Chapter four:
"Siwon can't we just go home?" Yeonsu whined. After half an hour of travel and atleast ten minutes of walking, they finally arrived at their destination. Standing infront of the old playground, the memories on that place started to flashback within Yeonsu's eyes in which made her fell into silence.
Siwon smiled at the same time seeing her like that. He wanted to remind her the memories they created and how it is slowly fading away because of their unsettled matters since the time they had the wife-husband relationship.
"Remember this place?" He finally said, breaking the silence between them.
"Ofcourse, how could i forget?" Yeonsu finally smiled as she recall her memories.
-Flashback-
A Freshman middle school student named Choi Siwon passed by at a playground. He was walking by when he stopped after he heard a sound of a girl crying. As he wander his eyes around as to where the sound might come from, he cornered a girl crying while sitting on a swing. She doesn't seem too young, maybe atleast his age. Having thoughts that maybe the girl might have been lost or something, he quickly approached her.
"Why are you crying? Are you lost or something?" The girl just stared at her.
"W-w-will y-you push m-me on t-the s-swing?" The girl stuttered and continued to sob. Siwon was abit confused but without any hesitation, he went to the back of the swing and pushed her up and down just like she asked. He tried to surpress his laughter, knowing how childish her reason for crying is.
Later, the girl started to smile and giggle. Seeing this, Siwon felt a little bit of relief in his heart.
"Don't cry again okay? Next time when you need someone to push you on this swing just tell me and i'd gladly do it. I promise." Siwon said to her and smiled, offering his pinky on her as a sign of promise, she curled hers and said, "Okay."
----
"You know, even until now, i still can't over the fact that you cried because no ones there to push you on the swing." He continued, "Doesn't that seem to.. shallow of a reason is?" Siwon asked, turning at her.
"Stupid!" She chuckled, "You know, from that time, i was really curious why you didn't asked about that. and right now, i realized that though we knew each other for too long now, you never really paid attention to some small but important details about me." Siwon fell silence after what she said. It was indeed true. He only knew her by what she would tell him and not really bother to ask her. He never questioned and so she never tell.
She tilted up her head to face him and sadly smiled, "It was because my brother died." Siwon's eyes widened in surprise. He never knew that she had a brother. He thought that she was an only child.
"When you saw me crying back then, It was after my brother was pronounced dead from his two weeks coma. I ran at that playground because i don't want the people around me to worry, especially my parents. And so i cried my heart out at this place."
"Y-your brother?" He found himself asking. She answered him with a nod. "Why did he die?"
"W-w-well, that is.." She sighed, "He was murdered."
"W-why?" he knew it was a kind of rude to ask her about it since it was one bad memory to recall, but he wanted to know. the last time he checked, she is still his wife, right? so it might not be a crime to ask personal things to his wife.
"I was in sreshman and he was a senior back then so which means he was three years older than me. To me, he was a caring, lovable and sweet brother. And as far as i know, to others, he wasn't. My classmates or even some of my sunbaes really envy me. They said i am really lucky that my brother really loves me and doesn't treat me coldly like he did to them. He was known as the sister-lover all over school. and because he was good looking and well- intelligent, alot of girls adored him." She continued, trying to hold back the tears that was threatening to fall.
"One night, my parents received a sudden call in the middle of the night, and a stranger from the other line informed them that my brother was stabbed four times... two in his chest, one in his stomache and the one at his back. With me tagging along, we instantly went to the emergency room there.. there.." Recalling the scene, she can't believe it still hurted. It was the most painful memory she can remember. Siwon pulled her in his embrace and tried to atleast stop her from sobbing. He wrapped her between his two muscular biceps. And after awhile, she slowly wrapped her hands around him too. She burried her face at his chest and tried to stop the flowing of her tears.
"Sshh. Sshh. I'm sorry that i had to ask. Just forget about it." He tried to comfort her.
"I just.." she tried to continue. Well- he was his husband and it was kind of his right to know about these matters. She let go of him, but he was stil holding her. "I.. t-the witness said that he was involve in a Gang fight. can't you believe it? my brother? In a gang fight? There was even a rumor that he was the dictator of a famous and notorious gang." She sarcastically laugh,
"I never believed them and never will I. Only i am the one who can know what my brother really is and what he is capable of doing, not them. Who they even think they are? Even until now, i don't know what had exactly happened that night though the police stated that it was because of a gang fight that my brother died." She managed to end the story. She wiped the remaining dried tears and looked straight at him, "Now you know."
Siwon pulled her into his hug again and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yeonsu no longer gave any respond. Her being on his embrace is enough. When both had let go, Siwon brushed her hair from her face and was about to kiss her forehead when a sudden ring interrupted them. Siwon sighed as he saw the name in the screen. Yeonsu walked two steps backward from him, having the idea of who the person in the other line might be.
"Hello hyung?"
"Oh Siwon, where are you?" Leeteuk said on the other line.
"Aaah, that.. I'm.. at home. Why?"
"Have you forgotten? It's manager hyung's birthday today. Can you go to the dorms right now? We're having a party for him." Leeteuk's voice started to sound excited.
"Aah.. Okay. But hyung, can i bring someone over?" He asked as he turned to Yeonsu.
"Okay. It's fine."
"Then see you later hyung."
"Bye." As Siwon hung the phone up, he walked forward to Yeonsu and winked at her.
"No." She said firmly. Siwon pouted and did aegyos to pursue her yet it doesn't seem to work. Siwon placed his hands on her shoulders and sighed, looking down. And after like a minute or two, he looked up again. He opened his mouth, threathening to say anything but before that, she continued her words, interrupting the things he was about to say. "Don't think about forcing me Siwon." She said as she glared at him.
"And also, don't even conclude that just because i told you the story will make me change my mind. It's firm and final." Siwon silently stood infront of her, trying to digest her words. "I still want a divorce." He sighed again. He thought it was working, he thought because she started to open up to him, she would stop with the divorce thing.
He slowly put his hands down and looked at her, "I thought you said you'll give me a last chance?"
"Siwon, you are the one who said that, not me. You didn't even ask me if i'll agree or not. And if your planning to ask me now, my answer is No. I already gave you alot of chances before." She said. It was as if a storm passed by at Siwon's expression. The hurt, the pain, the hope, all visible on one face.
"Let's just.. let's just go. Siyeon and Jiwon are waiting and you'll also have an early schedule tomorrow."
"How did you know?"
"Duh, i'm not your wife for nothing." She said as she tried to smile. well, atleast for now. she thought.
"But still, remember this, i'm not giving up." Yeonsu stared at him as he walked first.
I'm not giving up Yeonsu. Never. He thought.

"Oh, Siwon, i thought you'll be having someone to come and join with us?" Leeteuk asked when he saw Siwon entering alone.
"Well, that, she changed her mind." He said without glancing at him. when he arrived at the dorms, the party that the members did for their manager hyung almost ended. Some of them are even drunk already. the others went to their own schedules and some went to sleep early.
"So, that someone was a she." He pressed on him. He smirked when he saw him caught off-guard with his statement.
"Well-yeah, sure, whatever. So, how many bottles did these guys drank that they can't even be woken up?" He tried to change the topic of their conversation. He was now helping their evil maknae up and get him to bed.
"I don't know, maybe five or six something and stop changing the subject! Who is she? Do i know her?" Leeteuk, being intruiged of Siwon's lovelife, shot him continuous questions.
"Hyung, can you just leave my private matters to me and just help me with these?" He said as he pointed the other guys still lying on the floor and on the couch.
"So, do i know her?" Leeteuk smirked. He ignored Siwon's words. After helping him with Kyuhyun to bed, they are now trying to wake Kangin up.
"No." Siwon shortly replied, alittle pissed already. Since Kangin also can't be waken up and that he is too heavy for them to carry, they decided to just let him sleep at the couch he was lying tonight.
"Is she beautiful? When did she become your girlfriend?" Leeteuk teased further when he saw how irrated Siwon is now. Out of nowhere, Donghae popped out infront of them. "Really? Hyung has a girlfriend?" He turned to Siwon with expectant eyes. "Ohh? Who is she?" Eunhyuk added. That's right, Donghae and also Eunhyuk can't possibly be drunk because they don't really drink alcohol.
Siwon thought it would be best to ignore them but they kept on following him around the dorm. Starting to get impatient, he ruffled his hair and turned at them, "OKAY! I'LL TELL!" He almost shouted, fraustrated. Their eyes twinkled in delight. They four of them gathered at the dining table.
"What's her name?" Leeteuk asked first.
"Ch- So Yeonsu." He answered as he looked down, avoiding their gaze. He felt like he was a criminal being questioned by three police officers.
Leeteuk smiled yet the confusion in his eyes are visible. "So Yeonsu.. So Yeonsu.. where did i ever hear that name.." Eunhyuk mumbled under his breath, trying to familiarized himself with the name. Something flickered in his ears that he knew that name too well.
"Who's she? Is she a singer? an actress?" Donghae leaned at the table, smiling as he pressed the topic further.
"Neither in your choices. She is the only daughter of the So Corporation and Industries." Siwon said proudly. Ofcourse, his wife is rich and well- maybe famous because of their bussiness around Korea. Both of their family businesses are well known on Korea.
"REALLY? SO YEONSU?" Leeteuk's eyes widened.
They got even surprise with me knowing her. What'll be if they knew she is already my wife. Siwon thought to himself.
Eunhyuk stayed silent after what he heard. He couldn't believe his ears. It's been so long since he last heard about her. Sure her family would always appear on Televisions and Internet updates but never did they mention about her anymore. She really is Yeonsu.. Sungyeon's younger sister..
"Eunhyuk?" Donghae patted Eunhyuk's back to get his attention.
"What's wrong?" Siwon asked. Eunhyuk tried to smile. "Nothing, i just remembered something."
"So will you also agree?" Leeteuk smiled. "Agree to what?"
"Meet Yeonsu." Siwon turned at him, glaring his eyes at him and mouthing N-O at him.
"S-sure." Eunhyuk answered. The other two cheered.
"That's if she wants to." Siwon said under his breath, making him the only one to hear it.
