How could..?!!

What in the world is happening?!!

How did he?!!

"Y-you knew each other?"

The moment of our staring contest broke when the kid in the middle of us speak.

"Taejin-ah! I've been looking for you all over the place. I told you to just stay beside me, right? I told you to stay still while I'm talking to Uncle Chim. You scared me. I thought I would just lose you like that." He bombarded the kid with so much questions and statement of worries.

Taejin? Sh-she's Taehyung's daughter? Is he married? Is he.. But where is his wife? She must be here if that's the case.

"Daddy. I'm all right, okay? Besides, if it wasn't because of the woman right there, I would be totally lost." Taejin pointed at me and soon enough, Taehyung looked at me. But there's something deep in his eyes as he looked at me.

Longing?

Oh screw that, Hye! You've hurt him, remember? You left him so it's impossible that he was longing for you. You're getting married and that's what you have to think of before anything else.

"Thank you for keeping my daughter accompanied and safe, Hyejin-ssi." He told me formally in front of his.. Daughter.

"Dad, you really know each other?" Taejin interrupted and we both turn our gaze on the little kid.

"Y-yeah. She's the childhood friend of your Uncle Namjoon. Right, Hyejin?" He smiled at me. But, his smile is far from being genuine as it is 5 years ago.

"Y-yeah, right! It's been a long time, Taehyung-ssi." I smiled at him in return.

"It really is."

"Hyejin-ah!" Someone intruded when we're in the middle of our awkward conversation. Turning my head to look for whoever it is, someone suddenly snaked an arm around my waist and yeah, it's Sungjae.

Great! What a perfect timing it is!

"I've been searching for you, honey." Sungjae uttered without noticing the presence of the two persons in front of us.

"I'm sorry. I just.. I helped a child who was lost earlier. Good thing, his father's already here so we could go now." I cupped his cheek and smiled at him.

As I turn to look at the two persons across me, they both looked surprised. Maybe it was because of the sudden appearance of my fiancé.

"Oh, sorry. Babe, this is the cutie lil girl I'm telling you. Her name is Taejin. And Taehyung-ssi, her father. Taehyung, Taejin.. This is Sungjae, my fiancé."

"Oh, such a cute kid, I see. The lady told me that you didn't like all of the gowns they have presented earlier. What's wrong?"

I pulled away from his embrace and heaved a sigh.

"Yeah.. I don't know either. I just don't like all of those. They were all the same. I want something different. Something fresh. And none of those suit my taste."

"Want me to hire a designer then? We can have your wedding gown be customized." Sungjae suggested.

"Wedding gown? So, you're getting married?!!" The tiny voice that came from the little girl interrupted our talk which made me chuckle.

"Yes, baby girl. I came from the different stores to search for a gown earlier right before I saw you here, crying." I told her as I went closer to her and kneel down.

"Want me to help you look for the perfect gown for you?" Her eyes were full of excitement as she volunteered herself for a help.

As much as I wanted to refuse. I can't just make her feel so down so..

"That would be great. But only if your dad like the idea, too."

I let Taehyung decide for what is better since Taejin is his daughter and he knows what's better for her.

"Daddy? Please?" The little girl showed her adorable pout and puppy dog eyes to her dad, which I noticed Taehyung can't resist.

"Okay, if that's what you want." He said hesitantly while rubbing the back of his head.

"Yipeeee!" Taejin squealed and welcomed me with a hug that made me breathe heavily.

This kid is really adorable. He got all of her attributes from Taehyung. But she doesn't look like him. Maybe she got her looks from her mom. But who is her mom? Do I know her?

Why still bother yourself on thinking about that, Hyejin-ah? Are you out of your mind?

Geez! I thought I'm finally not acquainted from him anymore. But this irresistible kid just change everything.
