It was barely 24 hours since she last saw Jimin, and Yeoul could not lie to herself how much she missed his warm presence already. To be able to meet Jimin yesterday was already felt too good to be true. On positive side, she could tell how happy Minyeol was and now he had something to boast with his friends. Poor boy, Yeoul had no one to blame but herself for all the misfortune that her kid had to experience at this age. She took a last glance of her look from the mirror and exited her room with a smile.

"Morning Yeoul" she was welcome with Taehwan handsome face who was busy shredding the chicken meat with his bare hand for Minyeol. If anyone witnessed this scene right now, people would say they were a happy family.

"Why I am not surprised you are here" Yeoul shook her head took and went to Minyeol "Good morning mommy's handsome son, how are you feeling?" she planted a soft kiss at the side of his head.

Minyeol looked up with a cute grin "morning morning my beautiful mommy. Minyeol is in a good mood today and is very happy" he giggled. Taehwan gave them a look while raising his eyebrows, he felt left out.

"Now, what are you both not telling me? This is unfair." he turned to squish Minyeol cheeks together "Tell uncle why are you so giddy today?"the younger boy squirmed with a slight pout while shaking his head frantically.

"Mommy and I went to meet daddy yesterday" he exclaimed. Upon hearing that Taehwan's face felt with as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He felt something hard tugging his heart drowning him in.

Yeoul noticed the change in his expression and immediately blurted out "We went to Bangtan fansign yesterday" she took a seat across them avoiding his hard gaze. She knew he would be upset if Taehwan found out she went to Seoul by her own without him. His natural protective instinct sometimes was too much but she understood it was for her own good.

"And..?Did you see him?" Taehwan cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness. He was jealous, hell yeah. Why wouldn't he? The girl that he loved went to see the daddy of her son, of course all the negative thoughts rushed in one go.

"Yes.." she hummed softly. At this rate she had no idea why she must be afraid of telling Taehwan the truth. She owed him nothing and it was pretty clear there was still boundary between them. He was just a friend for now.

His breath hitched as he never took his eyes off her, examining her expression "How does it feel?" he inquired.

"Weird. But I miss him" she had to be honest in any kind of conversation that she had now with Taehwan. It was the truth, her heart yearned for Jimin god knows for years. Indeed, after years being away from each other, her heart bloomed again. Her love for Jimin never faded.

Minyeol who was so indulged in his breakfast paid no attention on any of the adults at the table. He might be a smart kid and he literally understood the details of their conversation yet Minyeol learned manners at school, to never butt in when adults were having a tense conversation.

Taehwan let out a soft sigh "That was too risky for you to go there with Minyeol. What if the fans or press found out he is his son. You will be doomed" he stroked Minyeol's hair softly. He grew attached to the younger boy ever since he befriended Yeoul. Ever since then, his only concerned was to protect both Yeoul and Minyeol. After he discovered Jimin was the father, he grew anxious for no reason mainly due to the fact he was an idol. Things had never been good every time idols caught up in a romance. It ended badly because of the pressure from society especially their fans.

"I know and I cant lie to my own kid all the time Taehwan. Sooner or later I have to bring him to meet his own father right? He is just a kid. I made him suffer enough without the love that he deserved from his own dad" she eyed Taehwan as Yeoul tried not to break down in front of him. That was the last thing she hoped.
