without noticing her dad's suddenly gloomy face, yoonah scurried over time go and play around in the sand of the playground. jaehyun looked at the male in front of him. he looked helpless, and that broke jaehyun's heart. " hey.. come here , follow me. " he said, taking the other father's hand before dragging him over to a nearby bench, not far from where he could see his own daughter in his sight.

taeyong was hesitant but nodded as he sat himself down on the bench, trying to calm down his tears that had been flowing down from his cheeks. he felt a cold touch against his skin, and it was jaehyun trying to wipe his tears. taeyong gently pushed his hand away, finally making eye contact with the other.

oh

my

god

taeyong didn't know what to say. he was embarrassed first by jaehyun's words but now , looking at the handsome male in front, he just wanted to turn into a rock then and there. " i-i'm sorry, " he stuttered out. he didn't really know what to say. " are you good? you shouldn't be apologizing. i didn't mean to make you cry. " jaehyun said softly, looking at taeyong. " .. why, did you cry? if you don't mind me asking. if you need to talk, i mean i'm here, i have ears i'll listen. " jaehyun added as he shrugged slightly, and taeyong wipes his eyes, taking a deep breath before sighing.

" i cried cause' i had to. i've had pressure building up in my chest for awhile. so i guess i just needed.. a little boost to help the tears get out. " he said quietly.
" it's just kinda hard, trying to do this all by myself. " taeyong added. it looked like he was gonna cry,, again.

" c'mere. " jaehyun said before gently hugging taeyong. tae could feel him rubbing his back gently, it was a soothing feeling to him. " you're a single parent? " " y-yeah, " " me too. " taeyong looked at jaehyun, the feeling of remembering that he's not the only one trying to raise a child all by themselves was a comforting feeling.

" it's hard, right? " tae nodded. " especially when they're running around and there's no use to stopping them. " taeyong said quietly, before giggling fondly. the giggle made jaehyun smile from ear to ear, he was glad the other was feeling (he hoped) a bit better.

" i'm jaehyun. "
" o-oh, taeyong. "

the two talked for about 30 minutes to an hour, even their daughters started playing around all over the place, which made jaehyun and tae laugh softly. " i think i should take eunji home. it's getting pretty late and she could probably pass out asleep in the sand, wouldn't want that—" jaehyun spoke up, before getting up. he got a slight nod from the other. " yeah i understand, i might as well take yoonah home as well. it was nice talking to you jaehyun. " taeyong said, smiling softly. he started to walk away, before jaehyun gently grabbed his hand.

turning around, taeyong raised an eyebrow at jaehyun before jaehyun finally spoke. " before you go, give me your number. i wanna keep in touch and it looks like our kids are now friends so, just in case eunji ever wants to hang out with your kid, ya know? " he said, a bit shyly. " yeah!! just give me your phone. " taeyong said excitedly as jaehyun handed him his phone, before putting his contact in. " text me when you get home or whenever you want. it's not like i have much of a busy life instead of being a parent anyways,, " " sounds good, eunji!! baby, say bye now, we're heading home. " jaehyun said, getting whines from the two girls.

" but paaaaapaaaaaa!!!!! "
" no buts, you guys will see each other soon. it's getting late, you guys don't wanna get freezing cold out here do you? " jaehyun chuckled as the girls shook their heads, before clinging onto each other and saying their goodbye's.

taeyong picked yoonah up and walked himself home, jaehyun doing the same with his daughter.
