*18+ SCENE AHEAD*

~Later that same day~

Esther unlocks the front door upon entering, along with Baekhyun. "Where is he?" He whispers, shutting the door behind him.

"He's probably in his room resting." She whispers, setting down the keys.

Both of them went up the stairs and Esther approaches her son's room. Slowly turning the door knob, she opens the door to see Mina and Jake sleeping peacefully without a care in the world.

"How adorable." Esther whispers.

The light from the open door woke Jake up. He rubs eyes open as he yawns. He sat up on his bed stretching his arms out and he smiles. "Mommy!!" He run to her.

Esther picks him up and she embraces him. "My baby!" She whispers. Jake looks up and he eyes widen as he saw his father standing next to Esther.

"Papa!!" Jake throws himself onto Baekhyun's arms. "I missed you so much!" Baekhyun holds onto him tightly.

"I'm sorry that I wasn't able to see you earlier. How are you feeling, son?" He asks, patting his son's back.

"My head was burning and I threw up." He pouts.

"Did you take your medicine?" He asks and nods. "That's a good boy."

"Wow. I'm surprised she still asleep." Esther says as Mina was snoring quietly.

"Why don't you go shower and dedicate this time to yourself while I spend time with my boy?" Baekhyun whispers.

"Of course." She kisses Baekhyun's cheek as she heads to the bathroom.

~An hour later~

Esther was tying her hair in a bun as she was walking downstairs, only to see Baekhyun and Jake sleeping on the couch. The smile on her face lit up as she pulls out a blanket over them.

"You two are my sole reasons to live." She whispers. "You brought back my smile after I spent years alone in the dark."

"And you're right Baekhyun. I don't care if we get caught. As long as I have you by my side, I know I can go on."

~The next morning~

Esther helped Mina walk down the stairs carefully while Jake and Baekhyun were in kitchen.

"Your foot needs to step on that step." Esther says, holding her arm.

"I know where to step." She groans as she cautiously takes a steps down the stairs without straining herself.

"I hate these stairs!" She says. "We're almost there!" Esther says.

"Do I smell Bacon cooking in the background?" Mina asks.

"Yes."

Both of them reach down the stairs, where Esther assists her to the kitchen. "Is that Baekhyun cooking?!" She asks.

"Aunt Mi!" Jake runs to her.

"Hey critter!" She greets him. "Let me help!!"
