Daesong's POV

Eomma has left for work and now I'm just waiting for Eunji eonni to take me to school.

I'm bored.

I look around the house for something fun to do when I remeber mom's photos she showed me yesterday. She looked really weird before she closed the photo album.

Maybe she's hiding something funny there.

"Hmm... I'm pretty sure she placed it here... Aha! Found it!"

I went through a couple of interesting photos where mom looks so young. There were others where she looked goofy with her friends.

Oh, it's the photo with Mr. Kim.

I turned to the next page and saw words at the back of the photo earlier.

2013, Spring

To my love Jiu,

I can't believe we've been together for 2 years. I'm grateful to you for coming into my life. My promise to you is forever and that no matter what, I'm here for you.

Your handsome prince,
Kim Seokjin

What? Together?

I counted the years backwards with my fingers... 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013...

"I-is this..."

The front door suddenly burst open with Eunji noona coming in.

"Daesong, sorry, noona had to take care of a few things."

I closed the album instantly. I don't think it will be good for eomma if anybody else found out.

"What's that Daesong?"

"It's nothing noona, come on, let's go to school or I'll be late." I gather my blue bag and head first in the door.

"Eunji noona, you're pregnant right?"

Noona happily said yes.

"Does being pregnant takes a while? My teacher said something about waiting for the baby to come. How long was it again?"

Noona laughed, "Why are you so curious?"

"Of course, I'm a kid. I'm always curious and besides, its for school."

"Right. Well, it takes about 9 months. Sometimes they go out earlier than expected."

I nodded. So... it might be true then.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

"Oh, Daesong! How are you?" Mr. Kim was delighted to see me again. He then pointed to 'my spot' of the restaurant.

I wonder... Is true? Is he really my dad?

Mr. Kim approached me with a tray at hand. He placed a juice and a slice of cake in front of me.

Does he know?

"For your hard work." He then smiled widely at me.

"Mr. Kim!" I reached out to grab his pink dress shirt before he goes back.

"Hmm?" Mr. Kim faced me with another pleasant smile.

"Do you have a kid? A son or a daughter?"

He looked surprised at first but answered quickly. "No. I don't have a kid yet... Well, I'm still single so... Why did you asked?"
