Marriage life wasn't all that easy for Esther and Baekhyun. Both young lovers thought that marriage would be the key to their happiness, but they were both completely wrong.
─✧
After their harsh divorce, Esther and Baekhyun went their separate way...
"My dad? He's my dad?" He whispers confusingly, looking at Esther and then back at Baekhyun and Esther nods.
"He is exactly what he looks like in the pictures I've always shown you." Esther puts Jake down as she hesitantly reaches for her summer bag.
Baekhyun and Jake watch Esther pulling out a small yet rectangular photo album out of the bag. "Okay. I got this." She says in her mind.
She then pulls out a photo out out the dividers. "See? It's him." Esther gives Jake the photo of his father.
Jake took the photo out of her hand as he observes it with much caution.

Jake stares at the for photo for several seconds and he looks at Baekhyun who was sitting in front of him.
"That was him when we were on our first date." Esther says and Baekhyun scoots his chair closer to have a better look at the photo. "I took this picture without him knowing."
"Out of all the pictures you show him, it had to be that one?" He asks, raising his eyebrow in confusion.
"What do you mean?" She chuckles. "It shows your more natural side." Esther looks at Baekhyun. "Jake always keeps this picture of you where ever he goes."
"Really?" Baekhyun asks with a more concerned yet sincere expression look on his face and she nods.
"Why don't you give your dad a hug baby? He looks like he needs it." Esther whispers to Jake. "He's been waiting to meet you."
"Papa?" Jake slowly and hesitantly approaches Baekhyun as he twiddles his thumbs together.
Baekhyun slowly gets down on his knees as his breath felt like a lump in his throat. Hearing his son calling him "papa" weakened him to the bone. "My son." The tears run down his cheeks.
Jake lifted his hand up. "Don't cry papa." He wipes the tears off Baekhyun's cheeks. This made Esther cry in silence at the beautiful reunion between father and son.
Baekhyun didn't hesitate to pull his son in and he embraces him like it was his last day on Earth. Jake wraps his arms around Baekhyun's neck as he nuzzles his face into his neck.
Baekhyun wraps his arms around his son firmly as he stands up. "I'm here son." The tears shed from his eyes as he closes them.
"Papa? I have so many questions." Jake looks at him.
"One at a time. I promise to answer them son." Baekhyun takes his shades off as he wipes eyes with his elbow.
"Are you going to leave us now?" He asks.
"No." Baekhyun sets his hair away from his eyes. "I'm not leaving. Not now. Not ever."
