Aera's Point Of View

We open the door slightly and we see Jaehwan pacing back and forth murmuring under his breath

"Ah-hi" I say with a nervous smile. I wonder why he was pacing back and forth. I hope he's okay. "Are you okay, you seem troubled?"

"Hi, uh I'll like to apologise to Daehyun." He turns to look at Daehyun and the expression on my face makes me immediately want to burst out in tears. Daehyun looks at him with an expression on his face I can't quite read. The expression you get when you're shocked and pleased. He continues to talk, walking cautiously towards Daehyun "I'm sorry for not being there for you when you were younger and also not considering how you felt moments ago. I promise to be a better person for you, I promise to be there for you from this moment"

I gasp at his apology. I know he said he still loves me and all but he's accepting us or maybe I'm just jumping into conclusion.

"I'm also sorry for how I reacted. It was very rude and inconsiderate of me. I'm very sorry. I hope you forgive me. Abba(Dad)"

The was a loud silence

"You called me Abba(Dad)"

"I'm sorry. It's probably to soon to be calling you Abba (Dad)"

"No,no it's okay, it's perfect. I'm glad you consider me your father"

"But you are my father and I'm glad that you're a part of my life.

So am I forgiving?"

"Absolutely adeul (son), absolutely".

They embrace each other in a tight hug and Jaehwan ruffles Daehyun's hair while laughing at a joke they just shared.

Jaehwan looks directly into my eyes and starts to walk towards me, a smirk on his face. I gulp knowing exactly what that smirk means.

"You're looking really sexy" he says in a low husky voice a few inches away from my face.

"Jaehwan Oppa"I whisper.

Calling him Oppa seemed to have fueled him even more.

That minty and after shave smell I was addicted to years ago brushes my nose.

A tingling feeling spreads all over my body the moment his hand cups my cheek.

Everything happening so slow yet so fast as I stare into those green eyes. Those really deep green eyes. His mouth hovering an inch away from mine, teasing me. Goose bumps appear all over my body the moment his soft, plump limps touch mine.

He bites my lower lip asking for permission and I open up, our tongues fighting for dominance. It feels like we're the only two people in the world.

"Sorry for interrupting your moment but I think you guys should get a room. I'm too innocent to witness anything"

We pull apart, wide grins spread across each of our faces. I finally feel complete. I have love, my son is not being pressured any longer, no mafia nonsense, just everything I need.

Peace of mind.

"So talking about getting a room; what do you say about renting us an apartment Mr. Choi Jaehwan" I say smirking and sending him a wink.

"Hmmm"

"Hmm what?

" I don't think I can- you- know rent the apartment out to you guys"

My smile falters and Daehyun and I exchange a confuse look. I thought everything was forgiving, I thought we had love for each other and there I was thinking he had accepted us and we could be one big happy family. Why so I always jump into conclusion. Stupid brain and hormones. Huh! He probably wants us to stay friends.

" I uh-uh I thought every- I thought everything was settled. Everything was okay. We were okay. For God sake we just shared a kiss. You called Daehyun your adeul (son)."

"Exactly"

"What the hell do you mean by exactly huh! Don't play with my mind Jaehwan. I'm not ready for kind games. Get straight to the point. Tell us if you don't want us. "

"I am not playing with your mind"

"Then what the hell are you doing Jaehwan" I'm out of breath after throwing a tantrum and Daehyun looks frustrated, confused and red with anger, murmuring words under his breath to calm him down.

"Aera I won't mess with you or Daehyun. You guys are my life, you mean so much to me and without you guys coming back into my life, I will be a total mess, some piece of garbage and because you guys are the most important thing to me in this world I'll like you guys to move in with me. We'll be one happy family. I understand if you guys are not ready for that but please take my request into consideration. You can move in anytime,no pressure. We just settled everything and you can take as long as you-"

I shut him up with a gentle kiss, our lips syncing.

I pull away and look directly into his eyes " we will move in with you, Jaehwan Oppa"

A smile appears on his face and a glint in his eye telling me many things he didn't have to say with his mouth. He was more than relieved that we chose to move in with him. We both glance at Daehyun, urging him to join our embrace.

This is what I call my happiness, my life.

I say a silent prayer of thanks to God for making my life, our lives; meaningful again.

"This is nice and comforting, this whole reunion but I can not ignore my rumbling tummy anylonger. I am starving!" Daehyun says rubbing his belly. We all laugh at his statement

" Agreed abeul (son) Come on, let's go out for brunch" Jaehwan says, grabbing his keys.

"What about work"

"Work can wait. What matters now is my family" he says with the most content smile ever. I still can't believe I met him and that he still loves me and to top it all he accepted Daehyun as his son. I am so lucky.

I smile at him and all three of us go out for brunch.
