chapter 5

Taeil arranged a meeting with Doyoung to talk about the triplet. Doyoung requested to meet the triplet along with Taeil. He had seen the triplet before but not all 3 of them at once. Taeil tried to changes the topic but Doyoung insisted to see the triplet.

They decided to meet at the zoo on Saturday.

The triplet had always wanted to go to the zoo but Taeil can't bring them there alone. He only has Jungwoo as a friend but he won't bother Jungwoo with his kids. Taeil also didn't want to give his ex-boyfriend any hope although Jungwoo had said to him over and over again that Taeil can call him every time even if not as a lover but as a friend.

Although most of the time Taeil tried to not bother Jungwoo he only had Jungwoo call and seek help whenever his triplet wanted to watch a movie in the cinema or where ever he needs to bring the triplet out to the public.

Taeil tried bringing the triplet out once, alone and he meets Jungwoo by chance. Jungwoo was really upset at Taeil. He didn't talk to Taeil for a week and threatens Taeil that he wants to quit his business with Taeil. He is very childish and loveable, even when he is angry. The butterflies Taeil had in his tummy whenever Jungwoo scold him for something.

It's getting ridiculous when Taeil got jealous whenever Jungwoo was out with anyone without telling him first. Taeil feels like he needs to tell Jungwoo everything about himself, Taeil still couldn't let go of Jungwoo because he is always there and always nice to Taeil and sometimes Taeil feels guilty looking at Jungwoo, but his selfishness is bigger than his guilt.

Taeil thought it time to end it properly with Jungwoo. He didn't want Jungwoo but he couldn't let him go. Jungwoo deserves better not someone like Taeil. Everything is unsure, everything is blurry.

Taeil sighed, stopping at the red light.

His triplet was so excited and it somewhat calms him. He wasn't sure what to talk to Doyoung and he was afraid if Doyoung decided to take the triplet away from him. Taeil looks at the side mirror of his car. He does look like Seulgi. Does he look like Seulgi?

Taeil was afraid he can't do anything if Doyoung decided to take the triplet. Taeil took another deep breath before driving the car to the location Doyoung send him, to Doyoung's apartment.

Doyoung wanted to fetch Taeil but Taeil told him that he didn't want his mom to ask about Doyoung. Taeil was the one who will drive them to the zoo. Doyoung is okay with everything as long as he can see his triplet whom Taeil hide from him for years.

Doyoung greeted all the triplets with a smile as soon as he entered Taeil's car. Taeil drove them to the Zoo without saying anything. Doyoung was busy asking questions to the triplet and being friendly. The triplet is very good with peoples; they can talk to everyone. it's not very safe and Taeil used to scold them because they for being friendly with stranger very fast but this time they can use it to get close to their father they never knew they had.

Taeil noticed when Doyoung asked them a question, his triplet never fails to mention his name. A small smile form on Taeil's lips.

"Baba loves pizza. Minguk also likes pizza but Minguk doesn't like pineapple. Baba likes it," Minguk explained.

"No. Baba loves everything on pizza," Manse fixed his brother.

"Do you know who I am?" Doyoung asked after noticing that every question he asked the triplet lead to Taeil. Their head is full of Taeil. He wondered if Taeil had told them about him.

The triplet lost their words, looking awkwardly at each other.

"Baba said, you're a father too," Daehan mumbled slowly.
