coming home from work to my beautiful wife chaeyoung has always been my favourite thing. she always greets me with a big smile, wide arms and hundreds of gentle kisses all over my face. it never fails to make me happy, even when i've had a terrible day at work. i didn't think it could get any better than that.

and then we adopted our baby boy.

now when i come home from work, i'm greeted by my beautiful wife and our adorable 3 month old son. we adopted him from a close friend who couldn't take care of him about a month ago and we're already both so in love with him. he's so sweet, cuddly and giggly and he obviously loves both of us. i think chaeyoung is his favourite though as she's the one who has been able to take time off work to care for him. don't get me wrong he loves me as well, but as chaeyoung is with him all day, he's definitely a lot closer to her. i don't mind, i love seeing her play with him and being all cute.

today is just like any other day. i unlock the front door and immediately hear my wife's light footsteps running towards it. as i shut it behind me, i lift my head and find chaeyoung holding jinwon, giving me a wide grin.

"welcome home, babe!" she cheers. i drop my bags on the ground and shuffle over to wrap my arms around her waist and bury my head in her shoulder.

"hi, my loves," i say. "i missed you."

"we missed you, too."

i lift my head and lean in to press a series of kisses on her lips. she slides a hand around to cup the back of my head and deepens the kiss, opening her lips against mine to slide her tongue in. i hum in content, eager to keep the kiss going for as long as possible, but ultimately pull away when jinwon squirms in chaeyoung's arms. i take him from her and my heart swells when he gives me his adorable, gummy grin.

"hi, my gorgeous boy," i coo. i lift him up so his face is level with mine and press kisses all over it, giggling when he does. the sound makes me feel so warm all over and i just never want it to stop. he's so beautiful.

"he's been anxiously waiting for you to come home," chaeyoung says, smiling warmly at the two of us.

"i've been anxiously waiting to come home," i say. "what have you two done today?"

"not much. cuddled, played, went shopping, ate yummy food, hey jinnie?"

jinwon gurgles and claps his hands together excitedly while chaeyoung runs into the bedroom to show me what she'd bought. i carry jinwon into the living room and sit down on the couch, cradling the baby in my arms and rocking him gently. we're just staring at each other for a while, me stroking his soft, thin hair, until his eyes flutter shut and he falls asleep in my arms. i bring him up to my face and press a gentle kiss on his rosy cheeks.

"hey, babe-"

i quickly turn my head and shush chaeyoung, pointing to the sleeping baby in my arms. chaeyoung grins at me and quietly walks over to sit beside me, a shopping bag in her hands. she puts it down on the ground and wraps his arm around my waist as we settle back against the couch.

"this is what i always imagined when we decided to adopt," chaeyoung says, sighing happily. "just the two of us with our amazing baby, watching him sleep."

"yeah, me too," i agree. "i wish i didn't have to work."

"so do i but we know you have to. my job is expendable but you love what you do and you can't risk that. we just have to cherish the time that we do get together."

i nod - she's right - but it still upsets me. as much as i hate to admit it, i'm jealous of chaeyoung. i wish i could take time off work and spend all day with jinwon. i don't hold it against her of course, that's what we decided, but it still hurts a little.

"yeah, i know."

chaeyoung notices my mood drop and immediately cups my cheek and turns my head to kiss me.

"i know it's not ideal and i'm sorry that you can't be here with us, but-"

"i know, don't worry. it's okay." i kiss her again then lay my head on her shoulder. "i just love being here with you two after work, it's the best part of my day. i love you both."

"and we love you, too. so much. jinwon always misses you when you're gone, he keeps looking at the door and whining. it's so cute."

i grin and lift his tiny hand to my lips to kiss it. his fingers unconsciously wrap around my pointer finger and the sight just makes my heart melt.

"look at him, look at our gorgeous little boy," i whisper.

"he's perfect, but we're the perfect couple so we deserve him," chaeyoung agrees. i laugh, shaking my head at her in disbelief.

"disgusting," i joked, scrunching my nose up at her. she rolls her eyes and sticks her tongue out at me so i do it back.

"alright, i'm going to put the baby in his crib then we can enjoy some alone time," she says, wiggling her eyebrows.

"alone time?" i ask.

"oh, yes. we haven't had 'alone time' in so long so we have to take the opportunity when jin is asleep. be right back."

she walks away after a quick kiss so i head into our bedroom and position myself sexily on the bed for her. when she walks in, a smirk immediately forms on her face, making my stomach clench in excitement. she turns to close the door so i saunter over to her and wrap my arms around her waist.

"come here, gorgeous," i whisper.

"oh, you bet i will."

we fall into bed but just as chaeyoung pulls me into a kiss, jinwon begins to cry from the other room.

"of fucking course," i groan. "i guess we'll have to re-schedule."

"fine," chaeyoung sighs. i walk to jinwon's room and frown when i see the tears on his chubby cheeks.

"oh jinnie, it's okay, mommy's here."

i pick him up and take him back into mine and chaeyoung's room where she's just turned the tv on. i sit next to her against the headboard and lay jinwon on the bed where he immediately calms down. we both start stroking his hair and playing with his feet and hands and it feels so wonderful that suddenly i don't care that he interrupted us anymore. i'd take this cute domesticity over anything any day.

i love my family.

i don't really like how this ended but i'll still post it anyway :) hope you enjoyed!
