Chap. 13
Sweet Holiday
Yoo Jin POV
Yoomin sleeping beside me, I got up and went to the dresser. I slide the drawers open and took a
small box I kept hidden, well for yoomin’s sake. There I kept the bank book , minho oppa and eonnie,
made sure yoomin will be supported. It is in a Time Deposit until he reached 7, I scoff with the irony,
they left him in such a young age, they didn’t guess that can die sooner. I opened the bank book.
Sure it can support yoomin but, I don’t think this money can hold up until high school. I shook my
head. I’m looking for the future when I’m having trouble with the present. Then I saw their picture.
I smiled seeing how happy there where on those photos, especially minho oppa, his first born is a
boy. My sister, she looks so lovely here. “I miss you eonnie” tears fell from my eyes. “omma” I heard
yoomin mumbles. He talks when he sleeps, just like eonnie. I put back the things on the box and
closed the drawers, I walked back to the bed and lay down beside my yoomin. My nephew. My Son.
The next morning, it’s Sunday. Jonghun oppa went to gwangju to visit his aunt. He wants us to come
but I refuse. I better look for a part time job instead. I went on to the next door and knock. “ajumma,
I’m going to look for a job again, can you look after yoomin again?” I asked. “sure dear. But it’s a
Sunday, you should rest too.” She is really a nice lady, “I need to find a job soon, I have to give share
to the rent to.” I uttered. I told her everything, she knows about what had happen to me. “you are a
smart kid. You should apply for a better job than part times” she said taking yoomin from me. He is
still sleeping. “you know I can’t ajumma, I have to be there for yoomin too.” I explained. I don’t think
having a full time job is for my right now. Yoomin is just 4, he can’t be left alone always, having a
part time job gives me less time of work so I can take care of him too.
“I’ll be going now ajumma!” yoo jin said and bowed. Yoojin is walking out of the building now when,
“Jinah, Shim Yoo Jin!!” someone called her. “oh, Chaerin-ah” yoojin looked at her direction, “good
thing I’m just in time. Are you going somewhere else?” chaerin asked in between breathe. “I’m
actually going to the coffee shop across the building, I heard they are looking for a part timer. Just
what I need.” Yoojin happily replied. “ani, I’ve got a better one. You are just going to clean his
house, except the master’s bedroom, everyday. The salary is huge!” chaerin wide eyed told yoojin.
“really? Him? A guy?” yoojin asked. “deh, but you won’t be seeing him I guess, he seems to use the
office as a home rather than his house. Such a workaholic.” Chaerin uttered fixing her hair on the
reflection she’s seeing on the lift.
Yoojin POV
I think this one is good. no boss around and the time is mine. “okay, I accept.” I said. Chaerin hugged
me out of excitement. “asa! Thank you yoojin, I thought of you first when he asked me to find
someone. I just love yoomin so much I can’t just sit and watch his mom finds a job.” Chaerin said
holding both my hands. I smiled at her, she had been such a sweet friend ever since we move here.
Plus chaerin had a huge crush on jonghun oppa. I find it cute. If this had happen few years back I
swore I can’t be friends with her. I laughed inside. “so, uhm, I’ll tell him tomorrow about it, then I’ll
just tell you later where you should be working. Okay?” she continued. “you don’t need my resume or
something?” I asked. She shook her head. “nah, it’s good, I’ll just tell him you and I are super close.
I got you. Plus he didn’t ask for it” chaerin said. “oh, yoojin I’ve got to go, I have to meet with
friends, I’ll talk to you later okay?” she said and entered the lift. She waved after the lift door closes.
Minhyuk POV
I’m busy with my laundry when my phone buzz, lazily I check who sent a message. It’s my secretary.
From: Lee Chaerin-ssi
Message: Boss! My friend accepted to be your lady cleaner. When do you need her to report? Just tell
me everything you need to tell her and I’ll inform her. she’s smart and hard working. Or you want to
talk to her in person?
I hit reply,
To: Lee Chaerin-ssi
Message: No need for me to meet her. she just have to do things right here in my pad and we are
alright. Tomorrow I’ll give you the keys, just like I said, just clean the pad, except my room, do
groceries, and do the laundry. She’ll be working from 10 AM to 5PM. She can go home early if she
finished early of course. I think that’s it. I’ll be observing her job when I get home, remind her. She’ll
start the day after tomorrow. I trust you chaerin ssi, as you said she’s close to you.
I placed my phone on my pocket and continue pulling out the clean clothes from the drier. “hard to
live alone. Aish!”
Yoojin POV
“so you’ll start working tomorrow?” jonghun oppa asked me while we are eating dinner. Yoomin as
always sat on my lap while eating is so busy with his food. “neh! Chaerin eonnie helped me with this
one and its so easy.” I replied smiling. He nods. “how bout yoomin?” he looked at yoomin. Yoomin
looked at me and smiled, I can’t help but to chuckle seeing his messy face. “ajumma next door
promise to look after him, they adore him so much.” I snuggle yoomin he giggled. “omma! I’m eating”
he whined. “aigoo, arasso!” I replied. I notice jonghun oppa is looking at us. His stare is full of pity.
“I told you, you better let him know the truth.” Jonghun oppa and I are sitting on the dining table.
Yoomin is already asleep at the cough after watching his cartoons. “he will not understand oppa, give
me more time. I don’t want to give trauma to the kid.” I looked at the sleeping angel on the cough. “I
know, but, I have a life too, haven’t you suffered enough?” he asked. I shook my head with a genuine
smile while still staring at yoomin. “he is a gift. A memory left by eonnie and minho oppa. He is not a
burden.”
Yoojin woke up early to prepare for her new job. She texted the ajumma next door checking if they
are already awake. 8:30 on the dot, jonghun enters the kitchen already ready for work. “early?” he
asked. Yoojin nod. “I don’t want to be late. Besides I have to bathe yoomin first.” Yoojin replied
walking passed him. Jonghun started sipping his coffee and eating his toast. Yoojin went to her room
and saw yoomin already awake but still lying on the bed. “min-ah? You’re awake already? Why are
you staring at the ceiling?” she asked him. “omma, can we buy some glow in the dark stars and stick
it there?” he said still looking serious and pointing at the ceiling. Looking at him, yoojin only think of
someone. “he really acts like eonnie” she thought.
Minhyuk POV
I hit the off button of the alarm clock beside my table. My eyes wided when I saw the time. 9:15 AM.
“shoot! How did I over sleep?” I started pacing back in fort on my room getting ready for work, I
placed the files I finished last night. Right, I over work again. By the time I’m finished it’s already
9:30 AM, I cursed again, there’s no way I will get into the office by 10 AM sharp. I dialed chaerin’s
number, “yoboseyo boss?” “chaerin ssi, I’ll be late today, if someone call me there just take a
message okay? Are the trainees already there?” “neh, boss, they are here.” “okay, order me breakfast
too, I don’t have time to make one now okay? Bye” I hurriedly darted out of my pad. I stop by the
lift, I examine my shirt only to find that I buttoned it the wrong way, “aiish!” *ding* the lift made a
sound and open wide, I’m busy fixing my shirt when, “aw, mian!” a female voice echoed, “its okay “ I
replied in English, still busy with my dress shirt. I entered the lift and still busy, the lift closes just
before I could look at the female I bumped into.
