Why [hiatus]Monday came faster than I had expected. It was finally the first day of work.
I walked into the building for the first time with Jaehyun in my arms.
“Are you ready for your first day Jae?” I asked him.
Because he was still learning how to talk, he grinned happily in response and mumbled some baby language I couldn’t really understand.
