❝Some of the most beautiful feelings are as small as happy ending of a book and taking care of someone you love.❞

 

 

 

 

 

6:46 am

 

 

 

The sky was shaded in a blue, and emerged with some patches of clouds where the hustle bustle of the people had yet to be seen, and somewhere in the corner of Seoul was a house, a home for the people that was silent like the breeze of the upcoming rain in the garden; the drops of the midnight rain had left its traces on the leaves yet knocked the monsoon month of June with the smell of soil inside. 

 

The door of the backyard was opened for the pleasant smell to seep through and in those moments, a pair of feet had walked around the place, without much noise, known by the fact of some people in the home still gets awake by the sound, but those feet had a little one in the arms and the next second, the tiny feet had grazed the floor with a slight wobble yet firm on it. 

 

"Go, and wake dada up." 

 

The mere whisper of his mother had him nod adorably that seeped a warmth to the heart of the standing being where the three-year old toddler had skipped his steps to the open room of his parents to blink his doe hazel eyes around the room; dimmed by the lamplight that had his tiny lips of pout turn in a delightful smile, as he walked in a slow pace to take a handful of the curtain to side it aside like his small figure followed suit by it with an adorable scrunch of his nose. 

 

A double resemblance of his parents like their habits. 

 

The light of the morning had seeped through the room, and his ears heard the light groan behind him. 

 

"Baby." 

 

He turned around to find his dad's eyes closed, facing his side with a frown and his eyes sparkled like his lips curving up to pace towards him and he stood just in front of him that shaded his face from the light and it eased his frown where he being a newly curious child was observing his moves to let out an adorable giggle with a kiss on his cheek. 

 

"Dada." 

 

Baekhyun's ear perked up by the one of his favorite voice in the morning, how adorable it sounded enough to bring a lazy curve on his lips as his droopy eyes opened with a flutter to greet his little one staring at him with his doe hazel eyes; a beautiful reminder of his two certain people, his daughter, Areum, and his wife, Gayoung and his heart gushed more when he tilted his head cutely. 

 

"Dada." 

 

Oh, his heart swelled with a gush of warmth again. 

 

"Yes, champ." 

 

Baekhyun uttered, raising himself up slightly as within a second, he had taken his little one, his Ha-yoon in his embrace as he laid back to hover his small figure up where Ha-yoon let out a squeal adorably just like back then he was six months old, and a giggle left Baekhyun's lips at his actions to make him sit down on his stomach with his small legs either side of him. 

 

Ha-yoon pouted, his cheeks puffed up and Baekhyun squished it softly. "Why is my champ already awake?" 

 

"Mommy says to wake Dada up." 

 

Baekhyun hummed, his eyes glancing at Gayoung's place beside him to find it empty to meet his adorable eyes again. "Where is mommy?" 

 

"Garden." 

 

"Planting?" 

 

Ha-yoon shook his head to blink. "Sitting." 

 

Baekhyun frowned. "Sitting?" 

 

What's up with his woman again? 

 

"Dada, wake up!" Ha-yoon exclaimed, hitting his tiny fist on his chest and Baekhyun pretended to get hurt that had his little one giggle cutely to hover his figure again as Ha-yoon laughed loudly this time with Baekhyun's giggles emerging together to immediately stand up, Ha-yoon in his arms like his tiny arms around his neck. "Dada is awake now!"

 

Baekhyun kissed his chubby cheek. "Let's wake Noona, and Hyung, and Mongryong up." 

 

"Yes!" 

 

"Yes!" 

 

Both of them giggled together to walk out of the room towards the kids room where Ha-yoon sleeps together with his brother and sister likewise for Mongryong; opening the door, Baekhyun found his little ones sleeping soundly but the mere creak of the noise had Seojun stirred, but Areum was sleeping still, something unchangeable. 

 

Baekhyun couldn't help but smile at the sight, and put Ha-yoon down carefully. "Wake them up till Dada wishes Mama her morning." 

 

Ha-yoon nodded. "Mong too?" 

 

Baekhyun glanced at Mongryong sleeping in his place peacefully to smile. "Mong too." 

 

With a gentle ruffle to his hair softly, Baekhyun walked out of the room without closing the door to stroll towards the backyard, and his steps halted by the door frame as his eyes stopped at his wife, there she was, Gayoung, in his white-shirt, and pajamas with her hair in a ponytail while seated on a mat in a cross-legged position underneath with her hands on her knees and her eyes closed. 

 

He frowned at the sight, and with a brush of his messy hair, he had walked to her as for a moment he stood over her figure with his hands into his pajama pockets; she could have heard him approaching without making his steps aloud for now but no movement. 

 

"Baby," 

 

He uttered out softly, his voice slightly husky in the morning yet he got nothing, not even a hint of furrow on her face as if she was focused in whatever she was doing and his lips curved in a soft, but a playful smile as the next minute, he was seated before her in the same position as their knees grazed with a soft contact and he placed his elbow on his knee to have his fingers graze his lips as he stared at her softly. 

 

His soft stare began to adore her features slowly from her closed eyes to her nose to the the apple of her cheeks to glance at her lips and his heart warmed, like the first time it did, and he still question himself sometimes that even after years of their marriage; five years to be precise, she still manages to make him feel pleasantly warm just by looking at her. 

 

Then again, she was his Gayoung for him. 

 

His eyes lit up the moment he noticed the crimson shade taking over her cheeks as if she had been sensing his gaze, well, she does and found a hint of frown forming between her eyebrows that had him smile again as the next thing he had leaned in, and pressed his lips on her forehead warmly. 

 

"Good morning, baby." 

 

He whispered against her skin and leaned back only a bit as their nose brushed, yet she didn't react or tried not to as a playful smile curled his lips again to palm the back of her head under her ponytail with a slow brush to her earlobe of his thumb, and she frowned that he kissed it away to trail his lips to her warm cheekbone for a moment and leaned back to find her pressing her lips together and with a smile, he had pressed his lips on hers softly. 

 

She had frozen yet relaxed against him as he mumbled against her lips. "Aren't you going to wish me morning, baby?" 

 

And a soft peck again; twice, and her eyes flew open sharply with a hard slap on his arm. 

 

"Baekhyun!" 

 

He leaned back with a hiss. "Gayoung!" 

 

Gayoung glared at his unfazed look as he rubbed his arm. "What were you doing?" 

 

"Giving you morning kisses, baby." 

 

She huffed. "I was trying to focus and you ruined it!" 

 

Baekhyun frowned. "Focus what?" 

 

She gave him a look, "Granny told me to practice yoga for a focused and calm mind, and steady health," She made a whiny pucker of lips at him. "But you ruined it all!" 

 

Baekhyun chuckled, reaching out to knock her forehead softly with a quick brush through her bangs as her nose scrunched. "You have got me and our little ones for a healthy life, baby." 

 

"What will my brain's doctor do for my health?" 

 

He rolled his eyes. "Neurosurgeon." 

 

"It's the same." 

 

"It's equal to being a homey doctor." He shrugged, before tilting his head with a teasing smile. "And you should just keep your focus on me, and I'll take care of your healthy life, baby." 

 

Gayoung's cheeks warmed at his words, and his smile as her head shook with her blushy smile. "You're such a-" 

 

"Baekhyun, I know, baby." He nodded, smiling and Gayoung leaned in, her lips pressed on his forehead softly as he smiled to meet her eyes softly. "Good morning, doctor."

 

He hummed, his eyes boring into hers in adoration. "It is a beautiful morning." 

 

"Mommy!"

 

"Dad!" 

 

Baekhyun and Gayoung looked at the direction of the living room and found their little ones coming to them in their running selves; in their pajamas as the first one was Mongryong, then Seojun with his toothy smile and polaroid camera in his hands as he had come to like taking photos where Baekhyun good at spoiling had bought it for him and behind him were Areum holding Ha-yoon's hand. 

 

"And there we have our healthy life." 

 

Baekhyun mumbled, his heart soft at the sight to meet Gayoung's eyes; soft as she nodded to look at her little beans with a smile. "The healthiest life." 

 

"Mommy, champ sat on me!" 

 

Seojun pouted, his hair messy and Gayoung frowned. "Why?" 

 

"Because Areum said so!" 

 

"Because you had to wake up, silly!"

 

Seojun felt a light slap on his back and instantly whined. "Dad!" 

 

"Okay, stop fighting the first thing in the morning." 

 

Baekhyun stated, as he patted Mongryong gently to find Seojun seated beside him as he kissed his head where Areum had found herself beside her mother with Ha-yoon on Gayoung's lap to kiss his cheek multiple times like her always thing; her lips had kissed Areum's forehead where she looked at Seojun to find the dad and son busy in the talks about the Polaroid and the little lady, and the head woman of the house had shook their heads together. 

 

"Did you take another picture again, Jun-ah?" 

 

Areum asked, and Seojun nodded, giving her the Polaroid picture where Gayoung gasped to find Areum's picture in her sleepy face like Areum did to narrow her eyes. "Why would you take my picture?" 

 

Seojun giggled. "Because it's funny." 

 

Baekhyun frowned, and looked at the picture to smile. "My princess is still beautiful no matter what."

 

Areum pouted. "Dad!" 

 

Baekhyun pouted back. "It's true." 

 

Ha-yoon watching the interaction with curiosity had his lips pouted too that Gayoung's heart had gushed to kiss his cheek again as his nose scrunched with a giggle where Seojun took a picture of it and Baekhyun gave him an approving nod, where Mongryong had taken a rubber ball from the fort to give Ha-yoon who was quick to play with him until he stood up and ran around his parents with his adorable giggles as Mongryong chased him. 

 

Baekhyun and Gayoung had to laugh at the sight where Areum leaned her head against Gayoung with her laugh where Seojun had took this chance to take pictures until Ha-yoon had stumbled over but Baekhyun was quick to hold him yet got himself stumbled back as he fell back with a giggling Ha-yoon and Areum, along with Seojun had jumped over their dad while Gayoung was laughing at the sight, and took a beautiful picture of her home in the Polaroid for a frame. 

 

And this frame picture was going to be attached with the other homely moments frames on the wall of their living room. 

 

Not long before, the little ones were ready to go to school as they were seated on the stool by the kitchen while Mongryong having his own breakfast along with Ha-yoon, to be at his daycare, as both Baekhyun and Gayoung had to be at their respective works where both were first contemplating about it, like it had happened during Seojun and Areum time but given their jobs, both had to compromise a bit but their guards had been on a radar since Ha-yoon was still three years old with a growing mind, and body so they didn't want to take any risks regarding him. 

 

Protective parents could be said yet whipped ones for their little ones. 

 

"And it goes down in my cherry's tummy." 

 

Gayoung sang in an enthusiastic way before shoving the small spoon in his mouth of his breakfast and Ha-yoon chewed it well with his nose scrunching at it where Gayoung's heart softened at the sight to kiss his chubby cheek.

 

"My baby is so adorable like his mommy." 

 

"Mommy, cherry takes after me." 

 

Seojun grinned at him and Ha-yoon showed his little toothy smile that resembled Seojun where Areum popped her head behind Seojun since she was seated beside him to smile at her little brother. "But Yoon's favorite is Areum Noona, right?" 

 

Ha-yoon nodded, after gobbling another spoonful. "Yes!" 

 

Seojun pouted. "But I take your pictures!"

 

"But he holds my hand." 

 

"He hugs me more." 

 

Gayoung tilted her head, unable to decide how she should react to this sight, nothing new happening from the past three years but so adorable to melt at it as she chose to smile before faking a stern look. "Mommy's little beans." 

 

"Yes, mommy." 

 

And three of them had answered together and her heart gushed to smile. "Let's finish the breakfast or dad is going to nag again." 

 

Gayoung made a funny face and the three of them giggled as she followed suit, but someone had a fond smile at the sight, the head man of the house, Baekhyun to be said, leaning on his shoulder by the door frame of their room in his long-sleeved black shirt, accentuated with a black cargo pants matched with his sneakers while his hair up where his eyes stared at his favorite people with a warm smile and his home, his wife to be said, Gayoung to be precise as he couldn't help but feel blessed again. 

 

"So all of you are ganging up on dad again." 

 

Gayoung glanced at Baekhyun to find him already coming to her and her eyes noticed his dressed self for a moment until he was standing in front of her with a teasing glint in his eyes to lean in, his lips against her ear brushing her earlobe purposely. "Are you checking me out, baby?" 

 

Her cheeks warmed, and he brushed past her and Gayoung's eyes squinted at his smiling self as he stood beside her behind the counter. "Are you on your way to flaunt good looks, doctor?" 

 

Baekhyun tilted his head, a playful smirk on his lips to check her out openly in her black wrapped style top matched with a high waist blue jeans while her hair in a high ponytail, and he couldn't help but admire her, something that haven't changed in the years, nor it should to meet her eyes with a impressive nod. "Not bad, baby." 

 

Gayoung had to look away with her blushy smile and Baekhyun chuckled, patting her back softly. 

 

Areum and Seojun looked at each other with a done look, they had been seeing this behavior of their parents from years now to feel shy themselves as before they would enjoy it with a smile, and they still do feel happy and delighted to see them being so in love like this but as they had been growing up, things like these made them shy now. 

 

Ha-yoon couldn't relate to it because he was a curious child just like they were years ago as he watched his parents being close with innocent, yet adoring eyes. 

 

"Dada." 

 

Baekhyun instantly leaned forward on the counter to smile at him. "Yes, champ." 

 

And continued to place a fresh pancake in in Areum's plate as he tried to cut into pieces only for her to frown at him and Baekhyun made a face at her to get the same look where Seojun giggled, and Baekhyun wiped his lips with a funny face to shove his half-bitten pancake piece in Gayoung's mouth as she was busy feeding Ha-yoon who munched to ask. 

 

"Why am I cherry?" 

 

Gayoung blinked, and met Baekhyun's blank stare like her where Areum uttered. "Because mommy loved cherries when you were in the tummy." 

 

Seojun's eyes rounded. "And you moved too." 

 

Baekhyun closed his eyes. "You can't tell him like that, Jun-ah." 

 

Ha-yoon blinked adorably at them, clearly not understanding to pout. "Mommy." 

 

Gayoung's heart melted. "Yes, cherry." 

 

"Why are you, baby?"

 

Oh, his little curious questions. 

 

"Dada will answer that." 

 

Baekhyun immediately looked at Gayoung who shrugged, playfully and he nodded, still munching to knock her forehead softly like always as he met Ha-yoon's curious doe eyes. "Because," He trailed off, meeting Gayoung's eyes playfully who shook her head in a warning to not do anything funny as he grinned to kiss her cheek. "Dada adores mommy." 

 

"Dad, stop kissing mommy all the time!" 

 

Areum whined, and Baekhyun gasped dramatically. "How mean." 

 

"You are silly, dad." 

 

Seojun laughed, and Baekhyun ruffled his hair as he whined to have Areum giggle where Ha-yoon smiled at it and Gayoung chuckled, shaking her head at the sight as Mongryong seemed to be having the done look; the usual sight of her home.

 

Soon enough, Gayoung walked in the room to grab her purse from the bed before standing in front of the mirror to check her look as she quickly wrapped the wristwatch around her wrist but was having a hard time fastening it as her eyes glared at it with a huff since she was already getting late as the kids were waiting in the living room for her. 

 

Another huff, and her hand was taken in a hold gently with a slow turn of her figure to find Baekhyun towering her figure, and his eyes on the task like his hands with a focused look as their foreheads almost brushed but Gayoung couldn't help but stare at him with her adoring eyes like her smile. 

 

"You're staring, baby." 

 

He uttered, softly as he was done with the task to meet her eyes and Gayoung shrugged, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm staring at my husband, who's looking hot right now for me not to stare." 

 

And his heart warmed yet again, as he was quick to wrap his arms around her waist with a tilt of his head. "Now you're flirting, baby."

 

"So?" 

 

"So," He trailed off, pulling her closer to him as her arms tightened and his forehead against hers softly with a brush to her nose. "It won't end up with just flirting, baby." 

 

"Well, who's stopping you?"

 

"Who can stop me?"

 

Gayoung smiled, and felt his lips on her forehead as her eyes closed with a warm feeling, something that never left like it wasn't supposed to, before he kissed her nose that she had giggled it off, to meet his eyes, always gentle, and adoring for her to feel his lips against hers softly in a warm, and gentle kiss. 

 

"Dad!" 

 

And both of them had leaned back in a startle to look at each other with a pout as he bumped his forehead against hers yet her clumsy self had to do it hard as Baekhyun hissed only to feel Gayoung massaging her forehead with a chuckle. "Are you okay?" 

 

"Of course, I'm in a rise and shine after your countless attempts to open up my head, baby." 

 

Gayoung gave him a look. "Done?" 

 

He chuckled. "No." 

 

"But we don't have time for this so we'll continue later." 

 

She stepped back only to feel the tug in her watch by the thread of his shirt from the neckline and both of them looked at each other with a sigh but Baekhyun smiled. "Thank goodness, it's not my watch this time." 

 

Gayoung mimicked him and earned a poke on her waist from him as she gave him a look to feel him holding her tightly with a twirl as she held onto him with a confused look to find him taking a place on the chair of the dressing table with her on his lap as he held her close for her to untangle where Gayoung was already on the task to feel his warmth on the curve of her neck and ear that seemed to be sending a fluttering warmth into her system. 

 

His hand on her thigh with a firm hold didn't help either like his eyes gazing at her softly to feel his fingers tucking her hair behind her ear brushing his thumb deliberately on her earlobe where she glared at him and him being unfazed, had to smile. "How do you still get ticklish here, baby?" 

 

"I don't know, Baek." Gayoung's lips puckered as the untangling task seemed difficult at the moment to feel him kissing her cheek softly to her jawline and her lips heaved a sigh. "Seriously, stop." 

 

"What if I don't, baby?" 

 

Baekhyun whispered, against her ear as he tightened his hold to feel his lips pressed on the curve of her neck, as he snuggled against it but had a chuckle at her words. "I'm going to smack your head, doctor." 

 

He leaned back with a teasing look. "And how would you do that, baby?" 

 

Gayoung nodded, smiling before standing up after successfully untangling to ruffle his combed hair. "Like this." 

 

The next moment, she was already running outside with her soft laughter as Baekhyun huffed, combing his hair back again to listen to the chaos of the kids outside, including his wife had him chuckle before his eyes caught her phone on the study table and with a sigh, he grabbed it to walk to his people with a shake of his head. 

 

"This forgetful woman." 

 

And something just doesn't change because it was supposed to stay unchanged for a lifetime.

4:12 pm 

 

 

 

The familiar building of the hospital was in the same chaos of the usual happening inside, the doctors on their duties doing their hard work as the ER room was filled with those chaos where one of hard working being was Lee Woo-Jin, checking his one of the patient while his senior, Zhang Yixing was called to check on the emergency patient that seemed to be having a problem regarding his heart where two of his senior doctors had left to perform an emergency surgery. 

 

Baekhyun and Junmyeon had walked out of the operation room with a nod towards each other for performing the surgery well, with a success as Junmyeon heaved a sigh. "It took longer than expected." 

 

Baekhyun hummed, ruffling his hair up to glance at him and found a tired look on his face. "You look tired." 

 

Junmyeon nodded, cracking his neck side to side. "Well, it is a time when women have it hard and I should be there for Yoora as much as possible." 

 

Yoora was pregnant, her third trimester had begun and that was the reason she wasn't in the hospital for her duties as she had taken a maternal leave, Junmyeon was doing his best to be by her side considering the amount of difficult yet a memorable phase it is for them, they were happy and living in it. 

 

Baekhyun nodded. "I can relate to it." 

 

He still remembers the time of welcoming Ha-yoon in their life, the time of Gayoung's tantrums, mood swings, her adorableness though she still is, but that time had something more and he still remembers the time of her painful cries with a little Ha-yoon in their arms, and those were one of the best memories of theirs. 

 

"Then, I'll see you at the event." 

 

Junmyeon had walked away with a pat on Baekhyun's shoulder to which he nodded, it was Yoora's baby shower event in the evening before Baekhyun had walked to the locker room to change his clothes since his duty was over earlier and he had to pick up his family. 

 

The next thing Baekhyun was already driving through the damp roads as it had rained a while ago while he let the breeze, and the smell of fresh soil seep through the slided window of his car and a soft smile on his lips at the weather, somehow he could picture Gayoung's lit up eyes at the rain, and his heart warmed to have his smile widened before rounding the corner until he had pulled over by the daycare as it was time to pick up Ha-yoon that either Dodo or Young-MI does because of their schedules but it was not at the moment. 

 

The moment he had stepped out, he was already standing by the gate to watch the little kids going to their parents where his eyes had spotted his little one, holding one of his teachers hand as he was having a conversation but how his heart gushed at the way his lips were pouty as if something serious for him at this age that had him chuckle before he crossed the lane inside. 

 

"Hey, champ!" 

 

He watched Ha-yoon's doe hazel eyes looking around in confusion but rounded like his certain someone to smile. "Dada!" 

 

The next thing he had detached his small hand from his teacher to jog adorably towards his dad and Baekhyun slightly gasped. "Slow down." 

 

But who was he kidding? He was his and Gayoung's son for a reason. 

 

The next moment, Baekhyun crouched down to have Ha-yoon engulf him in a hug with his happy giggles, sending giddiness in his heart to smile to immediately picked him up in his hold like he had hold his neck with his small arms and Baekhyun gave him a smile. "Don't you take after mommy more?" 

 

Ha-yoon giggled. "Yes." 

 

"Yes?" 

 

"No." 

 

Baekhyun chuckled, kissing his cheek softly with a raise of his eyebrows. "Shall we pick up everyone?" 

 

"Yes!" 

 

"Yes!" 

 

Baekhyun imitated him to walk to his car with a giggling Ha-yoon in his embrace until they were seated in the car, and their little conversation happening till they had reached Gayoung's university as Baekhyun was quick to hold Ha-yoon again to walk down the hallway of the university. 

 

"Oh my goodness, Yoon!" 

 

Baekhyun instantly turned to the familiar voice to find Soo-Ah walking to their direction with a smile and Baekhyun slightly smiled at her with Ha-yoon waving at her where Soo-Ah squished his cheeks. "Hey, little man." 

 

"Hi, Soo." 

 

"Aunt." Baekhyun pressed, correcting him and Soo-Ah chuckled. "Let it be, it's better than being called Soo-Soo." 

 

She still remembers when he had taken her name which felt difficult for him and ended up calling her Soo-Soo that went for a while till he was able to call her Soo, but he still wasn't calling her husband, Yixing, correctly as Yixing was being called Xing-Xing. 

 

"Where is ba- I mean, Gayoung?" 

 

Baekhyun bit his lip, and Soo-Ah smiled, pinching Ha-yoon's cheek. "She's done with her work, so you might find her here in a few." 

 

Baekhyun nodded, before she walked away since she had to check on one of the students in her infirmary not before giving her love to Ha-yoon and Baekhyun watched her back disappearing as he began to walk down the hallway again while being greeted from the familiar faces as it was not the first time of him being here to pick up his professor wife, and that came too with Ha-yoon's visits as he had gotten adores from here, and it was difficult to not to adore this little one. 

 

And soon enough, Baekhyun was surrounded by the students with Ha-yoon being handed a choco-pie in his hands with a smile. 

 

Gayoung walked down the hallway after finishing off her work, as she slid her purse on her shoulder properly but stopped to glance at the sudden commotion of students as she frowned with a concern only to notice her two men in the crowd where her husband was surrounded by half female students and her son in his arms who was enjoying the adores he was getting from them but she could notice the adores were being given to her husband as well. 

 

A scoff left her lips as her eyes squinting until Baekhyun looked around to meet her eyes with a lit up glint as he smiled, immediately having Ha-yoon to follow his instructions and the next second, Gayoung had greeted her two men smiling happily at her. 

 

Ha-yoon's hand waved towards her. "Mommy!" 

 

And she had to clutch her heart at how she melted against it but the clueless beings of her men just watched her being confused until Gayoung had walked up to them where the students left with a bid bye to Ha-yoon. 

 

"What's happening?" 

 

"We wanted to honor Queen Gayoung with our presences." Baekhyun stated, tilting his head with a playful smile and Gayoung mimicked him. "Very funny." 

 

"We have to pick up Areum and Seojun too." 

 

Gayoung nodded. "Right." 

 

"Shall we go, baby?" 

 

Baekhyun held out his hand, and Gayoung smiled, her palm sliding through his with a warm grasp as they walked down the hallway together with Ha-yoon in Baekhyun's hold as he munched the choco-pie adorably yet messily that Gayoung was cleaning it up from seconds to seconds while Baekhyun teasing her of how Ha-yoon has taken this action inherited from her. 

 

"I'm not that messy, doctor." 

 

"Not that, but you are, professor." 

 

Baekhyun chuckled, as they crossed the gate, not before shooting a quick greeting to Ji-hu who was on the way to send a flying kiss towards Ha-yoon that had them laughing as Gayoung opened the door of the car to sit inside as she placed Ha-yoon on her lap before feeling Baekhyun leaning over to buckle her seatbelt before kissing her lips sneakily. 

 

"And you're my mess, anyway." 

 

Gayoung's eyes squinted. "Cheeky much?" 

 

He grinned, kissing her forehead. "Loving much." 

 

The next moment, he closed the door with a soft brush to her bangs and Gayoung smiled, her eyes following his figure while she kissed Ha-yoon's head to laugh at his messy look greeting her eyes innocently and Baekhyun had taken his place to laugh along. 

 

Indeed, they were a mess but theirs.

7:03 pm 

 

 

 

"Mommy, I want my black t-shirt!" 

 

The familiar home had echoed a familiar exclamation startling the beings in the house and in the same kids room as Gayoung was combing Areum's hair who was seated still on the small chair with Ha-yoon seated on his bed, ready in his black shirt and pants while Seojun seems to be wanting the same shirt as he stood in his white one but with a pout. 

 

Gayoung frowned. "You whined about wearing the white one and now you're crying over the black one, choose one thing, Spider-Man."

 

"He's still silly."

 

Areum sighed in a dramatic way as Gayoung pressed her lips at it but Areum had giggled as her mother's followed suit, where Seojun pouted again. "Mommy!" 

 

"Yes, my Jun-ah?" 

 

"I want to match with cherry." 

 

Ha-yoon looked up at him while his throwing away the ball towards Mongryong who went to get it back for him and Seojun made a funny face to make him giggle and Gayoung chuckled, before straightening Areum's baby blue colored dress with a cute ponytail as she gave her mother a twirl. "How do I look, mommy?" 

 

Gayoung cupped . "So beautiful." 

 

Areum giggled, shyly to give another twirl to Ha-yoon who clapped as if she was having a dance that had Gayoung giggle to let them be before approaching Seojun with a ruffle to his hair softly and he whined again like her certain person, Baekhyun to be said and as if her mind had thought of him, he had walked in the room with his soft steps. 

 

Gayoung stared at him for a moment, taking his attired self in her eyes as he wore a blue button-down tucked in his black pants with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows as his rolex watch displayed perfectly and his hair up in a style but Gayoung couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. 

 

Her husband surely was a sight to behold. 

 

"Are my babies ready yet?" 

 

He glanced at his little ones to meet Gayoung's dazed eyes already looking at him with his beautiful smile as he tilted his head, he could see the softness in her eyes for him and his heart warmed to step closer to her where Gayoung snapped out, her cheeks warmed to look down at herself as she had yet to get ready and frowned at him. 

 

"You look beautiful, baby." 

 

And he had uttered much softly like he meant his words and Gayoung shook her head with a smile to look at their whiny Seojun who was pouting and Baekhyun was imitating him to grab his black shirt as he was standing in one with a smile where Baekhyun combed his hair softly to look at Gayoung who had a soft smile towards them as Seojun was already Areum and Ha-yoon's side.

Chapter 17: Awww... finally they fall in love with each other and that fact hit them so hardly... it's really hard for them to accept it, confess it directly, to give in to the fact and move on with the love flow..it's understandable...the angsty part was well written..I also almost teared up while reading..TT TT TT TT... but glad that atleast they now know their own feelings and hope they give in to the feelings and confess to each other... totally agree with the couple's family and friends'... they need to take that second chance despite their own fears.... anticipating for their confession and relationship next step... Also I really loved their beach moment..one of my favorite... also that main incident that was scary but atleast it made them realize their real feelings, emotions and thoughts about each other...
