After some time had passed, the test results finally came in. As it turns out, both males and their little swimmers were healthy enough to have the surrogacy. In fact, after the test results came in, they had been able to pick the women that had volunteered for the surrogacy. After donating a bit more samples, the two were now home and already preparing for the future.

“What do you think about her?” (DH)

“No. She’s too attractive.” (YJ) Daehyun raised a single brow as he placed the photograph back down onto the table. That was probably the fourth woman he had stated was too attractive. Actually, every single photograph had been rejected, which made Daehyun wonder..

“So you’re attracted to all of these women?” (DH) Young Jae paused from what he was doing before pushing himself up to stand up straight. He looked over at Daehyun, a slightly annoyed look on his face as he raised a single brow. What was Daehyun getting at? Who said anything about that? Young Jae never once stated that he was attracted to these women. All he stated was that they were attractive.

“No. I’m not. Why are you asking such a ridiculous question?” (YJ) Daehyun cleared his throat a bit as he sat up straight. He didn’t want to get Young Jae mad at him.. again, but he couldn’t help but want to make sure. It’s not that he was jealous or anything, but he was just.. curious. Of course, Daehyun wasn’t necessarily certain about his own feelings on the matter.

“Well.. you keep stating that they’re attractive. I was just..” (DH) Young Jae narrowed his eyelids a bit before a smirk played on his lips. He leaned in close as he placed one hand on his hip while using his other hand to point at Daehyun.

“Are you jealous?” (YJ) Daehyun turned slightly red as he looked away and rubbed the back of his head.

“N-No.. I.. I mean, you keep saying they’re attractive so.. I was just wondering..” (DH) Young Jae let out a small chuckle of amusement as he stood straight back up. Oddly enough, the thought of Daehyun being jealous had not once crossed his mind. Then again, Daehyun’s only human. Every single person out there had some sort of jealousy in that head of theirs, so he shouldn’t have been surprised. However, it was still quite amusing to have this new piece of information.

“No, I’m not attracted to these women. I’m more worried about you jumping the- I mean.. Uh.. Forget I said anything.” (YJ) It was Daehyun’s turn to smile as he leaned in a little closer to Young Jae.

“Oh? Are you the jealous one?” (DH) Young Jae looked up at Daehyun and narrowed his eyelids as he scoffed. He quickly turned away, looking back down at the pictures as he continued sorting through them. Him, jealous? There was no way that he would ever get jealous over someone else looking at his man. Sure, he would become.. briefly annoyed, but that was all. It’s not like he would attack the first person that came onto Daehyun or anything like that. “Well.. what about this one?” (DH)

Young Jae looked up at the picture that Daehyun was currently holding. He stared for a brief moment before letting out a small sigh. “Alright. Fine. Let me see her application before I decide on it completely.” (YJ)

Daehyun picked up the file before holding it out to Young Jae’s outstretched hand. Young Jae grasped the file before placing it out in front of him and reading through the information. He mumbled a bit, his eyes scanning through the words before he began to nod his head here and there. Daehyun moved a bit, attempting to see what Young Jae was currently reading. Was the file that good? “Well?” (DH)

“She’s... acceptable so far. This... Taeyeon.. seems to have quite an interesting resume. Though, since you picked her.. Are you going to be jumping at her like a beast in heat?” (YJ) Young Jae looked up from the resume as he soon made eye contact with Daehyun. Daehyun stared innocently for a moment before he chuckled a bit.

“Don’t worry. You’re the only one who catches my eyes.” (DH) Daehyun held his smile as he reached up and lightly caressed Young Jae’s cheek with the back of his fingers. Leaning in closer, he softly pressed his lips against Young Jae’s lips before pressing their foreheads together. “After all.. I asked you to marry me, right? You’re too important to betray..” (DH)

“Good.. Because if you betray me, I have various methods I can use to exact my revenge.” (YJ) Young Jae pulled away as he reached up and lightly pinched Daehyun’s cheeks. Getting to his feet, Young Jae picked up the resume and his cell phone before walking off to the side. Daehyun blinked a few times before slight worry began to kick in. What did he mean by that..?

“Hello? Ah.. Yes.. Is this Taeyeon Kim?” (YJ)

“Yes, this is Taeyeon Kim. May I ask who’s calling?" (TY) Young Jae nodded for a moment before clearing his throat. So far, she seemed to have a good enough voice to indicate that she was a good person. Though, the sound of a person’s voice wasn’t enough to convince Young Jae. After all, there have been plenty of murderers, rapists, arsonists, etc. whom used their voice to lure in their victims.

“Yes, well.. My name is Young Jae Yoo. I am contacting you because of your application as a wet nurse. You see, I have two babies coming in about little under a year or so from now and although it is fairly early to be searching for a wet nurse, I would rather be ahead of schedule as opposed to searching last minute. Is this an inconvenient time for you or am I allowed to question you at this moment?” (YJ)

“Oh, by all means! This is a good time.” (TY) Daehyun smiled warmly as he sat at the table, his elbow on the table as his chin rested in his palm. It was nice to see Young Jae trying so hard to find the right person for their future children. Sure, he knew that Young Jae was just the type of person to stick closely to a certain schedule or just the type of person to plan far ahead in time, but it was still refreshing in a way. Daehyun didn’t necessarily know how to explain it, but it was still nice to see.

Well, considering the fact that Young Jae was working so hard, maybe Daehyun should do something to help relieve him of his possible stress. After all, it had been quite a number of days, possibly even weeks, since he’s done anything for Young Jae. It was the least that he could do after all, especially with all of the things Young Jae’s been through lately.

Getting up from his seat, Daehyun made his way over to Young Jae, whom was still talking on the phone and over by the window. Coming up from behind him, Daehyun wrapped his arms around Young Jae’s waist as he lightly began kissing Young Jae’s soft neck. He instantly smiled as he heard Young Jae let out a soft moan, followed by a confused question by Taeyeon on the phone. “I-I apologize, but something has come UP!” (YJ)

Daehyun had softly bit down on Young Jae’s neck, causing him to yell out the last portion of his sentence. Young Jae instantly hit Daehyun’s arms, but Daehyun could only let out a soft chuckle as he began to softly on Young Jae’s neck. Despite all of this, Young Jae tried his best to maintain his composure in order to not give away what was currently happening. “Is.. Is it possible for you to come over in approximately three hours to continue the interview?” (YJ)

After another minute or so of talking, exchanging information, and a few bit down moans, the phone conversation finally came to an end. With his cell phone safely in his pocket, Young Jae turned around as he grabbed hold of Daehyun’s shirt and roughly pressed his lips against Daehyun’s. Daehyun led Young Jae towards the couch, their lips on one another as their tongues wrestled every now and then. Before they knew it, they had fallen over onto the couch with Young Jae quickly straddling Daehyun.

Seconds turned into minutes until Young Jae decided to pull away for some air. When that moment happened, they both gasped for air as Young Jae began roughly tugging at Daehyun’s pants. “Dammit, Daehyun.. Why couldn’t you wait until AFTER the phone call was over?!” (YJ)

Daehyun chuckled as he slowly began pulling at Young Jae’s shirt, lifting up a bit before running his fingers along Young Jae’s stomach. “Sorry, but I just can’t resist you.” (DH)

Young Jae’s fingers paused after successfully undoing Daehyun’s pants. His eyes trailed up at Young Jae as a single brow raised. “If I recall, you were resisting me for the past few weeks. Now suddenly, you decide that you want to have ?” (YJ)

“Hey... I can’t control when I’m in the mood. We’ve gotten some rest lately, so.. I’m more in the mood now.” (DH) Young Jae smirked as he reached into Daehyun’s pants and lightly fondled Daehyun’s private area. He bit his bottom lip, attempting to hide his satisfaction- Wait. Satisfaction? He wasn’t satisfied at all! In fact, Daehyun had better be ready to satisfy him as many times as he wanted it. After all the ual frustrations he had been put through, he was definitely not going to let Daehyun get away this time.

“Is that so? Well.. you had best be able to do it as many times as I request. We have to make up for the number of days that we missed.” (YJ) Just as Young Jae had started to pull Daehyun’s underwear down, his ears pricked up from the news that was currently playing.

Looking over, which caused Daehyun to do the same, Young Jae paid special attention to the case that was currently being spoken about. “.. just in! There have been two more victims to the violent gang war that has broken out; a father and a son...”

Young Jae mentally cursed the news reporter as his head began hurting again as more flashbacks seemed to swarm into his head. He raised his hand up to his head, trying to numb the pain that was affecting him. By the time it finally ended, he opened his eyes to find himself staring up at a worried looking Daehyun. “Are you alright?” (DH)

“.. Yea. What happened?” (YJ) Daehyun let out a small sigh as he sat back a bit to give Young Jae some space. He had hoped that Young Jae wouldn’t have any other problems after the last incident, but it didn't seem like his wish would be coming true any time soon.

“I think you were having a headache. You were holding your head after the news reporter mentioned the father and son and then after that, you fainted on top of me. You’ve been out for about an hour now..” (DH) An hour?! He had passed out for about an hour?! Young Jae didn’t even recall passing out in the first place! All he remembered were those damn flashbacks and it was really starting to grind his gears that these flashbacks were only coming to him in short bursts.

He remembered being sad about something, but the images were eluding him. Something had driven him to the point of not caring about his own health as long as he achieved his goal, but why were they not showing themselves to him?! Young Jae couldn’t just simply look up the reasons behind these flashbacks because it was evident that it had something to do with the time reversal device.

Still.. at least he was able to get a bit more information. There were different kinds of memories flowing through him, memories that showed different moments he had spent with Daehyun and even how differently he had spent some of his days. Still.. the same question always came to him; Why were these flashbacks just NOW coming to him?! He needed his answers and he needed them  now.

“Are you okay..? Are you sure you don’t want to go to a hospital?” (DH)

“I’m completely and entirely fine. These are just random occurrences that will eventually stop on their own. If anything, I am FAR more capable of finding the answer to these problems compared to those so called doctors. I just.. most likely need to rest. Work does have a strain on one's mentality after all, so.. if I just get more rest, then we can have later today. Alright? Sound good?” (YJ) Daehyun let out a small sigh as he rubbed the back of his head. If it really was rest that he needed, then sure.. that would be fine. But Daehyun knew better than that. He knew that it wasn’t work related, but all he could do was watch over Young Jae as best as possible.

“Alright.. but only if you really are up for it later. I don’t want you passing out again and making your condition worse.” (DH) Daehyun reached forward as he brushed a few strands of hair away from Young Jae’s face. Smiling a bit, he leaned forward as he softly planted a kiss on Young Jae’s forehead before pressing their foreheads together. “Rest well.. alright? I love you too much to lose you..” (DH)

Young Jae turned a bit red as he narrowed his eyelids and looked off to the side. Why was Daehyun over-exaggerating everything while also being cliche? There was no way that his health was in any sort of danger! Young Jae would just have to... make certain about it once he was at work on Monday. “Stop worrying about it already, dammit. You’re blowing things far too out of proportion, but.. fine. I will make certain to rest well. I love you too..” (YJ)

Lifting his head a bit, Young Jae softly pressed their lips together before smiling sightly. “Wake me up when Taeyeon arrives, alright? I want to make certain that she’s the right one to be nursing our children.” (YJ)

Daehyun nodded a bit as he pulled away and smiled. “Alright. In about two hours, right?” (DH)

With a small nod, Young Jae to his right side in order to face the back of the couch. Letting out a small sigh, Young Jae closed his eyes as he felt Daehyun running his fingers through his hair. It was comforting in a way and before he knew it, he quickly fell asleep.

Once he was certain that Young Jae was asleep, Daehyun let out a small sigh. There had to be something done and whether Young Jae liked it or not, they had to make sure that Young Jae’s condition wouldn’t get worse. With a soft kiss on Young Jae’s cheek, Daehyun got up from his seat as he pulled out his cell phone.

Dialing a certain number, Daehyun pressed the phone to his ear as he stood by the window. Clearing his throat, he waited until someone finally picked up on the other side before speaking. “Hello? Yes.. I would like to set up an appointment for my husband..” (DH)

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

“Hey.. Wake up, Young Jae.” (DH) Young Jae whined a bit as he swatted at the hand that was rubbing at his shoulder. When the hand didn’t move away like he had wanted it to, Young Jae finally sat up as he sleepily looked around. “Hey.. Taeyeon’s going to be arriving soon. Just wanted to make sure you weren’t groggy when she gets here.” (DH)

Young Jae sleepily blinked before letting out a small yawn. Well, at least Daehyun seemed to know a little bit about what he wanted. Rubbing his eyes a bit, Young Jae got to his feet as he scratched his side. “How much time until she gets here?” (YJ)

“About half an hour.” (DH) Half an hour? Young Jae could have gotten at least another twenty minutes more of sleep! Why did Daehyun feel the need to wake him up so early when it was completely unnecessary?! For now, he would let it slide. At least Daehyun was responsible enough to wake him up before Taeyeon actually got here.

“Half an hour... Alright. I’ll get ready I guess. Make sure that there is enough snacks.” (YJ) With a nod, the two went to their intended destinations. Young Jae couldn’t help but glance back over at Daehyun.

After some time had passed, the two had finished their errands and were now waiting patiently one the couch. Cartoons were playing as usual and despite the fact that Daehyun had his full attention on the television screen, Young Jae had something else in mind. “You know... if we’re fast enough, we should finish before Taeyeon gets here..” (YJ)

“.. Huh?” (DH) Just as Daehyun turned to face his husband, Young Jae practically threw himself at Daehyun as lips collided with one another. Daehyun’s eyes widened as he raised his hands up to Young Jae’s arms, feeling Young Jae’s tongue invading his mouth as Young Jae began pulling Daehyun closer towards him. Though, instead of fighting it, Daehyun merely shrugged as he practically pushed Young Jae down onto the couch, deepening the kiss.

Just as Young Jae began tugging at Daehyun’s pants once again, the doorbell quickly sounded. Young Jae let out a groan as he felt Daehyun slowly pull himself away. “Dammit..! We still have approximately ten minutes..!” (YJ)

“Don’t worry, Young Jae. We still have time later.” (DH) Young Jae let out a small sigh as both of them got to their feet. As they made their way towards the front door, they quickly made sure that their clothes were smoothed out before stopping at the door. Peeking through the peephole, Daehyun grinned a bit as he turned to look at Young Jae. “She’s here. You ready?” (DH)

“Might as well get it over with.. I’m already and I want to satisfy it.” (YJ) Daehyun chuckled a bit as he unlocked the door and turned the doorknob. He had nearly forgotten how Young Jae could get, but the poor male will just have to wait.

With the door completely open, Daehyun grinned happily as he stuck his hand out to Taeyeon, whom was also smiling. Once they shook hands, Taeyeon slightly bowed her head as she tucked her hair on her right side behind her ear. “Hello! My name is Taeyeon Kim. You must be Young Jae Yoo?” (TY)

“Ah.. No. I’m his husband, Daehyun Jung.” (DH) Daehyun took a stepped off to the side as he finally revealed Young Jae. Taeyeon held an embarrassed smile as she bowed her head yet again, sticking her hand out to shake Young Jae’s hand.

“Ah.. I’m sorry! It’s nice to meet you both.” (TY)

“Please, come in.” (YJ)

“Thank you.” (TY) Taeyeon bowed her head once more as she stepped into the apartment. With the door closed behind her, Taeyeon tucked her hair behind her ear once more as she looked down at the ground, specifically at the shoes that were scattered around the front area. “Should I take my shoes off also?” (TY)

“Yes. Wear the slippers over there if you want to.” (YJ) While Taeyeon took her heels off, Young Jae made his way over to the dining table. Daehyun stood awkwardly by the closet door, a small smile on his face as he waited patiently for Taeyeon to change into the slippers. Once that was done, Taeyeon looked up and jumped back in surprise when she noticed Daehyun still standing there. She laughed a bit at her own reaction as she placed a hand to her chest in an attempt to calm her heart.

“Woah! You scared me a bit. Lead the way?” (TY)

“Sure.” (DH) Daehyun grinned as he turned and began walking towards the dining table. Young Jae, noticing their little encounter, raised a single brow in suspicion as he watched the two walking over to them. What had that been about? Why was Daehyun grinning so much? Did Daehyun have some sort of infatuation with this Taeyeon? If that was going to be the case, then Young Jae was definitely not going to stand for such a thing. However, he would have to observe a bit longer before he jumped to conclusions. If he started any drama, then Daehyun may end up upset with him and he will most likely have lost the best potential candidate for the wet nurse position. Plus, it would be fairly embarrassing if he was incorrect about his conclusion. That was definitely something he detested.

Once the two were seated, Taeyeon smiled happily and bowed her head a bit as she accepted the plate that Daehyun was holding out to her. Setting the plate down, she looked eagerly from one dish to another before looking up at Young Jae. “Is this really alright?” (TY)

“Yes, it’s alright. Please, eat whatever you like.” (YJ) Taeyeon bowed her head again as she took hold of the fork that had been on the plate. Reaching forward with the fork, she began picking out the various foods that seemed to catch her interest before she began eating.

“Ah.. This tastes really good! But, um.. Are you not going to eat also?” (TY) Noticing that Young Jae wasn’t eating, she felt a bit awkward eating in front of him. Of course, she probably would have felt more awkward if Daehyun hadn’t started eating before her. She was actually rather thankful that Daehyun had started eating with little to no hesitance.

“Do not concern yourself with me. I will eat when I decide to do so.” (YJ) Taeyeon slightly nodded, but she was very tempted to get Young Jae to eat. Had she been here at the start of the day, she would have known whether or not Young Jae had anything to eat yet. Still.. it was best not to concern herself on it too much. Young Jae didn’t look like he was starving himself, so it wasn’t a problem at this moment. “While you eat, I would like to discuss your experience concerning the position I have called you for.” (YJ)

Taeyeon thought on it for a moment before nodding. She hadn’t necessarily forgotten about the interview. It was more along the lines of the interview being set off to the side. She wasn’t expecting to have been given lunch during her interview, so it was a rather pleasant surprise for her. “I have had experience with children. I used to work as a school teacher from Kindergarten to fifth grade for about... nine years. Although I do love being a school teacher, I... decided to become a wet nurse instead. I have only been hired by about two families so far, but I have worked hard enough to make certain that everything for their children are set until they were able to take care of their children.” (TY)

Although he was simply just observing the interview, Daehyun seemed to nod in approval as he ate. Young Jae eyed Daehyun for a bit, but simply dismissed his thoughts as he had attempted to keep his focus on Taeyeon. Once she was done talking and had gone back to eating, Young Jae nodded for a brief moment. “Why did you decide to become a wet nurse?” (YJ)

Young Jae noticed the brief moment of hesitance on Taeyeon’s movement before quickly composing herself. Even Daehyun had noticed it, but he wasn’t going to question it. Unlike Young Jae, Daehyun could already tell that it was something personal. “I.. wanted to help the families that either couldn’t nurse their babies themselves or chose not to.” (TY)

With a simple nod, Young Jae decided to accept that answer for the time being. It’s not like it had taken her a long amount of time for her to come up with an answer and if it had been a lie, then there were plenty of ways he could punish her if she tried to do anything harmful to their children. “Hm... alright then. So far, you seem to be an acceptable choice to be our children’s wet nurse.” (YJ)

Picking up the application papers, Young Jae skimmed through it for a moment before looking back up at Taeyeon. “Do you live on your own? It seems to be an inconvenience if you have children of your own while working as a wet nurse.” (YJ)

Taeyeon cleared a bit as she wiped with her napkin. She looked around for a moment before looking at Young Jae again. “Oh.. No, I don’t have any children. I live with my mother at the moment. She takes care of the house while I’m away and.. I’m sorry for asking this, but may I have something to drink?” (TY)

“Oh! I’ll get it.” (DH) Taeyeon looked over to Daehyun and had bowed her head, but Daehyun had already gotten up from his seat and was now making his way over to the kitchen. Young Jae eyed Daehyun with suspicion before turning his attention back to Taeyeon.

“I see.. Do you have any criminal records or incidents concerning an affair with husbands or inflicting injuries on children?” (YJ) Had she not had finished what she was chewing on at that very moment, Taeyeon probably would have started choking after hearing what Young Jae had asked. Even Daehyun was surprised to hear what Young Jae was asking and probably would have said something to Young Jae, if Taeyeon hand’t started speaking first.

“No, I don’t have any sort of records or incidents like that. Are you implying that I have?” (TY) She didn’t necessarily like being accused of something that she didn’t do, but Taeyeon understood that future parents can be a little.. overprotective over their children. Of course, in this case, it seemed like Young Jae was being a bit jealous for some reason. She hadn’t done anything suggestive or anything, but it seemed like Young Jae had thought otherwise. Plus, why did he have to worry? They were both gay.. right? So there shouldn’t be anything to worry about if they weren’t attracted to women.

“I assure you, I am simply... making certain that everything is in order. I would not want to have a troublemaker in my house after all, but so far.. you seem to meet up with my standards.” (YJ) As Daehyun took his seat while handing the cup of water over to Taeyeon, Young Jae began getting food for himself. “I think you would be the most adequate option for the position. What is your opinion on the situation?” (YJ)

After taking a few sips of her water, Taeyeon set the cup back down onto the table as she thought on the question for a moment. How exactly did she feel about this? Well, they certainly seem like nice people and they most definitely do need her for this. Sure, they could turn to anyone else, but they had decided to giver her a chance. “I.. think it’s a good situation.” (TY)

“Good. Then you’re hired.” (YJ) Taeyeon looked up at Young Jae in surprise as he began eating. That was it? She already had the job? They weren’t going to consider everyone else before making a decision? Still, this was at least a good thing for her. With a smile and a slight bow of her head, Taeyeon tucked her hair behind her ear as she began speaking.

“Oh, thank you very much! I.. did not expect to get the job so quickly.” (TY) Young Jae looked up from his food as a single brow raised. What, was she not grateful to have obtained the job so easily? Would she prefer to make her way through various hurdles in order to obtain this job because he can most definitely create the hurdles necessary to satisfy her needs.

“Is there more that you had required from this interview?” (YJ) Taeyeon shook her head a bit as she looked around a bit.

“Oh, of course not! It was just a surprise is all.” (TY) Taeyeon brought the fork to as she quietly chewed the rest of her food. Daehyun was about to reach for seconds when he finally spotted the time. He thought on it for a moment before shrugging and getting more food anyway.

“We have to go get Jongup soon.” (DH) Perking up a bit, Taeyeon looked over at Daehyun with curiosity. Who was Jongup? Were these two not married after all like she had assumed? Of course.. they could have just been roommates that lived together and just so happened to want to have children as well.

“Who’s Jongup?” (TY)

“Our son.” (YJ) Son? Well, it was evident that they were married now, unless they were just fooling around. But, Young Jae didn’t seem like the type to joke around based on her first impression of him.

“How old is Jongup?” (TY)

“He’s eighteen now.” (DH) Taeyeon’s eyes widened with surprise as she paused mid bite. Nineteen?! How old were these two?! There was just no way that these two were older than her, unless they had some sort of ability to keep themselves looking young.

Noticing the look that Taeyeon had on her face, Young Jae sighed a bit as he took another bite. He already knew what was running through her mind, considering he had encountered the same reactions time and time again. It wasn’t a surprise really, but it was rather tiresome having to explain it each and every time. “He’s adopted, if you were wondering. We adopted him about a year and a half ago.. almost.” (YJ)

Taeyeon nodded, finally understanding. Well, it was good to know that they had one other child. It was better for her so that she completely understands the situation that she was going to be putting herself in. “Do you have any other children?” (TY)

“No, we do not. Jongup is our only child at the moment.” (YJ) The rest of the time was spent with some idle conversation here and there. The two were getting along well enough with Taeyeon and vice versa, so it seemed like things would go smoothly.

When it came time for Taeyeon to leave, she had taken only one step out of the doorway before turning around. Daehyun was about to close the door, but noticing this, he quickly paused as he looked at Taeyeon with confusion. “You mentioned that you were going to be having two babies,right?” (TY)

“Yeah. Why do you ask?” (DH)

“Well..” (TY) She wasn’t necessarily certain if this was the right time or place to be doing this, but it seemed like it would be beneficial to the two. Sure, it was a slightly added financial burden on the two, but Taeyeon didn’t mind if she worked for less than originally offered. She had done so before and things had turned out well. “I have this.. friend that works as a babysitter from time to time. She had been wanting to work as a Nanny for some time and I was wondering if it would be alright if she came to work at about the same time I do. I mean, I understand that you two and your son may not require a nanny, but I do remember you two mentioning that you work at about the same time that your son goes to school. That would mean that I would be left alone while caring for the babies.” (TY)

Daehyun nodded here and there as he listened to Taeyeon. It did make sense to hire someone else to help Taeyeon take care of the babies. Sure, he didn’t know much on what a nurse maid is supposed to do besides feeding the babies, but it would still end up being too much work for one person alone while everyone else was out of the house. “Alright. I’ll go tell Young Jae about it soon. Thanks for the suggestion!” (DH)

“Ah.. you’re welcome. Have a good day!” (TY) With a smile and a wave, Taeyeon turned before she began walking once more. Daehyun smiled happily as he closed the door. Today seemed like a relatively nice day and he quite enjoyed it. Okay, sure, there was that incident with Young Jae earlier, but he seemed to be in better spirits at the moment.

Just as he turned around, he jumped back a bit upon spotting a rather nonchalant looking Young Jae. Taking in a deep breath, Daehyun let out a small sigh as he smiled a bit. “Hey. Taeyeon recommended a friend of hers to act as a nanny for our kids. What do you think?” (DH)

“A nanny..?” (YJ) A nanny. That meant even more money being spent on a person to take care of their children. He didn’t necessarily want more people in their household to practically drain the funds that they currently had, but Taeyeon had brought up some valid points. Yes, he did overhear the conversation that they were having and yes, he did admit that it seemed like a wise decision to have two people handling the babies while they were out. Young Jae definitely regretted his decision of agreeing to have two babies at once, but there was no backing out now. What’s done was done. “Alright. We’ll have to interview her, but later. Don’t we have to pick up Jongup?” (YJ)

Looking down at his watch, Daehyun ran a hand through his hair as he nodded a bit. “Yea.. I didn’t realize it was that late already. Are you gonna stay here or are you gonna come with me?” (DH)

It would have been much easier to let Daehyun go off on his own to pick up their child, but no. Young Jae, although he would deny it until his very death, was suspicious about Daehyun going off to meet that Taeyeon and having an affair. Nope. He was not going to have that whatsoever. He would follow along with Daehyun just to make sure to keep an eye on him. Plus... this feeling he had from those flashbacks earlier were gnawing away at him. He just had this weird urge to make certain that both Daehyun and Jongup were safe. “I will be coming along with you. When have I not?” (YJ)

Daehyun smiled and nodded before the two got their coats on. Once they were ready, the two were soon out the door and on their way to their destination.

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

Coming to a stop behind the slightly long line in front of the school building, Daehyun set the car into park before turning the car off. With a small sigh, Daehyun leaned back in his seat as he looked out the window to his left. It was as busy as ever, but that’s the life one has while living in New York. The only time that it wasn’t all that busy was at night, when most people were asleep by then.

His thoughts were pulled when he felt a soft, warm hand slide over his. Turning his head, he looked down at Young Jae’s hand before looking up at him. Daehyun smiled, which caused Young Jae to give a small smile in return. Looking back down at their hands, Daehyun turned his hand around before intertwining their fingers together. With a small squeeze, Daehyun was about to lean in and kiss his husband, when a knock on the door turned their attention.

Looking up at their intruder, Jongup grinned that usual smile as he waved happily. Behind him, Zelo waved too with an innocent smile on his face. Letting out a small sigh, Young Jae leaned back in his seat as Daehyun unlocked the doors. Young Jae had hoped to get in SOME action before Jongup was released, but it seemed like that wasn’t going to happen at this very moment.

With the doors unlocked, Jongup and Zelo both slid into the back before closing the door behind them. Daehyun started the car back up and locked the doors before they were soon on their way. “So, how was school?” (DH)

“It-” (JU)

“It was really fun! I wish we could go to school in this one game I play. I mean, I guess we can, but it’s not that fun because we don’t really get to see what happens.” (Z) While Zelo went on and on about the game that he was currently obsessed with, Young Jae leaned his head against the window as he drifted off to his own thoughts.

However, he wasn’t necessarily lost in his thoughts all that long when Zelo’s words caused his ears to pick up. Instantly sitting up, he quickly turned to face Zelo as he furrowed his eyebrows. “What was that?” (YJ)

“Oh.. um..” (Z) Zelo looked worriedly from Jongup to Young Jae as he attempted to swallow the lump in his throat. He had forgotten that Young Jae didn’t like that sort of talk and the fact that he had brought it up would mean that he was going to get into trouble again. “Well.. I was trying for a baby and it took three or four times to get pregnant! I mean, it’s a lot different from woohooing because they’re doing it with protection! At least.. I think that’s what my Sims were doing..” (Z)

“Sims? Like a simulation?” (YJ)

“Um.. I think so! I was playing Sims three and it’s really fun.” (Z) Young Jae looked at Zelo almost as if he was crazy before turning around and shaking his head in disapproval. A game where they have ? Is this where Zelo was getting his weird addiction from? It seemed like a pointless game, but then again.. he did forbid Zelo and Jongup from ever having until they were legally adults at the age of twenty-one. So, in a way, if this got rid of Zelo’s ual frustration in a healthy manner, then it did not matter.

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

The rest of the drive home had been relatively pleasant. Zelo continued talking about that game of his, to which Young Jae paid little to no attention to. It’s not like he had grown a wee bit interested about it, considering the various other objectives that could be accomplished in the game. After all, why would he be interested in creating characters and controlling their every movement? It would especially not be all that interesting to have two characters that just so happened to have his and Daehyun’s names and looked similar to them, then constantly have them ‘woohoo’ over and over again. Nope. It just didn’t seem all that interesting whatsoever.

Turning the corner, Daehyun paused for a moment as he spotted the lone figure by the door. Young Jae, Jongup, and Zelo all looked to see the reason behind Daehyun’s temporary pause, before all four of them made their way up to the person. Hearing the slight sound of their footsteps, the woman turned to look at the four males before smiling. “Oh! You’ve arrived!” (TY)

“Taeyeon? What are you doing here?” (DH) Taeyeon scratched the side of her head as she placed her hand on her hip. She knew she should have called ahead of time, but she felt like surprising them for some odd reason. Whether it was a good surprise or not, she couldn’t necessarily say. She could just hope that it was a good surprise.

“I’m actually here to move in with you. I’d like to get to know all of you so that I have a feel for what I am getting myself into. I won’t be working just yet, so I’ll be paying as if I’m renting the room here. I will, however, be helping around the house just so I have a feel for how you would like things to be done. Is that alright?” (TY)

Daehyun turned to look at everyone else, whom quickly looked at one another. He quickly made eye contact with Young Jae, whom was currently thinking on the possibility. “What do you think, Young Jae? Should we let her?” (DH)

Well, he didn’t see anything wrong with it. There wasn’t much work to be done while at home, but with Taeyeon’s added funds for the rent, then they wouldn’t have to worry too much about whether or not they would have enough money for later on. “It.. seems like a fairly good idea for the time being. We will just have to see how it goes before we can come up with the correct solution.” (YJ)

“Alright. So.. Jongup, what do you think? Are you okay with this?” (DH)

“I.. I think it’s okay.” (JU)

“I’m okay with it too! It seems super fun!” (Z) Young Jae reached up and took a firm hold of Zelo’s ear before pulling at it. Zelo instantly let out his small cries of pain as he reached a hand up in an attempt to get Young Jae’s grip to loosen.

“Let’s go inside now.” (YJ) Taeyeon moved to the side a bit as Young Jae pulled Zelo up to the door. With his keys in hand, Young Jae unlocked the door before opening it up and pulling Zelo inside. Daehyun smiled and shook his head a bit before looking over at Taeyeon, whom was about to pick up her bags.

“Le-” (DH)

“Let me do it! I’ll help.” (JU) Jongup was rather quick to take hold of the handles on Taeyeon’s bags before pulling, or rather, dragging all of the bags inside. Daehyun sighed as Taeyeon let out a small chuckle. Once Taeyeon was inside, Daehyun followed suit before closing the door behind him.

Hopefully, things will go well between them all.

[[ My Own Thoughts: 

Yay >3<...
Finally introduced Taeyeon to the fanfic.
I was debating between bringing her in when the children come in..
Or before..
But before seemed best, considering Young Jae is the type to do something like this. xD
Sooo... yea. x3

On a side note, ual frustration is rampant in these parts.
Lots of things blocking their advances...
But don’t worry.
A scene/chapter will be coming in fairly soon. x3

As for the flashbacks..
Uh.. to explain it a bit better,
these flashbacks are actually of events that occurred whenever the time reversal device had been used.
Young Jae had used it once, so those memories had been imprinted into Young Jae.
However, when Daehyun used it, those memories technically shouldn’t exist.
But since Daehyun was in contact with Young Jae when he used it, those memories are still technically there.
Being in constant contact with the device (since he works with it) is unlocking the memories that had been cut off from the fragmentation.

Generally speaking,
Back in Rewound Time, when Daehyun had used the device, Young Jae had only part of his memories.
Those memories were there because Daehyun was in contact with Young Jae during those moments.
So that’s why Young Jae only remembered those parts.
So he is just now starting to remember the other parts when he wasn’t in contact with Daehyun.
That includes the memories from when he had first used the time reversal device.
Uh.. Does that make sense?
I wanted to make sure that everyone was understanding what was happening so far. ;;...

Comments are loved x3
Questions are accepted too. I’ll answer them to the best of my capability. x3
I love talking with everyone and making sure that no one’s too confused >.<..
(Of course, I’m not spoiling future chapters. xD) ]]
