7. Not Explicitly Stated

Summary: “I know that gods roam the earth because I used to walk with them”, Haneul is an immortal being with powers that most humans would kill for. When Haneul gambles with the gods, she loses her powers and without her powers she’s cursed to die by the next full moon. She hurries to get her powers back with the help from the last person Haneul wants to be around: a demon.

Pairing: Demon!Hongjoong X Fem!O/c

Word count: 3,583

Warnings: mythical creatures, mentions of getting cursed, spiritual messages, mentions of religions, cussing, allusions to smut, mentions of loss of blood and drinking blood, mentions of possession, mentions of magic usage, mentions of death, death, violence, drinking, gambling, other idols are mentioned, pet names (darling, babe, baby, my dear), deals, misogyny, mentions of illness and postpartum depression.

Lee Haneul was born as a gift from the Heavens, or that’s at least what her mother told her. Between her dazed stated and the days where all she did was sleep, Ryu Dal-rae explained where Haneul came from. It was known to the girl that she was the only child her parents could have, her father’s attitude told her that. What wasn’t known to her was that Haneul came from the gods.

Close to their little village was what the villagers liked to call “The Heavens”, it was plot of land close to the road where travelers stopped and traded. It had no usual vendors nor did it sell the usual items, its vendors consisted of the very many gods.

You could not trade for cloth or feed for your animal, but for magic. Many people flocked for this small taste of magic, wanting their wishes to be granted. The villagers asked for help with things for their families or the village.

“Please grant us a good harvest.”

“Please let my daughter marry a rich man.”

“Would you please make sure my animals grow healthy and strong.”

“Allow my son to get a good job as an official.”

They flocked in huge groups but many wishes and magical items came with their price, some costed the person a year of servitude for the god or their first born, sometimes it costed them their memories. Dal-rae had always tried to be the best for her family, she never talked back to her parents and did her chores without any issues, she took care of her family and always did what they said and this included going to meet the Gods.

Dal-rae watched as her friends raced off through the stalls, she always stood just outside of the circle watching as those made deals with the “devils”. As she grew and matured, the woman forgot about the Gods. Instead she welcomed the arraigned marriage, that her parents found, with open arms wanting to be the best wife for her husband.

The man she married was harsh and aggressive, resenting his parents for the arraigned marriage. Dal-rae tried her best for the marriage, as she did with her parents but there was one thing she wasn’t able to do for her husband. She wasn’t able to have kids, no matter how hard she tried. Dal-rae tried everything, going to every physician and tried every elixir they suggested. Dal-rae tried going to Shamans, hoping that a blessing would change her circumstances but nothing ever did.

The woman became more depressed, as her body betrayed her desire to do the only thing she could do. She watched as all her other friends and the women in her village gave birth to their sons who grew up to be great young men and with that, her shame and sadness grew. All Dal-rae wanted was a child, but all she got was shame from her village and family and even her own husband started to become revolted by her.

The only thing that brought her happiness was the daily walks through nature Dal-rae took. It made her think of when she was younger, when she would chase after frogs after filling the buckets with water from the stream. Her mind raced but the second she started singing, it seemed like everything faded away until one day she wasn’t the only one humming.

Dal-rae had wandered to close to the place she always stayed away from, she hissed as a boy ran into her. The woman took a couple steps forward to steady herself but her eyes searched the stalls, the people seemed so happy as they sold and bought. A smile crossed her face for a second as she wondered why her parents kept her away from such a happy place, her feet moved faster than her mind and before she knew it; Dal-rae had crossed over into “The Heavens”.

It felt different inside the market, more energized but also so draining. Dal-rae had never felt so driven before but also so tired and sad, she drug her feet forward and fell to her knees in front of one of the Goddesses.

“Please!” The woman cried. “Please grant me a wish, I’ll do anything for you.”

Her hands reached out, her mind too clouded to think reasonably and her hands clasped onto the Goddess’s dress. It went silent and those around the two gasped, the mortals whispering to each other as the Gods were frozen too scared to approach the distraught woman or furious Goddess.

“You dare to touch me moral?” The Goddess spat out and tried to pull her dress from the woman’s hands

Dal-rae didn’t let go, “I beg of you, I’ve done everything right.”

She clung on for dear life and a circle cleared around them. Everyone was sure there was fire in the Goddess’s eyes, as her jaw clenched tightly. Women covered the children’s eyes sure that this was the last they would see of the woman.

“Get off me, you don’t deserve to touch me.” She brought her hand back and hit the woman, it was hard enough to push Dal-rae off of her but she just continued to beg for the Goddess’s help. “I’ll give you anything you want, money, servitude, my family. Please.”

The Goddess opened her mouth to bark something at the woman but another voice called from the crowd. “Jowangshin.”

The deep voice made everyone jump except Dal-rae who was now on her knees and crying into the ground. The crowd parted like the seas and a man walked into the middle, his gaze piercing as he glared at the Goddess. More people started whispering as they saw Mireuk, he stopped in front of Jowangshin.

“What is going on?” He asked

“Didn’t you see her, she grabbed me.” She hissed but Mireuk stepped closer to her. “That is your job, you comfort humans and grant their wish.”

“Then you do it.”

Dal-rae felt a hand on her shoulder, and slowly she sat up looking at the person. A smile covered her face as she saw another God.

“What is wrong my child?” He asked softly, the woman brought her hands up begging the God. “Please grant me a wish.”

“And what is that?”

“Please give me a child, my husband won’t look at me and I’m an outcast in my own village.” She cried before wiping away her tears

The God let out a sigh, he was stuck with a predicament. He had to make a deal with her, that was his whole job but the woman was so broken. She had no one, the man she had been married to wasn’t even there for her and she had been ostracized from her village.

“I’ll make you a deal, I’ll grant you your wish.” Dal-rae et out a sigh at his words almost jumping forward and pulling him into a hug. “Thank you so much, you are a powerful God.”

“But-“ He said pushing the woman back. “If it is a boy, he will inherit his father’s anger and hatred. But if it a girl- are you sure you want this?”

“Yes.”

“You’ll loose what you value the most.”

9 months later, Dal-rae wish was granted. Haneul was born healthy but her mother fell into a sickness, bedridden and unable to take care of the newborn so the job fell onto Yong-sam. He found it hard and uncomfortable at first, unsure how to take care of a baby along with his usual routine but as she grew he found a way. Yong-sam tried to teach Haneul as his son, shamed that he had a daughter instead of a son.

“Hold your sword up Haneul.” The young girl held up the stick she was using as a sword. It was bigger than her and felt like twice her weight

Her arms felt tired from picking it up and holding it over and over again for what felt like a hour. Yong-sam gave a smile before going on with his lesson.

“Now you never want to hold it-“ Haneul zoned out as she stared off, she tried to listen but what her father was talking about was boring

She stared off, watching as the other children ran off. They squealed and laughed as they played, chasing after each other. It looked like fun.

“Pay attention.” Yong-sam hit the back of his daughter’s head, “you need to know how to hold a sword if you want to use one.”

Haneul rubbed the back of her head and looked back at her father, he picked up his own and showed Haneul who followed his lead. The man continued with the basics and Haneul just followed along, every once in a while looking over at the kids playing.

One of the girls stopped, facing Haneul. She laughed and smiled, holding up her hand and beckoned for Haneul to come play. She smiled back at the other girl, know her well and wanting to play.

“I want you to hit me Haneul.” Yong-sam’s voice pull Haneul into the present. “As hard as you can and with good form.”

The young girl tightened her hands around the stick and lifted it up. Haneul groaned and wobbled a bit before running up to her father and pushing the stick forward, it barely moved and did nothing to her father. He gave a laugh as he pushed the stick away and watched the young girl pant.

“You call that hitting? I want you to try with all your might.” He egged her on

Haneul shook her head and took a breath, “dad, I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t think sword fighting is for me, can I go play?”

Yong-sam’s expression changed, he clenched his jaw as his eyes glared down at his daughter. He was stupid for thinking of training Haneul as a son, she would always be a daughter and wouldn’t bring anything but shame to him.

“Fine, go on.” He spat and Haneul smiled racing off to see her friend

Yong-sam wanted a child that wouldn’t bring him shame and Haneul wanted someone to understand her. Neither would get what they wanted, at least not in this lifetime.

••••

“Next time can you find someone who can actually help me?”

“What do you mean? Didn’t Yeosang help you?”

Haneul rolled her eyes, “no he didn’t, he just told me about another guy who can help me. Something called a Dokkaebi I don’t know what that is.”

Hongjoong let out a laugh, he had many run in with Dokkaebi, they were fun because of how mischievous they were. He had so many fun memories because of Dokkaebi’s but they also were mean.

“What are you laughing at?” Haneul eyed the Demon but he just shook his head. “Nothing.”

“I didn’t even know a Demon could laugh, I always thought they were just cackle menacingly.” Haneul told Hongjoong as they walked back down the path

“And I didn’t think Gods had feelings.” The Demon crossed his arms but Haneul held her finger up. “Ah not a god.”

He rolled his eyes and mumbled, “yeah you’re just a human now.”

Haneul stopped and turned to the Demon about to say something when a hand grabbed her arm and pulled her away. San pulled the girl away from Hongjoong, his big hands clamped on her shoulders.

“Are you okay? Did anything happen?” He bombarded her with question, Haneul just laughed and placed her hand on his. “San I’m fine, I’m glad you’re worrying about me. Can we just go home.”

She bent down and slowly picked up the umbrella, the rain had lightened up but San was drenched. Haneul smiled at him and turned away, getting into the car.

“Don’t look so eager San, your puppy is showing.” Hongjoong walked past San, and opened the car door

San let out a growl and got into the driver seat, the car sped down the road and back into town. It looked better than it had that morning, San lagged at bit behind the Demon and Haneul.

“Had he really been asleep for a hundred years?” She asked and Hongjoong nodded. “Yeah, last time he had seen the city cars were becoming big.”

“Wah, image how weird that be going to sleep when cars were barely a thing and waking up when you have so much knowledge in the palm of your hand.” She giggled and looked back at San. “Right San.”

“Yeah.” He answered and pushed past them, walking up to the door of his cafe

He pulled his keys out but when he grabbed the door, it opened. His eyebrows furrowed as San got ready to fight whoever was stupid enough to steal from a werewolf, his hand opened up and his claw grew. Hongjoong pushed Haneul behind him as the two men walked in.

“Finally some damn service.” A voice spat out

“Who are you?” San saw the man sitting in his cafe, Hongjoong stood by San making a wall in front of Haneul

The unknown man stood up, “someone called for a Dokkaebi.”

Haneul’s eyes went wide as she perked up, her feet pulled her up to the men as she looked around them.

“That was me.” She said and the two men relaxed, San closed his hand hiding his claws. “Yeosang said that a Dokkaebi could help.”

“We have to hurry, I’m kinda wanted by Mireuk.” He said and Haneul gasped almost running up to him. “Do you know the gods?”

Wooyoung stepped backwards, making some space between them. “You know who you’re talking to, unlike those two over there I have a creator that I work for.”

“Yeah Seokga-“ Hongjoong stopped San before he could say anymore. Haneul glared back at San. “Can you help me. I need to get to the gods.”

“I could help you but why should I?” He asked and crossed his arms, Hongjoong was the one to step forward. “Because I’m sure there’ll be some mischief along the way, and no Dokkaebi would be willing to say no.”

The Goblin opened and closed his mouth, Hongjoong and San smiled knowing they had cornered him. Wooyoung gulped, they were right he sure did love mischief.

“How about we talk over some food.” Haneul said begging, needing the help from the gods and this Goblin was the only thing standing in her way

“Yes!” He answered. “A plate of buckwheat jelly, Sorghum and red bean rice cakes would be nice.”

Haneul founded herself sitting, on the edge of her seat, in front of the Goblin watching as he shoved food into his mouth. The smell of buckwheat and red bean filled the cafe, San walked out from behind the counter and placed a plate of red bean cakes on the table. Wooyoung smiled and thanked the werewolf through a mouthful of food.

“So how do you know Yeosang?” Hongjoong asked standing away from the others. Wooyoung looked up. “We’re friends or well we were friends. Since he couldn’t use his powers outside of the forest, he relied on me. That was before he met you.”

The man glared over at Hongjoong before going back to eating, he smiled as he shoved another spoonful of food into his mouth. Haneul became impatient and so she blurted out:

“Can you find the gods?” Wooyoung froze as he looked back up at Haneul. “Didn’t I just tell you I’m wanted by Mireuk.”

Haneul leaned back and huffed out, “I wouldn’t think that would stop a Dokkaebi.”

The metal chopsticks fell from his hand and clattered on the plate. “What for? Why do you need them?”

“I don’t have to explain myself to a Goblin.” She hissed out angering the man more. “Fine but it’ll take a couple of days.”

“What!” Haneul yelled out. “I can’t wait a couple days, can’t you just teleport to wherever they are.”

“If that was possible then why don’t you.” Wooyoung stood up yelling back at the woman. “If it was so easy why did you want my help or Yeosang’s huh?”

“Shut up, just shut up.” Haneul slammed her hands against the table as her eyes filled with tears

She got up and turned, rushing out of the shop as San and Hongjoong yelled after her but Haneul just continued forward. She wanted to be alone or drunk or asleep, Haneul just didn’t want to be here right now. Her hands flew up to her face as she wiped the tears falling from her eyes.

••••

The music was enough to drown out Haneul’s feelings but the alcohol was just a bonus. She swayed to the music, letting herself get lost as she continued sipping on her drink. Haneul usually wouldn’t be caught dead in a club or anyplace with loud music and alcohol. That’s where the Gods hung out and Haneul never considered herself a god but that was before her life was shaved down to 27 days.

Her heart raced and her head was fuzzy, but she wasn’t drunk and was barely tipsy. The stupid memory from that Goblin weighed on her mind, and her mind refused to blackout. Between the memories of her old life and the wild goose chase for her powers, Haneul just wanted to live as a human for her last couple of days. So she took another shot and found herself on the dance floor.

This place was Hongjoong’s home, it’s where his powers thrived and he seemed to be more alive. His eyes darted around the club, eyeing some girls as his body screamed for him to relax and chase after those girls. His mind told him otherwise, find Haneul and he groaned every time he remembered. If his past self had seen him now chasing after a human girl, he would’ve been livid but the Demon justified it as his survival. Hongjoong felt like he was babysitting Haneul but it was for his survival, Hongjoong had to make sure she was safe so that he was safe.

The Demon pushed through the crowd, hissing under his breath about how this was stupid. The crowd cleared for a second and Hongjoong saw Haneul, she stood in the middle of the floor jumping and dancing around. He was frozen for a second, she seemed like she was having fun something that was…unusual for Haneul. Ever since he had met her, the woman never seemed like the type to let loose and just have fun. Hongjoong almost didn’t want to stop her fun and just watch her but he shook the thought out of his head.

“Haneul!” He called her name as he got closer to her. “Haneul, let’s go.”

He grabbed her hand, pulling her from her clouded mind but she pulled back. “No, leave me alone.”

Hongjoong sighed, from the slurring of her words and the reek of alcohol told all that he needed. “How many drinks have you had?”

“Not enough to make me not remember your nagging voice.” She answered basically yelling over the music. He really did feel like a babysitter. “You can’t just fall into alcohol to ease the pain.”

She let out a laugh, “you’re sounding like San now, I thought you were supposed to be the fun one.” Haneul hissed before hitting his shoulder and walking off into the crowd

He let out another low groan as his hands clenched into fist, reminding himself that he couldn’t do anything but protect her. Hongjoong turned around, as Haneul disappeared into the crowd, and chased after her. Finalized he found the woman standing over at the bar, his eyes wide as he saw what she was about to drink.

“Thank you.” He said as he pulled the nectar from her hands. Haneul glared at the Demon. “Are you trying to kill yourself? You can’t have nectar as a human.”

She clicked her tongue before spitting out. “it’s better than just waiting to die. Why do you care anyways.”

“I can’t lose the person keeping me alive.”

“Stop saying that to me! You don’t love me, it’s just one of your tricks. Just leave me alone.”

Haneul pushed past the Demon again, stumbling towards the door and out into the night. She fell onto a bench close by as tears clouded her vision, Haneul never wanted it to end this way but she guessed she would never get her happy ending. The woman stared up at the sky, looking up at the stars always calmed Haneul but she couldn’t help but let the tears pour.

“Do you like watching me suffer? Why do you keep on following me?” Haneul sighed not even looking over at the Demon to know that he was there. Hongjoong just laughed. “You won’t like the answer.”

“Can’t you leave a dying Goddess in peace?”

“Ha you finally admit you’re a Goddess?”

“No I just- it’s uh just. I’ma go back inside-“

Haneul was cut off as the Demon moved, he got down on his knee’s in front of her. His eyes almost seemed to shine with love and happiness and the sight made the fuzziness in her head disappear and reappear in her stomach.

“Let me take you home, you’re in no shape to go out.” He said softly with a smile

Haneul had weird feeling in her gut, something new and unusual. Hongjoong knew that he was obligated to protect Haneul but there was nothing explicitly stated about falling in love.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung’s Characters Find Their Happy Ending

The Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ has come to an end with its 20th episode, delivering a satisfying conclusion for the characters and the viewers. The superhero action drama, based on the webtoon by Kang Full, starred Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and other talented actors as people with hidden superpowers who fight against dark forces.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: The Final Battle

(Photo : Disney+) The finale episode began with a tense showdown between Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Joon Hwa (Yang Dong Geun), a North Korean soldier who also has the ability to fly. Mi Hyun was in danger of being killed by Joon Hwa, but her son Kim Bong Seok (Lee Jung Ha) came to her rescue and fought against him. However, Mi Hyun wanted Bong Seok to run away, knowing that the North Korean troop leader Kim Deok Yoon (Park Hee Soon) was aiming a gun at him. Fortunately, Bong Seok was saved by Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun), who used his electromagnetic power to kill Joon Hwa. Deok Yoon then tried to escape with the files that contained the secrets of the superpowered people, but he was chased by Jang Joo Won (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) to the rooftop.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Joo Won and Jae Man confronted Deok Yoon, who revealed that he had been working for Frank (Ryoo Seung Bum), a mysterious man who wanted to use the superpowers for his own agenda. Deok Yoon also confessed that he was the one who killed Jae Man’s father 50 years ago, when he was part of a secret mission to capture the superpowered people. Deok Yoon then tried to jump off the building with the files, but he was stopped by Joo Won, who grabbed his arm. Jae Man then shot Deok Yoon in the chest, causing him to fall. Joo Won managed to hold on to the files and pulled himself up.

The Aftermath

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) A year later, the superpowered people were living normal lives without being hunted by anyone. Jang Hee Soo (Go Youn Jung) and Lee Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) graduated from high school with their parents’ attendance, except for Bong Seok and Mi Hyun, who had gone into hiding since the incident. Joo Won continued his chicken business with Kwon Young Deuk (Park Gwang Jae), a former North Korean soldier who became his assistant. Hee Soo entered the university’s physical education department and became friends with Shin Hye Won (Shim Dal Gi), a girl who had super speed. Kang Hoon visited Mr. Min (Moon Sung Geun), the head of the NIS, and expressed his desire to join the agency with one condition: to clear his father’s name from criminal records. Mr. Min agreed and revealed that Kang Hoon’s father was actually a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the superpowered people from Frank.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Kang Hoon also met the school guard and his classmate who disguised themselves as part of Jeonwon High School, but in reality they were high-ranking NIS officials who had been monitoring the superpowered people. Bong Seok and Mi Hyun left town and lived a peaceful life in a rural area. They occasionally received letters from Hee Soo and Kang Hoon, who updated them on their lives. Hee Soo also told them about a superhero wearing a yellow cape who appeared in Seoul and saved people from danger. In the last scene, it was revealed that the superhero was Kim Doo Shik (Zo In Sung), Bong Seok’s father and Mi Hyun’s husband, who had been held captive by Frank for 50 years. He managed to escape with the help of Park Il Chan (Jo Bok Rae), a North Korean soldier who sympathized with him. Doo Shik returned to South Korea and killed Frank, who had been hiding as an American businessman named Mark (Daniel C Kennedy). He then reunited with his family and hugged them tightly.

The Reviews

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) The final episode of ‘Moving’ received positive reviews from both critics and viewers, who praised the cast’s performances, the director’s skills, and the writer’s creativity. The series also achieved high ratings on Disney+, becoming one of the most-watched original shows on the platform. Some of the comments from netizens are: “I’m so happy that they all got their happy endings. Especially Doo Shik, he deserved it after suffering for so long.” “This was such a great series. The action scenes were amazing, the story was engaging, and the characters were lovable. I’m going to miss them so much.” “Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Zo In Sung are such legends. They nailed their roles and made me feel all kinds of emotions. I hope they work together again in the future.” “Moving was one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. It stayed true to the webtoon but also added some twists and surprises. Kang Full is a genius and Park In Je is a master.” “I’m so glad that I watched this show. It was a roller coaster ride of action, drama, comedy, and romance. It had everything I wanted and more. Thank you to the cast and crew for this masterpiece.” What do you think of the final episode of ‘Moving’? Did you enjoy the series? Share your thoughts and leave a comment below.

Okay, but I need a fic where Cha Young is sick and Vincenzo is taking care of her à la The Hating Game.

Give me a Vincenzo who is fretting as every minute passes because Cha Young hasn’t come in for work nor is she answering her phone, and Mr. Nam who is also low-key anxious, because even though Cha Young is not always the most punctual person, the only time the two lawyers come in late is if they’ve stopped by a cafe to get coffees for the three of them, and Cassano Byeonhosanim is already here in the Jipuragi office so where is Hong Byeonhosanim?

Give me a Cha Young who was so sick the night before, she forgot to charge her phone at night, and her now dead phone has some 20 missed calls from Vincenzo and Mr. Nam each.

Give me a worried Vincenzo who drives as fast as he can to Cha Young’s house; who walks in (of course he knows the code and has his own set of spare keys to her house) and is surprised to see the kitchen a mess (because Cha Young isn’t fastidious, but she does hate a messy kitchen); and who heaves a huge sigh of relief to see her bundled under her blankets when he walks into her room.

Although that relief doesn’t last long when he realises just how sick she is. Give me Vincenzo placing a cool, damp washcloth on her forehead, forcing her to take meds and holding her hair when she throws up. Give me Vincenzo gently stroking her hair, and a very feverish Cha Young softly calling out “Eomma.. Abeoji.. Cenzo..” in her sleep.

Give me Mr. Nam dropping by with an overnight bag for Vincenzo (because there’s no way he’s going to leave Cha Young’s when she’s so sick).

Give me Ms. Kwak preparing and bringing over some juk and other comfort food, because Cha Young needs to eat home cooked food, and her juk always does the trick when Yeong Ho is sick. Also, she’s not sure if Mr. Cassano can cook. And she’s pretty sure he hasn’t given a thought to his meals either.

Give me Cheol Wook, Yeon Jin and Dal Rae dropping by with some fruits. The fruits are just an excuse -- Yeon Jin looks after Cha Young while Cheol Wook and Dal Rae make sure Vincenzo finally takes a few minutes to eat something. Also, little Dal Rae is the only one who succeeds in making her godfather smile (albeit a small one) that day.

Give me Han Seo, Mr. Cho, Mr. Tak, Director Ahn and Seok Do, all calling up Vincenzo in turns and offering to drive them both to the E.R. should the need arise. Han Seo offers to get his noona the best doctors from the best hospital in Seoul and even pay for the entire VIP floor of the hospital if needed.

Give me Mi Ri and Monk Chae Shin dropping by with tea and vitamins for Cha Young and offering to do small chores around the house like tidying up the kitchen. Give me Cha Young finally feeling a little better and telling Vincenzo he doesn’t need to stay, he can go home and rest now, she’ll be alright and him looking at her with the most intense look in his eyes and the softest, most resolute No, and that’s the end of that. Give me Cha Young hobbling to the bathroom to freshen up, and stopping in her tracks when she sees the now tidied up kitchen and living room, and all the food on her dining table, courtesy the Geumga family. Give me Cha Young leaning into Vincenzo for support, who is half hugging her and reassuringly rubbing her shoulder, and her tearing up slightly, because after her Abeoji’s death she thought she would never have a family again, but times like these make her so thankful for their crazy family. Give me Vincenzo changing the sheets on her bed and opening the windows in her room to let some fresh air in, while she’s in the bathroom freshening up.

Give me Yeong Ho dropping by in the evening because of an errand Mr. Cassano asked of him as a special favour: he’s brought them bungeoppang! Give me Cha Young and Vincenzo relaxing in the living room, because Cha Young is feeling much better now and she needs a change from her bedroom. They’re both on the couch watching the latest melo drama, with Cha Young’s feet in Vincenzo’s lap, and him cutting an apple into slices for her.

And imagine the amused expressions on both their faces when their Geumga Cassano family group chat blows up because everyone is texting to check in and see how the two of them are doing. And then Vincenzo does something very unlike him: he sends them a selfie of the two of them. And then the group chat really blows up, and Cha Young can’t stop laughing. But also, aish, did you have to take a pic when I’m looking like that, huh? And imagine Soo Nam texting “just get married already, why don’t you” and immediately deleting his text. But of course everyone’s seen it. Vincenzo and Cha Young don’t mention it to each other though. Although Vincenzo is already cursing Soo Nam in his head, because he already has a plan.

Give me Cha Young falling asleep as she lays huddled to Vincenzo’s side, and him arranging a throw around her, stroking her hair and kissing the top of her head softly, and then leaning back and closing his eyes and settling for a nap himself. Give me Cha Young waking up a few mins later, and seeing this sweet, tired man finally resting, and she smiles to herself and kisses his cheek and then snuggles again into him and closes her eyes. She’s finally feeling better.

Give me Cha Young and Vincenzo having dinner a couple hours later, with him low-key fussing over her because she needs to eat more to keep her strengths up. Give me Vincenzo handing Cha Young her meds, tucking her into bed once she’s taken them while she reiterates yet again that she’s fine, and him kissing her forehead and telling her to sleep well and then settling into the bedding that he’s laid on the floor by her bedside. Give me both of them having a staring match from their respective beds, until Vincenzo dozes off first, and Cha Young reaches out and touches his hair, now down and curling across his forehead, and mutters a soft gomawoyo, before giving in to sleep herself.

A Chance of Fate (Lee Know) - Chapter 2 - We'll replace the broken plates

Story masterlist - please consult it for the summary of the story, trigger warnings etc.

Wattpad | AO3

Chapter 1 | Chapter 3

---

Chapter 2 - We'll replace the broken plates

Chapter word count: 3.3k words

You woke up, the clock on the wall reading 9 AM.

Even though you only had 6 hours of sleep, you felt well rested and your back hurt less than last night. Minho showed you to an empty bedroom and you dozed off as soon as your head hit the pillow, so you didn’t have any time to look around.

Now, being awake, however, you were able to take in your surroundings more. You could tell that the building was a bit old. The walls in the room were a pale shade of blue, probably painted over a decade ago; a small wooden desk and a chair stood near the window, and there was a bookshelf on the wall that had a few books in it. Other than that, the room was empty.

Your feet hurt badly, appearing to be still swollen, but you decided you couldn’t stay in bed any longer and you couldn’t continue to take advantage of Minho’s kindness. So, despite your feet and the horrible nausea, you went downstairs back to the restaurant and headed to the kitchen, where big piles of dishes stood in the sink and near it, as if looking at you threateningly. Considering that the place was empty, you figured Minho was still asleep.

You decided you would help by doing the dishes and afterwards you would go your merry way, trying out other shelters on the other side of the city and, as a last resort, a police station. The thought of going to the police for help made you wince, but you were slowly starting to get used to the possibility of having to expose and possibly confront your ex. After all, what other choices did you have?

After the dishes were done, you took a seat in the empty restaurant and frowned. Your feet hurt even worse than before. How were you going to be able to walk as much as you wanted to today? You also glanced outside, and noticed snow piled up last night, and then looked at your shoes and beat yourself up for not wearing some boots instead of these worn-out sneakers, completely inappropriate for the weather and definitely not water resistant.

A bitter smile invaded your face, when suddenly the front door opened.

“Dal-Rae? Are you still here?” Han’s voice echoed through the place.

“Oh, hello!” you nodded shortly, but didn’t get up, letting your feet rest just a moment longer. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m working here, remember?” he chuckled.

“Pff” you scoffed. “I meant so early!”

“10 AM is not early though?! Are you as lazy as Minho?” he teased, a grin escaping on his face.

“C’mon, don’t tell me you didn’t wish to stay in bed longer today!”

“Well, there were still the dishes left so I thought I’d come do them before we open up at 12. Minho likes to sleep in when there’s a busy night ahead, and considering it’s Friday and there’s a football game, the place’ll be full.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. So, wish me luck against the dish-monster- wait, where the fuck are the dishes?!” he exclaimed, making you chuckle, your face then turning neutral.

“I did the bitches.” You crossed your arms in front of your chest and replied in a serious tone, as if you were in an action movie. Han made a surprised expression and started laughing his ass off.

“Let’s have some breakfast then! Or did you also eat?”

“No, I haven’t.” You smiled and watched Han disappear in the kitchen. How could’ve you possibly eaten anything and take even more of Minho’s things?

Soon after, the smell of fried eggs and bacon invaded your nostrils. Han came with two plates and a bread basket in one hand, and two glasses of water in the other.

“Your balance amazes me. I’m so clumsy, I’d drop everything” you said in a joking manner and chuckled, but you were truly impressed by how smooth Han moved with everything in his hands.

“It’s just practice. I did break a couple plates at first, but after experiencing Minho’s fury, I had to learn.”

He chuckled and took the seat opposite to you and started munching on the eggs and bacon. Still, you hesitated, much like last night, and Han frowned.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“I… uhm… is this really okay? Maybe we should’ve asked Minho first, before-”

“Ask him? What for?” Han started chuckling. “You’re so silly, Dal-Rae.”

“What if he gets upset? I mean, maybe he planned a recipe with these items and now we’re eating them all and-”

“Hey, Minho would never get upset with us eating at his place. Ever. So, don’t worry about useless things and eat up!”

“Are you sure…?” You asked, still hesitating. Making Minho upset was the last thing you wanted to do.

“Yes. I’m sure. Come on, the baby needs food as well.”

“Okay…” You nodded unsure, but picked up your fork and started eating.

It was a simple breakfast, but it meant the world to you.

You continued making some small talk, until Han dropped a bomb on you:

“Hey… I’m sorry if it’s too personal, but… what happened to you?”

You placed down your fork and sighed. The question itself didn’t bother you. After all, it was expected to be curious when someone looked like you did. The bruises were getting darker with each passing day and the morning light surely wasn’t too flattering, either. You just… didn’t expect him to be so bold about it. You were so used to sweeping everything under the rug, that Han’s boldness simply stunned you.

You were ashamed to admit how you got the bruises. You knew that it rationally wasn’t your fault, but you couldn’t help but blame yourself for staying with an abuser for so long and letting him do this to you.

“It’s… my ex. He was the one who forced this pregnancy on me, but after I started showing he just… flipped.”

“Wait wait wait- forced?”

“Mhm. I always insisted on using protection. My career was just taking off… and I didn’t think I’d make a great parent anyway. I still don’t, actually.” You chuckled bitterly. “But he wanted a family so bad, he just… took off the condom one time and didn’t tell me about it. At all.”

“What a fucking asshole.” Han exclaimed. “Stealthing is rape! I can’t believe this!”

You nodded in acknowledgement and took another deep breath before continuing your story.

“The abuse started… slowly. When I first found out I was pregnant, he was elated. I started getting super tired and had bad symptoms from the first month, so he used those against me and convinced me to quit my job and rest. I’m so stupid.”

“No, you’re not. He just tricked you.” Han looked at you sympathetically, placing a steady hand on your trembling one on the table.

“… and after I quit and became dependent on him, it was like a switch went off in his head… day by day, everything I did would be wrong and would set him off. It first started with him gripping my wrist tightly when he was upset and forcing me to look at him. Then, he started punching walls. I knew I should’ve left when he pushed me off the stairs when I was 3 months pregnant. I almost lost my baby back then, but I kept hoping he would change, so I stayed… Dumb, I know. But I didn’t have anywhere else to go. I didn’t want my baby to grow up in a broken home and I… I don’t have anyone else.”

“I’m so sorry to hear that…” Han said and caressed your hand gently.

“… I realised I should’ve left the hard way. The wall punching turned first into him slapping me, and with time he would just…” It was too difficult to keep your composure any longer, so you started sobbing and trembling, but you couldn’t stop talking now. This was the first time you confessed the abuse to anyone. If you would stop, it would just give your ex power over you once again. And he already had so, so much.

You couldn’t do this to yourself and stop. Not anymore.

“That’s okay.” Han reassured you.

“He just… started punching me. He would beat me up every few days. As soon as a bruise would heal, he would make sure I got another. And then, one night last week… he… he got angry. Angrier. He shouted at me and told me that he wished I was dead. Like that, all his problems would disappear. That’s what we are to him, apparently. A problem. So, he grabbed me by the hair and threw me on the ground…”

“It’s okay. Shh. Breathe.” Han instructed you and guided you to regulate your breathing, as it was now getting almost impossible to speak any further.

“He got on top of me and tried to strangle me.” You placed your free hand over your throat and massaged the bruises under your turtleneck. “When he realised what he was doing, he got off and told me he’s leaving on a ‘business trip’ to clear his head and have some fun and will return in a week. He threw me $7 and just left.”

“But that’s… You told us yesterday that’s all you had…” He shook his head. “What did you… what did you eat this past week?”

“Not much. Just what we had around the house.” You chuckled bitterly. “I’d like to say I packed my bags and left that same night, but I didn’t. I stayed for a few more days… Please understand me. I know it was stupid to stay, but… I didn’t know what to do at first. My anxiety got so bad, I couldn’t even sleep. I kept having nightmares of him on top of me… I would wake up in the middle of the night breathless… After a few days, I realised that this fear I had was not at all irrational… I realised that, damn, he might actually kill me if I stayed. So, in a rush, I just… packed a small bag and… and then I met you and Minho and you know the rest.”

“Fuck. You’ve been through so much.” Han sighed.

When you raised your head, you saw that he was crying with you, and that made your heart clench. You still couldn’t believe the compassion these two strangers showed you. Han listened to your story and Minho… Minho was just selfless by letting you eat his food and sleep at his place for free.

But there was a feeling burning up inside you. Deep down, you knew you didn’t deserve this compassion. You were the only one that allowed your ex the power to control your life. It was on you, so you deserved suffering like this. The only innocent one in this story was your baby, and you would protect it no matter what.

“I am so thankful to you two.” You sobbed. “But I know I can’t stay here, so, I will wait for Minho to get up, thank him, and I’ll leave-”

“Why are y’all so goddamn loud so goddamn early in the morning?” Minho came down from upstairs and interrupted you with his groggy voice, indicating that he just woke up.

The truth was that Minho’s been awake for some time now. When he first came down, he stopped on the stairs just in time to be out of sight from you and Han and listened to everything you said.

He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. How could anyone treat another human being like that – let alone their pregnant partner?

Minho’s heart was heavy from all the information, and when he heard the faltering of your voice, talking about how you had nowhere to go but would still leave so as to not disturb him anymore, his heart almost broke.

“I’m sorry” you started and wiped off some of your tears. “I must’ve talked too loudly. It won’t happen again.” You said with no hesitation, and that broke Minho even more.

He thought about how many times you probably had to apologise for speaking- for being there. You shouldn’t have to feel so self-aware… You shouldn’t have to feel like you were doing something wrong by simply talking.

“So, where do you want to go?” Minho asked and approached you, pulling your chair and kneeling in front of you with an expression on his face you couldn’t quite read.

He took off your shoes and socks despite your protests and looked at your feet.

“Where do you want to go when your feet look like this?”

He was right; they were swollen and bruised, you had calluses on almost every toe from walking so much the day before, and when Minho pushed his fingers against the soles of your feet and massaged them, it hurt you so bad, you cried out in pain.

“You can’t go anywhere like this, Dal-Rae…” he frowned and put your socks and shoes back on, getting up. “So, just stay here a bit more, until you heal. Besides, Jisung’s leaving next week, and I would need to hire some additional help anyway.” He continued with the same serious tone he’s been using with you ever since he came in the room, but his voice had some sort of softness to it.

“Wait, Han’s leaving?” you replied and turned to face the boy. “Where?”

“To University.” He said proudly and smiled from ear to ear, quickly brushing off the tears from his cheeks. “I got accepted into a music program I’ve been eyeing for some time.”

“For 4 years, to be more precise. He got rejected 3 times in a row.” Minho shrugged and teased the boy with a smile.

“That’s great, Han!!!” you replied, excitedly. “Not that you got rejected-”

“I know, I know. Thank you so much Dal-Rae!” He got up and hugged you, surprising you with the warm gesture.

“So, when are you leaving?” You continued, while Minho went to the kitchen to fix himself a plate.

“On Sunday.”

“That’s so soon! I’m really happy for you though. Make the most of the experience and sing for me sometime.” You smiled kindly and meant every word you said. You felt really close to him, even though you only met him yesterday. Perhaps it was because he spoke to you kindly when you were down. You weren’t quite sure. But still, Han held a special place in your heart already, and you were extremely proud of him.

“Yeah, we’re all super proud of the squirrel.” Minho sat down and ruffled Han’s hair lovingly. “Especially our friend Chris. He’s been his mentor all these years.”

“Yeah! Poor Chris thought he was doing something wrong because I kept getting rejected!”

“Did he?” You asked, curiosity getting the better of you.

For a short moment, you forgot that you didn’t belong there with them.

“God, no!” He laughed. “First time I failed, I didn’t hear my alarm go off and then I took forever to get ready. By the time I got to the exam hall, I was already 20 minutes too late. They apparently hate people with ADHD.” Han rolled his eyes and you chuckled.

“Then?” you continued, eyes sparkling with excitement. When was the last time you felt this way?

“Second time was purely unfair!”

Minho started laughing his ass off, probably remembering the story.

“Yahhhh!!! Don’t laugh at meee!!!” the younger boy screamed at the top of his lungs and his cheeks grew red with embarrassment.

“This dumbass got a stomach ache and rushed into the first bathroom he saw, walking in on one of his examiners.”

“That’s not so bad, though. Not a reason to fail, anyway.” You tilted your head in slight confusion.

“No, that wasn’t the reason. The thing is, he saw the examiner wiping his butt standing up and turned with his face to the toilet, and he thought it was a student, so he laughed and made fun of him.”

“Ugh, that’s…” you grimaced.

“It was only funny until it was his turn, and he came face-on with the examiner, who you can assume wasn’t so fond of him. He asked him the most difficult questions and Jisung couldn’t even get one right” Minho continued the story while Han hid his face behind his palms. “And the third-”

“AND THE THIRD TIME I FORGOT TO BRING THE STICK WITH MY SONG ON IT. END OF STORY.” Han screamed and got up, picking his dirty plate, and reaching out for yours.

“No, no, let me-” You grabbed your own plate and got up, but the ache in your right foot stung so painfully that you tripped, your hands letting go of the plate in your hands. You watched in horror how it fell to the ground, shattering, broken pieces flying everywhere.

You didn’t know what to do. You recalled that one time two months ago when you dropped a plate, earning a hard slap on your cheek from your ex. You instinctively winced back in fear and closed your eyes, apologising, expecting to hear Minho’s screams and feel his rage on you, but that never came.

Minho was not your ex.

Instead, a kind hand brushed over your hair, and a concerned expression hovered on Minho’s face.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” he asked hurriedly, looking you up-and-down and checking whether you got any cuts on you.

Han also came close to you and grabbed your hands, scanning for any damage.

“Thank God, you don’t have any scratch!” Han exclaimed and Minho let out a sigh of relief.

“Please, be careful.” Was everything Minho said, out of pure concern for you.

However, you weren’t able to read his expression and tone that well, so you assumed the worst and started apologising again for ruining one of his plates.

“Fuck the plates, we can always buy some more. I’m just glad you didn’t cut yourself.” He assured you, taking you into his warm embrace.

What a strange feeling, you thought, and with a small dash of courage you wrapped your arms around him as well. You found his warmth safe. Something strange, indeed, considering that you haven’t felt this way before. Not even with your ex. You always felt like you didn’t belong.

You realised how much you craved a closeness like this and how much you missed any form of intimacy, and you cried even harder, but you managed to ask Minho something between your sobs.

“If I stay here and help you out…”, you sniffed, “what if I break more plates?”

“Then, we’ll replace them.”

“But what if… one day you get annoyed by me breaking so many plates?”

You both knew that your question was not really about the plates. Minho contemplated quite a bit before giving you an answer you didn’t quite expect; a non-verbal one. He pulled your body closer, and you could feel your belly getting a bit squished between you two, but you didn’t mind this. And like that, he hugged you harder and spoke so softly, you almost didn’t catch it.

“I won’t let you down. So, please… just stay here for a bit longer and get better, okay?”

“Yah! Don’t cast me aside! I want a hug too!” Han shouted, throwing himself on the two of you.

After your talk, Minho sent you back upstairs to rest, not letting you do anything else.

“Until your feet heal, I don’t even want to see you try to do any work. The only thing you’re allowed to do is play with the cats.” He scolded you, emphasising once again how important it was for him that you got better. Han seemed to be on the same page as his boss, since he just stood there and nodded approvingly the whole time Minho scolded you for your carelessness when it came to yourself.

So, you went upstairs and let yourself fall on the bed, closing your eyes in the process. Until your back hit the hard mattress, you didn’t realise how tired you actually were.

“This is comfortable.” You whispered to yourself and petted your belly. “Do you also like being here, baby? It’s better than the other place, isn’t it? We can rest here for now. We are safe.” you smiled for a bit.

But how much longer would it be until Minho decided that he didn’t want to have you around anymore? That you were a burden to him?

With those dark thoughts in mind you couldn’t shake off, you drifted off to sleep.
