Toddler - [TAEBIN FF]

Chapter 40

Yerim flipped the next page of the album, showing Juhyeok a picture straight out of a fairy tale.

"This was when Mom and Dad got married!"

"Waaaaah... you're beautiful Taeyeon!" Juhyeok exclaimed.

Taeyeon smiled.

"Why thank you."

Shortly after his date with Soobin, Taeyeon texted him, congratulating the two of them on their newly formed relationship (Yerim told her as soon as she could), while also inviting them to their house for a celebratory meal.

Touched by her efforts, Taehyun accepted, and instantly informed Soobin and Juhyeok about it, who gleefully expressed their excitement to go.

"Back then she still had black hair, but I like her hair color like this more," Yerim complimented her.

"It suits you well," Taehyun responded.

Taeyeon chuckled.

"Thank you. I remember when I came home with pink hair for the first time; Baekhyun nearly dropped my favorite plates on the ground."

Baekhyun sighed in embarrassment.

"Must you bring that up?"

"Yes, because your reaction was hilarious!"

"It sounds quite amusing indeed," Soobin replied.

The conversation was interrupted by the doorbell ringing, a seemingly regular occurrence with them.

Everyone glanced towards the direction of the main entrance with curious eyes.

"Are you expecting more guests?" Soobin questioned.

"Not exactly— Taengoo..." Baekhyun reprimanded.

She raised her arms in defense.

"What? I didn't invite anyone else!"

"Then who is it?" Yerim asked.

"Baekhyun, would you please open the door?"

He sighed.

"Fine."

Baekhyun stood up from his seat and opened the door. A gasp escaped his mouth.

"What—"

"Surprise!!"

Yerim's ears perked up when she heard two familiar voices, and she instantly leapt off her chair to run towards the main entrance, also gasping loudly.

"Grandma, Grandpa!!!"

"Hey little bean!!!"

Her grandma hugged her granddaughter tightly, while her grandpa tousled her hair.

"You've grown much taller!"

"I know," Yerim giggled.

"And you're taking so much after your father; our genes are something," Grandpa Byun joked.

Baekhyun laughed.

"Her beauty comes from her mother too."

"That's right; Taeyeon dear!"

Taeyeon stood up when she recognized her mother-in-law's voice.

"Excuse me."

"No problem," Soobin smiled.

"Juhyeok, come meet my grandparents!" Yerim exclaimed.

Juhyeok looked at his parents, who nodded.

"You can go," Taehyun said.
