2 YEARS LATER...
(a/n: again, yes, another big time skip)

THIRD PERSON VIEW
Another 2 years had passed. Seo Joon turned 4 while Seo Jin is 2 years old. Days goes by just like as what they are used to.

Well, except for today.

"I'm home~~" It was nearly 11pm when Jae Suk arrived home from work. Seo Joon who is supposed to be sleeping by now happily runs to the door after waiting for his dad.

"Appa!!!" Seo Joon shouted. Jae Suk immediately kneels down on one leg so that Seo Joon can hug him real tight.

"I missed you, appa." The dad biased child said and gets a kiss on the cheek as Jae Suk's reply.

"Where's mom and your sister?" He asked carrying Seo Joon and walks to the living room, seeing Eun Ji preparing something at the kitchen.

"Hey, yeobo." Jae Suk called and puts Seo Joon down before sitting on the sofa releasing a tired sigh of relief.

"How's your day?" Eun Ji asks.

"Same as always."

"I cooked dinner for you. The kids and I already had dinner earlier so you should eat too." Eun Ji said in a very good mood and started setting the dining table.

Jae Suk didn't replied so Eun Ji looked at him and he seemed pretty tired, his head laid back on the sofa, closing his eyes and even his arms very relaxed at the side.

"Yeobo." Eun Ji called him. He immediately opened his eyes, "Yeah?"

"Come and eat dinner. I made dinner for you."

"Ah I already had dinner with Seok Jin hyung and Kwang Soo." He mentioned, which suddenly took away Eun Ji's good mood.

She started pretending and said, "Alright... Then let me put it on the fridge so... You can eat it tomorrow before going to work okay?"

Jae Suk knew that she was disappointed so he stood up and approached her. He was planning to hug her but they both heard his phone ringing.

He knew that he must answer his calls because there must be something important with it. "Sorry, but let me answer this first." He said and walked to their room, answering the phone call.

Eun Ji sighs, disappointed with some other reason. When she was about to put the food to a container, she immediately heard her daughter, Seo Jin crying from the baby room.

So she had no choice but wipe her sweat and go there since her husband is busy.

Later on, when they were both getting ready for bed, Jae Suk comes out of the bathroom seeing Eun Ji passed out on the floor of the bedroom. "Eun Ji ah!" He called approaching her worried. He taps her shoulders, suddenly opening her eyes all dazed and confused.

"Are you alright?" Jae Suk asked her as she slowly sits up. "What happened?" She asked slowly adjusting her eyes with the bright room.

"You fainted. Are you alright? Get up." Jae Suk said holding her arms to slowly help her stand up and sit on the bed.

He goes to the kitchen and grabs a cup of water giving it to her pale looking wife. "Are you alright? You look so pale and... Do you want me to take you to the doctor?"

"I'm always like this." She said leaving Jae Suk confused. "W-What do you mean?"

"I mean... I faint a lot. Here, in our house. I find myself lying on the floor, sometimes the kids woke me up." She said looking down fidgeting the now empty cup.

Jae Suk got even more worried. "You should've told me this. What if... What if you don't wake up? What if something worse happens to you?"

"Then what do you even care?" Eun Ji suddenly goes straight to the point. Jae Suk was shocked, he was confused of the whole moment, he couldn't even speak.

"You're always outside. You're always working. Your day offs are only twice a month, sometimes it's once a month. You don't have that much time with us, instead of taking the kids to the mall, you go to the mall yourself with your friends after filming." Eun Ji letting her anger out.

"W-What?" He got confused and chuckled, starting to get angry too. "Look, Eun Ji ah. It's not what you think but--"

"Oh now you're gonna tell me that it's not what I think it is? You rarely bond with the kids, sure, you do come home, but you're either very tired or straight up asleep... The kids... Especially Seo Joon, waits for you to come home, it's not a good sleeping habit for them... The other day, Seo Joon tried to stay up very late, he was awake until 2am! But guess what, you came home at 4am!" Eun Ji shouted at him tearing up.

Jae Suk looks down and take a deep breath, suddenly attacking back, "I'm sorry but why don't you put yourself in my shoes?... Why don't you try to feel what I feel just for a day?!... Look, I always wanted to call you while I'm at work. I always wanna at least text you that I already had dinner or I'm on my way home!... I always wanted to go home at least at 7pm so I could have more time with you and the kids... I even blamed myself for choosing this kind of job the other day!... Can't you... At least try to understand that I'm not the one who handles my schedule? You're my wife, the mother of my children, you should be the one who fully understands me." The explaination got them both tearing up.

"I had... Always. ALWAYS. Tried to understand you! Because I love you and the kids. But is it bad to get a two or three day break and at least play with the kids? At least with Seo Joon and Seo Jin?" Eun Ji reacts wiping her eyes and staring at Jae Suk tearing up too.

"I really wanna do that, Eun Ji ah! I always wanna live a normal life too. With you, with Seo Joon and Seo Jin, it's just--"

"Why?! Is your life abnormal to you?! Is living with me, Seo Joon, and Seo Jin, not 'normal' to you?! Nothing's--" She suddenly got cut off by Seo Joon just at the open door of their room with a very sad face.

"Eomma? Appa?"
