Ep. 13: A Little Taste Of Home
(streets, Eunhyuk POV)
Jaeyeon and I walked the street of my hometown in London for a while. We watched a street performance invovling magic tricks. The magician says, "For my next trick, I will make this simple coffee table float in midair. But I need an assistant for this trick."
He looks around the audience and notices Jaeyeon, saying, "You miss. With the pretty black hair and eyes. Come up here." She looks at me while smiling, and I simply nodded to Jaeyeon, telling her to do it. Luckily she spoke and understood English fluently.
The magician has Jaeyeon stand next to him and asks, "May I ask you for your name Miss." "My name is Jaeyeon," she said. "Such a tidy name for a tidy lady indeed," he says, "You must be from South Korea to have such a unique name like." "I am," Jaeyeon says.
Putting a cloth on the table, he says, "I need you to grab both ends of the cloth on your side of the table Jaeyeon, and keep holding onto it until I say so." She nervously nods, grabbing the cloth with the magician.
The table magically starts moving up and down, and then starts flying in circles. I can tell she's suprised and excited at the same time about this trick. The audience cheers for her when they watch the whole act.
[Jaeyeon: People in England have been so nice to me and Eunhyuk. And this magician, he definitely surprised me when the table started moving on its own. So many great things are happening on this trip. I love it. I don't know what it is about them, but things like this always bring a smile to my face.]
[Eunhyuk: Jaeyeon loves spectacular things like magic tricks and circus performances. When we were eight, we went on a field trip to a circus for our acrobatic dance lessons for our dance classes. They even let us do some of the tricks they do. What they really loved seeing was Jaeyeon's aerial dancing she did during her solo performance.]
{SeChan: She should join a circus one of these days. *chuckles*}
{MiSun: Is it me, or does anyone else want to see Jaeyeon's aerial dancing skills?}
{JaeSung: Who wouldn't want to?}
The show finishes, and Jaeyeon and I left to go to our rental house. "I'm so hungry," she says. I said, "So am I, but the producers said that we can't eat out for today until night time hits." "I wonder why they would say that," Jaeyeon whines, "Let's hurry home. Baegopayo!"
(rental house, Jaeyeon POV)
Upon arriving to our rental home, Eunhyuk takes the key out and unlocks the door. The smell of English and Korean food hit our nostrils the minute we came into the house. Eunhyuk looks at the the dining room table and exclaims in English, "What is this?!"
We saw some Korean food and English food on the table. There were chicken skewers, tteokbokki, grilled beef lettuce wraps, bean sprout soup, cheese fondue, chicken tikka masala, Yorkshire pudding, Cumberland sausage, pork pie, trifle, and banoffee pie.
Whoever made this must've known Eunhyuk's favorite foods. "How do they know that I love I banoffee pie?!" Eunhyuk asks, "Bananas are my favorite fruit." I smiled at him, happy to see him this happy about seeing a home cooked meal on the table.
[Eunhyuk: Because my family wanted to respect our Korean values when we moved to England, we often had a mix of English and Korean cuisines on the table. The first time I came here, Eomma, Noona, and I went to a cafe, and I wanted something with bananas in it for dessert. So she ordered a banoffee pie for me. I liked it so much that she found the recipe for it and made it a lot at home. This is touching.]
[Jaeyeon: In our whole lives, I've seen Eunhyuk when he's happy. But to see him this happy brings tears to my eyes. He told me that when we arrive to England, he wanted to taste the food his mom and dad prepared for him and his siblings growing up. His brother also owns a Korean restaurant in London, and we just so happen to have seen some of the menu items on the table. This is the perfect homecoming dinner for Eunhyuk.]
{NaRae: I can't wait to see who prepared all of this.}
{JaeSung: Me too. Maybe they asked his family about Eunhyuk's favorite foods.}
We heard footsteps coming down the stairs and saw Eunhyuk's parents, Park Yongsun and Min Hyeseo, along with Myung-hyuk and Hyera enter the dining room. "Eomma, Appa!" Eunhyuk said, hugging his parents. I ended up hugging his older siblings. "It's nice to see you guys again," I said to his family.
"We're happy to see you too, Jaeyeon," Hyera says. Myung-hyuk explains to me, "When we heard that you and Eunhyuk were in town, we wanted to do something special to properly welcome you to London." "So we prepared a special lunch for you lovebirds," Hyeseo says.
Eunhyuk asks, "How did you guys get in here anyways?" "A cameraman gave us a spare key," Yongsun says, "and we took the liberty of hiding upstairs when you both arrived to surprise you." "This sure is a surprise for the both of us," I said.
Looking at Eunhyuk, I can tell he's starting to cry tears of joy, saying, "Thank you Eomma, Appa, Hyung, and Noona." "Aigo, my baby," Hyeseo says, hugging her son. He lays his head down on his mother's shoulder while hugging her.
Eunhyuk may be a big, strong, protective, touch guy on the outside, but on the inside, he's different. He's the soft, kind, caring, gentle baby I know and love. It's amazing to know they prepared this just for us. They really love us.
(Eunhyuk POV)
My family, Jaeyeon, and I, we started eating the food prepared while Jaeyeon and I were in town. I couldn't help but burst into tears when I found out they did this for us. Hyung even made my favorite menu items from his restaurant. Eomma and Appa made my favorite English foods. And Noona helped prepared the desserts I love with Eomma.
"I don't know how I can thank you for doing this for us," I said to my family. Yongsun says, "Coming home to visit us is enough repayment son." "We missed you a lot little bro," Hyung tells me. I told my older brother, "Jaeyeon and I missed you a lot too."
"Lots of people at the hospital often ask me about you," Eomma says, "They even tell me they support you and Jaeyeon a lot." "Never thought our youngest child would be so famous," Appa says. I told him, "It's been really fun working for JYP, Appa. I won Show Me The Money as a rookie, and I even help produce some of the music for Street Boyz and L.O.V.E. 9."
"Our groups gained a lot of popularity since debut," Jaeyeon explains. Noona says, "Of course they would, especially with you and Minjae as the leaders. Everyone's been quite fond of the famous Im Twins since you were younger." "Thanks to them, we've been pulling through with our careers," I explained.
"Thanks again for preparing this," Jaeyeon says. Eomma tells us, "It's no big deal. As long as my son and future daughter-in-law are taken care of." We smiled at her.
{SeChan: His parents and siblings are caring.}
{JaeSung: They must've used their blood, sweat, and tears to prepare such a nice meal for them.}
{NaRae: With Eunhyuk being the youngest child in his family, it's understandable.}
[Eunhyuk: My parents and older siblings really are amazing. I couldn't help but cry when I saw them and tasted their food. I've missed them, and I've missed the home cooked meals they would prepare as I grew up. They supported me when I found out I passed my audition for JYP and had to move back to Korea to start high school and begin training. When I told them Jaeyeon and I confessed our feelings to each other, they were happy.]
[Jaeyeon: Eunhyuk's family are like my second family. His parents are friends with mine, and my siblings and I are friends with his siblings. Hyera would often tell me some of the things Eunhyuk likes so I can can impress him. When Eunhyuk and I began dating, she told me that she knew he liked me too. Myung-hyuk, Hyera, Hyeseo, and Yongsun have been very supportive for me and Eunhyuk. And for them to prepare the surprise for him was amazing.]
"I also made you two something," Eomma says, pulling out a wrapped box. I grab it and open it. It was a scrapbook she put together of me and Jaeyeon. She even got clips from our segments on We Got Married, and some pictures from our photoshoots. There were also some positive quotes next to some of the pictures, as well as messages from Eomma, Appa, Hyung, and Noona.
"You made this yourself?" Jaeyeon asked as we look through this. "Yes, I did," Eomma says, "Some patients I had at the hospital are fans of yours, and they would give me these pictures of you everytime they saw me. So I decided to make something for you two since you were visiting London."
(Jaeyeon POV)
Eunhyuk and I were looking at the scrapbook after it was given to us. Hyeseo must've worked hard on this for us. I can tell Eunhyuk loves it, and so do I. He looks up at his mother as his eyes start watering again, saying, "Thank you Eomma." "You're welcome, my baby," she says, hugging her son.
I gave one of the staff members my camera, and he takes pictures of us together. I showed them the pictures, and everyone was pleased with them. Hyera looks at me and says, "Jaeyeon, could you meet me at my house tomorrow morning to help me with something?" "Sure Hyera Unnie," I said to her, "I can help you out."
"Do you need me to take you to Noona's house Jagiya?" Eunhyuk asks. I said, "Ani, Oppa. I'll just get a ride in the van." "Okay," he says. We continue eating the food as Eunhyuk's family left the rental house. For the rest of the day, Eunhyuk and I went to a rooftop bar and ordered some drinks before going to bed. I needed to rest up so I could help Hyera Unnie in the morning.
