-nie, don’t worry. I will know what to do.’ Eunjung said cheekily.

 

After awhile she decided to update her twitter with photos after almost a month disappearing.    

516845780

 

Before taking off from Paris. I said "I'm going to throw away my crutches!", the shots I took while pretending to be okay, pretending to be chic... but.... they won't leave my side now. It's as if they only know me......heoheoheo....

1bvxy

 

  It's been a place I've wanted to visit since I was 19, it's a pity... byeee, next time I'm going to go to every corner, every alley in Paris!

 

She told herself, ‘Hmm...I think this should be enough, as a return gift.’

 

Jaemin was surfing the net when he saw the update from EunJung. He quickly called Jangwoo and told him about the photos as he always would do.

 

 

Jangwoo finally got his ‘gifts’ as he had wished. To others it might just be a normal update but to him, it meant something else. All the insecurities and confusion he had before already disappear.

 

 

*THE END*

 

 

A/N: *Ring on the second finger meant ‘I’m in love’.

         *Until the last rose dies means he will like her forever because the fake roses will NEVER die (get it?)

 

The Nemesis Chapter 3

*Few months later…

 

Today is an important day for Jangwoo. He promised his mum to go for a simple dinner with her friend’s daughter later. However he wanted to get EunJung’s approval before he dates any woman.

 

Jangwoo decided to call EunJung to go along with him.

 

‘Hey EunJung-ah. Free later for a dinner?’

 

‘Why the sudden invitation? Of course I am fine with it. Where?’ EunJung was silently happy about the ‘date’.

 

‘Posh restaurant. I’ll come and pick you up later at 7.00pm. Bye.’

 

*

 

Jangwoo drove to her office and waited her in the car. Sharp at 7.00pm, a lady came out from the elevator and entered his car.

 

‘Wow you are so punctual on times like this.’ Jangwoo took EunJung’s briefcase and put it aside.

 

‘Of course, because someone is going to treat me nice food.’ EunJung settled down and about to buckle her seat belt.

 

‘Wait, I haven’t told you the whole thing yet. I have to fetch another person. So you have to…sit at the back.’

 

Surprised by his statement. ‘Another person? Who? Your mum? Are we eating together then?’ EunJung pulled away the buckle and got ready to sit behind.

 

‘Not my mum. It’s my matchmaking partner.’ Jangwoo said while checking her facial expression. It was clear that she was not okay with it. I better behave later.

 

‘Dating partner? You are dating again? Who? Do I know her? Is she pretty?’ EunJung can’t help to feel curious and weirdly unhappy at the idea.

 

‘You will see.’

 

*

 

When they reach that woman’s house, Jangwoo personally got down and open the door for her. EunJung mumbles to herself. Chet, he doesn’t even do this for me. Stupid bias Lee Jangwoo.

 

When the lady got in, EunJung was surprised. It was actually her coursemate, Kim YooJin.

 

‘Oh hello EunJung-ssi, you are here also?’ YooJin surprised at the presence of EunJung.

 

‘Oh hi. Wasn’t expecting you.’ EunJung greeted with an awkward hello.

 

*

 

During the whole journey, Jangwoo and YooJin starting to get to know each other, while EunJung were sitting lonely at the back. The fact that she is sitting at the back while some random girl occupying ‘her’ seat made her feel uneasy. Although she is used to seeing Jangwoo being with other woman, this time it’s different. She felt as though her ‘things’ are snatch away from her.

 

Upon reaching the restaurant, EunJung excused herself and went to the toilet. She stood in front of the mirror and gave herself a hard look.

 

‘Ham EunJung what are you thinking? Jangwoo is outside there with another girl. So what? Why are you even here talking to yourself?’

 

She turned on the tap and start splashing water to her face. She looked back into the mirror once again. Ham EunJung, get a hold of yourself. Don’t act all weird later. FIGHTING! After all the self-hypnotising, she checked herself out once again before joining them.

 

*

 

The waiter came and Jangwoo made the order. When EunJung wanted to order her food, Jangwoo stopped her and chose both their favourite food instead - steak.

 

EunJung was silently happy that Jangwoo did not neglect her despite a goddess ‘lightbulb’ interfering their so called dinner date. When the food was served, Jangwoo took away Eunjung’s culinary and her steak.

 

‘Yah, why are you taking my—‘

 

She stopped complaining when she saw Jangwoo started cutting the steak into bite pieces. ‘I know you’re bad at cutting...’ Jangwoo said with a smile.

 

After finished cutting them, he returned Eunjung’s plate and stuffs the fork into her hand. ‘Now you can eat them.’

 

Seeing the scene in right in front of her, YooJin quickly interrupted. ‘So how did you guys met? You two seem pretty close,’ She scoops a mouthful of pasta and put it on Jangwoo’s plate. ‘Here, try mine. It’s really delicious.’

 

Shocked by YooJin’s initiative action, EunJung explained cockily, ‘Ah, this man beside you has been following me for years. He can’t live without me. Practically he is my personal slave that oblige to everything I asked.’

 

‘Yah, why are you telling people all this?’ Jangwoo mouthed at EunJung and turn to YooJin awkwardly, ‘Ah YooJin-ssi please don’t mind her. She is always like this. Enjoy your food.’

 

 

‘Sure, I will. Especially together with Jangwoo-ssi and perfect ambience here. Too bad there is someone who spoils the mood.’ YooJin retorted back sarcastically, not losing out.

 

EunJung with her fear of losing out character starts to reminiscence with Jangwoo about their high school memories so that YooJin had nothing to share and interrupt them. Blockhead Jangwoo did not noticed the tension building up on the table and went with the flow.

 

‘Jangwoo-ah, do you still remember when we had our end of year camping trip? EunJung took a piece of the meat and shoved it to her mouth. ‘We had so much fun back then. Ah, I miss those times. Let’s have one this weekend. It’s time to have a gathering with our classmates too.’

 

‘Really? I am really itching to sleep in the tent. Getting stuck in office for weeks is bad for health. YooJin-ssi, do you want to join us too? It’s nice to have you around.’ Jangwoo invites bluntly without noticing the glare from the lady opposite him.

 

‘Sure, I would love to. I love camping too.’ YooJin agreed quickly despite being the clean-freak that hates anything tedious. She doesn’t want to lose to chance to know more about Jangwoo.

 

EunJung silently swallow her anger towards Jangwoo and speaks, ‘YooJin-ssi, be prepared for it. We always have special events for newcomers. Don’t retreat by that time.’

 

‘I would be looking forward to it.’

 

*

 

EunJung closes the front door slowly and sat down to the floor. For the whole dinner date she tried to shake off the uncomfortable feeling but to no avail. After some deep thoughts, she came to a conclusion.

 

No no no. It must be me that my life is lacking of men. It’s time for me to get to know someone too.

 

The Nemesis Chapter 2

Jangwoo was looking through his documents in his office when a text came in.

 

[Same old place tonight. – Ham BaekGu]

 

*

 

Jangwoo packed his belongings a bit before getting ready to meet with her as promised.

 

When he got to the foodstall, she is already drinking on her own. Few bottles of soju can be seen on the table. 

 

She seems to be really stress out. Jangwoo heaved a sigh and walked into the stall.

 

‘Why looking so troubled? Your love story met with mishap again?’ Jangwoo asked while getting a seat.

 

‘Still you know me the best…I...I have just broken up with SooHyun. He says we are not compatible…’ Her voice trailed off as she gulps down another cup of soju.

 

Jangwoo shook his head slightly. I think I am the only one in the world that tolerates you. No wonder you get ditched.

 

Trying to make her feel better, ‘Yah Ham Eunjung, it’s good that you leave him. I don’t like that ex-boyfriend of yours too. He always stares hard at me whenever he sees me around you.’

 

‘Really?? No wonder he used to complaint to me about you sticking around me… Ahh, anyway it’s not important anymore… I still have my…best friend here…’ EunJung pat Jangwoo’s back hard as she falls on the table, drunk.

 

‘EunJung-ah, EunJung-ah, are you alright? Can you hear me?’ Jangwoo shook EunJung slightly trying to wake her up.

 

‘Oh, my best friend is here... Now I demand you to bring me home…’ Drunk EunJung said her piece and falls back to the table again.

 

Seriously this woman needs to stop drinking. It’s just my luck for me to be her best friend.

 

*

 

EunJung got up feeling heavy headed. As she sat up on her bed, she turned to her side and saw it was already half past ten in the morning. She was massaging her throbbing head when suddenly she saw a note on the bed table.

 

For goodness sake, you weigh a ton. Lose your fat someday.

Or else you are going home yourself next time.

 

EunJung rolled her eyes when she saw the note. ‘Lee Jangwoo, you are so dead.’

 

*

 

Jangwoo who was making breakfast, sneezes suddenly. Only one thought came across his mind.

 

That pig must have woken up and talked behind my back.

 

He walks towards her room and gave a slight knock. ‘Clear your head enough to talk bad about me? Faster get up you lazy bum. Breakfast is ready.’

 

EunJung got up from bed feeling confused hearing his voice, ‘You didn’t go home last night?’

 

‘Big thanks to you. I was too tired after carrying you and slept on the sofa yesterday. Come over here. I made you some soup to ease your headache.’ Jangwoo explained while signaling her to sit down.

 

Eunjung drank the soup heartily. Deep down in her heart, she always felt grateful to have Jangwoo in her bad days even though she doesn’t show it out. Suddenly she stopped and stares back at the Jangwoo. ‘What did you mean by weighing a ton?’

 

Jangwoo gulps down his last mouth before answering her carefully, ‘Well…you were drunk and he…heav…heavy, so… Hey hey wait. Don’t get angry first. Imagine you are all dead drunk and I had to piggyback you all the way to your room. I have the right to complaint right?’

 

EunJung thinks for awhile and said, ‘Jangwoo-ssi, I’m letting you off with a condition this time. Make me lunch today as well.’ EunJung smirked after getting victory once again.

 

‘I know you always wanted to make use of me. I have already bought the ingredients for lunch from the grocery store just now. I am gonna make kimchi soup and rolled eggs later.’

 

*

 

During the cooking time, EunJung felt bad and volunteered to help him out. While cutting the kimchi, Jangwoo asked randomly, ‘Seriously why did SooHyun break up with you?’

 

‘He said I paid more attention to work. He thinks that I left him out.’ EunJung blurt out honestly.

 

‘Just like that and he broke up with you? That’s why I say you are never good in looking for a partner. All of them are not good or better than me.’ Jangwoo complaint.

 

‘Why must they all be as good as you? Are you really that good? Isn’t that over confidence of you?’ EunJung rebuked as she put the ingredients into the pot.

 

‘For other things I dare not to say but anything related to you, I am the best candidate for your partner.’ He said confidently. ‘No no no next time, if you have any new boyfriend, you must let me see beforehand. If they meet my requirement, you can date them.’

 

‘Then you think I like all your girlfriends too? They are far from my expectations too. None of them are like me.’ EunJung said proudly.

 

‘Oh really? According to what you say, we must date each other then?’ Jangwoo said simply.

 

EunJung was shocked by that statement. Dating each other? Being friends with one another for so long, this question has never occurred to her before.

 

Jangwoo sense the sudden awkwardness in the atmosphere and quickly changed the topic. ‘Yah, Ham EunJung, the soup is boiling. Turn off the fire now.’ Jangwoo reminded her and gave her a slight tug.

 

EunJung who was still in dazed quickly recovered, ‘Oh oh okay alright. I was going to off it just now.’ They quickly settle down after awhile and enjoy their home made lunch like any other weekends.

 

Both in their late twenties who focused more in their careers, enjoyed having each other’s company during weekends together. Let it be camping or jogging or even just a simple meal together made their days joyful. To those who doesn’t know them will think that they are dating but for those who knew, they are the best girl-boy bestfriends ever.

 

Who will ever believe that these two will go on forever as best friends? Can a man and woman becomes bestfriends in real life?

 

The Nemesis Chapter 1

My name is Ham EunJung and I am the class monitor of Class 5A. Sounds cool right? Well that’s because I lead the girls well. This class however is not harmonious as it seems. My class has 15 boys and 16 girls in total. So whenever there is a task that concerns voting, we always win. We rule the class literally. But there is this one person who always tries to spoil my domination plan. His name is…

 

Lee

 

 Jang

 

Woo.

 

Lee JangWoo. The nemesis of my life.

 

*

 

‘Cheers to you EunJung-ah. Congratulations for your promotion. This dinner is on you.’ Jangwoo took his beer can and clinked with hers.

 

‘Yah Lee Jangwoo don’t you try to cheat me with your words. You are still paying tonight.’ EunJung tried to push the responsibility to the guy in front of her.

 

‘Ham EunJung, do you think I still do not know you well? After all these 15 years, I have learned to ‘pay’ for all the meals we have eaten together. Have you ever tried paying even once?’ Jangwoo retorted while shoving his beer around.

 

‘Then why are you still asking when you already knew the answer? You are the guy of course you should pay.’ EunJung drinks another mouthful of beer.

 

‘Oh, really? Then who is the one insisted to pay for the meal when a new male colleague came to our office? We are both men. You are acting bias here!’ Jangwoo retorted while opening another can.

 

‘Lee Jangwoo, you better stop now I get really angry here. I am the main for today so I get to make decision. For today’s meal you are going to pay.’ EunJung finishes her sentence and stood up from her seat.

 

Lee Jangwoo pulled out his wallet while shaking his head. This woman is sure hard to deal with.

 

‘Ahjumma, we are leaving. How much is all this?’

 

‘Young lad, your girlfriend is really pretty.’ said the foodstand boss while clearing up the table.

 

‘Oh ahjumma you are mistaken. She is just a friend and definitely not my style. Thanks for the food.’ Jangwoo paid for the meal before running out to catch up with her.

 

When Jangwoo left the foodstand, he saw EunJung trying to stabilize herself after all the beer drinking. Suddenly EunJung loses her footstep and falls forward. Quickly Jangwoo grabbed her from the back.

 

‘Yah can you be more careful? Let me call the cab and send you home now.’ Jangwoo said worriedly while holding onto her shoulders.

 

After 10 minutes, the cab arrived. Jangwoo got in before helping the half drunk EunJung into the car. During the car ride, EunJung was sleeping on Jangwoo’s shoulder, drooling. Jangwoo grossed at the scene and took out his handkerchief to clean her mouth.

 

How did I get stuck with this woman?

Romantic Trip Analysis

I AM SO SO EXCITED that I seriously have to make this post about today's episode. This episode is officially my FAVOURITE episode besides the Ep28 ^__^

(download)

p.s: Play this while reading my analysis ^^

I literally stopped breathing a few times that I have to pause the video for a moment. I can't imagine what will happen if I watch it live continuouly. Today's episode gives me a more mature (in relationship) WooJung. I DARE to say that they HAVE REAL feelings more each other. In this total of 46 minutes, there was NEVER a second I didn't smile throughout the video.

From the starting, they depend and trust each other a lot. They talk to each other like 10 years of married couple. Even when Jangwoo is talking, she was yawning. One thing I like the most is whenever they do little skinships to one another, they don't make big reactions out of it as if it was so NORMAL to them. I freaking love those moment.

Wj69
Wj70

And also you can see through this episode, EunJung have more aegyo than before. She will initiate skinships on her own. Haha and the part where she sings the 'Hug Me' by 10cm. Why the sudden song which could bring 'wrong' message to Jangwoo XD I also like how they had their own little thing/conversation that they laugh so much on their own but to the viewers that wasn't really funny.

Wj71

Still remember this? XD Feel the differences?

Wj73
Wj72

During the car ride, EunJung even lie on Jangwoo's shoulder. You can even sense that Jangwoo is speaking in aegyo manner. They are both influencing each other. EunJung learning Jangwoo's laugh and Jangwoo learning EunJung's aegyo. "We don't use to look alike but now since we are couple, we are looking more alike."

Wj74
Wj75

When EunJung said her neck is cold, Jangwoo help her to tighten the scarf. Even the veteran married Park Misun mentioned that they are very loving couple. EunJung didn't even make big reaction out of it. 

Wj76
Wj77
At the later part when Jangwoo and EunJung went to get the fish cleaned. When Jangwoo was talking suddenly I saw EunJung's hand trying to feed him. XD

Wj79

Another one is when they were both in the spa, when they just sat down, I saw Jangwoo's arm interlocking with hers. It wasn't very clear. Not too sure about it also. Do you think they are interlocking their arms or what?

Wj78

When they were making dinner, Jangwoo couldn't find the tools to grate the onion so in the end he had to use the basket to grate it somehow. The actions he did was so similar to those time he was trying to deal with the omija. So innocent yet so cute. EunJung was laughing by the side. I bet she would laugh too if she was at home with Jangwoo on that housekeeping day. XD I bet she must be super proud to have a husband who is good in everything. A guy that cooks <3

Wj80

 

So that's it. My analysis for today's episode. After today's episode, ONE WORD - WOOJUNG IS REAL!!!


 

<3 몰강몰강 <3

 

 

ONESHOT - You Belong To Me

Jangwoo woke up from his disturbed sleep when he heard the familiar ringtone. He searched his phone on the side table and saw an incoming call.

‘Coming back to Seoul tomorrow?’ EunJung called from the waiting room while waiting for her turn to enter the scene.

Mumbled through his words, ‘I will try to but if not I guess it’s another night here with my wife. Anything important tomorrow?’

’No...I am just...nothing. Just forget about it. All you care is your wife now. Hmph.’

Chuckled at her words, ‘Of course she is important to me for now. I need her to keep my work going. If there is nothing else, I am going to hang up now.’

‘Aren’t you going to say—’ EunJung tried to keep him on the phone.

Before she could finish her sentence, the other party has hung up the phone, leaving her dumbfounded.    

Sorry yeobong, had to make you suffer awhile before the day comes.

Jangwoo laid down for awhile and drifted back to sleep.

*

EunJung plan to stay in all day. She pushed all her schedules ahead just to make some time for this important day. Wandering around the living room, she is still angry from the phone incident last night.

Her phone on the table starts vibrating, she picked up instantly. It was a message from him.

[Sorry I don’t think I can come back to Seoul today]

When she saw the message, she pouted her lips in disappointment. Suddenly she received a call from her manager.

‘EunJung-ah, I think today you have to make a trip to location set in Han River today. An emergency meeting for all the actors.’

‘Really? But oppa—‘

‘EunJung-ah, I know you took leave today but it’s really important. And I have also sent a service cab 30 minutes to your house. You need to go there yourself today. I am tied down with other stuff.’

Since you are ‘busy ’with your wife, there is no pointing staying home.

‘If that’s the case, I will get ready. Thank you, oppa.’

‘And remember to wear prettier today, fashion terrorist. Bye!’

‘OPPA!!  How could you—‘

Arrghh even he is hanging on my phone now. Wait a minute, wear prettier today? It’s just a meeting, isn’t it?

After changing, she steps out of their bedroom. A sudden thought cross her mind.

What if I change to those?

Without a second thought, she changed herself into a casual T and tight jeans.  After putting on light make up, she got ready to the set.

*

She got down from the cab and step into the wide Han River but no one was insight.

Did I come to the wrong location set?

All of a sudden, a pair of hands sneaked up around EunJung’s waist. Startled, she was ready to hit anyone who is making fun of her.

‘HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY, YEOBONG!’

She turned around and saw her husband holding a big bouquet of roses. Her real husband, Lee JangWoo. They got married for real after joining WGM for a year. He was there standing right in front of her wearing the same casual T she is wearing. It was a couple T that the fans bought for them last year.

‘Yah, why did you lie to me about not coming home? You know I waited the whole morning at home for you.’ EunJung complained while taking the flowers.

‘To give you a surprise, of course. Sorry yeobo, I didn’t mean it.’ Jangwoo holds onto her waist, trying to keep his wife calm.

EunJung sarcastically continued, ‘What about your wife in Gangnam? You don’t care about her anymore?’

‘ Yeobo, stop talking about her anymore. She is just my wife in the drama. You want to be jealous about that too? What about you and your boyfriend? You think I like the idea too?’ Jangwoo retorted.

‘You are the one who started it.  I think he is so much more romantic than you. Meh-rong.’ After EunJung said her piece, she runs away with the flowers.

‘Yeobo how could you say that? You are dead tonight.’ Jangwoo starts chasing her around.

*

After awhile of game chasing, Jangwoo pulled her into a tent.

The tent was decorated with flowers. He put her into the sit and ran out of the tent. Still panting, she looks around the tent. It was the same old tent they used to come back in their WGM days. She smiled to herself at the thought of the sweet memories that flooded her mind.

 ‘Yeobo, where are you?’

‘Coming. Just a little while more, yeobo’

Jangwoo came back with two cups of expresso in the camping couple cup.

‘You brew yourself? I don’t want anything like last time again.’

‘Trust me yeobo. It took me months to master the correct amount of powder and water’

EunJung sips in a little and gave Jangwoo a weird look. ‘Why it doesn’t taste nice?’ Worried Jangwoo is waiting for EunJung’s reply.

‘It is nice but it taste…a little…weird.’

Jangwoo laugh out loud at the comment and said, ‘Cause I put in the carbonated water from the well into it!’

‘You spoilt the flavor of Americano. Tell me why did you put it in?’

‘You really want to know? How about you search it in the internet, just like last time.’ Jangwoo smiled cheekily.

‘Yah, jugullae (wanna die)? Now it’s not the time for this thing yet. We are still young and our career just picked up the pace.’ EunJung being slightly worried.

Putting his chin on her shoulder, he pouts, ’Yeobo can’t we make exception? I really want a small WooJung.’

‘You are already a big baby yourself, yeobo. We don’t need another one.’ EunJung combed his hair a bit.

Still in disappointment, Jangwoo stood and ask for her hand, ‘Let’s go to our next destination, yeobo. I have another place for you.’

Sensing the changes, EunJung stood up and hug him tightly. ‘Yeobo, I’m really sorry. It’s not that I don’t want a baby but it’s really not the time yet.’

‘It’s okay, yeobo. Let’s not talk about this anymore and spoil our mood. Let’s go.’ EunJung’s hug is always the weak point that he can’t resist.

They walked hand in hand and entered Jangwoo’s car and drove to their next destination.

*

Driving in his newly bought car, he brought her to a restaurant for a candlelight dinner. When the waiter saw them, he brought them to a private area where Jangwoo had reserved earlier. They sat at a corner with both sitting side by side. Then Jangwoo signaled the waiter to bring them the food he had prepared for her. They enjoy their dinner like any couple would do. After awhile it was time for dessert.

The waiter brought out a cake with full of pepero stick. On top of the cake, it was a ring that Jangwoo bought for her. He has decided to buy a ring every year for their anniversary because he knows that EunJung loves to wear rings. He wants to spend Golden Marriage Anniversary with her together.

He took EunJung’s hand and slides it into the second finger. Her third finger has already occupied with their wedding ring.

‘Happy 1st Anniversary Yeobo.’Jangwoo smiled to her.

Touched EunJung looks at the ring. It was written [Yeobo <3 Yeobong]. ‘Thank you, yeobo. But I haven’t prepared anything for you yet. ‘

‘Its okay, yeobo. Having you here with me and not some other guy, I am already contented enough. It’s hard for me as a husband to have my wife being shared.’ Jangwoo pouts again.

‘Yeobo, you know that is all acting right? I always imagined them as you.’ After finishing her sentence, she gave a peck on his cheek.

Then she whispers to his ear, ‘You will get more tonight.’

*

Finally they reached their home sweet home. They live in the same house they had in WGM and retain all their decorations. The only difference is that, there are no longer cameras around the house.

He went to the kitchen and took out two wine glasses and pours some red wine into it. He gave one to EunJung. Both enjoy the quiet night in the living room with a glass of red wine.

‘Yeobo, thanks for doing all this for me.’ Eunjung said while looking at the ring. ‘And so fast the day is ending and I have to return to my ‘boyfriend’ tomorrow for filming.’

‘Not so fast, yeobo.’ He put down the wine glass and stares into her eyes. He took EunJung’s glass and put it aside.

His hand reached for her cheeks and brushes it slightly. ‘Yeobo, you are so beautiful tonight.’ He gets closer to her and made a peck on her lips. ‘Yeobo can I have the permission for tonight?’

She smiled at his statement and returns the peck with a more passionate one. Soon it turned into a more aggressive one. Jangwoo stood up breaking up the kiss and say, ‘Bath and wait for me in the room. I will be right back.’

When she was about to walk into their room, he stops her and whisper in her ear, ‘Wear my favourite night gown.’ His deep arousal voice made her shivers down her spine.

He smiled cheekily and runs down to the convenience store as fast as he could.
