It Will Always Be You (방찬)

(a/n: Normal/English ; Se Rin/Chan/Eomeoni/SKZ)

Chan and I just talked since we had a lot to talk about. Even when the food arrived, we continued to talk. We talked while eating our meal. But our bubble burst when my phone rang. I took it out and saw that eomeoni was video calling me. So, I picked up.

"Yes eomeoni?" I said. I made sure that I wasn't showing anyone. But I noticed that they were all looking at me.

"Did you already leave the hospital?" she asked.

"Yes. I left this morning. I'm actually having my meal out right now."

"Oh? I hope you're having a good time eating since it's been a while since you've gone out."

"I'm really having fun. I'm enjoying the food and enjoying being out even though it's cold out. Eomeoni, have you already had your meal?"

"Yes. I've already eaten. By the way, I called since I wanted to ask if you wanted to stay with us for a night. I'll prepare Chan's room for you." she said. When she said that, I noticed that everyone was confused. And then Chan grabbed my phone.

"What are you talking about eomma? Don't let her into my room. It's embarrassing." Said Chan.

"Oh, you're there too. Are you eating well? Are you getting enough sleep?" she said. And then I took the phone.

"Eomeoni, we're eating lunch with everyone." I said. And then I showed her everyone.

"Annyeonghaseyo eomeoni!" they said together.

"Oh, annyeong!" she said. And then I turned to her again.

"Eomeoni, we live right across the street from you. So, you'll see me every day. Besides, I don't think Chan will be comfortable with me going there."

"Okay. Oh, and I sent some snacks for you and the twins. I'm not sure when it'll arrive though."

"Really? Kamsahabnida eomeoni." 

"What about me eomma?" asked Chan.

"Of course, I sent something for you too. Oh, and Se Rin ah, the thing we talked about before, it's settled already."

"Really?! Thank you! I'll send it over later eomeoni." I said.

"Okay. I'll call you again later okay? Enjoy your meal. You enjoy your meal too adeul." Said eomeoni before she hung up. Everyone looked confused and Chan was just dumbfounded.

Chan's POV

I'm so happy seeing Se Rin getting along well with eomma. It's like we're on the stage where we're meeting our in-laws.

"Why does it feel like Se Rin nuna is the child and Chan hyung is the child's friend?" asked Min Ho. Breaking me from my train of thoughts

"I've actually thought that myself. Eomma calls her more often than she calls me. I guess she must really like Se Rin." I said.

"But why was eomeoni asking if you wanted to sleep over nuna?" asked Ji Sung.

"Do they have a house here we don't know about Se Rin nuna?" asked Chang Bin.

"And what do you mean by you live across the street from their house nuna?" asked Jeong In.

"Oh, that's because my family is going on a trip to Sydney next year. We'll be staying at my late eonnie's house there. And it happened to be right across the street from his house." she explained.

"You're going to Sydney nuna?" asked Felix. Why didn't I know she was going to Australia?

"Yeah. We're leaving in February." she replied.

"Why didn't I know that?" I asked.

"What are you talking about? I think I've mentioned it to you before."

"You did? When did that happen?"

"I mentioned it a couple of months ago. Anyways, we're leaving in late February."

"Is everyone going?"

"Yes. The kids and I will be leaving a couple of days earlier than the rest of my family though."

"Why?"

"They still have some work to finish then. So, the kids and I will go first to have some fun by ourselves. Although I think we'll be seeing eomeoni a lot."

"I think she'll bring you around the place since you didn't get a chance to actually go around before. She may introduce you to the neighbors too."

"I think it'll be nice to go around the place. But I think introducing me to the neighbors will be a bit too much since I won't be going there much."

"If eomeoni introduces nuna to the neighbors, they might think that she's their daughter-in-law or something." Said Chang Bin.

"Oh? That's right! Hyung, nuna, have your parents met already?" asked Hyun Jin.

"They haven't met yet. It scares me to let them meet. I don't want to cause a misunderstanding."

"What kind of misunderstanding nuna?" asked Seung Min.

"I'm scared that people might misunderstand the purpose of my visit there if I get introduced to the neighbors and our parents decided to get together."

"Oh? It will look like you went there to meet your in-laws." Said Ji Sung making everyone laughed. She was about to say something to Ji Sung when her phone rang. 

Se Rin's POV

"Yes?" I said.

"Oh, is this Soo Hyun and Woo Hyun's teacher. Is it possible for you to come here as soon as possible?" she said.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked worriedly.

"Well, there was a bit of an accident and the twins wouldn't stop crying. They keep looking for you. We've tried everything we could to calm them down but they keep asking for you." she explained.

"What? I'll be there soon. Please tell them that I'll be there soon. I think that'll calm them down a bit." I said and then we hung up. I immediately put my things in my bag, took out my wallet and handed Chan my credit card.

"Hey, is everything okay? Why do you look so worried? Did something happen?" he asked me worriedly.

"I have to go. There was an incident at the daycare. The twins won't stop crying. I need to go." I said and then I got up.

"Do you want me to go with you?" asked Chan.

"It's fine. Besides, I don't think it's a good idea at the moment since I'm going there for the kids. Anyways, please enjoy your lunch. Don't worry about the bill. Chan has my credit card. I'll see you guys later. Chan, I'll come and get my card when I get back later." I said. And then I quickly left.
