“You’re sure you’ll be alright?” You ask, pausing before putting your shoes on. Junhee smiles reassuringly at you, gently bouncing your baby in his arms.
“For the hundredth time, yes,” he says, leaning in to press a kiss to your forehead. You melt into his touch, taking a deep breath. It isn’t that you don’t trust him to take care of your daughter, it’s just that your baby is still so young and you really haven’t been away from her for any extended amount of time since she’s been born. Junhee seems to notice this, his catlike grin growing. His gaze turns to your daughter before he presses a kiss to her forehead as well, his expression somehow softening and becoming even fonder.
“We’re gonna have a great time,” he murmurs, though you can’t be sure who he’s talking to. Then, he looks up at you, “And so are you.” You straighten your posture and nod resolutely.
“You’re right. Thanks, babe,” you reply, slipping your shoes on. “Call if you need anything. I love you.” You press a kiss to his cheek and then your daughter’s.
“Love you, too. Tell the girls I say hi.” You wave on your way out the door, shutting it as gently as possible to prevent disturbing your daughter.
When you first get to brunch, you’re still pretty nervous about being away from home for too long. However, by the time you’re halfway through your first mimosa with no texts from Jun, you start to feel better.
You know he’s a great father. To be frank, you wouldn’t have had a child with him if you weren’t so sure of that fact — but you carried your daughter for nine months, so you think you have every right to be a little overprotective. And, well, also you have bragging rights at this brunch. Your friends are more than used to this by now, considering you were the first to get married and now to have a child. They coo over photos of your little family, and when you tell them Junhee is babysitting for now they all ask when it’s going to be their turn for baby time.
Eventually, the group slips into more casual conversation that doesn’t involve so much discussion about your baby and husband, and you feel all concern you had about leaving them at home slip away. In fact, you’re so thoroughly engrossed in brunch that you don’t even notice the hours passing by until one of your friends gets a call from her own husband asking if she wants him to record the next episode of their show or if she’s going to be home to watch it. It’s at that point the group of you decide to disperse, and your anxiety comes back just a little bit on the drive home.
You open the door to a suspiciously quiet home. You toe your shoes off, but before you can call for Junhee you catch sight of your husband’s feet hanging over the arm of the couch. In confusion, you advance into the living room — and can’t contain your smile at the scene before you.
Junhee is fast asleep on the couch, still in his pajamas, and your daughter is asleep on his chest with the cat curled close to his hip, also asleep. As quietly as you can, you pull out your phone and swipe up for the camera, snapping as many pictures as possible before your cat inevitably hears you and opens one unimpressed eye. You press a finger to your lips, as if that will do anything, but your cat meows in annoyance anyways.
However, the cat is the only one who stirs — so you simply slink away into the bedroom to get changed and set one of the photos as your home screen, thoroughly prepared to brag once more to all of your friends about your amazing little family.
