Chapter 16
The Best 9 Months Of My Life!"I can't do this anymore!!!" I complained shaking my shoulders to YoonHee as we walked out the parenting class.
"You think you're having a hard time? Look at me!" she snapped and crossed her arms. I apologized and hugged her.
"I don't know how you'll survive as a father. You couldn't even hold that plastic baby doll right and you would've drowned it when you gave it a bath," HyeMi said disgusted in me. "The only thing you were good at was having YoonHee-umma do all the work. Just watching her."
I stuck my tongue out at Hyemi and we cut through the park to go home.
"Oh, isn't that YooGeun sitting on the swing alone?" YoonHee said pointing him out. I looked and nodded as we walked up to him.
"You playing your violin again today?" I asked pointing to his case on the ground next to him. He smiled and nodded. "Aren't your parents worried about you? It's getting colder by the day." He just shrugged and stayed quiet. There was some weird tension in the atmosphere. Hyemi wasn't her usual self again and YooGeun looked a bit down, well more like frustrated.
"What's wrong with you today?" YoonHee asked him trying to bend down, but I refused to let her knowing the trouble she's having already.
"Umma and appa," he began to say before crying. "They weren't able to support me therefore they ran away and told me to wait for them until they come back, but I don't think they'll ever be back." YoonHee and I looked at each other not knowing what to do.
"Like I said, a hug wouldn't hurt," Hyemi said looking up at me. I sighed and bent down hugging him.
"Don't cry," was all I could say. "They'll come back for you, all you have to do is just believe it."
"What are you planning to do now that you're all alone?" YoonHee asked him as he settled down. YooGeun just shrugged, then an idea popped up into my mind.
"How about we keep him for now, until his parents come back?" I asked looking up to YoonHee. She smiled and looked at YooGeun. "What do you say?"
On our way home HyeMi kept staring at YooGeun. *Does she have a little crush on him?* I quietly laughed to myself.
HyeMi's POV~
~~FLASHBACK~~
Woohyun was hugging him as he 'cried.'
"What are you trying to do?" I asked him through our little mind telepathy.
"Nothing, I'm just having fun," he replied. "But not only that, I'm closer to her now."
"What do you mean?" I asked him. Behind that frown I saw a little grin.
"Just keep doing your job and I'll do mine," he said, then Woohyun picked him up and they left.
~~END OF FLASHBACK~~
"I liked you better when you watched from afar," I began to say to him in our minds. "But you being this close is probably for the best, Nam Da Reum."
**Hope the last part of this chapter gave you a little hint for the surprise at the end. And yes YooGeun and Da Reum are the same people.
