Like A Star (별처럼)

chapter three.

3 and a half years later.

"Yaedeura! Wake up! Don't you know what day it is?!"

It was 6:30am and Seohyun was the only one awake.

"UNNIE! WAKE UP!"

"Seo Joohyun, if you won't stop shouting we're gonna tell Yonghwa!"

"TAEYEON-UNNIE'S COMING BACK TODAY!"

The 7 girls quickly woke up as soon as they heard Taeyeon's name.

"Oh my gosh! We forgot! Weren't we supposed to throw her a party?!" Jessica facepalmed herself.

"We still have time. Taeyeon-unnie will reach Seoul at 8:30pm."

Seohyun informed them. Just then, Yuri thought of an idea.

"How about we separate? Some people go buy the party stuff, others go plan on who to invite, and some will pick Taeyeon-unnie from airport!"

"YEAH!" The girls agreed.

"Syoung! Soonkyu! Hyoyeon! You guys go to the mall and buy the party stuff. Im Choding! Sica! We'll stay here, clean the dorm and prepare. While you two, Seo and Tiff, you girls pick our leader up later. Got it?"

"OKAY~"

The girls separated and did as they were tasked to. Sooyoung, Sunny, and Hyoyeon went to the nearest mall and bought the party needs. Yuri, Yoona, and Jessica grabbed cleaning materials and started cleaning their dorm. While Seohyun and Tiffany waited for the time to strike 8pm, so they could pick Taeyeon up.

"Fany-unnie! What do you think will Taeyeon-unnie's daughter look like?"

"Oh right! Taeyeon's daughter! I bet she's pretty like her umma."

"Yeah... But do you think she'll resemble Wooyoung-ssi even a bit?"

"Ssh! That name is a taboo in this house remember?"

"Sorry."

Wooyoung's name has been a taboo ever since the girls found out that Taeyeon's pregnant. Taeyeon gets depressed hearing his name so she made a rule and made Wooyoung's name a taboo.

--

7:45pm.

All was ready - the decorations, and the food which Sooyoung almost ate. It was time for Seohyun and Tiffany to do their part. They rode their van as they headed towards the airport.

"Umma!"

A little girl tugged onto her umma's dress as she called for her.

"Hyesun-ah, wae?"

"Can we go now?"

The little girl could speak two languages. Her first language was English, while her second was Korean.

"Wait a little more, okay. Your aunts are coming to fetch us in a while."

Taeyeon smiled at how beautiful her daughter was. She resembled a bit of Wooyoung but most of her looks were hers.

"KIM TAENGOO!"

Tiffany rushed over to her best friend and welcomed her with a tight hug. Seohyun did the same as she ran over to her unnies.

"Umma?"

Hyesun tugged onto Taeyeon's dress once more.

"Girls, this is my daughter, Hyesun."

Tiffany and Seohyun looked at the little girl hiding behind her umma's dress.

"Annyeong?"

Seohyun and Tiffany greeted the little girl. Hyesun smiled.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Hyesun imnida!"

The little girl gave them her cute smile as they hugged each other.

After a while, Taeyeon placed her luggages in the trunk, with the help of Tiffany, while Seohyun went inside the car with Hyesun.

--

"SURPRISE!"

Taeyeon jumped a bit getting shocked. The girls' surprise party was a success.

"Umma, are they your group members?"

Little Hyesun asked in slang Korean, just like her "aunt" Tiffany.

"Kyaaa! She's so cute!"

Yoona got excited and carried Hyesun to her arms.

"Are you Yoona-unnie?"

Hyesun asked the excited Yoona.

"Yes I am! Your accent is really cute!"

"Yah! When my accent was like that, all you girls told me was it was annoying!"

Tiffany protested, creating a huge laughter with the girls.

"Yoona-unnie is really pretty."

Hyesun complimented her unnie.

"Kamsahamnida, Hyesun-ah!"

Yoona gave the kid a kiss on her cheek.

--

Party has ended. Hyesun was fast asleep in Sunny's arms. She brought her to their room and placed her down her umma's bed. The girls were cleaning up their mess as they were about to go to sleep.

"Yah, Kim Taeyeon. Can I tell you something?"

Jessica asked Taeyeon. This was after the girls were done cleaning. They were all probably asleep now. Jessica signaled Taeyeon to sit on the living room with her.

"Yes, Jessica?"

Jessica took a sigh.

"What are your plans now? Won't you tell Hyesun's father that you have his child?"

Taeyeon looked down to her toes.

"Kim Taeyeon, answer me."

"Not yet..."

Jessica shook her head, disagreeing with Taeyeon's answer.

"Jang Wooyoung is your daughter's father. He has the right to see your daughter. You cannot keep his daughter away from him."

Taeyeon teared up.

"You better tell him as soon as possible. Listen to me, Tae. You really need to tell him."

Jessica walked to her room leaving the crying Taeyeon in the living room.

"U-Umma?"

Hyesun peeped through the door. She walked towards her mom as she grabbed a piece of tissue paper and wiped her mom's tears.

"Umma, don't cry."

"Kamsahamnida, Hyesun-ah."

Taeyeon replied as she hugged her daughter.
