Minju's POV:

We arrived at our hotel room with all the take outs we had. Us six went to our shared room with Eomma and Appa, the rest of the kids are tired. No ones being too noisy right at this moment and since I was the eldest in the maknae line. Having been born earlier in the year. February five was my birthday, so I was really the eldest in the maknae line. So, I was in charge of the rest of the Maknae line. Like the previous days, we gathered silently in our room. The rest of the maknae line helped me in preparing all the take outs we had in hand. Nako and I were already eating our meal when Yujin made a move towards Wonyoung, causing Tomi-chan to speak up.

"Hey! Weren't you banned by Oton Chaen to make any moves on our maknae Wonyoung?" Tomi said to Yujin.

The two were about to kiss in their seats which made me a little disgusted of Yujin, she was the kid's pretend Appa and yet here she is making a move on my Wonyoungie. Gosh! This kid really is testing my patience.

"Yah, Wonyoungie, switch seats with Hitomi please." Tomi was the one who got up from her seat and got in between Wonyoungie and Yujin and sat herself in between the two.

"Eomma. I'm sorry." Wonyoung whispered to me.

"You don't need to be sorry, my Wonyoungie. Now, go on and finish your dinner, so you can rest." I replied to Wonyoung.

I took big bites of my meal, because I needed to assist Wonyoung in getting ready for bed. Every Korean Artist Groups have to take care of their younger members, because that's just the way it is, especially if we treat each other like we are families. Being her pretend Eomma back when we were training have made me the responsible one for Wonyoung. I don't mind her actually falling in love with Yujin, because the moment we spoke to each other that last time, it was pretty clear that I don't love her anymore, but of course, Wonyoung still looks at her as her pretend parent and the disturbing fact was Yujin doesn't even bother correcting the kid, she should have at least the decency to correct her on what she wants from Wonyoung, that's the only thing I see wrong about their relationship dynamics, other than that, I don't see any problems with Yujin. Yujin is a great and loving individual to everyone she's friends with, she goes out of her way for everyone, but she doesn't even correct someone even if she needed to correct that someone. After finishing my dinner, I quickly excused myself from everyone and went on to our make-shift closet to have Wonyoung's nighties ready. I was sorting through her baggage when Wonyoung sat herself beside me, no words were exchanged, she just watches me as I got her nighties out of her baggage. I looked up to her and offered a gentle smile towards her. Cause even if I wanted to be mad at her and Yujin, I just couldn't stay mad at her for allowing Yujin to be called her Appa, when we both know she was her lover.

"Eomma." Wonyoung called out to me.

"Hmmm?" I hummed back at her.

"Are you mad about Appa Yujin and I?" She asked me.

A sigh escaped my lips and I looked up to Wonyoung again. Her cute features staring back at me.

"I'm not mad about your Appa Yujin, what I am mad about is you, still referring to her as your Appa, when we both know she isn't your Appa anymore, she's more than that, am I right?" I replied to Wonyoung.

"She is still my Appa, Eomma. I don't have any feelings for her, just that, my Appa. My pretend Appa." Wonyoung revealed to me.

"Wonyoungie, is that true?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm still young, Eomma. Have you forgotten? It's hard enough that we are promoting plus all the school works, ugh! I don't have time for myself anymore. I don't have friends to play with, no one but you guys. I am grateful for everyone taking care of me, but I know where I stand with Appa Yujin, she's that, my pretend Appa and you are my pretend Eomma. It doesn't change any of my feelings for you both, you are both like my parents, I trust and love the both of you, though you are now with Kwangbae Oppa and Kwangbae Oppa is like my eldest brother or in this case like my pretend Appa too." Wonyoung replied to me.

"Have you told Yujin about how you feel? Cause I'm worried about you baby, you should've talked to her to clarify your stance about her." I replied to her.

"I did, Eomma. I don't understand either why she's being all kissy and touchy towards me." She replied to me.

Making me all the more angrier at Yujin for doing all these uncomfortable things to my Wonyoungie. Anger kicked into my system, making me shiver at the revelations. Gad damn it! Yujin was taking advantage of our pretend daughter! I hurriedly handed Wonyoung her nighties and pulled her into the bathroom.

"Go and take a bath now." I replied to Wonyoung.

"Okay, Eomma." She said softly.

The bathroom door closes softly and I turned around to the rest of the group and scanned everyone with my eyes and found Yujin done with her dinner. Once she stood up to discard her take outs, I took this chance to talk to her and pull her out of our room. I need to put a stop to all this, since I was in charge of Wonyoung. I pulled her out of our shared room, all the while trying to control myself from shouting at her. Once we were out of the door, I asked her immediately.

"What the hell are you doing with Wonyoung? Why are you so touchy and kissy towards her?" I asked her the question seriously.

"Nothing, I was used to her being close to me. Why? Are you saying I can't be her Appa anymore?" She challenged me.

"I'm not at all saying that, the kid is free to consider you still her Appa, but actually you taking advantage of the kid is what's making me angry, she told you right? That she doesn't have any feelings for you and yet here you are still trying to kiss her. Tell me honestly Yujin, have you lost your mind?" I replied to her challenge.

It took her half a minute to open but nothing came out.

"Huh! I knew it. I really knew it! You're making me jealous, that's it right? Tell you what, I'm not at all jealous, Yujin, I am only concerned about my child, Wonyoung. What you're doing isn't right at all. She's a young woman, Yujin, she's fourteen and feeling alone, the least you can do is to keep your hands to yourself as you should be doing all this time. Respect her feelings is what I am trying here, Yujin, consider that please." I replied to her and left the scene.

I was angry and anytime soon, could punch the girl in her face, had I not removed myself from her. These were my thoughts as I walked away from Yujin, dressed in my stage outfit of suit and tie, it was a good thing I had some money stashed in my suit pocket, cause there's no way I'd go back for my money as well as my padded jacket in our room and find Yujin still standing there in the hallway. I did what I can do for the mean time. I walked to the nearest convenience store and found myself perusing the aisles of the said convenience store. Looking for something to eat, I've been stressing so much about Yujin and Wonyoung that I barely savored my meals these days. So, I did what any sensible woman would do, I bought myself an instant ramen pack and some hot pot toppings of fishcakes and cheese balls and a bottle of Coca Cola. I put the hot pot toppings in a cup and left the cup and bottle of soft drinks along with my suit jacket on top of the table I'll be occupying.

I went and filled the instant ramen bowl with hot water from one of the water stations in the store. I waited until it was filled with enough water. I looked like a young worker after a long day of work. No one from the store seemed to mind me, no one was paying attention to me, unlike in Korea, where every move we make were mo
