It's been 7 years since I set foot in Korea.

Never thought I would be back.

Grabbing my luggage and my son's hand we walk to the exit where my friend Jin is waiting for us.

We met in NY when I was going to college and was very pregnant.

He is so motherly, He was always making sure I would eat and rest.

He's been nothing but a great friend to me and an amazing uncle to Alex.

Walking out I hear "Jagiya~,Jagiya~"

Knowing exactly who that is I start to walk away.

But Alex lets go of my hand and says "Samchon!!!".

I turn to see their dramatic reunion.

"Oh, my baby!! Uncle has missed you so much!!!" Jin Oppa says as he kisses Alex.

Jin walks toward me and gives me a hug and then smacks my arm "YAH! why are you running away from me?"

Rubbing my arm I say "Oppa you are so embarrassing and seriously 'Jagiya?' why don't you call your boyfriend that" Taking my luggage we start to walk away.

"He is not my boyfriend, YET! but once he is I will definitely be calling him that" he says with a wink.

This Oppa, I don't know what to do with him.

Once we are in Jin's car he says.

"I already got your place ready!. It looks a lot like your place back in New York but better. We will be living in my building by the way"

I look at him "Oppa! you own a building?" I ask a bit shocked.

I mean I know he is loaded but I didn't know about the building.

DAMN!

He just laughs.

"Well since my best friend helped me make so much money, I thought why not own a building, Thank you Chinguuu~~~"

I just laugh at him.

"Yeah Lucky for you your best friend is a Wall Street Executive, Your welcome Chinguu~~," I say mimicking him.

"Anyways You live on the floor below mine but the apartment is very big. Your clothes and things have been organized and your room has been all decorated" He says with a proud smile on his face.

"Umm... Oppa I am only here for a few months, Why go thru all the work?" I ask.

"Baby girl... I think you should think about staying here."

GAH!, Here we go again.

"Oppa we have talked about this! The only reason I ever set foot here again was as a favor for you. Nothing more nothing less" He signs knowing the conversation won't go anywhere.

"Just think about it, okay?". he pleads but I just don't bother answering.

Being back here has me feeling a bit anxious.

Inside our new apartment, Jin shows us around.

Alex is super excited about his new bed and playroom.

I swear Jin overdid it. And I think he did this so that we would stay,

But since Alex is happy Jin Oppa is on cloud nine.

Who am I to ruin their fun.

"So what are you doing tomorrow?" Asks Oppa.

"Umm... Maybe renting a car, you know to get around." I say.

"Don't just keep my blue car, it has the car seat already. I'll use my other car" He says.

"Are you sure?" I give him a look.

"Yeah, I'm sure, since you are not doing anything how about we go out and explore tomorrow?" Alex runs in and jumps on Jin.

"Yaaay!!! can we go explore mama?" He is too damn cute.

"Yeah, why not!" I say.

"Yaaayy!!! screams Alex and Jin Oppa joins in.

"Okay, Okay. Tomorrow we have a busy day. Alex get ready for bed and give uncle Jin a kiss" He does as told.

Jin gets up and gives me a hug. "I'm glad you are here, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight".

I wave ."Night Oppa"
