Dara

 

 

Did I heard him right? He wants Chaerin to spend the night with us??????? He’s kidding right?!!

 

 

 

 

“Uhm honey, you know that your Aunt Chae can’t spend the night with us, right?” I asked him while I pull him gently away from her

 

 

 

 

“I don’t think so Mommy, I think Aunt Chae will say yes in spending the night with us..” he answered, I look at Franchesca who shrugged her shoulders at me then to Chaerin who is smiling sweetly to me

 

 

 

 

“I don’t mind spending the NIGHT with you and the kids, Dara..” she said

 

 

 

 

Ooooohhhh!!! I always hate it when she smiles like that!... Well uhm though I find her cute doing it…. Ohhhh Dara don’t you dare let Chaerin wins!!

 

 

 

 

“Well uhm okay but like what Jeiven said, if you WINS..” I said to her, she wink at me and smiled again

 

 

 

 

“Don’t worry, I heard him loud and clear.. Now Jeiven come on..” she said and extend her arms towards my son

 

 

 

 

“Bye guys and sorry if you’ll lose this time..” Jeiven said to us, me and my daughter watch them leave and gave a high-five to each other

 

 

 

 

“Mommy, do you think they will win this time?” I heard my daughter asked me, I look at her and flash my sweetest smile

 

 

 

 

“No baby, not even in their dreams..” I answered, I look at Chaerin again who wave at me and wink

 

 

 

 

The nerve of this girl! But hey let her do what she wants but I’ll make sure you’re going down hard!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chaerin

 

 

I want to laugh! I needed to laugh! I know I annoyed Dara a while ago, I can see some smoke coming out of her nose but oh boy I think I pushed her hard this time

 

 

 

 

“Aunt Chae, are we going to win this? Me and Franchesca want to spend some time with you, badly..” Jeiven said to me

 

 

 

 

“Of course kiddo, I promise you that we will win some games and beat you Mommy Dara..” I said to him, he laugh and nodded his head

 

 

 

 

“But you know how competitive our mom is..” Jeiven said to me

 

 

 

 

“Yes baby, I know your mom that well..” I answered

 

 

 

 

*****

I remembered way back in college when we had our championship games for Girls Basketball Finals, she’s our team captain at that time

 

 

 

 

“Okay girls, they are ahead of us with 3 points, I want you to concentrate and focus on our play..” she said to us

 

 

 

 

“But Dee, we only have 15 seconds to tie the score or win this game..” Bom-Unnie answered, we’re loosing hope actually but not her, I can see in her eyes how determined she is to win

 

 

 

 

“I don’t care about that time! Don’t look at it, 15 seconds is still too long and we will win this okay!” she answered, we all nodded and I look at her, I’m not that good playing basketball especially in the free throw area

 

 

 

 

“Okay here’s the play, Jasmine you inbound the ball and pass it to Ariel who will bring the ball all the way to the half court, if you get double-team pass it quickly to Bom-Unnie..” she said, we were listening but still we keep on staring at the clock

 

 

 

 

“Then what?” Bom-Unnie asked her

 

 

 

 

“Pass the ball to me, I’ll fake my shot and you my baby will position yourself on the 3-point area..” she explained

 

 

 

 

“You want me to take the 3-point shot?!!!” I asked her

 

 

 

 

“Yeah you heard me loud and clear, you have to make a clear shot that’s why we will take them off your back..”

 

 

 

 

“But baby, I don—“

 

 

 

“You will okay! Just take the shot whenever you want to! Don’t mind the clock.. Do you have anymore questions?!” we all shooked our heads

 

 

 

 

“Good! Now take your places!” I was nervous that time because if I can’t get a clear shot, we will lose this championship game

 

 

 

 

“Baby you don’t need to be nervous at all okay..” I nodded my head at her but then one of the player from the other team approached us

 

 

 

“I think you guys need some miracle at this moment. We’re 3-points away from you and there’s no way you can win this time..” she said while smiling at us like a fool

 

 

 

 

“Oh yeah, well we will see about that. You said miracle huh? Then you’ll see one..” she answered, I saw her grabbed my both hands and shoved it to the girls face

 

 

 

 

“You see these hands? It’s her miracles hands, you don’t know what these can do sweetheart, it’s not only good at bed but it’s good in a lot of things. So I think you’ll be the one needing some miracle now! Come on baby let’s not waste our time with her..”

 

 

 

 

Well that’s my Baby girl that time, you can’t mess with her especially if she’s determined to get or win something. I took the shot and it went in then a girl fouled me from behind, I thought we’re going to have another OT but we didn’t, thanks to our Team Captain Dara who believes in me that time

 

 

 

 

******

 

“Aunt Chae!! Aunt Chae!!” Jeiven said when he saw that Chaerin is pacing out again

 

 

 

 

“Huh? What?” she asked

 

 

 

 

“Looks like you travel into another time again Auntie, the game is about to start..” he said

 

 

 

 

“Oh! Kekekeke, sorry about that kiddo..” Chaerin said, Jeiven shook his head and proceed at the center

 

 

 

 

How are we going to win this if she’s always acting like that

 

 

 

 

“Okay guys and gals, we only have 1 game remaining with a corresponding two points and whoever win this will have these amazing prizes!” the emcee said, the kids were clapping their hands while their parents smiles at them

 

 

 

 

“Mom and Franchesca already has 1 point, we need to get this game to win..” Jeiven said to Chaerin

 

 

 

 

“Don’t worry kiddo, I got your back..” she answered

 

 

 

 

“Our next game will be, cracking the eggs..” the emcee announced then some girls gave two ice bags, small ones, each bags contains one egg

 

 

 

 

“You need to tie the rope around your waist and find a way to break the egg without using your hand our letting the plastic fall off..” the emcee explained

 

 

 

 

“How are we going to do that mommy?” Franchesca asked

 

 

 

 

“Uhm hmm just stand over there and let mommy do the work okay?” Dara answered, she look over to Jeiven and Chaerin who are talking at each other, she smiled and shook her head

 

 

 

 

“Do you think Chaerin can win this one?” Bom asked the four stooges who keeps on laughing on what they saw

 

 

 

 

“It’s been ten years since the last time you saw her and as years pass by, Chaerin changed a lot..” Youngbae said

 

 

 

 

“Yep! You’ll see how Chaerin improves in things like this..” Seunghyun added, Jiyong and Seungri look at each other and smiles

 

 

 

 

“Well ladies and gentlemen, sit back and relax because in about a moment we’re going to see a battle we haven’t seen in a decade..” Jiyong said

 

 

 

“Okay on your mark, get set…. GO!!” the emcee announce, other people who watch the games cheers on their bet, Dara on the other hand is analysing what she’ll do in order to break the egg

 

 

 

 

“Mom! Come on!! You’re just standing there!!” Franches said and cover her face with her hands

 

 

 

 

“Wait a minute baby! Mommy’s concentrating on this one!” Dara answered, she tries to sway her waist towards the front and back as the plastic with egg in it moves

 

 

 

 

“I got it baby! Come on, follow mom’s lead. You need to sway okay but not too much, we need to collide these two eggs in order for them to break!” Franchesca nodded her head and did what her mother is doing

 

 

 

 

 

Meawhile..

 

“Don’t you think this is a bit high Aunt Chae???” Jeiven asked when Chaerin finish tying the rope on his waist

 

 

 

 

“No kiddo, it’s where I like it to be..” she answered

 

 

 

 

“Now what?”

 

 

 

 

“I need you to stand there and don’t move any muscles..”

 

 

 

 

“What are you going to do Aunt Chae?”

 

 

 

 

“Well the emcee said that we don’t need to touch the eggs or let them fall on the ground, she didn’t said that I can’t bump into you so they will crack..”

 

 

 

 

“You’re going to—Are you sure about that?”

 

 

 

 

“Yeah I’m sure..” Chaerin tie her eggs on her waist but pull the egg up to her stomach

 

 

 

 

“Why can’t we do what Mom and Franchesca is doing?” Jeiven asked her, both of them look at the Mother and daughter team, they both keep on swaying their waist

 

 

 

 

“You see that their eggs keep on tangling onto each other and you see they are having a hard time removing it..”

 

 

 

 

“Mom!!” they heard Franchesca said

 

 

 

 

“I said wait a minute!! God! You’re making me lose my focus!” Dara said too, Jeiven and Chaerin laugh at them and look at each other

 

 

 

 

“Okay Aunt Chae, I trust you on this one but please there’s a lot of girls here, don’t ruin my image..” Jeiven said

 

 

 

 

“Your image? Sheez you’re just 7 years old and I’m your Aunt..”

 

 

 

 

“Can we just please do this sow we can finish as soon as possible..”

 

 

 

 

“Okay baby, you watch basketball right?”

 

 

 

 

“Yeah..”

 

 

 

 

“You saw what teammates did after they are making a shot and it went in? They bump into each other bodies..” Jeiven think for a moment and smiled

 

 

 

 

“We’re going to do that, change of plan okay..”

 

 

 

 

“Okay Aunt Chae..”

 

 

 

“Now move 3 steps back while I do the same..” Jeiven nodded and they both step back

 

 

 

 

 

Back to their table

 

 

 

 

“What are those two doing?” Bom asked them when they saw what Jeiven and Chaerin is doing

 

 

 

 

“Beats me but whatever is they are trying to do, I think they are going to win this one..” Seungri said as he look at Dara and Franchesca who’s having a hard time untangling their eggs

 

 

 

 

 

Back at the front

 

 

“I told you to move to the left the why you move to the right!” Dara asked Franchesca who keeps on wiggling so their eggs will untangle

 

 

 

 

“I moved to the left mom but you did the same!!” Franchesca answered, Dara stop and look at her

 

 

 

 

“I did?”

 

 

 

 

“Yes you did! Mommy this is my left and that is your right, see?”

 

 

 

 

“Oh my bad baby but hurry up..” Dara said, Franchesca is losing hope that they will win then she look at her brother and Aunt Chae, she saw that both of them run and collided with one another

 

 

 

 

“Mommy!!” Franchesca said

 

 

 

 

“Not now Chesca! Im busy!”

 

 

 

 

“But mommy!!”

 

 

 

 

“I said not now!” Dara is busy thinking how will she untangle their eggs when she hear the emcee speaks

 

 

 

 

“We have a winner!” she said, Dara stops and look at Franchesca who’s looking at her with both hands on her waist

 

 

 

 

“Someone won already?” she asked her who just nod her head

 

 

 

 

Oh please I hope it’s not them, I hope it's not them

 

 

 

“Congratulation to Jeiven and Chaerin..” she heard

 

 

 

 

Ooohhhhhh Mmmyyyyyyy bbbbaaaccckkkk!!!!!

 

 

 

 

Dara look at their friends and siblings who’s cheering them then she look at Chaerin and Jeiven looking at them

 

 

 

 

“Why you didn’t tell me that they won already?” Dara asked her daughter without looking at her

 

 

 

“I was trying to get your attention but you are busy thinking mom..”

 

 

 

 

“Oh don’t give me that tone young lady..” they both saw Jeiven and Chaerin walking towards them

 

 

 

 

“Well we lost so we have to accept the fact that Aunt Chae will spend the night with us..”

 

 

 

 

“Shut up Chesca..”

 

 

 

 

“Okay now about our deal..” Jeiven said to his sister

 

 

 

 

“Yeah, yeah you win so Aunt Chae will spend the night with us..” Franchesca answered

 

 

 

 

“You don’t want to?” Chaerin asked her, Franchesca smiled

 

 

 

 

“No Aunt Chae, I like you to spend the night with us. Let’s go back to the table, I’m starving..” she said, she pulled Jeiven’s hand and they walk together back to the table

 

 

 

 

“How did you do it?” Jeiven asked her

 

 

 

 

“Honestly, I don’t know how our rope got tangled with one another but whatever happened I’m still thankful..”

 

 

 

 

“Yeah but don’t worry I can give you 1000 won..” they both laugh and sit on their chairs while Dara and Chaerin follow them from behind

 

 

 

 

“Congratulations Jei!” Jiyong said and give a high-five to his nephew who smiled at him

 

 

 

 

“You did your best Chesca..” Bom said to Franchesca who sits on her lap

 

 

 

 

“Yes Aunt Bommie, I know Jei will lend me some of his toys right?” Franchesca answered

 

 

 

“Yes m little sister, Aunt Chae do you need to get some clothes at your house?” Jeiven asked her, all eyes are on Chaerin again, asking what’s going on

 

 

 

 

“Jei and I made a bet, if I win he and Aunt Chae will pay us 10,000 won each..” Franchesca said

 

 

 

 

“But if Jei wins?” Seungri asked

 

 

 

 

“Aunt Chae will spend the night with us..” Jeiven said, proud that he thought of that deal, Bom and the 4 guys look at each other and laugh

 

 

 

 

“What’s so funny?” Dara asked as she slumps her body on the chair

 

 

 

 

“Nothing, nothing..” Youngbae answered

 

 

 

 

Oh these two little devils, I wonder how they’d did it

 

 

 

 

“Jeiven, Franchesca let’s go get some food, Chaerin, come with us..” Seung-gi said, Chaerin nod and excuse herself from the table

 

 

 

 

“So, so, my dear little sister. Chaerin is going to spend the night with you guys..” Bom said to her

 

 

 

 

“So?” Dara answered, pretending she’s not nervous on the idea Chaerin will sleep in her house for a night

 

 

 

 

“Can you handle not being close to her or you’ll wake up that you’re sleeping beside her..” Seungri butted in

 

 

 

 

“Oh shut up!!!” Dara answered, the five of them laugh as Dara’s face turns red

 

 

 

 

I don’t think these two will let Chaerin sleep with me on my bed, yeah they won’t… Won’t they???????
