Compassionately In Love (Scenario Number Five)

This is for Ate Sue... it didn't come out as I expected, in short, I think it's crappy...hehe. What's your verdict?



The month of her birthday...

She's having late lunch with her Infinity girlfriends in one of those posh restaurants in Seoul, it's not that they are keen on a swishy lifestyle but being celebrities as they are, hanging out in places like this is the safest choice. Shin Young and Bong Sun, like always, were bantering on minute details of their lives, Boram tried to butt in numerous times but she's always hush to silence, Ga Eun was her usual quirky self while Eunee was stuffing her mouth, giving casual grunts towards the noisy members from time to time, she, on the other hand was having a text message marathon with her man.


Message 1 (from the man) - Having fun with your friends?


Reply 1 (from the woman) - Yes, I am! Where are you?


Message 2 - Good to know, what's for lunch? Still here, we just finished playing, I scored!


Reply 2 - Lunch is a smorgasbord of food that we want to try, keke. Really? How many?


Message 3 - I think, I can picture what you and the rest of the gang order and I bet, you have the busiest and noisiest table in the resto, kekeke. I scored three today, aren't you proud of me?


Reply 3 - Yes, we have! That's why it's fun hanging out with my friends unlike with some guy I know, LOL. Of course I'm proud of you and I'll forever be proud of you, even if you score zero in every soccer game that you play. :)


Message 4 - I'm beaming and blushing here, kekeke. Oh, which of your guy friends are you talking about :) and the guys, my guys, want to meet up and have dinner with you if you have a free time, they said they miss you and they keep bugging me, they're actually forcing me to give you a call, but of course I won't, I don't want them talking gibberish with you, LOL.


Reply 4 - LOL, touche! Tell them that I'll even cook for them one of these days, I just need to sort out my schedule and you, you should be nicer to those guys, you had three goals today, remember. And why are you blushing mister, I haven't done or said anything blush-worthy yet, hmm...


Message 5 - I can't help thinking about our Bali trip last month, those endless nights of... Are you blushing yet, my dear?

Reply 5 - Yah! Stop!


Message 6 - Hahaha, beautiful memories! When shall we do that again?


Reply 6 - As if you're ever free of things to do and schedules to meet... I think it'll be ages before we can go someplace together again.


Message 7 - I know but I'll make a way, it'll be sooner than you think.


Reply 7 - I, already, know that, I just want to hear it from you or in this case read, keke.

Message 8 - I have to take a shower now, wanna join me?

Reply 8 - Yah, what has gotten into you? Let me think about it... hmm... sure, keke.

Message 9 - I wish you are here or I am there or we're together somewhere so we can... aish, now, I really need to shower, a cold one at that. Can I call you later or you'll be busy still?

Reply 9 - I'll send you a message when we're done. Go and take a shower now, be sure to dry your hair, okay, I don't want you to get sick. Oh yeah, where are you headed to?

Message 10 - Arasso! Rehearsals...

Reply 10 - Local or international?

Message 11 - Both, kekeke. If anyone read your last message, they'll think you're asking me about mail or phone calls, LOL. Going to shower now... talk to you later...

She had been texting for more than a quarter of an hour, taking in a few bites in between but she never, really, bothered to see what's happening around her. So when she looked up after that last message, she was stunned to see her friends all looking at her with an amused look and teasing smiles.

"What?" she asked, a little red in the face.

"Love, love has come my way..." they all sang in response.

She looked at the five women incredulously, rolled her eyes and they all began to laugh in chorus. Their boisterous laughter and happy jeering was hold to a halt when her hand phone made a beeping sound. She looked at her gal pals and realized that they were all waiting for her next action... and reaction, she believed.

Message 1 - I'm heading off... I love you!

She was forcing herself not to smile but what can she do, her heart's doing a happy dance and every nerve in her body signals her brain that a smile was appropriate at that moment, she sighed, 'does anyone ever won a battle with their hearts?' She, then, allowed herself to bathe in the glow of that message and let her smile grew wider and brighter.

Reply 1 - I think... I love you more!

Her friends just looked at her and silently wish that they'll be able to experience that much love soon.

---------------------

A week before her birthday...

It was one of those days that he was able to sneak in a visit at her house, it was one of those times that he has a few hours to spare to play with her. She admits that they don't spend much of their time together , first, because of their work and second, because of their line of work but when they manage to see each other, they always make sure that it's a time that they'll always remember, they always make it a point to create happy memories. It doesn't have to be grand or full of laughter, they can sit beside each other without uttering a single word but in their hearts, they are happy. They can watch the sunset, they can hold hands, they can eat a simple meal, they can read a book, they can watch TV, they can listen to music, or they can just lie down and stare at the ceiling and still they'll be full to the brim in happiness. She doesn't know how to describe it but she believes that it is LOVE.

They were sitting in her couch, watching some overrated English movie while munching on some pizza and drinking some beer, she told him that she'll cook dinner the moment he told her that he's coming over but he told her off, saying he had other plans - yes, pizza and beer was his plan, didn't she say that they find happiness in the simplest of things *grins*.

"So, how are we going to celebrate your birthday?" he nonchalantly asked.

"Let's not. Just a simple dinner with my family will be alright, I think my friends might have a little plan of their own but I'll schedule it a day before or after my birthday so we can spend the whole of my special day together," she lengthily answered.

"But, I want to throw a party... you're turning 30, we should celebrate in a grand way."

"No, we don't! I'm getting a year older, why should I celebrate that? You really want me to get old that fast?" she said with a pout.

"Hahaha, you're so cute, how can General Hwangbo be so cute, without even trying," he teased. He pinched both her cheeks and gave her a loud smack on the mouth, "Mwaaah!"

She pouted some more and then started to laugh, "It's my birthday so, I should be free to do what I want!"

"Yes, it is your birthday, but I am the man who loves you, so I should be free to show you and the rest of the world at least 0.01% of how much I love you, right?"

"Okay, okay, you win! Aish... but I don't want a big celebration, a simple one with my family and close friends as guests will be enough and yeah, if you want to invite some of your friends, you can do so, but only those that I like, deal?"

"Deal! Shall we seal it with a kiss?"

He did not expect any answer and he didn't need one, he touched his lips on hers, sensually teasing, coaxing and when she moaned in response, he claimed his prize, he plunged in and savor her taste.

-------------------

The day of her birthday...

It's almost four in the afternoon but the audacious man still hadn't call her, she had been trying to reach him but his phone was turned off. The last time they talked, he said that he was on his way home but it had been eighteen hours ago and he hadn't made contact since then. Oh, this man, her sweet, loving, audacious man.

He had been in Japan for three days because of some TV guesting and magazine photo shoots, but as far as she knows, though, he wasn't in Korea, he was still able to push through with his planned birthday party. The whole event was put under her radar as he wants to surprise her, so the only thing she knows is that there will be a party today, and she's hoping it is as simple as she wants it to be, somewhere in Seoul. Even her so-called friends wouldn't let her in on the secret, and so, she let them be, if you can't beat them, join them.

But now that the hour is near and he was still nowhere in sight, she kinds of feel jittery and a little anxious, 'Oh where could he be? He's been silent for a while now?'

She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a commotion outside her door, followed by voices she knew too well, calling her name.

"Hye Jung-ah, why aren't you ready yet? We have to be there before six, the celebrant shouldn't be late on her own celebration," Eunee said.

"Yah! We went here to pick you up, not dress you up," Boram told her haughtily.

"Did he call you yet? I have been waiting and have been trying to contact him but his phone is off... I don't wanna go to a party that he pushed me into without him by my side," she said, concern was evident and a slight stubbornness was hinted.

"Of course, he'll be there, he just have a detour of sorts, how can he miss it when he worked his ass off to pull this event together."

'And the money he spent is not a joke, either,' Eunee added as an afterthought.

"Hurry up and put on that dress, he specifically chose that one, didn't he? The boy got style..."

Though she was still fazed and unwilling, she was forced to get dressed, was dragged to the car by two Herculean-women and was hoodwinked to agree to being blindfolded on the way.

She felt the car stop, she felt her friend's hands on her arms and head ushering her out of the car, and by the greetings and the sounds that she can decipher, they are in a hotel. After a few minutes in the elevator, her friends escort her to an empty room, there was no sound or any movement, so she concluded that it was empty. She was pushed to sit on a cushioned chair and was order to stay still, and though, she doesn't like to be manhandled, she decided to go all the way, she already caved in, she might as well do it in full.

"Aish... these people are... I'm going crazy here..."

She knew it the moment he came, it has always been like that, there's this invisible gadget that is embedded on her being that signals her everytime he is near. Her skin tingled the minute he laid his hands on her and she felt freedom, a second after the blindfold was taken off. She kept her silence until her eyes adapt to her surroundings, she kept her silence until she can see him clearly, she kept her silence until she had her fill of him and she kept her silence until she felt her heart and nerves calm down, 'He's here, he's finally here!'

"Yah! What is this?" she feigned irritation.

He just smiled and kept on holding her hand.

"I told you that I wanted to celebrate my birthday with you, just with you and my family but you pester me into having a party, and now, it seems like you've only given me false hopes. Aish... what kind of surprise is this?"

"You're so cute when you're throwing tantrums, noona." He kissed her full on the lips and then asked, "Did you miss me, coz I miss you so."

"Noona???" she asked incredulously. "What..."

He kissed her again, a little longer this time.

"Hush, Hye Jung-ah, the party's about to start."

A sudden flash of light caught her attention, she later realized that she was seated in front of a huge flat screen TV. She looked sideways, to the man beside her, urging him to explain but he just smiled. A minute later a scene she was unprepared for came into view, her whole Compassion family together with a number of kids from all the orphanages and institutions in Korea that they support were on the screen singing and wishing her a happy birthday. Cha In Pyo, in the name of the whole group, greeted and thanked her for the wonderful event that she and her man prepared for all the kids.

"In lieu of drinking, dancing and partying the night away on your birthday, you decided to give these kids a memorable day, instead. Yunho-sshi was the one who planned and initiated this whole event, renting the entire Lotte World for a whole day so that these kids and us kids at heart can play and create wonderful memories, I am, we all are very thankful. I know that Yunho-sshi made all these possible just to make you happy and I sincerely hope that he succeeded. I am thankful for all the support that you have given our organization and please send our heartfelt appreciation to the man beside you. Marry him already, and have lots of kids, who I am sure will inherit both of your goodness and righteousness, as well as your beautiful genes, hahaha. Again, happy birthday and we wish you both the best! HwangBo Hye Jung and Jung Yunho, may God bless you more!"

"Happy birthday! We love you!" they all said collectively before the scene changed to different shots of kids playing around the amusement park, full of glee and wonderment.

She didn't know when her tears began to fall, she was just so happy, not just because they were able to give those children a day of complete enjoyment and happiness but, more so, because she finally found the man who will be her partner, who will be beside her in trying to make the world a better place to live in for those children. What more can she ask for.

She didn't realized that he was standing in front of her until he wiped her tears, "Don't cry my dear, I didn't do that to make you cry so don't make me regret what I did. And there's more, how can you see it if your vision is blurry... now, stop crying and watch."

The scene was an aerial shot of Lotte World, giving her glimpses of the children and her Compassion family as they ran and play in their red 'Made in Heaven' t-shirts. As she watched, a scene overlap took effect, now showing an aerial shot of a party in a roof deck, in an effort to see whose party it was, she squinted and looked closely but she didn't have to do that for long because the camera zoomed in and she saw her family and friends having a blast on their own, most were seated on their tables busy eating their dinner, others were dancing on the makeshift stage, while her closest of friends were busy mingling and entertaining the crowd. And then Song Eunee, Park Choong Jae and Shim Tae Yoon came into view -

"Yah, finish what you're doing there and come out here already, your guests are all waiting!"

"I was pulled out of my weekend rest to attend a party, but now, it turned out that I'm to work as a host, you have to pay my talent fee in full Hye Jung-ah!" Shimty joked.

"The kid beside you cajoled us into doing all sorts of things just to surprise you, so you better be happy, arasso?" Junjin forcefully told her. "Now, hurry up and come up here so you can blow your cake and we can paint the roof deck red," he added with a wink.

The three waved in unison and the shot changed to give her a better view of the party and the people who are eagerly waiting for her. The screen was then cut into half, to show the events that were taking place in two different locations - in Lotte World and in the hotel roof deck, both of which are her birthday surprises.

Just when she thought that her heart will soon explode due to ecstasy, the light turned on and their dinner was served. She looked at the handsome man in front of her with awe, her eyes showing the gratefulness that she's feeling and her smile telling the volumes of love that she wants to give but before she can speak her mind, he presented her with another gift - a set of jewelries encrusted with her birthstone, peridot. She was once again speechless and he was just there, smiling shyly at her, as if he hadn't done anything huge or worthy. When she regain her senses, she stand up and rushed to his side hugging him tight, letting him feel all that she wants to say just by her embrace.

The hotel staff that were serving them, quietly left the room as they witness the scene, they all agreed that the couple needed the privacy to settle whatever emotions they had at that moment.

"Do you think your guests can wait a little while longer?" Yunho asked as he freed himself from her embrace, and looked at her passionately.

"Uhmm, I guess so, wae?" Hwangbo murmured while tracing his lower lip, his jawline down to his neck.

He lift her up from his lap, stand up and carry her to bed.

"I have another gift in mind so they just have to wait," he said flirtatiously.



Author's Note: What do you think is the last gift? :)

  10. At first I thought it was a JOONGBO FF but when I saw the name of Yunho... hay naku grabe umariba ang pagiging Yunho-lover ko hahaha. I hope gumawa ka pa ng maraming HB-Yunho FF. Bagay din naman sila and Yunho seems to be so kind and generous as our beloved Hwangbo.
