Three Weeks Later
We're close to the end of June, the twenty-sixth to be more specific and it's safe to say that I've grown really close to everyone that I see pretty much every day now. There's no struggle with the kids most of the time, Winwin and Chaeun keep me company when I babysit sometimes which I would say strengthen our bond that I sort of fell into, and last week I finally felt confident enough to ask Mr. Dong for a raise... he gave it to me.
All I needed was time to slip right in like butter. Although not every day is a great day. Father's Day was last Sunday. I've dealt with a lot of guilt while living with the father of my daughter who doesn't even know it but Father's Day was the like peak of that guilt.
The morning of Father's Day I was making these specific pancakes that they give their father only on this day. I do a lot of the cooking because I enjoy it. Anyways, as I was making them and then suddenly Winwin walked in with his laptop and took a seat right in front of me. I realized it was his day too.
Feeling guilty... I gave him a pancake. He was happy to receive one since only fathers get one. Little does he know... right? Yeah, so, I single-handedly ended a tradition they've had for years by giving Winwin a pancake or at least in their eyes when I know the truth.
I'm just glad they were gone for the rest of the day to go fishing so I wouldn't have to see Winwin.
Something else about Winwin from these past few weeks is that he hasn't flirted with me at all. I don't know what happened that made him change in a blink of an eye but I'm glad we can sort of move on from that and I can focus on being a mother, babysitter, and not some girl in love. I really have been keeping my priorities straight. Dohee is coming back this Wednesday with my sister. It's exciting and nerve-wracking.
Dohee will be staying with me until her birthday which means she'll be breathing the same air as Winwin. I don't know what I'm gonna do when that happens.
On second thought... that situation will be peak guilt.
I'm still not sure what I'm gonna do about my job and having Dohee with me. Probably ask for a few days off. I'm just glad I have my sister. She's always been my backbone that I use way too often... she says she doesn't mind taking care of Dohee because it's practice for when she has a baby. My sister is the best.
As I played with my hair, Winwin walks in very frantically as he seemed to be searching for something.
"What are you looking for?" I ask.
"A blue tie. Have you seen one laying around?" he asked, putting his hand in between the couches.
"Blue tie? Yeah, it was on the couch but I saw Mr. Dong take it to the kitchen."
"Oh, okay, thanks," Winwin said before racing to the kitchen. He came back to the living room and took off his jacket. "Thanks again."
