︎︎︎︎✨ ------------ "Seungmin? Hon, we're home!" A voice shouted after opening the front door. The only thing I could hear after that was muffled voices, giggles, and laughter.
I let out a long sigh and roll to the other side of the bed, feeling disturbed from my nap. Suddenly, the bedroom door opens slowly; At the same time making a loud creaking sound.
Footsteps were heard walking towards my direction. The tiny figure gently grabs the blanket, making my back chilly for a moment.
The person gets in the bed and hugs me from behind with their tiny, soft, and little hands. I stayed quiet for bit until I surrendered.
"Did you have fun at school?" I say not moving, with my eyes still closed as well.
They giggle silently. I turn around to face them, I open my eyes and smile warmly, "My beautiful Aera, did you meet any new friends?" She laughs and hugs me tighter as I caress the back of her head/hair.
She nodded, "I had so much fun playing and I met 2 friends and...and-" She says a bit overexcited. She pauses and thinks for a moment.
I wait patiently while slowly nodding, to reassure her that I was still listening to what they were saying.
"And I had fun!" She said. Aera looked up at me and smiled cheekily, "That's good to hear, but were you kind?" I ask, I slightly poke her chubby cheeks.
"Mhm! I helped the teacher give out apples! And someone asked for help with their paper so I did!" Aera exclaimed while explaining every detail and highlight of her day.
"Remember, you can do almost anything and everything...as long as you're kind," I explain in a very loving tone, I smile and kiss her cheek very warmly.
I hold her in my arms and gently caress her face and slightly twirl her hair. I repeat this a couple times and I hum and softly sing a song. She comes closer and cuddles me.
After a few moments, she silently fell asleep while holding my hand and smiling. I look at her and I see she resembles Minho quite a lot.
I continue looking at her facial features as I slightly go over them with my index finger. I nudge her nose and kiss it.
Speaking of Minho, I see him standing against the door frame and crossing his arms. He smiles at the both of us and walks towards the bed.
I slowly get out of the bed and Minho helps me. He carries me upwards and puts me down beside him. I silently laugh at his silly and cliche antics and I hug him.
"You're really good with children, you know that?" He whispered as he buries his head in my shoulders.
"Oh really?" I softly say raising a brow, I let out a small 'Hmh' afterwards.
"Why don't we have another one, then?" He asks and I could tell he was smirking. We now moved in a left-right movement, sort of cradling each other.
"Two kids is already very hectic, how can I handle three?!" I say a bit louder, trying to hold back my laughter.
He puts his head up, looks at me, and jokingly yells out, "What do you mean two?!"
I burst out laughing as I hold his cheeks in my palms, "You, and Aera. Who else?"
"I should've known," He sighed and said in a jokingly way. He then makes a 'Oh wow I'm now hurt and offended' face with a hand above his heart.
I let go of him a bit to sit down. He does the same, now sitting beside me and resting his head on my lap.
"We're not even married yet. After we do, we just might be able to make more," I say as I stretch out my arms to kinda avoid looking at his face.
I start to play with his hair while he closes his eyes softly.
Yes, it's true. We have a 5 year old daughter, live in a house together, but we are still unwed.
Although I love him very much dearly, I still believe that there is a perfect time for everything.
I do wish we could officially be one, but I don't think we really need a label for people and us to determine wether we love each other or not.
If we acknowledge that we care and love one another, isn't that all that matters?
And besides, my body, mind, soul, and heart have not yet fully recovered from giving birth and such.
It got heavily silent. It was silent.
He gets up and sits up, slouching a bit. I see him looking at me by the side of my eye.
I turn my head I see his eyes glisten. In his eyes I saw a glimpse of hope, light, sorrow, and guilt.
He moves in closer, just inches away from me.
I can feel him breathing, my face warming up from the sudden contact and from the heat of his face. I look down at his lips, I felt my eyes slightly close as I move forward as well.
A soft surface met mine, our lips were gently pushed together. I could feel the room heating up, but the kiss wasn't platonic (obviously), lustful, or revolting.
It was, well...blissful but melancholy at the same time. I could say that it was beautiful.
Thankfully, Aera was in a deep slumber. Otherwise it would have been awkward after the shared experience. ------- ✨
