A Day in the Park✔

11

     The night before the accident

   "Goodnight stars; Goodnight air; Goodnight noises everywhere,"

   "Again, please,"

   Felix smiled, "Stop trying to fight sleep,"

   Selene hummed, "Am not,"

   The brunet giggled lightly and poked Selene's nose, "Yes, you are. Remember we are going to the park tomorrow, so you are going to need energy. Goodnight little moon," Felix said softly.

   "Goodnight dad, I love you,"

    Felix froze. Selene's eyes widened when she realised what she said.

   He smiled, "I think of you as a daughter too, but you don't have to call me dad, if you don't want to,"

    "I want to," Selene mumbled.

   Felix nodded and tucked her in, "Goodnight Moon,"

   Felix turned the light off and left the room.

   Tears welled in his eyes as he went downstairs, "Hyunjinnie," Felix called out softly.

   Hyunjin looked up from his phone, his brows knitting together when he saw tears on Felix's cheeks, "Hold on, Yeji. Angel, why are you crying?"

    "They called me dad and said they love me,"

    Hyunjin smiled and pulled Felix into an embrace, "Why are you crying though, baby?"

    "Because I don't know what else to do,"

   "Oh, my love… Yeji, I'll call you back," Hyunjin said.

  "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow," she said.

Five months later

   The waves crashing filled Selene's ears.

    "How are you feeling, hun?"

   "I miss them," Selene said.

   Yeji pushed some of Selene's hair back and hummed, "I miss them too,"

    Selene scooted closer to Yeji and wrapped her arms around her, "Where do you think they are?" She asked.

    "I think that they are still here with us, watching over us, making sure we are happy,"

    "The night before it happened, I called him dad. I didn't mean to, but I did. I was a little scared, but he smiled at me and said that he sees me as a daughter, but it wasn't necessary for me to call him dad, if I didn't want to," Selene said.

    "The night before it happened, I was on a video call with Hyunjin, it must've been after Felix put you and Sol to sleep, but Felix came into the kitchen and he was crying. Your dad was so worried about him, then I heard him say 'they called me dad and told me they love me'.

   Hyunjin was happy but confused, so he asked Felix why he was crying. Felix told him that it was so cute and he just didn't know how to handle it, after that Hyunjin hung up to comfort Felix," Yeji said.

  Selene smiled and held Yeji tighter.

   "Never forget that they both love you and Sol so much,"

     "I won't,"

  "Guys, we need to talk to you when you get home," Ryujin called out.

   "Yeah, okay! We'll see you after school!" Sol exclaimed.

    "Bye, Aunt Yeji. Bye, Aunt Ryujin," Selene said.
