Maybe I'm your truth and your lie
Maybe I'm your love and hate
Maybe I'm your enemy and friend
Your heaven and hell, your pride and embarrassment

Make up to wake up today too
And dress up to mask on
In order to become the me that you love
In order to become the one that you love


Present time

Yoongi got up at 6 today. He said he wanted to go to work early and come back right away since it would be the weekend. As usual, I prepared breakfast and his favorite coffee before he headed down to his studio. "Nami, do you have plans this weekend?"

" Huh? I'm thinking of going out with my friend Byeul if she's off today; if not, I'll probably just go to my apartment to relax, drink soju, and binge-watch on Netflix."

"Nami like what I've told you before you don't need to go to your apartment for that; you can just stay here and we can relax, drink, and watch together," he said while biting his lip.

"Gosh, this man will put me in an early grave if he keeps on flirting with me," I muttered to myself. "Uhm, sure," I answered shyly while seated on the dining chair and drinking my coffee.

Yoongi stood up from the dining chair and whispered in a low voice "I have to go to the studio now" He was towering over me while I was still seated, he was too close, dangerously close when he leaned over, kissed me on the head, and hugged me gently. "I'll see you when I get back," he said timidly, watching for my reaction.

"Ok, be careful driving," I smiled. He was still standing in front of me, refusing to move. "Hey, I thought you needed to leave for work.

"I know... but I want to stay with you," he pouted.

"Aish Yoongi just go, you'll be late. I have coffee for you on the coffee travel cup and croissants. And I packed lunch for you so make sure you eat them ok?"

"Yes, Maam " smiling widely 

When Yoongi left, Minjae woke up and was a little under the weather.

"Baby girl, how are you?" I asked

"Mommy, I don't feel good," Minjae spoke while lying on the couch.

"Oh no, my baby girl is sick". I gently placed the back of my hand on her forehead to check her temperature. "You have a slight fever, princess; let's put you back in bed, and I'll bring you breakfast—eggs, rice, and milk; is that ok?"

"I like that, Mommy."

I helped Minjae go back to bed fed her breakfast and medicine for her fever. After about half an hour, she fell asleep again. I texted Yoongi and told him that the baby girl was sick. He replied right away and said that he would come home soon. I told him not to worry because it was just a slight fever. Yoongi came back around 4 in the afternoon. "How's the princess?" He asked

"She's a lot better; she doesn't have a fever anymore, just fatigue, so I just have her stay in bed for the whole day while playing on her tablet." Yoongi went to his room to shower and change into house clothes. He found me in the kitchen, gathering ingredients to cook for dinner. He noticed that I looked tired, so he said...

"Nami-ya, don't bother cooking dinner anymore; we should just order. You look tired; just relax. It's the weekend anyway."

"Yoongi, I should at least cook porridge for Princess; she finished the one I prepared for lunch."

"Just the porridge, ok?"

I finished preparing the porridge for Minjae and brought the food to her room. Minjae was looking a lot better than this morning.
