Loving Yourself

The Soul that Returns to Death

Tap tap tap.

Ngekk!

"Why did you just come?! I'm waiting for you from yesterday." said Sanji.

"I have business." said Ha Jae. "Jiji, sit down."

"Who is he?!" ask Sanji.

"He's Jimmy, artist of Goun Yong. He's mine" Ha Jae explained. "I'm going to pick up Aiko and Kyabusa. Take all Goun's for me,"

"Hi hi hi hi hi, you're this. Since when do you thirst for power, huh?" sahut Sanji's.

"I'll give it to Yokada. Instead, because he has allowed me to open a small business." explained Ha Jae. "Don't you also give Asian Groub to Yokada?!"

Sanji is busy with herself as if ignoring Ha Jae. Jimmy just kept silent, not understanding what they were talking about.

"In that case, why don't you do it yourself?! You showed me that you were able to give it away" Sanji said.

"If so, I can't pick up your children" Ha Jae said. "I have a lot of business and I don't have a lot of time,"

Sanji was silent. He glanced at Jimmy who was watching the two of them. Ha Jae took Sanji seriously. They stared at each other long enough.

"Mani, Mani, Mani. Alright. I'll do it for you" Sanji approached Ha Jae. She stroked the navi veil that Ha Jae was wearing. "Bring them back to me" whispered Sanji in front of Ha Jae's ears.

Ha Jae just smirked. He sees Jimmy who seems to ignore them.

"People of my dummy this one. I'm sure Goun will definitely go after him" Ha Jae said.

"Doll?!" sanji asked pointing at Jimmy.

"He's Artist. He's my precious asset" Ha jae explained.

Ha Jae walked over to Jimmy who was sitting in front of him. He brought his face closer to Jimmy's.

"Listen, his face should not be scratched in the slightest. There is a job waiting for him later," said Ha Jae.

Ha Jae grabs her bag and leaves Jimmy in the room with Sanji. Ha Jae should hurry up to finish his business.

......................

Whyhkkk!

"Where are you from?!" ask Yokada.

"Hemm, aren't you asleep?!" Ha Jae walked over to Yokada who was sitting on the sofa of his room. Without hesitation, Ha Jae hugs and kisses Yokada's cheek, "Muach. I have business going to Japan,"

"Signs?!" ask Yokada.

"Emmm. Not long after, I'm picking up my kids again." said Ha Jae.

Yokada just bothered not to make the slightest sound. Ha Jae moved from that place. He wanted to get out of Yokada's room. Just a few steps he took. Ha Jae was stunned when he saw a paper lying on the TV table.

"Shin?! What's that?!" inner Ha Jae.

Ha Jae also approached the invitation. He glanced at the still dumbstruck Yokada before opening the sheet.

"Invitation?!" inner Ha Jae.

Ha Jae nodded as he read the contents of the invitation. The invitation for the engagement of Shin Ji Joon and Julia that took place a few days ago. Ha Jae again closed the invitation, and looked towards Yokada. Yokada, who did not know what to say, turned his eyes away from Ha Jae.

Ha Jae put back the invitation and try to casually get out of Yokada's room.

"Hagh, uh,"

"Wedding?! So .. "inner Ha Jae.

"Hmmm,"

Ha Jae rushed to his room. He was so devastated. The chest of Choi Ha Jae.

"Mama," cried Haneul from the bar table.

Ha Jae ignored Haneul. He went straight into his room. The curious Haneul goes after Ha Jae.

"Mama," call Haneul.

Ha Jae sat down like he lost his mind at his desk. He doesn't know what to do. Her tears unconsciously flowed.

Ha Jae kept wiping his tears. But the tears just kept flowing on their own. Haneul who saw that was stunned in front of him.

"Mama, Mama why?! Mama's okay?!" haneul asked in panic.

Haneul approached Ha Jae. She tried to wipe away her mother's tears. But Ha Jae lost his mind. Vaporizing his emotions to Haneul.

"Mama, Mama's sick?!" panic Haneul.

"It's okay, go, go" said Ha Jae.

"Mama," Haneul wiped Ha Jae's tears.

"Go," Ha Jae continued to brush her off.

"Ma-," Haneul keeps trying to wipe Ha Jae's tears.

"GO!" sergeant Ha Jae.

With tetiba, Haneul's body crashed into it. Haneul fell to the floor. Haneul who saw Ha Jae so emotion immediately got up and went out of the room. Ha Jae who realized that Haneul was so scared also caught up with him out.

"Haneul! Haneuls. Sorry, sorry. Forgive Mama," Ha Jae pulled Haneul's body and hugged her tightly.

"No. I'm not alone. You're my son. I got you guys. Its alright. I'm it's okay. I have you," Inner Ha Jae.

Haneul looks confused by Ha Jae's attitude. He turned and greeted Ha Jae's embrace tightly.

"Mama,"

Ha Jae shed his tears in Haneul's arms. Nami and Yuri who saw that also looked confused by what happened.

"Why are you quiet?! Come here, hug Mama" said Ha Jae.

Yuri and Nami rushed over to Ha Jae and hugged him. Mareka hugged her tightly together. Ha Ja's face looks very peaceful in the arms of her three children.

Yokada, who was already standing on the stairs, could only be stunned by the sight. She did not expect, Ha Jae can act so calm. Yokada thought, Ha Jae will really fall apart with news from Shin Ji Joon.

"Mama. Mama why cry," asked Nami.

"So quiet, Mama is happy because there are you. Mama is moved to imagine being a grandmother soon" said Ha Jae.

"Grandmother?! Who will give birth?!" ask Yuri.

"Hi, you've been this big. Will I have a boyfriend soon and get married?" obviously Ha Jae.

"Ah, Mama. I don't want to. I want to go to college and be a judge. Hemm," said Yuri.

"I want to be a cop, too" Nami said.

Ha Jae glanced at Haneul who was silent beside Ha Jae.

"And you?!" ask Ha Jae.

Haneul is confused by the question that Ha Jae asked. He was still thinking about what he had just experienced.

"A-ku ..," Haneul bowed his head softly.

"So a great doctor. Remember those ideals," said Ha Jae. "You have to try to achieve it. Understood,"

Haneul straightened his gaze and smiled broadly towards Ha Jae. It was as if she was very agreeable and excited about what Ha Jae said.

"He really has changed. I'm sure he'll be able to do that. Hopefully, he can come back alive and live like everyone else." Yokada murmured inwardly

......................

Three days passed after that incident. Ha Jae has finished his business. He used his disillusionment and anger to complete his task.

...(comingsoon, read the "Urup" story to see this scene)...

"How! It was also my time to intervene" said Ha Jae.

"Mani, honey. You were great. That's really cool. Where did you learn it?! From that grievance?!" sanji asked closer towards Ha Jae.

"The cottage" said Ha Jae.

"Ahh, whatever the name. I can learn it too" asked Sanji.

"Turtle of these carcasses. I have other business" said Ha Jae.

"You dare to tell me?! Hi, I'm this ... " Sanji did not continue his words after seeing Ha Jae's eyes filled with anger. "Alright, okay. See you, dear Nami,"

Ha Jae left the place with his leisure. Blood that almost filled his body. Doesn't make Ha Jae scared or uncomfortable in the least. It was like it was his food every day.

"I died a second time. I have not yet felt how life really is. Is life like this?! Does it have to hurt like this?! Is it my destiny?!" ha Jae said in his heart.

Ha Jae stopped and looked at the dying Goun on his desk chair. There was clearly fear in Goun's eyes. Ha Jae gave a sharp look before he left the place.

......................

Bhuck!

Ha Jae put some files on Yokada's desk.

"That's for you" said Ha Jae.

"What's that?!" asked Yokada who was standing in front of the window.

Ha Jae approached Yokada and hugged him spoiled. "New Year's Gift. I hope you like it?!" ha Jae.

"I told you. Stop it all," Yokada said staring at Ha Jae sharply.

Ha Jae hugged Yokada even tighter. He just kept quiet as if he was thinking about something.

"I have given you life. So don't waste it." continued Yokada.

"Do I deserve it, sir?!" tanga Ha Jae's. "I ... "

"I know. I know everything" Yokada said, distancing Ha Jae's body. "Listen. You got us. Haneul, your friends, what about the two cats you just picked up?!"

Yokada grabbed Ha Jae's face that bowed choked up. "I gave birth to a Devil like Sanji. So don't let you be like him" Yokada added.

"Hemm," muttered Ha Jae.

Ha Jae turned his eyes away from Yokada. "I try, I keep trying. And will keep trying" said Ha Jae. "I deserve to live, sir. They're my life. Thisismylife. And I know what I have to do with my life. Because my life, also belongs to Mister,"

Yokada was stunned to see Ha Jae. As if he was thinking of something. "Sir, I am not your master. So follow my orders," said Yokada.

Yokada returned to his desk. Ha Jae is still standing in front of the window. Ha Jae was stunned looking out the window. He sees Kyun serving customers far away.

"I'll just follow my destiny, sir. And this is my destiny." said Ha Jae.

"Destiny?! What is your destiny?!" ask Yokada.

"Life." Ha Jae replied smilingly grinning towards Yokada.

Yokada was just silent, not thinking about what Ha Jae said. He was sure, he would not follow Yokada's words. Ha Jae will continue to drift in Yokada's life that not everyone knows the truth.
