"Uncle, how did you know my mom?"
"Oh... It's a long story, Zach."
"Okay... Promise me that you won't hurt my mom."
"Of course, I won't. I will take care of both of you."
"But why would you take care of me? You're not my dad?"
"I'm not your real dad but I can be your dad."
"But do grandma and Uncle Juyeon know this, mommy?"
"Yes, Zach."
"Please love my mommy, Uncle."
"Yes Zach..."
He then pushed his bicycle.
"Do you know how to ride a bicycle, uncle?"
"Yes, why?"
"Then let's ride bicycle. My mommy teaches me how to ride a bicycle. Come on..."
"Okay, okay."
I watched them enjoying together. It was happy seeing them having fun together.
After...
"Waaahhh... That was fun."
They both catched up their breaths. I gave them water.
"Thanks for having time with me, uncle!"
"Call me Daddy Hwa if you want."
"Okay... Uhmmh... Thanks for having time with me, Daddy Hwa!"
"Thank you too, Zach."
"Let's go home."
..........
"Mom?"
I called Zach's grandmother.
"Oh.... Siyeon!"
She quickly hugged me and also my brother.
"How have you been, noona?"
He get my bag.
"It's been very busy so I can't go home anyways."
"By the way, Ian has a cough and it's been a few days right now."
I looked at Zach.
"Zach? You have a cough? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Oh... I forgot, mommy. I'm sorry."
"I'll buy you some medicine tomorrow, okay? Stay with daddy tomorrow."
"Oh.... Uncle Juyeon!"
"Hmmmh?"
"I have a daddy right now!"
"Really?"
"Yep and I am happy."
"That's good to hear, Ian."
"I played with him earlier. We played rock, paper, and scissors. And we also ride the bicycle."
"Wow! That must be fun, Ian. It's always good to hear when you say you are happy."
"Yep"
They both laughed. This is how close they are.
"Okay okay... Stop that now. Go upstairs Zach and change your clothes then go to bed, okay?"
"Okay mommy! Goodnight!"
Before he went upstairs, he run into me and gave me a hug and a kiss.
"I love you, mommy!"
"I love you too, baby. Mommy loves you so much."
He went upstairs and sang a song.
"I thought your boyfriend doesn't like marrying a girl with a son that is not his blood?"
My mom said.
"I've explained it to him, mom. He said he wants to meet him so we decided to do it earlier. They became close."
"That's good, my daughter. At least you gave what Ian wants to have."
"Yes mom. Also we are planning to get married as soon."
"Marry?!"
"Uhmmh..."
"Just kidding... What was it?"
I laughed.
"Haha... I said we were planning to get married as soon."
"Oh... But I want to meet his family first."
"Yes, that's what we are talking about. His mom and dad agreed on it and we were waiting for you."
"Oh... I'll say yes."
"Thanks mom!"
I hughed my mom. Ever since I was a kid, she always says yes on my decisions. She knows how to agree and how to disagree about my decisions just to protect me from the wrong.
"N-noona."
My brother Juyeon called me. He was sweaty and I don't know what is happening.
"Look."
He showed me his girlfriend's text.
Sem
Ju, i'm pregnant.
W-what?!
Nothing happened to us!
I know... Sorry, Ju.
Sorry isn't enough for me!
"Oh... But- what if something really happened to both of you and you don't remember?"
"No! I swear! I swear to God nothing happened! I have never been drunk ever since before. You know me, noona."
"Yes I know you but I don't know if when will you have sex with other girls out there. I'm not asking you the weird question."
"Shut up... I'm gonna go into their house tomorrow. I'm gonna slap that man."
"Nahh... You are creating scandal again."
"I'm gonna do it. I don't care!"
Then a woman came in front of us claring her throat.
"What's going on here?"
"Ahhh... We are talking about Yeonghwa hyung."
"Really? Or about your girlfriend?"
Juyeon went silent.
"Oh mom! Help me please! What should I do?"
"Take the responsibilities, Juyeon!"
"W-what?! Responsibility? Are you serious, mom? I'm not the father so i'm taking those responsibilities as the dad. The real dad should. I've suspecting her a few months ago but she always say 'no'."
"Then? You'll just do a scandal in front of your girlfriend who is pregnant? What if she'll miscarriage the baby? You'll pay the hospital bills? If you want to break up with her then do it!"
"I love her but she did it."
