4 pm

The sound of the doorbell ringing shrieks for a second before silence takes over again in the whole house, i stop wiping the table and go towards it to open it.

"Good evening," i greet the man who's just back from his office, tired and exhausted after a long day spent working, he smiles faintly but removes his shoes to step inside, having the same kind gesture to be sweet to me from the past one month. "Good evening, sweetheart." He lets me take his bag, the laptop one, and he walks over to the sofas after greeting me back kindly.

"Daddy!" The voice of this little one echoes loud as she walks quickly down the stairs, happy and very pleased at the man who's her father. "My baby..." he opens his arms widely, making space for the five years old to come and jump on him, he showers her with kisses and a tight hug.

I smile at them, walking to the stairs. I go up and enter the master bedroom to keep this bag on its place. I shut the lights off and then leave, but stumble upon mister jeon.

"There's no need to cook tonight, a kind colleague of mine offered us some lunch. Okay?" He undoes his black necktie with a hand, using the other to hold his daughter's tiny hand. I nod, smiling as he shows me a little smile too. "But i want miss song's yummy soup, daddy...."

We both look down at this cute girl, he smiles but pats her head, her bangs covering her doe eyes as she stares through my eyes with her own beautiful light brown ones, and her lips curve downwards. "It's alright, i'll make it for you in the evening. You should go have some lunch with your father." I bend down to smile, and i step away once she's convinced. "Go rest for a while, you've been working all day."

His tough veiny hand skims mine, he opens the door to his room and i sigh, going back downstairs to finish wiping the table and then setting it before i come in my bedroom and do as mister jeon told.

8 pm

I shift to my right, and hug the pillow tightly, my shoulders aching but sleep seems more important. I've overslept.

This thought rushing into my head at a sudden, i sit up but ignore the heavy pounding of my heart, i fix my hair and lick my lips, getting up slowly. I open the door of the bathroom to go and take a quick wash up, i splash some cold water on my face and hurry to grab tissues and wipe my skin all cold now. I'll have to hurry with dinner now, heck.

"Miss song?" Just as i wear my socks to prevent the cold floor from hurting me, hanuel's soft voice comes from the outside. I open the door, putting on a wooly cardigan over my thin sheer dress which has short sleeves. "What's wrong, sweetheart?"

I puff out a cold breath, bending down to this one, she points downstairs and i look over there. "Mum is saying bad things to daddy again."

She gazes at me with a sorrowful face again, i exhale, getting up to pull this little preciousness close to my body, she instantly wraps her arms around my waist, placing her head sideways on my stomach. "Come on, let's take you to bedroom, mhm?"

I feel terrible to think myself as in her point of view, and as in mister jeon's too. This is very disturbing to feel, so i just calm myself down and walk with her to her bedroom. "Here."

Closing the book left opened on the small heart-shaped bed, i smile and lift her up to place her on the small swing. "Play for some time while i make you the creamy mushroom soup, okay, darling?" I place a kiss on her soft chubby red cheek, and she giggles, holding both the chains with her small hands while nodding. "I call you when i'm hungry?"
