Chapter 4

Hope you enjoy this chapter guys, thanks for reading you are seriously the best!xx

A few hours after dinner, Eun-Jae finally called back. She had been silly busy and she was ripping apart from all the stuff she had to do.
"I've seriously been so busy, I'm not even kidding you. I just saw your text, I wanted to call you immediately." She said in a rush, almost falling over her own words as she tried to turn on the camera on her phone.

"I'm just glad you're keeping busy and doing what you love to do," I replied in a soft giggle.

"I am, but i still you miss you so much. Anyways did you want to tell me something?" She leaned in closer to the camera in anticipation, "Don't tell, are you finally getting married?" She continued managing to cut me off before I had a chance to speak.

"We miss you too. And no we haven't gotten to that yet, but there is something else that might excite you," I fumbled for the picture and couldn't seem to find it. "Here it is," Donghae said as he came to the living room, bending down to pick up something from th floor.

The baby picture had fallen to the floor in my rush to answer my sisters call and I hadn't noticed. He handed me the picture and sat down next to me,"Eun-Jae! How are you?"

She gave out a tiny squeal when she saw him, even bigger than when i had answered the phone. I guess some things never change.
"Donghae! I'm great, I miss you guys. How was tour?"

He chuckled at her eagerness, giving her a kind brotherly smile, "We miss you too. Tour was great, but I missed this one so much." He gave me a quick peck on the cheek making me blush slightly.

"Aww you guys are so cute,"

"So, did you tell her?" Donghae asked me looking from Eun-Jae to me. I shook my head.

"Told me what?" She enquired raising both eyebrows.

"This," I held up the baby picture to the camera and Eun-Jae moved closer to her phone trying to decipher what it was. It didn't take her as long to figure out though.

"Oh my god, are you having a baby?" Her eyes widened and she beamed at the both of us. I thought she might have had a heart attack because she was stuck in a frozen position.

"You're going to be an auntie," I said with a proud look on my face.

"This is amazing! When are you due? I have to be there when the baby comes," her words sped up and she was stumbling over every word she spoke, eagerness flowing through her entire body.

"Around December, maybe you'll be able to make it during your holiday."
"I'll have to check when my holiday is, but I can't wait to meet your mini me! Do you known the gender yet?"
"No not yet, we will next week when we go to the doctor,"

"Let me know right away when you're done," she said smiling widely.

"Of course. How are you anyways?" I asked, turning slightly more serious.

"I guess that's my cue, I need to finish some work stuff. It was nice seeing you pumpkin," Donghae kissed my head softly and waved at the screen towards Eun-Jae.

"You too, take care." She waved back at him and he smiled before heading to his office.

"Actually i have something to tell you, I don't know if I should be worried or not..." she started, sighing heavily and looking down at her feet.

"What is it?" I asked.

Her face came back up and her eyes met mine, there was a deep concern plastered across her face. I could tell this was something serious.

"Well... yesterday when I spoke to dad, he suddenly asked me when I was coming home from high school. I told him that I'd finished high school a while ago and I'd move to the US," she paused looking at me as if to confirm something. "That's weird... what did he say when you told him?"

"He just kind of laughed it off, saying he must have forgotten for a minute and then he said something even more weird before hanging up on me," Eun-Jae took a deep breath, it seemed that this was affecting her more than I thought.

"He said; goodbye Eun-Jae I have to go meet your mother at the restaurant now," she finished her sentence, her voice almost quivering.

I had stopped moving and sat frozen in the sofa not sure I was really comprehending what she was telling me.
"Wow, he really said that?"

"Yeah, at first I thought I was mistaken but I wasn't. Y\N, do you think there's something wrong with him?"

"I don't know Eun... it does sound super strange, to be honest I don't know what to do.  Maybe if we just keep an eye on him and see what happens, if it gets worse we'll take him to the doctor," I heaved a deep sigh massaging my temples lightly with the tip of my finger.

"I didn't want to make you worry but I just wanted to let you know that's what happened in case he does it again. Just please look after him, it must be hard for him that none of us are living at home anymore," Eun-Jae's eyes were glazed over as if she was about to cry.

"I know, I'm glad you told me that. We'll be able to keep an eye out for anything weird. I'll send Donghae over to the house tomorrow morning to check on him. I know you're worried but try not to let it get to you too much, you should be enjoying college, alright?"

"Thanks, you're the best. I cant help but worry about him, I'm not as worried because I know you guys are there to take care of him, if it had been just me and I was overseas I probably would have come home. Anyway, I need to go now, I got to finish the last of my homework for tomorrow,"

"I understand sweetheart, we will do our best to take care of appa. I'll keep in touch, let you know how things are going okay? Just let me worry for the both of us and you go out a have some fun or whatever it is you do nowadays in college," I gave her a reassuring smile and it seemed to calm her down a bit.

"Okay, keep me updated! If I can, I'll call tomorrow. Otherwise I will let you know when I have time,"

"Alright, I will. Talk soon then,"

"Yeah talk soon, bye."

The video on my phone turned off and the screen went black. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I had been holding and slumped back in the sofa closing my eyes.

What in the world was going on? What was wrong with dad? Had he hurt his head or suffered a small aneurysm?

When Donghae came back out of his home office, I told him everything Eun-Jae and I had talked about and he immediately agreed to go to the house tomorrow to check on dad.

I knew Eun-Jae had only meant well telling me this, but I was so worried about him now that I didn't get much sleep during the night. In fact I went to the living room so not to disturb the sleeping man next to me and watched the cooking network until I eventually fell asleep.
