Sorry if there are grammar errors. I'm just too lazy right now to edit. :P

“Move in with me,” I said. Her head jolted up and she looked at me, raising her eyebrows.

“What?” she said softly but sternly.

“You heard me,” I said simply. I couldn’t leave her alone anymore. I’m not going to let this kind of situation happen again.

“No Junhyung. I won’t.”

“Do you want this kind of situation to happen again? I don’t mind if there is someone taking care of you. Jiyeon? Hyemi? Can they?” She remained silent.

“They can’t right? Live with me Hyuna. I’ll take care of you,” I said gently.

“B-but.. you’re working too right? What makes you any different than them?”

“I’m a freelance photographer Hyuna. I can re-schedule my appointments anytime. Hyemi lives in the corporate world now. She has a lot of meetings she couldn’t miss. Jiyeon has a fiancé and also working under a boss. Now can you see the difference?” I said one by one, trying so hard to convince her.

She didn’t say anything but I don’t take it as an approval. “If you don’t want to move in with me, assure me that you have someone taking care of you. I just need that.”

“But I don’t..” she murmured but I could still hear her clearly.

I stood up and sat at the edge of her bed. I raised the center of my eyebrows slightly. “I want to take care of you. Let me,” I said softly, moving her fringe slightly.

“I have a child Junhyung,” she said. For me it seems quite random and I don’t get what she was trying to imply. Or maybe she’s just trying to think of an excuse.

“I know that Hyuna.”

She sighed and pursed her lips. “I’ll ask Jae Hee.” I smiled and nodded.

I unlocked my door and pushed it open letting them in. Jae Hee ran inside excitedly and Hyuna walked slowly, still feeling a little bit weak. I put Hyuna and Jae Hee’s bags in my bedroom which is going to be theirs now. My apartment is just a small one. The living room and kitchen is not separated by any walls and there are only two rooms: one bedroom and one guest room. There is one toilet in my bedroom and the other in the kitchen.

I walked into the living room, turning on the tv for them while Hyuna and Jae Hee sat on the sofa. “Uncle Junhyung! Your house is very nice!” Jae Hee said happily.

I just smiled. “Thank you Jae Hee! Do you want any drinks?”

Jae Hee nodded. “Do you have Milo Uncle Junhyung?”

“Jae Hee don’t trouble him. Its okay Junhyung. Just plain water will do..” Hyuna said.

“Its no trouble Hyuna. Yes Jae Hee I have! Do want something to eat? Gaja let’s see what I have in the kitchen,” I said, stretching out my hand to him. He jumped up from the sofa and ran to me, taking my hand.

I know Hyuna is trying to give Jae Hee a disapproving look but I just pulled Jae Hee towards the kitchen before she could say anything. I carried Jae Hee and put him on the counter. He just looked at me as I open the cabinets. I took out a packet of animal crackers and gave it to him.

“Thank you uncle!” he said cheerfully and started eating one by one. I smiled and ruffled his hair.

“Is it nice?” I asked. He nodded anxiously and put one in my mouth. I went back to making his Milo and poured Hyuna some ice water.

I returned to the living room carrying two glasses of water, making sure that Jae Hee’s is plastic. Jae Hee skipped beside me with his animal crackers. As I set the glasses down on the table, I heard my name.

“Junhyung!! Junhyung!! Yah open the door ppalli!!” Yoseob shouted from outside.

“Aishh.. can’t he knock?” I mumbled to myself and walked to the door.

I opened the door, revealing Yoseob carrying a few big plastic bags full with colourful plastic containers. He rushed inside and placed the bags on the dining table. He pants as he rested his arms on the table. I looked at the things he brought.

“Wow! Where did you get all this? Did you cook?” I said as I saw that the plastic containers were filled with home-cooked foods.

“Get? Yah Yong Junhyung. Didn’t my mum and your mum always take turns to cook for us every week? This week is my mum’s week, remember?” he said.

“Oh ya… But you usually bring one or two containers. What’s with more than five today? Are we having a feast or something?” I laughed. Hyuna was walking towards us as she left Jae Hee frozen infront of the tv watching Spongebob Squarepants.

“My mum said pregnant women should take a lot of healthy food to stay strong. And a four year old need all the nutrients they can get since they are growing so they have to eat a lot.” I just nodded.

“Your mum cooked all this because she knows about me and Jae Hee?” Hyuna asked, surprised.

Yoseob smiled. “Don’t worry Hyuna. She likes to cook. She was so thrilled when I told her you’re living with Junhyung. She always wanted to cook more for me and Junhyung but we don’t eat much.”

“Both our mothers are single mothers. Yoseob have a younger sister that’s living with his mum. He lives next door,” I said, explaining some things to her.

She nodded and smiled. I think she’s feeling quite relieved that she’s finally reassured that she wasn’t any trouble for Yoseob’s mum in cooking for her.

As we unpacked the foods, she spoke. “Why didn’t the both of you live together? Isn’t it easier?”

“All the two-room apartments are filled. I don’t mind sleeping with Junhyung but he said I kick around when I’m sleeping.” Yoseob stuck his tongue out. Hyuna chuckled.

“Who likes to be kicked? Right Hyuna?” I said and Hyuna just nodded.

We sat around at my dining table while eating the food Yoseob brought.

“So how is it going to be now Junhyung? Are you still working Hyuna?” Yoseob asked.

Hyuna was about to answer when I cut her. “Nope. She’ll rest at home.”

She turned to me with a shocking expression. “I’m not going to let you pay for the both of us alone Junhyung. I don’t want to be a freeloader.”

“Well.. then you can cook for me! I guess its time for me to stop eating instant ramen,” I said simply.

“Junhyung… Can you please not be so caring to me and Jae Hee…?” Hyuna whined.

“I told you I want to take care of you Hyuna. You agreed and this is what you get.”

Yoseob and Jae Hee just look at us as if watching a table tennis match. They are just waiting for our response for everything the other said.

“I only agreed to move in with you.”

“It comes in a package don’t you know? Whoever that lives in Yong Junhyung’s apartment is being taken care of him,” I said formally.

A smile crept out of Hyuna’s lips. “Does it comes with a contract too?”

“Oh yeah sure. But its optional coz it can only be sealed with a kiss.” I smirked.

“Very funny Junhyung..” Hyuna smiled and rolled her eyes. Yoseob chuckled.

“You guys are so weird. Jae Hee why not you just live with Uncle Yoseob?” he turned to Jae Hee.

Jae Hee pouted cutely and shook his head. “I don’t want to leave omma!” he said, clinging onto Hyuna’s arm. We just laughed.

“Arasso arasso..” Yoseob pretended to be offended.

Night time comes and I showed Hyuna to their room. There is a queen-sized bed so Hyuna and Jae Hee could sleep together.

“Goodnight Uncle Junhyung!” Jae Hee said cheerfully. I replied and gave him a smile.

I walked into the guest room which is now my room. Of course I miss sleeping in my big bed but I’ll do anything for Hyuna. Even if I have to sleep in a single bed now. Well at least its not the sofa.

It was still an early night for me but Jae Hee had to sleep early as he has school the next morning and I told Hyuna to rest.

I walked around the room finding my camera. I sat by the window looked out into the busy streets. The lights along the road made a nice shot. I was just taking shots of random things when I heard a knock at my door. I turned towards it and I saw Hyuna peeking her head in.

“Can I come in?” she asked. I smiled and nodded.

She sat on my bed and looked around my room. My room was already filled with photos being hanged around although I just moved into the room.

“Why aren’t you sleeping?” I asked her.

“It’s just 11 Junhyung. I’m not sleepy yet. I’ve slept a lot in the hospital.” She smiled, reassuring me that she was fine. I nodded.

She titled her head when something on my desk caught her attention. She stood up and started walking to it. I began to panic. . Did I leave out something that she shouldn’t see? Is it ? No I don’t watch that. Is it her picture? Coz I secretly kept one from her photoshoot. , it is isn’t it? Damn Junhyung. Damn damn.

She bent down slightly to see a picture that was taped onto my wall at the corner of my table. I walked to her, trying to calm myself when I see her smile. It was an old photo. A photo of the 6 of us together at The Waterfront. I managed to keep that picture after all these years. I didn’t frame it as it was quite pointless for me. The six of us broke apart just like that. It isn’t a memory I would like to remember. But I couldn’t find the courage to throw it either.

“That’s us isn’t it?” she asked happily, turning to me. I smiled. She turned back to the photo and stared at it for a long time. I peeled the photo from the wall and gave it to her. “You’re going to get a back ache if you stay in that position,” I said.

She smiled and took it from me. She sat down on my bed once again and continue looking at the picture. She was really in awe seeing that memory. She seemed happy looking at it. Her smile didn’t even fade away.

I sat beside her and look at the picture. I guess we both have the same questions running through our minds. What really happened? Where did those times go? It’s just left with the four of us now. And we thought we could grow old together, seeing each other’s family. But I guess not.
