Chapter 20

Junkyu POV

Breakup. Painful, yet easy. You cry a day or two then continue to live your life, unbothered. Except when you have kids with excessive attachment towards your ex.

It has been more than two weeks since my housewarming party, and Ruka still couldn't get over the fact her Uncle Woo no longer a permanent resident in our house. Not that he never came to visit. He came to our place and sometimes pick the twins up from their school. But still, Ruka wants him around everyday.

"Ruka, come on gungju, we are going to be late." I've been trying to tie Ruka's hair for the last fifteen minutes, and the sulking princess refused to even let me touch her hair.

"Shiro!" She shook her head frantically like a madman. "It hurts when you do it and ugly."

"I promise it won't hurt today, and I'll do it prettily. Oh?" I said. She stared at me and sighed heavily. I rolled my eyes inside my head. She make it as though getting her hair done is part of the first world problem.

I could finally do her hair. I braid her hair, slowly, carefully, not to hurt her, and tried to make it look pretty. Tried is the keyword here. I'm not sure if a single braid with strands poking out here and there could be considered as pretty. It looked artsy in my opinion.

Ruto stopped eating his Reese's Puffs and cringed when he saw the end result. He shook his head in quiet. Fine, it's ugly. I yanked my chin for him to continue eating his breakfast.

"I want Uncle Woo to do my hair.." Ruka pouted, staring at her bowl with a sad expression.

My heart sank down to my guts whenever I see her like this. Most of the time, I want to run, grab my phone and ask JeongWoo to live at my house again. But no, asking him to move here would make everything more difficult than it already is.

"He will do your hair tomorrow, okay?" I said as I move around the kitchen to pack their lunch.

"You lied. You said that too yesterday."

"I'm sorry sweetheart, Uncle Woo busy with work today, but I promise he's going to do your hair tomorrow." I crossed my fingers, hoping JeongWoo would agree to it.

I lied to them a lot recently, and I hate it. I hate how my problem hurts them too. It never crossed my mind they would get affected this much. I simply thought everything would come back as it was before JeongWoo became a significant person in our lives.

I was wrong. I downplayed my kids feelings in every decision I made, starting from the day I allowed JeongWoo to get close with me.

My house bell rang when I almost done with the twins lunch. I looked to the security monitor on the kitchen wall and see Rose shaking his booty as though she knew I'm watching her. I stifled a laugh and open the gate for her.

She lets herself in like always since the day she came back as my PA. And I wonder why she ring the bell when I already gave her full access to my house. She walked through the hallway and made her way to the kitchen, her heels knocking the floor loudly.

"Good morning my cutie patootie." She sang and smacks kisses to my twins.

"Good morning Aunt Rose!" Ruto giggled from the butterfly kisses Rose planted on his nose.

"Morning Aunt Rose.." Ruka greeted in less excited voice. She went down from her stool and brought her empty bowl to the sink. All with gloomy face.

I stopped her and carry her inside my arms. She immediately clung tight on me, hiding her face on the side of my neck and whimpers. I gave Rose a pleading look to handle Ruto for a while. She nodded.
