Chapter Twenty

P.S. Before you even start to read, I just want to warn you that I kind of don't like this chapter... so if most of you agree that it's horrible, it may be subject to be changed for a better one. Also, the last part has a different feel to it, and really, that's how Second Chance will kind of be like, so if you have any type of feedback for me, please don't hesitate. Oh, and I may, just a little bit, try to be a tease at the end of the chapter. (;

The crowd goes crazy, watching the small entrance of Tao, Kai, and D.O. along with Mr. Yoo, following behind, his hands restrained by the strong panda.

“Ahh, just the man we needed to see.” Chen smirks, talking through the microphone.

The confused fans waits patiently, mumbling with each other just what the heck is happening.

Through every major fan site, each member sent them a video in the middle of the night, asking for their appearance at the airport. Being the devoted fans that they are, they spread the word quickly, arriving even before their beloved oppas came.

“What’s happening? Why are we here?”

“Where are the other members?”

“Will you perform?”

Questions after questions, the fans were slowly drifting apart, as they didn’t know the situation.

With Suho and Hyunji walking in, hand in hand, some of the fans that saw the two gasps, bringing the attention towards the couple.

“Suho oppa!” protests from the fans start, causing a chaos behind the line of security that was separating the small stage from the fans.

“Calm down, calm down. Everyone, please.” Jongdae pleads, seeing Minah from the back, nodding with two thumbs up. “If you could please take this moment to be quiet, we would like to show you a small video, regarding of what’s happening.”

The fans start to calm down, but the media are on the top of their shoes, recording everything and not missing a beat, as more pictures are taken of Suho and Hyunji.

“What’s happening?” asks Hyunji.

“Just watch.” Suho replies with a smile, squeezing the hand that’s enveloped in his gently.

The video starts with two familiar faces that Hyunji knows so well. It was her parents. Everyone knows the two moguls, even the Exo fans. Hyunji’s parents were well known for being the “It” couple of their time. Two lovebirds that started from nothing and created an empire that quickly took over all of South Korea. Then, Mr. Yoo’s face shows up in the video. The narration starts at how he single-handedly took over the company, after the dreadful passing of Hyunji’s parents. It explained how he got to the top, adopting the Shin’s only daughter, Shin Hyunji. Another clip starts, Hyunji being the center of the attention of the video. It explained how her right as the heiress of the corporation was taken away by the sleazy man, Mr. Yoo, even going into full detail about her being hidden away from the world, along with her daughter.

“Daughter?” a fan gasps.

“Who’s the father?”

“Is Suho the father?” a reporter asks blatantly, as the video finished.

Joonmyun takes the microphone from Chen, smiling from ear to ear, like a proud father.

“Yes, I am the father of Shin Hyunji’s child. And before anyone starts asking questions about me, don’t. To the fans, I’m sorry that I didn’t meet your expectations, but I have a duty as a father, and that is to protect my child and her mother, who’s also the love of my life. Just like you guys, I also didn’t know I had a daughter, not until two days ago. Can you believe it? Two days ago! And it’s all because of this man.” he points towards Mr. Yoo.

As Suho continues with his speech, Mr. Park appears with two police officers behind him.

“This man, right here, has manipulated his way into the biggest company in South Korea, which rightfully belongs to Hyunji. He’s an evil man, who put my daughter in danger by kidnapping her, just so he can blackmail Hyunji and I, trying to separate us, and hiding them away for good. That’s why we’re all here today, saving the woman of my dreams and my beloved daughter, before the truth is hidden. So, thank you everyone, and I hope you guys can understand.”

The fans are all speechless as the media reporters go crazy, calling the TV networks to play the footage that they got right away, while still taping Mr. Yoo getting arrested, live. The man tries to make more of the scene, throwing punches and trying to get away, but is easily taken care of by the officers.

“It’s over.” Kai smirks towards Mr. Yoo in handcuffs. “Goodluck surviving in jail.”

TWO MONTHS LATER

Hyunji wakes up from the sound of her alarm, slowly getting up, noticing that Suho was nowhere to be seen.

“Hmm, that’s odd.” she mumbles, stretching her arms, before slipping off her side of the bed.

She makes her way to the bathroom, doing her morning routine, then to the kitchen to brew some coffee, before she was to make breakfast for Joonmyun and Joohyun.

After the airport incident with Mr. Yoo, he was thrown into jail, and the company was handed back to her. The only thing was, she didn’t anything about how to run a multi-billion company. She decided to go back to school, to get her degree in business. Even though her dream was to become a nurse, who was pretty good at what she did, she wanted to live up her parents dreams.

Of course, Joonmyun supported her. As someone who also had a wealthy family, he knew what it was like and he was more than happy to help in any way he could. For now, he took over the company, doing the best that he could for Hyunji and Joohyun.

Joonmyun had withdrawn from Exo, wanting to be with his family more, his biggest dreams, to support and provide for them. The fans understood. After the video went viral, almost all of South Korea had known about Hyunji and Joonmyun’s past, making them the “It” couple of this generation.

The superstar and the heiress, as they call it.

The only question on everyone’s mind was when they were gonna tie the knot? Seeing that they lived in the same, big house with their adorable daughter, it was bound to happen sooner than later.

“Mommy!” Joohyun beams, walking towards the kitchen with Joonmyun in tow.

“Hey there, baby girl.” Hyunji smiles, breaking her thoughts away, and focusing on the two most important people in her life.

The adorable, little girl makes her way around, meeting her mother for a hug. “Daddy came into my room pretty early, waking me up. He says there’s a surprise.” she pouts, but is still excited about this so-called surprise.

Hyunji moves her gaze towards Joonmyun, raising her eyebrow to the man who’s hand is rubbing the back of his neck, trying to look innocent, before motioning his daughter to come.

“Baby,” he chuckles, lifting Joohyun off the floor. “it’s not a surprise if you tell her.” he says, nuzzling his nose towards her neck to tickle her.

Joohyun roars into laughter, filling the room with the cutest laugh, making Hyunji smile at two. “What is this surprise secret, I hear?”

“Nothing, mommy. It’s nothing.” Joohyun says in between laughs, surely keeping the surprise a secret this time.

Joonmyun puts his daughter down with a satisfied smile, winking at the little girl who smiles proudly at her dad for not saying anything this time.

“Good girl.” he says, before leaning down to kiss the top of her head. “Now go get dressed, so we can go to your favorite breakfast place.”

Joohyun nods, smiling one last time towards her mother, who’s still confused about the whole surprise situation.

As the two are left together, Joonmyun tries walking towards Hyunji for a kiss, who backs up with her hand held up front, stopping his advances.

“No, no.” she smirks. “No kisses for you until you spill this whole surprise ordeal.”

Joonmyun sighs, pouting like a little kid. “But, babe..”

“Don’t ‘but, babe..’ me.” Hyunji giggles, expertly moving her around the kitchen to be out of Joonmyun’s reach. “Joohyun’s probably going to take like half an hour, choosing an outfit… and if you tell me this surprise, I’ll let you have me, right here and then.” she grins, tapping the marble island countertop, knowing it has always been one of his fantasies.

Even though it sounded so tempting. Oh, so, so, so tempting. Joonmyun let out a frustrated sigh, shaking his head, trying to muster up all the self-control he had. “Babe, that’s not fair.. and I can’t. But when this is all over, I’ll have you to myself, just as you proposed.” he says defeatedly, but with a smirk on his face, before leaving the kitchen.

“Now go get dressed, we’re leaving in ten.”

Hyunji stood in the kitchen, shocked, just wondering how this surprise is more important than morning sex. Shaking her head, she chuckles how her day has been so amusing already, and she hasn’t even had a drop of coffee in her system.
