Special Chapter 3 - Happy (?) Anniversary, Jagiya

A/N

Despite the main story being over, I can't believe the reads and votes and comments continue to grow and now it has 1M views... Is this really happening?

Seriously, I'm very thankful to you guys for your continuous love and support to this book until the very end. I never thought that it would gain so much popularity when I first started it. To be honest, this was the very first book I've created and despite me having to delete the first version of it, I was still immature and a naive writer and I admit that I have made a lot of mistakes and I've made other things too obvious or things alike and rereading it now, I have times where I'd facepalm myself and thought of better ways to write it if only I had the chance and I feel bad having you read the first few chapters where I wrote it without knowing anything about writing but the book's completed and alot of you knows what will happen already, but if given a chance, I want to rewrite it again.

BUT DESPITE ALL OF MY MISTAKES

You guys cheered me on and still showed your utmost support and love and I can never thank you guys enough. I've encountered some critics and I accept them, I know my own faults and I'm sorry for those who said they were disappointed and that they wasted their time on my book, I'm truly sorry..

But hey, I'm still happy that you guys kept commenting and sympathizing with my characters and other comments really makes me laugh and brightens my day and I just wanted to thank you guys.

Shout out to @pxrkjimined for making a cover for YHM. She also did SWM's new cover and I'm really thankful...

Here's a special chapter for those who kept supporting me and this book.

Again, thank-you everyone.

찐자...정말 ... 감사합니다.

너무 사랑해요!

Sungmi's POV

It's been awhile since I came here to Korea. I've stayed in US for 2 years now and it's my first time coming back ever since I left. Despite the hardships, Jaebum and I made it through and we're getting married in a month. Even though I was out of the country, I'm still well updated about Got7, Bangtan and EXO. How do I not? They've been labeled Hallyu stars and may not be as active as they were during their Rookie Years, they're still in the industry as well respected sunbaes.

"Christine ah!" I shouted as I spot her walking near the cafe. As soon as she heard my voice, she looked over to where I was and a smile grew from both our lips, running to eachother and meeting half way in a tight bear hug.

"It's been awhile!" She smiled and I did too.

"How has it been?" I asked, leading us back to our table with such bright smiles.

"It's okay. Jungkook's always out this past month since Bangtan's preparing for a comeback. Hyeonhye's in school and I have until 4 pm before I take her home." She said excitedly, but ever since her incident 8 years ago, I've always been keen about things concerning her and right now, her lips were kind of pale.

"Hey, is there something wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" I asked as we sat down but she shook her head.

"I just... don't have the appetite awhile ago so I didn't eat anything." she answered and I clicked my tongue. 

"That's not something you should do!" I said, hitting her head lightly before ordering a sandwich for her to eat.

We've talked and caught up with the things we've missed as she ate and she was excited about hearing the news of my marriage.

"Oh my gaud. I have to be there." she said and I chuckled, standing up as we finished our food and drinks.

"I'd kill you if you weren't there. I'd have no maid-of-honor." I answered.

"I'll be there. I promise." she said, holding out her pinky as I interlaced mine and sealed the promise with our thumbs.

"Alright." I smiled. Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Jimin ah? Yeah? No, I'm with Sungmi right now. Oh, you'll be ending practice late? Why didn't Jungkook tell so himself? He's talking with manager nim? Is he in trouble or something? Aigoo! Don't scare me like that." she said, sighing when she finally ended the call. "Alright. You guys take care." 

"Sungmi yah," she called as she stood infront of a shoe store and stared at something. "What do you think about that shoes?" She pointed at a pair of black and red shoes and I looked at her.

"Yah. You're a girl. I know you're not girly but that totally is a man's shoes. That's in the men's corner too!" I scolded but she laughed.

"It's not for me, pabo." She said, entering the store and inquiring about the shoes. "Excuse me sir, is this comfortable for sports and exercises like when you know, the user moves alot?" She asked, having the shoe in her hands.

"Yes ma'am. This is specifically designed for active costumers. Does this person play sport?" he asked and I shook my head.

"He dances alot," she answered, looking at the shoes. "and alot I mean 15 hours a day at the least." she sighed and weighed it. "It's also light." she commented and the man smiled.

"Yes ma'am. It's like they aren't even wearing it." he smiled and I looked at her.

"It's our anniversary today. I wanted to buy a gift for him since he'd always come home to late with bruised feet." she explained to me and I nodded, ruffling her hair. 

"Ofcourse you do, but does he have a gift for you?" I said and smirked playfully.

"Yah.. He's busy enough with their come back." she defended Jungkook and I just laughed. "Can you please save a pair for me? Size 9.5?" she asked the salesman and he smiled. 

"When will you be back for it, ma'am?" 

"In an hour. I left my ATM in my other wallet, " She smiled guiltily and the salesman chuckled. 

"Okay ma'am. I'll have one saved just for you." he smiled and that smile just gave me the creeps. 

I had to do something.

"Wahhhh Jeon's pretty lucky to have a wife like you, Christine ah." I said, swinging my arms over her shoulders and heading out with Christine just shaking her head while I looked back and made a face at that salesman who looked quite disappointed. "I can't believe he actually thought he could flirt with you." I said, looking ahead when Christine stopped for a second, closing her eyes shut.

I internally panicked as this situation was so familiar even if it happened years ago.

"Yah. What's wrong?" I asked but she shook it off, took a deep breath and smiled.

"Just got dizzy." She answered, waving it off but I couldn't ignore what happened.

We made it to their home and stayed in the living room while I waited. She went to look for her other wallet when I took my phone and connected myself to the internet, searching for one thing that I have to know as of the moment.

Do brain tumors recur? 

Just like before, I was afraid to know but I have to. I need to or else I won't be at peace.

As I pressed enter, I almost dropped my phone into the articles I've read.

Brain tumors that come back---

Some brain tumors are completely healed at first try but others may come back--

So it it possible? That her tumor could come back?

"Sungmi, it's almost 4. You think we could--" Christine was walking out of her room when she suddenly stopped talking and shut her eyes tightly before running to the nearest bathroom and soon enough, you'd hear her vomiting.

"Christine ah!" I shouted, running to where she was and found her kneeling beside the toilet bowl, wiping her mouth. "We have to go to the hospital." I said but she shook her head.

"Hyeonhye... gets off from school..." She said looking at her watch and trying to stand up but losing her balance for a moment before I caught her.

"I'll tell Jaebum to take care of it so please, go with me to the hospital." I pleaded. She didn't have much choice when she couldn't even walk straight as she was light headed for a moment. I took her out and caught a cab and asked them to take us to Seoul Medical Hospital, hoping Dr. Jiyoon was there.

"Jagiya? Can you please take Hyeonhye home for now?" I asked through the phone. "Christine isn't feeling well and I had to take her to the doctor for some check ups. I'm sorry it was urgent... You're coming after getting Hyeonhye?" I asked.

"No!" Christine said and I looked over to her. "Don't tell them." she said, shaking with tears in her eyes. There's no denying it. She's considering the possibility of it actually recurring. "Just please, take care of Hyeonhye for me first, Jaebum ah." she pleaded and I heard Jaebum sigh on the other line before agreeing, only hanging up after making me promise to fill him up with details after everything's over with.

"You'll be fine, alright?" I said, smiling at her but my voice betrayed me as it shook and broke with the last word.

"Yeah." She said, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath, a tear escaping through her.

.

.

"Jimin?" I answered as I waited outside while they're conducting tests for Christine. "Mm... We're... at Seoul Medical Hospital..."

.

Jungkook's POV

"Sungmi yah, keep it a secret that I called okay? Are you still with Christine?" Jimin asked as we all waited with cheeky smiles, the hyungs holding up white balloons and the cake for me while I hold the bouquet of white roses. "Where are you guys?" Jimin asked again, looking over to us with a cheeky smile only to be wept away.

I suddenly felt nervous.

"W.what are you guys doing there?" he asked, his playful voice suddenly turning serious, catching the attention of everyone. "Got it. We're on our way." He said, hanging up only to look at us urgently. 

"We need to go to the hospital." it was only that statement that got us running down the halls and into the van just like before.

.

.

.

As soon as we got there, we were running down the halls and I didn't even notice that I still held on the bouquet of flowers in my hands when we saw Sungmi outside a room, having her arms crossed over her chest, looking worriedly.

"Sungmi!" I ran and the hyungs were just right behind me, running as well.

"Where is she? How is she? What's wrong?" I asked without even missing a beat. If it wasn't for Taehyung hyung who placed his hand on my shoulder, I wouldn't have noticed I was shaking.

I was so terrified to hear it again.

I was so terrified to know that her cancer recurred.

"The doctor came out and said she'll be back for the test results... Christine's inside... I think you better go in, Jungkook." Sungmi said and I nodded, about to go in when Jimin's voice suddenly caught my attention.

"Where's Yoongi hyung?" 

I closed my eyes and sighed frustratedly. During the commotion, none of us were in our right minds after hearing the news and started running to the van without even remembering Yoongi hyung who went to the comfort room right before Jimin made his call.

"Oh no. We'll be dead. Someone call him!" Namjoon said and I was about to take my phone when Jin hyung took my hand.

"We'll take care of Yoongi. You take care of Christine for us." He said and I nodded, sliding the door open to see her seated infront of the doctor's desk, her face buried in her hands.

"Jagiya?" I called out softly and she looked over to me while I closed the door behind me. She looked at me and opened her mouth to talk when she saw the flowers in my hands and started sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Jungkook. I'm sorry." She said in her shaky voice. I walked to where she was and and knelt, placing the bouquet down before enclosing her in my arms, rocking her softly. "It's supposed to be our anniversary and I can't even greet you a happy anniversary because right now we're in the hospital and I might--"

"Shh. That's not confirmed yet. Don't think like that." I said, shaking my head, wanting to comfort her and make her believe in my words...

Or make myself believe in it as well.

"I was... I was supposed to buy you a gift too. I just had to come back for my ATM I left at home and then, and then--" she stopped, burying her face on my shoulders as she hugged me. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Are you sorry because you don't have a gift for me?" I tried to lighten up the atmosphere and she chuckled a little, coughing out her sobbing before pulling away from the hug to look at me. "Dummy, why are you crying like that?" I asked, wiping her tears by my thumb. 

Suddenly, the door opened and there stood a doctor I barely recognized. I stood up and took Christine's hand while I braced myself for the results we will be hearing.

"You must be..." she trailed off, waiting for my answer.

"Jeon Jungkook, her husband." I answered and she nodded.

"Well, I'm doctor Lee Minsung," she smiled and before I could even ask, she answered it already. "Dr. Jiyoon's out of town right now, but don't worry. I was with Christine during her first pregnancy with Hyeonhye." she smiled and I nodded, finally remembering where I saw her before.

"Doctor... w.what's your findings?" I asked, feeling Christine's grip on my tighten for a moment but I held onto her tightly as well, knowing that whatever this maybe, we'll be facing this together now. 

My heart beat doubled it's pace when the doctor looked over her records and sighed. 

"Congratulations you two. Hyeonhye will be a big sister now." she smiled and the weight on my insides suddenly lifted and I was left speechless. I looked over to Christine and fell on my knees.

"We'll... be having another baby." Jungkook said and Christine nodded, tears streaming her cheeks.

"Mmm." she now smiled while she nodded, sighing in relief as I just hugged her tight.

"You... don't have to be sorry about not having a gift for me jagi. This is the best gift you could ever give me." I said and she hugged me back.

"Mmm. Happy Anniversary, Jagiya." she said and I chuckled.

"Happy Anniversary."

.

.

We walked out of the room with bright smiles only to be welcomed by Yoongi oppa scolding.

"Yah! Why did you leave me there alone?!" Yoongi asked and Christine was surprised but I had my head down. "You rascals! I'm the brother here! Do you know what I dealt through, knowing my sister was here and my members actually left me behind?!" He shouted and Christine ran to hug her brother.

"Oppa, don't be so mad now, they didn't mean to... Besides, you'll leave a bad impression on your newest niece." she said, rubbing her stomach when all the other guys looked at her in awe.

"Or nephew." I said, standing beside her as I took in her hand in mine and intertwined it, tuning out the noise of the others as I just stared into Christine's eyes, having her smile at me.

Sure it got me worried and scared to death knowing we were back here where alot of things had happened years ago but it turned out to be wonderful thing going to the hospital. 

It sure is a happy anniversary, jagiya.
