Lucky.

He was lucky.

Picking up his daughter from the Lees', Jeno didn't dare to take a relaxing breath until he reached home.

Home.

He still called that building as home. Tragic.

Finally parking his car, he sighed out loud, replaying his conversation with Jaemin previously.

"Kang Jiwon."

"You don't know him?"

How did Jaemin find out?

There was absolutely noway anyone could know of Kang Jiwon. Didn't Jeno take care of him already? Who gave that information to the police?

This is bad. I bet Jaemin didn't belive anything I said. He knows. His face said it all. He knew I'm lying. I'm such an idiot.

But did he have a choice?

No. Not even one.

He wasn't ready to risk anything. Not Jaerin. Not himself.

"Daddy?" A muffled call.

Jeno turned his head to the side, having a smile at how adorable the kid looked.

Jaerin rubbed her eyes with her tiny hands, her lips pouty because she woke up all of a sudden.

"Yes, cupcake?"

"Are we home?"

"Yes, baby. Wait, daddy will carry you inside." He said softly, carefully removing the seat belt of the girl.

Jaerin hummed a yes and closed her eyes again. "Is mommy home now?"

Jeno's hands stopped.

Then again he went back to removing the belt, pulling up a smile again, even tho the child couldn't see him.

"Not yet."

No answer.

She was back to sleep.

Jeno's heart fell into peace at the sight.

No one knew how much he loved that kid. No one knew how thankful he was to have that kid. Jaerin was his whole world. He'd do anything for her.

Anything.

Finally he entered the house, Jaerin soundly asleep on his shoulder and his hands carefully holding her up.

It felt too empty.

Jeno half hated his so called home.

He had his reasons.

Placing his daughter on her bed and tucking her under her favorite strawberry patterned blanket, he didn't forget to include her bunny plushie too. He gave a small kiss on her forehead as a good night gift.

If Meisoo was there she would've probably scolded him for not taking her for a wash up or for not making her wear new clothes at night.

But she wasn't there, was she?
