The tenth of October became another important date for the young couple. It was the date of birth of their son, Benajmin.
After a week, Liliana was able to return home with their little son. When the little boy fell asleep in his new room, Liliana sat next to her husband in the kitchen at the table and took a sip of his tea, then sighed heavily.
"Tired? " Park asked, looking tenderly at his wife.
"A bit. " She nodded. "And you? "
"Yeah, me too... " He sighed and looked ahead with a hint of sadness.
"Are you okay? " Lily asked worriedly. "You're not feeling well?" She touched his forehead with her hand, which made Jikyo smile faintly.
"No, darling. " He replied then took her hand. "I'm fine. " He looked into her eyes.
"But something's bothering you, isn't it?" Woman guessed. "Tell me. " She smiled encouragingly at him and stroked his hand.
"Just..." He began, then sighed again. "I still remember the moment when I lost you for a moment..." Man admitted sadly. "When that apparatus started beeping and when I saw hopelessness in James' eyes... I froze. " He said. "You died there and I couldn't do anything ... This feeling... This pain and emptiness I felt then... " He shook his head and looked at Liliana. "I never want to feel like this again. Lily. " He stroked her hand and looked at their wedding rings. "If I had lost you there forever..."
"But you didn't lose. " She cut him off and intertwined their hands together. "I'm here, Jikyo. " She stroked her husband's cheek with one free hand. "I'm not going anywhere." She assured him. "You won't loose me. "
"You're everything to me, Lily. " He said sincerely. "I've endured a lot, but I couldn't bear to lose you." He looked at her with tears in his eyes. "I don't want to lose you, nae salang... I can't lose you. " He said looking at her.
"You won't... " She moved closer to him and hugged him tightly. "Jikyo, you're the reason I live. " She whispered snuggling into him. "I'm not leaving without you. Never."
"I love you so much, nae salang. So much... " He said, wiping his tears and stroking her head.

Time passed too quickly from then on. Before the young couple noticed, their son was already three years old. Benjamin grew up quickly and looked even more like his father, Jikyo. Ben was a very polite boy, he didn't cause any problems. He was obedient, kind and loving. He was the apple of his parents' eye. Jiho became his godfather and Jade became his godmother. The boy grew up surrounded by people who truly loved and cared for him. Lily and Jikyo were wonderful parents, they provided him with everything that they couldn't experience themselves at their young age. They were happy to spoil their child, and they also created a few rules that little Ben followed. They felt that in the future he would become an even better person. He'll know success, and his life will be more fortunate.
Liliana sat on the edge of their son's bed and sang her lullaby to sleep while Jikyo, sitting on the sofa, listened to the song with a smile on his lips.
"Lay down your head, look at the stars, everything is gonna be alright." Wilkinson sang. Ben loved his mom's lullaby. "Do you see the stars? Look like they shine for you. You are my star, my little light in the dark, you are my sunshine... "
After a few long minutes, their son fell asleep, so Liliana quietly left the room, closing the door at the same time. The blonde looked at Jikyo and then walked over to the table and took his glasses.
"You know you need reading glasses. " She reminded him.
"Yes. " Park replied with a smile. Man loved to listen to his wife sing. "But you're wearing them on your cute nose."
