Happy Reading's...

-

The cherry blossom petal abortion seems to be a symbol of how John's current mood is. How not, the deer netra is now witnessing two presences that he very much hoped for, right in front of him.

His heart was also pounding, like meeting a heart for the first time. Until his thin lips muttered softly.

"God... "

There was no answer, the woman was still busy peeping and rubbing the adorable face of the beautiful princess in her arms. John watched the scene that made his round pupils tremble, dripping some clear liquid from the eyelids several times in submission.

"Why did you get out without my mother's permission, baby?"

"YeNa spelling buyung! Mommy hurts mom, she ha-us helped!"

Hyuji again kissed YeNa's flushed round cheeks.

"But the great-grandfather fell!"

"Mom's worried about you, baby! Next time don't go alone again, promise?!"

YeNa nodded with bangs and cheeks that bounced excitedly. "Yes promise!" sahut later. And then I continued, "Mother! Ye meet oang mi-ip father!"

"Where?"

YeNa turned her head and pointed at where John was standing.

As soon as Hyuji's body froze, his lips were tightly clenched, Hyuji's jaw seemed to harden, the beautiful bead he had slowly crept, blurring in a thick nebula.

Hyuji further tightened the sling for YeNa, afraid that suddenly the man approached and snatched YeNa from her.

"Hyu—"

"Don't go near John! Or I'll scream!" hyuji said in fear, his body shaking violently. "Don't take YeNa from me!"

"I won't take it from you!" john fast.

While the little girl stared confusedly at the two people who in her view were feuding.

Their beads are ribbed, with vibrating and juicy pupils, crying—both.

Unable to hold on any longer, Hyuji quickly stepped up and avoided John who was staring at him. However, quickly the big and sturdy palm stopped Hyuji's steps.

Hyuji's frail body thrashed, trying to remove his arm from John's firm grip.

"Hyu, listen to me—"

"Let go John! You hurt me!" pinta Hyuji while struggling.

Seeing and hearing her mother cry, YeNa was terrified. His mind had assumed that the man in front of him and also the mother was a bad man who tried to hurt them. YeNa crying strong—hard once.

"Let go of mother." YeNa said between her loud cries. "Don't hurt YeNa's mother!"

John was choked to hear YeNa's cry, John stretched his grip and slowly took off. John's palm stretched out to rub his little Princess who was still in the arms of the mother, but the little girl refused quite hard.

"This is my dear father." said John pokely in a raucous voice.

YeNa stopped her crying for a moment, looking at the mother who was still stunned. Then draping both arms— embraced and leaned on Hyuji's shoulder while asking in a slightly choked soft voice. "Mother, is this uncle YeNa's father?"

Hyuji was still unable to make a sound from his esophagus, his heart still shocked and unexpected that John would come, find himself, and also keep the promise he had said four years ago.

Hyuji rubbed the nape of his daughter's marble neck that was slightly visible behind the blushing pink scarf.

At first glance John and Hyuji's gaze met again, but soon Hyuji turned his eyes away. Unable to stare at John's adorable deer bead. However, soon YeNa distanced herself and looked at the mother's facial features with John's reddened round nose and bead.

"Uncle is it.. Dad?"

Hyuji rubbed his daughter's face gently, then nodded slowly. Making John's heart warm instantly, those thin lips quivered again in tears and laughter together, not expecting that Hyuji would say 'yes' to his daughter's question. With a happy look, John extended both arms to YeNa.

John lifted the little body into the affectionate embrace of him. Smell and inhale the aroma of strawberries that burst from the tiny body in the deckap that he gave.

"I'm sorry new dad came, baby! Father will make you and your mother happy after this, "said John while kissing his daughter's strawberry fragrance.

Moments after that, John linked his gaze to the woman who gave birth and raised his daughter well. One arm stretched out and opened to ask the woman to come closer and be in the same arms as their little girl.

Hyuji was silent with a faint glow at the spot where he was standing, but John gave a nod. Hyuji approached hesitantly, then leaned against the chest of John's field, right beside YeNa, their daughter.

Both are now in John's warm embrace.

"Thank you for giving birth and raising a Princess as beautiful as YeNa so well! Sorry just came now! Thank you dear.." he said with a few kisses that he landed on the top of Hyuji's head, the woman who had always been shadowing the mind and he could never forget.

Snow spots again fell from the sky accompanied by six pairs of boots that urged the streets to return to the paraduan place. John escorts both of his soulmates to the house that Hyuji and his little princess have been living in all this time.

YeNa was between two people who loved her.

"Who's his full name Hyu?"

"Just ask yourself! He's like a bell!" hyuji replied, making John smile. Ah, Hyuji missed that smile.

Now, John stops his steps and kneels beside his beautiful daughter with a smile that was always given to Hyuji.

"What's your long name, baby?" john asked as he rubbed Chubby YeNa's cheek.

"John YeNa!"

John laughed in satisfaction as Hyuji pinned his name on the Princess. "Waaah. what a beautiful name! Just like the guy!" praise John to his daughter who is now laughing with the same smile form as hers.

John stood up again, and the three of them walked back. "Thank you!" john whispered to Hyuji while glancing at one of his round beads.

Without notice, they were no longer far from home. It was seen that aunt and uncle Hong were waiting anxiously outside, but they immediately ran to hug YeNa when they saw the little girl they already thought was like a granddaughter back.

"Aigoo YeNa, from wherever you are dear..!" auntie Hong hugged and kissed YeNa, then turned her eyes to the handsome man who was standing not far from Hyuji.

"Did he find YeNa Hyu?"

"Yes." YeNa replied awkwardly.

"Thank you for taking care of YeNa young man... "

John just smiled while bowing respectfully.

"Dad, let's go home to YeNa's house." cried YeNa suddenly, making the atmosphere become silent for a moment. Even aunt Hong stared uncomprehendingly at Hyuji.

Hyuji laughed awkwardly, as YeNa had already mentioned the thing that should have been a temporary secret. Hyuji was forced to introduce John to Aunt Hong.

"Th-this is John bi!" hyuji kaku said. "Yena's father!" he continued without daring to link his manic to the aunt.

"Ahahah, YeHah! Let's go in first! Grandma make you a hot drink!"

Aunt Hong grabbed Uncle Hong's arm as well to help him pull into the house. Leaving behind two presences that seemed to take some time to speak together. And when aunt and uncle Hong disappeared behind the door, John smiled gently at the figure of the woman he missed so much. Stretching out the arms fluttered the mane of Hyuji that fell in front of the eyes.

"You're getting pretty, Hyu!"

"Currently, bullshit! JiEun will be angry when she finds out you're seeing me!"

John shook his head faintly. "I've already canceled my engagement to him!"

Both Hyuji beads perfectly pattern. But the thing that John did was more surprising Hyuji's heart was like it wanted to jump out of place. John grabbed a small waist and kissed Hyuji's forehead gently.

"Let's live together like we used to!"

Hyuji thumped the two beads between the warm hulls that were still circling the body. Wanting to stay away, John manages to hold Hyuji's body to stay in position.

"Mama is waiting for you both!"[]
