Jungyeon put the gear on park. “Is this the right address, Bunny?” She looked at her wife when they stopped in front of a building that has ‘Orphanage’ written outside.

“5A… Yes it’s right. The address matched with Taeyeon-nim’s text.” Nayeon showed her phone to the person sitting beside her.

“Right…” Jungyeon mumbled. But then a knock on the window surprised the couple. The driver bowed and rolled down the window in a hurry. “Oh, Tiffany Sunbaenim!”

“What were you two doing in the car for so long?” Tiffany teased. “Come here.”

The younger couple got off of their car and respectfully bowed to the other couple standing in front of them. “Taetae, you know Jungyeon already, and this is Nayeon, the one I told you about.”

“Ah the talented photographer?” Taeyeon offered her hand to Nayeon.

With trembling hand Nayeon shook the hand. “N-Nice to meet you… T-Taeyeon-nim.”

“Psh. Call me Unnie.” Taeyeon dismissed the title. “Let’s go inside and I’ll explain you everything.” She said. “I hope you two like babies.”

So, Kim Taeyeon, number one photographer in Korea, was given a chance by the government to raise the awareness of child abandonment and child adoption through what she does best. Since her wife was also a well-known public figure, Taeyeon thought that it would help her greatly because many of her wife’s friends could participate.

“Oh my God, so cute!” Nayeon squealed when she saw a room full of babies. “Baby, look!” She pulled Jungyeon’s hand and pointed at a dancing baby inside a crib.

Seeing the reaction, Taeyeon couldn’t help but to comment, “Nayeon loves babies, doesn’t she?”

“Yeah. She loves them.” Jungyeon answered.

“Do you have your own babies yet?”

“Ah… Not yet, maybe soon.”

“I want one, Babe. Let’s kidnap one!” Nayeon excitedly whispered while pulling her wife’s arm several times.

“Control yourself, Im Nayeon.” Jungyeon warned her wife with loud whisper. She turned herself again to Taeyeon. “I remember you have a daughter already… Seoyun?”

“Seohyun. Kim Seohyun. She already has a baby sister, Kim Joohyun.”

“Irene Kim.” Tiffany corrected.

“That’s the English name, yes.” Taeyeon took out her phone and unlocked it. “I’ll show you their picture.” She showed her phone screen to the young couple.

“Awww… cute. So pretty.” Nayeon commented. “Irene looks like you a lot, Taeyeon Unnie.”

“That is because I was the one who carried her. Seohyun was carried by Fany.”

“Ah I see… So, you could—”

“Nope. I’ll do the diaper changing and late night camping but no carrying.”

“Why, Jungyeon-ah?”

“She’s afraid of needles, and doctors, and hospitals, but mostly needles.”

The older couple was laughing because of the new fact they received. They conversed and joke around a minute longer before one of the orphanage officers ushered them to what it seemed to be a meeting room.

“Anyway, about the program, I have selected several babies from her that caught me eyes. One of the cutest is…” Taeyeon took a cute baby girl with an upright ponytail hairstyle from one of the sitters. “Jihyo.”

“Jihyo?”

Taeyeon nodded. “They named her Jihyo, she’s 5 months old now. Unfortunately, her parents died in a terrible car crash and no one came to pick her up when she was in the hospital. So the hospital sent her here.”

Nayeon frowned when she heard the background of this innocent baby girl.

“She’s Korean, right?” Jungyeon was the one who asked because she apparently had observed the baby for quite a while.

“Yeah, she’s Korean.”

“She looks like a foreigner.”

“I thought so too. But her parents were 100% Korean.”

“Can I hold her, Unnie?” Nayeon held out her hands, ready to hold the cute baby girl.

“Sure.”

Once Nayeon had Jihyo in her arms, she beamed. “Hi, Jihyo-yah.” She proceeded making funny faces and talked in baby tones to coo the little girl.

Little that she knew, Jungyeon was staring at her. Her heart felt giddy and warm when she saw the cute interaction between her wife and a baby. She smiled to herself.

~~~

Nayeon gasped when she saw the one that would be her model for the day. “Jihyo-yah~” She quickly took Jihyo to her arms. She kissed the baby’s cheek, making her giggled. “Omo! Cute! Aren’t you a cutie pie, Jihyo-yah?” She talked in baby tone and gave several more kisses.

“I’m so jealous right now.” Jungyeon commented. She pretended to sulk while crossing her arms and jutted her lower lip.

“Aww, don’t be Auntie Jungyeon. I won’t take your wife away.” The shorter girl was the one who speak, but she moved Jihyo’s small hand to poke her wife.

Jungyeon only chuckled.

“Do you want to familiarize yourself with her?”

“How?”

“Try to hold her. Here.”

“How do—“

Nayeon gave Jihyo to Jungyeon and the taller girl held the baby securely in her arms by reflex. “There you go. Put your other arm to support her neck and back.”

“Why?”

“Because she liked to throw her body back—“ Just right after Nayeon said that, Jihyo jerked her body. “BE CAREFUL BABY!—sigh.” She thanked God and her wife’s fast responses.

“I got it. I got it.” Jungyeon looked at the baby in her hold. “Yah, don’t move your body without notice, Jihyo-yah. I might drop you and she might kill me.”

Jihyo only traced Jungyeon’s face with her wet fingers and giggled.

“She’s starting to like you. Good.”

“It’s because I’m likeable.”

“Is that even a word?”

“I don’t know.” Jungyeon looked at the baby who was now gripping her collar and tried to it. “What are you doing, Jihyo-yah?” She asked while trying to remove the fabric off of the baby’s tight clutch. But then she got the answer.

Jihyo felt annoyed because Jungyeon forcefully took away, what she thought food, in her hand and she cried loudly. Her whine was boomed throughout the building, surprising everyone.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. What did I do? I’m sorry Jihyo-yah.”

Jihyo’s caretaker swiftly helped the handsome model to calm the baby down. She told Jungyeon that it was Jihyo’s feeding time. That time Nayeon was attentively giving a hand and was actually tried to feed Jihyo by herself. At the end, the caretaker allowed the pretty photographer to take over her task.

“You’re eating so well, aren’t you Jihyo-yah?” Nayeon spoke to the baby, feeling the clench on one of her hand that was holding the bottle.

Jungyeon sat on Nayeon’s side, peeking on Jihyo from behind her wife. She then put her chin on her wife’s shoulder and patted the baby’s head. “I think she’ll be a great singer one day.”

“And why is that?”

“Her voice was loud and clear.”

Nayeon chuckled. “That, I agree.”

“And I think you’re going to be a great mother too.” Jungyeon didn’t receive a reply after that because she didn’t know that her wife was actually shy over the compliment. “Let’s adopt Jihyo.” She blurted out after seeing that her wife and the baby’s unexplainable connection.

Nayeon looked at her wife in surprise. “Are you sure?”

Jungyeon nodded. “I am.”

~~~

After the tiring marketing and editing process, finally in the exact of two months later Taeyeon and Nayeon’s exhibition was held. They accepted great responses from the people because many idols, actors and other public figures became their models, not to mention the adorable babies. Including Jihyo.

The almost Yoo Jihyo.

Jungyeon didn’t know how and why but she fell in love with the baby. She fell in love on how her Nayeon adorably interacting with Jihyo. She just fell in love with this little bundle of joy and she wanted to share all kind of happiness to this child.

The young couple was in the finalization phase of the long procedures of adopting the foreigner looking baby girl. Jungyeon kept her words that she wanted to adopt Jihyo and proved it by completing the important papers, going through home visits, and all sort of legal stuff to gain the custody for Jihyo.

And they were just a step away to be parents.

“We should go to court tomorrow.” Jungyeon said after reading a letter that had just arrived at their mailbox.

“For?”

“Jihyo.”

Nayeon gasped and covered with her hands. “Really?”

“Yes.”

“That fast?”

Jungyeon nodded before feeling an impact from her wife’s tight hug.

“Oh my God. I’m going to be a mother!” Nayeon jumped in place with her wife in tow.

“Me too.”

Nayeon let go of her hug but still holding her wife’s hands. “Oh my God! This is so exciting! I can’t wait to buy pretty clothes for my Jihyo!”

“Our Jihyo.”

“Yes!!!”

As planned, the couple went to court the next day. Both Jungyeon and Nayeon were nervous and excited at the same time. Finally everything was set in place after the two signed the legal documents. “Congratulations, Mrs. Yoo. Do take a good care of Jihyo. I believe the two of you would be great parents for her.”

Nayeon was quick to take Jihyo in her arms. She shed a tear when she kissed the baby. “Hi Yoo Jihyo, I’m your mother. Nayeon Umma.”

Jungyeon couldn’t help but to cry too when she heard her wife’s statement. She held and kissed the two. “Welcome to the Yoo Clan, Jihyo-yah.”

“Yoo Jungyeon!” Nayeon suddenly stated.

“Yes, Bunny?”

“From now on, you are my kid’s Mother.”

“Wh—“ Jungyeon shook her head and grinned.
