"Are you ready?" Jimin questioned with a worried glance, his hand softly moving up and down Haneul's back.

"As ready as I would ever be." Haneul exhaled deeply, and walked towards the bed to carry Hyun who was dressed adorably with his own matching suit with a cute little red bow tucked in front.

Today was the day when the royal family would officially announce Hyun's existence to the country, to the entire world. Haneul was nervous, needless to say, but she knew that with Jimin by her side, she would be alright.

She recalled the time when the news of their divorce broke out in the country. Even though she wasn't a celebrity, there were still paparazzis trying to stalk her whereabouts, making it hard for her to go out and especially to the hospital for her checkups.

The paparazzis eventually gave up when they couldn't locate her anywhere as she spent most of her time hiding in her grandparent's old home at the countryside, with Seokjin insisting to take care of her so he moved in as well.

Haneul was eternally grateful for her family and Seokjin.

"What are you thinking?" Jimin's question snap her out from her short trip of her memory lane in the car.

"Nothing much, just... nervous to be out in the public after such a long time." Haneul admitted, her fingers twirling around Hyun's baby hairs.

Clutching her hand, Jimin squeezed it with assurance, his eyes gazing into her own ones. "Don't worry, I'll be here for you and Hyunnie. Always."

"Okay." Haneul sighed, and to Jimin's delight, she didn't let go of his hand.

Baby steps, Jimin. Baby steps.

Upon arriving at the venue - a prestigious hotel in Seoul, reporters immediately started doing their works by pushing each other against the barriers placed on both sides of the red carpet leading into the hotel. Jimin grunted in annoyance, not liking the fact that the camera flashes would be blinding his two love ones.

"Stay close to me." Jimin instructed, and Haneul nodded her head obediently with Hyun in her arms, his small hands holding onto his mother dearly.

Just as he thought, the moment the bodyguard opened the door, cameras and shouts instantly engulfed the area, and with a stern glance shot by Jimin towards their personal bodyguards, the men went to work by calming the crowd down.

The crowd did calm down after getting threatened by the guards that if they were to behave recklessly, they would be asked to leave the venue.

Getting off the car first, Jimin stepped out and waited for Haneul to get out as well. His heart did a small thump at how ethereal she looked with her short hair flowing down smoothly as she exited the car with their son in her arms, his face hidden in the crook of her neck.
