He stayed the night over at my house; he slept on the couch and Joon in my bed along with Jihun. The boys slept on my bed because Joon woke up from a nightmare and didn't want to sleep alone. He went to sleep with Hoseok on the couch, next thing I knew, Hoseok was at my bedroom door with Joon in his arms. He asked me if Joon could sleep in my bed because he didn't want him to be uncomfortable on the couch. I complied because I understand the couch is quite small and for a grown man and a small child to lay on comfortably. I accepted and he came in to lay Joon by my side.

I woke up earlier than usual to prepare breakfast for everyone; I look to my side and see Jihun and Joon cuddling up with a pillow each. I smile at how adorable they looked. Making sure they were in the middle of the bed so they wouldn't fall over. I even made a barrier of pillows around the bed, so they wouldn't fall over. I place a kiss on each of their foreheads and smile at their little snores. Making my way to the kitchen, I see Hoseok completely knocked out on my couch. I laugh but I cover my mouth to make sure I don't wake him up. Heading over to him, I look down at him and smile down at him. He's probably very exhausted from yesterday. Talking about yesterday, it was quite interesting I must say. As I prepared breakfast, I tried to be really quiet to not wake anyone up. I began to think about what Hoseok told me about his ex wife.

"Since her heart was no longer with me, she didn't want to keep Joon cause she said he reminded her of me."

This hurt my soul just thinking about how a mother could do that, especially seeing how sweet and precious Joon is. A mother's love is what a child needs and is supposed to have always and she didn't want to give it to him because he looks like her ex husband. I shook my head upset and disapproval.

"Turns out, all this time she had been suffering at the hands of him. Things finally went too far, today at noon he beat her so badly, her fragile body couldn't take it anymore and she gave out just an hour ago."

She was suffering under the hands of her current husband. That made me feel horrible, a woman who suffers under the hand of their significant other is just horrid and it breaks them emotionally just like physically. I sigh.
Those two things he said about her stand out the most. Completely lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice a little hand tugging on my shirt from behind me. I flip the pancake and look under my arm, spotting Joon rubbing his eyes and yawning softly.

"Good morning, Jihun's mommy!" He smiles brightly.
"Good morning, Joonie."

He blushes when I call him 'joonie'. His smile then grew when he saw the stack of pancakes I had made. Joon's eyes were just shining in pure joy. I chuckled softly and turned off the stove. Placing the pancake with the stack I already made, I wash my hands and go down to Joon's level.

"How about we get those teeth of yours brushed and cleaned so we can eat pancakes." I grin.

He nods quickly but then pouts.

"I don't have a toothbrush."
"No worries. I bought extra toothbrushes in case we ran out. So come on, let's get those teeth clean."

I said as I grabbed his hand and walked with him over to the bathroom.

HOSEOK's POV

I wake up and groan as I stretch out. Looking over to my left, I see Misun walking with Joon. They were holding hands as they walked down the hallway. I smile. Seeing them together made me think of the family I wish I had. I wanted Joon to have a mother that loves him unconditionally, be there and care for him like a mother should. A wife that stood by my side no matter what. It pains me to think I just could give Joon that life. I turn over and put my head in the pillow. I felt like I failed Joon. He has no memory of how his mother looks and now she's dead. I could still hear her words ringing in my head.

"Tell Joon I'm sorry and that I regret not being there for him like I should have."

I was angry, hurt and extremely upset. If only I would have seen it sooner, Joon would still have his mother by his side. Maybe I could save our marriage but if only I could have saved the relationship between Joon and his mother. So they could have stayed together. I feel a little tap on my shoulder and I look over to see Misun smiling. Joon was by her side along with Jihun.

"Morning!" The three of them said.

I chuckle and eyesmile brightly.

"Morning, you three!"

I reply and smile at how adorable all three of them looked. Misun takes a hold of their hands and walks them over to the dining room. I admire the way she looks with them. She's a heart mother to Jihun. As I thought about it, I dozed off, not noticing Misun calling my name.

"Hoseok?"

I shake my head and stand up.

"Yes?"

I walk towards the dining room. She puts her hands up in front of her signaling me to stop. She giggles and shakes her head.

"You can't eat yet. I left a new toothbrush for you in the bathroom. While you brush your teeth, I'll get your plate ready."

I nod and head on over to the bathroom. Misun nods as well. I look over my shoulder and I see her smiling down at Joon and Jihun. Which caused me to smile warmly and feel lovely. I could tell she truly loved my little Joon.
