Foreword
Concept of the story inspired from ‘Definitely, Maybe’ (the movie).
Title inspired from ‘How I Met Your Mother’.
“Daddy, why aren’t you talking to Papa anymore?” A soft voice interrupted Sehun as he was undoing his tie. The silk fabric felt good against his fingers. He had just returned from his office. It was finally Christmas holidays and Sehun was happy that he would get to spend a little more time with his daughter. Letting out an inaudible sigh, he turned towards his only child only to notice her jutting her lower lip out in a pout.
“Haera, what makes you think I am not talking to him?” He asked with a small smile. He wanted to take a shower but decided it could wait. He had to attend to his daughter's questioning first. He couldn’t possibly tell her that they were getting a divorce. Or maybe he didn’t have the courage to. It was decided that both the fathers would sit together with their daughter like a small family meeting and then reveal the news to her.
It had been 12 years since their marriage. Even though Sehun loved his husband, he knew they were better off without each other. Lately things had been pretty rocky for them which resulted in Sehun barely talking to his husband. He should have known their daughter would notice soon enough. She was getting older and smarter.
Haera puffed her cheeks. Sehun chuckled at the cuteness of the little girl. She was sitting on a table with a bowl of untouched cereal in front of her.
He ruffled her brown hair and received a whine in return. “I am a big girl now, you need to stop doing that,” she complained.
“Big girl? I don’t see any big girl around here,” Sehun said, dramatically rotating his head to scan the room.
Haera rolled her eyes. Sehun was pretty sure she learned that from her other father, Papa.
Sehun pointed at the bowl and signalled her daughter to eat. She nodded, talking hold of the spoon in her tiny hands.
“Do you love Papa?” She asked in a small voice.
Sehun raised his eyebrows. He didn’t know where the questions were coming from, but he was ready to answer them. He smiled. “Of course, sweetheart. I have always loved him.”
She didn’t seem satisfied. “How much?” She asked, narrowing her eyes.
Sehun bit his lower lip. “Hey, I remember how you always wanted to know how I met your Papa. I think you are old enough now.”
He swore he saw a twinkle in Haera’s eyes. “Really?” She breathed out. He remembered how she used to bug them about their ‘love story’. Letting Haera watch movies like Twilight was a bad idea after all.
“But let’s make it a little interesting! How about I tell the stories of how I met three different people and you have to guess which one is your papa?”
Haera thought about it and rolled her eyes again. “You always know how to make things so interesting,” she said. Was that sarcasm? Sehun waited for a proper reply.
“Fine,” she said with a grin. “I think I know Papa well enough to guess this.” She seemed pretty confident with herself.
Sehun smirked. “Let’s name them Captain, Stalker and Batman.”
“Lame,” she replied, wrinkling her nose.
“Hey! You will see why I named them these. It’s intentional!” Sehun defended himself.
The Potential Husbands:
- THE CAPTAIN
When he was in high school, Sehun had finally embraced the fact that he was attracted to guys. And the captain of the basketball team, Kris, was the only thing he could think about day and night. Too bad Kris was very much into girls and already had the best girlfriend ever.
- THE STALKER
During college, Sehun started doing part-time in a bakery shop to get in some extra cash. He was smart enough to notice that whenever it was his shift, an extremely tall guy with huge ears would be found sitting on a faraway table, staring at him, even though he barely ordered anything. And it didn’t stop there.
- THE BATMAN
Sehun was finally done with college. He was ready to go look for a job and an apartment. Little did he know he had to share an apartment with the long lost brother of Satan, named Kai, who also had a weird obsession with comic books. The other guy hated Sehun and he didn’t know why. But he would rather watch the Friends marathon than find out why.
