"Mama, why is my left thumb like this?" I asked as draw Iron man.
"You got it from your father." My mother said as she tidied the crayons strewn on the floor.
"Papa doesn't have this." I said.
"Your father in the photo." She smiled.

"Yeonwoo! Yeonwoo!" Irene called on my side. "I know you're bored but just choose which bowtie!"
I was taken back into reality. I pointed the bowtie on the display. We went back to her apartment but what Heeyoung told me was still haunting me.
Irene lay down on my lap as I was reading some internet articles about my deformity. "Daddy is asking about kids already? Can you believe that?" Irene said.
"Don't you want kids?" I asked while I looked at her.
"I don't know." Irene said. "My niece is cute though."
I kissed her forehead as another memory flashed by me.
Jessie squeezed herself on my lap as I was answering some office emails.
"I'm working." I said.
"I'll behave." She winked. "I love watching you working." I looked down to her and she was smiling mischievously. Immediately, I gave her one lingering kiss.
"Oppa, do you like kids?" She asks.
"Yes, I supposed." I said not really listening but reading my emails.
"How many do you want us to have?" She asks as she looked at my laptop as well.
"Do you want one now?" I smiled at her. "I have to marry you first."
"You have to tell my papa first." She said.
I'd rather not remember what comes after that. It was one of the worst fight we had. "Let's talk about kids after we got married." I told Irene.

I was waiting near the church's door. Fidgetting as my father tried to calm me down by offering some jokes when my mother called him worriedly. I saw Heeyoung in her bridesmaid dress scratching and squirming. She noticed I was looking and approached me.
"You look handsome today, oppa." She said and I chuckled.
"Just today?" I said.
"Everyday but you look more dashing in your tuxedo." She said.
"You look beautiful in your dress as well. I'm glad you finally let your hair grow longer." I said. Her normal boy's cut is now way past her shoulder.
"Seokju loves to pull my hair." She cocked her brows at me. I pinched her sides and she started laughing when she tried to stop me. After our talk, she seems to be more open about discussing her life to me. Sometimes too open about their sex life but I guess it's better than her shunning me off.
"I'm just kidding. Irene's dad must be rich. You were able to invite everyone. Seokju saw me and cried. I bet you're gonna cry, too." She looked around. "Hey! What's taking everybody so long. I really want to get out of this dress."
