Be With Me.

An: Happy new year everyone🎊✨. I had planned to publish this chapter on tae's birthday. Please forgive me for a late update🥺

The room filled with a muffled voice as Tae held the frying pan in his hand cursing.

"These eggs aish--" Tae said throwing 2 burnt eggs inside the dustbin as he sighed picking up 2 new ones.

"BABY GUKKIE, GET UP." tae yelled as he sighed offing the stove walking towards the kid's room. When he got in he was met with no one on the bed as he sighed.

He soon walked towards his bedroom opening the cupboard only to meet gukkie sleeping there.

A sad sigh left his lips as he picked up gukkie in his hands.

"Do you miss your appa so much that you search for his scent in nights huh?" Tae asked looking at gukkie who had his eyes half-open as the younger let out a growl.

"I miss appa--" Kim Taegukk said looking at his father with teary eyes as Tae smiled at him sadly.

He soon placed his son down on the bed as he caressed his son's head,

"You know right appa loves you, he will be back soon baby--" Tae said trying not to choke on his sobs as Gukkie smiled.

"Yes I know--

Dada come let's go and see what little sissy is doing--" gukkie said pulling tae to the nearby room as both of them looked at their princess sleeping in the cradle peacefully.

"Your sissy is sleeping, why don't you have breakfast and get ready for school huh?" Tae said looking at his son as he nods his head.

Tae soon walked back to the kitchen mixing some milk and egg for french toast. Dipping the bread he made a few average tasting toasts as he smiled having a bite of it,

"This is nothing compared to your cooking jagi~" Tae murmured as he smiled placing it on the table along with a glass of milk as he heard footsteps coming down.

"dada--" gukkie said walking towards his father as he sat down having the breakfast his dad made.

Kissing his father's cheeks he soon ran out getting inside the bus, which had just arrived.

Tae let out a tired sigh as he walked towards his princess's room.

Kim Jiya had her eyes already open as she let out a giggle looking at her father. 

"Princess--" tae said lifting her up rocking her as she snuggled closer to her father's embrace.

"Oh, lord you remind me of your appa." tae muttered as he kept humming.

Tae soon walked to the kitchen with Jiya in his hands as he placed her on her babysitter. He soon started making formulas for her daughter.

"A-pp-a" Jiya squealed as tae looked at her with wide eyes. He soon ran towards his daughter as he made her sit on his lap.

"Did my little process just say her first word?" tae asked as jiya kept blabbering the same words again and again. A tear slipped down his eyes as he looked at the portrait of his and his husband's marriage picture,

"How sad, he is not here to listen to his daughter's first word," Tae said as finally, a tear slipped down from his eyes as he tried hard not to cry louder.

The 8-month-old in his hands stopped squealing as she looked at her father's teary eyes. With grabby hands, he wiped his father's tears as she smiled.
