He's Your Son!

Rose slept back on her bed at the hospital room.

She was thinking about the accident and incident. What was happening to them at all.

*******************

Min Hong finally woke up from his long two days sleep. He opened his eyes and found his mother sitting beside him.

"Max...you slept for a long time. How are you feeling... are you feeling dizzy?"

"I'm ok, mother ... how's Rose?"

"She's getting good now. She woke up two days ago....umm...by the way, I have something to tell you?"

Max looked up at his mother as to listen to her.

"Mr Kim now know you are his son! Why did not you try to tell him?"

"How come...ummm..it's because I find the Kim family quite a loving one. And sometimes, I think something in the past is not important and no need to be known to interfere good feeling in present.."

"Hmm...well said...but the truth is the truth and it just came out itself when times come!"

A day before, the whole Kim family had visited Max and Rose in Busan hospital. Mr Kim had finally witness Mrs Lee with Max in the hospital room where Max was sleeping. It was a very a very awkward moment. Mrs Kim then took her two sons away so that her husband could have talked freely with Mrs Lee.

"It's long time not seeing you! You are doing ok right!" Mr Kim started.

"Yes, I am doing ok!"

Mrs Lee tried to smiled.

"And ...Yeon....I ...am really sorry...all those years back!!"

Mrs Lee could see regret in his eyes.

She gave a long sigh and then looked his Mr Kim very calm clears eyes and was similing.

"It's actually me who left you back then. I was heartbroken too. But circumstances brought me to that. My mom was sick and your parents offered me a large sum in exchange for leaving you marry another. I agree to that. They even offered me to stay with you as mistress. But i don't think that's a good idea for both Mrs Kim and me. So I just decided to ran away. Later I found out I was pregnant. But then I was able to find someone who was willing to take me and my child. He showed love to me and my son as his own. I grew to love him. ...."

She paused for awhile before saying more, "It was then I learned that I could love again for second time...." She looked up at Mr Kim.."My first young love was beautiful, loud and passionate.....but with Mr Kim...it is more understanding, mature .. mixing with passion as well that is not losing to my first one...he lighted up my life too..And yes...I sometimes felt guilty with myself for not able to maintaining my first love as eternal.!"

Mr Kim nodded. He seemed to be relieved by what Mrs Lee had said.

"We are in the same way.. about guiltiness..."

***************************

Rose looked at Mina who was sitting beside her. She looked paler than before. All of her relatives were back home for their business. Only Mina and her grandmother were here.

"Mina... don't you go to school today..!"

"I have taken a few days off...!"

"Ohh..I see..by the way did something happen? You look a little pale."

"Do I? Ohh it must be because I'm a little sick."

"Go back to your home...and take rest..."

"But yesterday, you said you are lonely ..!"

"I'm not anymore!

At that moment, the door to the patient room open, Rose's grandmother came back inside with the other two women, Mrs Lee and Chae Soo Bin.

The two women came near her.

"How are you?" Mrs Lee asked gently.

Rose looked at her mother in law to be. Her face was gentle and had soft feminine slim feature. Her eyes were same as those of Max's. She looked at Rose warmly.

"You really are beautiful.... Thank you for loving our son..child!"

"He was good to me too.....!"

"Rose sis..." Chae Soo Bin began. "I know you have heard about our big brother, affairs... with women...and his marriage before...but I can assure you that he definitely love you... when he is in love he will fight through all for it..!"

Rose nodded.

Not so long after, Calla had visited her too, bringing her new boyfriend too.

She came inside the patient room in fashionable clothing, wearing brightly and wearing sunglasses. She took of her sunglasses when she came near to Rose bed.

Her boyfriend was well built very handsome guy. They both greeted Rose. But soon, her handsome boyfriend left the room.

Others left too as Ms Calla said that she wanted to be with Rose alone.

"Rose yah..." she said...."about that night...I can assure you that I had nothing with Max, we were both drugged to be asleep and for you to misunderstand us!"

"I guess that too" , Rose replied.

"Hmm.... believe in Max....he loves you... even more than he did to me years, probably. I felt I was so much in love back then. He was such a sweet guy. The bad thing was he was friendly with his fangirls too at the university. I remembered he replied all his letters from his fangirls back then..!"

"Was he any celebrity?"

"Sort of at our university.. Because he was a guitarist in his band then for our university music club. The band was very popular. Hehehe he still made sure that he loved me more than any girls. I was young and dreamy. He supported me a lot with life too. We got married after university. studies. It was then that I realised I'm not fitting for marriage life. He was such a sweet husband and his mother was very nice. But I was very depressed by thinking about having to tie to him. I wanted to explore more in life. But I could not leave Max. He took care of me greatly especially when I was pregnant then. But with my depression, I had miscarriage. He was too depressed by then. Keeping himself busy with work. I felt betrayed by his lesser attendance to me. So I started to betray him by having other guys around. He caught me then. We divorced. I can still see women attraction towards him. He could charmed them very easily. "

Rose's face was red now.

"Hehe ..... Max was one woman type guy in love. He won't ever betrayed you like that as long as you are with him."

After sometimes, Calla was gone.

Rose thought back about her time with Max. He really charmed her then. She realised it now. In fact, she still kept his gifts such as handkerchief.

The next morning, Rose was able visit Max. She sat by his bed. But her behaviour was sullen the whole time.

"What happened Rose?"

"Ms Calla visited me. She told me about that night that you and her had nothing!..And told me about your marriage!"

That made Max silent for a moment before laughing.

"Hehe .... So you are jealous?"

"No, I'm no.."

But Max pulled her into his arms, facing her face towards his to kiss her lips. Then he said.

"Rose, I know that I'm not at all that good. My past is a scar. But believe me, no one can ever take your place in my heart again in lifetime. It's all yours"

Rose smiled and nodded and rest her head on his chest.

Not long after, they both could come out of hospital.

********************

Eunwoo's mind was not at all stable he had been walking back and forth and lay on his bed and get up again when he was at his home. At work, he would be just continue working like crazy and would not talk to anyone. It continued liked that for days. On weekends he would sometimes drove to Busan primary school to get glimpse of Mina. He still could not bring himself to go and get things clear with. Why was he here, looking for her then? Does the night had effect of his emotions..? Eunwoo still knew he was at wrong. He had seen Mina for years although they just kind of get to know each other lately when he visited Busan to get some of his emotions off from Rose. Mina definitely had effect on his healing. He was sure Mina was not the type of liking men easily. She was more or innocent ordinary lady that many men overlooked too. He had no right to do what he had done that night. He did not how it came to him. But then, at that night, he lost his innocence as much as she was.

His family members noticed his strange behaviour.

One evening, Kim Seokjin came into his room.

"Brother.. Eunwoo.. you are having something hiding from us right. You had never been like this before. Not even when you got rejected by Rose!"

"It's nothing brother!"

"Don't lie to me!"

Eunwoo could see his elder brother eyes were sharp.

Eunwoo sighed.

"I ..I ..slept with Mina!"
