Tae and I nodded slightly, keeping our eyes on Channi.

"Well, he used to take care of Hyeolmoni back in Seoul."

She continued, "But now there's no one to take care of her and she can't take care of herself alone."

Channi paused and I looked away.

"So, we have to move back there to take care of her." Channi finished with a sigh.

I looked up from my mini snowman I had just finished making.

"Sure." I replied quietly.

Tae jumped up.

He muttered, "I have to go do something, I'm not coming."

Channi looked worried as we watched Tae stomp away.
