What was I thinking?! I let a complete stranger sleep at my house! Did I even think about my kids' safeties?! What kind of parenting is this?! For all I know, Mingi's intentions might have been to hurt my kids and I just let him sleep here?! I pulled my hair in frustration but immediately sat up when I realized the 3 toddlers weren't in my bed. I looked around and saw no trace of my kids in my room so I quickly got out of bed.

I rushed out of my bedroom and into the living room. They weren't there either. Neither was Mingi. I started panicking and then I heard a scream. It was Mi-Cha. I ran to where the scream came from, the dining room. When I got in there, I saw Mingi tickling the kids. I sighed in relief as I sat in the chair. None of them noticed me so I rested my head in my hand with my elbow on the table. I smiled seeing how Mingi played with my babies.

I was sat there for about 5 minutes, drifting off back to sleep before Mingi noticed me. My eyes were closed before I felt someone sit on my lap. I opened my eyes and Mi-Cha smiled at me. I kissed her cheek and she wrapped her short arms around my neck. The boys were still playing with Mingi and I watched them whilst hugging my daughter. Suddenly, I heard a sniffle and I quickly turned my head and saw that Mi-Cha was crying. I kissed her forehead and stroked her hair as I began to worry.

"What's the matter my baby?" I asked, gaining the attention of the others in the room.

"Why daddy leave?" She said with a sob. I pulled her even closer as her brothers came and sat on the table in front of me, with the help of Mingi who took the seat next to me. He rubbed the crying girl's back and her brothers looked at her with tears in their eyes. I pulled back a little and wiped her tears off of her chubby cheeks.

"He didn't leave us baby. He loves us. It was just his time to become an angel. He still watches over us though. Although we can't see him, he's still with us." I said as I started to tear up too. Mi-Cha pulled away and I lifted her onto the table between her brothers who immediately held a hand each. I looked at them all with a sad smile. From the corner of my eye, I could see Mingi staring at me and then he patted my shoulder. I turned to him, sending him a quick smile before getting up and going to the kitchen, leaving Mingi with the kids.

I walked towards the coffee machine and turned it on. Whilst I was waiting for it to finish, I leaned over and put my elbows on the counter, pulling my hair slightly as a few tears spilled down my face. Once it was done, I stood up straight and grabbed my cup now filled with coffee. I stirred it as more tears fell down my face as I remembered my first love, the kids' dad.

"Yunho?" I quickly turned around when I heard Mingi's voice, causing the coffee to spill and burn my hand. I shook my hand in pain and Mingi rushed to my side. He grabbed my hand and looked at it closely and I quickly wiped my tears away.

"Are you ok? That looked hot." I shook my head but tears involuntarily fell down my face. Mingi looked at my face and his expression was difficult to read. He looked upset but also worried. He dropped my hand and wiped the tear away, holding my face in his hands afterwards. He looked into my eyes and there was a weird feeling  in my stomach. It felt like when I first met my ex husband.

Could I be falling for him? No! What am I saying? I couldn't!.. could I?

"Yunho?" I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw my face inching closer and closer towards Mingi's. My eyes grew wide with shock as I quickly stood back, losing my balance and hitting my hip on the corner of the counter.

"Ah shit!" I said rather loudly but hoping the kids didn't hear me. I held my side in pain as I tried to ignore the worried expression Mingi wore on his face. He put his arms out to help me but I just took another step back.
