Youghyun crouched down just in time to catch the little girl who came barreling into his arms. Her cheeks red, a mark of the effort she had to put into her gymnastics class.
“I missed you Daddy,” she said, voice muffled by his neck.
“I missed you too Sweetheart,” he said as he pressed a kiss to her temple. “Are you hungry?”
“Starving! Can you make me an omelet? Mommy said you can make me an omelet!”
“To be honest,” you began looking over at your husband of nearly seven years. “I don’t know if you’ll be able to make anything edible that she’ll actually eat.”
Younghyun gave you a dramatic side-eye, “She’s not that picky.”
“But she’s particular about how she likes her food plated.”
He had to give you that.
‘We’re ready for introductions.’
You let out an involuntary laugh, patting his thigh, “Does he even need one when he’s known for his appetite?”
Younghyun ignored your words with a playful smile as he bowed, your own bow following in suit.
“Hello, I’m Kang Younghyun, better known as YoungK of Day6 and this is my wife,” he motioned to you with his hand, “who drives me half insane and is quite the nuisance–”
You smacked his ribs with a scoff, “I’m the nuisance? I don’t eat nearly an entire carton of eggs in the morning.”
“She’s a nurse. Our five year old daughter, Kang Nari, is currently at a gymnastics lesson but you’ll meet her in a bit once I go get her.”
‘How’d you two meet?’
Before Younghyun could respond you opened your mouth, “He was visiting a friend in the hospital and got lost in the maternity ward. He wasn’t visiting anyone on that floor. I had to lead him to the right floor and a few days later the same thing happened. That time when I took him to the right floor he practically shoved his phone into my hands with a sweet smile. If only I had known the mask that was.”
“I’m sweet!”
“More like annoying.”
The two of you continued your back and forth banter the crew in front of you leaving your minds as Younghyun walked you out for your 24hr shift, only for him to leave with you, making the crew scramble after the both of you, just barely managing to catch the sweet embrace and kiss you shared as you got into your car and drove off to the hospital.
“What is that?” Nari asked tiny brows furrowing as she looked down at the…food in front of her.
Younghyun bit back a laugh at how much she looked like you in that moment before furrowing his own brows, “It’s your omelet…”
Nari looked at him seriously before poking it with her finger, “Are you sure it’s an omelet?”
“Well that’s what I was aiming for…”
Looking at him once more she took a bite, continuing to eat the whole thing silently without saying a word. Younghyun smiled to himself. What was that about not making something she would be able to eat? Oh he couldn’t wait to prove you wrong with this one.
‘Was the omelet good?’
Nari looked to her right where the kitchen was —where her father was currently washing the dishes— before shaking her head.
“But Daddy made it so I ate it.
Much of Younghyun’s journey on the show took place within the confines of his home…specifically the kitchen. Between his and Nari’s large appetites there was never a shortage of cooking shots and funny eating moments.
And to make it even better, Younghyun actually gets better at cooking throughout the duration of his time on the show. Which led to the sweet moment that was currently being filmed in the kitchen.
“The best way to crack an egg is on a flat surface,” Younghyun said softly as he stood behind Nari’s step stool, giving her an egg and letting her tap it on the counter before fully cracking it into a bowl, a feat that took both of her hands and her tongue being stuck out in concentration. He’d cracked the rest needed for the recipe before she did the one. “There you go. Now add the sugar.”
She took the measuring cup from him and dumped it into the bowl, well dumped half of it into the bowl and the other half on the counter.
“Oops,” she looked at her dad, eyes wide, measuring cup still in her hands.
“It’s okay. We’ll just clean it up once we’re done. Do you want to mix?”
She nodded her head, trading the cup for the whisk and slowly mixing the eggs and sugar as best as she could, “Mommy’s going to love the cake and so will baby sister!”
Younghyun laughed awkwardly, casting a brief look at the camera directly in front of them, “We don’t know if it’s a sister or brother yet, Nari…”
“It’s a sister cause I want a sister.”
‘Baby sister?’
“We wanted to wait a little bit longer before saying anything…but Nari had other plans I suppose. But, uh, yeah, we’re expecting our second child…unknown sex at the moment regardless of what Nari says.”
summary. after a typical break-up, your cousin tried to set you up with his friend who happened to just broke up recently as well. after months, you knew it wouldn’t end well and the universe agreed, as suddenly he went m.i.a and it was easier for you to live being free and single. until one day he texted you again…
genre. social media!AU, fake dating!AU / angsty (still trying to find spots to add some fluff)
