Abandoned (Jay Park Oneshot)
I never imagined that I would leave him. But I did. I had too… There was no other way.
My heart hurt just looking at him with other girls, singing with other girls, dancing with other girls. I’m not the jealous type, but I felt jealous when he brought that Kim Hyuna to our apartment.
I was at my internship during the whole time she was there. I called him up and said I would be home late, when I heard feminine laughter in the background. And when I asked him why there was a girl there, he said they were working on a collab for his new song. What I didn’t know was that he was cheating on me with some idol that was way more talented than me.
When I came back home, I opened the front door to find him kissing her. Choking back a sob, I ran into the room I shared with him and locked the door. I sank into the bed as I heard him pounding on the door, begging me to let him in. “Go away!”
“I won’t! Linda, babe, open the damn door!” He yelled as he pounded the door.
“Why?! You have a new girl out there!” I was pissed. I was so naïve. I was so stupid to believe he would stay with a ordinary girl like me. “Go back into her arms! She’s your new girlfriend ain’t she?! She’s way prettier than I am! And she’s more talented than I am!”
“You’re my girlfriend, Linda!!” He pounded the door harder and then it was faint. I heard one last thump, knowing that it was his head that slumped against the door. “All I want is you! She’s not important to me. Babe, you know I love you!”
I opened the door slightly for him, enough for him to see me but not wide enough for him to get through. “Don’t lie to me. I love you, you know that. I haven’t been with you for the past four years to see our relationship thrown away so you can cheat on me with a female idol.”
“Babe…” He reached for my hands and grasped them. But I snatched them away from him.
“Promise me.” I say as a single tear fell from my cheeks. I never cry, but this moment was different. “Don’t lie to me no more. I don’t want to see you flirting with other girls. I’m your girlfriend! I know you way better than all those other girls will ever know!”
Seeing my wet cheeks, he softly wiped them. “Mianhae. I promise. I won’t cheat on you again.”
But that promise was broken when we came back from our year and nine month break from Washington to South Korea.
I was so blind and naïve…
I, Linda Hwang, was your typical college student. I was studying Business back at WSU (Washington State University) when I met him. I was eating my lunch with my friends and we were talking about the usual campus life, when here comes a guy strolling up to us and hitting on my friend.
Oh, he was a handsome one. He caught my interest with his bad boy, hip hop style. He didn’t wear overly baggy jeans or anything ridiculous I kept seeing other boys our age wear. He dressed in the style, but with his lean frame, he went for those normal type jeans. Nothing too baggy, nothing to skinny. His black hair was cropped on the side, a type of Mohawk sprouting on top of his head. He wore a white beater with a leather jacket thrown over it. He had on dark sunglasses that I couldn’t see his eyes.
Of course I knew he was Asian. What Asian ethnicity? I didn’t know. Those damn sunglasses covered his eyes that I couldn’t tell. Like every other Asian guy, he like hitting on the skinny white girls, no offense to my white friends at all. It just struck me odd that out of my group of friends, he would hit on Little Miss Perfect, Brittany Pierson.
“Linda. Linda!” My black friend, Kimbrella Dotson, shook me. I was watching the guy stroll away, Brittany on his arm. I looked at Kimbrella as she shook me again. “What is up with you girl? I never seen you so distracted.”
“She’s got her eye on a certain guy that just left~” My Latin friend, Claudia Adame trilled out. She was a bit annoying when she was singing but I still love her. “Too bad Brittany disappeared with him though.”
“Who was he?” I asked at last, watching his fleeting back.
“We totally forgot you transferred her from Colorado State.” Tu Chung, a fellow Asian (she was Vietnamese) said.
“That was Jay Park.” Kimbrella said back to me. “He is so fine~”
I ignored the others as they continued to talk about him. Jay Park, huh? So he was Korean too?
A little over two months passed when Brittany had broke up with Jay.
When they were dating, I had gotten to know Jay a bit. He went by name of Park Jaebom to some, but mostly everyone just called him Jay. It was that much easier. Jay was musically talented. And I meant really talented. He could sing, rap, dance, and would occasionally act with the Thespians.
And I was falling for him. So you could say I was happy when he and Brittany broke up. And in that two months after their breakup, Jay and I became the best of friends.
I laughed at his silly title and thought it was kinda cute. But deep down inside, I didn’t want to be his bestie. I wanted to be his girl.
But it was no surprise when Jay told me one day that he was looking for a new girlfriend. I knew I had no chance. But he surprised me.
“Linda~” Jay rang out as we sat under a tree, my accounting book in front of me.
“Hmm?” I looked at him, to see that he was an inch close to my face. I leaned back, distancing myself from him. “What is it?”
“I need a girlfriend.” He raised an eyebrow.
I secretly wished it was me but I knew I had no chance. Besides, I wore glasses, my hair was cut really short, and I looked like a child and not the 20 year woman I was. But what Jay said next surprised me.
“I want you to be my girlfriend.” Jay said as he smiled at me.
“What?! I heard wrong! Tell me I heard wrong Jay. I did not hear you say that you wanted me to be your girlfriend. You’re playing a stupid trick on me!” I say as pouted at him.
Jay leaned in and kissed me on my lips. And that was the start of our relationship.
Jay and I moved to S. Korea when he was scouted into JYP and joined the group 2PM. We lived separately, me in an apartment and Jay with the boys of 2PM. The first time I met them, I fumbled with my Korean until one of the members spoke to me in perfect English. Just because I was Korean didn’t mean I was fluent in the language. I was hopeless.
All was going well. Until that stupid accident that made us go back to Washington. What it was, I never asked. That was his problem and JYP’s, not mine. We returned to Washington and Jay kept in contact with his fans by posting videos of himself on Youtube. He was still passionate about music, his b-boy crew, AoM always making me clap in awe.
Yes, my boyfriend was a busy guy. But he always had time for his girlfriend at night. We mostly cuddled together in bed, until one night, I was ready to finally lose my virginity to him.
“Are you sure?” Jay looked down at me.
“Yes.” I say with a small smile. “We’ve been together for three years Jay. And we’ve never done it yet.”
He broke out into a grin. “I was waiting for you to be ready. Are you sure?”
I giggled at him. He was such a dork! Well, a cute one, haha. I kissed his chin. “I’m very sure. Me and you tonight.”
In the three years that I’ve been with Jay, I swore I haven’t changed. But Jay says otherwise as I started wearing contacts, my hair was terribly long, and I gained a couple of inches. What surprised me was the sudden growth of my breasts. I swore I was flat chested when I met Jay, but then suddenly my cup sizes went from 32A to a 38C. And Jay reveled in that.
This namja of mine was an absolute perv! But if it was with me, I didn’t mind. I told myself that I would spend my whole life with him. That’s how much I love Jay Park.
He kissed me ever so sweetly, his lips on mine. Our lips met, briefly then fully as Jay cupped the back of my head and brought me even closer, his lips moving over mines. At first, I was in shock, never imagining that this moment would come so soon. But I pulled that away from her mind and concentrated on the man in front of me. Kissing me.
I trailed my hands to his shoulders as I clutched on to him for dear life. The feel of Jay’s silky lips on mines made me lose all my senses as I struggled to breath. I returned his kisses, my lips moving over his, nipping at his bottom lip, running my tongue along the inside of his lip. With a growl, he pushed me back on the bed, coming on top of me, cushioning my head with his hand as he continued to devour my lips.
Jay slipped his tongue in between my lips, meeting the barrier of my teeth before moving away from me briefly. He pulled back just slightly, his lips just a mere inch away. “Open up for me, babe.”
His voice vibrated through my entire body. He sounded so sexy, his voice husky and low. When I opened her mouth to say something, he delved back in, his tongue coming to contact with my own. He battled with my tongue, captured it with his own lips and suckled. The bold action sent white hot sparks riveting throughout my whole entire body. I clung at his shoulder, raking my nails into the fabric of his shirt before pulling away, my breath heavy.
What happened next, you can guess…
I left him. I left Jay Park.
I came home one day from work and saw him with that Jessica Jung from SNSD. They were in a uncompromising act, right in front of my eyes. They looked too into the moment that I walked into the bedroom I shared with Jay, grabbed my suitcases and began to pack up my stuff.
How can I be so stupid?! Thinking that he was going to be faithful to me. Four years, we’ve been together and he suddenly goes off and does this again? Well I’m done. I’m tired of playing this game with him. And so I left. Without a word of goodbye to him.
I got myself a one-roomed apartment and stayed there. I know, I could’ve gone back to Washington, but my work here needed me. So I stayed. But I was not going anywhere where I saw Jay Park.
I was sitting on the couch with my cousin from 2PM, Chansung, one day. We were busy watching the MusicBank performances.
“Yah, Chansung? You guys are not performing?” I asked.
He shook his head. “We had our goodbye stage awhile ago.”
I nodded my head in understanding. Focusing my attention on the TV, I suddenly see a figure that I really did not hope to see. Jay Park.
He looked really handsome. But the song he sang, I couldn’t help but think that it was directed at me:
I couldn’t believe you left me
The world came crumbling down
Colder than ice, you turned your back towards me
You turned your back, turned your back Girl
It doesn’t make sense how can you leave me
I thought that it would last forever
What kind of love is this
But I can’t let go of you
I put everything on the line to date you
Without going anywhere I just looked at you
But you left me, my heart is hurting
I follow you like a dog Oh
Originally I looked down on women
Liked hanging out every night, liked drinking
But I changed I want only you
Why aren’t you here by my side, I can’t forget you
You’re a bad woman, where are you going after leaving me
I’m dying alone, why don’t you care
You’re a really bad woman
You’re a bad woman, where are you going after leaving me
I’m dying alone, why don’t you care
You’re a really bad woman
I’m the big fool here, I was abandoned
Because you played with a person
Your selfish actions ruined it
Our love, your heart that has already left
Baby why was I so blind to see
I found Jay sitting on my couch when I came back home from shopping for food. He looked up at me and his eyes widened when he saw that I’ve gain a little weight. He got up and took one of the grocery bags from my arms and carried them to the kitchen.
“You look like you’re doing fine, Linda.” He said.
I shot him a glare. “What do you want Jay? Why are you here?”
Jay looks at me. “I came to visit you. So where’s your man?”
Right in front of me… “I don’t have a man.”
“But you’re pregnant, unless…” He trailed off, his eyes widening. He came close to me and grasped my shoulders. “The baby’s mine?”
I looked away, not meeting his gaze. “What do you think, idiot!?”
“Linda…” Jay whispers. I looked at him, tears streaming down my face. “Baby, I miss you. I still have feelings for you. Come back please.”
“Why? So you can cheat on me again?” I glared at him, the tears starting to fall. “I trusted you Jay! But that trust disappeared when I saw you kissing Jessica!”
Jay wipes my tears from my cheeks. “Linda.”
I drew away from him. “Don’t you dare touch me, Jay Park.”
“Linda, I still love you.” Jay said as his hands slung to his sides. “I keep thinking about you every damn day!”
“And I still love you too, Jay!” I yelled at him. “But I don’t want to spend my life with a guy who cheats on his girlfriend while she’s having his baby! I don’t want to be in a relationship like that!”
“Jay, if you really love me then prove it.” I said. “Otherwise, I don’t ever want to see you or talk to you again.”
An interview with Jay recently came on the TV. As much as I told him that I didn’t want to him, I still loved him. And after watching the interview, my cheeks were wet with tears as I noticed that he loved me very much.
Reporter: So Jaebom-ssi, do you have a girlfriend?
Jay: Yes. But she’s mad at me.
Reporter: Why? Can you tell us?
Jay: Nah, I can’t. What happened is between us, so I can’t tell you why. But she’s mad at me. She won’t even speak to me or even see me.
Reporter: You love her that much? What makes her so different from other girls?
Jay: Yes, I love her so much. What makes her different is that she’s going to be the mother of my child. And its not just for that reason alone.
Reporter: Would you like to tell her something if there’s a chance that she’s watching this interview?
Jay: Linda, honey. If you’re watching this I hope you know that I love you. I miss us being together. I miss your voice, I miss your beautiful face. I miss you. What happened to the young Washington girl I fell in love with? I know she’s gone and replaced with a mature woman who was always by my side. Who loved me for these four years, even though I did the most stupid stuff. I know I made you cry and I’m so sorry for that. Linda, I love you. And I want to spend my whole entire life with you. I want us to have a big family together, grow old together, and die together. That’s how much I love you.
Reporter: Is there anything else you would like to say?
Jay: I have a song I would like to sing for her.
But it always seemed that things were going well
Why are things getting so twisted up
I started picking on the trivial things
We started fighting more often
Without realizing, I pushed you away
Why do we leave with our happiness
I’ll fix it so come back Baby
How come every time I’m in front of you
I turn into a fool who falls in love
I don’t cry because I’m a man
But I still feel like dying
I usually don’t even hold on
Because you’re my everything
Baby just come back come back to me
Baby just come back come back to me
What can I say? I cried. And when I found Jay standing right in front of my door with flowers in his hands, I cried even more. I threw myself in his arms and buried my face in his throat, my tears soaking his skin.
“Don’t speak Jay…” I sobbed. I looked at him, my eyes watery and my cheeks wet. “I love you so much.”
Jay gave me a small smile. “Do you forgive me?”
“Yes, yes I do.” I hugged him.
Jay kisses me on the lips as I welcomed it. I missed him so much. “I love you, Linda Hwang Park, my future wife.”
“I love you too, Jay Park, my future husband.” I say as I looked at him. “I really do love you.”
