Chae Young Shin
When she woke up, she was already in a very happy mood. She quickly got up and starts to her ready. Since she was going that was a bit warmer, she decided to hear a blue sweater dress piece with white tights and long boots. It was a bit fancy for outdoors but today was the day she was meeting her boyfriend's mother who can blame her. She made sure to wear her necklace and took a small make up kit, she would ask her Omma for help when she needed to apply it.
TODAY WAS THE DAY. Her father and uncles were finally meeting her boyfriend in his true form and she will meet his mother. The part that she was looking forward to it the most was seeing Jung Hoo again. She will be able to spend time with him properly; something she hadn't done since the day she was held captive by that psycho Secretary. Making sure she had everything, she exits her room, singing DBSK's Hug since it reminded her of him; she went downstairs with her luggage to have breakfast with everyone.
Contrary to her good mood, the 12 males were bracing themselves for battle. When the Ajusshis heard that she was dating, they all were at the cafe by the next morning, dying to get information about Jung Hoo out of everyone present. She didn't say anything about Jung Hoo, she want to see the faces of her ex-convict uncles when her "namja chingu" surprised them. She had spent the time that all 12 males were going over battle plans in her Appa's office, talking to her Omma and Sunbae getting to know them better, hearing stories about her early childhood which she did not remember. Whenever she had time, she called Jung Hoo, since she missed him, though she made sure she was hidden from her Appa and Ahjusshis. No way was she having another conversation with her adorable boyfriend on speaker phone. Jung Hoo seemed to be aware of the differences in her behavior, he was too smart when it came to her as he was observant, and he said that he will wait till they meet to talk to her like he wants to. Those quick calls just made her miss him and his presence more so she was very impatient to see him when they arrived at the cottage..
At the café, waiting for their ride
By 8 in the morning, everyone was present at the cafe, along with their sleepover bags. Young Shin stood next to her Omma and Sunbae looking at the gang of grown men in front of her who seemed to be getting ready for war. The 11 uncles all had knives, chains, locks, or sticks that they have packed. Chae Chi Soo was in full lawyer mode with his bag filled with papers. In one of those papers was the list of questions that Lawyer Chae had drawn up for that name-voice-changing individual and he would make sure to get all of them answered no matter what.
(AJ means Ahjusshi, sorry I haven't thought of names yet for the 10 ahjusshis. I am open to suggestions for names as well as possible crimes they were convicted of. Café Ahjusshi will be Chul Min from now on to avoid confusion)
CYS: Appa, Ahjusshis, aren't you over going it? You are meeting a person today not going to battle
Chul Min: Young Shin-ie, you do not understand men, so you can't understand why we are doing this.
AJ.1: Yeah, Young Shin-ah. You don't know the type of competition that exists between men
CYS: I may not know about men but isn't bringing that many weapons unfair. I know something about justice. You are looking at a reporter here, a reporter of justice.
KMH: Chae Young Shin, forget about it. You know that he can handle himself. Just think about your friends' surprised faces then the anger will pass
AJ.2: Young Shin-ah, is it true that you choose a wimp? Just why choose him?
AJ.3: We told you how important it is for a pretty girl like you to have a strong man.
AJ.4: You need a man that can fight and can protect you.
AJ.5: That guy has to have some skills, enough to take care of common thugs
Chul Min: We didn't ask for an amazing fighter Young Shin-ie, just someone that has enough skills so he can at least properly defend you when you are in a tight spot
AJ.6: Personally I would love if Young Shin's man would be someone like Healer
KMH: Healer?
AJ.7: Oh you will probably not know him, Reporter-nim. He is quite the legend in his field.
AJ.6: I know that it is impossible to ask for a man with Healer's fighting ability to be our girl's man but why a wimp?
AJ.8: I heard from Hyungnim that he who stammers and whimper after getting hit once.
AJ9: Why would you even like a guy like that Young Shin-ie? Did you fall for his face?
AJ.10: It is impossible to get someone like Healer for our Young Shin-ie. But why a stammering idiot that too a name-changing one like Chul Min Hyung and Hyungnim said.
AJ.6: What won't I give for this idiot to be changed into someone like Healer? It will be impossible right?
As all the ahjusshis nods, both Moon Ho and Young Shin starts laughing, at the irony of the situation. Moon Ho wondered if all of the males were forgetting the fact that Jung Hoo had fought off thugs in front of them, based on what he heard, and just focused on Park Bong Soo's behavior. Just thinking about the surprise waiting for these men, made Moon Ho start to laughing harder, joining Chae Young Shin who had started to laugh harder and harder
Appa: Yah what happened, why is Young Shin and her Samchoon laughing like a pair of hyenas? Wae?
KMH: I'm sorry Abonim. It was what this Elder said right now….hhahahahah….I'm sorry just what was being said about Young Shin's boyfriend….Just the irony of the statement….(tries to catch his breath) Yah, Chae Young Shin. Control yourself, stop laughing now. Just take deep breathes
CYS: Ahahahahaha...I'm sorry...hahhahahahha…I'm sorry Sunbae…..just that Ahjusshis saying that…Healer is the ideal boyfriend for me...he is a wimp and not Healer...hhhhhhahahahha….I can't stop laughing it is too funny…hhahahha…I will try to stop (laugh slowly turns into chuckles)
AH.5: Yeah Young Shin-ah, how is that funny? Even if your boyfriend beat up those burglars, like your father said and is not completely helpless. It doesn't change the fact that he is a wimp
AJ. 7: Your man just knocked out 3 guys, completely different from Healer who is rumored to have done against 20 Double S guards when he is in top form
That sentence once again set off Young Shin's laughter which spread through the cafe. Just as Young Shin bend forward clutching her stomach which had started to hurt and tries to get her breather back, a man and a woman (around Dae Yong's age) dressed in jumper and jeans entered the cafe. The moment they saw Young Shin holding onto her stomach, they run towards her, pushing past the men that have crowded around Chae Young Shin, concerned since she seems to have trouble getting her breather back. The girl reaches Char Young Shin's side first, so she quickly took a chair from nearby and makes Young Shin sit down, helping her calm down. On the other hand, the man joined the concerned men around Chae Young Shin and starts to calm them down. Moon Ho, after making sure that Noona won't worry, went to Young Shin's side, and takes her pulse to make sure she is fine. When Young Shin could breathe properly again, Moon whistles loudly to get everyone's attention.
KMH: Now everyone, Young Shin-ie is fine now. By the way, who are you two?
Girl: Hello, my name is Lee Yoo Na.
Boy: Hello, my name is Park Ji Pyo.
LYN: We are here to pick you guys up to go to the cottage. We are the drivers of the rented bus, and we came inside to call you guys out.
PJP: Noona, are you okay? Can you breathe fine now?
CYS: I'm fine. Thank you, do you work for Ahjumma too?
LYN: Yes we do, as a part-time. Unni, if you are ok now, let's start moving. Hyungnim is waiting for you.
CYS; Ok then, Appa, Ahjusshis, Omma and Sunbae, kahja. If we are late, the more bad the traffic is going to be.
Chul Min: Yes we should. You guys let's carry load luggage in to the bus.
PJP: No you don't need to that. We have workers here that will do that. Oh they are here. Kids, load the bus. (The two boys start to carry the luggage out) Now, let's go sit in the car. Ladies first, Eomonim, Noona.
Omma: Ok, then.
AJ.1: Before we go, a question? Why did you call our Young Shin-ie, your Noona?
AJ.3: Since when did she become your Noona?
AJ.5: Today is your first meeting, isn't that right?
LYN: She is our Hyungnim's girl. We have to show her proper respect.
CYS: Even you guys know? I didn't know that he would tell you guys. He didn't say anything to me about that.
PJP: It wasn't Hyung that told us, Boss did. By a mass text message to all the employees.
LYN: Dae Yong said that Hyung only found out recently.
CYS: So what did Ahjumma say about me? What was in that message?
LYN: Unni, I will tell you later on the drive. Let's go sit in the bus. Deal?
CYS: Alright. So Yorobun, let's go. To my first camping trip and to meet my "namja chingu"
1 day ago
Seo Jung Hoo was nervous. Of course he didn't show it but he was. He was going to tell his mother about his job as well as about his girlfriend. His mom would knew about Someday broadcast on his father and his friends, he knew that. Yesterday, Ahjumma saw his Omma crying while holding on to a set of photos with the Someday website open on her computer from the CCTV near her room. Jung Hoo knows that his Omma would starts to cry the moment she saw him, so he got a reservation in a private room at nice upscale Korean restaurant. Ahjumma had hatched into the system so that CCTV's voice recording function wouldn't work, all the employees would see would be a mother and son reuniting. There was a knock on the door, and his Omma entered followed by the waitress who left after saying to ring the bell when they want to order. The moment the door clicked shut, his Omma start to cry with her frame shaking. He rushes to her side, hugging her tightly while his Omma shed tears. His tears also starts to fall unconsciously, just glad that he was alive, his father's name was cleared and his mother can live without being scared now.
SJH: Omma...it is alright now...its alright
Omma: Jung Hoo-ah, our Jung Hoo..(holding Jung Hoo's face in her hands and looking at him with teary eyes)
SJH: Omma stop crying…it's ok now,,,, Hun, Appa will not like it (wiping away his mother's tears)
Omma: Your Appa...my Jung Hoo is so like him...our Jung Hoo-ah..(wiping away her son's tears)
SJH: It's ok Omma, we know the truth now, Appa was never a bad guy. He was just a loyal friend...so stop crying Omma...I'm here...I'm ok, so you will be too (hugging her tightly)
Omma: My child, when did you grow up to be so kind? (sniffing)
SJH: I was always sweet, you don't believe me? (holding her shoulders, smiling at her)
SJH's Omma: You were more the rebellious type, just like your father (also smiling)
SJH: Is that so?
SJH's Omma: Right
SJH: Alright if you say so. Omma let's sit (leading her to the table, sitting down then holding her hands)
Omma: Jung Hoo-ah, why are we meeting here today? We don't need any expensive meal to have fun, you know that
SJH: I know but today is a celebration
Omma: For What?
SJH: Appa's innocence as well as the day that I am finally free
Omma: Free?
SJH: Omma, now I can tell you everything. All the things that I did since grandmother died. How I lived, what did I do, and such. Also about someone special that I want you to meet
Omma: Is it ok to tell me? You know that you don't have to if you don't want to, I will never ask you that. But if I can know, I would love hearing it. So, who is this special someone? Jung Hoo-ah, do you have a "yeoja chingu"? (SJH nods, while smiling softly)You do huh? Who is she? what does she do?
SJH: I will tell you everything. But first, Omma do you want to go on a trip with me?
Omma: A trip where?
SJH: To this cottage near the forest.
Omma: Why there?
SJH: Actually my girlfriend's family members wants to meet me. Her father wants to see me again and her uncles want to test me if I am worthy for her. So do you want to go and meet my girlfriend? You can also meet my Boss and her parents as well.
Omma: You like her that much that you want to introduce me to her? I would love to meet the girl who stole my Jung Hoo's heart. So when is this trip?
SJH: Actually it is an overnight trip since she never went camping before, so I thought it could be a family trip and her Appa had to agree since he is there also.
Omma: My son is so sweet, so when is it?
SJH: We are going tomorrow. I know it is a short notice but Omma could you come? I will talk to your husband and ask him if you want. It is just for the weekend
Omma: No it's alright. I will ask him, I know that he will say yes.
SJH: Chincha. Komaho, Omma. I will pick you up tomorrow morning around 9 then. Omma, let's order. I will tell you about my life as we eat.
