애린 Ae Rin

“Onni, Henry will be here tomorrow, you should bring Eun Ji!” it was Hyun Ae on the other line. Apparently, they had a little brainstorming and they suggested that I transfer to an apartment in Seoul so I wouldn’t have problems going to Ansan. Hyun Ae previously offered for me to stay at their place but I quickly declined because of my mom and Eun Ji, and we couldn’t just crash in there, right? It’d be too much of a hassle for Hyun Ae.

“I’m not sure…” I hesitated. “Aren’t we going to be busy by then?”

“We don’t have a schedule right? The guys just wanted to have some drinks and pig out… or something.” Hyun Ae laughed. “They really wanted to make the most out of their vacation…”

“Well, they don’t get a lot—maybe that’s why they’re like that. Anyway, I’ll check if I can go tomorrow…”

“We’ll pick you up… don’t worry about it.”

Before I could even protest, she already hung up. Ugh, too late, I guess I really didn’t have a choice on the matter… so I have to go there. But what about Choi Siwon….

What about him?!

Darn it, I still couldn’t get over the fact that he acted like he didn’t know me when he learned about me being a single parent. I was really starting to like him, but then he’s narrow minded, and I can’t be with a guy who’s like that.

“Ae Rin, I’m going somewhere tomorrow. Shall I leave Eun Ji with you or I’ll bring her?” Umma interrupted my thoughts. She was standing on the doorway while sipping her cup of coffee. Good thing that she allowed me to mope around the house yesterday and today. I even asked Teukie oppa for me to take a today.

“It’s fine Umma, I can bring her. We’re staying over at Hyun Ae’s in the afternoon, they’re holding a small get together.”

“Oh dear, are you sure it’s fine?”

“Yeah, don’t worry about it. Besides, they all want to meet our cute little angel.” I assured her while giving her a smile.

“I’m sure they would love her.”

“Of course they would.”

“You don’t look too happy about it dear, still thinking about Siwon?” she finally asked.

“I don’t know umma… Don’t worry about it though, I don’t think it’s really a big deal…” I tried to explain but she wouldn’t budge.

“Umma! You have a call!” Eun Ji came running to us and handed me the other phone. “Who’s this?” I asked her while covering the mouthpiece.

She shrugged then ran back to her play room, mom came running after her and
