Mature was a word Hyunjin thought had always described him. Around certain people, his maturity level would drop, sure. But this was new. The Hyunjin that wanted to run when things got too serious? When something became too difficult? Simply settling because it was easier? That version of him was gone. He had to admit all of the talks about adoption started out great, and the more real it became, the more he panicked a little on the inside. But now that they were home, now that he was holding this small, six month old baby in his arms, his heart honestly couldn’t feel anymore full in that moment.
It was like he was completely awestruck. He barely even paced. Just stared down at Lyla cradled against his chest, finger gently brushing at her hair. One small label, one tiny inconvenience outside of her control, and no one had wanted her. He simply didn’t understand how because honestly? He was pretty sure he was already in love. “I think she’s starting to fall asleep,” Jin kept his voice down, finally moving a couple steps and looking up to find Alex with a smile. His attention ended up falling back to her mere seconds after though, smile still plastered on his lips. “Should probably take Cheddar out. It’s been a long day... You wanna hold her?”
