37- “Runaway with me.”

“Runaway with me.” My adorable 4 year old daughter said as she packed her princess dress and teddy bear into her tiny pororo backpack.

“But what about daddy?” I asked her as I kneeled down to her level. I knew Jimin was outside the door listening in.

“Daddy is never here…” She said as the tears welled up in her eyes. “He’s always at work, so I won’t miss him that much…I’ll be okay as long as you come with me mommy.” 

I could hear Jimin sniffle in the hallway. He never wanted this life for his daughter and hearing her say that must have broken his heart. When you found out about Hyeri, Jimin was petrified. He wanted kids with you, but he wanted to wait until his career calmed down a bit. He didn’t want to be the absent parent. He was trying to be there for her, but his schedule was crazy and he only wanted to make sure that our future was secure.

“Daddy only works so much so that you can live happily baby,” I cooed as I pulled her into a hug, wiping the tears that formed in her eyes. She was so much like Jimin, it killed me.
