Babe, I Love You

Your Captain

Bin was extremely nervous. The taxi they're riding in just halted in front of the Son's Family house a few seconds ago. Bin felt like he is going to explode at any minute because of his heart rate. He's been raking his fingers through his hair over and over again out of turmoil, and he couldn't even move an inch from the car's backseat.

Oh, God. Is this going to be my last day on this planet?

Meanwhile, Yejin has been holding his hand since they leave his house earlier. She's also nervous, but she's trying to calm herself as much as she could. When she noticed that the driver looked at them as if waiting for them to go out of the cab, she slowly glanced at Bin who's sitting beside her.

"Babe, we're here," Yejin says, almost in a whisper, rubbing her thumb on their entwined fingers.

Bin's adam's apple bobbed up and down while he leaned his head on the seat's headrest. "Do you think I'm still going to come out from your parents' house alive?" He murmured with closed eyes.

She bites her lower lip and resigned her forehead on the side of his shoulder... "Babe, all we have to do is talk to appa calmly. I promise I'll be by your side all the time. I won't leave you." She gazes up at him and placed her hand on the side of his face. Bin opened his eyes, and he moved his head in her direction, locking his gaze on the wistful eyes of his wife. "And of course, I won't let anyone hurt you. My family is harmless, babe... C'mon, let's go."

He lets out a deep exhale and nodded his head. It made him a few moments to gulp the moisture loading in his throat. "What if your appa won't accept me? What if he doesn't like me to be with you and our son, baby? God, I don't know what will I do..."

"Bin, no matter what will happen, Ji Ppyong and I will always be here for you from now on... Appa might throw harsh words at us, but I know he's still my loving appa. He's a good man. He's just angry because he didn't know what happened to you, and the reason why you were gone four years ago. But that doesn't mean he won't listen to us, okay?"

"I know, baby... I should've done this a long time ago, but God, right now, I'm... just... I'm too nervous." Bin says with a shaky voice.

Yejin could clearly see the fear in Bin's eyes, and it reflected on hers. They're both certainly scared, but this is now their chance to have the freedom, acceptance, and approval from Yejin's family. They've been through a lot for how many years they were apart, and now that they're finally got back in each other's arms, it isn't impossible that they'll pass through this stage again in their life. As long as they're together, she believes that everything will fall into the right places.

Before deciding to open the taxi's door, Yejin wraps her arms around Bin. Then immediately, he welcomed her embrace so tight.

"I love you... so much. We can do this together, babe." Yejin breathed. She smoothly releases herself from his arms and patted a long, passionate kiss on his lips.

After releasing from each other's tangled lips, Bin nodded again to her as a sign that he's now ready to step out of the car. Giving the taxi's fair to the driver, they finally went out, and they never leave holding each other's hands. Yejin guided her husband to walk through their house door, and she was the one to press the doorbell button. Bin nervously stood behind her, trying to calm down his uneasy breathing.

A click sound was heard, a sign that the doorknob was unlocked, and they were welcomed by Yeoseop, Yejin's younger brother. His eyes immediately fixed to the man behind his sister, and Bin saw her brother's stoic face. He's a tall guy, just the same level as his height.

"Noona..." Yeoseop stated, gazing down at his sister's pale face. "Appa and eomma have been waiting for you."

Before deciding to step in, she couldn't help but ask about her son with a weak voice. "Is Ji Ppyong safe, Yeoseop-ah?"
