Ep. 6: Superman, Pt. 1

(grocery store, Jaeyeon POV)

Eunhyuk with me grocery shopping for this weekend. We have guests coming over. Earlier today, the staff gave us a letter saying this weekend, we're going to spend the weekend with a child from one of our favorite reality shows called Return of Superman. All we know is we'll spend the weekend with a girl child.

[Eunhyuk: I think having a child at home with us this weekend will be amazing. I believe that if we did have children for real, they'll be just as precious to me as she is.]
[Jaeyeon: Eunhyuk and I love kids. I'm the eldest of my siblings, and when my younger brother and sister, Jaemin and Minyoon, were born, I'd often help Eomma take care of them. Eomma and Appa would often tell me and Minjae stories about her pregnancy with us and our birth. My favorite would have to be the story about where our names came from.]
[Eunhyuk: When I went to her maternal grandparents' house to play with her and Minjae as a child, we saw some baby dolls that were a gift for Jaeyeon's mother. Jaeyeon told me that her parents played house as children and named the baby dolls Jaeyeon and Minjae after themselves.]
[Jaeyeon: Because the dolls we're an important part of my parents' childhood, they named me and Minjae after them.]

{NaRae: That's a sweet story.}
{MiSun: JB mentioned that same story in an interview a few years ago. He said that memory was important to him and his wife.}
{SeChan: I wonder which child Jaeyeon and Eunhyuk will spend time with this weekend.}

"Okay," I said while looking at the shopping list, "now that we're done looking for the snacks, we need to find ingredients for tteokbokki, ramen, bulgogi, and ice cream fish buns." "You're really making much for us and one child aren't you?" Eunhyuk says.

I explain, "It's not that much. I'm making enough to last us for today, and then I have the snacks and drinks ready for the park, and our in-home movie night with her."He smiles and continues helping me with the shopping. We paid for the groceries and left the store.

Although I told him I can help him carry the bags, Eunhyuk insisted on carrying most of the bags, while I carried the smaller ones. "Eunhyuk, you're sweet and all, but you don't have to do all of this for me," I said.

He looks at me and says, "Of course I do, Jaeyeon. I have to be a gentleman and make sure my pretty wifey doesn't hurt herself. What kind of husband would I be if that were to happen?"

[Jaeyeon: Don't mind him. Eunhyuk is always like this. He always insists on being a gentleman for me, even when he doesn't have to. Whenever we call a taxi, he gets mad at me for tipping the driver. I only do it because he won't let me pay at the places we usually go to. Like earlier when we fought in the grocery line for who was paying for the groceries.]
[Eunhyuk: I'm just doing what I feel is right. Don't judge me. I'm not saying Jaeyeon shouldn't be independent, but I want to make sure she doesn't hurt herself or have to worry about handling everything herself. I'll feel burdened if I feel as if I'm not there for her helping her out.]

The staff gave the girl's dad our address, so we just decided to meet them when we arrived back to the apartment. One of the staff held the door for us to get in and we went up the elevator to our room's floor. After arriving, we saw actor In Gyojin at our door with his daughter, Haeun.

"Annyeonghaseyo," Eunhyuk and I said and bowed to them. Haeun euns to us, hugging Jaeyeon, saying, "Jaeyeon Unnie! Eunhyuk Oppa!" "It's nice to meet you, Haeun," I told her, "and we know you're excited for this weekend too." "She is," Gyojin says, "You two are her favorite couple on We Got Married. My wife and I need you to babysit her this weekend."

"Why so?" Eunhyuk asks, opening the door to the apartment. We went in as Gyojin explains, "I have to go to France this weekend to film a scene in my upcoming movie, and our baby is sick, so Yihyun is taking care of her. We didn't want Haeun to catch her sister's cold, so we wanted to know if you guys could watch her."

"It's no big deal, after all, Eunhyuk and I don't have personal schedules this weekend," I said, setting the bags on the table. I then picked up Haeun. Gyojin says, "Good. Here's her bag. There's a list of things in there that needs to be looked at so you can take care of her, and remember to take her to her toddler's taekwondo class tomorrow. The older kids are helping her age group with their skills."

"We can take care of it," Eunhyuk says. I told Gyojin, "I know which dojo to take her to. My younger brother Jaemin does taekwondo, and he has a job there as an assistant instructor to pay for his college classes, books, and dorm. He told me him and the instructor are having high school students help the kids out."

"Thank you," he says, giving Eunhyuk the bag, "My flight leaves in a hour, so I'll be going," then Gyojin kisses Haeun, "Be good to Unnie and Oppa while I'm gone, and listen to what they say okay." "Ne Appa," Haeun says. Gyojin leaves and I start making food for us so we can have lunch at the park. Good thing it's still early in the day.

(park, Eunhyuk POV)

In the park, Jaeyeon, Haeun, and I were looking for a quiet spot to sit at. I had Haeun sitting on my shoulders while Jaeyeon carries the picnic basket and blankets. Some people started looking at us while we were walking. "Oppa, here's a nice place for us to sit at," Jaeyeon says, jogging to a shady spot underneath a tree.

"Great yeobo," I told my wife and kissed her, "Here we go Haeun. We're going to jump down in 1. 2. 3!" I picked Haeun up off my shoulders so I can place her on the ground. She happily giggles at me and give me a hug.

[Eunhyuk: I know Jaeyeon and I aren't Haeun's parents, but having her with us while we picnic in the park makes me feel as if she is my daughter. She was so happy and comfortable with us, that it just feels real to me. Jaeyeon is a natural when it comes to kids too. Hopefully someday if Jaeyeon and I plan on it, we'd start a family of our own.]

{JaeSung: Isn't it a little too soon to think of that?}
{MiSun: They've been together for more than five years, and they're in love with each other.}
{SeChan: And they are a real life couple.}
{NaRae: I think it's great that he wants to be a father. Girls these days often love seeing a caring and sweet guy who's great with kids.}
{SeChan: Let's just hope Jaeyeon would be okay with this.}

[Jaeyeon: Eunhyuk and I often talk about our future together. Before we got asked to do this show, we were talking about when it would be a good time to get married, even though we're not engaged yet. And we even talk about how many kids we want. It seems so weird to talk about this, but we love each other very much and we think about each other too.]

Haeun opens her mouth, waiting to be fed. I picked up the bulgogi with the chopsticks, and placed it in her mouth. She smiles while eating it, saying, "Delicious!" "Yeobo, feed me," I say to Jaeyeon and open my mouth.

She giggled and said, "Really Yeobo? You're feeding Haeun. Why do you want me to feed you?" I then explain to her, "Because I love you, and you love me. Come on Jagiya. Jebal~! I'm your baby too!" I kept my mouth open as Jaeyeon still looks at me like I'm weird.

[Jaeyeon: This is my life. Eunhyuk loves it when I give him special attention. Sometimes he'll act like he's a baby to get a reaction out of me. I don't know what it is, but I love it when he act so cute like that towards me.]

Jaeyeon finally feeds me some tteokbokki and says, "There. Is my big baby satisfied?" "Almost," I teased her, "Could you possibly give me a kiss? Just one?" "Ne," she says, pecking my lips. Haeun smiled and lets out a happy giggle as she says, "Unnie and Oppa love each other."

She walks to sit in Jaeyeon's lap, and pecks her cheek. "What about Oppa?" I asked Haeun. I put my cheek near Haeun as she pecks it, and I say, "I got a kiss!" "Correction, you got two kisses," Jaeyeon says, grabbing a bottle of chocolate milk and a straw for Haeun.

"Hey. What's wrong with getting kisses from two cute girls?" I said to her. Haeun starts drinking the chocolate milk while Jaeyeon says, "You're silly, Oppa. You know that right?"

[Jaeyeon: I know he can be childish sometimes. He loves it when I baby him up and give him attention. Sometimes I wonder how he's three months older than me, and yet I sometimes act like his mother. Despite this, I still love Eunhyuk.]
[Eunhyuk: I don't want to lose Jaeyeon's attention this weekend. I can admit, I do act childish when I'm around her. But I love how she treats me when I do. It's cute when she acts all motherly towards me sometimes like I'm a baby.]

{MiSun: That's very relatable.}
{JaeSung: Basically you're calling us guys childish?}
{NaRae: Only at certain times. Especially when there's a child around.}
{MiSun: Aside from that, most guys can be serious.}

After eating, we played on the playground for a bit with Haeun. Some fans kept asking us about her, and saying how cute of a couple we are. They even told me and Jaeyeon how great we were on the show. And they said that Haeun looks like she can be our daughter.

"Is she your daughter?" a little 7-year-old girl asks. Jaeyeon kindly explains, "No sweetie. We're simply babysitting her this weekend while her parents are busy." "I really thought she was," a 6-year-old girl says, "So soon you guys are going to have kids?" "Ani," I said, "but we're still thinking. Right now, we just want to make our marriage work before we have kids."

"Okay," the girls say, and grab their mother's hands, "Bye Unnie and Oppa." They left and Jaeyeon picks up Haeun, saying, "People must be really eager for us to have kids, huh?" "Definitely. You don't know how many boys walked up to me two days ago, asking if we were going to have any kids," I explained.

"Oh, really? They must be something else, then," she says. "Everyone must love us so much, that they really do want us to have children," I said, "My parents and older brother and sister even asked me if we were trying to have kids."

Haeun tugs my sleeve and says, "Oppa. Movie!" "You ready to watch a movie at home?" I asked. Smiling, Haeun nods her head yes. Jaeyeon says, "Alright. Let's go home then." We gathered our belongings and went back to the apartment."

When we do arrive, Jaeyeon suggested that, since we're not going back out, we should wear our pajamas. She sports a short, simple white long sleeved nightgown:

"I'm going to start making the popcorn and ice cream fish buns. Could you give Haeun a bath while I'm at it?" she asks. I tell her, "Sure Jagi. I'll make sure she's clean and ready for tonight. Let's go to the bathroom Haeun." "Ne Oppa," Haeun says, following me to the get her pajamas and enter the bathroom.

(kitchen, Jaeyeon POV)

Since I'm adding ice cream to the fish buns, and Haeun ate when we got to the park, I figured it wouldn't hurt to eat them first while I pop the popcorn. I got the buns out of the oven and wait for them to cool before I place the chocolate ice cream into each one. I hear tiny footsteps coming towards the kitchen, and felt Haeun hug my legs.

"Unnie," she says affectionately. I smile at her and say, "There you are you munchkin. You came in here right on time. I hope you love chocolate ice cream fish buns." Haeun jumps up and down in excitement as I gave her a bun. She takes a bite and says, "Masitda!"

"Are the two sweetest girls in the world eating a sweet treat without me?" Eunhyuk asks. He enters the kitchen wearing his pajamas:

"You came in here just on time Oppa," I said, giving him a bun. Before he could eat it, Haeun says, "Link arms! Link arms!" I looked at her, and then to Eunhyuk. He tells me, "We can't disappoint her," and links arms with me. I smiled as we started eating our fish buns while our arms are linked.

{JaeSung: The fans need to pull our their cameras for this!}
{SeChan: A child asks them to do this?!}
{NaRae: Of course. She's one of their biggest fans. I would ask them too if I was her.}
{MiSun: Gyojin stated on his SNS that Haeun likes watching We Got Married with her mother. Jaeyeon and Eunhyuk are her favorite couple.}
{SeChan: With the way things are right now, I don't see what can go wrong for them this weekend.}

We finished our fish buns as soon as the popcorn stops popping and cools down. I grab a clean bowl from the cabinet and fill it with popcorn. Then, we set up some blankets, and pillows on the floor of the living room infront of the TV. Eunhyuk puts in Wreck It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks The Internet.

Gyojin bought it for Haeun last week because it included the Disney princesses. Haeun wanted to watch the movie because of that, and I resemble Snow White. She also knows I dressed up as Snow White for my group's debut single "Magic". I even had to imitate Jasmine a bit to make Haeun happy. She giggles every now and then when I do it.

Night fell while we were on the second movie, Hotel Transylvania 3. Towards the end of it, Haeun started feeling sleepy as she cuddles into my arms. "Unnie," she sluggishly says, "I'm sleepy." We look at her and smiled. I said, "Alright Haeun. We should go to bed then. You have taekwondo tomorrow morning."

"Ne," she says. Eunhyuk and I get up, and he tells me, "You can go to sleep with her while I clean up in here?" "Are you sure Oppa?" I asked him while yawning. He kisses my cheek, saying, "Of course Yeobo. You worked so hard today. And I can tell you're just as sleepy. I need to take care of my wifey like she does for me after all."

[Eunhyuk: She takes care of most of the cleaning and cooking. When I ask her if she needs help, she'll either have me do half or less than half of what needs to be done. I can tell she works herself to finish the tasks. It'll hurt me if she overworks herself one of the days. I have to take care of her. She deserves it.]
[Jaeyeon: I've never seen him so caring and affectionate like this before. That's probably because we stayed in a dorm for 8 years, and we're thinking about moving into our own house in two or three years when we can. When I do a lot of the chores, I can tell he worries about me, and I hate that. I feel like me working hard in our personal and private lives is going to emotionally get a hold on him. I don't want to do that to him.]

{MiSun: *sniffles* It's like watching a drama. I think I'm gonna cry.}
{NaRae: He cares so much about her and her health.}
{JaeSung: With all the work performers these days have to do, I can see why.}
{SeChan: The world needs more guys like Eunhyuk.}

I'm in bed with Haeun, who's already fast asleep. She looks so peaceful while she's curled up towards me. Softly breathing. Smiling, I hugs her, and whispered, "Thank you for spending the weekend with us Haeun."

Eunhyuk gets into bed next to me, hugging Haeun from behind, saying, "I'm happy to be with you both like this." "We appreciate that Eunhyuk," I said. He smiles at me as I start drifting to sleep after we said our goodnights to each other.
