Wish Tree

Never Enough

Seulgi heard the sound of little feet running down the wooden floor of the hallways followed by another pair doing the same thing. She didn't have to be a genius to know that such activity wouldn't have a good result and even more when that pair of demons loved to wear only socks in that slippery floor. The brunette went into the corridor that connected her own room with the one of those little criminals and watched them while she crossed her arms across her chest. She wanted to burst out laughing looking at them being so happy but when those kind of games put them at risk, Seulgi surely had to give them a little heads up

"Sowon, Seungmin. What do you think you're doing?"

Both devils continued their furious race along the corridor and finally Seulgi caught them in her arms while both laughed and shouted, claiming to be placed down on the floor. Seungmin, the eldest with four years, managed to escape from the tight grip and held on to his mother's leg like a koala while he continued laughing loudly. Sowon, the one-year-old girl who still tripped on flat ground but for some reason had managed to run now, snuggled between the adult's arm and her chest, clinging to her mother's neck and feeling too safe in her arms to return to the dangerous ground

"I've told you guys a million times that you shouldn't run with socks, you can slip and fall" Seulgi's voice sounded strong, even though she still wanted to laugh at the antics of her two little children. Each time she walked, she dragged the leg in which she had her firstborn clinging tight and that only made him laugh a little more. "Minnie, it's enough"

"It's fun!" The boy cried with happiness when Seulgi tried to shake him off without success. Suwon brought her little fist to and mimicked her brother's evil laugh. God... they were adorable. Seulgi wanted to kiss them both

"What are-? Oh my God… Kang Seungmin, Kang Sowon and Kang Seulgi, what in the world are you guys doing?"

The three stopped at the sound of that voice. Seulgi felt the air escaped from her lungs and not because of the big problem she was in (she was supposed to be the adult here and she should keep things under control but her children didn't even take her seriously in the first place) but for the beauty of the woman in front of her. Her hair fell in a long chestnut waterfall up to her shoulders, she wore a white sweater and blue jeans with brown boots, she crossed her arms across her chest and now her body formed a perfect silhouette in the shape of an S

Her wife and best friend, the most important pillar of her family.

There is Son Seungwan. Wendy for the rest of the world

The one that kept the family under control by the way

"We were playing!" Seungmin shouted with a lot of excitement, Seulgi knew this ‘loud’ side was inherited from the woman she was staring at right now "Mom is comfortable"

"Minnie, honey. You can't do that" Wendy sighed and came up to him, holding him in her arms and kissing him on the cheek once she managed to calm him down "You were running again with only socks, right?" When the boy nodded proudly, Wendy continued. "You can fall, baby and it's going to hurt. Can you go to your room and put on some slippers? We are going to make Christmas cookies if you do"

"Cool! Let me go!" Seungmin jumped from his mother's arms in one quick leap and then (much to Seulgi's surprise) walked to his room while singing some typical Christmas song of the time. Seulgi and Sowon stared at Wendy with the same expression: mouth slightly open and innocent eyes full of curiosity. Wendy approached them both and took the baby in her arms repeating the same display of affection she did a moment ago with her eldest son and looking at Seulgi with a pout "What about you, huh? Aren't you supposed to be the adult here?"

Seulgi smiled smugly

"You're beautiful"

Wendy blushed and walked to Seulgi just to hit her arm, an action that tore a laugh out of the child who still enjoyed the taste of her fist in

"Oh my god, you're horrible"

"I love you, Son Seungwan!"

"Enough!"

Minutes later the whole family was gathered in the kitchen of their home. The Christmas season was just around the corner, just a couple of weeks before the great day that everyone expected. Seulgi had managed to get a vacation from her job as a photographer because her boss also chose to take a vacation. Wendy only worked a half of her usual shifts at the bakery she shared with her friend Joy in order to spend more time with her beautiful family. Joy didn't care much (how she would care if she could bring her girlfriend at any time she wanted)

That's how they decided to spend time with the two, as Seulgi loved to call them, baby bears. Seungmin had been the firstborn after Wendy chose to be the one who would carry him for nine months through the mythical method of artificial insemination. Sowon was born after Seulgi chose that they needed a new member for the family and she would be the one who would give her life inside her own body.

Adapting to the parent lifestyle hadn't been easy but little by little things took a course and now they got used to it.

Honestly, they wouldn't change anything for the life they were currently living

"Mom, can you give me a cookie with the shape of Rudolph?" Seungmin was sitting in a chair in the small dining room inside the kitchen, Wendy was sitting next to him decorating a cookie with the shape of a snowman. Seulgi was in another chair with Sowon in her lap, both covered in flour and edible paintings, decorating a cookie with the shape of a Christmas tree

"They aren't called 'Rudolph', Minnie. They are called reindeers"

"Ren-Renei-Renender!" Seungmin smiled proudly at the new word he had just learned. Wendy nodded several times to confirm to her son that that was the correct pronunciation, Seulgi clapped as much as she could while she had both hands busy

"Very good, Minnie. Renender sounds fantastic but 'reindeer' its the correct word, darling" Seulgi finished decorating the Christmas tree and smiled cutting a small portion to give it to Sowon who clapped happily after tasting the cookie "Do you like it, baby? I'll give you more"

Wendy handed the reindeer cookie to her son and smiled widely when she saw that her own cookie was already finished, full of all kind of colors. She cut a small piece and reached her hand towards Seulgi so she could have a little taste, her wife was the number one jury after all. Seulgi didn't hesitate to taste it and whistled at the taste that flooded

"Look at my reindeer, Mommy!" Seungmin raised the cookie in the air that was perfectly decorated. Apparently the hours he spent drawing with Seulgi were already having their first effects. Wendy smiled at the small art piece and took it carefully to show it to Seulgi "I'll save that for later. What can I make for aunt Irene? She doesn't like animals. Oh no! Yerimie doesn't like them either! I can only give a reindeer to Joyie…"

Seulgi let out a chuckle at her little boy's questioning while her other daughter was devouring a new fraction of the Christmas tree-shaped cookie

"You can give them a snowman or a Santa"

"Right! I'll make a snowman for Yerimie and a Santa for aunt Irene! But I have to make it as pretty as her"

Wendy her son's hair and left a kiss on his cheek. He was so kind and caring. Turning her head, she noticed that Seulgi was smiling widely in Sowon's direction who was trying to share some of her cookie with her wife in the midst of babbling and giggling at the exaggerated expressions that Seulgi made to amuse her.

Wendy felt a rush of warm towards her heart


"Look Sowon! Mom is making a snowman!"

Wendy was sitting on the porch of her house with a hot cup of tea in the middle of her hands and the rest of the cookies that were left over by her side on a small plate. The snow had stopped falling about an hour ago and now the whole front yard was filled with a cover similar to cotton.

Sowon was sitting on a piece of grass that wasn't covered in snow since Seungmin previously cleaned it for her, she worked on her own snowman. Seulgi was full of wet spots along her coat after the fierce snowball battle they had a couple of hours ago (a battle that left Wendy exhausted by the way, she had to learn not to react so excited to the games of her little ones). Seungmin gathered as much snow as his hands would allow and handed it to Seulgi who began to shape it.

"Is it ready yet, mom? I'm cold"

"Are you cold? Oh my. Come here, babe I'll give you a big hug, we are just missing the nose"

Seungmin walked to his mother and stretched his arms to be lifted in the air. Sowon got up on the ground and stumbled, copying her brother's actions. Seulgi did her best to place the two of them in her arms while Wendy looked at them with a smile on her face. Those three were going to end up giving her a heart attack from all the amount of tenderness they had and she wondered if feeling so much for her family was okay

Of course it was, it was called love

"Ready, we're done" the snowman reached up to Seulgi's waist, he had small eyes and a twisted smile drawn with a tree branch and said branch also worked as his nose. Sowon clapped when she saw the man and Seungmin made a kind of face that didn't please Seulgi "What's up, baby?"

"He doesn't have a hat"

"That's because he's a bald snowman!"

Sowon let out a laugh and Seungmin soon joined her, even Wendy (who had covered her face with the palm of her hand at Seulgi's answer) was laughing out loud. Seulgi walked back inside the house with both children in her arms

"Poor snowman, mommy," Sowon laughed as she walked slowly towards Wendy, who was waiting for her with outstretched arms "He's bald"

"It's going to be a long time before they get over that, Seulgi" Wendy picked up the little girl and walked inside the house with Seulgi following her closely. "Spring will come before they forget it"

"Is okay... tell me, didn't the bald snowman make you laugh? Or better yet... the bald man"

Wendy closed her eyes after the horrible pun by Seulgi and only went to prepare the bath for the two demons that were already talking in their own language about what Santa Claus would bring them for the next Christmas

Two hours and a messy bath later, the whole family sat in front of the fireplace after the temperature dropped several degrees in the last hour and the heating just started to take effect in the rest of the house. Sowon and Seungmin worked together on a puzzle of small size while Seulgi and Wendy watched from one of the armchairs in the living room, cuddled under a blanket

Suddenly, Seulgi received a call and got up from the chair to answer. Wendy covered herself with the blanket that was folded right next to her, she didn't have to cover herself with anything when her wife was at her side but in her absence she felt very cold. Sowon didn't even flinch at the sound of the phone but Seungmin seemed worried

Wendy couldn't blame him

"Is Mom talking on the phone?"

"It won't be long, she'll come back soon"

Seungmin didn't seem very convinced and looked where Seulgi had gone. She was talking so low that they couldn'thear anything at all. Wendy walked towards her son to try and give him a little more reassurance

When Seungmin was just two years old, in the middle of a Christmas party, Seulgi had received a call from her work saying she needed to go on a trip to Europe for a major job offer. Seulgi spent more than four months away from home and Seungmin, although he was too young to remember, had a constant fear of letting Seulgi go beyond where he could see her.

Seulgi returned a few minutes later with a huge smile on her face while she placed her phone in the back pocket of her pants. Despite her huge smile there were a couple of tears on her face

Wendy was the first to notice

"Seul, what's wrong? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, it is" Seulgi wiped away her tears "Do you remember what we've been looking for for months?"

Wendy brought both hands to and tried to hold back a scream of excitement as she got up at full speed and ran to Seulgi to hug her tight. That which made them so happy was one of their main plans: to have their own house. The house where they lived now was perfect and it was where they had started building everything ... but it wasn't theirs and the rent increased year after year adding to the expenses of their children who were needing more and more not just love and food

Both women had tried to find a way to get their house, no matter what it was. Thanks to Irene, they had managed to find a person willing to sell a house at a price accessible to both, a house that would give them a little more future about what they could give to their children

Seulgi had just received a call that the transaction had been successful and, as soon as they wanted, they could move to their new house.

Seungmin and Sowon watched the scene with happy faces but questioning looks. Wendy had enough courage to look at her children and reach her arms so she could hug them. Both children ran to their mothers and hugged them. Sowon was too small to understand and burst into happiness while Seungmin kept laughing and ranting about how great everything was

Seulgi kissed Wendy's lips lightly in the midst of her excitement

"I love you"

"Do you think I don't?"

Seulgi could only smile

"Well guys," Wendy began. "Let's start writing new letters to Santa telling him we'll change our address"
