Love is...
A will to share your heart,
A gut to give up yourself,
A devotion to bestow your life,
A pledge to the one you are fated to.
Love is fate.
-SAL-
KGE's Grandma's grave.
3 pm.
Halmeoni, how are you in heaven?
I come to you today...
Do you see the snow here, Halmeoni?
It's beautiful...
I wish we were somewhere else to watch the snowfall together but here...
KGE stood beside her halmeoni's tomb after putting the red camellias in the stone vases right in front of the gravestone. She smiled and patted the gravestone where her halmeoni's name was written. The snow made her grave looked pretty. KGE tried to hold back her tears. She missed her so much. KGE felt so vulnerable right now that she badly needed her.
I miss you so much, Halmeoni...
I need your wisdom and guidance...
I am scared lately.
I am bruised...I'm hurt...I'm in pain.
I've had ups and downs, I know. But,
I feel like everything is so hard for me lately.
My works, my career, my life, my love.
Am I too sensitive, Halmeoni?
I feel so angry and sad.
KGE sighed.
She glanced at the two boys who stood a little far from the grave across from her. They both looked concerned at her. She smiled and waved at them, who waved back and smiled too. The two gorgeous men looked like bodyguards to her-beautiful bodyguards under the falling snow.
Halmeoni...
The bashing and bullying towards me are getting all the time worst...
Can you ask God why some people hate me because of the way I look?
And because of my appearance, they judge me and hate my works too.
They have been accused me of things I never did or done, and I won't ever do!
They hate me for being me.
They have failed to understand me.
I will try my best not to fail them, though.
The cold wind blew her hair. She pulled her beanie down to her ears.
Whether I am pretty or ugly, I believe God has created me with His love.
And everything He created is pretty.
Isn't it Halmeoni?
You taught me to see things differently.
Dare to be different, and make things different.
Then why they hate me because I am different?
Did my difference harm them?
Did my look do them harm?
Did I do them harm?
I wonder.
KGE sighed and closed her eyes. She could see her grandma smiled at her with twinkles in her eyes. The feeling of safety and comfort slowly filled KGE's heart. It was just like the old days when Grandma Kim was still around.
Why their hearts clouded by hatred?
Is it God's will for me to be hated?
Will God help me out of this situation?
Halmeoni...
Could you tell God that I need His love more to get through everything?
I need more love to forgive and forget...
And I need His will to let me love and be loved without fears and doubts...
Far across from KGE, LMH couldn't stop looking at her, who stood beside her grandma's tomb. He knew that his girlfriend was pouring her heart out right now. She talked to her grandma in silence. His heart was warmed just by seeing her busy with her mind. LMH hoped KGE would get her heart and mind at ease.
LMH and KB gave KGE space and time alone with her grandma. They watched her from afar. LMH didn't want to bother his girlfriend's private moment. He could guess why KGE came to her grave on the last day of Seollal. He knew how much her grandma's meant to her. Grandma Kim's had been KGE's most potent amulet of strength and love.
Halmeoni...
Do you see that man in a long black coat over there?
The taller one with that sharp nose and beautiful eyes.
Yes, the one with those cute dimples...
Do you see how he smiles at me?
Isn't he handsome, Halmeoni?
What do you think of him?
Can you recognize him?
Do you remember him?
Can you guess who?
KGE set her eyes on her grandma's name on the headstone. KGE smiled sweetly as she spoke to Grandma Kim in her mind again,
You're right, Halmeoni.
It's Kim Tan...the legend.
It's Lee Min Ho...the myth.
KGE sighed.
The two names with the word 'legend' and 'myth' felt so heavy for her.
She was happy that she could share the names and their titles with her grandma. The weight on her shoulders felt a little lighter now, and there was a relief in her heart too.
He was the one who cheered me up when I was so worried about you...
He called me one day when you were so ill only to listen to me crying...
That was the day I thought he was special...
And somehow, he was connected with you in a way...
Do you think it's unreal, Halmeoni?
I always think I am only dreaming...
But I don't want to ever wake up from it.
KGE smiled as she recalled the memory of LMH's call. The very one special unexpected call that saved her day. LMH healed her heart without trying. He was just meant to be there to listen and comforted her.
I so wish you two had met before the day God asked you to come home...
But God has the best plan...
Doesn't He, Halmeoni?
You never had a chance to meet him...
But he is here...with me...
On this particular day of the year.
KGE peeked a glance at LMH, who was talking to KB. He looked so handsome and dreamy in her eyes even from this far. She blew her breath; it was cold but not in her heart. The warmth from her grandma's spirit and the sight of the man she loved warmed her body.
He comes with me today to greet you.
I hope you can tell me what you think of him...
I believe you would like him...
He is the sweetest man I have ever met.
And Halmeoni...
KGE covered her mouth as she giggled shyly.
I am in love with him...
I fall in love with the myth...
And it's magical...it's unreal...
But the myth has become my reality...
Fortunately...
Aren't you happy for me, Halmeoni?
Do you think he loves me, too?
KGE closed her eyes as she tried to feel the closeness to her grandma's spirit. The warmth filled KGE's heart when she seemed to hear her grandmother's soft and gentle voice in her ears. The spirit questioned her, and KGE smiled as she answered,
Ye Halmeoni...
I love him; I'm deeply in love with him.
I want to be with him all the time.
I want to be a part of him all my life.
I need to live with him for as long as we both shall live.
Together, through good and bad, against all odds.
The inner warmth shielded her body when the breeze was chill and cold as it brushed her cheeks. KGE always forgot the time whenever she was visiting her grandmother's grave. She felt so safe around her grandma's eternal home.
Don't you think I am ready for it, my dearest Halmeoni?
That I am ready to love and beloved tirelessly...
I wish I could show you how much I am happy...
KGE gazed at the mound that was covered by snow. She thought she heard her grandma questioning her about how LMH made her feel and why. She giggled without a sound at the question, but she was sure about the answers.
He makes me happy,
He makes me feel pretty,
He makes me feel alive and lively,
He makes me smile and laugh a lot,
He makes me want to love him more.
It's all because he loves me for being me.
He brings out the best of me...
I love the way he loves me...
Halmeoni...
Loving him is the best thing that ever happens to me.
Shall I say the vow to live and love with him one day,
I would love to share my heart and soul under God's will.
If there was a man, I want to be in love with within the afterlife...
It would be him also.
KGE cupped her cheeks to warm her face.
A snowflake fell on her nose. She wrinkled her nose, then brushed it off with her gloved hand. Her eyes caught the sight of LMH, who smiled fondly at her from the spot he was standing with his shaky legs. He must be cold, KGE thought.
Appa, Eomma, Oppa, and Eonni know about him. Ire and Roi love him, too.
I didn't tell you on the first day of Seollal...mianhae.
We had a misunderstanding that day.
Ye, Halmeoni...it was my fault.
I was so angry and jealous.
I am ashamed now.
KGE suppressed her nervous chuckle. She could see her grandma's teasing face on her mind for being jealous and angry at LMH.
You once told me how lovers fight and argue...
They will always be bickering with each other...
But at the end of the day, their love can only be getting stronger...
And I think you got it right, Halmeoni...
The bickering and misunderstanding are over...
We are back to love each other more...
He is here...with me...to see you...
Today...the last day of Seollal...
I believe my love for him is getting stronger,
Can you ask God to make his love for me stronger, too?
KGE grinned and stroked the name written on the tomb with so much love and longing. Her grandma had always been her strength and inspiration to go further and strive without hesitation.
Halmeoni...please give me your blessing.
I love him deeply, and I want to share my life with him when the time comes. But...
I have fears and doubts and diffidence from the beginning...
I need more supports and encouragement...
So that I come to you...
The snow fell a little harder now. The chilly wind blew her reddened face. The temperature seemed to drop a little bit lower. It was colder than before, much colder.
KGE looked up abruptly to where her boyfriend was standing. She got worried now. But LMH seemed to look fine, and he didn't stop smiling at her. Their eyes met, and KGE knew LMH was telling her that he was alright. She nodded and glanced back to her grandma's tomb.
Halmeoni...
I will try my best to be the strongest person you were always wanted me to be.
I will try harder to be the woman you always believed I was born to be.
But I need your blessing to be someone I always dream to be.
Halmeoni...
All I want is to be someone blessed with love, be in love, and be loved.
I need to feel that I am worthy of someone special...
That I am special for that special someone...
And that I can find that special one...
The wind blew very hard now; her flowers on the stone vases were swept away as the snow fell thicker like rain. KGE felt the coldness was getting ridiculously painful against her skin. She turned her head again to where LMH stood, and her heart leaped to see him fell on his knee when KB grabbed his arm to help him stand up. KGE felt like dying in a brief moment.
KGE ran without thinking toward him. She cursed herself for being so ignorant. This cold had to be the reason LMH fell on his knee.
"Imino!" She shouted his name as she reached the spot where he was standing by KB's support now.
"Gwaenchana..." LMH said softly.
The snow was blocking KGE's eyes, but she could still see the pain on his face. She hated to see him in pain, for her heart was torn seeing him like that.
"GoEun-ah, Gaja! It's too cold for hyeong!" KB's loud voice sounded terribly concern.
"Sanbaenim...mianhae..." KGE's worried and terrified look was enough to make LMH reached her to his embrace. KGE hugged him as she supported him too. She wiped away the snowflakes from his face and put her hand on his cold cheek. LMH tried to smile but failed.
LMH hissed a little as the pain throbbing his leg. KB held his one arm while LMH hugged KGE tightly with his other arm. But LMH managed to say softly,
"I got you with me, baby, so I am alright..." He winked at his frowning girlfriend.
KGE sighed.
KB frowned.
"Can you walk, hyeong?" KB's worried voice made LMH chuckled.
"Haissh...of course! I got the two of you supporting my body!" LMH tried to assure KB and KGE that he could walk. "You two, don't worry too much. I'm ok!" He tried to ease their worries.
"Imino...I am sorry..." KGE choked.
"Ne...It's OK, baby...you don't do anything wrong!" LMH glared and gave her a soft squeeze on her shoulder arm.
KGE circled her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. The wind blew harder with a whistling sound now. KB gritted his teeth. He knew they need to get faster to the car before anything terrible happened. LMH needed to get warmed soon.
"We need to walk faster now, hyeong! Give me the key!" KB couldn't hide his restlessness. LMH gave him the car's key and grimaced. KB knew how the cold do to his best friend, and he wouldn't let that happen. Not when LMH was with him.
"Baby, I am sorry that I make you leave your grandma too soon..." His voice showed his deep regret. KGE gazed at his sad eyes and said,
"What are you saying, sanbaenim? I was about to finish when you fell! And believe me, Halmeoni would be very angry at me if I let you be in pain just because I want to talk to her." KGE patted his chest then stroked it gently as she snuggled her head on it. LMH smiled and tightly hugged her and squeezed her arm as they were slowly walking to the car.
"GoEun-ah... Can you take care of hyeong alone? I have to get to the car first and let it warm enough for him before he gets in." KB asked KGE with his clear and obvious concerns. Everyone would know how worried this old boy was by looking at his face.
"Can. No worries, Bumie sunbae...go ahead...I'll take care of my Imino..." KGE smiled and winked at him. KB frowned and nodded. The naughty bad boy looked so severe now; he couldn't even smile.
"Hyeong...See you later! Palli!!" He punched LMH's arm then ran to the parking lot without waiting for LMH's answer.
"Yaaaaaahhh...How could he let a lady do this work!" LMH grumbled.
KGE pinched his chin and gazed at his eyes. She smiled fondly at him as she said,
"Imino...Don't you like me holding you like this without anyone disturbing the moment?" KGE teased him and gave him the brightest smile. LMH rolled his eyes but grinned after all.
"Arasseo...That brat is trying to help me anyway..." He sighed as they continued to walk.
"He cares...Isn't he just the sweetest?" KGE looked up to see LMH's face just to find him frowning.
"He is...Isn't he?" He answered her with a hint of annoyance.
"Aigooo...My baby boy...Don't be cynical!" KGE pinched his waist flirtatiously. He glared at her.
"Do you think he is the sweetest?" LMH snapped, then pouted.
"Hahaha...aren't you just the cutest, sanbaenim? Don't tell me you're jealous!" KGE tightened her grip on his waist and made sure LMH walked comfortably.
"I am NOT!" He snapped.
"No, of course, you are not jealous, nae sarang." KGE giggled, "You don't need to. Because to me, you are the sweetest of the sweetest!" KGE laughed as she tried to support his big and tall figure with her tiny and soft body.
LMH snorted but smiled shyly. His girlfriend always knew how to make him happy and giddy. She could always make him shy, too. They walked carefully under the falling snow.
"Baby, did you tell Halmeoni about me?"
"Ye...of course..."
"Did you tell her about us?"
"No doubt!"
"Do you think she likes me?"
"That's a good question, sanbaenim..."
"Meaning?"
"I asked myself the same question..."
"Which question?"
"Haiisshh... Does she like you?"
"And?"
"Well..."
"Mwo??"
"How should I say it?"
"Yaaaah? Does she like me?"
"What do you think, Imino?"
"I don't want to think!"
KGE laughed at her sulky and pouty boyfriend. This particular LMH's face was the most famous expression of this ever handsome and alluring Hallyu King. KGE couldn't stop herself from jumping a little to give a peck on his pouting lips. LMH was startled, but he was too happy. The pain in his leg seemed to vanish instantly because of that simple peck.
"Aigooo...Aren't you the cutest, sanbaenim?"
"I am not!"
"But you are!" KGE kissed his lips again. He grinned.
"So, does Halmeoni like me?"
"What if she didn't like you, sanbaenim?"
"I'd die!"
"Hahaha...I miss your cheesiness!"
"I am serious, baby...I'd die!"
"Then I will be the saddest bride to be!"
LMH stopped his walk abruptly as he heard the word 'bride to be.' He stared at KGE's smiling face and looked into her eyes deeply. The wind blew so hard, and the cold was getting crazy. But LMH seemed to forget that his leg was throbbing painfully.
"What did you just say, GoEun-nie?"
"What did I say?"
"You did say it! Repeat it!"
"Say what?"
"Say IT!!!"
"What?!"
"Yaaaaah!!!!"
LMH shook her body as KGE giggled merrily. She kept holding LMH on his waist to keep him steady. She knew LMH would not drop the matter easily. He wouldn't drop it at all.
"It's getting colder and colder now, nae sarang..." KGE spoke softly as she wiped another snowflake from his determined face. LMH pressed her body tighter and kept his eyes locked on her glowing eyes.
"Say it again...Chaebal..."
"Imino..."
"Euniga..."
"I..."
"Say it..."
"I will be the saddest..."
"NO...I won't die! So say It!"
"Mwo? You changed your words!"
"I did!"
"That's unfair!"
"FAIR!"
"How is it fair?"
"Because I won't let you be the saddest!"
KGE smiled widely and spoke a little loud as the wind whistled louder now.
"I know you won't, Imino..."
"Then say it..."
"Will you be alive?"
"I will ask God for me to be alive!"
"Will you be happy?"
"I am the happiest! Of course, I will!"
"Halmeoni likes you..."
"That's relieving...how do you know?"
"My heart got warm and happy when I asked her about you..."
LMH couldn't hide his happiness. His dimpled smile was all KGE needed to see. He looked like a teen boy who fell in love for the first time, how she loved to see him like that. He even walked a little better now because he was giddy. It warmed KGE's heart to see this big baby boy being so honest about his feelings. He was always forthcoming.
"Anything else that I need to know, baby?"
"Hmmm...It depends..."
"Haisshh...Don't play secret now, baby..."
"I am not!"
"Will you tell me after you repeat the word?"
"What word?"
"Yaaah!!"
KGE giggled and let them walked a little faster. LMH hissed when the pain throbbed in his leg again, but he didn't stop walking and poured his curiosity instead,
"So, anything important besides her liking me?"
"Ye...There is something important..."
"And it's...What?"
"The most important question and its answer..."
"May I know it?"
"Oh yes, you may, and you should know it, sanbaenim."
"Should I be worried?"
"It depends..."
"Aigooo..."
"Are you ready, Imino?"
"I'll try to be ready..."
"If you still wanted me to repeat the word..."
"Yah!! I'm ready!!"
LMH was annoyed but nodded. His eyes gazed deeply into KGE's glowing eyes. He didn't care how painful his leg was. He needed to know what was it about, right here right now.
The whistle of the wind was getting louder.
The snowflakes were getting thicker.
The rain of snow was getting harder.
The temperature was getting colder.
KGE shouted her words to win from the wind,
"Imino..."
"..."
"One day... when the leaves are red..."
"..."
"When the weather is cool..."
"..."
"When the breeze is blowing softly..."
"..."
"When the night is young and long..."
"..."
"Under the will of God..."
"..."
"I will be the happiest..."
"..."
"Your bride to be..."
"..."
The windswept their faces.
It was so cold and freezing.
But the warmth in their hearts beat them all.
KGE just said the most beautiful wish he had ever heard in all his life. It was as if they were having a love dialogue in the most romantic drama ever made. LMH couldn't believe his ears, but he didn't want to believe any other way either. He believed in every word she said.
"Baby..." He choked.
With that only word, LMH hugged the love of his life in his loving embrace with little teary eyes. LMH didn't know what to say to her. He couldn't describe the feeling he felt inside his thumping heart. Everything she said was overwhelmingly astounding and fascinating.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for this pain in my leg.
Thank you for all the pain I have lately, too.
For You just gave me the most beautiful pain killer.
You just granted me the most potent pain healer.
Let every word she said to be my prayers, too.
Please take and grant our prayers.
So help us, Lord.
"YAAAAAH!!! YOU TWO!!! PALLI!!!!!"
KB's loud shout startled them both. His worried voice brought LMH and KGE back to the earth again.
They had to get going before the cold caused LMH terrible pain.
LMH waved his hand at KB and giggled. LMH could see KB's worried and restless look. He knew he had to get to the car sooner. But yet,
LMH bent his head and kissed KGE's smiling lips, then whispered tenderly on her ear,
"Gamsahabnida baby...You just made me the happiest man alive!"
"I am the happiest woman, too...sanbaenim..."
"Amen to your prayers, baby...I am praying too..."
"Amen, Imino. Let us pray together..."
They were tightened their embrace. The feelings were mutual. The love they shared was getting stronger.
"One day...baby..."
"One day...Imino..."
"I thank God I have found you, KGE-sshi."
"And I thank God, I have found you too, LMH-sshi."
And their eyes gazed at each other deeply.
"My future, Mrs. Lee... Saranghae..."
"Nado saranghae, my Mr.Lee to be..."
They giggled together as their tightened their hug on each other.
They strolled to the parking lot with smiles on their faces.
Halmeoni...Mianhae...
I have to leave you this sudden.
Thank you for your love in heaven.
I decided to be brave because of you.
I have said what my heart wants to say.
I won't stop or let the world stop me, for I have found him.
I will continue to reach my destination without fear.
The destination I have with him is so clear.
I will cherish every moment with a smile.
Until the day we walk on the aisle.
The day when the knots are tied.
Under the will of God.
Till death do us part.
They both finally got to the car.
KB swiftly opened the door and helped LMH to get inside the warm car.
They were on their way home now that KGE looked up to the sky from the car's window.
Halmeoni...
I promise I'll come to visit again soon.
I know you would understand,
This sweetest man needs me.
I need to take care of him.
As he takes care of me.
I love you, Halmeoni.
I know you bless us.
Gamsahabnida.
Rest in peace,
Halmeoni...
*****
LMH's car, highway.
4 pm.
"Bumieyah...gamsahabnida, chingu!" LMH patted KB's shoulder. KB made sure the car's cabin temperature was warm enough for LMH.
"You owe me big time, hyeong!" He grinned without diverting his sight from the road.
"I do! I know I can always count on you, chingu!" LMH giggled and punched KB's arm gently. KB grinned ear to ear and glanced at KGE from the rearview mirror when he heard her said,
"Aren't you two the sweetest bromance?" KGE giggled and put her hand on LMH's shoulder, "Should I be jealous at Bumie sunbae, Imino?"
"You shouldn't, baby. He can't beat you!" LMH winked at her and took her hand to his chest. He held her hand tenderly and giggled.
KB didn't bother to respond to LMH's teasing. He was too focused on making sure the car was running safely under the rain of snow.
"Are you feeling alright, Hyeong? I mean your leg..." KB questioned him as he turned the beam headlights on. The snow rain was so heavy that they barely saw the road. KB put his focus on driving that he had to make sure they were saved.
"It's better now, Bumieyah...No worries." LMH frowned as he got a little worry to see how thick and heavy the rain of snow was. "Careful Bumieyah...I guess we can pull over to wait for the rain to stop if we needed to." LMH's voice sounded worried.
"Agreed. I'll drive slowly for now. Let's see hyeong." KB mumbled as he put his concentration on the road.
KB glanced at the fuel gauge. He sighed in relief. But the worry hit him when his eyes caught the number that appeared on the temperature gauge; it showed minus one degree Celsius.
"Is there something wrong, Bumie sunbae?" KGE showed KB's expression from aside. She knew KB was worried about something. KB answered her without looking at her from the rearview,
"It's minus one outside. It's going to get colder and drop lower anytime soon. We need to get to Mrs. Lee's house sooner...or else..." KB didn't continue his saying. KGE knew what he meant.
Silence
"Imino...let me put it on your lap, it's long enough, and it's surely warm to cover your legs." KGE leaned over and put her long jacket on LMH's lap. She arranged the coat to cover his legs tightly with her two hands. Her hair dropped on LMH's face that made him giggled.
"Omonaaa...aren't you two acting parents to me now?" LMH teased KB and KGE.
KB snorted.
"I don't know if KB sunbae was acting, but I am not!" KGE snapped but giggled as she finished to cover LMH's leg with her jacket. LMH pulled up her hair and smiled at her. Her face was so close to his. Their eyes met. If only they were alone; he knew what he was already doing to her.
He sighed.
KGE gulped and pulled off her face as she leaned back to her seat again.
"Is it warm enough for you, Hyeong?" KB's question startled LMH, who was still in his trance after the moment his face was only an inch away from KGE's. All he could see was her tempting lips on his mind.
"Ah...Ye...It is, Bumieyah...Don't worry..." LMH stuttered.
"Are you stuttering? Is it cold now?" KB was panicking now.
"No...no, of course, No..." LMH tried to collect himself.
"Aigoooo...I thought you were stuttering from the cold!" KB's voice was loud from his panic.
"I am not stuttering...I was thinking of something else when you questioned me!" LMH snapped.
He was too shy now. LMH was thankful that KB's eyes were focusing on the road. KB wouldn't see how his face was getting red now.
"Haiishh...I don't think we can get through this snowfall." KB muttered.
"You're right. I don't think we can, Bumieyah..." LMH sat straightly as he tried to see the road clearly.
Everything was white now. The wipers seemed to have a problem wiping away the snowflakes. The visibility was not enough for them to continue driving either.
"Sanbaenim, I think we need to pull over...it's too dangerous..." KGE spoke up as she gazed at the white colors that covered everything now. They could see many cars stopped and parked along the sideways.
"Ye, baby...we need to pull over now..." LMH assured her and glanced at KB, who was widening his eyes to help him see the road better. "Are you okay, Bumieyah?"
"Ye...I'm okay, let's pull over..." KB turned the car to the right side then parked.
There are no cars other than theirs on the roadside. Luckily, the GPS worked fine, so they knew where their whereabouts exactly. The thing that bothered KB most was the temperature. He was too worried about it. He lost his smile since LMH fell beside him.
"Bumieyah...Don't worry too much. Gwaenchanhaa.." LMH patted KB's shoulder.
"You better be, hyeong..." KB frowned and glanced at the temperature gauge again.
He prayed that a least it stayed at minus one and never dropped lower.
KB took off his jacket and put it on LMH's legs. LMH chuckled. And poked KB's arm.
"Haiiishh...you are even more worried than my girlfriend back there!"
"I didn't want to see what I witnessed years ago, hyeong...No way!"
"Yah! That was like ages ago. I am so much better now, Bumieyah..."
"I know, and I hope so!"
"Aren't I, baby?"
KGE was dazed now. She was as worried as KB. She didn't know how to answer LMH's question. She got tongue-tied, which only made the two old buddies turned their heads around and stared at her confused face. Her eyes were glancing right and left while her lips were twisted.
"Yaaah! Baby! Don't tell me you too are worried too much?!" LMH snapped at her.
"Hyeong! How can you tell her not to worry?" KB snapped at LMH.
"Aigooo...Are you trying to take her side now?" LMH glared sharply at KB.
"Well, yes! And why not? GoEun-ah has so much right to be worried!" KB glared back at LMH.
"Yaaah! It's my leg! I know better!" LMH didn't let the argument over.
"You know better, but you don't care!" KB poked LMH's shoulder a little hard.
"Whaaa...Do you think I don't?" LMH poked KB's shoulder in return.
"If you care, you wouldn't miss bringing a blanket in your car!" KB's loud voice filled the car.
"Haiiiish!! I forgot! But that doesn't mean I don't care, grannie!" LMH shouted back.
"Call me grannie, but you are a cocky great grannie who forgot important things!" KB smirked.
"You Brat!!! What do you mean by forgot important things?" LMH moved his face closer to KB's.
"Aigooo...See? You forgot!!" KB hissed.
"Mwoya??" LMH hissed back.
KGE's eyes were running here and there as the two brothers argued. It was like watching a live broadcasting situation comedy series.
"Did you forget something, sanbaenim?" KGE's sweet voice made the two silly boys turned their heads at her. The three of them just exchanged stares without words.
Silence
"Rrr..." KGE felt her cheeks were blushing to be stared at by these two boys at a time.
"Did you ask me something, baby?" LMH's voice was so soft now.
KB glared at his hyeong. How magical it was to hear LMH's voice could change drastically whenever he talked to KGE. This great old grannie was totally in love.
KB snorted.
"Ah...ye...did you forget something, sanbaenim?"
"No, I didn't, baby...don't listen to Bumieyah!"
"I mean...if you need me to remind you..."
"Mwo??"
KB laughed out loud now.
LMH punched his arm.
KGE giggled.
"Yaaah! You two!!" LMH bit his lips and rolled his eyes.
"Hyeong...Mianhae...But you forgot your blanket, socks, an extra sweater, a light shawl and so on! I was upset when I got to the car and didn't find any of them!" KB looked at LMH's stunned face now.
"I..." LMH just lost in his thought.
"Don't worry, Hyeong...you got GoEun-ah to remind you later on..." KB giggled.
KGE suppressed her laugh.
LMH closed his eyes and sighed.
"Mianhae, Bumieyah...I didn't think of those first aids. You're right. I was too irritated by your presence this morning!" LMH glared and pouted at KB, who grinned ear to ear now.
KGE smiled in glee at her cute boyfriend. How could she not love this adorable big baby boy? He could act very mature and reliable at a time, but he could be a spoiled and silly old boy most of the time.
She giggled in glee.
"Yaaahhh...is there something funny now, baby?" LMH glared at her.
"You are funny, sanbaenim...you are the cutest!" KGE pulled LMH's head closer to hers. Their faces were an inch away now. KB turned his head out to the dashboard window as his cheeks getting flushed. These two birds were too sweet to see.
"And Bumie sunbae was right; you forgot things..." KGE grinned.
"Yaaah...What now?"
"I bet you were just too focus on your painful leg...and it's forgiven."
"Aigoo...what is it now, baby?"
KGE kissed LMH's nose and smiled brightly.
"Don't tell me it's because I am old again!" LMH pouted.
"Hahaha...that's one thing, for sure..." KGE kissed his cheek.
KB tried to busy himself with his phone now.
"What is it now that I forgot?" LMH stared at KGE's twinkled eyes.
"You don't know? You really didn't see it?" KGE questioned him as she wrapped his neck in her arms.
She shook her head and chuckled.
"Yah...Don't play enigma with me now...I am a great old grannie...remember?"
"You are, sanbaenim..."
"What is it? Now or never!"
KGE just smiled and didn't answer him.
She kept playing with his hair; she stroked him tenderly.
LMH frowned. He waited for KGE's answer.
"Baby...are you going to answer me or not?"
"KB-sshi...can you help me answer my forgetful old boyfriend?"
KB turned his head to the two love birds whose faces were only an inch away. He gulped. If it were a scene in some drama, he wouldn't be this nervous. But this was a real scene of love that was so strong and resonated with every heart.
"How can I help you, KGE-sshi?" KB decided to play along with this adorable girl.
"What do you see now?"
"What do you mean, KGE-sshi?"
"What do you see in front of your eyes..."
"Ah...It's a couple...with faces only an inch away..."
"Aigooo...That's all you see?" KGE glared at him.
"Ah...what else then? The girl is pretty and sweet..." KB chocked.
LMH turned his head to the flustered KB.
"Yaah...watch your words!" LMH warned him with a deep and solemn voice.
"It's true...isn't it?" KB winked rather than feeling guilty.
"Don't try me, Bumieyah!" LMH gritted his teeth.
KGE giggled.
"Arasseo...what else then?" KB tried to find anything to say rather than praising KGE's beauty. His eyes tried to look for something beyond KGE's happy face.
And there he saw it.
He could felt his heart sank.
He never thought the feeling would be this overwhelming.
"Yaaahh...BUMBUM sonyeon! What is it?" LMH spoke impatiently.
KB swallowed hard and tried to speak.
He didn't know how to describe the feeling.
"Baby Gon wears your ring, hyeong..."

Writer's note:
Hello, my dearest friends and readers.
I can't describe how happy I am to finally updating Jamanchu today.
The real-life errands were all I got as my only alibi.
I hope this chapter lights your hearts with the hope and prayers for our beloved couple who seemed to be so silent.
Just keep loving and supporting them.
And let us be happy with whatever they do, and they feel in their real-life.
With love and warmest Jamanchu hug,
SAL
