Chapter Text
"Eunha." Uju started to speak looking up at his best friend who was lying down on the couch reading her book.
"Hum?" She answered not taking her eyes off the book.
"I have an idea."
"What is it?" She was not paying much attention because he had ideas all day long.
"Have you seen the way our parents look at each other?"
"What do you mean?"
"When they are together, it's like the rest of the world disappears, they don’t even pay attention to us. Do you remember that time when we had to call them three times before they realized we were talking to them? It's weird." He sat on the floor closing his book.
"So? They are best friends, of course, they have their bubble, that's nothing weird about that. It's just like ours right now."
"They're not like us, you're like a little sister to me. And my dad, I think he loves your mom."
"What are you talking about?" Now she is paying full attention to him.
"Look, I spent some time watching the way my dad interacts and looks at your mom. When this thought came to me I was reluctant like you but after serious consideration, I'm 100% sure that they liked each other, your mom likes him back." He said with a serious look on his face.
Eunha burst out laughing, stamping her feet and turning over on the couch until she saw the pout he was doing, then she wiped the tears that were streaming down her face and spoke. "Miane, Oppa, you are so funny when you're trying to make a point."
When he didn't answer she continued speaking. "I'm not convinced yet but I'm interested so you can show it to me, but what do you wanna do about that?"
"I want to make them be together and I want some answers too. They are friends for 30 eyes or more, so, has anything happened? And if it happened, why did they not start dating a long time ago? And..."
"Okay, Oppa, calm down, we don't know if it's true or not so we don't want them to be awkward about this." She interrupts him and when he will start to speak again she says. "I know, I know, you are 100% sure, but I'm not, and I need to be if you want my help in this plan."
"Who said that I want you in this plan?" He said, crossing his arms.
"I've known you my whole life, every time you want my help in something and you always want to, you come and say "Eunha, I have an idea". She said imitating his voice.
"I don't want your help in everything I do." He said sulking.
"Tell me one thing that you don't need my help with, and I'm not talking about ideas you can say anything at all."
After a minute she started to speak again. "HA! Just get over it, you can't live without me."
"You can't live without me"
"YA LEE UJU! Are you mocking me?" She said throwing a pillow at him.
"YOU'VE STARTED"
"What's up with this shouting?" A voice came from the door and they stopped to see IkJun entering the room.
"Hey, my princess is here, how are you, my love?" He gets closer to her and kisses her forehead.
"I'm fine samchon and you?"
"I can not believe that my dad just passed by me and went to talk with my friend first, not with me."
"Ya! What's happening with you Uju-ah, are you jealous of your little sister?" IkJun said, lying on top of him and spreading kisses all over his face.
"APPA, STOP THAT" Uju said laughing and trying to get IkJun off him. The room was full of the laughter of three. And Eunha thought about how much she felt at home here, she spent a lot of time in Lee's house since they live in the same building but it would be nice live there, she used to think about that every time she and her mom spent the night But this was a secret which she kept in her heart for a long time because she didn't want her mom to think she didn't like their life because it was not it, but now it had returned with Uju's assumption.
"Wae? You were complaining so I will give you a lot of kisses."
"I'M SORRY!"
"Okay, I will stop just because I'm getting old." ikjun stands up and extends his hand to lift Uju.
"He is sensitive today samchon, so don't pay attention to him."
"Thank you for the tip princess, where is your mom?" He asked sitting next to her.
"I don't know, I thought she was with you."
"No, I talked to her at lunch but I thought she was back home by now because she said that she didn't have any surgeries today." He said frowning.
"Maybe she is with her boyfriend."
Uju who was in the kitchen drinking water spat it all over the floor and started coughing desperately.
"Wha.. What?" IkJun said with the blood draining from his face.
When Eunha saw how pale he was, she put her hand on his chest and said "I'm just kidding, omo, why is your heart beating so fast? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, this was because I was playing with Uju."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes don't worry, I will call her and say we're gonna wait for her in her favorite restaurant so we can meet there." He said getting up and going to his room.
"Oppa, I'm starting to believe in you, I've never seen him like that before."
"Ya! You almost killed the man Eunha, don't do that."
They both laughed and started to talk about others subjects. IkJun came and said that Song Hwa had emergency surgery but it was already finished so he was going to take a bath. In less than thirty minutes they were on the way to the restaurant.
They were settled at the table and already ordered the food with IkJun choosing what Song Hwa would eat and started to talk about their school, how much Uju is famous, and everyone wants to be friends with him. "Like father, like son," IkJun said "When I was in college I was very popular, you guys can ask Song Hwa." When he finished saying this the door opened and she entered the restaurant.
"Song Hwa we are here!" IkJun said getting up from the table with a big smile on his face and waving at her.
"Kkamjagya." Uju and Eunha said at the same time.
"Hello, my babies!" Song Hwa said kissing Uju and Eunha on the forehead.
"See? She kissed you first."
"Just because I'm in front of you."
"Enough of fighting. I need my kiss because I'm a baby too." IkJun said smiling at Song Hwa.
"Aigo, I have a big baby too it's that it? Close your eyes big baby and I will give you your kiss." When he closed his eyes she gave a flick into his head and he look at her with widening eyes putting a hand where she did the hit.
"Ya, Song Hwa-ya, I've never been so cheated in all my life."
Song Hwa passed by him sitting in the empty place by his side blinking at the kids who were laughing at their funny interaction.
"So, how are you guys?"
"Fine." They answered at the same time.
"What we are eating?"
"I ordered Subeji since it’s raining, but now I regret it." IkJun said pouting and rubbing his head.
"Aigo, now I feel bad. Changing the subject, how was your day? Did you guys have an exam, right?"
"She felt bad only for a second" IkJun murmured lowly.
"I had a good day eomma, our exam was postponed for the next week, and how did your day go, everything occured ok with surgery?"
"My day was nice too, and you Uju-ah, why are you so quiet?"
"They took the day to get on my foot Imo, but now that you're here I'm better." Eunha and IkJun high-five across the table.
"So your dad deserved the flick, do you want me to give one in, Eunha?"
"Yes, please." Uju said and got a slap on the shoulder. "Ouch, that hurts" Eunha looked at him and showed the middle finger.
At that moment the waiter arrived with their food and the girls started eating food at the speed of light. IkJun looked at Uju and said "There's no use talking, they will never change. Enjoy your food son."
After that, the table was quiet and the only sound was the approving groans of the food. When they finished, the adults were involved in their world, and the teens in theirs.
Uju was listening to Eunha rambling about the school and when for a second he looked to the side and saw how their parents were involved in a conversation, he kicked her under the table. She didn't look at him at first, so he kicked her again, but then she kicked back and said. "Watch your foot."
"Shh, look." He murmured pointing at the two with the head.
Eunha looked at the exact time that her samchon put a lock of her mother's hair behind her ear, and then he took some leftover food that was in the corner of her mouth and to her surprise put it in his mouth. They were looking at them with open mouths and shocked looks on their faces, but the two adults didn't pay attention to them and just keeping going talking so Eunha murmured close to Uju's ear.
"What's the plan?"
"What? You're convinced already?"
"Come on, oppa, look at them, so what's it?"
"I don't know yet I thought it was more difficult to convince you."
"You said you had an idea!" She whispered aggressively.
"SHH, I said that I had an idea but didn't say what it was."
"So what the hell this idea was about?"
"That they like each other." He said looking to see if they were listening but it was like they don't even exist.
"Really? I can not believe this."
"Stop complaining and let's think about something."
"If I thought of something I'll text you."
"Okay."
Their parents finally finished the conversation and look at the two teens who now were looking at their phones with concentration. "Let's go home guys?" IkJun said smiling.
"You guys have finished or gonna need a room?" Uju said looking between them.
"YA! Wha.. what the hell are you talking about Lee Uju, do you wanna die? Look how you talk to the elders I didn't raise you like this." IkJun said pointing at his son with the tip of his ears red.
"I'm sorry appa, imo." And he listened to a little laughing coming off Eunha and texted her under the table "I GONNA KILL YOU"
"Let's go." He turned to Song Hwa who was with cheeks red and asked. "Song Hwa-ya, did you bring your car?"
"No, got a táxi so we can back together."
"Ok, so let's go." He got up and waited for her to pass in front to put his hand on her back and walk to the car letting their children follow behind.
In the car, Song Hwa was dozing in the front seat with her head lolling from side to side, then a worried IkJun held out his hand to support her head since the car is automatic. In the back sit, Eunha and Uju shared a look without saying anything. They got at home with no problems, then getting out of the car Song Hwa was straight to Eunha and passed an arm around her shoulder and kiss her on the forehead while she snuggled the head in her mom's neck. Seeing this interaction between their girls the father and son duo couldn't help but smile. They enter the elevator in silence and when it stops on the boy's floor IkJun kisses Eunha's cheeks while Uju gives a cheek kiss on his imo.
"Have a good night, my princess." IkJun takes Song Hwa's hand and says "And you too, your majesty Queen" she gives a little laugh and taps him on his shoulder.
"Good night samchon, oppa." Eunha said.
"See you guys tomorrow." Uju says.
"Good night, see you." Song Hwa answered.
It's past 2 AM and Eunha enters her mom's bedroom and sees her napping with a book in her hand and her glasses askew on her face.
"Eomma." She calls her.
"Hi, what time is it? Oh my, I fell asleep." She replied scared with a hoarse voice.
"I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you, but you will hurt your back if you sleep like that, it's 2 AM."
"What's wrong? Why are you awake?"
"I had a nightmare."
"Aigo my love, come here and lay down with me." When Eunha rests her head on her chest she asks. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
"It had samchon in it, and I came here hoping that you would be awake to ask you if we could go there."
"It's late, we can not just go to their house now."
"I know, so I guess I will not sleep tonight."
"It was so horrible that you can not sleep even with me?"
"Yes, he died in a car accident." She wasn't lying, she had a terrible nightmare, but it was not about IkJun so when she woke up she had an idea and gave it a try.
"Omo, ok, let's go there."
They got up from bed and went to the elevator without changing their clothes. When they got to Lee's house they did not ring the bell choosing to put the password and enter.
"I will call him, stay in the dining room." Song Hwa says but she doesn't need to do that because when she closes the door the boys are already in there with matching pajamas, disheveled and with a worried look.
"What happened? Are you guys okay?" IkJun was the first to speak half asleep and half awake.
"Yes, we are, Eunha had a nightmare about you dying so she needed to see you and sleep in peace." Song Hwa says quickly.
"Omo, my princess, come here, I'm okay." IkJun comes close to Eunha and hugs her and suddenly she starts to cry, she didn’t know why but he hugs her tight then wipes the tears from her face, walking with her to the sofa. Song Hwa hugs Uju saying sorry for waking him up, and follows them to the living room.
The silence fills the room only with an eventual sniff of Eunha. After some minutes she falls asleep in her samchon's chest and IkJun waited to have sure that she wouldn’t wake up. Then he lifts her and takes her to Uju's room, who had already gone to make his bed for her and put a mattress to sleep on the floor. IkJun puts her into bed and says good night to Uju, closing the door and walking away from the room. When he arrives back in the living room, Song Hwa is already asleep, so he kneels in front of her and thinks smiling "She must be so tired, how can a person be drooling like that and still be this pretty?". Not wanting to be caught by Uju, he gets up and picks her up bridal style, and takes her to his room, putting her into his bed. He starts to wonder if she would be mad if he sleept in the same bed with her, but his thoughts are dismissed by her voice saying:
" Just lay down IkJun-ah and turn off that fucking light."
"Eunha definitely inherited her mother's temperament when she is sleep-deprived." He laughed at this though and went to lay down by her side, turning off the lamp at his side. When he finishes snuggling under the covers, hears the woman next to him moving beside him and feels a weight in his chest, automatically he puts his arm over her and pulls her closer.
"When she told me about her dream I was trying to act normal but inside I was freaking out IkJun-ah, I needed to see you, I'm sorry to disturb you."
"You never disturb me, Song Hwa, go to sleep now, I will be here in the morning." He started to run his hand gently over her back in repeating patterns.
And she fell asleep like that, warm and safe in his arms.
In the morning Uju wakes up and stares at the ceiling. Not realizing that he is not in his usual place, he gets up and goes to do his morning routine which consists of waking up his father first. Upon entering his father's room he is faced with a scene he never thought he would see in his life, his imo hugging his father like a koala clings to a tree. He opens his mouth and says a silent "OH MY GOD" and leaves the room, closing the door silently. With last night coming back to his mind he runs to get his cell phone and goes back to his father's room, opening the door slowly and seeing if they still haven't woken up. After being sure, he opens his cell phone camera, takes a picture, and runs out of there as if his life was in danger.
Returning to his room, he hopes that his friend has already woken up, but as soon as he opens the door his mood plummets as he realizes that she is still sleeping. With nothing to do, he lays down on the floor and starts using his cell phone. After 10 minutes he feels restless and takes a look at his friend again. Seeing that a break of the sun is coming through the window, he gets up and goes to close it, even wanting her to wake up. He knows how her mood is if she doesn't wake up by herdelf, so he lies down again and keeps tossing and turning on the floor. After 30 minutes he sees her moving in bed and goes to sit next to her.
"Finally," He says, putting his phone on her face "Look at that."
"What you doing, your seakki?" Eunha says moaning to him.
"Just look." He shakes his phone
"Just wait a fucking minute I'm only half awake in here."
"I waited for 30 minutes"
"That's not my problem" She rubbed his eyes, letting out a big yawn, took his glasses, and looked at his cell phone. "WHAT THE HELL I'M LOOKING AT?"
"Your mom hugging my father like a little bunny."
"OH MY GOD." She took the phone off his hands and zoomed in. "What are you gonna do with this picture?"
"This is the proof that they're together."
"Do you really want that much that our parents are together?"
"Of course I want, you don't? They are perfect for each other."
"Of course, I want that too, but you think showing that to them is the best way to make them talk?"
"Yes, we gonna do my way now because you told me to say to them to get a room and you saw what happened, so it 0x0 your score of ideas, and if it doesn't work you will need to start pretending that you had a nightmare every night."
Eunha starts to laugh and says "I don't need to start, I was already pretending." So she lays down with her hands behind her head.
"I'm sorry, what? You didn't have a nightmare? So why were you crying like that?"
"I had a nightmare but it wasn't about your dad, I have no idea who was the person there, but when samchon hugged me I couldn't help to think of losing him, and I realized how much I love him, so I cried." She said with her eyes full of tears.
"Ohh who is the samchon's girl?"
"Anyway, it's 1x0 for me because they're sleeping together because of me."
"Ok, I will end with this because they can not explain this."
MEANWHILE IN THE OTHER ROOM
Ikjun woke up to the sound of the door closing, stunned, he felt a weight on his left arm and a strawberry smell invaded his senses. Immediately after a name came into his mind "Song Hwa", and with a smile on his face, without wasting time he put his nose on the top of her head and breathed in, so his whole soul was filled with her scent.
It was always a pleasure for him to wake up with her in his arms, he missed it for so long. When the kids were still small and they saw themselves as single parents they spent several nights in the same house, so they could lean on each other. Their friends tried to help as much as they could, but with the medical profession they couldn't do much. Taking care of a small child was not easy but together they managed to do it, so when their kids finally fell asleep, both parents used to pass out from exhaustion in their each other's arms. And now, as always, he was the one who woke up early and kept admiring the small woman in his arms.
But she never confessed and neither did he because he knew she was fragile at that time. Despite thinking about it with every smile she gave him, he continued to keep his feelings hidden because her presence in his life was enough, even with the constant fear of her being taken by someone else.
The woman who was in his arms slowly woke up and snuggled closer in his embrace and spoke with a muffled voice in his chest "Good morning, IkJun-ah" at that moment he allowed himself to do one of the things he always wanted, so he stepped forward and planted a kiss on her neck that sends a shiver down her spine. Pulling back and placing his hands on her cheek he replied with a soft smile "Good morning, Song Hwa-ah." After a while, she turned to the other side of the bed and stretched.
"We need to get up, the kids are still sleeping?" Song Hwa asked.
"I woke up with a noise so I guess no. Let's go." He said to get up and go to Uju's room and knocked on the door. "WAKE UP GUYS, LET'S EAT."
Song Hwa followed him to the kitchen and they started to prepare breakfast together. Two minutes later Uju and Eunha sat at the counter, said good morning, and watched the two move around the kitchen.
"I wanna ask a question and I want the true answer for it." Uju started.
"Ok Sir, say it, your dad knows everything."
"What is it." Uju says, showing his phone.
IkJun looks at the picture and says without hesitation. "Me and your Imo sleeping. Help me out and put the table on."
"But.."
"No buts Lee Uju. Do what I told you."
He got up to do what the father had asked and Eunha followed him to say "I told you if they wanted us to know something they would have already spoken."
When he finished preparing the food they put it on the table and when IkJun sat in front of his son the boy started talking. "What I'm trying to say is that it's pretty weird for two friends to sleep like this together."
"What's so weird about that? You sleep with Eunha all the time." IkJun said, looking into Uju's eyes.
"But I sleep on the floor!"
"Your dad is getting older, I can not sleep on the floor anymore."
"But your bad is huge and imo was almost..."
"Ok, the matter is closed, eat."
"But..."
"Uju-ah, obey your father and eat, you will be late for class, you too Eunha, stop giggling and eat your food." Song Hwa intervenes.
"Fine." Uju says.
"Wahh, It is incredible, that to you he obeys." IkJun says looking at Song Hwa.
"You can't complain, it was from you that he inherited wanting to be cupid and not stopping until he gets what he wants." She said back. "You two are still going to the movies?"
"Yes, if oppa still want." Eunha answered.
"And after?"
"We will have dinner." Uju says.
"We will?" Eunha asks.
"Yes, I made a reservation for us."
"Nice."
"Let me know when you arrive at the cinema and when you go out to dinner, ok?"
"Okay." They both answered.
They finished breakfast in silence and then they went to get ready for school. Song Hwa continued eating while listening to what IkJun was saying about the surgery he would have in the afternoon. When they finished getting ready, Eunha came to them to say goodbye, giving them both a kiss on the cheek and saying that she loved them and would be back soon. Uju passed by and said he was going and he loved them.
"Uju-ah" IkJun screamed. "Where is my kiss, you don't love your dad anymore?"
"I still love you but today you don't deserve a kiss," Uju screamed back and closed the door.
IkJun puts his hands on his chest and looks at the woman in front of him with an open mouth and a wounded look. After ten seconds Uju gets back and kisses him on the cheek, goes to his imo, does the same with her, and goes back running.
IkJun smiled and said "I think he remembered the nightmare."
"Yes." Song Hwa giggled, got up, took the dishes to the sink, and started washing.
IkJun comes up behind her and puts his arms around her. "Do you think we should tell them now? They won't stop." He said putting his face on her neck and starting to spread kisses.
"Hmm." She put her neck to the side to give him more room to kiss and stop washing.
"Hmm means yes or no?"
"I don't know, I'm distracted now." he placed his hands on her hips and turned her to face him. "Song Hwa-ya." He gave her a long peck and when he opened his eyes he saw her standing there with her eyes closed and a soft smile on her face. "Are you okay?" he laughed, she was wetting him with her hands on her chest, but he didn't care.
"You can't do this if you want me to have a proper answer to your questions." She answered still with eyes closed.
"Oh, so Chae SongHwa gyosunim is so weak for me that she can’nt even think properly because of a little kiss?" He said with a naughty look on his face.
She slapped him on the chest pushing him away and turning back to the dishes. "Let me finish this so we can talk from there."
"Okay, you're the boss. So, we have been in a relationship for 3 weeks now, and we are waiting to have sure that they are comfortable with this, but they clearly are now, so are we gonna tell them?"
"Yeah, we should do this."
"Okay, so we are gonna tell them tonight."
"And if Uju does something to put us together before that?"
"We participate and after we tell them."
"Okay I finish--" She could not finish the phrase because IkJun pulled her and slammed their mouths together in a fiery kiss. When he put his hands on her butt and pulls her closer to him, she gives a deep moan and finishes the kiss. "We gonna be late to work, I need to take a shower."
"I will take with you, we need to save the world." He spread kisses on her neck.
"Why are you so obsessed with my neck today?"
"I missed you so much, thank god we will say to them tonight because I need to kiss you in peace like this, not hidden in the car."
"Me too my love. Let's go." She said taking his hands and going to the master room.
They were late for work that morning.
"Look." IkJun said entering Song Hwa's office and showing her his phone.
She looked up from the papers on her table, smiling at him "Ikjun-ah, I'm hungry."
"We'll eat, look at this first, Uju send me a message." He said wiggling his eyebrows.
"What he said? They arrived at the movies?"
"Not yet, but he said that they are going to change their tickets because they will meet some friends, and then they will not have dinner in that restaurant, so he said we could go."
"Jinjja? Which restaurant is it?"
"The fancy one that you love."
"Wahh, how did he get a reservation there?"
"He is my son, you know, he always gets what he wants, what do you want for lunch?"
"Anything."
"Okay, let's see what has in the restaurant of the hospital."
After they finished lunch both received an emergency call, so they didn’t meet for the rest of the day. When the workday was over IkJun went back to Song Hwa's office, opened the door, and saw her changing her shirt.
"Ya gyosunim, do you want the whole Yulje to fall for you?"
"Haha you pabo, I forgot to close the door, I'm too excited to have dinner with you."
"You can tell me the true reason, my love, you are excited to have dinner in that restaurant, it's not because of me."
"I'm glad that you know that." She passed by him and gave him a little tap on his chest. But before she could go away, he took her hand and put another hand on her waist, saying "Let me see if I can't excite you."
He pushed her to the back of the door and rubbed his nose against hers, placing his mouth an inch from hers, when she tried to close the distance between them, he pulled away, kissed her cheek, and left smiling.
"I gonna kill you, Lee IkJun." She murmured going after him.
When they arrived at the restaurant IkJun said they had a reservation in the name of Lee Uju, then they were taken to the table.
"Oh my gosh, when they say that students surpass masters they are talking about this. Your son surpassed you as cupid, IkJun, you can retire now so he will take over from here." Song Hwa said with an open mouth looking at the table with flowers and candles.
"I'm sure that it has the finger of Eunha here too, we created two monsters."
Dinner ended without a hitch, they chatted, laughed, and enjoyed each other's presence as they always did. When IkJun finished eating, took her hand with one hand and with the other he placed it on his chin, watching her eat in silence.
"Can you eat with me holding your hand?"
"After having a child I can do anything with one hand, and I'm sure you can relate to that." She answered, squeezing his hand and running her finger gently along the side of his hand.
"Yeah, I can, so I’m just gonna hold your hand forever, ok?" He said, kissing her hand.
"As you always did."
"As I always did."
When they returned home they found Uju and Eunha lying on the couch playing video games.
"Hello loves of my life." IkJun said, passing in front of the television.
"MOVE!" Both screamed at him.
"Are you seeing this, Song Hwa? We create them with so much love and when they grow up they do that to us." He said, going to sit on another couch.
Song Hwa smiles at him and sits down at his side, crossing her legs and then he puts a hand on her thigh. She looks at him with a startled look as if to say "They'll see", but he shakes his head answering with a look that says, "They won't, just look at them." The two teenagers continued to stare at the game. When the game was over, IkJun turned to them and says:
"Guys, we need to talk with you."
"Okay, sorry for yelling at you."
"It's okay, so, you guys know that I and Song Hwa have been friends for 35 years now, we passed through a lot together, we raised you, and--"
"Omo omo omo, tell me that you guys are finally together." Uju shouted.
"Let him finish." Eunha says, tapping his arm."
"Okay, sorry."
"And, you guys lately have been open to the idea of us starting dating, so the truth is that we started this three weeks ago, but we needed to have sure that you guys were okay with that. So we are sorry for not telling you earlier, mainly because you never said anything against it."
"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy that I can't be mad at you." Uju said tearing up "I can't believe that I will finally be able to call Song Hwa imo my eomma." he said, going to hug her and starting to cry.
"I don't know what to say because I had always dreamed that we could be a family, but I kept this inside of me, I didn’t know how you guys would react to this. And when Uju said that the look of samchon to my mother was more than a look of a friend, I saw that look that I was seeing for so long in your faces, but nothing seemed to ever happen, so I could not let myself believe this could be really happening. I said that I didn’t believe it because I didn’t want to create false hopes, but it didn't last long, you guys are so wiped, seriously, how could you guys take that long to be together? So my hopes got back stronger when I saw that scene in the restaurant. What I'm trying to say, if I'm not saying anything with all these tears on my face is, I'm the happiest person in this world for having you guys as my family, and I love you all so much, thank you for being my parents and supporting me in every step that I give in this life. Thank you for providing me and Uju a steady house even with all the things you guys passed through. Uju and I couldn't be luckier." At the end of Eunha's speech, everyone was crying harder, they all went to her and had a group hug.
"I'm so sorry that you had to keep this for so long, my love." IkJun said, kissing her forehead.
"Gwenchana appa, I'm happy now."
"You call me appa, my heart is gonna explode, I wished this too." IkJun hugged her.
"And this is because I said that I didn't know what to say." Eunha says and everyone bursts out laughing.
"I have the best family in the entire world, I couldn't be happier." Song Hwa said.
After all the tears, hugs, kisses, and laughing, they went to their rooms to prepare for sleep. IkJun and Song Hwa got back to the couch and cuddled to watch a movie that she wanted to see for a while. After 30 minutes of movie, Eunha entered the living room and layed down in front of her mother.
"What's wrong baby?" Her mom asked.
"Nothing, I just want to be here with you guys."
"Okay, where is your brother?" Song Hwa asked, passing a hand on her belly and hugging her.
"I think he is sleeping."
Not a minute had passed when Uju entered the living room to look for his sister. "Ya! Why didn't you guys call me for cuddling too? You guys don't love me, is that it?"
"We thought you were sleeping, come here." Song Hwa called, opening her arms.
Uju lays down in front of his sister and she passes her arm around him. IkJun, who was seeing this scene develop in front of him, watched all in silence, and when everyone was lying down he tried his best to pass an arm around everyone, but just put a finger touching Uju. He put a pillow in Song Hwa's head so she would be able to see the rest of the movie. When the credits started to roll, their children were already sleeping for a long time, so IkJun murmured into his girlfriend's ear.
"This is good."
"It is, but we need to send them to bed."
"Let's sleep in here, this couch is big enough for us."
"This idea never worked, you will wake up with your body hurting."
"I don't care, I just wanna stay like this."
"Okay."
"Are you comfortable?"
"Yes, the pillow helped, thank you."
"Anything for your well being, my love." He said turning off the lamp and television, which were the only sources of light in the room. "Good night, I love you to the moon and back."
"Good night, I love you more."
IkJun kissed her cheek, placed his face on her neck, and slept like this.
They were home.
