Back in Korea...
Jaejoong brought Injoong back with him to Korea, while Jaein stayed behind in Japan. Much to Jaejoong's delight, his parents were mesmerized by Injoong, who reminded them of Jaejoong when he was young. Moreover, Injoong was much more likeable and adorable than young Jaejoong, cos he was very friendly and warm. Plus he knew how to make his grandparents happy. Jaejoong thought his plan to marry Jaein would proceed as smoothly as planned.
Mrs Kim: Jaejoong-ah... You never told us much about Injoong's mum... You said she's busy working in Japan... But when is she coming over to meet us?
Jaejoong: Soon omma... Soon...
Jaejoong brought Jaein home again, but this time with Injoong. He hoped that his parents will agree to their marriage cos of Injoong, whom they loved so much...
But much to his disappointment, their reaction was the same muted one as 6 years ago. The evening ended with them getting Jaejoong to bring Injoong to bed. And once they left, his parents started reprimanding Jaein using really bad words. They claimed that she was a cunning, lowly slut and was so unscrupulous for using Injoong as a golden goose to get into their household. And that they will not allow it to happen. They only want Injoong, if a DNA test proves that he is indeed Jaejoong's son, but not Jaein. They will not accept her as their daughter-in-law.
Jaein was even more shattered than before. As this time they even wanted to take away Injoong, her last and one and only link with Jaejoong. Without him, she had nothing left to remember Jaejoong by. But there was nothing she could do. Injoong needed Jaejoong...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jaein left the house with a heavy heart. But this was the last and final time that her heart would hurt. Or could hurt rather. Cos she would become completely numb once this was through... She would be nothing but an empty shell...
Jaein wrote a letter to Jaejoong as she sped off in a taxi to the airport...
Jaejoong-ah,
Mianeyo...
Forgive me for leaving again...
But as you can see...
We will never work out...
So I beg you please to forget me and move on...
Don't upset your parents or yourself anymore...
For I know your parents will never accept me...
But I know they love Injoong a lot, so I'll leave him in your care...
Do change his name to something that your parents would prefer, lest his current name reminds them of me.
I hope you'll love him as much as now in future, even if you get married and give him a new Mummy, and siblings.
Mian hamnida...
Love,
Jaein

Back in Japan...
Jaein moved house to avoid Jaejoong. But she was aware that the most dangerous place is also the safest, so she stayed in the same block, but a few levels down. Cos she knew that he'll look everywhere but never think of coming back.
Jaejoong was so angry with his parents this time, he never contacted them again after Jaein left. He refused to take any of their calls. And he moved his work base to Japan and stayed in an apartment with Injoong. But he didn't change Injoong's name. He only changed his surname back to Kim, so that his name would be Kim Injoong. And he let Injoong study in the same kindergarten that Jaein taught at.
One day Jaejoong was late in picking Injoong up, as he was delayed due to a meeting, little Injoong decided to make his way to his old house to see if his missing Mummy was around by any sheer chance.
Jaein was walking home after work when Injoong saw her and ran towards her in hysteria.
Injoong (crying): MUMMY!!!! WHERE DID YOU GO???!!! I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME ANYMORE...
Jaein (hugging Injoong in her arms): Injoong.... Why are you here alone? Where's your Daddy? He left you here??!!!
Injoong: No... Daddy's late cos of work... So I came back here to see if you were still around...
Jaein's thoughts: Phew... I thought Jaejoong deserted Injoong in his anger...
Injoong: Mummy... why did you leave me with Daddy? Don't you want Injoong anymore?
Injoong stared into Jaein's eyes with his tears-filled marble-like eyes. Jaein felt a pang of pain in her heart, like someone stabbed her hard and deep. But she wasn't supposed to feel anymore.
Jaein (caressing Injoong's head lovingly as she spoke): I thought you missed your Daddy... So I left you with him... Why? You're not happy staying with him?
Injoong (shaking his head): No... I love Daddy... But I love Mummy too... Why can't we all stay together? Is it because of Grandpa and Grandma? If it's because of them... Then I don't want them anymore!!!
For an empty shell, she was supposed to be numb from all feelings. But her own son Injoong is cutting through her heart with his innocent words.
Jaein: No Injoong... I left cos I had to come back to work... But you cannot be rude to your grandparents... Without them, there won't be Daddy... and no Injoong... So... no matter what... you MUST respect them... wakarimasu ka?
Injoong nodded his head and went back to hugging Jaein. Jaein picked him up and carried him up to her apartment. Injoong got down when he reached the apartment and wandered around. It looked pretty much the same as their old apartment. Just that his things are now all gone.
Injoong: Mummy... where are all my toys...
Jaein (lying): Oh... I sent them to your Daddy's house already...
Injoong (tilting his head in curiosity): Really? How come I don't remember seeing them there...
Jaein: Injoong-ah... You should be heading back to wait for your Daddy... Don't make him worry...
Injoong (light bulb lighting in his head): Oh yeah... I forgot about Daddy... Better give him a call...
Injoong reached into his bag and pulled out a handphone. He dialled speed-dial 1, which was his Daddy's number. Jaein lunged forward to grab the phone and ended the call. Injoong looked at her in surprise.
Injoong: MUMMY!!! I'M TRYING TO CALL DADDY!!!
Jaein (nervously): I know.... Erm... Injoong... Can you not tell your Daddy that you saw me here?
Injoong (curiously): Why?
Jaein (lying): Cos... cos... I want to give him a surprise...
Injoong smiled cheekily.
Injoong: Surprise... good... I promise I won't tell Daddy then... But you must come back to us soon...
Jaein (forcefully): Yeah...
Injoong: Alright... I'll go back to the school now and wait for Daddy...
Jaein: I'll drop you somewhere nearby...
Jaein hid in a corner to spy on Injoong to make sure that he was safe. And when she saw Jaejoong come pick him up, her heart almost broke. No doubt, he still looked as good as before. But there were visible signs of exhaustion in his eyes. There were eye bags under his beautiful eyes and he seemed thinner than before. Work stress and taking care of Injoong was taking its toll on him.
Jaein's thoughts: Mianeyo...
She turned to walk back to her apartment. She prepared a simple meal for herself of cha soba and ate in front of the TV while crying her heart out.
