When We Were Young

• 40 •

• Na Jaemin •

I woke up because I heard the door closed, Ahra came in with a plastic and placed them in the table.

She went next to Jason and kissed his forehead "wake up now sleepy head, I know you really want to see your daddy and he is here"

"Mommy did everything for you to have a daddy once you wake up" she continues "I hope he will love you both, I don't care if I am just no one to him now" she started to sob and I just continue to pretend I am sleeping.

Eversince I asked Jaemin the favor, Jaemin seemed more distance and acting like I am just a total stranger to him now.

I understand why he is being like that though.

But it's just making things hard for me to do something.

Jaemin suddenly moved around in the couch he is laying right now and perfectly Sora came in the room with food and the clothes I asked her to bring.

"How is he doing?" Sora went next to the bed.

"Still sleeping" I replied "I hope he wakes up anytime soon"

"I meant Jaemin" she looks at me and I only give a small smile "you know you don't have to right?"

"Appa wants me to at least let them see and know who their father is even if he won't accept them"

"That is really hard" she commented, all I can do is agree.

"Jaemin doesn't seem to care, it's like I am caging him in this room with me and Jason" I looked at Jaemin's way who is peacefully sleeping "I felt bad for him for getting involved even he is happy with Yerim"

"Even if he is happy with her, his parents also wanted to have connection with the kids, his parents will probably ask him too to keep you here in Korea just to keep the kids near them"

"You told me that his mother looked so happy when you introduced them to her as 'haleomoni' and even treated them snacks, his parents even came when Jason was still in the Surgery room"

"I didn't know that"

"Staff actually asked me since they looked for you and Jason" she answers.

"I just hope everything will go well with you and the kids, specially in this state of yours" she said while fixing herself to go back out for work "I will leave you again, I still have something to do" I only nodded to her and she left.

I sat on the chair next to Jason and the door opened once again, Yangyang and Haechan came in with flowers on Yangyang's hand and fruit basket on Haechan's hand.

"Oh? Why is he here?" Haechan asked with surprised tone looking at Jaemin.

"I'll tell you later" I simply said, Yangyang patted my back.

"You should rest, we know you can't get stressed or else something bad happens" Yangyang suggested and I smiled to him "go home, we won't leave until you come back" Yangyang smiled.

"Kun hyung is waiting outside, he will drive you home and he will come back so the 3 of us will look after Jason" Haechan spoke this time "stop doubting, I am serious" I only smiled to Haechan since he knows I always doubt him whenever he makes promises.

"I will walk you to Kun-ge's car" Yangyang made me stand up.

"Please keep your eyes on him" I looked at Jason one last time "call me if something happens" Haechan only nod and I smiled to him.

Yangyang and I walked out of the room with mask on and coat on since it is cold "did you and Jaemin talk?" He asked shyly.

"Yeah, but not what you expected" Yangyang went silent when I replied, we arrived in the elevator and luckily the lift came right away.

"You should come back tonight to have plenty of rest" he begins to speak again "we don't have any schedules ahead us and we know you need us the most"

"Thank you Yang" I replied and we arrived in the basement where Kun's car is parked right outside the entrance.

Yangyang opened the shotgun door for me and when I entered Xiaojun and Doyoung is with them too, Yangyang went back right away when we drive off.

"Why do you have bodyguards?" I asked Kun.

"They are going to Help Renjun and Chenle with Jasmine while you rest, and also look after you" Kun replied while driving, I only let out a small laugh.

"I'm not disabled, and Jasmine is not as wild as you guys" Xiaojun laughed of what I said "maybe this guy only wanted to chill in my house?" I pointed at Xiaojun who is sitting behind Kun.

"I heard Jaemin is there" Doyoung suddenly change topic and I only replied a 'uhm' to him "that's a surprise" Doyoung commented.

"At least he stayed even he doesn't want too" Kun added, we all stopped talking.

I looked outside the window, watching the side walk with snow.

"Once Jason wakes up" Doyoung started to talk "are you going back to Canada?" I didn't reply right away since I am also not sure.

"Maybe it's for the best if we go back" I replied plainly to him "I still have work and they both have school too" I added for an excuse.

"But Sora is staying here?" Xiaojun spoke this time "isn't that hard for you to take care of them both alone?"

"I gave birth to them alone"

"But, you still can't travel since Jason just had a surgery" Kun reminded me.
