as the night approaches its end, their friends left the kim's house with satisfaction of being able to see chaewon after a very long time. while the latter was sending her guests away, the married couple stayed in the living room as the lad felt his head spinning with his wife tending to him.

"i told you what you had a while ago is enough, did you really have to finish three bottles of bourbon with those two idiots? it's a good thing that eunbi unnie and yuri can drive." minjoo scolded her husband who has his body lain on the couch, head facing their kids who couldn't say goodbye to their playmates, especially yujin to wonyoung.

"one bottle per idiot, am i right?" saku laughs, finding the circumstances kind of funny which only made the lass before him mentally faceplam herself for his nonsense humor.

"have i ever told you how beautiful you are?" the lad blabbered out of the blue, causing a blush to form on his wife's cheeks. he chuckled seeing that and pulled her closer, now the younger was leaning her chest against his, looking up straight into her lover's brown pool that holds mysterious gazes.

"you're like an epitome of an angel." he said, eyes drawn to that of the beauty. the japanese brought his hand to her face to caress her cheeks softly as his gaze landed on her pink, parted lips.

"mommy can auntie chaewon read us bed time stories?" their moment was disrupted when the lass felt two kids tugging the hem of her shirt. she swiftly pulled away from their close proximity and gave her children a nod.

"just don't give auntie a hard time tucking you to bed, okay? especially you miyawaki yujin." minjoo said then gave them a kiss on their forehead before thanking her sister. as she was watching three frames go upstairs, the lad has his on the short haired girl. he exhaled a sigh before groggily standing up to grab another bottle of bourbon.

"and you're still drinking why?" the brunette abruptly snatched the glass of whiskey away from the guy and drank it in one go, scrunching her facial structure as she felt the bitterness of the drink.

"yah you don't drink alcohol and you shouldn't be drinking because you have low tolerance." the other argued, displeased with his wife's bold actions. he pulled her closer, hands placed on her waist as he gave her a glass of soda to overpower the bitter taste.

"with everything that's been going on, i deserve a drink don't you think?" the beauty chuckled but sighed afterwards. saku has been acting a bit strange and clingy for the past few hours, she figured it must be the effects of the alcohol.

"why didn't you just love someone else? chaewon and i dated for almost four years, you were in love with me from the very beginning up until now. why me? why love someone undeserving of your love?" the brown haired guy asked, tightening his grip on her waist as he leaned his head on her shoulder.

"because i can't. believe me i tried, but this stupid heart of mine just wouldn't stop loving you. i can't teach it who to love, it just happens you know? it doesn't matter if you're in love with chaewon unnie, i will still love you from afar no matter what." hearing those only made him more emotional, being the impulsive person that he is, saku crashed his lips against his wife's velvety ones. the latter was caught off-guard, but as she felt a familiar object scraping her lower lip, she moaned due to the contact and opened .

the older plunged his tongue inside, they fought for dominance as the lad hauled his wife up, placing her on top of his lap. feeling the lack of oxygen, they regretfully broke their contact and rested their foreheads against each other's while panting.

"let's sleep?" the brown haired guy asked while staring deep into the orbs of the girl in front of him who answered with a nod. she got down from sitting on his lap and hastily headed to their room, oddly, instead of the alcohol, she felt drunk because of the ever so caring kiss that she and her husband shared that she tripped lightly as she was on her way.

her heart dropped from shock and she expected to land on the floor, face flat however the beauty felt a pair of masculine arms enveloping her body, preventing the accident from happening.

"you had one drink min, one drink." the young lad chuckles as he guided his wife upstairs. the pair opened the door to their room, expecting to see their kids only to be greeted with an empty room. with that, minjoo faced the door behind her to knock. immediately, the room opened revealing the fairy already in her sleeping attire.

"oh hey i was just about to tell you that nako and yujin insisted sleeping in my room, is that okay?" the latter asked after regaining herself from shock as she avoided to lock eyes with her ex, simultaneously, the kids ran towards their parents upon seeing their frames from inside the room.

"these two are quite handful, are you sure you can handle them?" with that, the siblings' looked at their auntie with their eyes forming a crescent like that of their mother's and the latter couldn't help but laugh at her cute niece and nephew.

"i'll try?"

"daddy i found your picture! come here i'll show you." all of a sudden, the pup-like boy dragged his father inside the room followed by his sister which caught everyone off-guard. he might be small but damn is he strong. entering the familiar room with the familiar scent surrounding him, he couldn't help but remember every memory he and chaewon had in this room.

"and you're with auntie chaewon look!" yujin showed him the frame placed on the bedside table, indeed, it was him and his former lover. his left arm was on her waist, right hand holding his diploma as he leaned forward and the other has both her arms on his nape.

the brown haired guy remembered it was during their graduation, chaewon came to their school to attend her sister and lover's graduation. before the picture was taken, the two of them are goofing around with each other. they were surprised as they saw the flash of the camera but nevertheless, it still captured the beautiful memory perfectly. ironically, that was also the last day that he ever saw chaewon until this day.

"this is you with uncle yehan and hyeseok!" as saku was lost in his own thoughts, he didn't realize that his children have pulled out a couple of photo albums placed beside chaewon's bed.

"look mommy and auntie's hair is pink." the lad along with his two kids go through every photos, and each of them brings a memory back to his mind. meanwhile, the other two siblings watched the trio with mixed feelings.

every flip of a page, he and chaewon are always together. one couldn't deny that their eyes held so much love deep within those orbs. after a short while, the short haired girl noticed that the japanese is being overwhelmed with so much memory and emotions. with that, she nudged the younger's side and motioned her to cut the reminiscing to which she did.

"honey it's way past your bedtime, it's time to sleep and daddy is exhausted." the lass announced, earning a dejected reaction from the kids, disappointed that the night has come to an end.

"daddy sleep here with us in auntie's room." yujin then blurted out of the blue, shocking the three adults as well as causing an awkward tension between them and the uncomfort
