JUYEON POV

Juyeon was unsure of what he should tell the boyz. As they were all getting ready to practice, he remained quiet in the corner.

"Hyung, are you feeling ok? We have work to do...then we're doing a v-live," Kevin stated.
"Um, I have to tell you guys something. It's important," he spoke.

Everybody sat down in a circle, as Juyeon was sweating profusely, anticipating the mixed reactions.

"Um...so..."
"Hyung what is it?" Changmin spoke.
"So...um, Stella is back in Seoul."

Most of the boyz grew wide smiles, happy to see their friend again.
Jacob was happy - but also worried, he blamed himself all these years for what happened. It was pretty much his fault - but it still happened.
Hyunjae just couldn't move. The love of his life...he hadn't stopped thinking about her since she left. And he regretted not reaching out to get her back every day of his life.

Juyeon didn't know if it was his place, but he felt that he had to say something.
"And Hyunjae-hyung...you may want to talk to her. there's something - or someone that's going to change everything,"

Juyeon took Stella's number and agreed to arrange a meeting. All 12 of the boyz (let's pretend that Hwall never left), Stella and Soleil were going to meet in the park. However, Hyunjae was first, just them.

It was 11am. Stella sat on the bench, waiting for Hyunjae to arrive. She agreed that Soleil had to be introduced after they initiated conversation, otherwise it could have gone wrong, really fast.
So Baekhyun was waiting in his car with Soleil, playing with his favourite niece. (his only niece)

Her hands were sweaty and she felt that she was beginning to shake.
"It's only been a few years... it will be fine. He's moved on, it's fine..you'll be fine,"
10 minutes had passed, and Stella had reached the conclusion that Hyunjae just wasn't going to turn up- he'd moved on and she had to accept that. Just as she was going to go back to the car, she heard a voice call out.

"Stella?"
She turned and saw a man. It was undoubtedly Hyunjae. He had his features, tall, as handsome as ever and his beautiful brown eyes. His hair was dyed black and his smile was still as heartwarming as it had been imprinted in her mind for all these years.
Every inch of her body wanted to run into his arms, kiss him and ask him about everything. She wanted to blurt out how they have a child together, and tell him about the sacrifices she made for their daughter. She also wanted to bang his chest and cry out - why didn't he reach out? Why didn't he come after her? Why didn't he break up with her?

"Hyunjae," she whispered.
He stepped closer. Towering over her.
"How have you been, angel?"
Stella smiled at the nickname. But she wanted to ask all her questions and tell him everything.
"I've been well...you?" She lied.
"Me too,"

After a few seconds of intense staring, Hyunjae broke the silence.
"Juyeon said there's someone I need to meet,"
"Oh, yes.. I will go and get them," She said, walking over to her car.

Her nerves were almost in spasm. Never in her life had she ever been this nervous. But it didn't matter if he didn't want anything to do with her - because she was her daughter too and she'd raised her for four years and she could do just fine without him.

HYUNJAE POV

It felt as if his whole world just fell into place when he laid his eyes upon her. It was his daughter - no doubt.

Everything about her, her eyes, hair, soft smile, the way she giggled, the way she walked - was him.
Reaching out, he brought her in for a hug.

"I...it's..you...I..."  he stuttered.
"She's yours," Stella stated. "Her name is Soleil,"

"So...Soleil...you're my sun..my star...you're mine. your mine..mine," he stuttered, completely lost for words. 
"you're my sun,"

Stella was not expecting this reaction at all. It made her fall for him even more...even if it was wrong.
