If you would've told him in the past he would have two kids and a beautiful wife by the age of 30, he would've laughed dead in your face.

Because that's how it felt to Jimin.

Sometimes when he got to come home to hugs from his son and daughter or a kiss from his wife, it often didn't feel real. That maybe he didn't deserve that kind of love from his family, but everyone around thought differently.

Especially his long time sweetheart Armani.

Even though she was now 27, she was blossoming at such an older age. It didn't feel that long ago that the two had met but looking at how their life is now, he soon comes to realize it.

He thought he would still be grieving over Si-woo leaving, still believing that everything was his fault.

But, he felt at peace now.

The woman appeared in his mind every once in a while, wondering where she ended up at or if she's even still alive.

It pains him sometimes when Aera asked about her, but he never failed to remind her who she really was.

Yes, she was her actual mother. But, if Aera had to choose between Armani or Si-woo;

She would choose Armani.

Ever since she was just a baby, she shared a special bond with Armani. She admired her beauty and how she natured her at such a young age. That even though she was just 19, she already had the characteristics of a mother.

Like the first time she saw her in that cafe, sitting in her lap and playing with the pretty necklace that sat around her neck. At the time she could only talk gibberish but Armani knew it was out of love.

And that leads to now.

Of course it wasn't just Aera now, she had a  brother.

Elijah.

He was born a few years after she was, growing peacefully inside the womb of Armani. Aera sometimes remembers when she used to give her baby bump slobbery kisses as love to her baby brother.

But now he was 14, the two of them sharing the same kind of mindset but slightly different. He wasn't fully matured yet, puberty getting the best of him.

But he wasn't the type of brother that came into their sisters room unannounced or annoyed someone for hours on end.

If he did want to tease his sister, it was a rare occasion that it happened.

They shared a good relationship as two siblings.

Elijah was more-so the little duckling that looked up to Aera. Even though she could be quiet and distant at times, she still had a bright side to her.

Sometimes in weekends, he would come into her room and they would talk or watch movies.

It was less pressure taken off Armani and Jimin, seeing that their behavior with each other was better than they imagined it.

And even if they were to have another baby, they hoped that special bond they shared would never loose it's precious light.
