A Mother ➵liskook :(Eng Vers.)

Father's Daughter

The little girl crossed the park gate with her tiny feet and started jumping on the ground. Her big smile was like a rabbit, she ran to the swings in her white skirt, but she couldn't get on because she was short. She turned around and pursed her lips at her expectant mother. Her mother chuckled and approached her daughter. He slowly sat the body that fit in his arms, moved behind him as he warned him to grab the bars. Excited as the swing swayed, her daughter's eyes 

were an exact replica of her father.

Yuqi was her father's only and only daughter.

Just then, she stopped shaking at the sound of music coming from her bag. After finding the vibrating device among the belongings, he saw that his best friend was calling, answered the call and put it to his ear.

"Oh, Jennie!"

[What are you doing baby?"]

"Yuqi and I are in the park in front of the house. Is something wrong?"

[Oh, no. We will be there soon. Taehyung is on a business trip and my son is a real tiger...hrrr.]

"Sure, should I prepare you dinner?"

[We should eat out instead.]

"Oh, well -..."

When Yuqi shouted, she turned around, falling to the ground. He put the phone down and squatted next to his shy daughter. It was a slight scratch, and he kissed her wet cheek. She wiped the tear that was about to drop from her chin with her fingers and took it in her lap. She could still hear Jennie yelling on the other line, she sat down on her lap and picked up the phone again. 'He fell off a swing, nothing big. And we'll see you later. I am closing now.'

He poured the water he took out of the bag to clean his soiled knee. The little girl sniffed and wrapped her arms around her mother's slender neck. She actually thought she could land, but the swing was still swinging. Her mother was walking briskly down the passing streets towards their house. The tiny hands on her throat were sweaty, she could feel it sliding down her back. She lifted her head so she could see her little baby.

"This wound will heal, honey. You should laugh now, okay?"

"Mom..."

"Yes baby."

"Every time I smile-... you're looking at me."

The woman had taken the meaning literally, but she couldn't open her mouth. He smiled more, hoping to cover up his pain. "Because you look like your father, honey." . He turned the key in the hole and opened the door. She dropped Yuqi onto the seat next to her. She must have been lucky that she wasn't hurt too much, she would definitely be sick from crying if the pain was so bad. His daughter, whiny and stubborn, now filled two parts of his life that he couldn't let go. One was the heart left empty by the man she loved, and the other was the smile she longed for.

She grabbed the first aid kit from the bathroom, she knelt down in front of the sitting little one. She cleaned the scrape with the help of a clean cloth. He cleaned it so it wouldn't get any germs and put the Band-Aid neatly. Then she kissed the hands that were in hers, inhaling her scent. Then she stood up, realizing that Jennie was coming through the knocking door. He pulled the handle down and instantly walked in, Taeyong smiled.

"Oh, this boy!"

"This is the aunt's house, Jennie, it's okay."

"Still... I will shut up now. Where is Yuqi?"

"He's sitting inside."

Jennie ran into the living room without hanging her coat. Taeyong was sitting at his feet, fanning his wound with his hand. Warmed by the sight, he puffed out his cheeks and sat down next to the two of them. 'Does it still hurt Yuqi?'.
