Life's flows

The morning sun was gentle as it bathed the garden in a warm, golden glow. Felix walked slowly along the path, his son cradled in his arms, the child's tiny head resting peacefully against his shoulder. The boy, a calm and content baby, had a serene expression as he observed the world around him with wide, curious eyes.

Beside Felix, I.N. was carrying his own daughter, Mina, who was anything but calm. The little girl squirmed and fussed in his arms, her face scrunched up as if she was on the verge of tears. I.N. bounced her lightly, trying to soothe her, but Mina was determined to make her displeasure known.

"Is she always like this?" Felix asked with a chuckle, glancing at the wriggling bundle in I.N.'s arms.

I.N. sighed dramatically, though his smile was fond. "Pretty much. She's just like her father—loud, demanding, and always needing attention."

Felix laughed, the sound soft and light in the tranquil morning air. "Well, she certainly has a set of lungs on her. But she's adorable, just like you."

I.N. smiled at the compliment, though his eyes were tired. "Thanks, Felix. It's exhausting, though. She's always crying or wanting to be held. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing something wrong."

Felix shook his head, his expression understanding. "You're doing just fine, I.N. Every baby is different. My boy is pretty calm, but I know that could change any day. You're a great parent, and Mina's lucky to have you."

I.N. glanced down at Mina, who had finally settled, her big eyes blinking up at him. "I guess. She just takes after her dad so much. It's like having two of him in the house."

Felix smirked, unable to resist teasing. "Well, at least that means she's got a lot of love to give. You and Hyunjin are both so full of love—it's no wonder Mina's so passionate."

They both laughed at that, the tension easing as they continued their slow walk through the garden. The conversation drifted to lighter topics, and soon they found themselves near the edge of the garden where a few cats lounged in the sun.

Mina, now calm, reached out toward one of the cats, her chubby fingers grasping at the air. "Look at her, already going after the cats," I.N. said, amusement coloring his voice. "She's going to be a handful when she starts crawling."

Felix nodded, shifting his son slightly so he could crouch down and pet one of the cats that had wandered over. The cat purred loudly, rubbing its head against Felix's hand. "It's nice out here, isn't it? Just us and the babies. Peaceful."

I.N. hummed in agreement. "Yeah, it's nice to have some quiet time. With everyone else at work, it's just us and the kids. I like it."

Felix smiled softly, the warmth of the sun and the peacefulness of the garden wrapping around him like a comforting blanket. "I like it too."

Meanwhile, inside the house, Han quietly made his way to the bedroom where Hyunjin was still sleeping. The curtains were drawn, allowing only a sliver of morning light to seep into the room, casting a soft glow over Hyunjin's relaxed features. Han smiled to himself as he approached the bed, his heart swelling with affection for the man sleeping so peacefully.

Han slipped into the bed beside Hyunjin, careful not to wake him too abruptly. He leaned in, brushing a gentle kiss against Hyunjin's forehead, then his cheek, and finally his lips. The kisses were soft, tender, and full of love, a sweet way to start the morning.

Hyunjin stirred at the sensation, his eyes fluttering open to find Han smiling down at him. A sleepy smile tugged at Hyunjin's lips as he reached up to cup Han's cheek, pulling him in for a deeper kiss. Their lips met in a slow, lazy kiss that was more about the connection between them than anything else.
