SANA'S POV

"Hey, Yuta." I greeted. He smiled a little and looked down on me with a hand on his pocket. Seeing him right now makes my heart at ease and glad. It's nice to see him in a better state than before. Yuta, after being back from prison, dedicated his life with taking care of orphans. He works in an orphanage where Taehyung, coincidentally, worked before. He changed throughout these years and seeing him happy and well right now proves that he really is happy with what's going on with his life. He loves what he's doing.

"You do know that you're getting wet, right?" He raised a brow, but I just chuckled. "Have you told him everything you wanted him to hear?" He asked, so I nodded and stood up. He even offered his hand for a help, but I didn't take it because I can stand up on my own anyway. Awkwardly, he put his hand away and asked me if we should get going already.

I hummed a yes, "Take me to my house for a while. I'll just have to change clothes before going back to work." I told him. We reached his car in no time, so he opened the car's door for me. I thanked him and hopped off as he did the same to him. As soon as he put his seatbelt on, he started driving.

"You'll get chilly," he said. "Wait." He pressed the hazard button and took something from the backseat. He's holding two towels and he threw it to my face--LITERALLY. "Oops, my bad!" He sarcastically said, so I slapped him on his arm. He just laughed his ass off and went back to driving.

I started wiping my body with these towels that he gave me. The only thing that is making noise between the two of us is the music from the radio.

It's been five long years since he died. A lot of things had happened, but as for now, things are going fine. My heart would always hurt whenever I think of him. The pain that I experienced in the past is unexplainable.

It had also been five years since Taehyung debuted.

It had been five years since my friends had their own families.

It had been five years since I gave birth to Taekwon. Since Taekwon is already five years old, Taehyung told me that the producers of Return of the Superman asks him to guest on their show, but he's still uncertain about it. As much as he wants to let other people know how he communicates with Taekwon, he feels like there's going to be something unusual to happen. He doesn't know what's that. He told me that it was just a gut feel.

In my part, it's okay, actually. I'm just afraid that Taekwon won't do well although he knows that his dad is a well-known idol.

I didn't even realize that we're in front of my house already. The rain was still pouring hard, so he asked me to use an umbrella and just return it to him if I have any time.

I hopped off from Yuta's car and watched him drive away while I enter my house. I went to the master's bedroom right away to take a shower and change into my business clothes. After showering, I have to go to the warehouse to check the stocks and such. I have to review things although the company is doing alright and after checking the warehouse for updates, I'd have to pick up Taekwon from his school. Taehyung barely picks him up because of his career and publicity, so I knew I had to do the work instead of him. As much as possible, we don't want our bodyguards and drivers to pick Taekwon up from school. We thought that his heart may be away from us.

So, as I scheduled, after blowing my hair dry, I took my bag and rushed downstairs to hop in my car. The rain that was pouring heavily earlier suddenly stopped slowly. There's some shower rain, but it's okay. The drops were tiny anyway. Then, started driving after hopping in. First stop, to the warehouse.

I waited at the parents' waiting shed with the other mothers. I don't know why do they keep on looking at me. I even used a mask and a cap to keep my face hidden, so that they wouldn't recognize me anymore. They keep on eyeing me and it pretty bothers me a lot. I feel like I have something wrong on my face.

The school bell rang, so I immediately stood up and looked for Taekwon. The kids starting running towards their moms, so I was pretty intrigued when I saw Taekwon walking slowly. He looks like he's very sulky and sad. He doesn't seem excited to see me, so I walked towards him and squatted to level him.

He's pouting and his head is downcast. I smiled and put my mask down for a while. "Hey, baby," I kissed him by the cheek and stared at his sulky face. "What happened? Why is my baby sad?" I asked.

He didn't answer. Oh, his Taehyung-like attitude is here again. I lifted up his chin and smiled broader, "C'mon, baby. Tell me what happened."

He sighed and rolled his eyes. Wow, very Taehyung-like, huh? "A lot of girls inside my room keeps asking me to bring dad." I raised a brow and giggled. So, he's sulking because of that? How cute.

"What's wrong with that?" I asked.

"Isn't my handsome face enough?! Why do I have to bring dad?! They will just stare at him!" I laughed because of his reasons. He's really serious about being jealous with Tae. Tae is such a girl magnet these days since he's gotten much handsome-er. Even kindergarten girls are attracted to him!

I cupped Taek's cheeks and made him look at me, "Don't worry about it. I'll tell it to your dad, so he won't go here anymore." He still looked unconvinced. "Let's go grab some ice cream." His face lit up instantly. He even clapped very loudly and jumped because of giddiness. I stood up and held his hand. We walked towards the car and so I started driving to the nearest ice cream parlor to buy him ice cream.

Taek actually is a handsome kid. He's got this beautiful brown hair in which he got from me. He owned my hazelnut eyes, but his nose is like Tae's. It doesn't matter whose nose he got anyway. Mine and Tae's is both pretty, tho. No lie to that. He has Tae's lips and mouth structure, so when he smiles, he smiles like Tae's. His eyes get lost too when he smiles very widely. He has a fair and soft skin, too. Taek is just a mixture of mine and Tae's features. I can sense a very handsome teen when he grows up. He might be even more handsome than Tae!

Taek's attitude is more like Tae's. He's silent, yet very playful. He doesn't like to play with a lot of kids, but I already told him that he has to socialize. A kid must have a lot of friends as they were young, right?

He likes to sulk whenever he finds things unfair, just like what happened earlier. He just wants fairness since his girl classmates only see Tae as handsome. He also wants to be called handome, tho.

We arrived at the ice cream parlor and he's the first one to hop off the car. I immediately hopped off as well because I might not be able to find him if I ever lose him out of my sight. That might just be the scariest thing to happen, oh gosh.

When I entered the parlor, he's already standing by the counter. He's peeking at the ice cream flavors through the glass. He likes chocolate a lot, so I guess he'd pick that ice cream flavor. "What do you want, sweetie?" I asked him.

"This!" I was pretty surprised to see him point at the vanilla ice cream.

"What? I thought you like chocolate?" I asked.

"I want to try other flavors, too." He said with a lowered voice. I smiled and told the counter to bring us one vanilla and one strawberry cheese ice creams. I paid for it right away and we were told to sit for a while and wait for our desserts.

Taek wanted to sit on one of the high stools, so I carried him and placed him on the stool. He's pretty heavy, actually.

Our ice creams were served right away, so we enjoyed our desserts. "Taek-ah," I called my son. "Do you want to see your Minrin noona?" He suddenly stopped from eating and blushed. He has this little crush on Minrin who is somehow 4 or 5 years older than him. He always go silent whenever we mention her to him and it's so cute to see his reactions. He blushes really hard and is having a hard time concentrating. "We're going to have a gathering later. It's Aunt Tzuyu's birthday today." He kept silent and I guess it means yes.

We went home after having our ice creams. Inside the car, Taek remained silent and unbothered. I've been telling him about his guesting on the TV show where he'll be with Tae for a lot of time, but he's not saying anything. I guess he's nervous since he's going to see Minrin later. Oh, well.

"Eomma! Eomma!" I turned to Taek who ran towards me, holding two different colors of dress shirts. It's Tae's dress shirts, actually. "Which color do you like better?" I giggled and took something out from the cabinet. It's a pink colored dress shirt for kids and it would look cute on him. "Just put this on."

"Pink?!" He asked in surprise. "That's too girly!" He pouted.

"Minrin's fave color is pink and she would like it if you would wear this." He threw Tae's dress shirts away and took the pink dress shirt I told him about. He ran away with it and went to his room to get changed.
