It Will Always Be You (방찬)

We also left soon after the guys did. The kids were very happy and excited because they had a lot of good food. I let Soo Bin into the apartment with us. I bathed the kids and changed their clothes before letting them play around the house. While they played, Soo Bin and I talked in the living room about the surgery. I was very thankful to Soo Bin because he obviously cared about the twins as much as I did. He promised me that he'll help my family with the kids as much as he can while I'm in the hospital. After talking and playing with the kids, Soo Bin left and only the three of us were left at home. I put the kids in bed soon and then I studied for my finals in the living room while waiting for my family to arrive. When they arrived, I told them good night and then got ready for bed too.

The next morning, I went through my usual routine and brought the kids to the daycare. They were usually fine with being left there. But today, they were especially clingy and wouldn't stop crying. When I did manage to make them stop, I let them play with the other kids and then I quietly slipped away while they were distracted. I was just about to get on a taxi when their teacher called and asked me to come back because they wouldn't stop crying. I apologized to the driver and ran back to the daycare. I found the kids crying to the point that they were really red. I immediately came to hug them. I managed to calm them down and make them stop crying. In the end, I had to call Sun Gyu oppa and told him about what happened. He promised to help me with the kids. I also asked oppa to contact the others to inform them about the situation. He gave me his okay and then I brought the kids with me to the studio. We stopped by Soul Cup and I bought some coffee for Ji Sang oppa and 1Take oppa who were helping me with the recording and of course for Sun Gyu oppa. The kids held on to my shirt and followed me to the office. When we arrived at the studio, I greeted everyone and then I gave them the coffee and made the kids greet them. I made the kids sit on the sofa and looked them straight into their eyes.

"Bang Soo Hyun, Bang Woo Hyun, eomma is going to work now. You have to be very quiet and very behave. If you need something, you go and ask Sun Gyu ajjushi. Please stay here on the sofa. Do you understand me?" I asked them.

"Yes!" they said and then they started taking out their coloring book and crayons.

"Ya! This is the first time I've seen you with your kids. You really know what you're doing." Said Ji Sang oppa.

"Why did you bring them today?" asked 1Take oppa.

"They kept crying and wouldn't let me out of their sight. I had no choice but to bring them." I replied.

"Okay. So, how many songs are we recording today?" asked Ji Sang oppa.

"Well, we're recording the final 3 songs that's part of the album. And then we have 4 songs for my single monthly release starting from December."

"So, 7 songs. Well, you're great. I think we'll finish those today." Said 1Take oppa.

"Oppa, I'll treat you guys to lunch and dinner. Don't worry, I'll make sure that you guys eat."

"Okay. Let's get to work!" they said.

"Yes! Please take care of me." I said. And then I went to the recording booth.

We recorded all morning. By lunch time, we had finished recording 2 songs already. Instead of going out, we had the food delivered to the dining area and ate there. I didn't have much of an appetite so I only ate a bit and made sure that the kids were fed well. After lunch, we decided to take a 30-minute break before resuming. I went to freshen up and made sure that the kids had gone to the bathroom in order to avoid bothering Sun Gyu oppa with that. When we got back to the studio, the kids went back to their coloring book while we resumed recording. I could see the kids from inside the recording room and soon, I saw them sleeping on the sofa. We finished recording 3 more songs before we had to stop for dinner. We finished recording everything by 9 PM. After recording the last song, I went back to the studio and sat on the sofa where the kids were sleeping.

"Great work Se Rin." Said Ji Sang oppa.

"Ya, how do you balance everything?" asked 1Take oppa.

"Thanks for helping me out today. And I am actually barely holding on." I said.

"What do you mean?" asked Ji Sang oppa.

"I had to work, train, promote, go to school and take care of the kids. I'm a workaholic, but even doing that much makes me exhausted. It's a bit easier now because I'm only taking language classes because it's during the vacation. But during the regular semester, it's horrible." I replied.

"But why are you still doing it even though it's horrible?" asked 1Take oppa.

"It's because I love what I'm doing. It makes me happy."

"Wow! She sounds so mature right now. Aigoo, where's the little kid who used to run around?" asked Ji Sang oppa.

"She had to grow up early." I replied.

"So, do you want to grab drinks tonight?" asked 1Take oppa.

"Ya, we still have work to do! And Se Rin has kids with her." said Ji Sang oppa.

"Thank you for your work. Please continue to take care of me."

"Yes." They said.

"Then, please excuse me first oppa. I have to bring the kids home." I said.

"Okay." They said. And then they went back to work.

I quickly put the kids' things in their bags and was about to carry them when they woke up. They looked around and then I told them that it was time to go home. The suddenly looked excited. They took something from their bags and then I helped them put on their bags. We said thank you and were about to leave when they ran to Ji Sang oppa and 1Take oppa. The oppas seemed flustered but they turned to the kids.

"Thank you!" they said and then they gave the oppas a lollipop each.

After that, the oppas thanked them too and then we excused ourselves. Sun Gyu oppa met us outside and then we got into the van. He brought us home and then headed back. I immediately washed and put the kids to bed. I did the same soon after. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep almost immediately.
