Jaejoong's mum: Jaein... Oh my gosh... Are you okay? Have you been eating? How come you look so thin?!!!
Jaein: I'm fine Auntie. It's just that I was trying to lose some weight. So I've been dieting. Don't worry.
Jaejoong's dad: Did something happen when we were gone? Did Jaejoong bully you?
Jaein: No Uncle. Nothing happened. I'm fine. Really. Don't worry.
Jaejoong's mum: How can we not worry?!!! We're gone for a few months and you look so thin and tired...
Jaejoong: How can she not be? Working so many jobs at the same time.
Jaejoong walked past with his parents' luggages and interupted their conversation. His parents were shocked to hear what Jaejoong said.
Jaejoong's dad: Is that true? How come you're working again? I thought we've already told you not to worry about your school fees? Is the money we gave you for expenses not enough? We can give you more if you want...
Jaein (shaking her head profusely): No Uncle. It's not that... I... I'm sorry... I...
Jaejoong's dad: What's wrong dear? Why are you apologizing?
Jaein (looking down): I'm sorry Uncle and Auntie... I've been saving up for rent... I think its better that I don't impose on your family anymore... I'm so sorry for causing you trouble for these few months...
Jaejoong's mum: What are you talking about?!!! I thought we've already discussed this?!!! And you're not imposing on us! We already treat you as part of this family! Why are you talking about leaving?!!!
Jaein: I'm sorry Uncle and Auntie... I know you treat me like your own daughter... But I... I don't wish to cause you any more inconveniences... I'm after all an outsider... And there's no reason you should have to work so hard to pay for my education... I think it's better for me to stand on my own feet... My parents would want me to learn to be independant... So I hope you will allow me this chance to do this my own way...
Jaejoong's mum: But...
Jaejoong's dad: Yeobo... I think it's best that we let her do what she wants... If we force her to stay here she won't be happy too... (turns to Jaein) Well if you are insistent... I guess it's the only way then... But promise us that you'll visit us often...
Jaein: Yes Uncle and Auntie. I promise that I will visit as often as I can. Thank you so much for all that you've already done for me. I'm eternally grateful.
Jaejoong's mum: If you're insistent, then I have no choice but to agree, but I want to see your apartment before you rent it to make sure it is safe for you!
Jaein: Yes Auntie... I'll definitely show the place to you before I rent it...
Jaejoong walked past again with another few luggages of his parents.
Jaein's thoughts (while looking at Jaejoong): One more month and I'll be moving out... Just bear with me for one more month... I'll be gone from your sight... Forever...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaejoong had heard Jaein telling his parents about her plans to move out soon. He swallowed hard. He knew this would come sooner or later. With all his antics going on every night. But he didn't expect it to come so soon. Suddenly when he saw for the first time how depressed and lifeless Jaein looked in contrast to the way she was when she first came into his house.
Jaejoong's thoughts: She's told them already. It's sooner than I had expected. Ha ha... Idiot... With me bringing different girls back every night... And making love all night in the room next to hers... How can she not be in a hurry to move out? She must think I am a total playboy... Sex maniac... The faster she moves out, the safer she is... From me...
He looked at Jaein smiling contentedly at his parents when they finally decided to let her do what she wants.
Jaejoong's thoughts: She'll be much happier away from me anyway... I've caused her nothing but trouble and pain... Someone like me... Am better off the way I am... Having loveless one night stands... Anyway no one will truly love me for me... I'm too... I don't... I don't deserve... Her...
