Silver Linings

Description

Where Donghae is a single dad who hires a struggling college student Hyukjae as a babysitter to his 9 months old baby girl, Eunhye -- Donghae expected a babysitter not a perfect boy who he'd fall in love with along the way. 

Foreword

Donghae sighed as he tiredly put Eunhye into her cot. It was now getting tiring as his baby began growing everyday, it didn't really help that he was alone on this challenge. His wife, by arrangement, had died after giving birth due to complications. He wasn't inlove with her, but he didn't hate her.

Soojin was beautiful and kind, she knew that Donghae wasn't interested in women and she too had a lover. Yes, the baby wasn't exactly his. But, by law, Eunhye was under his name. He didn't even know how he could reach the real father, and he really didn't mind. Eunhye is a beautiful chubby baby with the softest cheeks and captivating eyes. 

Donghae had grew to love the little one but he really needed help, fast. He sighed as he stretched. He looked at the time; 2:36 am. He hummed, maybe he could sneak in some producing before sleeping? He stepped out of Eunhye's nursery and made his way to his in-house recording studio.

The man tiredly sat down on his swivel chair as he stared blankly at the iPad that glared back at him. Oh, who was he kidding? He didn't have anything right now. He couldn't even figure out a beat or lyric. Donghae frowned, where's inspiration when you need it? He sighed for the nth time as he grabbed his phone and typed out a Wanted Stay In Nanny ad. He closed his eyes and just hoped for a response.

On the other side of Donghae's luxurious Forest Trimmage penthouse was a broke college student's dorm, a raven haired beautiful male name Hyukjae scrolled through his phone for job opportunities for college students like him. Their classes are held online due to the pandemic so it'd be easier to find jobs with flexible hours.

"I need to support myself", he thought with a soft sigh. "This is what happens when you choose to do something you love. You suffer." Hyukjae muttered to himself. He had gone against his parents' will to take up law because he had dreams of becoming a famous singer, so instead of taking up law, he had ran away from home with a little cash on his back and enrolled into SM Voice University.

His eyes suddenly stopped on a recently posted babysitter ad: 

Urgent Hiring: Babysitter for a 9 months old baby. Must be stay in. High salary. Has experience with babies. 
Location: Forest Trimmage

"This is it. A silver lining." Hyukjae said in awe. He knew he had a talent with babies, now he's gonna use it for money. He saved the number in the ad as he planned to call first thing in the morning. 

Hyukjae slept with a big smile on his lips for the first time in months.

Chapter 5: I actually think that... this kinda rushed things up? I mean, it's just too sudden for them... well, idk if it's just me. The confession, the hurtness from hyukjae's like i can't understand that cause yeah maybe donghae want to keep it as anonymous and hyukjae's merely a babysitter at that time. They developed the feeling too fast, but yeah it could happen.
