“Have you two made up yet?” Jiyong asked Taeyeon with a yawn while they packed their things for their weekend trip

 

“Yes, thankfully, but I have yet to explain to her about us... It’s hard not being able to talk to Tiff because I’m used to always being close to her or her always clinging to me.” She answered as she put more clothes for Jiyeon and herself to her bag

 

“Yeah, I heard that you two even had a fan club, what was its name again?” he paused trying to remember the fan club

 

“Oh that. They call themselves “Locksmiths” haha they’re cute actually, shipping me and Fany-ah. Do you know they always give us Jellies and Red Bull even when we’re in other countries!” she proudly said as she finished packing up their clothes “Need help packing your bag?” she asked her husband as she saw him having a hard time fitting everything in

 

Jiyong sheepishly thanked her as he carried most of their bags to the car they rented just for the trip. They couldn’t risk taking their own cars, even their secret cars because some people in their company knew about them.

 

“Now all that’s left is to cook food for our trip, then we’re all set.” Taeyeon happily said as they entered the kitchen

 

“I told you that we could just eat from restaurants that we pass over or we can get take outs so that you won’t have to cook” Jiyong called out while he helped his wife prepare the ingredients that they bought the day before

 

“Well we would risk revealing ourselves that way and I want to cook for our trip to make up for the last one.” She replied remembering the last outing that Jiyong and Jiyeon went to without her because she was busy. “Oppa would you mind waking Jiyeon up, I’ll prepare our breakfast first before our packed meal”

 

“Sure. I’ll also bring down some toys for her so that she won’t get bored on the trip.” he said from the stairs as he went to get their daughter

 

“Jiyeon-ah… Jiyeon-ah wake up. Jiyeon-ah eomma is making pancakes come on. Don’t you want to go on our trip?” Jiyong whispered to their daughter who was still snuggling with her stuffed bear

 

“…..want to~~ can I sleep more appa?” she said with a yawn as she snuggled closer to her bear

 

“But eomma is making pancakes. Don’t you love pancakes? Appa will let you pour as much syrup as you want….” He said enticingly

 

“Really appa? Chocolate syrup?” she answered cutely as she rubbed her eyes and raised her arms to be carried

 

“Really. Doesn’t Jiyeon believe appa?” he asked as he carried her from the bed

 

“Jiyeon believes appa, but eomma will scold appa if you let Jiyeon eat too much chocolate….” said the girl who wrapped her arms sleepily around Jiyong’s neck

 

“Don’t worry she’ll let us both off today. We’re going on a trip! Aren’t you excited?” he asked acting more excited than his daughter who shook her head and nuzzled closer saying “…no…I’m sleepy…”

 

 

 

“Eomma our little princess is still sleepy what do we do?” Jiyong asked Taeyeon as soon as he stepped into the dining room carrying Jiyeon

 

“Aigoo….and eomma even prepared her favorite pancakes with lots and lots of chocolate syrup….. should we just eat it appa?” Taeyeon replied as she stepped closer to Jiyong and Jiyeon who was obviously listening “…….or should we just…….tickle her awake!!!!” Taeyeon said her final words just as they both started tickling their daughter who was loudly giggling between them

 

“Eomma!! Appa!! Sstop! Sstop!” she whined while laughing

 

“Oh appa looks like our princess has woken up! Is she ready to eat her breakfast now?” Taeyeon asked her husband while addressing their daughter at the same time

 

“Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes! I’ll eat eomma! I’ll eat!” she chanted happily ah she looked at her pancakes covered in sweet and sticky, chocolate syrup

 

And so Taeyeon and Jiyong ate their breakfast while they smilingly watched their daughter eat her pancakes not caring about the mess she was making for the time being as they promised that they would spend this day without any stress.

 

Then from out of nowhere Jiyeon asked her father “appa why am I your “little princess””

 

“Wae? Don’t you like it when appa calls you princess?” he asked curiously

 

“No I like it. But why princess? Is appa a king? The books eomma reads to me say that a princess is the daughter of the King” she asked innocently

 

“Ani, appa is not a king Jiyeonnie, but since your eomma is appa’s queen then that makes you our little princess” his answer to their daughter’s question made Taeyeon’s face warm so she immediately stood up from the table claiming that she’ll get some water despite of the fact that the pitcher of water that she prepared beforehand was sitting in front of her.

 

 

“Taeyeon-ah you can leave the dishes in the sink; I’ll wash them while you bathe Jiyeonnie” Jiyong volunteered as he helped his wife clean up

 

“Are you sure oppa?” she asked doubtfully remembering the last time that Jiyong volunteered to wash the dishes “we won’t have time to buy more plates if you break them again”

 

“Yah! I already said I was sorry about that. That’s why I said to buy a dishwasher... Don’t worry I won’t break anymore plates” he told her while inside his mind he thought about the time in their dorm that he practiced washing plates, washing and rewashing them, just so that he wouldn’t break those in their house

“And I already told you that getting one is just a waste of money. We can save up more for when Jiyeon goes to school. Education is expensive nowadays you know” she explained as she carried their daughter to their room

 

“Oh right and we also got to save up for Kwon Jiho as well……” he agreed

 

“Did you say anything oppa?” she shouted from the stairs

 

“A-aniyo! Nothing! I was just talking to myself. Hurry up!” he said flustered pabo Kwon Jiyong what if she heard you?

 

“Ok be careful with the dishes!” she shouted back

 

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Hey are you sure it’s okay for us to go out like this? Aren’t you busy with promotions?” Jiyong asked concerned as they finally started their journey

 

“I told you, It’s okay. They gave me a few days’ rest before I go back as a reward for the success of my songs. Also I wanted to go because I’d be busy for a few weeks and here may be times when I can’t go home, especially since our anniversary is coming up. How about you? Don’t you have to prepare or write songs for your group?” she answered

 

“Me? Nah, I also took a few days off, I’ve already written enough songs for our new groups to keep our staff busy, so I’m good. But how come, according to Seungri, the other girls are not given rest days, only you?” He asked as he drove humming to the song on the radio

 

“Well I already finished recording all of my parts and he rest of my schedule and let’s just say that I know enough about SM that they’ll let me off with a few days when I want to.” She answered without much of an explanation which Jiyong knew well not to ask about

 

 

 

“Jiyeon-ah are you okay back there?” Taeyeon turned to ask their daughter who was busy playing with the toys that Jiyong brought with them

 

“Neh eomma!!” she answered only glancing at her mother before focusing on her toys again. It was good thinking in Jiyong’s part to think of bringing toys or else they’d have to entertain their daughter the whole trip until they reach their destination

 

“Aren’t you going to praise me?” he suddenly inquired

 

“Wae?” Taeyeon asked blankly making her husband pout

 

“Because It was my idea to bring the toys” he sulked

 

“Hmm... but if you didn’t take them then I would have taken them myself or Jiyeon would have asked for them before we left” she said teasing her husband who pouted even more

 

*Pffftt* “Hahahahahaha oppa don’t pout! It doesn’t suit you!!” she laughed giving out her famous ajhumma laugh that made Jiyong laugh with her even though he was supposed to be sulking then Taeyeon turned to look at Jiyeon who was also laughing behind them

 

“Eomma your laugh is funny!!” she said cutely as she laughed even more this time with both her parents laughing with her and just like that their road trip went off to a good start.

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Eomma! Eomma look! The birds are swimming!!” Jiyeon shouted as she ran back to her mother who was preparing their lunch on the mat that they brought with them

 

“They’re not swimming baby the birds are fishing!” Taeyeon called back when she saw what their daughter was pointing to “Where’s your appa Jiyeonnie?”

 

“Eomma, appa is building a castle, he told me that he’s making one big enough for us to live in. Can we live in appa’s castle eomma?” Jiyeon innocently asked while pointing to her appa who really was making a castle

 

“But it’s made of sand baby. If we live there the water can wash over our castle or the wind can blow all the sand away” Taeyeon answered smiling

 

“Hmmmm… but shouldn’t we be living in a castle?” Jiyeon asked confusing Taeyeon

 

“A castle? Wae?” she asked her daughter who was playing with the sand next to their picnic blanket

 

“Because appa said the you were her queen and I am your princess. That means appa is a king. Shouldn’t Kings and Queens and Princesses live in a castle?” Jiyeon answered while still busy playing

 

“silly. Then why don’t you ask appa to build a real castle for us instead of a sand castle? So that we can live there like “kings and queens and princesses” and then your Aunts and Uncles can visit our castle or if it’s big enough they can even get rooms there when they stay over” Taeyeon said humoring her daughter’s dream of living in a castle

 

“Yes Eomma! And Aunt Jessi and Aunt Krys can stay with us if they like and we can have a Kwon Jiho who will have a room next to mine! I’ll tell appa!!” Jiyeon exclaimed excitedly as she stood up to run to her father while leaving her mother surprised at what she said

 

Aigoo what will we do with this girl…. She’s still asking for a little brother……. Taeyeon thought as she stared at her daughter who was animatedly telling Jiyong about the castle that she wanted

 

 

 

“Taeyeon-ah has Jiyeon told you about the castle?” Jiyong asked as he and Taeyeon walked side by side following their daughter who was looking for sea shells to take home

 

“Haha yeah. Do you know that she even wanted to have rooms for Jessica and Krystal and Kwon…… ummm… Hey Jiyeon-ah don’t go too far from us!!!” Taeyeon shouted cutting off her words before Jiyong even realized what she was saying That was close I almost said Kwon Jiho….

 

“Neh eomma!!” Jiyeon said as she ran back to her parents “Appa can we swim? I want to play in the water!!” she said pulling her appa towards the water

 

“Appa will carry you Jiyeonnie! Appa will be your human floater!” Jiyong said as he carried their daughter and rushed to the water to meet the waves both of them laughing in glee

 

“Eomma! You swim too!!!” Jiyeon called out to Taeyeon who was taking pictures with her phone

 

“I’ll just return my things back to our room then I’ll come back. You two enjoy you swim!!” she called back as she took their basket and their bag to the room they rented at the private resort that Jiyong’s friend owned

 

“Can you manage all of them?! I can bring them back if you want!” Jiyong shouted at Taeyeon’s retreating form but she only answered with a wave as she continued back to the resort

 

 

“Appa swim!! Swim!” Jiyeon ordered once her eomma was out of sight

 

“Your wish is my command, my princess” Jiyong replied with a silly little bow that brought Jiyeon’s body except her face under water making her giggle in surprise  

 

“One more appa! Again! Again! Again!!” she exclaimed giggling uncontrollably to which Jiyong immediately did much to her pleasure

 

“Oh appa! Eomma’s here!!!! Eomma!! Hurry!!!!” she called out seeing her mother walking back to them

 

 

“Coming!!!!” Taeyeon replied as she ran to them like an excited kid “It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the beach”

 

“Haha me too. The guys and I went to the each for a shoot once but we had another schedule so we weren’t even allowed to play” Jiyong said as he reached out to Taeyeon to pull her closer to them

“The last time we, by we I mean the girls and I, were on the beach together was when we shot for the music video of “Party” we were able to play around a bit but the shoot was tiring so we couldn’t swim, only Yuri dared to for a few minutes before we were called back.” Taeyeon replied as she took Jiyeon form Jiyong “Are you having fun Jiyeonnie?” she asked

 

“Neh eomma! I love the water!! Appa can you teach me how to swim? Pleeeease I want to swim like a fish!!” Jiyeon pleaded struggling out of her mother’s arms

 

“Not yet Jiyeonnie, maybe when you’re aa little bigger. For now, will you be satisfied if appa swims with you? You can climb on my back if you want” said Jiyong trying to dissuade Jiyeon who can barely reach the sand under their feet

 

“……Can eomma come too? Can eomma ride on appa’s back as well?” Jiyeon asked as she finally stopped trying to swim on her own

 

“Eomma will swim beside appa baby, appa will sink if eomma rides as well” Taeyeon explained as she helped her daughter grab on to Jiyong’s neck

 

“Eomma will swim as well?” she asked as they started to move slowly, Jiyong and Taeyeon not really swimming more like wading in the water, taking care not to dislodge Jiyeon from her position

 

“Neh. See we’re like the whale family we saw on TV last week do you remember?” Taeyeon asked as she swam a little around Jiyong and Jiyeon

 

“But the baby whale swam with the mama and papa whale…. I can’t swim” Jiyeon answered sadly

 

“Jiyeonnie, they were whales remember, the baby was born able to swim. You, however, are our princess, and princesses should never tire themselves out unless the king and queen said so. Arraseo?” Jiyong told her as he lent a hand to his wife who was obviously running out of answers for their daughter

 

“Oh okay….. Can you swim faster appa?”  she asked although she didn’t really understand what her appa was explaining much to her parent’s amusement.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

The initial plan was that they would stay there for 3 days and 2 nights but because the 2^nd day would be the 5^th of August they had to adjust since the girls were planning to have a reunion dinner to celebrate r their 9^th anniversary as Girl’s Generation. Taeyeon couldn’t say no because it was the first time in two years that they get to celebrate with Jessica. And since not all of the girls knew about Jiyeon and Jiyong she couldn’t tell them the truth about why she was skipping the party, good thing that their daughter understood why their vacation was shortened.

 

“Eomma where’s appa?” Jiyeon asked as she and her mother strolled around the resort’s mini aviary

 

“I don’t know baby. He said that he just had to make some phone calls since we rescheduled our trip back so he had to cancel some reservations he booked” Taeyeon explained as she bent down to carry Jiyeon

 

“…..do we really have to go home tomorrow eomma?...” Jiyeon asked sadly

 

“Yes Jiyeonnie, eomma’s sorry to cut our vacation short. Next time I promise Eomma and Appa will try to get 1 week vacations just for you.” She replied trying to cheer her daughter up

 

“Really? Then next time can Ginger come? I think he’s sad that he couldn’t go….. he was barking when we left him at Aunt Jessi’s house” the little girl asked her mother hopefully. Although they haven’t been together long Jiyeon and Ginger had already formed a bond and the dog no sees Jiyong and Jiyeon as family.

 

“Sure why not. I’m sure he’ll love being able to run around the grass… maybe by that time we can spend time at eomma’s home town. You’ll love it there Jiyeonnie…..but that’ll have to wait because your Grandma and Grandpa Kim still don’t know about you and your appa.” Taeyeon said longingly feeling somewhat homesick and missing her own parents who she hasn’t visited for some time

 

“Will they like me eomma? What are they like? How about your siblings? Do they look like eomma too?” the girl asked excitedly. She always liked hearing about her parents own families because they look so happy when they tell her stories about their homes

 

“Don’t worry Jiyeon-ah, of course they’ll like you, you’re my daughter. Grandpa and Grandma are nice and grandma is a great cook! As for my oppa and my donsaeng, you will like them as well, they are fond of kids and a lot of people say that the three of us look alike” Taeyeon said smilingly but in her mind it was not Jiyeon being accepted that she was worrying about but Jiyong and his reputation that had surely already reached her family what if they don’t like him or what if they force us to separate... what will I do…

 

They finished their tour around the aviary and they even visited the resort’s large pond full of fishes of different colors but Jiyong was still nowhere in sight. Taeyeon tried calling his phone but it was turned off so they decided to walk by the beach back to the restaurant where they originally planned to have their dinner.

 

As soon as they walked in music filled the speakers and a projector screen at the center flashing picture after picture of the whole time they spent as a family. Jiyong carrying Jiyeon for the first time. Taeyeon walking towards the dining table carrying a plate of fresh cookies. Jiyeon’s messy face as she ate a big slice of watermelon. Their pictures from the house, the park, the amusement park, and even from the mall as they wore their disguises. Jiyeon holding a baby rabbit. Taeyeon and Jiyeon holding Ginger. There were even pictures of them with Jessica and Krystal as Jiyeon tried dress after dress that were all piled on a corner of the room. The picture of Jiyong and Jiyeon with little Kwon Jiho was also included. There were also different shots of when they tried on the countless family shirt sets that Jiyong bought. Pictures, lots and lots of them all carrying happy memories of the Kwons as a family.

 

“I know I’m a day early but we couldn’t help it because August 5 is such an important date for your group as well so…. happy 100 days Taeyeon-ah. Thank you for always doing your best to take care of us. And of course to our princess as well, for the 100 days that the three of us had been a family” Jiyong said as he quietly came in from behind them carrying a big bouquet of purple tulips and a small bundle of chocolate flowers

 

“Appa!!!!!” Jiyeon shouted as she jumped down from Taeyeon’s arms to run to her father “Chocolates for Jiyeonnie???!!” she happily asked as she took them from him

 

“Neh baby. Chocolates for Jiyeonnie” he answered hugging his daughter tightly before he turned to look at his wife who was silently tearing up as she looked at him

 

“Yah why are you crying. Aren’t you going to tell me that I have no originality? I repeated what I’ve done for our 22 day with the pictures and the flowers but since I’m not really used to these kinds of things I just added some…..” he broke off from his explanation when Taeyeon suddenly hugged him so he had to adjust his hold on Jiyeon to hug her back laughing slightly in surprise as she sobbed on his shirt

“Taeyeon-ah if you cry whenever I do this kinds of events then should I stop with them entirely? I did say that I would try my best not to make you cry. And I think your sisters would beat me up if they know that I made you cry, not to mention your family when we tell them about us.” He said teasingly but Taeyeon still refused to stop

 

“Oppa…… *sob* why do you keep doing these things….. *sob* why do you keep making me feel... like… like I’m special…. Oppa if they don’t mean anything then please tell me now…. Please…. Because I think I’m…. I think I’m already…..” Taeyeon stuttered as she felt her heart beat rapidly in her chest in tune with Jiyong’s as she finally confessed “…… I think I’m in love with you Kwon Jiyong…” she said hugging him tightly to stop herself from looking up

 

...

 

"Wha....."

 

"What...."

 

“Wha-what did you just say? Can you repeat what you just said???” Jiyong asked refusing to believe what he just heard but Taeyeon just shook her head hiding her face from him

 

 

 

“Taeyeon-ah… Kim Taeyeon…. aigoo.” Jiyong sighed, trying to keep the smile off of his face as he put Jiyeon, who was too busy eating her flowers to care, down.

 

“Taeyeon look at me please… hey…. Why do you think I would do all these things Taeyeon-ah? Do you think I’d make an effort like this if it doesn’t really mean anything for me? Taeyeon-ah look at me… Do you know that I’ve been waiting for you to say those words to me ever since I’ve realized that I liked you back in 2005… 11 years Tae….11 years. I’ve been loving you for that long waiting for this day that you realize that you loved me back. All those girls I’ve dated… the feeling is just not the same when I’m with you. Although I tried to hide it…to stop it because I thought we would never have a chance… well who would have thought that we will anyway, you- the golden girl from SM and me-the bad boy from YG, we’re just too different to be together, too far apart, and now look where we are. So please look at me Tae… I’ve waited so long for this moment to come…” he pleaded

 

Taeyon looked up after his sudden confession before hiding her face again, she knew that Jiyong liked her from their daughter but to have loved her for 11 years “But-but what about the other girls you’ve dated? Kiko-ssi? Didn’t you love her too?” she asked thinking back to anything that she could remember any interactions and conversations to before they were married as to any hints or evidence that Jiyong did love her but he came up with nothing except that time in 2008, a memory she can’t seem to get rid of. But it was still not worthy of being called a proof.

 

“I did but it wasn’t the same. I was only looking for someone or something that I can divert my attention too because you were so far away. Jin Woo hyung and Minji noona knew of course since hyung told her, I’m surprised that never told you. Maybe they wanted to leave it to fate so they never told the two of us about each other, nor did they invite us over on the same day. Except that once when Minji noona asked me to take you home because of the bad weather.” He explained as he recalled the memory of their first time riding in the same car and him getting her number. Jiyong bringing up a that memory eased Taeyeon’s shyness a bit so she was able to look at him properly.

 

“Oh I remember that, do you know how nervous I was? I was in the car with my long time crush and I…….” she immediately cut off what she was saying and went back to hiding her face but not before she saw the teasing smile on her husband’s face “shut up oppa!!” she said hitting him lightly

 

“hahaha but I didn’t say anything!! You’re the one who said that I was your cru….” He replied but Taeyeon covered his mouth with her hands blushing hard at her slip but Jiyong couldn’t stop himself from laughing

“Hahahahaha mianhe mianhe. I’ll stop” he said removing her hand from his mouth before pulling her close to hug her “aigoo haha… what will I do with my childish wife?”

 

“I’m not childish oppa, you are! Don’t you think so Jiyeonnie? Isn’t your appa childish?” Taeyeon asked turning to her daughter for support but their daughter ignored them completely focusing more on her chocolates

 

“Ha! See our daughter doesn’t agree with you!” Jiyong exclaimed patting Jiyeon’s head who finally looked up from her chocolates to beam at him

 

“You cheated!! You gave her chocolates!” she answered stomping her foot and crossing her arms

 

“Hahaha aren’t you the one who believed that a child doesn’t lie?” he teased as he moved to hug her from behind

 

“But she didn’t SAY that I was childish didn’t she? Why don’t we ask her then, but this time we’ll wait till she actually chooses one.” she huffed

 

“Jiyeonne who do you think is more childish? Eomma or appa?” they asked, both of them eagerly waiting for her answer

 

“Hmmm…. Appa!! Appa is more childish, even more than Jiyeon!!” she shouted as she jumped to hug her appa who was pretending to be sad

 

“Hahahahaha see! See! Who’s childish now?” she proudly bragged amusing Jiyong with her victory dance in tune with the music which was now turned to SNSD’s I Got A Boy. She looked so happy dancing that Jiyeon started copying her moves while Jiyong took pictures and recorded their dance session.

 

Seeing that Jiyong was taking a video of them Taeyeon mouthed her confession, silently uttering the words hoping that he could feel all the love that she had for him and the look and the smile that her husband sent her back as she and Jiyeon danced sent a sweet tingle into Taeyeon’s body as she felt the love that he had hidden for so long and the love he had for their family.
