A day in their life (1/1)

Year 2 of marriageHe was in pain. More precisely, she was in pain and therefore she impacted some of the pain to him by biting him, he had thought the worst was over when she rattled a series of curse at him during the initial 2 hours of her pain, and she had calmed down, trying to apply techniques they learnt in the pregnancy class. Now, she chose to bit him to show him how much pain she was in, he knew her pain was much more than what he felt.He had to be thankful that his wife trimesters had been smooth, she just crazed for food she didn’t like before. Looking at his wife in pain, he didn’t know whether he had the heart to put her through a few more rounds, better to let her decide.He felt his wife let go off him, her bite marks clearly seen on his hands, a loud cry went off in the room, his vision blurred as the doctor handed him his new born son, he clumsily took over and showed his wife, she gave him a weak smile. They were now parents.Year 3 of marriageHe remembered he was in ecstasy when his wife decided she didn’t mind having more children. Now in the delivery room again, he endured what he had done before, first came the cursing, then the biting, his hand felt numb now after Ji Hyo had went through it for 15 minutes. But still he didn’t dare to withdraw his hand, he let his wife do whatever she pleased. His wife sighed a relief and let his hand go. Two cries filled the room as the doctor hand him his twins baby girls, they look so cute and pretty, both yawning at the same time. He knew they would be his previous gems after their mother in his heart. He brought the twins to show Ji Hyo. Ji Hyo took over one of the girls and look at her oppa,  they both smiled at each other.Year 5 of marriageHe wondered had he and Ji Hyo been too ambitious, here he was in the delivery room again, enduring the whole process, giving Ji Hyo whatever she wanted. The three kids were already a handful for Ji Hyo to handle, the twins were like superglue, sticking to Ji Hyo wherever she went. With this new add on, Ji Hyo will be even busier, spending even less time with him, he sighed, he had to suffer for his single instance of happiness. It not that he didn’t love his kids, he did and she did too, it just that they took up too much of her time and energy. He felt proud when the doctor passed him his forth kid, a son. He was a handsome little one, Oh well, Ji Hyo and him would need to manage better then. He showed his wife their son and he planted a loving kiss on her forehead.Year 9 of their marriageHe was feeling angry, he knew he shouldn't be but he couldn't help it. His wife was busy taking care of thier kids, he knew that but she had not forgotten so far and this was the first year she did. 10 more minutes and his birthday would be over and she slept like a log. He was frustrated, he had purposely rearrange his schedule to spend this day with his family, he didn't wanted any special things maybe a birthday song and cake, that all he asked but he waited the whole day, he had nothing.Should he wake her up, at least let her gave him a birthday kiss, but he knew she was tired, he saw how much work she put in to take care of their kids. Maybe he shouldn't ask too much, he sighed and trying to reason with himself. He was a reasonable man, but why at 49 he would turn unreasonable .. Not unreasonable, sensitive would be more apt.Maybe she would make up to him tomorrow, he hoped lying down. Suddenly, his phone alarm went off, he quickly reached out to silent it, afraid that it will wake up his wife, strange he hadn't set any alarm. He saw there's a video attached and he opened it, his four kids and wife were singing him happy birthday song, his children in perfect pitch, his wife a bit off. But he still found it cute as he glanced at the sleeping woman. There was also a note, "I bet you thought I forgotten and you are now sulking beside me, but I didn't, I tricked you oppa, your birthday present is under the bed. Happy birthday, my dear husband." He reached out under the bed and took out a box, gift wrapped. He opened it and saw Ji Hyo had found him the prefect dumbbell to bring out during tour. She had even sticked her kids and her photos on the dumbbell, he was smiling now, his wife remembered. He kissed his wife on her forehead and in response it seemed that she smiled at him. He saw the clock reached 12 before he drifted off to sleep. Year 18 of marriageJi Hyo was sulking, he knew it, but what was the reason, he didn’t know. But he knew he was the reason behind it. He tried to ask his four kids, all of them claimed that they didn’t know. Each one of them had been sensible and hided in their rooms doing quiet activities, in case, they became the target. Jong Kook was bluffed. He tip toed to the living room and sat down beside her. The minute he sat down, she stood up and started to prepare his dinner. He quietly sat down on the dining table and ate his dinner as his wife continued to brood in front of him.After the dinner, he volunteered to do the dishes. She disappeared into their room. He had a quick shower after the dishes and proceed to sit down beside her on the bed. He cleared his throat, carefully facing the unavertable, “Why are you angry dear?” he asked, feeling like standing high on a thin thread.She glared at him, her anger reached her boiling point. How can he not know!! His two small eyes had reflected his innocence, she picked up his hand and gave it a bite, she saw her husband swallow a yell and his face turned all shades of red. She felt better. “How many times did I have to tell you not to flirt with the female hosts during interviews and shows? The two ladies were simply drooling all over you!!! You know how I hated when they did that!”“Female hosts? What two ladies?“ Jong  Kook was trying hard which show he had been on had ladies drooling all over him, he had already tried to minimize all  this kind of interactions already, he always stand in between men.“And you forgot?”, tears were forming in Ji Hyo’s eye.“But I am quite sure I didn’t do that recently, not seem the last time you told me, I had already made sure I am clear of any ladies around me.” his head still trying to remember, his heart ached the moment he saw her tears.“It was that show!” she murmured, Jong Kook had prized that his hearing was good and that he managed to catch what she said.He felt he was been wronged by Ji Hyo but he didn’t dare to voice his grievance. He moved nearer to Ji Hyo and held her tight. He vowed he asked the PD not to have female guests on his show as for others he will ask Gap Jin to keep a look out for him.She felt good that he would do that but he shouldn’t. “Don’t do that Oppa, I would be ok. Please don’t let the PDs thought negative of you. I would managed.” Her tears were still sliding down. “You just make sure you stand between guys, ok?”He nodded, putting three fingers on his heart. His rough hand trying to wipe her tears away from her smooth face. “Ji Hyo, do I look young in the show?” he asked.“You always looked young and handsome, oppa” Ji Hyo was proud of her husband looks, she had a hand to make sure he looked the best.“I do, don’t I? like I never aged.” He smiled when he saw his wife was proud of him. “So did my beautiful wife” she smiled at him, she felt better and now she in the mood to make sure her oppa stayed handsome, it was contradicting but woman was a complicated animal.“Of course, I had personally taken care of your face for 20 years! It had to look young and handsome. Lay down, I need to put on mask for your face.” She excitedly took up her most precious mask and applied it on her husband carefully.Jong kook closed his eyes and smiled, he would remind her another day that the show was 10 years ago and the last time any ladies could stand beside him to drool at him. But for now, he would enjoy the loving care his wife had for him. Year 23 of marriageJong Kook and Ji Hyo were planning to meet their children for dinner, they didn’t understand why they couldn’t leave together from their house. The children had all sorts of excuses and arranged to meet them at the restaurant instead. The only place the children would follow their car is to visit relatives or going to airport. They wouldn’t even want to sit near them in the planes.“You were too flashy,” they had said. “It’s embarrassing that all the people wanted your autographs, photos and we just stand around like props. We will take care of ourselves, don’t worried.” They had insisted. The parents could do nothing since the children had organized a meeting to iron the rules. Jong Kook and Ji Hyo had to respect their children privacy.Somehow, none of them like showbiz, both Jong Kook and Ji hyo welcome their decision. Showbiz was hard, they are good examples of it but privately, their kids had shown talents. Jong Kook had managed to get them to sing with him in his albums, he was proud of them.They saw their children waiting for them, and they hurried to meet them before entering the restaurant to celebrate their grandparents’ wedding anniversary.
