“Happy…”

“Dad, she will wear this,”

“No, she will wear this, stop your obsession about that mouse to your kid,” Mr. Kwon said in sternly voice.

Yuri has a deep frowned at her dad, she already preparing a cute white dress with mickey mouse patterns for her little girl but her dad was insisted to wearing his only granddaughter a mini hanbok.

“But we’re not going to celebrate in traditional way,”

“I know Yuri. You don’t have to do it in traditional way, but your kids should know from where she came from, and what nationality that flow in her blood, hanbok is a symbol of our pride.” Mr. Kwon said proudly.

“Do something Yoong, before they kill each other any time soon.” Taeyeon whispered to Yoona when they witnessed father-daughter endless bickering from the kitchen. Tiffany just chuckled beside Taeyeon.

Yoona walk closer to her wife who still has a deep frown.

“It’s okay Yul. I think she will be so cute in hanbok.” Yoona tries to pacify her frowning wife.

As Yoona gently squeeze Yuri’s hand and those flutter lethal doe eyes, Yuri surrender “Okay…”

“It’s so cute, isn’t it?” Yuri said proudly, feel satisfied with her creation.

Yoona nodded quickly. But the two immediately turn their attention to the couple in front of them.

“No, no. Don’t hold that. It’s heavy.” Taeyeon reprimand Tiffany.

Tiffany rolled her eyes at Taeyeon's ridiculousness, “it’s just a spoon, a teaspoon.”

“Let me hold it for you, it looks heavy.” Taeyeon took away the teaspoon from Tiffany’s hand. “Just tell me what you want to do, I’ll do it for you.”

Tiffany smiles knowingly, still not used to the extra attention from Taeyeon.

“What do you want to do for this cupcake? Choco chips? Some candies? Or fruits?” Taeyeon asked again. Tiffany just gives her eye smiles to Taeyeon while pointing her finger to the sliced fruits.

Yoona and Yuri exchanged a knowing look.

“They’re so cute,” Mrs. Kwon walk passed TaeNy couple and smiling, “Yoongie, I already take out the cake from the oven, what do you want to do next?”

“Oh, it’s time to make the icing, Mom.”

“Okay, let me help you.”

When you were born you filled my heart with pride, and I was overcome by the joy I felt inside.

As I held you in my arms that very first day, I knew I would never let any harm come your way.

With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet, every time I look at you my heart skips a beat.

As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night, I hope and pray I will do everything right.

I know I may make some mistakes along the way, but I promise to do my best not to every single day.

Becoming your mother has been a life-changing experience, and I learn so much from you.

I often wonder what you will grow up to be, but whatever you become will be fine with me.

Whatever you may decide to do in your life, maybe a teacher, an artist, or even a lawyer's wife.

A time will come when youth fades and from my arms you'll part, but I will always give you my love in the best way I know.

I can say this without any doubt at all, I will always be there to catch you if you fall.

And another promise I make to you from me,

Mommy's little angel you will always be…
