Tae
Ugh I really hate that I'm working. All I want to do is go home and cuddle on the sofa with my husband and my daughter.
She's not my biological daughter but I love her with all my heart. She's so amazing.
I was always so scared of babies he when I met Dewon I was in love. She was the sweetest little baby I've ever seen.
I accidentally ran into this guy and I spilled my iced coffee all down his back.
He turned around and this guy looked like death. Dark circles around his eyes and his face was sunk in. He obviously needed to sleep.
Before I could even apologize I heard a baby crying. He was wearing one of those baby carriers. I instantly felt so bad. I thought about how cold the baby must've felt if any of my cold coffee fell on them.
I apologized profusely. Somehow I convinced this half dead guy to come to my house. There was no way I could let him walk the streets with a baby.
He passed out on my sofa and I had no choice but to care for the baby. After 6 hours he finally woke up.
After he was well rested I felt my heart flutter. He was the most perfect specimen. He was beautiful and perfect.
I guess he felt the same because that night he invited me out to dinner to say thank you. I guess you could say the rest was history.
When Dewon was 2 years old, Hobi asked me to marry him. Without a second thought I said yes. I didn't want to wait because I just knew he was the one for me. Everything about him was just perfect.
The only main issue we had was his ex constantly trying to come between us. She would say things on social media about how I ruined her marriage even though she got divorced from Hobi before Dewon was even born.
I tried to hate the woman but I couldn't. She gave me the best gift I could ask for. Dewon is my little princess and whenever she calls me papa I just feel so happy. So blessed.
I wish I could legally make her mine. After 5 years of marriage Lisa still refused to let me adopt Dewon even though that woman hasn't been in MY daughters life other than giving birth.
What if she grows older and asks why I never adopted her? What if she wonders why Papa never made it official. My friends and family thought I was crazy when I told them I eloped with a man 8 years my senior but after I explained how I feel about him they all said they were happy for me.

Two hours into working overtime there was a knock at my door. I half expected that it was my husband and daughter surprising me with dinner but it wasn't. To be honest I'm just as happy with who walked in.
It's been years since I've seen him but like always he made me smile. Of course he still treated me like a little kid because he kept pinching and kissing my cheeks.
I felt flushed and embarrassed because no matter how old I get or how long we go without seeing each other he's always acting like this. Still treating me like a baby
"Tae-min what are you doing here" I asked
"What am I not allowed to visit?" He asked
"Well of course you can but I wasn't expecting you to show up. I didn't even know you were on the country" I laughed
"Hey I thought you knew me well enough to know I can pop up anytime anywhere" he smiled
"I should have known. So why are you here?" I asked again
"Well I have a gift for you and I know this is one that you won't turn down" he laughed
"Tae-min, I told you enough with the gifts. You don't needs to get me things. I have everything I could ever want because my husband spoils me" I laughed
"Well you husband might like this gift too"
"What did you get us?" I questioned
"Well I spoke to you dad and he told me how Lisa is still giving you guys a hard time with the adoption papers. So I was able to hire someone to find her. Of course she was off in Fiji with some man and after some mild threatening she agreed to terminate her rights"
"You threatened her? What if she retaliates?" I growled
"Relax. It wasn't anything crazy. I just told my PI to tell her that we were going to come after her for child support since she abandoned her daughter. After calculations it was determined that she owed her daughter 35% of her yearly salary and then times that by 7 years. It came out to ₩340,271,557.08 and that didn't include things like medical, clothing allowance and school supplies"
"Wow that's a lot of money" I gasp
"Yes and she said she didn't want to pay. We even got her admitted that she never wanted the baby and wanted to use her custody as levage to get you two to hand over part of the company. Basically that woman was using her own kid to turn a profit just in case her current husband left her. He doesn't even know she has a kid"
"That woman is pure evil. How could someone do that to a child?"
"Some people are greedy. But yes my gift is the legal paperwork showing that Lisa terminated her rights and is allowing you to formally adopt your daughter"
"No fucking way! Are you joke please don't say that this is a joke. I will kill you where you stand if you're lying Tae-min"
"It's all true. All we need is Hobi's signature allowing you to adopt her and we can file a motion with the courts"
"This is the best thing ever." I felt overjoyed and I pulled Tae-min into my arms. I kissed his cheek as a thank you and I smiled. This is the best day of my life.
"Now on another note, how's dad and your mom?" He asked
"Dad is great. Him and mom are finally going on that second honey moon. You know he's pissed that you didn't come to his vow renewal" I laughed
"I was overseas plus even if I could go you know I'm busy with my mom. She's was getting sicker and as much as I couldn't stand the woman I couldn't just leave her in some home"
"I hate that you're going through this. I know your mom isn't the nicest person but to have to go through that. The loss of a parent is too much."
"Yeah It is, but at least I have your mom. She always made me feel like I was her biological child"
"You look more like my mom than I do. I got stuck with Dad's genetics and my moms short stature" I huffed
"And that's why I treat you like a baby. You're tiny and adorable. If that husband of yours ever breaks your heart I'll kick his ass"
"Stop, hobi is perfection. And you haven't met him yet. I don't want your first introduction to my husband be you beating him up. It's not nice" I complained
"Well I'm your older brother. I'm not supposed to be nice to people who hurt you"
"Well thankfully he would never hurt me so we don't have to worry about that. Oh where are you staying?"
"I haven't booked a hotel yet"
"Nonsense you can come home with me and meet my husband and your niece."

With that we both walked out my office and went to my apartment. It was really quiet and I freaked for a minute.
Stupidly I forgot my phone charger so my phone died at work. Once it was able to charge enough I saw that I had a miss call from my husband. I tried to call him back but he wasn't answering his phone so I called Jin.
He seemed very cryptic on the phone and he seemed angry. Joon probably started another kitchen fire while he tried to boil water. I laughed at the though but Jin assured me that my daughter was having a sleepover and that Hobi had said something about working with his secretary.
I gave Tae-min some of Hobi's clothes since the idiot didn't even pack a bag. He passed out on the sofa and I made zero attempt to move him because I was too tired myself.
I cuddled with Hobi's pillow because it smelled like him.
I can't wait to show him the adoption papers tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be amazing.
