The only thing that has been on my mind the past two weeks is Haru and Luna.  A small thought of even losing them makes me want to go to the Byun household myself and tell them that they have no right whatsoever, but Yifan and Joonmyun told me that night that they’ll handle everything.

                I sighed, biting my lip as I stared at myself in the mirror.  Autumn is slowly transitioning to winter and it’s freezing outside, but it is nonetheless a beautiful day.  I finally have a free class day and I’m spending it with Haru, Luna, and Daehyun.

                Ah, Daehyun.

                He’s been a great person to ever come into my life since I started to fall into depression.  When I begin to feel sad that I can’t see Haru and Luna, he’ll start to comfort me.  Whenever I’m alone at home, he’ll surprise me with a cup of coffee for both of us and some junk food to brighten up my mood.  Without him to help me slow get over my heartbreak, I can’t imagine where I’ll be right now.

                Dead? Maybe not, but it is a possibility.

                All this pain and stress is too unbelievable.  College is hard enough, but then there’s fighting for custody over my kids and getting over heartbreak that no one except my close friends know of.  The only days that help me erase the stress of the past are days like this when I get to spend the day with the twins and Daehyun.

                Another sigh escaped my lips and I washed my hands, flicking the water and wiping them dry with a towel beside me.  My eye bags bothered me but I ignored it as I unlocked the bathroom door and turned off the light.  I made my way to the nursery where I immediately saw Daehyun playing with Haru and Luna, both of my kids laughing at his silly faces.  I watched at the entrance, leaning against the doorframe with a hand propped on my hip.

                Luna’s magical laughter calmed my nerves and I looked directly at Daehyun who was now teasing Haru with a stuffed bear that he bought for him.  I pursed my lips as more thoughts of what Daehyun has done for these kids streamed through my head.  He’s done an impressive amount that even overwhelms me. 

                I glanced at Haru and Luna again and smiled.  Their happiness fills mine, and seeing Daehyun being the root of their happiness makes me feel content.  I’m guessing that these two had enough of two women and needed a man in their lives.

                Not just any man; a father. 

                Daehyun and I are nothing more than really good friends, but he acts fatherly towards these two.  He’s been watching them grow alongside me and it’s felt like a long time even though it’s been only a few weeks since he met them.

                “What are you smiling at?”

                I jumped out of my trance as Daehyun’s words shook me.  A small laugh entered my ears as I focused on him, who was looking at me with humor-filled eyes.  I saw he was carrying Haru and Luna properly, not even minding that both of them were somewhat slapping his face and giggling.

                “You three,” I answered honestly, walking towards him and taking Haru from his hold. “I love seeing them so happy.”

                “Nothing’s better than a baby’s happiness; it’s a blessing that there’s double the amount,” Daehyun mused.  I kissed Luna’s forehead and grinned, cocking my head towards the entrance and walking out of their bedroom and going downstairs.  I grabbed my bag with my free hand and headed to the front door, kicking on my boots.  Daehyun easily slid on his shoes and strode towards the front door, opening it and letting in the cold, autumn air and warm sunlight.
