"Happy Birthday Dami!" I called out as I entered their apartment on the Tuesday, following a long day at work with Seungmin being a bit of a pest to Jeongin, ALL DAY.

"Miss Wang!" She shouted, and I didn't see her till I turned the corner into their living room, seeing her sitting on the sofa, Minho next to her, asleep.

"Did He Fall asleep- when you were watching- MONSTERS HIGH?!" I said, sounding very shocked which made Dami giggle a lot.

"Hmm-"

"He will have to be punished then- how about you tickle him?" I said, pointing at him, and she agreed.

It was hard for her to tickle Minho one handed, so I helped and we eventually woke him up, and he was screaming and convulsing on the floor as we did so.

"STOP! STOP! STOP!" He screamed and we eventually did, much to our dismay.

"Why do I live with bullies?" Minho asked us, kissing the top of Dami's head before sitting back on the sofa, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Dami- would you like your birthday present?" I asked, remembering what I had come for.

"YES! YES! YES!" She shouted, which made me laugh and I pulled out the sheet of paper from my pocket, thankfully it wasn't crinkled.

"B- BTS? BTS TICKETS?!" She screamed, and I nodded.

I winked at Minho as she moved awkwardly to give me a hug.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU MISS WANG!" She said loudly and happily, smiling from ear to ear.

"Don't thank me darling- it was your da-"

"I don't care- you're the best!" She said, and hugged me eventually.

She was savage. Just like her father.

"I'm so excited to see my Oppas." She said to herself, and Minho looked concerned.

"YOUR OPPAS? Since when did my daughter have any oppas?" He asked, making me chuckle beside him.

"Jungkook-OPPA!" She yelled and Minho tickled her until she screamed and he stopped.

"Actually- Jeongin is my oppa." She said again, and this time I was the one with the shocked face.

"Jeongin? As in Yang PongDang Jeongin?" I said, giving him a little nickname which fitted his cute character.

"Yes, he's my oppa. I love Jeon-"

"No." Minho and I both said, covering her mouth.

"You're not ready to have any boyfriends- no- no- no-" Minho said, and I nodded with her, not that Jeongin would be bad for her.

We ordered in pizza for Dami's birthday and she went to bed early, as the doctor's had ordered.

"Min- I know we've only dated for like, two days-" I said, giggling.

"Hmm-" He said, and I soon noticed the smudges of tomato sauce around his mouth, which, due to the dark lighting, I hadn't seen before.

"But I like you- a lot." I said, smiling and wiping the smears away with my thumb.

He caught my hand, wiping it with a napkin before smashing his lips to mine. We hadn't had a passionate kiss for a long time, well, I say long, it felt like decades for me.

"You taste like pizza-" I giggled and so did he. This time, I wasn't shocked by his giggle, I just wanted him to giggle more. It's addictive.

"Goodbye Eddie-" I said to the boy in my class, who was the last one to leave, and that meant, I could finally get going back to my house.

I got home at around 6, the lights were on, which meant someone was home, and I was 100% sure it was Dami.

"Yah- Dami-ah. Don't turn on all the lights if you don't need them on." I said, seeing the 13-year old sitting on the sofa, eating chocolate chip cookies.

"Sorry mum." She said, and I rolled my eyes for the nth time in my existence.

"Have you done your homework?" I asked, she finished school earlier than I did, so had longer to do her work.

"Yeah- I finished it at school." She said, I nodded, believing her. Why would she lie after all?

"What are you watching?" I asked, sitting down beside her, not hungry enough to bother to make food.

"Some property show- there's nothing on TV." She whined, I chuckled and grabbed the remote from our other sofa.

"Have you eaten?" I asked her, and she nodded, pointing at the cup ramen on the table.

I turned it onto the news, and Dami groaned.

"Why don't we call Dad?" I asked, fiddling with my silver promise ring.

"FaceTime or phone?" She asked, and I said FaceTime.

I got out the iPad and clicked on his contact, setting up the call quickly;

"D- DAD?!" Dami shouted and we saw Minho's shoulder in view of the camera, his hair slightly showing at the top of the screen but his face was not.

"It's really loud where I am- can I just text?" He said, noticeably shouting.

"Where are you?" Dami asked, but Minho hung up.

"Right- let's just text him. He's probably just backstage rehearsing or something-" I said.

Minho's been working on BTS' 3rd World Tour for over 6 months now, he came back for a week about 4 months ago but we haven't seen him since. He is currently supposed to be in Singapore or Malaysia, one of those countries but I couldn't be are due to the randomness of the planning, which made the route all zig-zagged.

Hey, sorry we didn't realize where you were would be so loud

No need to apologize, it was cute

When are you going to be back?

- Dami

Ah Dami-yah

The tour finishes in two months, I promise I'll be home soon

Love you

Love you too dad

Can you pass back to mum please?

What did I miss?

Nothing, except a cute DamixMinho moment

I've met a guy called Jisung in Malaysia, he's really cute

Oh my, I always knew you were bi

No, I love you

Jisung is like a squirrel

Squirrel Jisung?

Yeah, do you know him?

No, sounded familiar though

-

Ahhh...

The squirrel memory, with dad.

-

I've got to go practice, bye honey

Bye x

When Minho left our chat, I felt a little sad and there was a pang in my heart due to its loneliness.

"Is dad ok?" Dami asked me after a few seconds, I nodded.

"He's just going to practice-" I said and Dami nodded.

"Umm- mum?"

"Yeah?" I said, still finding her calling me that weird, though I adopted her 3 years ago with Minho.

"There's this boy at school-"

"Oh my-" I said, blushing slightly and looked away before we had a really long girly talk about this boy who she hasn't really spoken to before, but she likes his vibe, his name is Eric.

"He's friends with Felix." She told me, and I gasped, before smiling widely. At least I knew he kept 'good-ish' company.

After a few hours, it was almost 10 and I should really have sent Dami to bed, but I didn't. I wasn't in teacher mode.

I got a phone call from Jackson's number.

"Yah- come say goodbye to me at the airport!" He said, and there was that familiar loud background noise sound that we had heard with Minho's call.

"Dami-ah! I can't leave you alone this late at night- we're going to the airport to say by to Jackson." I said, and she quickly hurried out after me, wearing a coat and her sneakers.

I drove to the airport, hurrying to see when Jackson would be leaving so we could at least hug him goodbye.

Where was he going anyway?

We were waiting around Departures/Arrivals, where all the passengers come out of the tunnels, but he wasn't there. Why would he be there anyway?

Then I caught my eye on a guy, of Minho's height, Minho's statures and black hair. Did he dye it back to natural?

He was leaving the tunnel and his eyes caught mine. Fuck- it's- it's Minho.

He began to sprint towards me, and I pulled Dami with me towards him before I jumped on him, hugging him close as I pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

"Wha- what are you doing here? You still have two more months?" I said, and he shook his head.

"I've stopped them- I want to be with my favourite girls, I love you both so much." He said, kissing Dami's head too.

"Which is why..."

Suddenly hundreds of people turned around to see Minho who was gradually kneeling down.

"I love you both so much- and Dami you'll always be my girl. But Annie- I have never loved anyone like you in this way- every before and it's the best thing in the world." He said quietly, and took out a box with a ring in it from his pocket.

He opened it up and it was a more intricate and exaggerated version of my promise ring he gave me when I adopted Dami.

It was silver, had three diamonds on it and lots of space for any expansion in the diamond department.

"I love you- Annie Wang, will you marry me?"

I crossed my arms before giggling and letting out a few nervous tears.

"Fuc-'of course I will-" I said, pulling him into a massive hug, Dami too, before pressing a long kiss on his lips.

We held eye contact and I knew that this was the piece of the puzzle I had been missing from the beginning;

Love.
