"Hari! Put the box down! How many times should I tell you to not do anything else except from arranging the books? Me and your Uncle Byungho can do the other works."

Hari smiles apologetically and put the box on the empty table since she can't really bent her body down because of her already huge pregnant belly. Hari has been working at a bookstore at the neighbourhood she's living because she needs money for Cookie's stuffs and also to pay the bills for her weekly pregnancy check up now that she's all alone, she needs to stand on her own two feet and do everything she can to fund for herself. It has been 4 months of her running away from everyone and she remembers calling her aunty who's living at a countryside in Busan, crying and asking for her help which the older woman gladly takes her to live with them despite the tight space in their house which ended up with Hari sleeping on the floor in a small room everyday because her aunty is only a farmer and her husband died almost years ago, leaving her alone taking care of her mother in law and her two kids. Hari knows best that her aunty have it hard and limited financially so she pays her every month to lessen the burden of her living with them even though her aunty refuses to take her money all the time. She didn't tell anyone about her whereabouts because she needed time to sort out her feelings and learn to be independent except for Junmyeon who accidentally saw her when he needed to use the washroom in the bookstore and Hari made him promise to not speak to anyone about her and she's glad that Junmyeon keeps his promise. He has been keeping in touch with her most of the times after getting her new number and Hari couldn't thank him more for sometimes listening to her ranting about her leg cramps and her muscle stretch that makes her stay up until 3 to 4 in the morning because of the pain.

It was tough during the first 2 months because Hari didn't have enough money and she's not familiar with the neighbourhood but as time passes, she's coping well and Cookie is growing well inside her tummy too which she's now in her 36th week of pregnancy, a month away from her due date. It's a lie if she said she didn't miss Sehun despite everything he did to her because she still is in love with him and she still sometimes cries herself to sleep everytime she remembers him but she told herself to not dwell in the past and that she needs to be strong for Cookie who only has her. Caressing her huge tummy, Hari purses her lips as she watches Uncle Byungho counting the new books that came just now when she heard a familar voice talking in Busan's dialect behind her,

"Hari noona! Let's go home!"

A smile crept up on Hari's face as she turns around seeing her aunty's eldest son who's already 14 years old, coming to pick her up because that's what he does everyday. Her aunty has make it clear to her that she didn't want anything bad to happen to Hari and Cookie so she forcefully asked Hari to let Eunseop send her and pick her up from work since they need to walk quiet a distance from the bookstore she's working at to her aunty's house.

"Eunseop! Go home now, Hari. It's already pass your working hours."

Aunty Jangmi said with a huge smile on her face, coming closer towards Hari who's also smiling as she takes her slingbag and puts a white envelope in Hari's palm, making the girl to look at her with a weird look on her face,

"It's your pay for this month."

"But it's still early in the month."

"It's fine, Hari. Use it to buy your daughter's stuffs so I'm giving you tomorrow off. Go and get some toys for our dear Cookie."

Hari purses her lips, feeling a little bit guilty to be receiving her pay early in the month so she refuses by shaking her head, making the older woman clicks her tounge and shoves the envelope inside her sling bag,

"Take it, Hari or I'll fire you."

Hari's eyes widen hearing Jangmi's word as the two then burst out laughing,

"Use that money to get the foods you crave for too, Hari. I've never once see you eating anything else beside the one you packed in your lunchbox."

Hari smiles knowing that she didn't want to waste her money buying ridiculous foods for herself even though she did crave for some ice-cream, pizza and chicken wings ever since few months ago but every money she has in her hands is solely for Cookie so she wouldn't waste even a cent of them. Bowing and thanking Jangmi and Byungho, Hari walks out of the bookstore with her arm around Eunseop's shoulders, listening to Eunseop's cute dialect as he talks about his day at school and how his mom forgot to put in his sports attire which ended up with him playing football in his school uniform. Hari's laughters burst out through the calm road as they walk home with Hari sometimes stops walking in the middle of the road as she calms her breathing with Eunseop gently caressing her back. She's used to walking from her aunty's house to the bookstore and from the bookstore to the bus station everytime she has her pregnancy check ups but now that her belly has grown much bigger and her pregnancy is progressing, she has it hard to walk but being Hari, she wouldn't let this kind of thing to stop her. Releasing her breath, Hari smiles and looks down on Eunseop,

"Let's continue, I'm all good now."

Eunseop grins and nods, taking Hari's hand in his as they continue their walk home.

Sehun arrived in front of the place where his wife is said to be staying at around 10 in the night, he frowns as he went out of his car, staring at the tradtional house in front of him until a cute voice makes him turn around,

"Woah, what kind of car is this? Very cool. Oppa! Come here and see
