"So how is life as a married couple?" asked Eric during an interview.

"It's great," you answered.

"And life as parents?"

"It's... yeah," answered Mark.

"Hard?"

"It's not hard," you said. "I mean it is but Mark is having more trouble handling the kids than me."

"You guys have three, right?"

"Yeah."

"Two boys and one girl?"

"Yeah. Takuya, Dalbong, and Phawat."

"The names are interesting."

"We wanted the names to be from different countries. Takuya, Japanese, Dalbong, Korean, and Phawat, Thai."

"What's next?"

"Proabably an English name."

"So Mark, how do you take care of the children?"

"It's almost impossible to do it alone. The middle child is the trouble child," said Mark.

"Mark just can't handle them," you said. "I left Mark with the kids for one day... never doing that again." You laughed with Eric.

"That bad?" asked Eric.

You nodded and told the story.

TWO WEEKS AGO

"I got this!" said Mark as he put down your six months old baby on the bed on the floor.

"Three kids Mark!" you said. "You have three! Remember that! That means you have to take care of all three!"

"I got it!"

"Maybe I should as Koosung to help you since he's good with the kids."

"Why ask him!?" cried Mark. "He's already busy teaching 1Million Dance Studio!"

"Look. I get you taking care of two kids, but this time, you have an extra child to look after."

"____, I got this! Go to work!"

"If you need help, Takuya can be your extra helping hands. He may be five, but he helps out a lot. And please watch Dalbong. Instead of terrible twos, he's in his trouble threes. I need you to make sure Dalbong does not go out of control and he has to take his medicine soon. Make sure he eats before he takes the medicine."

"____, I know!"

"I'm sorry. I'm just scared because it's one thing taking care of two children, but it's another taking care of two children and three year old Dalbong who always find his way into trouble. I swear he gets that from hanging around Yugyeom too much."

"Eomma! Eomma!" cried your middle child, Dalbong as he ran to hug your leg. "Don't go! Don't go!"

"Dalbong, eomma have to go to work. Stay home with daddy."

"I don't want to!"

"Dalbong, stay home with daddy and take your medicine. I will try to come home as soon as possible."

"I don't want to take my medicine!"

"You have to."

"I don't!"

"Dalbong! You wont?"

"I won't!"

You looked up at Mark. "Good luck with that. Dalbong, eomma have to go to work."

"No!"

Mark pulled your middle son away from you. "Don't worry! I got this!" Mark said as he struggled to hold Dalbong back.

"I'll try to come back as soon as possible! I promise!" You rushed out the house, leaving Mark alone with your three kids.

Dalbong got loose and went into a corner crying. Your youngest started to cry too.

Your oldest son Takuya walked over and looked around the room at the craziness going around.

"Takuya!" said Mark. "Help appa and feed your baby sister. Phawat is hungry." Mark walked over to Dalbong in the corner. "Dalbong, appa needs to give you medicine!"

"No!" cried Dalbong with his arms crossed.

"Eomma said you have to."

"She's not here!" He ran into his brother's room.

Takuya quickly put down his little sister and ran into his room. Mark ran over to carry Phawat and continued to feed her baby milk. Mark heard screaming and yelling from the room.

"Dalbong! Stop it!" Mark heard Takuya yelled. "That's mine!"

Mark went into the room to see the two arguing. "What is going on?"

"Dalbong is playing with my stuff!"

Dalbong ran over and wrapped his arms around Mark's leg. "Hyung kicked me!" he cried.

"Takuya, did you kicked your little brother?" asked Mark.

"He started it! I told him to move and he wouldn't!"

Mark didn't know what to do. "Dalbong did you touch Takuya's belongs?"

"I did!" said Dalbong as if it wasn't a problem.

"Apologize for touch his belongings without permission."

"Sorry!" Dalbong said, probably not meaning it.

Takuya apologize for kicking him.

"Sorry!" Takuya said also sounding like he didn't mean it.

But in the end it did stopped the yelling and they all went seperate ways. Five minutes into the peace and quiet, they started arguing again.

It happened all day until you finally came home and the kids listened to you as you told them what to do.

PRESENT

"Of course when I came home, the house was a mess," you said.

"The boys argued over every little thing, taking things from one another and before I knew it, their things were everywhere on the floor," said Mark.

"Mark you have to learn how to take care of your children!" said Eric.

"So now I hired a babysitter or have JYP PD-nim take care of the kids. Or sometimes the 2PM sunbae takes care of them," you explained.

"It's not as easy as you think especially when you have Dalbong who loves trouble," said Mark.

"Junior oppa can take care of all three by himself. It's just you, Mark," you teased, know Mark is trying the best he can.

Mark looked a little upset.

"But not matter what, he's still a great husband and a great dad," you smiled. "He takes care of our family so well. He tries to make everyone in the family happy and support us in everything we do." You grabbed Mark's hand. "He's best, perfect husband anyone can ever ask for and I'm happy he's the father of my children."

"Really?" asked Mark.

"Of course."

Mark raised your hand and kissed the back of your hand. "I love you."

"I'm sorry I don't feel the same way," Eric said before I could say anything.

You looked at Eric who ruined the moment."

The three of you laughed.

A/N: I know the ending sucks... or thus whole story sucks. But I am going to try to make then next one better. Sorry guys! Love you all!
