Us

Chapter 22

Jongin did not talk, it was awfully silent, the kids fell asleep that made it harder for me and more awkward for us. I tried closing my eyes and leaning on the window, but I still can't sleep.

I opened my eyes when I felt that the car had stopped. "Why are we stopping?" I asked.

"Its already 12 and we need to eat lunch" he said, but the way he said it, its kinda cold.

"Ria, Kaleb ireona palli" I woke up the kids.

The kids woke up immediately and went out of the car.

There were many people inside the restaurant, Jongin asked for a private room thankfully they have one.

I was quite relieved by it however the kids didn't like it.

"Mommy why do we have to eat here? I want to eat together with those people outside" Kal complained. Kaleb is not really the type of kid who complains, however when he complains I usually or more like mostly give in to him. But giving in to him now would put our safety and privacy at risk.

"Because it is too crowded baby, and besides don't you like it here? Its just us four right Kaleb appa?" I said and squint my eyes at Jongin.

"Ne, your eomma is right adeul. How about we play games while we wait for the food?" Jongin suggested and Kal nodded reluctantly meanwhile Ria is just quite and just played on her ipad.

I got my phone and quickly scanned for any emails or updates about the hospital. "Mommy stop working" Kal said whose eyes are fixed on playing with his dad.

I put my down my phone and looked at Ria "Ria why don't you join your brother and daddy?" I ask

"Ani, I'm not in the mood to play mom. What I want is to take pictures. On 3 smile Appa and Kaleb" Ria pointed her ipad at her dad and brother and took pictures of them.

"Wait a minute, now its time for the three of you to post on my phone. On the count of three say merry christmas!" I took numerous photo of them 3.

"Jen sit here and I'll take photos of you and the kids" I quickly got up and handed my phone to Jongin.

He took photo of us with my phone and with his phone. "Jongin could you do a selfie so that we're seen together or set up a timer" I said. This would be our first photo together. Just us four.

"I'll just set up a timer" Jongin set up a timer and quickly sat beside me.

We took numerous pictures together until the food arrive.

After eating Jongin's phone rang and he looked at me asking my permission if he should answer it. I nodded at him.

"Merry Christmas hyung, Irene noona, Jiho and Jihoonie" I mouth him asking if that is Irene noona and he nodded at him.

Upon hearing Jiho and Jihoon's voices, Kaleb and Ria immediately went to their Dad and greeted the boys.

"Jiho-ya, Jihoonie Merry Christmas!" Said the twins.

Crap.

"Is that Kaleb and Ria Jongin?" It was unnie's voice. Evidently shock I must say.

"Ne noona, someone wants to greet you all also" I mouth Jongin no but he handed me his phone already.

"Annyeong Junmyeon oppa Irene unnie, Jiho and Jihoonie merry christmas to all of you there" The Kim's were shocked or more liked Junmyeon and Irene unnie.

Jiho and Jihoon greeted me back and after awhile oppa also greeted me unnie also did the same.

The kids are now busy playing with their ipads and here we are being bombarded with questions by Mr and Mrs Kim.
