AUTHOR POV:

Soobinnie! Please~

Yeonjun whined as he felt Soobin kiss his forehead. 

Well, they were eating their breakfast. while talking. And when Yeonjun brought up the idea to wake Ara up, Soobin declined & said he wanted to have some alone time with Yeonjun. But Yeonjun apparently wanted to play with Ara.

Yahhh!

Yeonjun tried to scold Soobin. All of a sudden Yeonjun gasped when he felt Soobin just snatch him from his chair & set him on his lap. His hands roamed around his body then they rested on his waist. Yeonjun almost hyperventilated from how Soobin was kissing his neck. Then Soobin looked at him with pleading eyes.

Please baby, can't we be alone for a bit?

B-But Ara-

She's sleeping.

Yeonjun shut his mouth at that. For a few seconds Yeonjun was eerie silent. It was, weird. Soobin frowned at him.

What's the matter hmm? I know something is wrong.

I-I'm too shy...

Soobin cooed at him.

Baby you're never shy of kissing me, is everything okay? Am I making you uncomfortable?

I-I'm just s-scared. It's my first time I've felt so loved. It's so terrifying. I-I keep having flashbacks of those t-times. I-I don't want to think this b-but... n-nevermind.

Baby, you know you can tell me anything. I won't ever judge you, right?

Yeonjun nodded.

P-Please don't get mad b-but... b-but... but.. I-I u-uhm...

Yeonjun felt his breathing get shorter & shorter. All of a sudden his lungs fell shut. Yeonjun's eyes felt tears filling his eye sockets.

Yeonjun. Breathe with me. One. Inhale.

Two. Exhale. Just like that okay? My baby is a fast learner. 

One.

Yeonjun tries to inhale as easily as he can as Soobin pats his back. 

Two. 

Yeonjun shakily exhales, his teary eyes finally letting tears fall. 

Three. Inhale baby.

Yeonjun tries to inhale steadily this time, his breathing stabilizes a bit.

Four. Exhale.

Yeonjun exhales steadily this time. Soobin smiles at him.

You did it baby. I'm so proud of you. I knew you could do it. I love you baby.

Soobin kisses his forehead.

Can you tell me what happened now?

Yeonjun shakily nodded.

I-It's just that, I used to have a boyfriend after you left. He would kiss me, hug me, cuddle with me. He would always hit me. Then he would have s-sex with me while saying he had loved me & that what he was doing was good for me. He had manipulated me into thinking I was loved by him when I wasn't. H-He would make his friends t-touch me & sell me to them.  B-But one day he said I was ugly & never good enough. Then he left me. I-I know that you'd never leave me like that Binnie, but the th-thoughts won't stop! Y-You give me so much love & affection that I just feel like it's not true..

Soobin frowned at that.

It's fine baby, I will never leave you. 

Soobin slowly brought his head closer to Yeonjun's. He stared deep into Yeonjun's dark brown orbs, as he slowly traced Yeonjun's lips with his own. Yeonjun leaned in, Soobin happily did too.

I love you so much Binnie. I love you so much that it hurts. I wanna be with you forever.

I love you more than you can even think. I'll protect you till the end of the world. I love you so much that I sometimes think I'm crazy.

Yeonjun blushed then kissed Soobin on the forehead. 

Cutie.

Suddenly, they heard a loud cry.

Appa! Appa!

Soobin immediately let go of Yeonjun & went to Ara to pick her up in his arms. Ara rubbed her eyes & looked at Soobin.

Appa, good morning~ Yeondun Noona? Good morning to you~

Ara babbled in her sleepy state. 

Soobin kissed her forehead. Yeonjun almost cooed at how cute Ara was.

Are you sleepy baby? Do you want to sleep more? It's only 9 am.

Without answering, Ara fell asleep with her mouth open a bit. Soobin laughed at that & put her back in her crib. 

Let's go shower together.

Yeonjun shyly nodded. Red tint climbing its way up to Yeonjun's cute cheeks. Soobin smiled at that & pulled him closer by his waist.

Yeonjun felt secured in Soobin's hold. 

Yeondun noona loves appa more than me!

Ara vented to Beomgyu as her nostrils flared angrily. Beomgyu just stared at her, pretending to be angry. You see, when Beomgyu & Taehyun had just entered the villa to give Yeonjun his spare clothes, just then Soobin insisted Yeonjun to come with him & hang out in his Villa's garden. The moment they left, Taehyun & Beomgyu saw Ara staring at her appa & noona leave the villa as if she envied them.

*Gasps* Really?! I'm gonna teach Yeondun noona a lesson! 

Ara, baby do you know how much your appa loves you? He's just trying to be friends with Yeonjun noona okay?

Taehyun chimes in. 

But appa hangs out with Yeondun noona all the time! I wanna hang out with noona tooooo!

Ara whined. Beomgyu & Taehyun looked at each other mischievously then whispered to Ara their plan.

 Ara grinned. She then leaped to the garden of her villa. 

Appa! Yeondun noona!

Yeonjun & Soobin immediately pulled apart from their "session" when they heard Soobin's daughter call them.

What were you two doing?

Ara glared at them as she crossed her hands to look like as if she was their mother. Soobin & Yeonjun looked at her nervously.

My Yeondun noona! Appa shoo!

Yeonjun laughed as he picked her up. Soobin just pouted playfully at Ara.

Can't I hang out with Yeondun noona too?!

No! My Yeondun noona!

Soobin chuckled at her & ruffled her hair. Then he went inside.

Yeonjun stared at Soobin until he left. That's when Soobin decided to mouth "We'll continue later" and Yeonjun blushed at the thought.

Noona?

Hmm?

Will you be my eomma?

Yeonjun choke on air right after that.

A-Ara where is this coming from hmm?

Do you not want to be my eomma?

Ara muttered sadly. Tears prickling in her big doe eyes. 

I-I do! I-It's just, your appa is currently busy & he needs to do some stuff with your eomma. And after that, we'll get married. Then I'll be your eomma okay?

Ara scoffed at the mention of her real mother. 

I don't like my eomma. She is bad & ugly & meanie!

Ara, baby you shouldn't say things like that about someone. Okay?

Hmph!

Yeonjun chuckled nervously. Then he saw Ara count her fingers so attentively. Yeonjun thought she's a fast learner.

Meanwhile Ara thought she'd be able to brag about how she's the only kid who got to see her parents' marriage as her friends always whined that they couldn't see their parents' one. Ara giggled at the thought which led to Yeonjun's concern.
