Min Ja didn't take to long to adjust to her new life. Before you knew it, when you would go pick her up, she would be with San-Ha and groups of other friends, the group of them running around the playground by the school property while they waited for their parents to come and pick them up. A few little girls and boys, all in their uniforms as they happily laughed and chased each other around. You had to go through a lot of agreeing with Weong-Bin, but ultimately agreed it would be a good idea to let him get the girls directly from school and daycare on Wednesdays, giving you more time to work and make your way home without rushing.

It was actually a Wednesday today, and Weong-Bin had approached the park his daughter was playing at. He was sitting on a bench, watching as Min Ja swung from the monkey bars, flinging her legs in an attempt to get away from the little boy who was considered 'it' in their game of tag. She seemed to be having a good time, and had no reason to rush her for now, Hyo Bin's daycare was still open for a good portion of time. As he watched his daughter, his mind was wandering.

Min Ja only started school almost 2 weeks ago, so a majority of the school day was spent getting to understand how school worked, and getting to know each other. Min Ja, being the extrovert, she was, had no problem doing so, and she would be so excited to share her days with whoever picked her up. Weong-Bin was infuriated that he could only pick her up once a week. He was her father; he had a right to see his girls whenever he wanted. However, the courts didn't see it that way, and he was stuck with only one weekday and every other weekend. Every other weekend?! He thought it was absolutely ridiculous. Meanwhile Hoseok got to see them every day and then some, when he wasn't even their father! The thought just...every time he thought about it, it infuriated him. When he felt his blood pressure rising, he stood up from the bench he was sitting on.

"Min Ja!" He called. His daughter looked up from the slide she was just about to go down. "Come on, it's time to go. We need to go get your sister." She pouted.

"Five more minutes?" She called out.

"No, I'm sorry. We need to get dinner!" Min Ja huffed, saying goodbye to her friends as she slid down the slide. She hurried over to her father, grabbing her backpack and slinging it over her shoulder.

"Mr. Hobi lets me stay five more minutes." She mumbled. Weong-Bin felt his blood rise even higher, but he took a deep breath to make sure it stayed leveled.

"Well, I'm sorry honey, but I'm not Mr. Hobi. I have a job to do." He said simply, taking her hand as they began walking down the street. Min Ja looked up at her dad as they walked. She wasn't stupid, she could sense when he was irritated.

"I'm sorry, Daddy..." she said softly. Weong-Bin glanced down at his daughter, sighing softly. He scooped her up into his arms.

"Don't be sorry. Daddy just has a lot on his mind."

"Like what?" Min Ja asked. It took him a moment to think of what he wanted to say, but he knew he should say something.

"Min Ja, Daddy is going to talk to you like a big girl, okay?" Min Ja's eyes showed a glimmer of a sparkle. She loved being spoken to like a big kid. "Do you know that Daddy loves Mommy very much?" He saw her nod, and he smiled a bit. "Good. Because I do. I love your Mommy very, very much."

"Then why don't you live with us anymore?" she asked curiously.

"Well, Daddy made a lot of mistakes for a long time." He said. "So...Mommy told me I couldn't live with you guys if I was going to make mistakes, it made us fight a lot."

"I know." Min Ja nodded.

"But Mommy said if I learned how to stop making so many mistakes, I could come live with you and Hyo Bin again." Her eyes went wide.
