Is It Hard For You?

Chapter 1

"Omma, can I have an ice cream?" A girl around 4 years old tugged her mom's shirt with her pleading eyes. Her mom bent down to reach her height and smile sweetly to her.

"Of course you can, sweetheart... but first, you must help me clean up this table." She nodded to her mom then went to grab a cloth on the counter. She get on a chair by the help from her mom. She wiped the table until it's clean. Proudly, she praise herself for do it such a good job.

"Here is your reward." She takes the cup from her mom and eat quietly. It was her favourite since it's made by her mom.

Finally, it's 6 p.m. They went home by a taxi since she can't afford any car. Like usual, she check in the mailbox if there is a letter for her and it does. Bill and an invitation card.

"Jung Na Ra, you are invited to

wedding ceremony on . . . . . . . "

"Ahh, this girl... Finally, she got married." She unlocked her apartment door and went straight to the bedroom. She took a long and warm bath to rest her tired body. Then she make a dinner for both of them.

"What is that letter, omma?" Her daughter, Sohyun, asked while munching her food.

"I told you, do not talking while we are eating." She pouted because Nara does not give the answer but soon she forgot about what she asked just now.

~~~~~

She get on the bed after her daughter fall asleep. She look back at the letter she receive a few months ago. Its about her shop rent. She hide it from Sohyun all this time. She is still a kid but they can think further than we thought.

"10,000,000 $... How can I get this money in a short time." She sighed. She put it back in the drawer, make sure it be hidden. She turn to her daughter and stroke her hair softly.

"Why... you just like your father?.... I'm so sorry." She kiss her forehead then fall asleep.

Nara POV

"Sohyun, can you help me take that table's order?" She nodded and do what I told.

She is young but I manage to teach her writing even it's not perfect. Then she came back with a rose in her hand along with the order.

"Who gave this to you this time, Sohyun-ah?"

"It's not for me, but for you." I take it from her slowly and examine the flower. Well, it was my first time receive a flower. Usually, Sohyun will got the flower from some costumer. Their son told her, she was cute, that's why. She has a lot of secret admirer.

I smell it and it so good. It calmed me down since I like rose very much. I put it in a vase then make the order. I gave it to her and she carefully bring that to our costumer.

"Omma!" I look down to see her walk to me. I squat down aind she quickly put something into my apron pocket then peck on my cheek. Its weird. Not because of she kiss me but it too sudden.

She went to get another order after that. I took out a folded paper from the pocket. It's red in colour and has scent of flower.

"I made a mistake.. I came back to claim it." This person hand writing was so good, I admit that.. But also familiar. What does it means? Mistake?

He lean on his seat, tired and frustrated. His assistant came in to give him a file but he yank it away from his face. She pick up the file back and carefully place it on his table. She bowed to him before left the room.

He close his eyes while massaging his temples to release stress over his mind.

"YiHae, come in!!" He called for his assistant and she came right away.

"What is this?! Is this what you called work?! DO IT AGAIN!!" He snatched it to her and she take it, not forget to show respect then went out.

The truth is he not check it at all. He just need someone to throw on his anger. No one makes him angry but it just comes naturally whenever he tired. Instead of call another to become his victim, he find another way to make him calm.

He open the drawer and take out an envelope. His happiness was saved inside it. Three pictures of a short-haired girl with a bright smile on her face.

"Babe ....... I miss you." His phone interupted him by it sound which lead him to a big sighed.

"Ne~" he sang as soon as he pick up the call.

'Jungkook-ah, are you coming home tonight?'

"I have told you, I am this morning omma, remember?"

'I know and I hope there will be a girl too.'

"Omma, please.. I still can't forget about her." He heard his mother sighed in the other side.

'You need to move on. It for your own goodness.' his mother sounds pleading. She want him to be happy not drown down into his world which will never happen.

How many times, he had been told to forget her, he couldn't. She is his love and forever he is hers too. So that's how their conversation ended. Talk about a girl, he look back onto the picture in his hand.

"No one can replace you... No one..."

~~~~~

I wash the dishes after we were done eating. Sohyun was in the living room, watching her favourite cartoon. I take this chance to read back the incomplete message I got. This message would have meaning but I couldn't find it.

"Sohyun-ah, may I know, who give that flower to me?" I asked as I sit beside her. She crawl to me and sit on my lap.

"Ahjussi said, I can't tell you that he likes you. Its a secret." This cute girl. She really don't know how to keep a secret.

It's confusing. A guy told my daughter that he likes me. Who could it be? I have never met any guy nor dating since that day. He said he want to claim his mistake. Am I involve in his mistake? Ah, I can't think properly now.

"Omma!" Sohyun give me a quick peck in my cheek as I look down to her.

"What was that for?"

"He said, I have to give you a kiss at night." She is so kind but she did that for a stranger. It's dangerous for a kid like her. And the message... It's haunted me. If I ignore it, won't hurt, right?... Or it is?
