Chapter 14 (1/1)

Katherine folded the last clothes on the suitcase, Seolchan was running over the house, playing with Yongguk. She picked all the clothes she bought and some clothes she forgot here years ago, while folding her pajamas she found her bikini. Sighing she folded the clothes, her body has changed so much, she gained weight, her waist is larger and then there's the cesarean scar on her belly. How much passed since the last time she used a bikini? How much time passed since she last used a dress? Surely maternity changed her life, in every way."Are you ready?" Daehyun said from the door."Almost." Katherine threw the bikini beside the suitcase."Hey, Is this your graduation dress?" Daehyun asked, picking the purple dress, Katherine looked at the piece of cloth. "Yeah, it is!" He smiled, roaming his hands over the dress. Katherine went to the wardrobe, picking the rest of her old clothes she left here 6 years ago. "Dae, we need to do our own luggage, come on!" Youngjae called his boyfriend, Daehyun chuckled."Alright, coming." He put the dress in the bed and exited the room, closing the door. Katherine put the box with the old clothes beside the bed, she looked at the bikini and the dress.She zipped her suitcase and threw the bikini and the dress in the garbage bag. ✮✮✢✮✮ Katherine carried her luggage to the car, after closing the trunk, she picked her son and put him in the car."Mommy, can't we stay longer?" Seolchan said with a pout."No, you have to go to school, baby." She buckled her son's seat belt. Katherine closed the door and sat at the passenger seat, beside Yongguk. She would go with him since Soonyoung went with Himchan, Jongup on his own car and Dae and Jae together."Can we go?" Yongguk asked, not sure about Katherine's condition, she was too quiet. "Yeah..." She nodded. Yongguk started the engine, after 30 minutes Seolchan had fell asleep. "You okay?" He asked worried."You want the truth?" She replied, Yongguk nodded. "Not at all, my best friend turned into a bitch, who apparently hates me and Himchan..." She sighed. "He's just...""I'm worried about you, Kate. All this sudden change might scare you a little bit. But anytime, you have me right here, beside you, okay?" Yongguk held her hand."Thank you" Katherine squeezed his hand."Mommy...?" Seolchan said from the back, rubbing his eyes. "You're awake, Seolchan." She smiled."I'm hungry." The boy pouted. Yongguk laughed."You know, he's exactly like you." Katherine slapped his arm. "What? I'm saying the truth alright!" They laughed. "Let's stop at some cafe nearby, I'm also hungry."   They entered the cafe, sat at a small table in the back. An old chubby waitress came with a block note and a pen to get their orders."What will you order?" She asked with a smiled."Huh... Coke and hamburger for me, and... What do you want?" Yongguk asked Seolchan."Pancakes!" The boy chirped happily. "Alright, pancakes then." He said to the waitress. "And you, Kate?""Hm... Hamburger and orange juice." She said handing the menu for the waitress."Alright! 2 hamburgers, pancakes, orange juice and coke! Anything else?" The lady wrote on her note."Nope." Katherine smiled. They watched the lady go to the kitchen."Mommy, look!" Seolchan pointed to the stuffed toy machine. "Oh, should we try?" Katherine asked the little boy, who nodded, she picked him and went to the machine.Katherine inserted a coin in the machine, trying the first time, even with all her effort she didn't won the toy. Yongguk appeared behind them."You have to move it fast." He said. "Here. Let me do it." He picked the control and inserted another coin. Yongguk played and pressed the big red button, as he pressed the button, the stuffed toy fell in the box."Waaah!!" Seolchan chirped and picked the stuffed rabbit. Katherine smiled."Good one, I never knew you were a professional stuffed you catcher" She patted his back.  "Sir, your food arrived." The waitress from earlier said. "Oh, come on. Let's eat!" Yongguk picked Seolchan, and went to the table to eat. ✮✮✢✮✮ Katherine put her documents over the table, writing and marking things. Himchan stayed at his own table, drinking his whiskey and blowing smoke in the air. A knock in the door captured their attentions. "Come in." Himchan stubbed out his cigarette and turned to the door, Katherine looked up."Mr. Kim, the papers you asked for." Mr. Kang said handing a folder to Himchan."Oh, great! Thank you, Mr. Kang." Himchan flipped the pages. Mr. kang bowed and left. Katherine went back to her papers, until the folder fell on her desk, she looked up, founding Himchan."Give it a look."  Katherine smacked her lips and flipped the pages, she furrowed her eyebrows. The pages were filled with photos, not only normal photos, but photos of an apartment, a pretty expensive one she admitted, the walls were paint in pure white with paintings and flowers decorating the living room neatly. There were bedroom and a suite."Are you planing moving in? Isn't your current house expensive enough?" Katherine said playfully."It's not for me. You agreed with me buying you and Seolchan a house." Himchan smiled, Katherine opened her mouth in awe."No. Way. In. Hell" Katherine got up from her seat. "Is it not too expensive? It's just me and Seolch-""If you don't accept it, I will buy one even more expensive." Himchan smirked.Katherine laughed, she hugged Himchan, surprising him. "Thank you. You've done so much for me." "That's what friends do." Himchan let out a sigh, patting Katherine's back.
