Ex-boyfriend ⇨ 양 정원

037: Dinner

Chloe's POV

How about you, Chloe? Mrs. Yang asked

Uhmm...

They waited for my answer. Wonnie stood up and run to the living room, he grabbed his iPad and watched cartoons and lied down on the couch. 

I don't even remember how long exactly. I said

Must have been a long time ago. Mr. Yang said

Yeah, it is a long time ago. Jungwon was my first... and also last. I said

All of their mouths made an 'O'

The time you made Wonnie? Sangwon asked

I nodded, I smiled.

Oh wow, you must miss it then. Sangwon said

Hmm... no, not really. I was so busy with everything before. Busy with school, taking care of Wonnie, studying while pregnant, giving birth and all. I said

I didn't realize that they were all staring at me.

I looked at them and their eyes were locked on me.

Oh sorry... I talk too much. I said

No, no. I actually want to hear more about what happened to you all this years. Can we hear some stories from you? Mrs. Yang said

I nodded.

Uhmm... started from when I left to go to Australia with Leo. I lived with my grandparents, cousins, aunts and all. I was practically homeschooled because my pregnancy wasn't too healthy. I paused when Sangwon asked something.

What way were you unhealthy? He asked

I wasn't the one unhealthy, Wonnie wasn't too strong and his grip on me was a bit weak so I was very careful all the time because my risk in having a miscarriage was really high during that time. I explained

Omo, you had a very difficult pregnancy. Mrs. Yang said

I just smiled at her.

Uhmm... when I gave birth, my grandparents paid for my bills. Wonnie stayed in the NICU for about a month because he wasn't too healthy when I gave birth. I said

What problem did Wonnie have? Sangwon asked

He lacked of blood, he had anemia. They kept him in the hospital for a month so that they can look after him closely and when they were close to curing him, they let us take him home. I said

Why haven't you told me any of this? Jungwon asked

You didn't ask so why would I want to bring something up out of nowhere. I said

It's my fault, isn't it? Jungwon said

He looked at me, I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

What do you mean? I asked

If I didn't cheat, if I had chosen you that time when you told me about Wonnie then maybe... Wonnie didn't get sick, you wouldn't have struggled so much. He said and stared at me with his sorry eyes.

It kinda is your fault. Sangwon said casually

Their mom slapped his arm, he pouted and rubbed his arm.

It's not your fault, as long as Wonnie and I are okay now then there's no problem between us. I said

Why? Why are you not mad at me? I cheated on you, I pushed you away knowing that you were pregnant... so why? He asked

I used to be mad at you... but I love you so much that if you chased me again then I'll find myself coming back to you. I wanted to remain angry at you but I can't... my heart won't let me. I wanted to move on from you so I decided to just forgive you and thought that it was the one keeping me from remembering you but it wasn't... it was Wonnie. I said

When you came back here, did you still have hope that maybe we could get back together? Jungwon asked

Actually... no. I didn't want to expect because even if we have a kid, I didn't think that we'll get back together. I thought... you already pushed me away before when I was pregnant so does it make any difference if we have a 3 years old kid now? My mind said no, it doesn't make any difference. But of course, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want you anymore. I said

But here we are, we're together again. He said and smiled

I smiled back.

Yeah... it wasn't in my plans but here I am, with you and all of you. I said

Sorry, Chloe. For all the things, everything. I did way too much that I can't even count the things I did to you. I'm sorry. Jungwon said

It's okay, I forgive you... for everything. I said

Everything? He asked

Everything, we're good now. I said

Yes! Jungwon shouted happily

Aigoo... my babies are adults now. Mrs. Yang said

You just figured that out now, mom? Sangwon said sarcastically

Yah! Stop talking back to me. Their mom said

Sangwon just laughed.

Last question... are you down for a second baby? Sangwon asked me

They all looked at me, especially Jungwon. He looked desperate waiting for my answer.

Of course I'm down to have a second baby, Wonnie has been asking me for one ever since we were still in Australia. I said

Mommy said I can't have one yet because I don't have a daddy before. But I have a daddy now. Wonnie said out of nowhere

Wonnie went to me and asked me to put him on my lap. I carried him and placed his on my lap.

Well... maybe soon, baby. Not now, but soon. Not until daddy proves himself and maybe... even put on a ring on mommy's finger. I said and chuckled

I heard Jungwon chuckle, I looked at him. He's chuckling while biting his lower lip.

That's right, you should put a ring on her first before entering her. Sangwon said

I choked on my own saliva. Entering? Entering me!?

Yah! Your mouth! I scolded him

What is daddy going to enter, mommy? Wonnie asked innocently

I laughed nervously at him before glaring at Sangwon. He mouthed sorry but I just rolled my eyes at him.

It's nothing, Wonnie. Don't worry about it. Jungwon said to our son.

He just nodded cutely and placed with my hair.

I swear to God, I'll kill Sangwon if he speaks like that again in front of Wonnie.
