So It GoesKim Jooyeon, 5 years old
"Eomma, where are we going?"
"Somewhere better Jooyeon." Her mother smiles so widely, almost like she's too happy about it.
"But why are my oppa don't come with us?" Like she's been anticipating the question, the mother does not look sad or burdened by the mention of her brothers.
"They will be with your father. Mummy will only got time for you now." She caresses Jooyeon's forehead, calming her down whatsoever. "Don't worry, we'll visit your oppa once in a while, okay?"
