One Step To Paradise

Chapter 35:

Irene's POV

Joohyun?? Who's that?? why is Suzy's mother calling me Joohyun??

"Ahm..."
I started.

"Mom, that's Irene.... You said Joohyun's dead, right?"
Suzy said as she stared at her mother.

I was confused. I look at Suzy then at her parents.
"Ahww right..."
Her mother chuckled.
They must be mistaken about me and her... Joohyun...

"So, you're Irene?"
Her mother smiled.

She reminded me very much of my mother...
Their aura it's just... They give off the same feeling....

"Oh sorry for being rude! Yes, my name is Bae Irene, nice to meet you!"
I said as I smiled cheerfully.

Her husband chuckled.
"Bae?"
He asked as if he's interested.

I nodded then both of them smiled warmly at me.
How I miss my parents up there..

"So, Irene, thank you for letting this brat stay at your house."
She said as she ruffled Suzy's hair and Suzy groaned.

"Oh no problem ahm.."

"Just call us Mrs. And Mr. Bae"

"No problem M-Mrs. And Mr. Bae."
I said as I stuttered.

They both laugh as Suzy hugged her mother tight.

"Mom, where will you stay?"
Suzy asked.

"Oh! I have extra rooms if you want, Mr, and Mrs. Bae."
I said.

They clapped their hands as Mrs. Bae held both of my wrists.

"Really?! Can we stay?! Anyway, we're only here for 1 week."
Mrs. Bae said as she exclaimed.

I smiled as I nodded.
Suzy pouted when she heard that they'll only stay for a week.

We went our way and called for a taxi as Mr. Bae puts all their luggage at the back of the taxi.

Funny how we have the same surname though.
Well, it's just a coincidence.
Like Kim Min Seok, Kim Jun Myeon, Kim Jong Dae, Kim Jong In. I mean, don't tell me they're all siblings right?

I shrug all my thoughts as I gave the taxi driver the directions to my house.

The ride was full of talks as Mr. And Mrs. Bae interviewed me.≧﹏≦
Like, my favorite food, was Suzy being a brat like she is, how was my school, Is Suzy doing good and such.
I find it very comforting and warm talking to them.

And Suzy, who was sitting at the front seat, keeps on saying 'stop it, mom.' Since her mom bombarded me with questions.

I rarely see this side of Suzy.
And I think I'm one of the lucky ones.
She looked really innocent and like a pouting-child.
I kinda like this side of her.

When we arrived, I opened the gate and let Mr. And Mrs. Bae went in first.

I helped Mr. Bae with the luggage as Suzy helped them too.

I searched for my keys near the flower vase, (cause that's where I'll always place it) and opened the door.

Suzy closed the gate and she also went inside.

I gestured politely to them to sit first at the couch as I settle their belongings.

"So, Mr. And Mrs. Bae, I'll show you your room upstairs."
I said as I smiled at them.

They returned their smiles as they stood up followed behind me.

Suzy prepared for our late breakfast as she placed the plates.
