My adidas stomp against the wooden stairs, as I make my way up. I stop at the door in front of me. Should I go in or not? Of course I should! But I'm scared. How will he react? I put the key in and unlock the door. I quietly walk in and saw him on the ground.

"Benjamin." I finally muster my voice to talk.

He look at me and smile. Oh my gosh! He ran to my arms.

"I miss you!" Tears flow down my face as I saw my little boy.

"Ma!"

I hug him so tight, scared he will disapear in my arms.

"I'm home. I'm home." I stood up and Emily hug me.

"I miss you Bomi!"

"Same!"

"Thank you so much, Ems. I don't know how to repay you."

"You don't. I mean you help me with my exams."

"Not the best help, though." I thought back to me trying to help her. But my english wasn't good back then.

"Well, tried to help."

"Yes."

"Are you really leaving?"

"I love New York, Ems. But my family is at South Korea, and I can't let go."

"Visit!"

"I will. Wheres his paperworks and luggage?"

"I'll get it."

I crouch down to Ben, "We're going to my home. You'll love it there."

He grin at me giving his shoes, so I could put it on him.

"Here it is, all his forms in in this folder and just give it to them."

"Thank you Emily."

"No problem girl."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Tears fell on her face and soon I am crying again.

"Dang it"

"You got to go, so you won't be late for your flight."

"Bye."

"Bye Benny!" Ben kiss her on the cheek. Such a womanizer at a young age, like his father.

"Come on" I carried him with the luggage at hand. And gave Emily one last look and left. My new home is so special to me, but being at my homeland is a million times better.

"Ok, Ben. Ready to go meet your aunts?"

"Ya!"

"Such a cutie," I ruffle his black hair. "All we got to do is go to this door. Knock."

Ben knock on the door and we waited.

"Louder, hun."

He knock again, but no answer.

"AH!"

Ben knock again and this time someone answered.

"An-"

"OH MY GOSH! HE'S SO CUTE!" Yell Hayoung carrying Ben.

"What- Omo!"

I walk in and Ben reach for me and I carried him to the couch.

"Go Ben."

Be walk in front of the gushing girls and bow to hem.

"Well done, Bomi-ah."

"Gomawo. But where's Chorong?"

"Date."

"Hi."

"Woah, he looks like Baekhyun. His hair, nose-"

"His personality, too!" I exclaim to them.

"Is he better now?"

"His signs are showing improvement and slowly, his tumor is decreasing."

"Ah."

We hear the door open, "Come in Suho, I have the medicine for Kai."

SUHO!?

They walk in and they are both shock to see a little boy. No one made a move, nor say anything.

Ben walk to the couple and bow to them. I smile, so adorable.

Chorong bend down, "Annyong," in her baby voice.

"Hi!"

"Mah? He speaks english?" exclaim Chorong.

I stood up, "That's because he was born there, he's my son."

"MAE!?" Exclaim Suho and Chorong.

"Nae."

"Hi." said Suho, who got back from his daze.

"He's baek's kid?"

I nod at him, "Then he's my nephew."

"Annyong, I'm your uncle Suho." 

Ben just look at him and ran to Eunji.

"I guess your first impression was not good." Laugh Namjoo playing with Ben, who is in Eunji's arm.

"Are you going to tell Baekhyun?"

"Nae. But you can't tell him or the others. I want to be the one."

"Ok."

Suho walk to Ben, "I'm going to go, bye Ben. I'll be back." Ben smiled at him and Suho stood up and kissed Chorong.

"Here's the medicine." 

"Gomawo." Suho left the house and I sign. One down 8 more.

"He's such a cutie." Exclaim Hayoung playing with him.

"How was the plane ride?" Ask Chorong sitting down next to me.

"Ok, he didn't cry as much as I thought."

"That's good."

Naeun look at me, curiously, "Wait? I thought you were going to stay at the states?"

"Manager-nim talk me out of it. I didn't want to leave you guys. And my family is here, so staying here is what I want."

"Does your parents know?"

"Ya, I told them when I was pregnant and they visited. This morning I went to them and told them I was going to stay here."

"That's so good news. I mean our funny bomi is back!" Laugh Namjoo turning on the tv to a kid show.

"How about the reporters?" Questioned Chorong playing with the teddy bear in her hands.

"I have no clue. I want it to be a secret, yet it feels so wrong to."

"Whatever it is, we'll be there with you." 

Eunji sat next to me and hug me. Chorong lean her head on me and Ben ran to my arms. I'm glad I'm with my family. Tomorrow is going to be an hectic day. Damn it.
