“Sweetheart, where are you?” A half lidded Ji Yeon started calling for SaRang groggily.

“SaRang?” She tried again. When her eyes finally got adjusted to her surroundings, her little girl was giggling happily in the air before landing in Sehun’s arms again. ‘When did these two get so close?’ She wondered but thought it was a lovely sight. A sight that she has hoped for so long. It feels so near yet so far. 

“Baby girl, look! Mummy’s up.” Sehun announced carrying SaRang towards Ji Yeon and putting her down on her tiny feet.

Sehun rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless at the compliment only to have his happy bubble burst by SaRang. “That’s because Uncle Kyungsoo came to help. Uncle Sehun had to throw away the first pot because it got burnt. Uncle Sehun got scolded too.” The little girl giggled.

“Yah, SaRang! You promised not to tell mummy. Come here you!” With that, the kid like man set off chasing after SaRang around the table where the little girl soon seek protection from her mummy by climbing up on her lap successfully preventing Sehun from catching her
