"no way. i gave birth so i deserve to sleep."
a sigh slipped from his lips. he loudly shuffled out of the room, but not without crashing into the door. definitely a dent.
i chuckled softly, then sealed my eyes shut. my ears perked up at the sound of another door opening. the baby continued to wail, the sun only just woke up.
all i wanted was for the neighbors not to scold us again, but they had kids of their own. they must've remembered what it was like.
"taehyung." your father cooed, i imagined the delight that probably formed on your young face.
silence.
the only one that could stop your tears was dad.
"when you say that you love me
i just need those words
that you'll never change, just one more time",my husband lulls. i held my breath, i didn't want any noise to interfere. the birds agreed, there was no chirping.
the world was listening.
you probably don't remember, but dad use to sing to you all the time.
i mean all the time.when we read books together, he always finished with a song.
there i was, completely exhausted and discovering myself as a parent. i wasn't even sure what day it was.
that didn't matter.my pure happiness couldn't go away.
