~Park Baekhyun~

"Ah!" I heard Chanyeol yelp and I flutter one of my eyes open. Pero pinikit ko din ito agad nang salubungin ako ng sinag ng araw mula sa sliding door sa may balcony.

Sino bang nagbukas ng kurtina?

Sobrang pagod na pagod pa ako dahil sa love session namin kagabi ng asawa ko at wala pa akong balak gumising. Teka. Eh anong oras na ba at ano bang nangyayari?

"Daddy! Wake up! It's Monday!"

Jesper. Bat ang aga nagising ng bunso namin?

"Ugh..." ungol ni Chanyeol sa tabi ko. "Whatifitsmondeybaby?" tanong pa niya habang antok na antok ang boses.

Tumalon-talon naman agad si Jesper sa kama. "It's the first day of classes and you promised to take me to school today!" sigaw niya. "Come on!!! Come on!!!"

Naramdaman ko ang pagyakap sakin ni Chanyeol. "Baby..." tawag niya.

"Hmm?"

"What time is it?"

Pilit kong binuksan ang mata ko para tignan ang orasan sa may bedside table namin. "5 am." I muttered. "It's 5 am, babe."

"It's 5 am and the classes would start at 7am, Dad." Jesper whined and knelt beside me. Naramdaman kong niyakap niya ako sabay alog. "Papa... Please." he begged.

Agad ko naman siyang nilingon at niyakap. "Sure." I muttered and sat up. And that's when I realized, I'm still naked under this thick blanket.

I pulled it back up abruptly.

Then I heard Chanyeol chuckle. "Hmm... I just want to get back to last night." he muttered while looking up at me from underneath the covers.

I shot him a deadly look. "This is all your fault you giant."

Kung sana hindi siya nanlandi kagabi, edi sana hindi ako pagod at puyat ngayon?

Pero bat ba kasi ako nagpalandi diba? Walang hiya talaga.

"Pa! Come on, come on!" Jesper excitedly said and pulled my arm. Pero pinigilan ko siya.

"Susunod nalang ako, baby." I said and kissed his hair. "You go ahead."

He nodded and ran to the door immediately.

I felt Chanyeol's arm encircle my waist. "Come on... just another rou--"

"I'm leaving, Park." I stopped him and threw a pillow to his face. "Save the seduction for next night." I muttered, stepping out of the bed.

And when I looked back at him, it's like he's tempting me all over again even without doing anything.

Ugh. Sometimes... I hate having this gorgeous husband.

Napatingin ako sa labas at sa sinag ng araw. It's another day.

And everyday the realization slowly sinks in. We're already parents of three children. And it was never easy.

Starting today, another journey would begin.

Or let's say... Another book, perhaps?
