Telling Him You Have A Daughter ~ Lee Changsub
âI can feel a pair of little eyes watching us over there.â
Your head snapped around as Changsub spoke, stopping midway through getting into his car. As you looked back to your apartment, you noticed a figure quickly ducking down in the living room window, with their fingertips still on show. A sigh came from you as you kept your eyes on the house, knowing that beside you Changsub was doing exactly the same.
âIs that your little sister?â He innocently asked you, chuckling at how quick the figure was to duck as soon as they realised that they were spotted.
A weak smile formed in your expression as you got into the car with a shake of your head. Your heart raced as Changsub closed the car door for you before making his way around to get into the driverâs side of the car.
You could tell as he did so that his eyes were still looking back to your home to catch another glimpse of the figure. It wasnât going to be something that he would just forget, with intrigue as ever getting the better of him.
Yet as he got into the car, Changsub could tell how stiff you were, with your eyes staring forwards, and almost as if you didnât want to acknowledge that he was with you any longer.
âDo I get to find out who that little sweetheart was?â
A deflated drop of your shoulders followed Changsubâs question, nodding your head before you really thought. The two of you had only been on a handful of dates, and now you had been thrown in at the deep end in the worst possible way.
âSheâs a bit more of a closer relation to me than a little sister,â you subtly explained to him.
âHow much closer can you get then siblings?â He laughed in reply to you, placing his car key into the ignition, âunless sheâs your daughter or something perhaps.â
There was a moment of silence from you, as Changsubâs head turned around to face you, âwould it bother you that much if I said she was?â
âN-no,â he stuttered, taken aback. He was expecting you to laugh and joke how funny it would be for her to be your daughter, never expecting for it to actually be true.
You were terrified as you noticed Changsubâs expression drop, âyou look like youâre horrified that sheâs my daughter, maybe we should just call it a night for tonight, itâs alright.â
As you went to unbuckle your seatbelt, a hand reached across and quickly stopped you. Changsub was surprised to say the least, but it didnât change how he felt about you, despite what you were thinking as you studied his expression closely.
âI canât believe youâre a mum,â he whispered, keeping a tight grip on your hand, âyou seem like youâve got it all so together, fresh as a daisy. I could never have imagined that youâd be a mum when youâre so organised, strong, but now that Iâve seen your daughter, it makes sense why youâre such an incredible person.â
âIf you take one step in my house, I promise that you will see that Iâve far from got it all together,â you lightly joked in reply, âyou can barely step around my home without landing on a doll or a toy car thatâs being raced around.â
The more you spoke, the more Changsubâs smile grew, the qualities that he had picked up of yours that he admired fell into place more and more as you told him about parenthood.
The way you cared for him since your very first date, how you had everything in your bag that someone could need in case an accident happened made so much more sense. They were little things that Changsub had appreciated, but now he was seeing exactly why you were so prepared for anything that life through your way.
âI wasnât quite expecting her to spy on me, my mumâs supposed to be babysitting tonight.â
âI wonder if she likes me,â Changsub suggested, âdoes she have high expectations?â
Your head shook back to Changsub as he finally began to pull away from your home to get to your location for your date night. As you did, you noticed a head peeking up over your window, watching the two of you pull away.
âSheâs been wondering when she can meet you, but I donât want to rush things.â
âI donât mind,â Changsub responded, taking you by surprise. âI know weâve only been on a few dates, and maybe you probably wouldnât have told me about her for some time if she hadnât spied on me, but if sheâs nosy, then isnât a good step to take and not worry about anymore.â
You knew that Changsub had a point, getting your daughterâs approval was the most important thing to you whenever a new person came into your life. If she could get along with Changsub then it would be by far the biggest hurdle that youâd have to step over, not to mention how much more comfortable youâd be around Changsub too.
âIs that something that youâd really want to do?â
Changsub nodded confidently, convinced that he would be able to impress your daughter, having already whisked you off of your feet since the very first date that you had.
âI love kids,â he encouraged, turning his eyes away from you to focus on the road, âand I love cars, so maybe I can show her a thing or two at your house one day. Itâs your decision though, I donât want to pressurise you.â
âNo, I think that it would be good too.â
It was far from the direction that you imagined your date going on, but at the same time it felt right. There was something about Changsub that you just trusted, and you knew that your daughter would trust in him too.
âMaybe we can arrange something for our next date,â he suggested.
Your head nodded in agreement back at him, âare you sure that you want to meet her? Sheâs a handful, you wonât get a second to breathe when youâre around her.â
âIf sheâs anything like you, weâll get on like a house on fire,â Changsub encouraged, reaching across to rest his hand against the top of your leg, âshe must like me a little bit already to want to spy on me too.â
âShe definitely wanted to see what you looked like,â you chuckled, âand also apparently she wants to make sure that youâre a gentleman around me too.â
A loud roar of laughter came from Changsub, âIâll make sure that Iâm on my best behaviour when Iâm with her in that case, and make sure that I treat you well, although Iâm sure that I already do that, donât I?â
âIâve already told her how amazing you are,â you promised, âI think thatâs why sheâs so keen to find out some more about you.â
Changsubâs smile widened once again, âIâll have the two of you falling in love with me soon enough, you just wait and see.â
âYou sound pretty confident,â you joked, âare you really prepared to enter my crazy world?â
âAbsolutely, your crazy world seems amazing.â
