Destiny

Parents

It has been more than 10 minutes Son Ye Jin has been raining smooches on her daughter. Today is the first time she will leave her daughter the whole day for work. She never really leave her baby for too long after she gave birth. She has become too attached to motherhood that going to work after maternity leave seems like the hardest thing to do.

"Jagiya, your manager has been waiting for 15 minutes. The rush hour is going to start soon, and you are going to be late if you don't move now," Hyun Bin reminded his wife of her call time. Seems like Ye Jin did not move from the bed since he left the room half an hour ago.

Ye Jin raised her index finger to her husband without really looking at him, "One more minute. Let me kiss her for another minute," she said and continue to kiss her sleeping daughter.

Hyun Bin just leaned on the door pane and saw his wife. He just chuckled lightly and shook his head. He knows how it does feel to go back to work for the first time after being parents. It's hard. The separation issue is real.

"Alright, one minute is up," Hyun Bin gently pulls his wife away from their daughter. If he did not do that, his wife might continue to stay on the bed for another hour. "You need to work, Eomma," Hyun Bin continue to pull his wife out of the room.

Son Ye Jin suddenly burst into tears which shocked both the men in the living room. "I am going to miss her. Take care of her well, okay, Yeobo."

"Of course I will. I am her Appa," Hyun Bin turned his wife body so that she is not facing the room. "You don't want to be late to work. That is not you," he gives her a tight hug and a quick peck on top of her head. "Don't worry about us."

Ye Jin's manager, Kim Dae Myung, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, pursed his lips to avoid himself from laughing. He looked at Hyun Bin, and the latter just wink understanding what Kim Dae Myung wants to say.

Hyun Bin took his wife's handbag and give it to her while Kim Dae Myung helped with the rest of the stuff.

"My breast pump bag?" Ye Jin asked as she is about to put on her shoes in the hallway.

In a flash, Hyun Bin passed the bag to her. "Here it is. Seems like everything is ready."

"Yeobo, don't forget to check the date on the milk pack. Use the older ones first. I already arranged it according to the dates. Older ones in front and newer ones at the back. You know how to use the warmer right? I already put the bottles near the kitchen top so that it will be easier for you. Anything just texts me," she keeps giving instructions to Hyun Bin like this is the first time her husband take care of their daughter. Hyun Bin just showed his dimple smile, looking at Ye Jin's antique.

"Yes, ma'am. You had given me a crash course for two hours last night. Feed her every 2-3 hours, 3-4 ounces each time. 3 nap times. I jotted down everything and still remember it. Now, palli or you going to stuck in the traffic," Hyun Bin gave her one last big hug and a sweet kiss on both of her cheeks. "Love you."

Son Ye Jin cupped her husband's face and replied his kiss with a cute peck on his lips. "Love you, too. Don't be naughty, Appa. I will check on you every hour," she winked and finally closed the door behind her. Finally, after too many distractions, Son Ye Jin made her way to work.

Once his wife is off to work, Hyun Bin got back to their room and put her daughter inside her crib for safety as he needs to clean the house and make some breakfast for himself. After transferring Ye Rin, he made up the bed and programme the Deebot T9 robot vacuum to clean. Thank God for technology that half of the house chores can get done easier. Their puppy, Doolli got excited every time the robot do the cleaning. She will jump and run around following the machine.
