"Ben, where are you? Ben! Ben!" So right now, I'm looking for Ben. I don't know here he is. One minute he was on the couch, the next gone.
"Ugh! Ben!"
He can't be upstairs, because I was just up. Maybe he's out on the porch. I shake my head. It can't be, I rarely open that screen door.
I look in the kitchen, no. Under the table, no. How can I loose a child? I walk pass the screen door, to the porch to see it open ajar.
"How?"
I peek my head and I see Ben sitting down. "Ben!" I grab him and hug him.
"That's dangerous!" His small hands wrap around me. "I'm glad you're ok. Now, we have to go to grandpa and grandma. You are so glad you're little and cute, or else I would be yelling at you. But you got the looks from me, so you're off the hook."

"I hope you guys are ready for your comeback. Because tomorrow is the time you guys go perform again." said our dance teacher.
"Nae!"
"Now, let me see you guys go from one." He press the button to our new single.
One, two, three, four and five.
"Foot straight, Namjoo!"
Turn around, three and five.
"Count Naeun! Don't forget three!"
Seven, now back to one step.
"Sharp hit, Chorong!"
lift right leg, one and two and go to line formation...
"Ok, girls you guys were great, but just some few mistakes. Tomorrow is the final practice before the final stage, no mistakes! Break!"
I slump to the ground, where my backpack is. I take my water bottle and drown myself drinking it.
"Guys! We're going to a special dinner tomorrow!"
"Who's buying?" ask Hayoung wiping off the sweat from her forehead.
Chorong smiled, "Exo!"
"So Baekhyun, will be there?" I lower my voice, sighing.
Chorong smile went down, "Oh ya. Mianhae" She pause for a few seconds, "but you can bring Ben to see his dad!"
"Wish it was damn easy." I mumbled, getting up.
"If he has an attitude again, I'll kick him!" added Chorong.
"Black belt mama!" laugh Naeun sitting next to Namjoo.
"And you are getting cozy with Chen!" grin Eunji bumping into me.
I blush, "Ooh! Someone might date again!"
"Hey!"
"But seriously, if Baek is a jerk again. I say go to Chen, he seems interested with you."
Hayoung started to make kissing noises to me.
"Yah!" I grab my water bottle and throw it at her.
"Ahh!" screamed Naeun and Hayoung
"Ladies! Take places!"
"Bomi!" yelled Chorong, throwing the water bottle back to me.
Time to sweat!

When we arrived at the resturant, the boys congratulated us. Because it's our first time together in a long time singing all together.
"I'm going to leave early, so I'll miss dessert."
Everyone looked at me. "What?"
Xiumin, squinted his eyes, "Do you realize, what you just said to us?"
"Uh, ya. Do you?" I gave him a ridiculous look.
"You're missing dessert."
I nod my head, "I know. I just said that."
"You can't miss that." butted in Lay.
"Course I can, I'm doing it today."
"Who cares, it's her stomach. Less money for me to pay." shrug Sehun slurping some noodles.
"Don't be a soar loser, Sehun. Just because you lost, that means you pay. So eat up guys!" smiled Baekhyun.
"He lost at what?" ask Naeun, giving the waitress her empty cup.
Suho laugh, "Rock Paper Scissor."
"How do you loose at that game?" questioned Hayoung, looking at Sehun.
I chuckled while saying, "Hayoung is very competitive lately."
"She push me down the stairs to get the last mochi!" shuddered Eunji.
I laugh along with the others. "She landed on her face too!" added Namjoo.
I pat Eunji's back, in sympathy.
"Oh Shinee will be performing next week as a comeback!"
"Really?" ask Chorong putting seaweed in her mouth.
"You didn't know?" Now you may think the boys would ask that, since they are in the same company as Shinee. But it was actually me, who said that. Everyone look at me, like I was crazy.
"Do you know Eunji?" Ignoring the rest of the on-lookers at this table.
She look at me questioning me, "Ani."
"How come you didn't know?" frown Chen, filling his bowl with soup.
"I'm offended, since Taemin is my best friend." shake Kai.
"Hey! Weren't you and him on WGM?" Lay point his spoon to Naeun, who is looking down.
Namjoo save Naeun from embarrassment, "I love Onew after DOTS!"
"Oh ya! He was in the drama!" thumb up Chanyeol.
"That means Eunji and Key will see each other." I smile at Eunji, frowning playfully at me.
"Wait? How did you know Shinee was doing a comeback?" Sehun look at me suspiciously.
"T.V shows for commercials, the internet since it was big hearing they were doing a comeback." I shrug it off, like I was some natural stalker.
"Oh." nod Sehun, grabbing rice to his bowl.
"And I ship Eunji with Key." I scoop up some soup in my bowl.
"Ay!"
"I don't ship it." mumbled Chanyeol.
I lean closer to the table and folded my arms together while shaking my head slowly, "No matter what, Chanyeol I do not ship you with my Eunji. Key is a better person and I want them together."
"Bomi!" Eunji voice raised up.
"What happen if we were dating right now?" questioned Chanyeol. I look at Eunji, raising my right eyebrow.
"I will hate her, even though it isn't my place to judge." I'm literally looking dead straight at Eunji.
"Bomi, that's-
I cut Chorong off and laugh. "I'm just playing. Jeez." Everyone seem to blow out the steam, built inside of them. Do they know something, that I don't.
"No, but really, I don't ship." I kept a straight face on.
"Oh." Chanyeol look down. That's weird?
I look back at the two stars. "Are you guys dating?"
"A-ani!" shake Eunji.
"Don't lie." She stuttered, that's not normal of her.
"We're not."
"I believe you then." Actually, I think something is fishy around here and its not the fish the waiter brought a few minutes ago. But I shake out the feeling, because I trust Eunji. "Oh before I leave, I need to show you guys something."
"What is it?" Chen look around me, not seeing a present wrap up.
"I'll go get it." I stand up and go to the back. The boys are asking the girls if they know what the present is. Or what I'm about to show, guessing the endless possibilities. I walk to where my aunt is with my boy in the kitchen.
"Gomawo, auntie Dian." I kiss her cheek and she hug me.
"It's fine, now I got to go cook for the costumers." She said a quick bye and put on her chef hat.
"Ok Ben, ready to see your daddy? Along with your uncles and aunties?" I walk to the door, where I just walk in a few seconds ago.
"Ya! Daddy!"
I'm glad he's not nervous, I'm like sweating like crazy here. I walk out and the girl look at me, smiling at my courage right now. I know, this is a hard thing for me to do. Suho turn to his side and smile at me, proudly. D.O wondering why the girls were smiling like a hyena, look at his side since he was sitting at the end.
He drop his mouth open. Ooh the flies are going to come inside if he doesn't close it. I guess now that caught the attention to the rest of the boys, who backs are facing me. As they turn around and look at me, as I walk to them with Ben in my arms.
I stop a couple feet away from them, "Guys, this is my son, Benjamin."
