"Are you planning to marry my son?," his mom asked me.
"Mom," I said.
I immediately looked at Ji-won. Her eyes were wide just like me, and she's blushing a bit probably because of embarrassment. Mom! Aish.
"Uncle!," Hyun-joo noona's daughter said, reaching out for me. (Disclaimer: I forgot from the previous chapter that Hyun-joo has a daughter, not a son, mian readers)
"Yeobo, we better get inside the food. It will get cold," dad said to mom.
Mom looked at dad, and then dad looked away from her, not wanting to look at her directly. Dad is afraid of mom.
"You know what, Ji-won, please forgive mom she's just, you know. Soo-hyun is our only brother," Hyun-joo noona said to Ji-won while she's handling her daughter to me.
She left me and Ji-won alone with her daughter on my arms.
"Uncle Soo!," she bubbled cutely while tapping on my cheek.
I smiled at her. She's so cute.
"How old is she?," Ji-won asked, looking at me and my niece.
I smiled at her while babying my niece on my arms,"she's 5 years old now," I replied.
She got near us and was trying to play with my niece on my arms. Meanwhile, my 5 years old niece was staring at her with curious eyes. I think she's analyzing if Ji-won should be a friend or not. She is usually like that with strangers.
Ji-won gave my niece a cute expression while playing with her, and then suddenly, my niece reached out to her.
"Oh! Oh! Do you want to go to Ji-won? You want?," I asked her baby, talking her.
"Di-won?," my niece asked me.
I laughed.
"It's Ji-won, dear. Auntie Ji-won. You like me?," Ji-won asked, still baby, talking my niece on my arms.
My niece giggled and reached for Ji-won more. I immediately give her to Ji-won before she throws a tantrum. Ji-won claps her hands together, signaling that she's also happy that my niece is going with her.
Once my niece is on her arms, my niece immediately hugs her and puts her head on her right shoulder.
"Aw, you are so sweet, little girl," Ji-won said, soothing my niece's back.
This sight is very heart tugging, and I like how my niece liked Ji-won already. Then my niece reached out to me, too. I quickly got near them and looked at my niece, then she reached out her one hand to me. I hold her tiny hand.
"Hug," she said.
I give her a puzzled look while she just blink her eyes at me.
"I think she's saying that you should ah hug m-me and her... am I right, little one?" Ji-won said, and she looked at my niece.
