present day...

"Could you carry Minji? She slept on the couch." Sohyun said, pointing at Minji who was sleeping soundly on the couch.

I nodded and went towards our daughter whose mouth was slightly opened. I chuckled, "Yah, Minji, is our story that lame for you? Why did you sleep?"

I carefully carried her and almost fell on my back, luckily, I had the chance to hold on to the arm rest.

"Aigoo, Minji-yah, don't grow up so fast, hm? I don't want you to grow up yet.." I said, slowly pulling her blanket.

"I don't want you to leave us yet..." I suddenly said out of the blue.

I don't know why, but the thought of my daughter growing up too fast scares me. I don't want her to feel the same way I did when I waited for Sohyun.

"Appa, I won't leave you..." She said, rubbing her eyes.

"You're still up?" I asked.

She slowly nodded, "I heard everything you said, appa.... why would I leave you and eomma? I wouldn't..." She yawned.

I brushed her hair, "Just be good, okay? Appa loves you very much..." I said, lying down beside her.

She placed her arm on my waist, hugging me. "I love you too, appa. You and eomma." She smiled.

I hugged her back.

"Appa is Minji's first love." She said, hugging me tighter. "And appa is also Minji's first love!" She giggled.

I looked at her, "Jinjja? What about Jaehwan?"

She looked at me, disgust was all over her face. "Ew! Why would I like that guy?!"

"I was just kidding, love." I laughed.

She yawned again, "Good night, appa. I love you. Sweet dreams."

"Good night, Minji... appa loves you too. Sweet dreams." I said, slowly standing up, and leaving her room.

"What happened? I thought she was asleep?" Sohyun asked, placing her hand on my waist, like what Minji did earlier.

I sighed, "I thought so too. Turns out, she heard everything I said."

She chuckled, "That's what you get for being too emotional."

"Whaaaat? She's my baby, what can I do?" I laughed.

"Then what am I?"

"You're my love, and both of you are my will to live."

She buried her face on my chest.
