Loving You the Second Time Around

CHAPTER 13

You can lie to your friends, you can lie to yourself, but you cannot lie to your heart.

JUNMYEON'S POV

*Tok! Tok! Tok!*

"MMMM..." I opened my eyes slightly after hearing a knock from my main door which caused me to wake up.

I lazily got up, and headed to the door. With heavy steps and spinning head, I opened it with my lids half closed.

"Yes?" I asked without looking.

"Uncle Suho!"

A kids voice completely woke me up. A smile formed in my lips when I realized who it was.

"Myeonji? What are you doing here?" I asked as I level towards her.

She gave me a smile before answering. "I came here to visit you, and spend my day with you. Would that be okay?" She innocently asked.

I felt happy after hearing it, but got quite confused too.

"You're staying with me? Why?" I asked as I let her in.

"And where is your mom?"

I held her hand, and directed her to sit on the couch. I looked around my house and it was like there was a tornado which have just passed by.

"Well, mom has work today, and I don't have classes since it's the weekend, so I asked her if I could spend my Sunday with you. I got worried about you yesterday uncle. Are you okay?" she innocently asked.

I looked at her, and I can see the concern in her face. I smiled and said, "I'm fine, sweetheart. Thank you. By the way, what do you want to eat or drink?"

I asked while picking up the bottles that were scattered around the floor.

"I'm fine uncle. We had our breakfast before mom sent me here. Let me help you uncle." She stood up to help me.

"No. Just stay there. I can manage. What do you want to do today?" I asked as I went to the kitchen to throw away the bottles.

"Well, I just want to take care of you today. You look so stressed, uncle. Are you really okay?" She said when she followed me.

"Yes I am."

"That's good. Uh uncle, are you living here all by yourself? Mom mentioned that your financé is taking good care of you... But as I can see, hmmmm, you're house is quiet a mess"

I looked at her and laughed because of her side comment.

"She said that?" The kid nodded.

"My fiance and me aren't living in the same roof. I live alone Myeonji."

I grabbed her hand and we headed to the garden. The weather is so beautiful today so it's good to stay outside to freshen up.

"Oh, is that so, okay. Uh uncle Suho... I was just wondering, what were you doing yesterday at our house?"

I stopped on my tracks and looked at her. What would I tell her?

"I... uh... I... Well, I just want to talk to your mother with some matters, uh... you see, way back then... me and your mother were good friends, and I just want to catch up some things with her." I lied.

I am not that crazy to tell her that me, and her mother had a relationship back then. That's too absorb.

"Wow! So mom and you were friends? Oh so that is why mom called you 'Suho' the first time she met you again when we were at the park... but uncle, why haven't the two of you had a talk? You've been here long enough for you two to hang out?"
