Fanfiction - A Failure Chapter 01

1st Chapter

A Young Woman’s POV

I drive my red sport car. I know my destination. I have no doubt, but I’m full of worries.

I arrive in front of a classical café, Betrayer Space. I park my car, and walk to the building. I haven’t been inside it when I find a familiar face from the French window. I stop for a moment, and decide to walk inside the building afterward. Not far away from the front door where I’m in, I can see the same familiar face I saw from outside. That person, the one I know, is talking to a crying woman. Again, I decide to walk toward them.

Auhor’s POV

“Gain, we have… have to break up like this, I’m sorry.” The man said. He is holding his tears.

“I know, Jung Soo. I have to let you go. We have to break up.” The girl answered. She is unable to hide her tears. Still, she is trying to give a smile. A bitter smile.

Now, I’m next to their seats, staring. It is when he realizes my existence.

“Shin Hye-ya??!” Jung Soo said.

“Oppa, Jung Soo Oppa??!” Shin Hye said. As if she wants to confirm that the man in front of her is really him, her fiancé, Park Jung Soo.

“Shin--- Shin Hye-a…, she is…” his words are faltered.

“Your girl, I’m sure. Why don’t you tell me?”

“I’m sorry. I just…” He stops when he sees her tears are falling.

“You should have... told me.” She said.

Shin Hye's POV

“Appa, I can’t marry with him.”

“What are you talking about Hye-ya?” my mother responds.

“Why?” now it is my beloved father. Totally shocked.

“I just… just don’t want to. No any longer.” I answered.

“What is this?? I’m sure you love him. Did you two fight?” My mother asked me, caring.

“Ani. I did love him. I just realize, I don’t love him any more. And…”

 I can feel the pain on my left cheek. It’s my father who slapped me. His face is red because of anger.

“Cancel your marriage??! Don’t play such a stupid joke! I have agreed with your spoilt will. Everything has been settled for your marriage. And suddenly you want to cancel it all? Because you don’t love him anymore? Are you drunk?” Dad shouts out his anger. It’s not the first time, but I can’t even remember when the first time is. It has been so long ago.

“No. I’m not drunk, Appa. I can’t marry a man I don’t love. Please, cancel it… ” I said, or you can say, begging. My voice is so low, but I know they heard it.

“Hye-ya, if something bad happens between you two, tell us! We will find a way to solve it. Cancel it is not the right way.”

“Omma, really, I won’t marry him. I can’t … .” My guard is broken. I fall kneeled on the floor. Tears that I hold in from the café, it falls unstoppable now.

“Hye-ya! Wae geurae? Don’t make your mom and dad puzzled.” Mom embraces me tight now. No word comes out from my mouth. I’m crying in my mom’s embrace. Then, I feel my dad’s hand on my shoulder.

“Let’s talk tomorrow. Appa has called Mr. Park, and we will meet them tomorrow.” My dad’s last words before he left my room.

“Hye-a, take a rest! Just sleep.” Mom tell me while kisses my forehead softly. Then, she follows Dad to out of my room.

“Oppa, I love you, really….” She whispers to no one.

Author’s POV

“Now, tell us what the problem is?” Mr. Jung opens conversation. Jung Soo, Shin Hye, and their parents are here, in a Korean Restaurant. They seat in the private room.

“I can’t marry with him, Aboji. I’m going to fly to German on Saturday. I want to fulfil my delayed dream. Mianhae Aboji, Omoni.” Shin Hye answered, almost without expression.

“Shin Hye, but why you have to cancel the wedding? You can marry and go there after few days.” Mrs. Jung said while holding Shin Hye’s left hand. Yeah, Shin Hye is close to both Jung Soo’s parent. They love her, just like their own daughter.

“We always love you. We always dream of you two as a couple. Why did you agree at first if you want this now? Jung Soo, don’t you love him?” Mr. Jung asks. He can’t hide his disappointment. Shin Hye’s like a daughter she never have.

“I do, but I want to focus on my career. I’m really sorry, Aboji.”

“Hye-a, why do you make all of this difficult? Jong Soo will let and help to fulfil your dreams, as your husband. Cancel your wedding is too much, since you two love each other.” Mrs. Park said. Trying to talk out of cancelling their wedding.

“Mianhae, Aboji, Omoni, Omma, Appa. I want to go to German, and cancel the wedding. Sorry for being so selfish. I know you may not want to see me again after this.”

It is so quiet. No one talk. They’re drowning in their own thought. Not until Jung Soo stands up and bows deeply.

“Ajhussi, Omonim, this is my entire fault. Shin Hye didn’t do anything wrong.”

“What do you mean?” Shin Hye’s father for the first time in their meeting, speaks.

“Oppa… .” Shin Hye said.

“It’s okay, Shin Hye. I have a girlfriend, and I agreed to marry Shin Hye. I keep meeting her without Shin Hye knowing. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have agreed with the marriage at the first place. I should have told you about the woman I date for two years. I’m sorry, chongmal Cheosong hamnida!” Jung Soo just lift up his upper body, release from bow, when he immediately feel heat on her left cheek.

“So, Shin Hye was trying to take the responsibilities of your fault. How can it be? Another woman. You embarrassed me Han Jung Soo!” his father yells at him, standing.

“Aboji. I came with this myself. It’s not Jung Soo Oppa who’s asking me to.” Shin Hye said, crying.

“I think, there is no need to be here any longer. I’m sure that it’s clear that the wedding is cancelled. Yeobo, Shin Hye, let’s go out here! Palli!”

“Appa, don’t be like this. We have to clear things up. Appa?”

“Don’t talk! Just go out here, I can’t see his face any longer.”

“Aboji, Omoni, I’m sorry! Cheongmal mianhae!” Shin Hye said and followed her parents. They disappear, and leave the other family inside the room.

“You, really disappoint me, Han Jung Soo!”

“Aboji, I know you love her. You two love her. I’m sorry.”

“If you don’t love her, why did you accept this? Two weeks are left to your wedding, and this is all you gave us.”

“Omoni, Mianhae. Chongmalyo, mianhaae.” Jung Soo shed no tears. Totally different to his mother, she’s crying. She has been waiting for years, for their happy wedding. She always thinks of the day when Shin Hye can officially become her daughter. Now it will be only a dream, forever. Seeing his beloved wife is crying, Mr. Han hold her by the arm. They leave Jung Soo all alone.

Shin Hye’s POV

“Appa,,,”

“You lied for him. You lied for a man who dates another woman when he acts as your fiancé. How long were you going to conceal it?”

“Appa… I’m sorry for lying. I just don’t want Aboji and Omonim know the truth. I thought it will be better if I say…”

“What? For their sake? You made me think of my own daughter as a bad young woman. You know how much dad held in the embarrassment of what you’re saying before?”

“I’m sorry Appa. Omma. Really, I’m sorry.”

“I want to take a rest.”

“Ye, Appa.”

“Shin Hye-a,,,”

“De?”

“Kyuhyun is back today. This morning he send me a message.”

“De, Appa. I’m going to meet him just now.”

“Be careful!” Is only saying that her mother said before she accompanies her husband to their bedroom.

Author's POV

A boy walks lazily to a room as the lift opens. His apartment is quite simple to a representative of co-pilot like him. He walks in, turn on the light, and lay down on a sofa straightaway. It is before he feels a soft exhale blows his face. He immediately wakes up, looking backward.

“Yak! Park Shin Hye!”

“Wkwkwk… your expression is so funny. You don’t think I’m a ghost, do you?”

“I think you’re one. How did you know my room’s code?”

“It’s your fault to use that code. Too easy.”

“Again? I’ve changed it seven times!!!”

“Oh,,, Cho Kyuhyun-ssi, you’re too easy to guess. Don’t ever use a birth date as password. Old-fashioned namja!”

“You, what are you doing here? It’s almost 9 pm.”

“Blame an old-fashioned man who comes home this late! I’ve been here for five hours.”

“Bwo?? Why do you wait here for so long? You can go for a walk as always.”

“I don’t have energy to do shopping or take a peek on good looking boys. Hey! You smell. Get up and take a bath first.”

“Yak! Shin Hye Agashi, this is my private room. I bought this by my own. You always order me to do this and that every time you come.” He said. He walks into his bedroom, and Shin Hye can hear the shower sounds. She only smile and go to the kitchen counter. She puts some cookings on the counter.

“Kyu?? If you finish, come out and let’s have dinner.” She yelled behind the boy’s bedroom.

15 minutes later…

“Chaa!! I’m pretty sure that you’ve having dinner somewhere. Hence, I have cooked you all of your favourite cooking. This is the plate.”

“You… come here just to make dinner for me?”

“Yupz… .”

“Liar!!”

“Just eat, Cho Kyuhyunssi!!”

“Otthae? Masissoyo?”

“Mmm… err.. as usual. I’m finish. Tell me!”

“Hmn??”

“Tsk… I know you. What happened?”

“Finish these all first. I’ll tell you after that.”

“Bwo? You ask me to finish a bowl of tomatoes soup, a glass jar of kimchi, three toasted tuna, and a full bowl of sautéed squids. Just tell me now.”

“I’m watching!! Geunyang meog-eo, Kyuhyunssi!”

8 minutes later…

Shin Hye’s POV

“I finish. I mean I really can’t finish it up. Tell me!” He said as he sits beside me on the sofa.

“I’m going to leave Korea. I’ll live in German.”

“Hmn… really? So, you and Jung Soo Hyung are going to live there? Waah… “

“I’m alone.”

“How dare you leave your husband and leave alone there.”

“We are… over.”

“…”

“Kyu, I bought and stored a lot of food-stuffs. Cook and eat delicious food. I go now.”

“I’ll see you home.”

“No need. You must be very tired. Bye!”

“I say I’ll bring you home.”

“And I said no need, Cho Kyuhyunssi. It’s enough I can say this to you myself. It’s Saturday, see me go off if you have break time. Anyeong!”
