6 years later....
It's been six wonderful years, we had our ups and our downs and I soon realised that life can't always be fairy tale ending, but...maybe... sometimes, because don't we all deserve to experience it once in a life time.
Right now, my legs are happily wrapped up in his warmth. Familiar hands wrapped securely around my waist, eyes slightly parted though still perfectly asleep and I couldn't help but chuckle. I should be used to this sight by now, so endearing- Yes, even with both eyes slightly parted my heart seems to not care as it still beats furiously.
Then a huge grin plants itself straight into my face as soon as I realised, who those little thuds of footsteps belong too.
"Umma~~~" I small chuckle escapes my lips as the door reveals a cute, hyper active little boy, with a green dinosaur tightly held by small chubby hands. I closed my eyes feigning asleep.
I couldn't help myself but crack an eye open, small enough to witness small eyes being drawn into little squints as a bright smile begins to paint itself on ivory skin, soft brown locks bouncing as two small feet began to run towards a pink linen covered bed.
"Umma, Appa~~~" a cute squeaky voice says, before grabbing a handful of the said, pink linen and bringing himself up, before sitting at the middle of Jonghyun and I.
You're all probably wondering, who this cute, little boy is...and no its not what your thinking, I didn't pop him out, as a boy it's kinda impossible as much as I wanted to.
As soon as Jonghyun and I got married, that happened only 6 months after he proposed; on our 1 month anniversary as a married couple, I was surprised with a bunch of adoption papers, laid out carefully on the dinner table.
My wedding day, my not be traditional but it was one of the best day of my life. On January 14, 2012; Jonghyun, Mr Kim, my father and I all flew to America for our wedding, it was simple yet it was everything that I wanted it to be.
Jonghyun looked magnificent in an expensive black tailored suit, a matching black bow tie as well as hand picked cream white polo shirt by me. A single pink rose was pinned on Jonghyun's right hand chest pocket. As always he brings the essence of sophistication and class even with only a simple suit; my blood boiled as random strangers of both genders can't help but ogle at my fiancé.
I on the other, in Jonghyun's own words looked 'absolutely impeccable, so beautiful and elegant; the perfect 'wife' that would make a wonderful parent'. While Jonghyun was in black he decided that it was best if I wore white and it was exactly what I wore on my big day (but my favourite colour also made a beautiful appearance), my surprisingly curvy figure was accentuated by an ivory waistcoat with pale pink embroidery design above a cream white polo that matched Jonghyun's own. It was intricate and beautiful, topped off with a pale pink bow tie, the look was finished with my white skinny jeans (I can't be me, without my skinnies) and a single white rose pinned on my right hand chest pocket.
The most important people in both our lives are there; our fathers. The first time that they both met each other, they become like brothers, hang around and play golf or even go fishing in the small river in the forest (in a way, I think it help my father realise that maybe having a friend he could trust, was more important).
We told them together the day after Jonghyun had proposed to me, Mr Kim said he knew already, that he was with Jonghyun the night that they had picked out the rings, "I've never seen my too confident of a son, so nervous in his life, you really are something Kibum-ah" while on the other hand my father was extremely delighted, saying how he knew that it would, in time all come to this. They both welcomed and supported our decision, and was made witnesses in our marriage.
We said those sweet and needed 'I do's' before topping the day with a heavenly kiss.
"I love you, Bummie"
"I love you too, Jjonggie"
And on our 1 year wedding anniversary I was gifted with the best present ever, in the morning of May 25th I was told, how we were finally going to be parents to a healthy six month old baby boy of Korean American ethnicity; an orphan perfect for us.
I was so happy and delighted; the moment I laid my feline like eyes on him its like the mother instincts inside me grew and fluttered. He was perfect and if I didn't know any better, I would really have thought that this boy was ours; eyes big and brown like Jonghyun's yet pinched perfectly in way that gave him that feline like effect that my own eyes held, pink plump lips and even the perfect little nose which made me chuckle, as his nose resembled Jjong's, perfectly.
And the said little boy was named; Jaeki, we wanted him to have a Korean name which resemble one of English and Jaeki kind of sounded a lot like Jakey, but we always seem to call him by his nickname; Baby Jae and his been our little jewel ever since, our baby Jaeki is perfect.
But today is a very specially day for our growing baby boy; already been 5 wonderful years since this baby boy has been in our lives and I've been acting like a don't remember since yesterday. However, today Jonghyun and I have decided to have a special family outing to celebrate his 5th birthday, but 'shush' its still a surprise.
"Umma~~"
"Appa~~"
I don't think I can ever grow tired of hearing his voice, so sweet and angelic, so I couldn't help but want to feign asleep for longer. Soon after, I started to feel two small hands cupping my face giving it a shake, "Umma, guess what... it's baby Jaeki's birthday...mummy, wake up" and that's all it took for me to crack an eye open, to see our little bundle of joy grinning happily.
"Good morning, baby~~~" I said grogilly, as a unlatch the strong arms around me before sitting up cradling my little piece of angel on my lap.
"Morning, mummy~~" Jeaki said after giving me the sweetest morning kiss (maybe even as good as Jjonggie's) before giggling happily.
"Umma, did you forget something" he asked me with big round puppy eyes, just like his father; forever using it to their advantage. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit at my son's cuteness, but soon got in character, as I tilted my head to the side pretending to remember something before shaking my head, "I don't think so."
Jeaki, pouted crossing both arms in annoyance, "I'm quite angry, umma. I can't believe you forgot baby Jeaki's birthday" and that, I think did it for me, I just can't... my son is just far too cute for words.
I giggled, circling two hands around the slightly annoyed, pouting little boy in front of me, "I'm only joking baby, how can mummy forget about Jeaki's birthday" I cooed as I kiss him in his forehead.
"Really? Umma that's really mean you know" my angel lectured me and I couldn't help but giggle because of it. How cute can you get my son, I thought to myself before nodding at his question.
"I heard, daddy got you an awesome present" I whispered to him, making him gasp, eyes turning into saucers, before turning to face me, "Really? But, Appa is still asleep" he said with a pout.
I kissed the pout goodbye before telling him that it would be fine to wake up his dad.
"Appa~~~ Wake up" Jeaki said while poking his father's cheeks, trying to wake up the other who's clearly out like a rock.
I knew exactly needed to be done to wake up my rock of a husband, "Baby, why don't we tickle daddy, to wake him up" which my son soon cheered happily too, before leaping over his sleeping father; so that we we're siting at either side of him.
We both wriggled our fingers high in the air before counting, "In... 3... 2... 1, bring out the tickle monster" and with that we began tickling Jjonggie, earning a low (y) growl like grunt but soon after a chain of laughter and "Oww~ stop already" was leaving his plush yet slightly chapped lips.
"Wakey~ wakey~ daddy" Our cute son said while giggling at the sight of his unamused father.
"Yes~ daddy wake up" I teased while tickling him. I knew exactly where that'll leave me and lets just say... the I love the punishment.
But as soon as I looked away it was like the hulk has been awaken, because in less then a couple of seconds Jonghyun who was out like a rock; already had one strong arm around my waist and the other around Jeaki's who was already crying out to be let go as, "The Hulk has been awaken".
"You two are in big trouble..." Jonghyun grunted while he brought both Jeaki and I closer to his defined chest, "But because I'm feeling nice, the hulk shall let you all go~" he then said while he brought us down with him laying back down on our bed with both Jaeki and I secured at either side of Jonghyun; a sight of a happy family.
My head was laying above Jonghyun's shoulder, I hugged him and our son with my arm, "Good morning, baby~" I greeted as I reached out to place a sweet morning kiss to his cheeks.
He chuckled before placing a loving kiss in the crown of my head before letting out a muttered, "Good morning, sweetie~".
He then turned to our son who he was cradling in his side, "How's our little soldier doing?", which Jea chuckled at, "I'm doing good, Sir" our son said with a smile huge smile while he saluted before getting up and sitting on his appa's abdomen.
"I heard from umma, that its someone's birthday today and who could that be?" I chuckled at how cute my husband is, feigning like he didn't know, though he worked hard to get the present, Jeaki has been deing to have.
"It's mee~~ daddy, it's baby Jeaki's birthday today." Smiling happily, gently jumping in excitement putting his hands up as he spoke.
"Really, but I didn't get you any present?" Jonghyun said sadly, making Jaeki pout, ahh why must I be surrounded by so many cute adorable people. With that I nudge Jonghyun slightly, letting him know that the little play of ours has ended.
"Hey, appa's only kidding baby, I got you the awesomest present ever" he said while bring our pouting son into a hug.
We both couldn't take our son's adorableness, as Jea pouted once again crossing his arms, "Why, is appa and umma, being so mean to baby Jeaki, today?" he asked, which we just both couldn't take as we awed in wonder, "Because, baby Jaeki, is just too cute" Jonghyun said giving our son a kiss in the forehead.
"Now who wants to see, appa's awesome present?" Jonghyun said enthusiastically, making me laugh at his never ending cute antics.
"Meeeee~" Jaeki replied while bring both hands up in the air, waving them around like crazy.
They were about to go and leap like two little puppies into the living room before I realised that I've forgotten something, "Wait!" They both stopped before turning around, "What's wrong, umma?" Jeaki asked confused while walking back to see if I was okay, ahh my cute and thoughtful son.
"I forgot to take a picture, of you honey" I said while reaching over opening the bedside table's little compartment, taking out my cherished Polaroid camera, before lifting Jeaki up, to sit on the side of the bed, "Say cheese~~" I said before taking the picture.
"Now, you can go with appa" I said not wanting to keep behind the overly excited five year old any longer, running to meet his father in the living room.
I couldn't help but shed a couple of tears while looking at the picture, his grown up so much, so handsome and charming. My fingers caressed Jeaki's face in the picture thinking, 'How lucky am I, to have you?'
And couldn't help but laugh at the little green dinosaur that he seems to never leave without, in his arms; reminding him of his father, I suppose. It was a gift from Jonghyun, after being out of the country for almost a month.
Jonghyun over the years has worked his way up becoming a CEO at prospering company after his father thought that it was best to retire so that some quality time could be spent with his grandchild. However that came with the price of not having enough time to be at home; he wanted to provide and be the best dad for Jeaki and so even with the tired bags under his eyes, he'll stay awake for the sake of being able to play with his son. Now, can I really ask for a more perfect husband because I think I've already got the perfect one right in my arms.
I placed the photograph down on top of the bed side table before finally getting up heading for the living room, smile appearing on my face as soon as two widely smiling people came to view.
"Umma, look at what daddy, got me... it's the car I wanted, umma look, its so cool" the hyperactive overly excited toddler came running towards me, one hand wrapped around my legs while the other pointing furiously on the red miniature car that's being unwrapped carefully, by my husband.
I couldn't help myself but laugh at my son's excitement; jumping up and down with hands clapping against each other, "Hurry, daddy, hurry" a sweet yet squeaky voice said too excitedly.
"Chill, kiddo daddy's going as fast as I can, but they wrapped it up good" Jonghyun would then say trying to calm the 5 year old, too enthusiastic for his own good.
The five year old nodded happily before running beside his fathers side, intently watching as his gift is being unwrapped.
My gift for him is securely saved in his trust fund, all for his future, but the picnic will contain all his favourite food, both Korean and American.
I left the two alone, walking towards the kitchen to prepare the last sets of dishes for the picnic, most of them I've already made and is stored neatly in the fridge.
I collected the ingredients to make chocolate chip pancakes and strawberry smoothies for breakfast. In the middle of mixing the batter when suddenly, "Yay~~~ Daddy your the best ever, I love you... I love you... I love you" Jaeki cheered giving his dad kisses in between every words of love, "I'm so happy, daddy".
Awww bless him, his so happy and because of that I'm extremely happy too.
I went back to what I was doing, mixing up the batter putting in the chocolate chips in the mix, carefully stirring it before I felt a familiar breath tingling my ears, "Mmm~~ looks yummy, mummy". I giggle at his words, "And, you far too cute, daddy" I replied before secretly dipping a finger into the side of the batter, turning around and smearing a dollop of the mix into Jonghyun's cheeks.
Jonghyun feigned shocked before capturing my waist in between his big strong hands, gently pushing me backwards so that my back was against the kitchen counter, "So you wanna play dirty, huh, Kibummie" he said and before I knew it, a dollop of mix was already stealthily place in my cheeks, making me pout.
"I'm sorry, baby" he said eyes looking guilty even if it was me who started the little game, before taking a kitchen towel, wiping the mix off my face.
Why are you so freaking perfect Kim Jonghyun? But to be honest sometimes I'd rather have that question unanswered because no matter how you look at it this piece of perfection is mine, and mine alone.
He caressed my sides, sneaking a hand into my shirt caressing the patch of skin the covered my back, lovingly; action making me relax and lean in to his touch, I placed a hand around his neck and the other towards his cheeks, wiping off the mix with my thumb before clasping both hands around his neck, "Pabo, it was my fault; I'm sorry, Jjonggie" I apologized placing a soft kiss to his lips.
And with that the sweet little innocent kiss turned hot and passionate. Jonghyun's hand caressing my waist while the other was placed comfortably on top of my clothed , while my hand was lost within the mass of Jonghyun's soft brown hair and the other placed in front of his strong chest.
The kiss sent me to my euphoria and heaven, it was getting hotter and hott-
"Daddy, why are you eating mummy's face? Stop your hurting umma!" A little voice shouted from the door, face confused and angry.
Jonghyun and I parted for air, before I pecked him one last time before walking over to my poor innocent son and kneeling down in front of him, "Hey, no need to get angry; no silly, appa wasn't eating umma's face we w-were j-just uh uh ..."
"Kissing baby; like 'ppo ppo'" Jonghyun thankfully carried on for me, the embarrassment of getting caught making out with my husband by my son, I think is a good enough reason to be sent into a mind frenzy.
"Are you sure, it doesn't hurt?" My caring son asked caressing my cheeks lovingly, I giggled before shaking my head, "No it doesn't hurt, baby, thank you for asking" I said before giving him a peck on the forehead.
Jonghyun walked over to us, picking up Jaeki, "See, appa wasn't eating umma's face" he said to his son, but Jae shook his head making me laugh, "Appa I don't think you should do this anymore to umma..." He said before trying to imitate a French kiss, though it looked more like a dog lapping up its drink, "I think a nice ppo ppo like this..." Jae then continued showing his father how to ppo ppo, "is better." I couldn't help myself but laugh at my sons innocence and charm and soon enough Jonghyun himself who was lectured on how to kiss by the 5 year old was also laughing, "Okay, appa will only give umma, ppo ppo's." Jonghyun grinned making the younger giggle.
I walked up to Jonghyun who was currently carrying our son, tightly in his arms, and wrapped my arms around the both of them, "I love you both, now give umma a ppo ppo" I told them before tapping either side of my cheeks with my fingers. The two grinned mischievously before pecking my cheeks, I giggled at how they treat me like complete royalty; it's my way or the highway.
We stayed like that, all cuddled up together for another couple of minutes before we decided it was time to eat.
We all gathered together in the kitchen counter after I cooked out family favourite; chocolate chip pancakes topped with maple syrup and freshly made whipped cream.
"Wow~~ Umma this looks yummy, I love you lots and lots, umma" my baby said in awe while stretching his arms widely, grinning cutely even with one of his bottom teeth missing as well as legs swinging from excitement, "I love you lots and lots too baby... daddy too" I giggled as I saw my 29 year old husband pout, feigning hurt as his name was not mentioned but face instantly lighting up once I included him in.
"Pabo, you're meant to be the dad here, not that child" I before planting a kiss in the crown of his head after placing down his plate in front of him.
Before I could go back to the kitchen to pick up my plate, I was stopped by two strong arms around my waist, "Jjong, let go~~" I said turning face towards him, only to find my husband protruding his lips, "Kiss me, Bummie" he whined.
I couldn't help but chuckle at my husband's charm and undeniable appeal, I by shaking my head before pointing my lips to Jae's direction, making the older pout even harder, "Just a quick one please, I'm low in energy" he pleaded with that infamous puppy eyes of his, that I've yet to be immune of.
Darn that puppy eyes if his, now even Jaeki is learning a thing or two from his dad.
"Okay, just a peck, Jjonggie", the obedient puppy nodded, I leaned over placing a soft hast kiss on Jonhyun's maple tasting sweet lips, "Happy?" The puppy nodded happily, "Very" continuing to eat his breakfast.
The family finished, breakfast quicker than expected, (seems to always happen whenever chocolate chip pancakes are laid on the table) I was now busy washing up the dishes while the two boys were busy playing with Jaeki's new toys in the living room; ones giving by him and Appa Kim.
Suddenly, two arms surrounded my waist and breaths making the hairs in my neck raise up, "Thank you for the wonderful, breakfast, Bummie" he said kissing the nape of my neck.
"Everything, for you and Jaeki" I replied turning my head to place a kiss in Jonghyun's cheeks, earning me a low and muttered 'hmmm'.
We stayed cuddled up like that until I finished doing the dishes,"Jjong, can you bathe Jaeki, dad's expecting us in 2 hours" I asked while cupping his face in both my hands, he nodded and pecked my forehead before calling for Jae, who was too busy playing with his new toys.
Surprisingly, the whole family was able to get change and ready within the given time, heck even I didn't take as long as I usually would... well with two boys telling you to hurry up, I think I could.
Jonghyun started to pack the car with all the things, needed for the picnic, while I placed Jaeki in his car seat handing him his dinosaur, "You excited, baby?" I asked him pushing his hair away form his face, he nodded excitedly, both feet swinging back and forth, "Yeah~ I can't wait to see grandpa!"
I buckled Jae, down before joining Jjong in front of the car, "Everyone, ready?" He asked clasping his hands together, both Jaeki and I shouted that indeed we are.
After, 20 minutes, we've already reached my fathers house and Jaeki was getting more and more excited, "Umma, what do you thing grandpa got me?" He asked ecitedly, I laughed at his excitement before shaking my head, "I don't know sweetie, but it'll probably be something you'd really like" I told him while I got out my seat.
I unbuckled Jae, out of his seat placing him down, and before I could even say anything, his already ran of towards his father who was already knocking on the front door.
I closed the car door before taking my bag and walking up to my husband and son who's already to hyper to get into the house, "I coming Jae, don't knock down grandpa's door" I hear my father say, making both Jonghyun and I laugh and chuckle in the process.
Soon after that was heard the door open to a crouched age man, with both his arms wide open, "Grandpa!~~" Jae shouted both his arms up in the air, running towards my dad, "Slow down kiddo, grandpa's getting older, you'll take me down soon" he said as he lifts up the young boy in his arms.
I walked over to my dad given him a tight hug, "How you doing, Dad?" I asked him with a smile, brushing Jae's hair out of his face.
"I'm doing good, Kibum-ah" he replied, nodding to Jonghyun who was know behind me, an arm loosely placed around my shoulder, putting Jaeki down who's already noticed the big blue covered box in the living room.
"Grandpa, is this my gift?" He asked as he hugs the box too big for him, we walked towards the overjoyed 5 year old, "Your, spoiling him dad" I told him in a whisper making the old man chuckle "Well, I can't help it, a golf playing birdie, told me what Jonghyun got for him. I can't lose to that" he said with a smirk.
You old man, always competing for Jaeki's attention.
Jonghyun laughed, "So what did you get him?" Now it was the old man turn to chuckle, "Why don't we all, find out" he said in a whisper.
"You can open it, Jaeki boy" he says sitting down in from of Jae, who's eyes began to widen, "Really, gramps? This is mine." The cute 5 year old says, not even waiting for a reply to begin, taking the poor wrapper a part, revealing a miniature blue quad bike.
"You seriously got to be kidding" I said under my breath, as I watched my son thanking his grand father for the 'best present ever, in the whole world'.
Jonghyun on the other hand, did nothing but smirked, "I totally saw this coming" he said to me as he placed a hand on his forehead shaking his head.
After getting over my dad upstaging Jjonggie's present, we left Jae on his own to play with his new toy, before heading to the kitchen.
My dad was over the counter pouring us drinks, "Where is the whole, Kim family going to?" He asked placing the drinks in front of us.
"We planned, on just going down the beach; have a picnic to celebrate baby Jae's birthday" I said after taking a sip from the drink.
We started to talk about work, home as well as Jaeki and how his already attending kindergarten.
"Daddy, come play with me" Jae says as he came running into the room, pulling on his fathers arms. Jonghyun smiled at him before picking him up and then excusing himself to go a play with his son.
Jonghyun, I don't think he could be any better, at being the perfect father because of him I can already see how much of a gentle man Jaeki will turn out to be. I smiled at the thought.
"Five years, huh" my dad says interrupting my train of thoughts.
I tore my gaze away from the direction Jonghyun came out from, smile never fading.
"Yeah, a crazy yet beautiful and very happy, five years" I told him, he smiled at me before sitting in front of me extending a hand to caress my cheeks, "I can't say enough, how proud you've made me, Kibum-ah" he told me loving eyes staring at me, "I can say the same to you, old man" I told him caressing his hands that was in my cheeks.
He lets go, "Jonghyun, his everything you could want and more; great provider, loving father... everything that I should have been to you"
I shook my head, "You know what else, you both are... Idiots" I told them, making the older gape his mouth in shock.
"You're the best father, I could of ever asked for, okay; just as great as Jonghyun. You accepted me and my happiness, without a second thought because you knew that it would make me happy, now how can you get any better than that?" I asked him, I can se a tear spilling his eyes, I wiped it away.
"You're a great father, dad" I told him, he nodded before standing up to hug me. I hugged him tight.
Jonghyun came chuckling in with our son laughing securely around his back in a piggy back.
"Dad, I think it's time for us to go" I told my dad as I patted his shoulders, he nodded before walking with us to the living room.
"The gift, is awesome gramps, I can't wait to play with it, you should come round and see what dad got me, it's super awesome too" Jaeki says as he hugs his grandfather goodbye.
Jonghyun nodded in agreement with his son, "I think you should visit us soon, appa Kim" he says patting my father on the shoulder, while the other hand was on mine.
My dad nodded, "I'm might visit you soon" he says to us, giving Jaeki a ruffle on the hair.
After we said our goodbyes, to my father, we headed straight for the beach; weather so hot yet breezy, perfect for a picnic.
The car was parked in our usually parking slot near the beach shack he worked in all those years ago; very first time I choose to listen to my heart instead of the fear and doubt, that my brain has programmed me to feel; the place I was able to open up a little of myself to Jonghyun.
I got out of the car, taking Jaeki out of his seat, "Wait for appa and umma, okay. I want you to eat before you and appa play" I instructed him while I popped him down next to me, I kneeled in front of him dressing him up in his life jacket and shorts.
I chuckled at how the green dinosaur is still being held tightly by Jae's little arms.
Jonghyun carried the picnic basket along with the bag full if clothes and other things in one hand while he had the other around my waist, while I carried the picnic blanket inboth of mine; Jaeki was already down the beach playing with in the sand with his bucket and spade.
I couldn't help but let my jealousy take over, can't these girls see that Jjong is obviously mine and one hundred percent gay; ogling him like he's some kind of meat.
To be honest I couldn't blame them, Jonghyun was a fit 29 year old; body sculpted to perfection by the gods and in this instance the fact that, that pabo was only wearing swimming shorts with his bare body being flaunted shamelessly to everyone, I really couldn't blame them. I was ogling too, but major difference... Jonghyun is my husband.
I gave the girl that past us the nastiest glare, she was so blatantly staring, heck drool was even coming out from ; geez women these days.
"Baby, stop doing that your gonna end up having wrinkles and we all know you don't want that, honey" Jonghyun whispered to my ear as he pulled me closer towards him, making me smirk instantly as the girl's eyes widen by about four times the size at the sight. Jonghyun had one arm around my waist and now did the girl only realised that we were together; how stupid.
"I wouldn't of have to, if this husband of mine, wore some clothes" I replied before pinching his cheeks with my free hand.
"It's not my fault, I look undeniably good looking and attractive" he said cockily while making the matters worst by flexing his biceps in front of me and the girls who just can't stop staring.
"Now, now lets not get too cocky, hubby" I lectured him with a smirk as I waved a finger from side to side.
"It's not cocky, when it's the truth" Jonghyun said in a whisper bitting my ear while he cupped my cheeks in his hands, making me squeak at the surprising action.
"Jjong, people will see" I told him trying to take his hands if my , he chuckled before whispering, "And that's exactly what you want them to do, you sly minx" giving my a little slap, making me let out a small yelp; gave him a glare.
Something I've learnt from the past 7 years I've known Jonghyun; not as stupid as he makes himself out to be. He knows things about me I didn't even know myself until he acknowledges them; how I play with my piercings whenever I'm thinking or how I'd eat a sandwich, taking of its crust and then eating it in a circular way. Makes me feel noticed, loved. Meant that Jonghyun notices things about me because he cares and take notice of the little things that makes me, me.
I love him for that.
"I love you because of that you know, lets me know that you're not afraid to show your jealousy; that you love me enough to show it"he whispered, hands now back around my waist, caressing the small patch of exposed cream like skin, before kissing my temples.
Making me smile contently, "What do you expect me to do, let them ditzy girls ogle on my husband, no way over my dead beautiful body" before laying down the picnic mat on the sand. I've also learnt how I can be a diva in less than a second.
Jonghyun chuckled while placing down all our things as well as the picnic basket beside me, "Should definitely, get you more jealous, you're too cute that way" he said eyes smiling as he started to unpack the small bag full of Jae's toys, earning him another glare from me, although I had to quickly turn my face around so that the small smile the painted on my lips would go unnoticed by him.
We called Jaeki over to get his sunblock put on, "Baby, come here please" I said to the little boy currently playing on the sand, he got up an started to run towards me; bright smile and bobbing silk like hair.
"Yes, umma?" He asked as he stood in front of me before I placed him on my lap, "Need to put your sunblock on,baby. You can play for another 5 minutes then I'll come call you to eat okay" I told him before letting him go back to wear he was not forgetting the small dinosaur that's somewhat became the king of his sandcastle.
I took out all the sandwiches, drinks and desserts that I've made for the picnic; all being Jaeki's favourite food and unsurprisingly so is Jonghyun's, who had help me set everything up as well as not being able to help himself from the chocolate cake that I have made in advance.
Jjong called Jae back, which he came back almost immediately at the mentioning of the certain chocolate desert.
"Umma, this all looks sooo yummy, love you umma~~" Jae claimed loudly in awe; staring at all the mouth watering food, that is all his favourite, making me smile and let escape a faint giggle, "I love you too, baby~ I'm glad that you like it... Now eat!" I told him and with that being said the younger started munching on his sandwhich, eyes smiling with each bite.
After I finished eating I took out my famous camera and started to snap pictures if my two boys who were still too engrossed in eating.
I seriously can't thank The Lord enough, for making me blessed with a steady job that I loved; being a fashion editor is hard but I loved every second of it. I've got a great providing husband and the cutest baby boy that we both know will grow up to be the most successful young man.
"Umma, why do you take so much picture?" My cutie patutie asked with his little head tilted to the side.
"It's because umma wants to capture, every single happy moment there is" I told him looking through all the pictures with a smile embossed on my face.
Jae his lips before placing down his half eaten sand which, "Can I borrow it, mummy" he said while pointing at the camera in my hands, I smiled before nodding him and handing him the said sleek pink and white coloured object.
"I want to take picture of you and appa, umma" he told me before nudging me closer towards Jjong who's hand was already waiting for me to fit perfectly inside his hold; placed me in his lap while holding me by the waist tightly, making me blush deep bright red and let the tingly feeling that I thought I've come immune o rush to every part if my body.
"Umma, you look really cute being all red like that" Jae said with a smile, making me curse under my breath because as soon as the left his mouth, Jonghyun had my chin captured between his fingers, "Hey, don't be shy, Bummie you look adorble" and with that we heard a flash of the camera and Jae giggling along with it.
"Umma and appa, looks really good together; makes Jaeki feel happy" he said as he waited for the picture to print before handing it to me and I couldn't help but smile because if it. Indeed we look happy and great together. I was sitting comfortably in Jjong's lap, like I belonged there, blushing so red as Jonghyun's fingers was under my chin making me look at him, who's eyes filled with so much undeniable love and admiration.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss" Jaeki chanted while smiling widely.
"B-baby, what did you sa-" I asked with wide eyes and gaped mouth accompanied with the brightest layer of pink painted across my cheeks, did my son just as us to-
"Kiss appa, umma" he instructed, making me bit the corner of my lips.
"B-but b-baby..." And with that a pout has began forming itself on Jae's small lips, "Just kiss, me" Jonghyun whispered in my ear.
"Okay baby, don't pout. Mummy will kiss, daddy" I reassured him and I don't know if it scared me or what, at how fast the pout was erased and replaced with... wait is that a smirk.
Jonghyun, what have you been teaching your son?
"Yay~" he celebrated with the widest if smiles.
I turned my face, to turn towards Jonghyun, placing a haste soft kiss of his cheeks, "Done, baby. Did you get it?" I asked, only to be responded with a disappointed sigh.
"Kiss, daddy in here" he said disappointedly while patting his lips, Jonghyun just had to join in, "Yeah, kiss daddy in here" while protruding his lips making lossy face at me.
"Don't push it, Jjong" I snarled in a whisper, he chuckled, before squeezing the bare sided of my body, "One kiss in the lips, won't hurt and look our baby's pouting on his birthday" he knew the guilt trip would always work on me plus that darn puppy eyes of his wasn't helping me say no either.
"Cheer up baby, mummy will kiss daddy okay, so you can take the picture" I cheered him, instantly making the smile that was once gone replaced by a wider one.
I can feel the blood rushing to my cheeks, making them turn a darker shade of red. I turned my body to face Jonghyun, who was grinning like the pabo he is; placing his hands securely around my waist while mine went around his neck.
Click...
He smiled as he looked me in the eyes before pecking my nose...
Click....
he then pressed his forehead against mine...
Click...
And finally he looked at me once again; eyes telling me that I was loved and cared, before planting the sweetest kiss in my lips.
Click.
Kiss, so sweet and hypnotising that I lost track of the time; not a care in the world about who was watching, even if it was Jaeki that was behind the lens.
But, I guess the lungs of humans still needs improving, next thing I knew; we've already parted catching our breaths for air.
"Daddy, didn't I tell you not to kiss umma like that" Jeaki lectured his dad, walking to where we are before plopping himself down on my lap, "Lets take a family picture, umma" he said, giving me the camera. I nodded and smiled as I wrapped my hands around Jae.
Jonghyun helped me to lift the the camera up in front of us, we all smiled; happy wide grins.
"Say, cheese" Jonghyun instructed, we all followed and said cheese grinning toward camera.
Click.
The photograph came out perfectly, the perfect family picture to be enlarge and put in the living room wall.
"Okay, I think we've taken too many pictures for today" I said while placing the camera down beside us, the two boys started to laugh, "Umma, can we play now?" Jaeki asked with puppy eyes.
I couldn't say no to the puppy face, "Okay, but stay close, I don't want you wondering away, Jaeki. You got that" I told him, as I adjusted his life jacket, he nodded, "I will, unma~~" before taking his spade and bucket and running near the water.
Jonghyun helped me, tidy up all the food and put some of the unneeded things away. I thanked him afterwards, giving him a kiss on the cheeks.
I sat in between Jonghyun's legs with his arms loosely wrapped around my waist, while talking about how great the day had been.
Jaeki started waving at us and me being me I whipped out my camera and started to take pictures of the boy that manage to take everyone's breath away.
"His growing up to be, a looker like me, huh" Jonghyun, said placing his chin on my shoulders.
I hummed in response because I couldn't really argue with what he said; it's the truth, Jaeki is growing up just like Jjong, finding his interest in cars like his father.
I turned to face him with a smile planted on my lips, "I love you", making him smile; brought me closer to his embrace, "I love you, too" he whispered.
Jae came running towards us, "Daddy can you play with me and umma, too" he asked sweetly knowing that he'll have everything his way if he did.
"Of course, baby, wanna build a castle?" The 7 year old at heart suggested, getting up, taking me up with him.
Our little angel started to celebrate, "You lot can play, I think I'm gonna go and read my book" I told them making the both of them pout, "But umma, reading is so boring" he said stretching out the 'o' in each word that contained it with an irritated pout.
I was about to protest about how great books are and lecture him when Jae started to pull faces...he was nodding his head to the person...behind me.
"In 3...2...1, heave" and with that I was already being lifted by Jonghyun with me over his shoulder and Jaeki running along side him, "Jonghyun, put me down" I can feel him shake his head, "No, stop being a kill joy" he said chuckling, steps finally concluding in to a halt.
"Yeah mummy, play with us and stop bing a 'kill joy'" he says imitating his father.
I was finally released from Jonghyun's hold, putting me down on both my feet.
I look at the both of them with guilty eyes, "Okay, lets play~" I told them clasping my hands together and running towards the knee deep water, Jonghyun flipped Jae across his shoulders and started to run towards me.
We played catch, with me being the one having to catch them, but I didn't care as long as my two boys were having fun.
Then we began to splash one another and surprise, surprise, it was me who was target; now they ask me why I find reading a better thing to do.
I left them again, as they played with each other in the waters. I sat back down on our picnic mat, watching the two boys that made my life full of rainbows as well as the rain that some times came with it.
Jonghyun, looked so happy, playing with Jaeki and just as I predicted all those years ago, Jonghyun would and did make a wonderful father.
I sat under the umbrella, with a book at hand and my D&G sunglasses over my face, I started to read the book I've been trying to read for a whole month.
I was starting to get so absorbed with my book when suddenly I felt a wet sandy hand on my legs, I closed my book knowing who the person was, placing it beside pushing my sunglasses up.
"Thought, you were playing with Jaeki" I asked him sitting up next to Jonghyun who's already plopped down beside me.
In the distance was our little angel playing in the huge castle that Jonghyun made for him.
Jonghyun took my hand and started to fiddle with my fingers, before looking up and gaze meeting mine, he opened his mouth to talk before shutting it again. He looked at Jaeki before trurning his gaze back at me; kissed the palm of my hand.
"Loving you, is something I'll never regret, because of you I was able to find myself and be happy, you and Jaeki; we're a family now; a happy family."
Jonghyun said to me as he lets go of my hand, caressing my shoulders pulling me closer as we sat peacefully in the sand, watching our son play in the waters, I nodded and hummed before turning my head round to face a content face happily watching Jae play in the sand.
"I think being a rebel suits me, don't you think?" I remarked cheekily as I pressed my head closer to his shoulders.
"Definitely..." He chuckled while taking my hand before pulling me up, "How much of a head start do you want?" He asked me and I know too well what he had meant with that and before I even thought of giving an answer I began to run to the shore where Jaeki was already waving from.
I couldn't help but chuckle, "Hey... No fair" Jonghyun whined making me stop and turn round and like a flash he caught me in hisembrace picking me up just like how a prince would do to his princess, bringing me closer to Jaeki.
"Put me down, Jjong~" I whined, struggling to get down from his iron like hold? Jonghyun chuckled before saying, "You're such a whiner" before gently laying me down on the wet sand.
"You bet, I am and you better not be getting tired of it any time soon,we still have 100 years to go; you and me." I said sitting up cradling our son into my lap.
Jonghyun took his place next to me, "You're the one that might get tired of me... because I think that it's pretty impossible for me to ever get tired of someone as interesting... as you" He said before pecking me sweetly on the lips.
"It was really fun today, umma; got to play with appa and eat deliciously too as well as going around to grandpa's" Jaeki says as he played with the sand, "Anything, for you Jaeki, we're glad that you had fun today; Happy Birthday, baby" Jonghyun said to our child picking him up letting him sit in his shoulders, "Want to play sharks in the water before we go home?" He suggested, chuckling as our son celebrated by shouting , 'Yes~~~ Please' before getting let down back to his own two feet.
"Ahem..." I said making the two boys look in my direction, where my hand was already place in the curves of my hips, "You might want to ask for something" I told them.
With that I couldn't help but chuckle; "Pleaseeee~~ Umma, can we go and play again" they both said in complete unison both of their hands clasped together with puppy dog eyes accompanied by a cute pout, now how could I say no to that, "30 minutes, then were going home, okay" I warned them, they clapped before running together towards the water, 'Like father, like son' I thought as I sat down letting my feet get buried in the sand.
A content and happy smile grazed my lips at the sight of the two most important people in my life, they were everything that I've ever dreamt of and more, one is the reason why I wake up in the morning and the other my reason why I stay happy and awake in the long days of the year.
I never knew being able to trust someone, like how I trusted Jonghyun can make me so happy and content, it's difficult, I know but it was worth the risk; worth the pain because I'm happy now besides we've got a little boy to take care and love.
I was some who couldn't trust no one but then it made me realise, how I've been so selfish; to be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved by someone you love.
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours.
"Umma~~" Jae shouted both hand surround his small mouth, quickly gaining my attention, "Yes, Baby?" I asked, you smiled before gesturing me to come, "Appa said come and play" and with that I could see the same silhouette that guarded me from the sun all those years ago being lit up by the beautiful sunset, waving at me.
I stood up dusting the sand from my swim shorts and began to jog my way to my husband and son, already standing with both their hands wide open.
They're the best things, that's ever been mine. He's my one and only exception.
