~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was ten in the morning and I continue to sleep soundly in my bed. I was awoken by the sound of the doorbell ringing.
When I opened my eyes, the stinging luminous sunlight, which entered from my window, greeted me. As I slowly aroused from my bed, a second doorbell rang. My feet grope the cold wooden ground, searching for my sleepers. When I finally located them, I made my way towards the living room. As I passed through the living room, a third doorbell rang making me feel really irritated.
“I’m coming!” I called out. I scurried over the front door. When I opened the door, my eyes lit up when I saw who it was.
“Ryoko…… (Shinohara Ryoko)” She ran over to me and gave me a huge warm hug.
“Otousan….” She whispered back. Tears flowed out of both of our eyes. It has been five years since we last saw each other. I feel very relieve to see her.
After we broke our embrace, I cupped her face with my hands and I wiped her tears away with my thumb. “Osashiburi da ne? (It’s been a long time, huh?)” She nodded her head in agreement. “How have you been? How’s you’re husband and your daughter?”
“They’re doing fine. Yuri is in third grade now.” I smiled after hearing that. I can only imagine how big Yuri is now. Time passes really quickly for humans.
“Where’s your brother? Is he with you?” She nodded her head ‘yes.’
“He’s downstairs parking the car.” She glanced back outside and saw her brother coming. “Ah, he’s here.” He appeared right behind her.
“Otousan……” Without waiting another second, I ran over to my son and hugged him.
“Shinyang (Park Shin Yang)” I patted him at the back while he hugged me back. After what seemed like a long embrace, we broke off our hug and I invited the two of them inside the apartment.
As Ryoko scanned the place I could see a disappointed expression on her face. Shinyang on the other hand just sat there staring at the floor and playing with his tie.
“Sorry the place is a mess. I hadn’t had much time to clean lately.” I said as I took out two mugs from the cupboard and turning on the coffee maker.
“Since when did you and mom moved into an apartment?” Ryoko asked curiously.
“Erm, since about five years ago, few months after you visited us. We decided to move because we feel like a house is too big for just the two of us. It was your mom’s idea anyway.” I poured coffee into the mugs and brought it to the living room. I handed each of them a mug. “So…… have you two visited your mom’s grave yet?” I sat on the armchair next to Ryoko.
“Yea, we visited before we came here. By the way, we’re sorry for not being able to come to mom’s funeral.”
I shook my head lightly. “It’s alright. I know you two are busy, especially you Shinyang.” He immediately jerked his head up when he heard me call his name. “How’s the hotel business coming along? I heard you were promoted to manager.”
“Oh, umm……it’s doing fine. Yea, I was promoted last year.” I watched him take a sip out of his mug.
“Souka (I see). How long are you two planning on staying here?”
“About a couple of days. But if you need us to stay here longer, we could stay.”
“Oh, no it’s alright. I’ll be fine.”
“Are you sure? I could stay longer if you want. It’s not like I need to get back to New York right away.” I gave her a reassuring smile, and with that she understood and dropped off the topic.
Throughout the rest of the day, the three of us just talked, well more like the two of us. Shinyang remained quiet the whole time. I wonder why?
The three of us went out for dinner, at a Shabu Shabu restaurant. Then after that, they dropped me off at my apartment before heading back to their hotel.
======================
The next day, I took the two of them on a tour around Tokyo. It’s been nine years since they’ve been here. All this time, Maki and I have been the ones visiting them in New York and they've been the ones that's been giving us tours. It’s refreshing to be the one leading the way for once.
I showed them around the stores in Shibuya, and I toured them around the Ebisu Garden Place. Lastly, I took them to Japan’s infamous Tokyo Tower.
“Waah! I missed this place!” Ryoko exclaimed. I watched her elated face as she observe the beautiful scenery outside the tower. I glanced at Shinyang who was standing a few feet behind her. I’ve noticed that he had been keeping a lot to himself lately. I’ve also noticed him spacing a few times during our conversations. I made my way to where he was. He turned his gaze towards me when he noticed me approaching him.
“What’s up? Are you having fun?” I asked him in a casual tone.
“Yea, I’m enjoying myself.” he said nonchalantly. I could tell something was bothering him. I don’t understand why he doesn’t want to tell me though.
“Is something bothering you?” His gaze shot up towards me.
“Nothing’s bothering me.” he said turning his gaze away from me.
“Are you sure? You look really pale.” Even more paler than me. I wonder if he’s thinking about his mother's death.
For the rest of the day, we didn’t talk much to each other. He kept his distance from us, and we both noticed it.
I dropped the two of them off at the hotel they were staying at before I headed home. When I arrived at my apartment, I went straight to the bedroom. I sat on the bedside and took Maki’s picture.
‘Maki, I think Shinyang misses you. He won’t tell me about it. Yobo, dou suru? (What should I do, dear?)
======================
[Two days later…..]
‘ring, ring, ring’ I waited for Ryoko to answer her cell phone.
“Hello?” I heard her say.
“Oh, Ryoko. Do you know where your brother is? He’s not answering his phone.”
“He left early this morning. He said he’s going to visit someone.” Someone? Does he know anyone else here in Japan other than me? Hmm…..
“Ah, I see. Thanks! Are you still packing?” I could here some shuffling of bags on the other line.
“Yea, I forgot to pack last night so I still have a lot to pack.”
“Souka (I see). I’ll pick you up later then, ok?”
“Ok. See you later.” I hung up and headed towards my car. I turned on the engine and began driving. I think I know where he might have gone to.
When I reached my destination I walked up the steps and followed the gravel path. From afar I spotted someone standing in front of Maki’s grave. ‘I knew he would come here.”
“Shinyang,” I called his name softly. When he turned around, his eyes widen, surprise to see me there.
“Otousan……how did you know I was here?” He asked me curiously.
“A father’s instinct.” He smiled and I walked over next to him. “This has been bothering you the whole time hasn’t it?” He nodded his head lightly.
We became quiet for while. After a long silent moment, he spoke first. “I miss her,” He finally admitted. “I miss her so badly.” I could hear his voice becoming shaky. He covered his eyes with his hand, trying to stop himself from crying. I gently wrapped my arms around him. He buried his face on my shoulder while I patted him on the back, comforting him.
“I miss her too son. I miss her too.”
For the first time since he arrived here in Japan, he finally showed his true feelings. All this time he had been bottling up all of his emotions. He was afraid, but he didn’t want anyone to know. We, men, are always like this. We’re always showing our tough side even though inside were really wavering. I know because within these past few days I have been like that. I've been saying and pretending to be fine even though I’m not. But I’m glad, I'm glad that he could finally feel relieve and show his true emotions.
In the afternoon, I escorted the two of them to the airport. We gave each other hugs and we all said our goodbyes. Seeing the two of them and spending time with them again made me feel at ease. I'm happy to know that they weren't too bothered by their mother's death. I'm glad they could move on peacefully. But I wonder………..
……….when will I ever truly move on?
……….will I ever forget you?

A/N: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. ^^
For the ppl who were asking me if they had children……well they did! Lol XD this chap was basically about them. I know I said before that this chap was supposed to about a ‘new friend’ but I think I’m gonna save that for later. ^^ Btw, Shinohara Ryoko is a jap actress from Haken no Hinkaku and Park Shin Yang is a Korean actor from Lovers in Paris and Money’s Warfare. they will be playing Maki and Jaejoong's children! Btw, Ryoko and Shinyang's real age now are they're age in the story as well. So you can tell they didn't inherit jaejoong's vampire ability to stay young forever.
Comments would be very much appreciated! Pls stay tune for chapter 16!!! =D
Chapter 16: Hmm….I’m not sure what the title is yet, but I'm basically going to talk about what happened to Jaejoong after he left Maki and how they get reunited again. ^^

Chapter 16 – An insomniac’s cure….
by yozoranomukou on 11/6/2009, 10:38 pm
Chapter 16 – An insomniac’s cure….
[Flashback]
*panting* I clutched my chest tightly as I tried to catch my breath. I could feel cold sweats covering my entire body. *sigh* ‘Another nightmare….’ I thought.
I got up from the bed and I headed towards the small bathroom in my apartment. I opened the faucet and I splashed water on my face. I slowly looked up at the mirror on my medicine cabinet and I just stared blankly at my pale face. There were dark bags under my eyes and my lips where chapped. I couldn’t believe I was staring at my face. ‘Is this what I’ve become, a distressed insomniac?’
After I washed my face, I headed back to my bedroom. I sat still on the bed, my back leaning on the backboard, and my arms wrapped tightly around my body. I began pondering about that incident.
Seven years had passed since I last saw her. Although it had been years since that incident, it was still fresh in my mind. I can still remember everything that had happened perfectly. I could still remember how she stared at me with fear in her eyes; how she pleaded to me, and how I ignored her cries. I can't believe that incident is still haunting me even today. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for what I did, nor will I ever escape that nightmare….
======================
The next day I woke up at eight in the morning. I found myself in the same position I was last night; sitting on my bed, my back leaning on the backboard, and my arms around my body. When I stretched my arms I could feel a stinging pain around my biceps. ‘Ugh, I shouldn’t have slept like that last night. Now my whole body is aching.’
I walked over to the bathroom and I took a quick shower. After my short shower, I put on a blue plaid shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I grabbed my black messenger bag, an apple from the counter and I headed out my apartment.
“Good morning!” I said in English to old man that lives next door to me as I made my way out of the apartment. I nodded at him as he greeted me back.
Three days after that incident with Maki, I decided to migrate to America. I left without anyone knowing. Not Meisa. Not even Eunhyuk. After that incident I vanished from their lives and started a new life at a new environment. Of course I made new acquaintances and I also found a great job with loving co-workers.
“Good morning!” I greeted Jacob, my co-worker and my neighbor.
“Good morning!” he greeted me back. Ever since I moved here, he’s been one of the few close people that had helped all this time. He was also the one who found me a job and a place for me stay.
Of course he wasn’t the only close friend I have; I’ve also met another vampire, Hyunjoong. He’d been here on Earth for thousands of years, so he’s basically an expert in ‘human rituals.’ Now and then he’d teach me a few facts about them. He had also told me stories about his life and his adventure here on Earth. He told me about his romances and his unrequited loves from the past and how he coincidentally met them again. He said it's because 'this is a small world.' I was amazed by his stories. His life is like a never ending drama.
I headed to the back of the restaurant and into the locker room where I changed in my uniform. After I finished changing I punched in and I went out to the front and helped Hyunjoong in setting up the tables.
“Hey, how are you coping? Are you still having trouble sleeping?” He asked me as I pushed in the chair under the table.
“Not so well. I had another nightmare. It took me forever to fall back to sleep.”
“You should really see a doctor.” he recommended, but I just shook my head. ‘A doctor is not what I need to see.’
======================
I checked my watch for the time; ‘6:02, it’s almost the end of my shift.’ I thought. Suddenly a group of new customers came in the restaurant. I hurried over to the entrance to greet them.
“Good eve—” I stopped when I saw who one of the customers was. ‘Maki….’ I immediately thought. Our eyes met and were immediately locked onto each other like a magnet. I could feel my heart racing ecstatically and I could feel my lips slowly shifting into a smile. But it stopped when I noticed her expression. She looks somewhat…..disappointed. ‘Is she not happy to see me?’
After I snapped out of my daze, I saw a hand waving right in front of my face trying to get my attention. “Hellooo? Are you still there?” One of Maki's friends asked.
“Eh?” I immediately bowed my head and apologized to the her. “I’m so sorry. This way please.” I grabbed five menus from the counter and then I led them to a table.
After they had seated on their seats, I handed them the menu. I stood at the side waiting patiently for their orders and staring intently at Maki's face. I noticed that she had kept her head down the whole time. ‘I’m probably making her feel very uncomfortable by staring at her.’
Suddenly I snapped out of my dazed again and I could hear one of her friends reading out her order. She stopped and stared at me weirdly. “Hey, are you writing these down?” She asked me curiously. I nodded my head in response and I began writing down her orders on my pad. ‘I should really stop daydreaming.’
As I was writing down their orders, Hyunjoong suddenly popped out from beside me. “Hey Maki!” he said out loud. My head immediately turned towards his direction. ‘WHAT!? He knows her?!’
“Hey, Jae you should go get change, it’s almost the end of your shift.” I looked at him with a bewildered expression.
“But-" I tried to protest but he interrupted me.
“It’s ok, I’ll finish taking their orders for you. I know how tired you are, so get plenty of rest tonight ok?” He said before he grabbed my pen and my pad and pushed me towards the back. 'EH?'
======================
I checked my watch again; ‘6:15, my shift is finally over.’ I headed to the locker room and changed my clothes. As I was buttoning my shirt, Jacob came in.
“Are you heading straight home?” He asked me as he turns the dial on his locker.
“Erm, I guess so.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later then!” he said as I exited the locker room.
I headed out to the front of the restaurant, but I stopped when I saw her again. She was still chatting with Hyunjoong. ‘How in the world does he know her?’ I gritted my teeth in jealousy. Without taking another look at ‘them’ chatting merrily with each other, I rushed out of the restaurant.
I stomped my way out, my lips pursed in pure anger. 'How could she talk so comfortably with him? How does he know her!?!?!'
After walking for a while, my anger and my jealousy slowly disappeared. I walked around the block for a bit, just pondering about her. 'I can’t believe we met again. All of these years of avoiding her, I can’t believe we just met like this so easily.'
"I guess Hyunjoong was right. 'This is a small world' after all." I chuckled at that thought.
After circling the block for quite sometime, I decided to go back to the restaurant to check if she was still there. I peeked inside the glass doors and scanned the room for her presence. But she wasn’t there. The table she and her friends were sitting at was now empty. I sighed in disappointment.
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me. “I knew you’d come back.” The voice said. I immediately recognized the voice. I turned around and found Maki standing right in front of me.
“Maki….” My heart beat began racing again.
“How have you been?” She asked me.
“I-I’m fine. How are you?” I asked her back. She gave me the same respond. “What are you doing here in America?” I asked her curiously. Suddenly, my ‘hopeful meter’ went up. ‘I wonder if she found out I was living here and decided to come see me.’ =)
“Oh, we moved here because of my job.” My hopeful meter immediately fell after hearing her response. ‘Of course she wasn’t here to see me.’ =.=”
“How long have you been living here?” she asked me.
“I’ve been living her for about seven…..” That incident suddenly came rushing back my mind. “…..years.” I bit my lips and looked down at the ground.
“Oh…..ever since that day huh?” I didn’t respond to her. “Umm…..I have to go. I guess I’ll see you around. Bye.” She turned around and I watched her walk towards the parking lot.
I hit myself lightly on the head. ‘Babo! Why did you have to say that!? I should’ve just lied.’
======================
When I arrived at my apartment, I headed straight to bed. I laid there staring at the dark ceiling and thinking about my coincident meeting with Maki today. Even though we only talked for a short time, seeing her made me really happy. Seeing her face and hearing her voice again brings back all of the memories I had with her. The features of her face still looked the same; her eyes, her nose, and her lips. Although her face still looks the same, somehow the present Maki looks very different from the past Maki. There is a hint of matured look on her face now than before ‘Waah! It’s only been a couple of years and she already looks so different. She looks like a real woman now.
The thoughts of Maki soon led me to sleep. That night, I slept comfortably on my bed. I dreamt about all of those wonderful memories I shared with her; our first date, our little dates at night, and our time spent together at school. Seeing her again made me forget about that incident temporarily. At least for now I could sleep soundly and peacefully without any worries.

The next day I woke up at eight in the morning. I found myself in the same position I was last night; sitting on my bed, my back leaning on the backboard, and my arms around my body. When I stretched my arms I could feel a stinging pain around my biceps. ‘Ugh, I shouldn’t have slept like that last night. Now my whole body is aching.’
I walked over to the bathroom and I took a quick shower. After my short shower, I put on a blue plaid shirt and a pair of blue jeans. I grabbed my black messenger bag, an apple from the counter and I headed out my apartment.
“Good morning!” I said in English to old man that lives next door to me as I made my way out of the apartment. I nodded at him as he greeted me back.
Three days after that incident with Maki, I decided to migrate to America. I left without anyone knowing. Not Meisa. Not even Eunhyuk. After that incident I vanished from their lives and started a new life at a new environment. Of course I made new acquaintances and I also found a great job with loving co-workers.
“Good morning!” I greeted Jacob, my co-worker and my neighbor.
“Good morning!” he greeted me back. Ever since I moved here, he’s been one of the few close people that had helped all this time. He was also the one who found me a job and a place for me stay.
Of course he wasn’t the only close friend I have; I’ve also met another vampire, Hyunjoong. He’d been here on Earth for thousands of years, so he’s basically an expert in ‘human rituals.’ Now and then he’d teach me a few facts about them. He had also told me stories about his life and his adventure here on Earth. He told me about his romances and his unrequited loves from the past and how he coincidentally met them again. He said it's because 'this is a small world.' I was amazed by his stories. His life is like a never ending drama.
I headed to the back of the restaurant and into the locker room where I changed in my uniform. After I finished changing I punched in and I went out to the front and helped Hyunjoong in setting up the tables.
“Hey, how are you coping? Are you still having trouble sleeping?” He asked me as I pushed in the chair under the table.
“Not so well. I had another nightmare. It took me forever to fall back to sleep.”
“You should really see a doctor.” he recommended, but I just shook my head. ‘A doctor is not what I need to see.’
======================
I checked my watch for the time; ‘6:02, it’s almost the end of my shift.’ I thought. Suddenly a group of new customers came in the restaurant. I hurried over to the entrance to greet them.
“Good eve—” I stopped when I saw who one of the customers was. ‘Maki….’ I immediately thought. Our eyes met and were immediately locked onto each other like a magnet. I could feel my heart racing ecstatically and I could feel my lips slowly shifting into a smile. But it stopped when I noticed her expression. She looks somewhat…..disappointed. ‘Is she not happy to see me?’
After I snapped out of my daze, I saw a hand waving right in front of my face trying to get my attention. “Hellooo? Are you still there?” One of Maki's friends asked.
“Eh?” I immediately bowed my head and apologized to the her. “I’m so sorry. This way please.” I grabbed five menus from the counter and then I led them to a table.
After they had seated on their seats, I handed them the menu. I stood at the side waiting patiently for their orders and staring intently at Maki's face. I noticed that she had kept her head down the whole time. ‘I’m probably making her feel very uncomfortable by staring at her.’
Suddenly I snapped out of my dazed again and I could hear one of her friends reading out her order. She stopped and stared at me weirdly. “Hey, are you writing these down?” She asked me curiously. I nodded my head in response and I began writing down her orders on my pad. ‘I should really stop daydreaming.’
As I was writing down their orders, Hyunjoong suddenly popped out from beside me. “Hey Maki!” he said out loud. My head immediately turned towards his direction. ‘WHAT!? He knows her?!’
“Hey, Jae you should go get change, it’s almost the end of your shift.” I looked at him with a bewildered expression.
“But-" I tried to protest but he interrupted me.
“It’s ok, I’ll finish taking their orders for you. I know how tired you are, so get plenty of rest tonight ok?” He said before he grabbed my pen and my pad and pushed me towards the back. 'EH?'
======================
I checked my watch again; ‘6:15, my shift is finally over.’ I headed to the locker room and changed my clothes. As I was buttoning my shirt, Jacob came in.
“Are you heading straight home?” He asked me as he turns the dial on his locker.
“Erm, I guess so.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later then!” he said as I exited the locker room.
I headed out to the front of the restaurant, but I stopped when I saw her again. She was still chatting with Hyunjoong. ‘How in the world does he know her?’ I gritted my teeth in jealousy. Without taking another look at ‘them’ chatting merrily with each other, I rushed out of the restaurant.
I stomped my way out, my lips pursed in pure anger. 'How could she talk so comfortably with him? How does he know her!?!?!'
After walking for a while, my anger and my jealousy slowly disappeared. I walked around the block for a bit, just pondering about her. 'I can’t believe we met again. All of these years of avoiding her, I can’t believe we just met like this so easily.'
"I guess Hyunjoong was right. 'This is a small world' after all." I chuckled at that thought.
After circling the block for quite sometime, I decided to go back to the restaurant to check if she was still there. I peeked inside the glass doors and scanned the room for her presence. But she wasn’t there. The table she and her friends were sitting at was now empty. I sighed in disappointment.
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me. “I knew you’d come back.” The voice said. I immediately recognized the voice. I turned around and found Maki standing right in front of me.
“Maki….” My heart beat began racing again.
“How have you been?” She asked me.
“I-I’m fine. How are you?” I asked her back. She gave me the same respond. “What are you doing here in America?” I asked her curiously. Suddenly, my ‘hopeful meter’ went up. ‘I wonder if she found out I was living here and decided to come see me.’ =)
“Oh, we moved here because of my job.” My hopeful meter immediately fell after hearing her response. ‘Of course she wasn’t here to see me.’ =.=”
“How long have you been living here?” she asked me.
“I’ve been living her for about seven…..” That incident suddenly came rushing back my mind. “…..years.” I bit my lips and looked down at the ground.
“Oh…..ever since that day huh?” I didn’t respond to her. “Umm…..I have to go. I guess I’ll see you around. Bye.” She turned around and I watched her walk towards the parking lot.
I hit myself lightly on the head. ‘Babo! Why did you have to say that!? I should’ve just lied.’
======================
When I arrived at my apartment, I headed straight to bed. I laid there staring at the dark ceiling and thinking about my coincident meeting with Maki today. Even though we only talked for a short time, seeing her made me really happy. Seeing her face and hearing her voice again brings back all of the memories I had with her. The features of her face still looked the same; her eyes, her nose, and her lips. Although her face still looks the same, somehow the present Maki looks very different from the past Maki. There is a hint of matured look on her face now than before ‘Waah! It’s only been a couple of years and she already looks so different. She looks like a real woman now.
The thoughts of Maki soon led me to sleep. That night, I slept comfortably on my bed. I dreamt about all of those wonderful memories I shared with her; our first date, our little dates at night, and our time spent together at school. Seeing her again made me forget about that incident temporarily. At least for now I could sleep soundly and peacefully without any worries.
