From my unpublished book "Have You Ever?"
Have you ever avoided something that you didn't know will cause you so much happiness?

I never liked taking care of children, who makes mess, turns your whole house upside down, and tires the hell out of you. Well, I only like taking care of babies who only cries when they are hungry or if they wanted their diapers to get changed. Children who learned how to walk are way too handful to look after, for they make you chase them wherever they go, just to make sure they are safe.
I have read a lot of articles that being a parent is not easy at all. And I know it, even though I still am not a parent yet. It includes a great amount of energy, patience, and time. That was according to that one article I have read. I don't understand why need to exert such effort just to take care of those hardheaded children. When all they brought is just mess, mess, and mess. All mess.
Back then, when my sister was born, I felt like I was left alone. All of the attention I wanted from my parents was all at her. And that made me hate her. Maybe it is the sole reason why I don't understand parents' need to exert effort on taking care of their children. Because I showed no interest in learning about it back when my sister was just a baby.
Now that I am married, I just knew that knowledge about taking care of children is important. Especially that my husband and I are being tested.
Baekhyun and I were tasked to look after my bestfriend's four-year old daughter while she is away for a business trip together with her husband. And to tell you, it wasn't an easy job at all.
We have been happily married for 5 years now, but we never thought of having a child yet to enjoy ourselves on each other's arms, travelling together, going out on a date as if we're still highschool students in a secret relationship. There are nights that we talk about babies and ended up making love protected, with the thought that if we'll have one soon, we'll never do things that we usually do again. All because we need our full attention for our baby if ever we'll have one. We're completely fine by not having one yet since we're still not ready anyways
Today, the weather was lovely. The sun was up, painting a lovely color in the sky. Quietness is also present as I prepared the foods for today's breakfast. Right after I placed the last plate filled with bacons on the table, my husband, Baekhyun, came running towards the dining room while screaming.
"JAGIII!" he exclaimed as he hugged me from the back. "She was hurting me!" he pointed at the doorway of our dining room so I looked over to where he's pointing but I didn't see anything wrong on our doorway. I raised a brow as I tilted my head to see Baekhyun behind me pouting.
"Oh, she didn't followed? Good thing." Baekhyun parted from the hug and spun me around so I could face him. When our eyes met, I felt my heart beat in excitement as he stared down at me with love dripping from his eyes.
"You two were playing?" I let out a soft laugh as I reached for the familiar pink clip on his hair and removed it, showing him what he got on his hair.
"Yeah, remember when we watched Harry Potter and now she wants to kill me using the killing curse." he answered tapping his hair, trying to find any clips so he could remove it himself. "And because we don't want to hear the sound of a true to life mandrake, I need to use my very effective acting skills." Baekhyun winked at me.
"You're doing really good, my genius husband." I caught his face between my hands and pressed my palms even more until his lips puckered before I placed a sweet peck on it.
