After the last night talk between Chaeyoung and Mina, Chaeyoung fell asleep in Mina's arms. Mina placed Chaeyoung in the bed. She went to look for Xao and he was already in the middle of his dreams. She went back to her room and climbed the bed. Chaeyoung was sleeping peacefully with her mouth slightly opened. Mina also lie down at her side and dreamy watched Chaeyoung sleeping. "You look more uglier in your sleep" Mina whispered and gave a kiss on her forehead. Mina smiled as she hugged her big baby and drifted to sleep.
Morning came and today Mina had planned to prepare something for Chaeyoung and Xaoing as a sorry for yesterday which wasn't even necessary. Chaeyoung yet again woke without having Mina beside her. She washed up and changed her clothes and went down and saw Mina preparing breakfast. She saw Xao coming down too rubbing his eyes. "Good morning Xao" Chaeyoung said patting his head and gave him a peck on his cheek which he replied back.
"Good morning" Chaeyoung greeted Mina too only to get nothing as a reply. "I said morning" Chaeyoung said again instead of replying Mina showed Chaeyoung her cheeks. Chaeyoung gave her a 'what?' look. Mina yet again showed her cheeks to Chaeyoung. "My morning kiss" Mina spoke making Chaeyoung choked in nothing. "Are you fine? " Mina asked getting panicked. Chaeyoung just nods.
So, Mina doesn't gets her morning kiss making her to make a dull face throughout the breakfast. After the breakfast Chaeyoung went back to the room to get her phone. She was supposed to contact her mom and dad but she just forgot about it because of that incident she saw in the arcade and restaurant. After the call she went down and saw Mina closing all the windows of the living hall using big black curtains. "What are you doing?" Chaeyoung says as she sees them. Mina points out the television and she gets that they are going to watch some movies. She hears a ding coming out from the kitchen. Mina goes towards the kitchen and comes back with a big bowl of popcorn.
She calls Xao down and all of the three sat down for the movie. Xao really wanted to watch some horror movies which Mina objected as she was scared but didn't admitted. But after some disgustingly cute agyeo of Chaeyoung and Xao she agreed. "Ah I know a movie Death Bell, let's watch it" Chaeyoung exclaimed excitedly. Xao nods happily at his mommy's suggestion. Mina also unwillingly nods back. The movie starts and Mina already started to get scared. Everytime the movie gets into exciting part Mina shouts in fear making Xao and Chae groan in irritation.
After one more scary jump of Mina she was told to sit between Chae and Xao. Chae had her arms wrapped around Mina's waist protectively. At the death of the main character Mina starts to cry loudly disturbing Chaeyoung's and Xao's concentration. After the movie ended Xao and Chaeyoung had a blank face. Everytime at the best point Mina would end up jumping or screaming or ends up crying. Chaeyoung and Xao quietly got up after the movie's end leaving Mina alone at the room. "Why are you guys leaving me alone here? " Mina says and follows them quickly after realizing she was sitting alone in the sofa of a dark room.
Mina and Chaeyoung enters the room after taking Xao to his. Xaoing sits down in his bed with a photo in his hand. It was his dad and mom's picture. Xao dad had a big smile in his face with Mina's gummy smile included. His hands around Mina's shoulder wrapped protectively. Xao doesn't remember any incident happening between him and his dad because of his childhood injury. Only if Chaeyoung hadn't saved him he wouldn't be there. He then takes out some photos from a drawer and they were the polaroid shots he got from his camera in the resort. They were all of Mina and Chaeyoung. 'Chaeyoung' Xao said in a low voice with full of love and adoration in it.
Mina and Chaeyoung after entering the room fell down in the bed. They both looked tired. Chaeyoung suddenly woke up and went to the cupboard and took out the same penguin doll that she won yesterday. She grabbed the doll and threw it right in Mina's face. "Hey what was that f-" Mina stopped when she saw a penguin lying beside her. She smiled as she saw it. She flapped it's wings made it dance and made it to do some karate moves. Chaeyoung adorably looked at Mina.
"Your mind is still the same, I am sure it hasn't increased since your childhood" Chaeyoung spoke as she sat down. Mina kept the penguin down and turned towards Chaeyoung ,"Yes it's same as your height, hasn't increased since your childhood" Mina said smiling at her. Chaeyoung didn't speak after that. "K.O" Mina shouted and started to jump around. "Shut up" Chaeyoung said but Mina being Mina didn't. Chaeyoung stood up and was planning to go down but Mina was fast enough to stop her. She back hugged Chaeyoung. Her arms around Chaeyoung's waist and her chin in her shoulder resting peacefully. "It was a joke Chae don't be mad, and you look like you are already 162cm nowadays" Mina says to Chaeyoung.
"Really? " Chaeyoung asks excitedly. "Yes" Mina said trying to sound all serious but ended up laughing like a penguin. "Ha.. Haha... Haha you really believed" Mina says trying to catch breathe while laughing. Chaeyoung gets angry and moves towards the door just to get pinned by Mina. "I am sorry" Mina says but she was still laughing. "Stop laughing"Chaeyoung requests Mina. But Mina still continues to laugh. In the middle of their small bickering they heard a knock. They saw Xao sleepily standing in front of the door. Mina carried him inside and placed him in the bed.
"What's the matter baby?" Mina asks Xao. He just shakes his head and hugs Chaeyoung who was sitting beside him. His eyes looked tired, he slept in Chaeyoung's arm hugging her. Mina saw how cute these two looked and they could pass the mother and son vibe. She helped Chaeyoung to lay down Xao in the bed. Xao slept between Mina and Chaeyoung. Mina's hands were holding Chaeyoung's hands and Xao in the middle. "Chaeyoung ?" Mina softly speaks. Chaeyoung hums. "Thank you" Mina mutters. Chaeyoung faces Mina and gives her 'but why' look. Mina smiles towards her and speaks, "thank you for making me and Xao feel safe and happy, thank you for making my house feel like a home."
Chaeyoung just lovingly smiles at Mina. She takes her hand and plants a small kiss in it. Mina just stares at her. "Goodnight, sleep well" Chaeyoung whispers softly to Mina. Mina nods her head giving Chaeyoung a gummy smile and both of them sleep joining Xao. The three really looked like a family that everyone wants. Mina felt that her life became more happier when Chaeyoung entered. Her wealth, house, companies were nothing compared to her little boy's happiness that Chaeyoung became. Indeed Mina's house felt like a real home because of Chaeyoung.
