Part 7

A/N: Uh- I just missed you all.


-*-*-


It is not a surprise that Chanyeol arrived hours before the expected meet up. If it isn't for his overflowing excitement of what today will bring, and for all the possibilities there is for them, it would've been easier for him to calm himself down. He's standing at the exact spot where his eyes landed towards Hannah for the very first time. Staring at the now-empty spot made him feel teary-eyed, realising how that small coincidence led him to meet his child.

"Chanyeol, I swear to god.. Don't you dare embarrass me again this time!" It is very obvious how frustrated Jongin already is, based on how he sounded over the phone.

Chanyeol only rolled his eyes.

"I have been warning you over and over, Jongin. Stop forcing me into meeting anyone and involving me with your sexcapades!" He grunted, already had enough of his friend's 'hobbies'.

"And what do you expect me to tell Jira? You left her alone with no date!" By the sound of it, Chanyeol thinks Jongin is trying not to shout too loud. His new fling and her friend might be near his poor friend at the moment.

Chanyeol chucked unapologetically.

"Stop pretending that you can't enjoy both of them in ways that you want. They're both obviously interested to you and your wallet anyway, dumbass. Go and have fun on your own." He told his friend and heard a sigh before ending the call. He didn't bother waiting for any response anymore, especially now that his attention has been caught by a crying little girl.

"Papa.." The little girl with purple backpack repeats. No matter how uninterested Chanyeol normally is towards other people's business, he couldn't let himself ignore a poor child's cry. Also, she's obviously lost and scared.

Chanyeol stepped closer to the little girl, unaware of how he's walking closer towards someone he didn't expect finding.

Two, three, Chanyeol isn't sure of how long he's been glued on the spot already since earlier that day. He unconsciously taps his feet on the ground every now and then, aiming to release some nervousness out—though he only kept on failing miserably. As every time the hand of his analog watch moves, his body trembles in anticipation over finally seeing his family with lesser tension—he hopes.

Baekhyun is finally allowing him to meet them properly and Chanyeol takes this as a good sign.

It's almost lunch time and Chanyeol just realized that he still didn't have any plans on how they could spend their whole day. He's too busy overthinking that the simplest thing was even left out.

Should they go and watch movies? He wonders if there's anything that's currently showing in cinemas that will interest their child.

Should he take his time to think while they eat their lunch instead? But where would he take them anyway? Should they go for pasta? Or chicken? Children loves chicken, but does Hannah like chicken though? Can she eat chicken? What if she has allergies? Oh no.. How would he know what Hannah could and couldn't eat?!

At the exact moment that Chanyeol is already having a mental breakdown due to being unprepared, a loud squeal was heard followed by sounds of tiny steps running into his direction. Instantly, he turned his head and was delighted with the sight of Hannah, running into him with her arms wide open. All the worries he had a few seconds ago vanished as his body responded automatically to the smiling little girl. He knelt to the ground and opened his long arms wide, waiting for the impact as the little girl dives into his arms.

He accepted the little body and inhaled the warmth and scent his child exudes.

"I missed you.. a-and I was afwaid I won't see you again Dada.." Little Hannah cried into his embrace, and it brought a pang in Baekhyun's chest. Since their ride on the cab, he noticed how his daughter kept on fixing her hair, her dress and even dusted her little backpack every once in a while, as if she wanted everything to be perfect.
