Loving Yourself

Mother Child Three

The three of them broke out in tears. Ha Jae knew it was a cry of hope for both of them. Ha Jae got up from his seat, approaching Yuri, Nami and Haneul who were sitting in front of him.

Ha Jae sat between the three of them, holding tightly to their hands. He told me how he could have a beautiful and white child as Haneul. Knowing the reality of what makes Yuri and Nami curious. They both cried in Ha Jae's arms.

"Promise to Mom. That you will only cry happily" Ha Jae told his 3 daughters.

"Yes" said Haneul.

"Now we eat together. The pizza's coming" said Ha Jae.

Ha Jae stood back to his seat. Received 5 boxes of Pizza that he ordered online. They also eat together happily. There is no more confusion between them. Except for the laughing joke that filled the atmosphere at that moment.

"Mama wants to go to Indonesia for a few weeks. You take good care of yourself, okay," Ha Jae told Haneul. "You must take care of these two sodas,"

Ha Jar glanced at Yuri and Nami with a sweet smile.

"Mama doesn't know, right? Nami always takes care of me. Yuri plays her mother" said Haneul.

"And you?" ask Ha Jae to tease.

"I became her little daughter" said Haneul, throwing a spoiled smile.

"And you are like mothers. Always angry, it's wrong it's wrong" Yuri chirped.

"I just said what Mama said. That we can't sleep at night, can't lie, can't litter. Should do PR before bed, or should study. Wake up early, drink lots of water, diligently save," explained Haneul.

"I also know about it, but it doesn't need to be emphasized every day" Yuri protested.

"Say you're lazy" cried Haneul.

"No! nope. Brisik tauk," replied Yuri.

"Hehhh. Why are you fighting," Ha Jae sidelines. "Haneul is not wrong, neither is Yuri wrong. Haneul just wants to share the good in our daily lives. As for Yuri, just wanted to enjoy her rest period a little calmer. Haneul is too chatty and Yuri is too fussy" Ha Jae said glancing at the two of them.

Haneul and Yuri looked at each other until they finally laughed together. They can accept each other's flaws. As for Nami, just sitting quietly in front of Ha Jad. He occasionally threw a smile as if so that others did not know that something was bothering his mind.

By noon, Ha Jae said goodbye to his three daughters. Hope they'll be okay in the dorm. Ha Jae knows, making them brothers does not mean they are separated from each other's conflicts. But Ha Jae is convinced, with them being brothers. They are able to care for and love each other.

"Mama go home first. Mama try it later if you come back from Indonesia, Mama will visit here for you," said Ha Jae. "Don't forget to study hard. Take care of each other,"

Ha Jae gently kissed her three daughters forehead.

"One more. You can't date if you haven't been to college. Understand!!" tell Ha Jae to the three of them.

"Ready Mama" said Haneul.

"Yes, Ma" said Yuri.

"Come in, you'll be in for a lesson soon" said Ha Jae.

"Okay, Daa Ma" cried Haneul and Yuri.

Haneul and Yuri joined together to rush into the dormitory. Nami remained silent from her seat. Ha Jar knew what was troubling him so much that he remained silent before him.

"Nami? What's up?!" ask Ha Jae.

Nami was aghast from her daydream. "Huh?"

"You don't like it?!" ask Ha Jae to be curious. "So my son?!"

"Him!" nami shook her head.

"Then??" ask Ha Jae.

Nami looked down with doubt.

"I don't know" said Ha Jae. "I just saw Haneul in you,"

Ha Jae tried to look at Nami's face which was almost invisible.

"You must think Haneul is luckier than you, right? Though actually not," Ha Jae explained to Nami.

"He?!" Nami was surprised by Ha Jae's words.

"You only know Haneul in the dorm, right?! Long before that, you were luckier than him. I hugged Haneul because he was a part of my life, he was my son" Ha Jae explained. "Haneul is like me. And I don't want Haneul like me. So are you and Yuri. Don't let you guys be like me,"

Ha Jae looked at Nami deeply. He occasionally threw a smile at the plain face of Nami who was confused.

"Listen to me," Ha Jae held Nami's hand looking into her round, glassy eyes.

"Be happy, live. You deserve that" said Ha Jae.

There were no tears streaming down Ha Jae's cheeks just like that.

"No matter who you are. You are Mama's children. Even though Mama didn't adopt you. You're still Mama's children. So please, live and be happy. To Mama," said Ha Jae. "Maybe you don't understand this time. Because it's not time you understood living that far. Now all that matters to you is to learn. Pursue your ideals. Mama will always support you,"

The silent Nami did not take her eyes off Ha Jae.

"Once, go. Yuri and Haneul are waiting for you" Ha Jae said, looking back at Yuri and Haneul, who were looking for Nami.

"Mommy!!" yuri shouted from a distance.

Nami hurried up from her seat.

"Nami. Don't date okay. Bye-dak bo-leh!" tell Ha Jae to nami.

"Yes. Ma-ma," said Nami smiling at Ha Jae.

Nami runs over to Yuri and Haneul. The three of them waved their hands towards Ha Jae.

"Mama bay bay," they exclaimed before going into the dormitory.

"Huffa"

Ha Jae sighed letting go of it. Looking up into the blue sky. What he has decided. Ha Jae just feels like they have to live happily. Because he also wants to live happily like everyone else.

"It turns out I'm old, yeah. My son is three now. I'll give you the best" Ha Jae murmured inwardly.

Ha Jae hurried away from the place. Arriving where she parked her montor, Ha Jae remembered something.

Ha Jae reached into his phone and tried to contact someone.
