Listen to: Joah by Jay Park

Meanwhile at Casa Arianna:

“Ace Wu, come here.” Arianna tapped the empty seat beside her.

“Why mommy? Am I in trouble?” He asked.

“No you aren’t. Now come on, sit with me and talk. Leave Ling alone because she has to take her nap.” Arianna carried the small plushie and dropped him down beside her. The cat on the far side of the apartment slept comfortably on the carpeted floor.

“So mom what would you like to talk about?”

“Stuff.”

“Like what?”

“How are you and Kris getting along?”

“We get along pretty fine. He loves me so much. Thanks for giving me to him mom.” Ace hugged his mother.

“Hey, but remember. I love you as well. Even if you’re just a plush toy, you’re a plush toy that could talk, feel, scream, and love. And mommy loves you.”

“Thanks mom. But you love daddy to right?” Ace asked with a hopeful expression.

“Well,” Arianna let out a chuckle. “It’s like…”

As she was going to answer the question, her cellphone beeped. It was Kris.

“Wait it’s your dad.” Arianna slid her finger across the screen.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

“Why the firetruck would he ask me this?” Arianna pondered. “Ace, go to my bedroom and play with my Anime figures for a while, Mommy will play with you later. I just have to knock some sense into your dad’s brain first.”

“Okay mom. Why does daddy need some brain-knocking?”

“Love at first sight and all that jazz.”

“Okay.” Ace was all hoity-toity when he got into his mom’s room.

Not really. No.

She texted back.

Why wouldn’t you?

I just don’t want to. It’s immature and delusional.

Then that means I’m immature and delusional.

Why? Are you in love?

Yes.

With whom?

Arianna felt a slight tingle where her chest should be.

A girl.

Of course it’s a girl. Why couldn’t it be Tao?

She laughed at her own joke.

Kris chuckles as soon as he reads the message.

I’m not gay. Well, do you think I am?

He replied nervously.

No. Haha, I can’t believe you actually fell for that. So, who’s this “girl”?

Just someone.

Arianna felt a sense of urgency. Out of the blue, she replied.

It’s me isn’t it?

“. She knows” Kris muttered.

No it’s not.

Then who is it?

Okay I give up. It’s you.

“I knew it.” Arianna smiled.

Oh like that Super Junior song. Neorago~

Stop fangirling. I’m serious. I think I’m falling.

Don’t fall too fast Kris. I may not be able to catch you.

“Ouch.” Kris whined. “Hyung, what is it?” Bacon asked. “Nothing, just keep practicing your vocals. I’ll join you later.”

Well that hurt Mommy.

It has to hurt Daddy Kris. Not everything is going to come your way.

Well I don’t care about everything else. I just want you to come my way.

“This guy.”

Stop being all cheesy Kris. This isn’t love.

It is really. My heart beats faster when I see you.

It’s just an initial reaction. Dude, remember a time when you got in trouble and you see your mother, your heart speeds up a million times faster than your normal. It’s just that you’re nervous or something. It’s just an emotion.

Yeah. Love.

Look, Kris let me ask you. What is love?

An EXO song.

Oh come on.

Girl, I can’t explain what I feel.
Oh baby my baby, baby, baby, baby... Yeah.

Making a day feel like a minute
With you, I’m the main character of a movie
As if I’m about to film an action scene to come see you,
as if I’ve become a hero

You’re perfect to me, I imagined
how would it be if we were together?
If only you say okay, everything is perfect, oh baby

I lost my mind, the moment I saw you
Except you, everything get in slow motion
Tell me, if this is love
Sharing and learning countless emotions every day with you
Fighting, crying and hugging
Tell me, if this is love

All the guys in the world are jealous of me
They must be jealous to death of me, for having you
Even after the sun goes down and moon goes down, it will never change
You will find out that I’m a guy whom you can trust

I don’t know why, this unconditional emotion
did I ever imagine?
Next to me, you shine more brightly as I become a better guy

I lost my mind, the moment I saw you
except you, everything get in slow motion
Tell me, if this is love
Sharing and learning countless emotions every day with you
Fighting, crying and hugging
Tell me, if this is love

If you wish and wish earnestly
will it come true, like the fairytales?
A never-ending happy ending, happily ever after
I will trust you, protect you and comfort you
I will be on your side
I will never leave your side

I lost my mind, the moment I saw you
except you, everything get in slow motion
Tell me, if this is love
Sharing and learning countless emotions every day with you
Fighting, crying and hugging
Tell me, if this is love

All the guys in the world are jealous of me
They must be jealous to death of me, for having you
My babe, baby babe, baby baby
I can tell, this is love
I will make you smile often like a child
I will make you feel the most comfortable, like a friend
My babe, baby babe, baby baby
Tell me, what is love.

Did you just send me a frickin translation of What Is Love? I meant what is love for you, you . And I AM NOT YOUR BABE, BABY, OR ANY OTHER GROSS PUKE-INDUCING PET NAME.

Well it perfectly describes what I am feeling right now.

How mediocre. Love sickness.

I’m serious.

Well, how serious?

The moment I first saw you, I fell in love.

At the airport.

Not really. After that, at the cosplay con.

Then it isn’t love at first sight. Case closed Mr. Wu.

No, it’s not case closed Miss Kwon, case still open.

What now Kris?

I love you.

Sure you do.

Well stay that way but I love you. Don’t you love me? Aren’t I your bias?

Yeah, before you acted all lovey-dovey and .

But you love me right?

As a bias. And Ace & Ling’s father.

Well that’s enough for me. I love you Miss Kwon.

Okay Mr. Wu.

Say I love you too?

I love me too.

Seriously.

Okay, I love you too you bish-faced Daddy.

Yes! You love me! That’s enough! Thanks!

Stop fanboying Mr. Wu.

Okay, by the way, what’s Ace up to? Oh and Ling too.

Ling’s asleep, Ace is playing with my Anime figures.

Okay. Better get back to practice. I love you.

Okay Wu. What time are you coming home?

Oh we sound like a married couple. Maybe five or six.

Okay. Just in time for dinner. Would you go with me to my house? My mom invited me for dinner. I want to bring you along.

Yay! We really sound like a married couple now. Oh yeah, what are you going to introduce me as to your family? A friend? Husband? Father of your child?

My boyfriend.

Srsly O.O

Yes seriously. But you aren’t really my boyfriend.

Yet.

Okay. Yet. It’s just a front. Make yourself decent okay?

Of course. Anything for Mommy. Saranghae.

Wo Ai Ni Mr. Wu.

Arianna sighed.  His brain is impervious to knocking.
