My Modern Mother's
Celebrating the new year together



"Just put it there, yeah.it's just there." Eun-Kyun directs the deliveryman to place a flower pot in the corner of the room.


"Miss, where should I put this?" ask another colleague. Since there were two people delivering goods to the apartment, each of them carried several flower pots


Eun-Kyun looks towards the corner of the room that has enough sunlight to illuminate the houseplants. "Ohh, just put it there"


The man lifted the medium-sized pot to the window, then placed it there.


Do-Hyun and Min-Hyuk also help, there are several small pots that contain various types of cacti. The two boys brought the pot and put it near the window, on the table and some places.


Min-Hyuk, the boy has been adjusting for a few days with his older sister and niece.


"Miss, our job is done" said the two men


Eun-Kyun smiled, "Thank you for helping."


"What's wrong, this is our job" said one of the men


"Well, this is our job. Don't worry," the others continued


Eun-Kyun goes to her room, then picks up some money, she gives it to two men who deliver the goods she ordered.


After they leave, Min-Hyuk helps his brother move some large pots near the balcony. They cleaned the house, and the others were happy. Since it is winter and snowing now, the plants will wither and die on a snowy day, these flowers had been cared for in the greenhouse before anyone finally ordered these flowers.


Actually, since there are no flowers in the house, Min-Hyuk complains. "The house is very plain, there are no ornamental plants here." that's what he said.


Do-Hyun, the little boy takes a sprinkler and fills it with water. "Eomma, this." he gave it to Eun-Kyun


"Thank you," Eun-Kyun said as she rubbed Do-Hyun's head for a moment.


Min-Hyuk opens a sack of organic fertilizer that was also purchased, the teenager helps Eun-Kyun deliver fertilizer into a flower pot.


This is just their simple activity to fill free time, after all their lives are quiet behind this.


It's been a week since the day Mr. Park and Woon-Hoo's sudden death came.


And the new year is also coming, today is the end of 2020 and will soon enter 2021.


Usually, one would return to the family home and meet with his fathers to celebrate the new year together. The children would greet the older people, especially the grandchildren to his nephew.


But because it has been a year Corona Virus hit the earth, many people complain. They can't go back to their parents' homes and celebrate the new year together


"Tomorrow, let's go see Dad" Eun-Kyun said suddenly as they played a puzzle toy.


Min-Hyuk smiles, "Come." however, his tone sounds beak. There is sadness in it


If he would normally celebrate the new year with his father, this year was very different. Father is gone, and he must continue his life in peace. In her heart, Min-Hyuk is very grateful for having an older sister like Eun-Kyun who is willing to take care of her and treat her very well.

Jun-Hee, on a late afternoon, the man arrives at the apartment with a bag of alkaline cakes. Do-Hyun is thrilled, the boy spends two pieces of the black forest cake as well as Min-Hyuk.


"It's late afternoon, what do you want to cook?" jun-hee asks to follow Eun-Kyun into the kitchen and let the two boys eat the cake in the living room.


Taking the opportunity of not being seen by the two boys, Jun-Hee hugs Eun-Kyun from behind and wants to make out there


"What if they see it?" said the young mother with a shy face


"Why? ..You shy?" goda Jun-Hee kissing the nape of his future wife.


"Don't be like this, the kids shouldn't see it." Eun-Kyun's eyes watched, lest the two boys see it.


Especially Min-Hyuk, the boy is in puberty and his emotions are not being controlled properly.


Min-Hyuk can be embarrassed just by looking at the two of them making out, unlike Do-Hyun who doesn't know anything about the adult world.


"So, what should I do for you?" jun-hee asks who let go of her hug seeing Min-Hyuk's suddenly flat gaze when he sees her making out with Eun-Kyun.


What did the teenager think? Wasn't I very nice to her?. Think Jun-Hee


Min-Hyuk on the other hand, 'Can't you guys make out in the room or somewhere else and not be seen by the two of us? .. Please, there's singles here' :-!(╥_╥)


"Let's help me get the beef out of the fridge" said Eun-Kyun, who started blenders and other condiments.


"What do you want to cook for tonight?" Jun-Hee rushes to the refrigerator, then takes out a bundle of beef that only contains her muscles.


"Bakso... Don't ask me too many questions and help me" Eun-Kyun said.


Jun-Hee helps Eun-Kyun cook. Because she knew, if this single mother started cooking from the afternoon then, the food must have a long process.


Eun-Kyun refined the beef with a blender, then there was tapioca flour added, pepper, garlic, and other ingredients to make meatballs.


All these processes, assisted by Jun-Hee. The two cook together.


In the evening, two twin brothers come to Eun-Kyun's apartment. They had dinner together as a family.


Since the twin brothers, Dong-Min and Gong-Min cannot return to their hometown, they join the family. Than to celebrate the end of the year alone?


Jun-Hee, during this time she is celebrating the end of the year on her own or is going to go to her father's house and celebrate her with both people. But now, since Eun-Kyun has returned, Jun-Hee naturally chooses to celebrate with Eun-Kyun alone. Because if he returns to his father's house, then he must see the face of the annoying stepmother coupled with her nephew who is always paired with her.


Everyone plays games together, making the atmosphere festive in the living room.


When the time was 11:40, they opened the balcony door and prepared fireworks and firecrackers.


Children should only play flowers that are harmless to them, this is especially for Do-Hyun and Min-Hyuk.


as for Dong-Min and Gong-Min, they burned firecrackers which were then directed to the sky so that the fireworks would light up in the air


With a countdown, firecrackers had been burned and fireworks shot into the sky then 'Duarr!' the sky is colored with beautiful bright colors


"The Happy New Year!" just this word sounded, everyone was rejoicing at the turn of the year
