Soojin was heading tiredly to her office, she had come out of yet another femur surgery that had taken hours, her whole body ached, Christmas decorations sparkled down the hallway, when she woke up in the morning she had wished that this would turn out to be one of the rare days when she'd get to go home early to her family but apparently people didn't know how to drive in the snow and now she would have to tell Shuhua that she wouldn't be able to spend Christmas Eve with them... Shuhua, she knew being a doctor it had been Soojin's dream since she was a little girl and she was an understanding wife but Soojin hated when the lights in her favorite girls' eyes faded when she tells them that she wouldn't come home that day, especially on dates like these. Soojin entered her office and headed to her desk, she sat down and picked up her phone to make a video call, by the time on her phone Shuhua should be starting to prepare Christmas dinner, Yuqi and Soyeon were going to have dinner with them, the cell phone called a few times and Shuhua appeared, her hair was messed up and hidden in a cook's hat

-Hey Shu, what are you doing?

-Jina and I are preparing the dishes for dinner

-EOMMA

Soojin smiled when she saw a little head trying to appear on the screen, Jina was jumping beside Shuhua trying to see her

-Hey princess what are you doing?

-Eomma, I'm helping mommy with dinner, it's so fun, are you coming home soon?

Soojin and Shuhua looked at each other and Shuhua sighed

-Jina, eomma really thought I'd be home in time for dinner but a big accident happened so eomma needs to do more surgeries

-But it's almost Christmas

Jina pouted and the fact that she wasn’t at home enough made Soojin more guilty

-I know princess, but I need to operate on these moms and dads so they can spend Christmas with their family, but I promise I'll be home tomorrow and we'll see all the presents that Santa Claus left for you alright?

-You promise?

-I promise Jina

-Jina, why don't you go look if Haku and Mata are behaving in the bedroom?

-Ok mommy, bye eomma

-Bye Jina, eomma loves you

The girl walked away and Soojin turned her attention to Shuhua

-Shu...

-Please don't make promises to Jina that you won't keep

-Shu, I'm sorry, I was really going home today but this accident happened and...

-I know, when I saw the news on TV I thought this would happen,I just wish you could be home more often

-I know baobei, I wish I could be home more too, I miss you two so much

-Me too Jin ah

Jina ran back to the kitchen and settled next to Shuhua to talk to Soojin

-Are the puppies okay?

Jina laughed

-They aren´t puppies anymore eomma

-Forme they will always be my babies, just like you

- So why don't you come home soon?
