Chapter 106 - Hes more handsome (1/2)

”Kyuri, how are you not right for me? I am the one who is lacking compared to you. It's me who needs you and Little Hae. Little Hae also loves me as her father. ” Yeom Young Hwa takes my hand and pats it. ”You don't think that it's best for Little Hae if we become a whole family? ”

I take my hand back. Little Hae is peeking at us curiously. Can she live without Young Hwa? Will she cry again if I ban him from coming? What's the best decision for her? All I want is for her to be happy. I want to give her everything that she needs and wants. I want to become everything for her, but she still needs someone like Young Hwa.

I say to him, ”I will think about it.”

A month is gone. Nothing has changed between us. I get caught while I am on the call with my brother, thanks to Little Hae. Young Hwa is also there. He asks me why I didn't introduce him. I don't know either. A part of me is reluctant to accept him as a part of my life, though I am slowly getting used to him.

My daughter learns things fast. Ever since she saw me calling her uncle, she tries to make a call too. I have to hide the phones away from her. One day, her toddler friend Jimmy complains about not having a television at our home. She asks me what television is.

I wonder if I should get one.

I didn't have one before because I don't want to see Kang Si An accidentally. I don't have social media accounts. I don't want to hear or see anything about him in case I waver.

Kids like watching cartoons. That's the only reason why I bring one to the house.

***

The loud voice of the television breaks me out of my trance. Kang Si An's movie is playing on the screen. daughter is looking at it with awe while holding the remote in her hands.

Little Hae turns her chubby head toward me. She points at the screen. ”Daddy?”

”...”

She suddenly presses her face on the screen and tries to hug the TV with her little arms. ”Daddy”

No.

I take the remote from her hand and change the channel to cartoons. She starts crying and protesting. ”Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!”

I am horrified when I realize that she might be calling Young Hwa her daddy because he is handsome. Will she choose everyone as her father as long as they are handsome?

”That's not your daddy.” I have a headache because of her shrill cries. ”Why do you call all the handsome men your daddy? Can't you think about your mother's pride once? Because of you, I already have Young Hwa. How many dads do you want?”

She pouts and runs away from me. She has a temper too. Just then, Young Hwa walks in.

”Did mother and daughter fight again?” He picks her up in his arms. ”Why is Little Hae troubling her mother?”

She looks at him coyly and coils her little arms around his neck. ”Daddy, I want daddy.”

Hearing that makes me realize that nothing is going right in my life.

Yeom Young Hwa smiles at her gently. ”I am here, Little Hae.”
