Taehyung's POV

Waking up this morning, my hands scrambled around to find nothing but emptiness, I was alone in bed.

Weakly cracking open an eye, I called out to Amy.

"Taehyung, I'm here in your room," she replied, and I got out of bed and dragged my sleepy feet to the other bedroom.

"Morning, baby! I have something for you," she chirped brightly and extended her hand holding a small paper bag while my mind was still trying to process if it was even possible for someone to be this energetic in the mornings.

I took the bag from her, sleepily ruffling my bedhead and plopped down on the single bed.

"Happy birthday once again, Taehyung," she sat down next to me and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you, darling," I pecked her pout, my morning voice was hoarse and scratchy, but Amy always told me that it sounded sexy. I opened the present, and instantly my eyes opened wide. It was the newly launched limited edition GUCCI perfume.

"Wow, Amy! This was so hard to get. I tried so much. How did you get it, though?" I asked as I took the box out of the bag.

"I tried too," she winked, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Whoa! I love it... thank you so much, Amy. You're adorable," I kissed her cheek.

Soon, we showered and cooked and ate together and watched a movie, after which we left the house to pick up MinJun from Jay's house.

It was my first time meeting Jay and Allan in all these years, although I had seen Jay once with Amy during my Black Swan movie premiere. We were greeted at the door by Allan and their one-year-old baby girl, Mia.

Mia was so cute with her chubby, rosy cheeks and deep blue eyes, just like Allan's. She looked like an angel. Her soft hair was cut in bangs, and it framed her face beautifully. I fell in love with her at once, and I just couldn't take my eyes off her.

I carried her in my arms and squished her cheeks. She was stunned by a stranger lifting her and started to cry, and I quickly handed her back to her father and apologized.

Jay came in to greet us with a bright smile on her face.
"Hi, Taehyung. I'm Jay. We're meeting for the first time in all these years," she beamed and shook my hand.

"Yeah, our meeting never happened," I smiled back, thinking back to all the days when I met Amy alone at her house in Songpa-gu and how coincidentally every time I left before Jay arrived.

"Amy and Taehyung, MinJun is getting his stuff. He has been so excited to meet you both," Allan announced with a smile while softly patting and rocking Mia who had now stopped crying and lay down on her father's shoulder, sucking her thumb.

My heart suddenly longed to have a daughter.

I so want a girl baby of my own. I want to carry her and play with her and love her with my whole heart. I want a daughter with Amy's eyes. I will be the man who always sets her standards high.

Lost in my thoughts, I smiled at Allan and Mia, and just then MinJun came running towards me from the bedroom. Seeing him, I instantly crouched down on my knees and received him in my arms, hugging him tight.

"MinJun ah, I missed you so much," I said to him, holding him close to me and softly patting and rubbing his back.

MinJun pulled away and looked into my eyes.
"Happy birthday, appa," he smiled brightly, making my eyes widen and my heartbeat reach its upper limits.
