"Mamma, please! Please, Mamma," Era pleads, squinting her small eyes as she stands on the bed.
"No..." I say firmly.
She affectionately holds my cheeks, making me look at her. "Mamma, understand. What will I do with Grandma alone? So-ha will not be there, and I will get bored, Mamma. Please, Mamma, take me with you. I promise I'll not cause you any trouble."
I chuckle, holding her small hands. "You never cause trouble for me," I say, and she giggles.
"Then take me too. I want to learn your work so that I can help you earn," she declares. Her innocent words melt my heart, even though she doesn't fully understand what she's saying. Her words show her love for me, and it means so much.
"Mamma, please, I want to go with you," she repeats, her eyes wide and hopeful.
I sigh and finally agree. "Alright, I'll take you," I say.
She jumps in joy and hugs me tightly. "I love you, Mamma!"
I chuckle, hugging her back. "Clever girl, you know how to manipulate me," I say, feeling warmth spread through my heart.
She giggles, her happiness infectious. "Thank you, Mamma! I promise to be good."

Era walks ahead of me, greeting everyone with her cheerful voice. "Good morning, everyone," she says with a bright smile.
Everyone looks at her in awe and greets back, "Good morning, little Ms. Kim."
"Oh, today little Ms. Kim is here too," one employee remarks.
Another adds, "It looks like we have a special guest today."
Everyone laughs, charmed by her bossy demeanor. She walks with such confidence that it's hard not to smile at her.
In the afternoon, Sun-Hee offers to take Era to see the studio. "Come on, Era, let me show you around," she says.
I nod, knowing today there is no shoot scheduled for Jimin, so he won't be here. "Go ahead, sweetheart. Have fun," I say.
