remembering charms and pendants

eight years of tears and longing, of fears and misunderstanding, of firsts and happiness, and of love.
a series of chronological one shots of the elusive 'afterward.'

Finally, the day for the flight back had arrived. Daddy was sobbing uncontrollably, holding on to both his daughters, Hye Mi was blank, Hye Sung was characteristically smug.

(Really, Dad, you have no right to cry. Why don't you go back and pay your debts to Ma Doo Shik?" The olderman sputtered, and eventually left them in a huff. "If you wait till we board, I'll ask the airport people to bring you with us." It was a patently empty threat, but…you never knew with Hye Sung. She had his wily mind, after all…)

"Why'd Dad leave?" Hye Mi asked, but her sister just shrugged, hiding giggles behind both hands.

That was when she heard his voice call out, "Hye Mi-ah."

Two chapters today, because, yes, the last one was awfully short, even for me.

Well! Dedicated to Pandalec, ria89, NotSoDaddy'sLittleGirl03 and Nat. Pandalec, thanks! What praise to be considered canon already. And that makes sense-that DH2 runs in another parallel universe of DH. Hmm. ria89, got it! And NotSoDaddy'sLittleGirl03, AU means alternate universe.

I still think we have a bit of time before Suzy's cameo (that is, if she will cameo, it's taking a long time for that) so. We'll just cross that bridge when we get there? Heh. What do you think? Thanks everyone!
