Behind The Walls (Completed)

"Pardon?" Ms. Gi frowned again at Mrs. Kim's words.

"Jaewoo-ah." Mrs. Kim assured with an interesting tune in her.

"But you said that you want to adopt a child." Ms. Gi invoked to her.

"I did say that I want to adopt but I didn't say that I want to adopt a child but a girl." Mrs. Kim illustrated while grinning at Ms. Gi with eyes of hope.

"Sorry but I didn't fully understand you" Ms. Gi stated and questioned " Can you explain to me more?"

Mrs. Kim gave a nod and explained "I want a girl for my son, and I came here because you have a good reputation." Then she added " See, my son is a business man and I want someone to be beside him"

"But I don't have girls now and all of them got married" Ms. Gi assured with a serious confused tune.

"Except for one " Mrs. Kim emphasised and resumed " Jaewoo-ah."

"But she's uhm" Ms. Gi stuttered then collected her words and spoke out while her hand is interwound with the other nervously " She's difficult."

" Pardon?" Mrs. Kim shook her head as she didn't get what she said.

" I mean she's tough." Ms. Gi gulped then resumed " I mean if she saw something that she doesn't like or doesn't agree with, she wouldn't hesitate to speak about it or arguing about it"

Mrs. Kim gave a wider smile like she has found what she was looking for and nodded with acceptance " That's exactly what I need, especially from her!"

"What?! I'm sorry but why-" Ms. Gi struggled in her words as she didn't understand what's going on.

"I'll explain to you more." Ms. Gi interwound her hands with each other and justified " I want Jaewoo-ah to be with my son."

"As if his wife?" Ms. Gi looked at her questioning with a blank expression.

Mrs. Kim gave a nod so Ms. Gi remarked " But she doesn't want to get married"

"Did she tell you that?" Mrs. Kim asked with a raised eyebrow in disbelief so Ms. Gi gave a nod.

Meantime, Jaewoo finished her soup then took the bowel on the food tray and took them to the kitchen to clean them. On her way to the kitchen, she bumped into one of the kids that was running around the house which made the tray almost fell from her hand so she shouted " Yah, don't you have eyes or they are just stupid meat balls there!" then she saw Ms. Gi coming out with an unexplained expression from her office followed by Mrs. Kim who had a beaming smile drawn on her face to Jaewoo then looked at Ms. Gi with the same beaming smile.

"I'll come back tomorrow in case if there's no chance, but I already prepared for her everything." Mrs. Kim stated so Ms. Gi nodded with hesitation.

After that, Mrs. Kim looked at Jaewoo with a broad smile and said, " See you again, Jaewoo-ah" and then walked away from them both, leaving the orphanage to go to her black car, leaving Jaewoo and Ms. Gi frozen in their places as if they were statues.

"What is this?" Jaewoo's frowned and wondered to herself then asked Ms. Gi " What did she say?"

"Later, Jaewoo-ah, later" Ms. Gi murmured then looked down giving a long sigh in disbelief and added " I'll go rest a little bit, okay?"

Jaewoo crossed her eyebrows at her then nodded. Afterwards, Ms. Gi went up to her room while Jaewoo went to the kitchen. She placed the bowel into the sink and then looked at the table and back at the sink in disbelief then questioned herself " Since when do they put the bowels into the sink without breaking something?"

Jaewoo shook her head then started to wash the bowels until she sensed something unusual happening behind her so she smirked while rinsing the last bowel then took the white piece of cloth and started to dry her hands and spoke " My senses are telling me that you are Jisun and you are trying to steal an extra cookie from the jar."

Jaewoo turned around and chuckled when she saw Jisun's eyes are bugged out and gulping then she sat on the table and grabbed the jar of chocolate chip cookies beside her " Sit down."

Jisun gulped and climbed on the chair then sat properly, looking at her in fear while she was tapping on the cap of the jar with her long fingers and spoke "hmm, so Jisun, tell me what I missed today during lunch and I'll give you what you want."

Jisun gulped again while looking at the jar and her then murmured with a tight tune " We had lunch today with Ms. Gi and another lady."

" Good boy, continue" Jaewoo dictated while raising an eyebrow in interest.

" We just ate tomato soup and then she started to ask questions about you."Jisun spoke while staring at the jar of chocolate chip cookies and almost drooled but Jaewoo smacked the table to snap him back and questioned with a serious tune of a police officer gaining answers from an international criminal with a raised eyebrow "What do you mean by she asked about me?!"

"She asked us who is she, that's all" Jisun gulped while looking at her eyes.

Jaewoo hummed while leaning her back against the brown chair and tapped her fingers again on the table then gave a loud hum while opening the jar of cookies and gave him one.

"I want another one!" Jisun raised his voice which made Jaewoo eyes bugged out in a scary way, so he took the cookie and ran away to the yard again.

"She's not going to adopt me, right?" Jaewoo frowned while wondering to herself then sighed and went to her room while she's taking some bites from the cookies she took from the jar.
