Dream Love : Dream Land

That day, Byung-Hun and Ji-Na stood next to each other looking at their son who was lying down in the bed.  The only difference this time was that they were both smiling instead of feeling sad as always.

Since learning that Eun-Woo lives in good condition even in a different world from them, they see a hope.  To bring Eun-Woo back to this world.  Although they do not know what or how it's going to be yet, but they are now convinced that their actions don't give up on their son, will definitely bear fruit.

Plus with the presence of Jieun, their lives now feel quite complete.  It felt too easy for them to be close to the girl.  As now, they already felt that the girl was like their own child, even though they had just gotten to know each other.

They didn't say it out loud, just yet, but they really glad Eun-Woo chooses someone nice like Jieun or should they say, fate chosen them to be together. 

Apart from that, they thought that Jieun and Eun-Woo is apparently matching so well.  Making them even dreaming to hold a massive wedding for Eun-Woo and Jieun when Eun-Woo woke up one day.  And they believe it will happen.

"It's hard to believe that our son has grown up and wants to get married now."  Ji-Na breaks the silence.

"Time does flies.  I also already started to have a gray hair here and there." Byung-Hun playfully said.

Ji-Na laughs a bit.  Its so true. Just in the blink of an eyes they are getting old, whether they realize it or not.  They are too busy in their life to find cure for their son without take a moment to find time to care for themselves.  But, they are never complaining about that.  Because they are, a parents.

Ding Dong!  Ding Dong!

Byung-Hun and Ji-Na look at each other, after hearing the sudden noise that interrupting them.  Which they actually expecting.

"They are here."  Ji-Na said a bit nervous.  While Byung-Hun, he didn't show it, but he did quite thrill to face the situation.

"Let's go open the door shall we."  He said.

With that both of them walked quickly to the front door of the house.  Didn't want the guest to wait for too long.  They finally there, open the door and smiling happily, welcoming the guests.

"Jieun!"

Ji-Na who sees Jieun continues to hug her at that time as if they haven't seen each other for long, while actually they haven't seen each other for only two days.   

"Aunty ..."  Jieun also greet the woman with the same excitement.

While with the men,

"It's not hard to find a way to get here right?"  Byung-Hun said while extending his hand to shake hands with Beom-Soo, Jieun's father.

Beom-Soo welcomed the extended hand and replied,

"With GPS its surely not."  Looking at that dull greeting make Jieun and Ji-Na sweat dropped at that.  That is really awkward 'plain' greeting.

Both  the families actually speak a few times together on the phone, knowing each other.  But this is the first time they're officially meeting each other, face to face like this.  It's hard to find a good time, but they finally did it.  Is like greeting between two families before the marriage.

They actually move quite fast, even the marriage has not yet taken place, the five of them together with Melanie, already make a chat room called 'My Family' now.  And its hectic in there.  All of them is sending messages every single day there, non stop.

After coming inside the house, Beom-Soo is brought to meet with his future son in law before they take any longer. 

For a quite long time, he watched Eun-Woo without speaking until Jieun who was standing next to him at that moment wondered what was on her father's mind right now. 

But, after a minute, Beom-Soo finally make a comment.

"Are you sure you are getting married to him not because of his handsome look?"  Beum-Soo sneakily make fun of Jieun right there.  Relieved the situation then.

"Dad!"  Jieun feel like sulking now.

"Why are you saying like that here?  You're embarrassing me. "  She is now kind of whispering, but still can be heard by Byung-Hun and Ji-Na who are also there.  Jieun's face turned red at that time because of the teased.

"Well he is taking after me. " Byung-Hun praises himself.

"As I am trying hard to find and see the resemblance, I only can find Mrs Ji-Na in his face. "  A bit sarcastic, but that kind of humor is entertained both of the men as both of them now laughing quite loud.

Ji-Na and Jieun can only shake their heads at the lameness of the two old men.

"Alright now, enough of that.  Let's go out and eat or the food will be cold."  Ji-Na invites.  She is already prepared things for that small ceremony.  After leaving the room, they all sat in the living room while enjoying a small buffet there.

"This is a lot aunty.  You must be tired preparing all this by yourself.  You don't have to you know."  Jieun said thankfully.  Not just that day actually, every time she came for sure she was treated to a special meal.  She also had time to learn one or two of Eun-Woo's favorite dishes.  If possible she wanted to cook that for him in Dream Land.  One day, she said in her mind.

"I'm not tired at all after I saw you finish eating it, as you usually does."  Ji-Na said happily.  She is actually shocking to see Jieun, who is that skinny like that, can eat so much.  Jieun definitely been blessed.  That what she thought.

"I'm sorry that you have to come all the way here while you are a family from the women's side.  As me and my wife current circumstances, not really allow us to move here and there freely."  Meanwhile, Byung-Hun starts chatting with Beom-Soo after taking their respective meals.

"It's okay.  I understand.  It's not a must.  As long as we can get to know each other that's enough.  I suppose to thank you as you all took a good care of Jieun like your own daughter.  I actually feel really happy seeing that.  As she lost her mother when she was 12, I was worried if she lacked love, but now I find so many people loving her and I am so grateful. "  Beom-Soo said as he looked at his daughter who was now sitting next to him. 

"We are the ones who should be thankful. Jieun is a very wonderful girl.  Our life before it was a little dull is now much happier with her presence."  Ji-Na said honestly about what she feels about the girl.  She also knows that her husband is feeling the same.

Jieun frowns her nose, for refraining from smiling proudly at the time.  She couldn't stand herself when they each praised her openly like that.  Ji-Na then turn back to Jieun and suddenly ask something a bit personal.

"Jieun, if I can ask you, what do you actually feel about Eun-Woo?  I know you're getting married because of some circumstances, but you can't just get married like that if you don't have any feeling right?  If I recall there also other princes there, so why Eun-Woo? " 

That question definitely caught Jieun off guard and making her who was chewing something, now choke.

"Oh my!  Look what you've done.  Why are you asking her that?"  Byung-Hun scolded his wife a little.

Beom-Soo massaged his daughter's back.  Trying to help.

While Ji-Na is now in fast, pouring water for the girl.

"I'm so sorry.  I just curious.  You don't have to answer that."  Ji-Na said apologetically.

"Cough... Cough..."  Jieun still let out a small cough so she can't answer it yet.  After drinking two sips of water, she's finally returned to normal.

"Its okay aunty Ji-Na.  I know you must ask questions as you are his mother.  If I have a child, I probably ask the same."  Jieun said, clearly not offended by the question.  But she is feeling a little shy then.

Jieun wanted to keep staying true to herself so she tries to answer the question honestly.

"Actually, I never thought of getting married at all. I'm just 23, never had a boyfriend in my life and suddenly one day I got a fiancée in the other world that I cannot refuse. I'm sure it is the same to Eun-Woo.  Both of us are the victims of the situation.  But we both want to stay positive in this. "

Jieun started. 

"Before marriage, even brought upon us, we always encounter each other, especially in hardest time, making me somehow built a trusting little by little to him and unknowingly I depend on his the most now, always.  And Eun-Woo never once refuse to help.  And that's how our relationship started.  We cannot say that we are romantically involved, but we decided to start slowly as a friend, probably a bit special with that.  As we both wanted this marriage to work.  We are not playing around about this as we know we need each other.  Eun- Woo also said, he is comfortable being with me, and I am also feeling the same. "  Jieun said at length.

After she has finished talking, her face is becoming so warmer than before.  She knows that her face must be red as a tomato now.  She is also lowering her gaze because she is too embarrassed to cross eyes with those who are there.

"To conclude all what she just said, it means that she is attracted to Eun-Woo.  Like I said before, she definitely falls for his best look."  With an indifferent face, Beom-Soo comment on that while facing his future in-laws.  He actually did that to reduce his daughter's embarrassment.

"I actually know it from the start."  And Byung-Hun also decides to play along with that.

"Uncle!  Dad!"  Jieun now, with a grim face, pretend to be angry at being teased again at the time.  Inviting laughter from them all.

"Anyway, Eun-Woo and I wanted you all blessing for our next journey as a family.  So please, keep supporting us."  With that, Jieun get up from her seat and bowing to all of them.  As a sign of respect.

Byung-Hun, Ji-Na and also Beom-so didn't say anything after that..  They are just smiling at the girl, but inside their heart, they already give both Jieun and Eun-Woo, their pray and blessing.
