A/N: the end of this is horrible, but I worked on this a few weeks ago (like two or three) and forgot about it and couldn't think of a way to end it so it kinda ended abruptly in my opinion, but I hope you enjoy anyway!

"We've already gone over this, Minho!" Minho's ex-girlfriend couldn't help but raise her voice.
"We have," Minho admitted with a nod. "And I told you I'd tell her to stop!" He snapped just as equally loud.
"You won't! I've been telling you for weeks to tell her to stop, and she hasn't. I don't want Hyojin around that." You explained, referring to Minho's current girlfriend, Ailee, who has a habit of smoking cigarettes. You'd caught her last week when you stopped by to pick up your daughter from her father, she'd been smoking around the three-year-old. You've scolded Minho hundreds of times for his girlfriends' behavior, and he always said he'd speak to her about it. Maybe he had, you hadn't been there for it though. But if he did, Ailee was incredibly rude and didn't care.
You even politely told Ailee to quit, at least around Hyojin. It wasn't right of you to straight up tell her to quit permanently when it wasn't your business and when you didn't know what she was going through, but you at least wanted her to stop around your three-year-old. You could've been a lot meaner during those times, but decided that wasn't right either, also afraid Minho would somehow blame you if she ever broke up with him. You didn't want to be blamed, not for something that didn't necessarily even involve you.
He just never listened. He never learns, and he never will. You wished that every time you came to see him, you didn't have to argue. Because at the end of the day that was the last thing you wanted to do after work, arguing over already discussed things were starting to get old. You still loved him, he was your daughters' father. You wanted to work this out, you truly, truly did. But he was making it extremely hard.
Opening your mouth, you muttered, "If you can't respect that and don't want to listen when it comes to bettering Hyojin's life, then maybe she shouldn't go with you anymore." You stated boldly from your standing position in the middle of the living room, hands at work with the laundry you were contently folding before Minho knocked on the door ten minutes ago begging if Hyojin could spend the weekend with him.
Your answer was no. It had been no ever since you caught Ailee smoking in front of Hyojin while she was playing with her toys.
"Seriously? You can't keep her away from me. She's my daughter too." He sounded incredibly childish, but honesty was behind his words. And he was right. You couldn't keep her away from him, and you didn't want to have to do that. He was her daughter, they had a special bond, it was wrong of you to do that.
"I understand that. But I don't want her around things like that— people like that!" Angrily throwing the clean clothes onto the couch you tiredly yelled, "I've told you thousands of times, and you never listen." The tall man's eyes rolled, he began pacing in front of you, hands running through the blond tips of his hair.
