Family by choice [ KIM SANHA ]

- 16 -

as sanha and his father got into the car and drove off to see his mother the three siblings and their dad were completely worried abt the boy and his father

They both arrived at the hospital running up to sanhas mothers brother who turned to look at them with a worried expression „how did you get here so fast from Japan?" sanhas father asks the man breathing heavily as he stops running

„There happened to be a flight. I just got here myself. I didn't tell mom yet her heart is still weak. I didn't know what would happen" he says his voice lowering in sadness and sanha looked at him

„Yeah, good thinking." sanhas father says nodding „uncle" sanha calls out making the man turn to look at him „yes, it's been ten years. You look the same Sanha. Sohui is with the lady who helps around the house. I told her to come in the morning but I might have to tell her not to." he says looking down

Sanha looks at the operation room his heart was skipping to beat at the thought of his mother getting a operation.

Hours have passed and the three were still waiting there until a doctor came in making all of them stand up quickly. „The surgery went well. We'll have to wait and see, but there's no need to worry for now." the doctor says making all three of them sigh in relief as they slowly sit back down

Meanwhile the three siblings and their father back home were still waiting for sanha and his father to come back in silence until the older man broke it. „You three have school tomorrow. Go and get some sleep." he says and then their phone gets a message

They all sigh in relief as they get a message of sanha saying that his mother will be fine. „thank goodness. See? I told you she'll be fine." Juwons father says making ji eun take a breath before turning to him „good night" she says before making her way to her room and her siblings do the same.

As ji eun went into her room she pulled out her phone and went to sanhas chat texting him if he is doing okay and as soon as she sent the message Eunwoo texted her asking her if she's okay and if she went to sleep

She opens the message answers him saying that she didn't sleep yet and seconds later she heard someone knocking on her window

„that can't be.." ji eun says slowly standing up from her bed and making her way towards the window opening it and letting the boy who climbed up get in

„What are you doing here? It's 3 am!" ji eun whisper yells as he goes to her bed laying down quickly

She sighs before locking her door and closing the window. She sits down next to the boy who was laying „Eunwoo.. it's so late" she says looking at him he just lets out a little laugh

She takes a closer look at him and squishes his cheeks quickly with her hands. „Why are you so red?" she asks and he smiles before pulling her closer and tucking her hair behind her ear

He whispers to her ear „I was drinking" he says and she widens her eyes but then pulls him closer to get a smell of him and she didn't realize it but he smelt like alcohol

„On a school week? At 3 am?" she asks and he sighs before laughing a little. „Why?" she asks tilting her head to him and he sighs „my father.. he's out of jail and he's been selling some stuff again I'm scared he might end up there again" he says sighing

Ji eun sighs before making him sit up. „I'm sorry Eunwoo.. you know don't be sad we are almost in the same situation and as long as we have each other we don't need to have any fears you're not alone on this one" she says putting her hand on his

He stared at her blankly he wanted to cry but even though he wasn't drunk he wouldn't show any sad emotion towards the girl. He laughed unexpectedly pushing the girl back by her forehead as he lays back down
