Chapter 18
My Family with Suju~~{Kay's POV}~~
I laid in bed, my head pounding with a migraine. I heard my phone ringing again, but I didn't move.
I released the bills from my hand and let them fall on the floor.
" Zhou Mi!! " I called out to my husband, still not wanting to move.
A minute later, he showed up in our doorway.
" What is it? " he asked kindly, coming over to sit on the edge of the bed.
" Bills. Taxes. So much work, " I said with a groan, rolling over onto my stomach and squishing my face into my pillow.
" Take a nap, I'll take care of all that, " he grabbed my hand and kissed it softly. I heard him stand up, pick up the papers and head out.
I laid there in silence, almost immediately interupted by my phone going off for the third time. I sat there for a few rings before actually sitting up and grabbing my phone off of the night stand.
" Yeobeoseyo? " I answered in a slightly scratchy voice before clearing my voice and repeating myself.
" Hello, is this Kay? " the person on the other line asked, sounding proffessional.
" Yes, this is her. "
" Hello, I'm calling from the insurance building to say that your payment is late by one week and if you don't pay it within 30 days, your account will be disabled. "
" Oh. Okay, thank you for telling me. I'll be sure to bring in my payment as soon as possible. "
" Thank you. Have a nice day, " the lady hung up and I put my phone away.
I plopped back onto the bed with a loud groan.
Life is so hard. So much work to do. Bills to pay, taxes to figure out, and a stubborn kid to take care of. And on top of that, Onew fired me from my job, mostly because he thought I was too stressed out.
I heard a knock on the door, even though it was already open.
" Can I come in? " I heard Leeteuk's voice say. I to my side to face him and nodded.
Leeteuk stepped in and sat on the edge of the bed, just as Zhou Mi had.
" How's everything going? You aren't looking to good, " he stated, probably noticing the dark circles around my eyes earned from staying up late to try to keep track of out spending.
I sighed and closed my eyes, shaking my head.
" Do you need any help? I take care of 14 kids you know, " he said with a chuckle.
" Thanks, but it's all just bills and all that, " I said, trying to sit up, but feeling my head start hurting again.
" I can help you if you want, I'm pretty skilled with this stuff, " he patted my hand and smiled, showing off his dimples proudly.
" Are you sure? " I asked him, still unsure.
" Umma knows best! " he laughed and stood up.
" Well, Zhou Mi's trying to take care of the bills right now, so you can go help him if you want. Thanks, " I smiled brightly at him as he left the room.
I relaxed into the bed and closed my eyes, finally able to get some rest.
~~{Zhou Mi's POV}~~
I sat at the kitchen table with the bills. I looked at them for a long time, not sure what to do.
It seemed really confusing to me. These bills were a lot different than the ones I had to pay for my credit card after a shopping spree.
" Appa! " Jian shouted, jumping up into the seat beside me. " What are you doing? "
" Bills, lots of bills, " I said blandly.
" Yikes! That looks like a lot of work! " he said, grabbing one of envelopes and examining it.
" It is, and that's why I'm doing it, " I stated, taking the envelope out of his hand.
" That doesn't make sense! Why would you want to do something that's a lot of work? "
" I'm doing it for your mother. She was doing the bills, and she needs a rest, " I said as Leeteuk walked in.
" Can I help you appa? " Jian asked, leaning over to look at the other bills.
" And me too? " Leeteuk chimed in, pulling out a chair to sit down.
" Thanks, I can use all the help I can get, " I said, mostly to Leeteuk. He grabbed one of the bills and looked over it.
" Oh, this will be easy, do you have your check book? " said with a chuckle before looking at me with a serious look.
" Kay has it, " I said.
" I'll get it! " Jian cheered, jumping out of his seat. For a 10 year old, he still had a lot of hyper-active energy.
He ran up the stairs and soon returned with Kay's striped check book.
" Tada! " he said cheerfully, setting it down in front of me.
" Thank you JJ, " I said. I opened up the check book, still not sure what to do.
I looked at Leeteuk for help.
He laughed and grabbed the check book and one of the bills, starting it for me.
I smiled and watched carefully, willing to learn how to pay bills for Kay.
