The Return Of Not-So-Superman Kwon Jiyong

Chapter 2: Daddy Jiyong

"You don't have any regrets? "

"Well... You can't actually call it regrets. Well you know I have always wanted to pursue acting back when we were still promoting as a group-"

"But then you turned down all the offers for us, yes. Oh! Please, Darong. I still feel guilty about it till now," Bom rolled her eyes.

"Hey, I was not rubbing it on your face!" Dara laughed at her. "I was just saying... A person's passion for something don't just die like that. Look at you. You went on hiatus for so long and now you're back... From outer space." Dara taunted her making Bom squint her eyes.

"Hah!" she flipped her hair. "I'm back with a vengeance!"

"You claimed your throne well. Stop flipping your hair here in my kitchen."

Bom stilled for a moment and just watched Dara move around the kitchen effortlessly. It made her smile. Certainly, her bestfriend has evolved to a really good wife and mom.

"So that's it?" Dara asked making Bom raise her brows. "Is that all? Jiyong said you called up last night. I knew it. It was all about Tabi," Dara giggled. "Oh Bommie... don't give him a hard time."

"Darong..."

"Hmm?" Dara turned around to face her while wiping her hands clean. She shuffled towards her bestfriend eyed her with scrutiny. "Spill it,"

Bom returned her with a tight-lipped smile. "Uhm... When I called up last night, I wasn't going to talk to you about Tabi..." she told Dara leaving the woman in wonder. "Fine. I was just worried about you because I heard you weren't doing the movie. I mean why? It's a good one. It's a nice role. Why do you have to refuse it just because Jiyong did?"

"Bommie..."

"Look, don't even start with that deal that you would keep your married life in private because we aren't talking about privacy here. We're taking about your career and what you wanna do in life. And your husband is being such a huge cockblocker!"

"Watch your mouth, Bommie... Aisht..." Dara gasped and dragged Bom to the living room.

"What? I'm just telling the truth!!! "

"Fine, Jiyong is. So what? I mean... He is right. We are married. We have three lovely kids. What's there to wish more for? Bom... You know I'd love to be able to act again but not when my husband's against it. Things are different now. We cannot fight and breakup and then just get back together anytime we want to,"

Bom sighed helplessly, unable to answer back Dara. She has a point. Things are different now. And what could she do? She has already decided to make that sacrifice.

She shut her eyes and raised her hands in the air in surrender. "I'm sorry... I..."

"Bom..." Dara went to hug her tightly. "I know you mean well. It's okay,"

"You know what? It has been my long time dream to sing the OST of your movie. For us to share something together while we're doing solo... And I thought this could be it but..."

"SURPRISE! I'M HOME!!!"

Bom and Dara straightened up upon the sound of Jiyong's voice booming through the entire household.

"Yong il, Yongdu, Yongse! Appa's home- Oh, n-n-oona... You're here," Jiyong swallowed hard at the sight of Bom beside Dara.

"Why? Am I not welcome here?" Bom scowled at him but he was immediately distracted when Dara flung her arms around him, welcoming him home.

"The boys are taking their nap,"

"Oh... But it's already past five,"

"Yeah. So just go upstairs and check them. Bommie's not in a very desirable mood right now." she whispered a warning before pecking on his cheek. "She brought some stuff for the kids. She's staying for dinner," Dara announced as she turned to Bom. "Right?"
