"Noooo!!" Hana yelled.


I silently thanked whoever was at the door. I got up and opened it. My mom and Jiyong stood in the hallway.


"Mama!" Jiyong shouted, attaching himself to my leg.


"Hi, Jiyong! Did you have fun with Gramma?" I asked, kneeling down to talk to him.


"Yeah! We went to get ice cream!"


I ruffled his hair. "That sounds awesome! Go inside now and play with Aunt Hana."


He ran inside yelling, "Auntie Hana!"


I stood up, facing my mother. "Thanks, Mom. How was he?"


She looked like she didn't know how to say something. "He kept asking me why he doesn't have a dad and why everybody else does." She sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that...Jiyong needs his dad."


My expression fell. "Mom, you know why I can't do that."


"Y/N, please, Jiyong needs him."


"I'll try my best, but no promises."


She smiled at me. "Thank you, dear." She kissed my cheek. "I'll pick Jiyong up same time next week."


"Bye, Mom. Love you." Waving at her, I watched her leave.


I didn't think I'd ever be able to face Jimin. I doubted he even remembered me.


I closed the door. Behind me Hana and Jiyong played with his dinosaurs. I checked my watch.


"Hana, don't you have a shift in half an hour?" I asked, placing my hands on my hips.


She checked her own watch. "Oh, wow. Would you look at that; you're right." She got up and walked toward me. Hana pointed her finger at me as she passed. "We'll finish our conversation later."


Once she left, I sat down and played dinosaurs with Jiyong. He held a big T-Rex in his small hand and a little T-Rex in his other hand.


At age five, Jiyong already reminded me of Jimin with his chubby cheeks and lips and the way he charmed his way out of doing things he didn't want to do.


Jiyong made roaring noises, shaking the dinosaurs. I laughed.


"Why don't we take Mommy and Baby Dinosaur to the park, Jiyongie?" I asked, brushing his dark hair with my fingers.


"No!" he shouted. He held up the big T-Rex to my face. "This is Daddy Dinosaur, not Mommy Dinosaur."
