“Mom? A test to become a mom?”
Hayeon wiped away the yogurt residue, her ears filled with doubt.
“Are you… not here, Mom?”
It was delicate to ask if the child might get hurt.
“Ji-hu doesn’t have a mom. So, can Nuna be Ji-hu’s mom?”
Hesitatingly, Hayeon forced herself to think in her momentarily blank mind. So, the child kept coming to buy cola because there was no one to correct their habits…
Unable to withstand the pitiful look after understanding the situation, Hayeon couldn’t bear it. But even so, how could she become a mom?
Hayeon frowned, contemplating how to explain it to the child in a way they would understand easily.
“Hey, Ji-hu. Being a mom is not something I can do just because Nuna wants to.”
“It’s not that you don’t want to do it, right?”
Huh? Why is that question coming up? The point of my words is not that.
“Yeah, it’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s something I can’t do. To become a mom, you have to marry Dad, and Dad has to like Nuna too.”
Is this the right way to explain it? Hayeon awkwardly smiled, feeling cold sweat breaking out.
“If you don’t dislike doing it, it’s okay.”
Okay? Why does he agree so quickly? Hayeon briefly opened her mouth. Worried that Ji-hu might throw a tantrum, it turned out the child was surprisingly well-mannered. That made her feel even sadder.
“Instead, let’s play together at my house.”
Staring into Ji-hu’s eyes, who was looking at her with hopeful eyes, Hayeon couldn’t bring herself to say it’s impossible.
“Uh, yeah, sure.”
Nodding in agreement, she hesitated to answer, and only then did the child smile brightly.
“Well, be sure to come play at our house this weekend, okay?”
Looking at the child’s outstretched little finger, Hayeon felt something was going wrong but realized it was too late to turn back.
“Yeah, sure. Promise.”
In the end, she hooked her little finger. Even though she knew that promising with a little finger is the best promise for children.
The promised weekend with Ji-hu arrived.
Looking at the clock, Hayeon let out a deep sigh. Perhaps it was because she had grown attached to the child, or maybe it was because she heard about the absence of a mom. Since then, a heavy rock seemed to have settled in one corner of her heart.
“I can’t do anything for them.”
Knowing that, just thinking about the child made her sigh involuntarily.
Perhaps she was unconsciously overlapping her figure, alone in the world, with the child.
“Will they really come?”
Hayeon wondered if Ji-hu would really remember their promise, finishing her part-time job at the convenience store.
She had already informed the child about the time she would finish the Saturday morning part-time job, but whether the child would remember was unknown.
“If they come to pick me up…”
She would have to go. After reaching that conclusion, she opened the convenience store door and stepped outside.
There was something her father had emphasized from a long time ago. Never make promises that you cannot keep in the first place. And if you make a promise for any reason, you must take responsibility for your words.
If the child remembered the time and came to pick her up, it meant they had been looking forward to this moment, so she didn’t want to disappoint them.
Clang! As she opened the convenience store door and stepped outside, someone greeted her warmly.
“Nuna!”
Seeing the child smiling brightly like the sunny weather, Hayeon shook hands with them.
“Ji-hu, you came?”
Thinking that the child had been eagerly awaiting their promise, a smile naturally appeared on Hayeon’s lips.
“I counted every night until today with my fingers, waiting continuously.”
Why does Ji-hu express it so beautifully? Hayeon gently stroked Ji-hu’s head.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
Ji-hu took her hand towards a glossy black sedan.
Huh? Are we going in that? Whether Ji-hu knew that her eyes were shaking like an earthquake, he opened the door and said,
“We have to take this to get to our house.”
“Uh, okay.”
Being led by that hand, when she got into the car, Hayeon had no idea what would happen afterward or whom she would meet.
“This is our house.”
Getting out of the car and passing through the gate, Hayeon’s mouth fell open.
“I-Is this really your house?”
She doubted it since the driver’s sedan, but she didn’t expect it to be this big.
The vast lawn was decorated with eye-catching sculptures. Looking at the well-arranged yard that could be believed to be a small art gallery, Hayeon realized she was staring with her mouth open like a fool and quickly corrected her expression.
“There are a lot of things like this inside too. Do you want to take a look?”
Seeing Hayeon showing interest in art, Ji-hu proudly suggested.
“Oh, uh, sure.”
As Hayeon nodded, Ji-hu, with only a small hand, grabbed her hand.
Click! As the front door closed, Hayeon sealed her mouth this time at the sight that unfolded. The sunlight pouring through the tall windows in the spacious living room made it look like a cafe.
