(5 years later, 5pm)
3rd person's pov
The couple was happily married for 5 years and they have a daughter named Saebyeol.
She's in kindergarten now and is currently waiting for her mother to pick her up from school.

Suyeon's pov
I walked through the school gates to see Saebyeol jumping up and down while waving to me from afar.
I walked closer to her and she ran up to me, hugging my legs with her small arms.
"Eomma!!"
She squealed.
"Yes, Saebyeol. Let's go home together"
I took her hand and smiled.
She nodded.
We turned around to walk away when someone called out Saebyeol's name.
"Saebyeol! Wait up!"
Someone shouted.
I turned around to see a young boy running up to Saebyeol with a rose in his hand.
"This is for you"
The small boy said.
He looked like he was blushing.
"O! Thank youu"
Saebyeol received the rose and smelled it.
"Is this your classmate?"
I bent down and asked Saebyeol.
"Yes. He's very, very kind to me"
She smiled brightly.
Kids are so innocent.
"Thank you for being nice to my daughter. Where's your parents though?"
I asked.
"My mom is over there"
He pointed to a lady behind him.
She started walking over to us and I stood up.
"Hi, sorry for my son disturbing you"
The woman bowed with her head.
"It's okay. They're kids. Just let them be"
I reassured her.
She hummed.
"Eomma, can I walk home with Jungyeon?"
Saebyeol tugged on my finger.
I looked at the woman for an answer.
"Sorry, we have something to attend to"
She kindly declined.
"It's fine. Go ahead"
"Saebyeol, not today. Maybe another time okay?"
I turned to see Saebyeol pouting.
"Okayy...then..bye Jungyeon"
She waved to the small boy.
I bowed to both of them before walking away with Saebyeol.
Timeskip
(At home)
Saebyeol went to take a shower while I was watching TV in the living room.
My phone vibrated and the notification was from Jay.
He told me that he'll be back with dinner soon as he's coming home soom from work.
I'm currently taking time off my job to take care of Saebyeol.
I don't want her to experience what I did; lack of attention and love.
Saebyeol came out of the toilet in her pajamas and came into the living room, sitting beside me to watch the TV.
"Did you learn anything new today?"
I put my phone down.
"I learned that the alphabets a,e,i,o,u are a vowel"
She flipped her hair proudly.
"My girl is so smart"
I patted her head.
"But eomma, what are is that?"
She pointed next to the TV.
It was the polaroid of Jay and I when he proposed to me placed in a transparent frame.
"Oh that? It's called a polaroid. There's an old camera to take those kinds of photos"
I replied, reminiscing about that magical moment.
"Woaa. Eomma and appa looks so pretty and handsome"
She smiled.
"But how did you two marry each other. Or like meet?"
She laid her head against my arm.
"You're willing to hear it?"
I raised my brows and she nodded.
"We met at our work place. Your dad started to get to know me and was very kind to me"
"He brought me to places together and I ended up falling in love with him, but of course he fell in loveway before I did"
"We spent a lot of time together and he then asked me to marry him"
-Me
"Oohh. Heheheheh"
She giggled.
"What's so funny"
I chuckled at her cuteness.
"Could that be me and Jungyeon in the future??"
She looked at me with sparkles in her eyes.
I laughed. Why is she so adorable?
"I mean, he's super nice to me. Does that mean he loves me?"
She looked so invested.
"You're too young for this kind of thing, Saebyeol. But who knows? Maybe when you grow up, you two can be together"
I poked her cheek.
"Okay! I will wait until I grow up"
She said so surely.
Someone then opened the front door. It was Jay holding some plastic bags.

"Appa!!"
Saebyeol ran up to me and held onto my blazer.
"Hello, darling. How are you?"
I asked, handing over the plastic bags to Suyeon.
"Amazing, because you're home earlier than usual"
She said as I picked her up into my arms.
"Yeaa. I bought your favourite fried chicken today"
I kissed her on the cheek.
"Really? Thank youu. But your cooking will never beat that fried chicken"
She hugged my neck.
I smiled.
"But appa, is it true that you fell in love with eomma first?"
She asked, pulling away to look at me.
I was sort of shocked.
I turned to Suyeon who was grinning at me.
"What did you tell her about us?"
I tilted my head.
"I don't know~"
She acted oblivious.
"Yes, I fell in love with her first. Why?"
I looked at Saebyeol.
"There's a boy who is very nice to me at school. Do you think he loves me if he gave me a rose?"
She asked innocently.
I heard Suyeon snickering while unpacking our dinner and I did too.
"It's too early to say love. Maybe he just likes you"
I booped her nose.
"Aww, okayy"
-Saebyeol
"Honey, who's the boy she's talking about?"
I asked Suyeon as I placed Saebyeol down on the chair.
"His name is Jungyeon, I think. I saw him earlier with his mom. He gave her a rose"
She told me.
"Wow. Starting off young, huh?"
I scoffed walking beside Suyeon.
"Mhm. Do you think she'll be like us back then?"
She locked her hands behind my neck.
"Maybe? She's so much like you"
I put my hands on her waist.
She nodded in agreement.
"How's work?"
Suyeon asked.
"Good. My dad said that I could leave earlier today as he had a private meeting"
I replied.
"Appa! Do you have an old camera?"
Saebyeol asked, munching on her fried chicken.
I looked behind Suyeon.
"Old camera?"
I furrowed my brows.
"I think she means the polaroid camera. It's in our room in the drawer of the bedside table"
Suyeon said.
"Ohh"
"Yes, I do. What do you need it for?"
I leaned against the counter.
"I want to take a photo of me and Jungyeon tomorrow at school! Like you and eomma"
She said excitedly.
I looked at Suyeon and we both laughed. We went over to Saebyeol and sat beside her.
"Our Saebyeol is growing up so fast, hmm?"
Suyeon patted her head.
"Does Jungyeon know you like him?"
I rested my cheek agaisnt my fist.
"I don't know. What if he's just trying to prank me?"
She tilted her head down.
"Aigoo. He definitely likes you. Don't worry so much"
I rubbed her back as I glanced up at Suyeon holding back her laugh.
"Okay. Then we can take a photo together, right??"
She looked up at me.
"Yes, Saebyeol. Finish up your dinner first and I'll pass you the camera later"
I said and she nodded eagerly.
Suyeon motioned for me to stand up so I did and followed her. We walked to the living room, looking out the body-lengthed window.
There sun was setting, shining its final golden rays onto Seoul.
"What are we gonna do with that little girl?"
Suyeon let out a small chuckle.
"Well, whatever it is, at least we can watch her grow"
I interlocked out hands.
"Mhm. And I'm going out with the girls this weekend by the way, so can you look after her, love?"
She asked
"Sure"
I smiled.
"Camera please!!"
Saebyeol came towards us excitedly.
I lifted Saebyeol up.
"Give appa a kiss on the cheek first"
I turned my head to the side.
She pecked it.
"Where's eomma's kiss??"
Suyeon asked, pretending to look sad.
I brought Saebyeol closer to Suyeon and she gave her a peck on the cheek too.
"Okay, we'll give you the camera"
I smiled softly.
"Yayy!"
She exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air.
Everyone laughed.
Saebyeol was my new collected star.
Every star is unique in its own way.
They'll twinkle differently.
But no one should let their shine falter, for each one holds their own special place in my heart.
