Taesan’s POV

My head turns automatically as Seoha joins us in the kitchen.

He smells beautiful, like a special dessert just for me.

Pride swells in my chest with how he looks in my clothes; the omega looks as if the shirt was made to swallow him up.

A smile stretches my lips, and it’s unintentional, this omega knows how to bring out parts of me that shouldn’t exist.

Soft. Stupidly obsessed. Fuck. This isn’t me.

He makes me forget that all I’ve known is pain.

"Good morning" he announces in a small voice and Sooin gasps, jumping off the little chair and running to the omega.

Even Jisu laughs at the way she hugs Seoha with both arms.

’Mother and daughter...’ my alpha reminds me and I shut my eyes, cursing under my breath as I remember that detail.

Fuck.

Seoha still doesn’t know what I just found out about.

My eyes scan the omega, he’s wearing a sweet smile for Sooin, he’s holding her gently and he looks better than he did last night.

Maybe he can take it.

I’ll tell him. I’ll find a way to tell him.

"And I told dad, you are the prettiest" Sooin says while cupping Seoha’s face, and the omega blushes as he shyly looks at me.

"Thank you, Sooinie, you are the prettiest too"

"I want to look like daddy when I’m big, daddy is pretty like my bias" Sooin says and Jisu rolls her eyes.

"Who’s your bias?" the young lady asks and Sooin sticks her tongue out.

"I won’t tell you"

Those two have been talking endlessly about having a bias...what is an Ateez? isn’t Seventeen a number? And why are Stray Kids everywhere?

’Imagining having two daughters with Seoha...’ my alpha says and I shake my head.

’Keeping him round and full...’

Breeding is the last thing I should be thinking of...especially since I haven’t felt my pre-rut in a while.

Fuck.

"Breakfast" I announce, lifting the plate of pancakes to show all of them that it’s ready.

"Thank you" Seoha says as he places the overexcited Sooin in her seat, and then he takes his own seat.

Jisu comes to help me with dishing the meal, no longer awkward and stiff with me like the previous times.

"Oppa, here" she says and slides the bottle of syrup to me.

I read the label briefly before thanking her with a subtle nod, I am too distracted with Seoha.

The omega is eating quietly, and the way his cheeks move is fascinating.

Only my mate can make an act as simple as eating look beautiful.

And as if sensing that I’m looking at him, he looks up at me like a deer caught in the headlight. Eyes wide, cheek full, and just...beautiful.

"Eat, we have a long day ahead of us" I say and he blinks twice, chewing and swallowing.

"Why?" he asks and Sooin answers for us.

"We are going to grandma!" my pup says and Seoha’s jaw drops open with surprise.

"Really? Is that true?" he asks and when I give a nod, his eyes fill with tears, but he drops his gaze.

"Thank you, Taesan" he says with his bottom lip trembling.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

At least it’s better than I’m sorry.

"Seoha oppa, why do you call boss by his name? Isn’t that weird?" Jisu says and I tilt my head, curious to know where this will head.

"He’s Taesan...that’s his name" Seoha mumbles, sniffling to hold back the tears that he was just about to cry.

Fuck, why is he so cute? And when did I become such a...disgustingly in love person?

"Yes, he’s Taesan-ssi to us but not to you, I mean...you two..." Jisu wiggles her brows and Sooin’s face shines with interest.

"Dad and daddy kisses!" she says and Seoha almost chokes on his pancake while I hold back my laughter.

"Yah!" he says defensively.

"She’s not wrong, you two kiss so you can call him honey" Jisu says in a cute voice, making a funny gesture as she says the word ’honey’.

"Yes" Sooin supplies her agreement and Seoha covers his face with his palm, red with embarrassment.

"Honey, here, have some water" I say, passing him a glass of water and he stares at me stupendously.

"Honeyyy" Sooin and Jisu say at the same time.

"Cute!" Jisu gushes.

"Dad, me too" Sooin says.

"My precious baby, have some water" I say to her, passing her a small cup and she giggles.

"See, it’s not that hard, Seoha oppa" Jisu says, still wriggling her brows like the menace that she is.

Did Minjae divide his soul into my employee or has she always been this way?

"Stop bothering me" the omega mutters, sipping the water calmly.

Oh...so Seoha’s the type that blushes with his ears too, why am I just noticing that?

"Or you can say, hyung, Taesan Oppa is older than you"

"Or husband" Sooin adds and that’s the worse of it.

Seoha starts to cough wildly, hunching over to catch his breath, and I openly laugh at how surprised the girls look at his reaction.

"My wife is a bit shy, please leave him alone" I say and Seoha pauses mid coughing to glare at me.

So this is how he looks when he glares? Cute.

"Come here" I say, getting up to pick him out of the chair and carrying him to the living room away from his ’bullies’.

I place the omega on my lap and help him calm down slowly.

"Why are you teasing me so much?" he whines as I rub his back, and a small chuckle is my response to his question.

"It’s not fair" he says, and even though he’s hiding his face, I can hear his pout.

"I’ll make it better" I say, pressing a kiss to the top of his head and he melts into me.

"Those two are peeping, aren’t they?" he asks and I look over my shoulder.

My pup and Jisu are doing a poor job at spying on us.

"Hmm"

"I need to wake Minjae, he’ll protect me" Seoha says and I groan internally at the mention of that wild cat of an omega.

Shit.

I forgot him at Junho’s.
