just when they thought they are safe when they are far from that one place which holds all of the phobias they once had.
"i don't feel safe."
"I'm here. i'll protect you." he stares right into her eyes, when t...
Minho flip the pancake nicely for Minji's breakfast, special request with chocolate chip by his cutest little daughter. He smiled at the sight of Minji cutely eating the foods he made. Taerin leaves early this morning. He's curious where she's heading to but he doesn't even bother to ask her. Even though how bad he wanted to talk to his wife he just can't he's scared he might hurt her again. She's still in the process of healing her mind from the fight that happened few days ago.
"Daddy, why did you make mommy cry?" Minho look up from his plate, he stares right at Minji's face.
He raised his eyebrows. "I was scared to ask mommy. Mommy seems sad. I heard both of you screaming, being mad at each other I was scared."
Minho's heart break once again. Minji is too young to witness the young couple fighting.
"Now that you don't talk to each other I'm scared daddy. Am I gonna lose you? And mommy?" Minji asked with that puppy eyes of hers. "That's not true sweetheart mommy and daddy we are here. We will always be here with Minji. You don't have to worry okay baby?" Minho pulled her closer in a hug. "Then talk to mommy. I don't wanna see mommy sad anymore." She hugs Minho tightly.
"Okay sweetheart. Anything for you. Now go and eat your breakfast okay little girl?" Minji nodded flashing that whiskers dimple of her.

Minho turns to his side watching Minji sleeping safe and sound. They decided to take a nap after breakfast what else is there to do? Off day is kind of boring he thought. "I need to get the trash out." Minho sighs as he get up from the bed making sure Minji is still sleeping. He make his way downstairs, picking up the garbage bag.
Putting on the slipper, he walk outside the gate. Taking time checking himself out through the car's window as he walk passed by it. Not forgetting to praise his own look. He honestly look like a cool young dad he thought. White tee with sweatpants. Brown messy hair. "I'm so hot." He chuckled as he put the garbage bag outside. As Minho was about to get back in he stretches a bit and that's when he felt someone's presence. He quickly turns around.
"Uhm y-yes? May I help you?" Minho asked, stuttering.
It's weird since they live quite far from the others. To think that there's actually someone here, in front of their house.
"I'm looking for my daughter." He said.
Who is he?
"Y-your daughter? I'm sorry sir but I think this is not the right place. Anyway may I know her name?"
Silence. Minho blinked twice as he wait for the stranger to answer his curiosity. He would not back away this time even the stranger dressed quite scary. He was wearing a very tainted hoodie. The hood covered his face. Minho could barely sees him but he wouldn't dare to ask for more of his face.
"You have her. You have-"
"What?" Minho cut his words as it gets creepier.
"Daddy why did you leave me alone while I was sleeping?" Minho turns around at his daughter who's standing at the door rubbing her eyes, pouting. "Minji I'll go inside in a minute." Minho shouted back.
"Sir? Can you continue your words I- didn't quite get it." Minho said in hurry as his blood rushed up to his face feeling terrified. But that some sort of feeling is telling him to, ask. He need to know. Doesn't even know why maybe he's insane at that time for keep the conversation going.
The stranger walks away, he walks very slowly turning his back from Minho.
Minho however wanted to ask him but his mouth was locked once again.
"Could he be... the answer to my curiosity all these while?" Minho mumbled as he watches the figure slowly went smaller.

Minho walks in the room with a cup of hot chocolate. Taerin look at him, she quickly focuses on her laptop.
"Hey I made you a drink." Minho stuttered. He wanted to talk to Taerin so bad. "Thanks." She answered short. "Baby I'm sorry for shouting at you."
"Again?"
"What do you mean, again Taerin?"
"I mean you hurt me and apologize over and over again. I find it funny." Taerin chuckled.
"I'm sorry baby I was- I was not in the right state of mind."
"So what do you want from me now?" Taerin asked, shutting down her laptop. She turns around looking at Minho who's sitting at the edge of the bed. He shakes his head. "Just want to talk to you. Plus Minji hates it when we are fighting." Minho said, slowly looking up. Taerin immediately soothes up looking at his cat-eye like. His slight pout. How is he a father of a daughter? He's too cute.
"Oh you only apologize to me after Minji asked you to?"
"I mean she encouraged me a bit." He chuckled, realizing that Taerin is slowly becoming talkative with him after days.
"I realized how immature I was to blurt out on you like that babe. I truly was. I shouldn't have said that to you." He continued. "I understand that you are prioritizing Minji's safety. I see it. And again I'm truly sorry for cursing and telling you off." Minho said.
"No like I'm sorry too for complaining like almost everything to you. Ignoring the fact that you have a lot of things to think about. Sorry Min." Minho chuckled at the sight of Taerin calling him Min. HE couldn't hide his stupid grin he thought. "No it's fine. That's what a husband need to do. Keeping his wife safe and free from disturbing thoughts but I failed." Minho let out a small laugh.
"Taerin-"
"Yes?"
"I actually, maybe you're right. " Taerin look up. Terrified at his sudden change of mood. He looks worried.
"I think we should be careful. I don't think I can leave you and Minji alone for the time being."
Taerin stares at the serious Minho. He looks very serious at the moment.
"Why-?"
