Talking Things Out

I woke up the next morning with both kids jumping on me.

"What's up you two? Why this early?"

"Dada usually gets up at this time and feeds the animals and gives them their morning ride."

"We turned off his alarm so he could sleep in and you could do it with us."

"Sure. Let's go. I am going to get ready and then we can go ok?"

"Sounds good."

They ran out of the room. I got up and went downstairs to my suitcases that I brought yesterday. I got out our team hoodie and a pair of sweat pants. I walked over to the back door. The sunset was beautiful.

"Ready papa?"

"Yep let's go. Show me the way."

They pulled my hands and ran through the fields laughing. I started to laugh too.

"Here are the horses papa."

I looked and there were 10 horses and 15 stalls. Each of the stalls that were occupied had our names on it. I looked into my stall and saw a pure black horse. I fell in love.

"Did the other member pick there's?"

"No, dada and uncle Hannie picked out which ones they thought that you all would like."

"He definitely accomplished what he was wanting to accomplish."


Time Skip an hour


We let them roam around a bit before I got everything ready. We all got on my horse and started riding around on the 5 acre fenced in field. Then we went on the trail through the forest to the edge of the hill. The sun was rising. It was beautiful. I took pictures and sent them to my parents. 

"Papa?"

"Yes."

"Why were you and dada mad at each other yesterday?"

"Joon-woo, we aren't mad at each other."

They both gave me the 'are you sure' look.

"Yes we are not mad at each other. We just need time to talk some things out soon."

"You can do that today."

"No. I will wait until I feel the time is right."

They just looked away at the sunrise. This was all apparently taking a toll on all of us. I sighed. I had to fix things soon. We got off and just sat down on the grass. I took a video of the view and put it on Insta. I put my phone away and sat down with the kids. We were there for an hour just talking and messing around. Aera fell asleep on my chest 10 minutes ago. 

"Ok buddy let's get going back. Your dada and the other boys are going to be worried. They should of been here 20 minutes ago."

"Ok"

I set him on the horse and then set Aera in his arms. I got on and put her in my hoodie. She had her head on my chest. I pulled Joon-woo closer and started riding back. Slower than the first time because of Aera. I appreciated nature more this time than last time. 

We got to the edge of the field and saw all of the horses out in the field. Chan, I.N, Hongjoong and Seonghwa were on the field with the horses. They saw us and called the other boys. Felix came out the door with red eyes and every one else having a concerned or worried face. 

I got off of the horse and opened the gate and then got back on. I rode over to them and got off. I put Joon-woo on the ground and Felix came over to him and picked him up. He looked over to me.
