[ PotD Drabble ] Part You, Part Me
YunRae(YunHo-centric)+ChangMin. 489 words. Fluff. Prompt: Tell me how something this beautiful can be so real.
Author's Notes: This prompt took me like, two days to write? Yus. Reason: PMS. I saw the prompt, I saw the image in my head and couldn't stop tearing. Damnit, YunHo. Just DAMNIT.
It’s so unbelievable, and I don’t want to let it go
This love is so beautiful, flowing down like a waterfall
I feel like you’ve always been forever a part of me
- Craig David, Unbelievable
It was ChangMin holding the name card, anxiously waiting for the clock to strike four. Beside him stood YunHo, who was wringing his hands nervously and looking as if he’s about to cry.
“What’s taking them so long?” YunHo wondered aloud, startling ChangMin, who had thought YunHo had lost his ability to speak as soon as he was pushed out of the delivery room hours ago.
“Relax, hyung. Nuna will be fine.”
YunHo sighed and rubbed his forehead with a trembling hand. ChangMin knew YunHo was going to break down if he didn’t see Rae soon, so he decided to bring him to the nursery to take his mind off her condition. Still, YunHo was unable to calm himself down.
The younger was about to speak when the curtains to the nursery window were pulled apart. He looked at YunHo, who then sprung to his feet and walked over to the window. ChangMin followed and handed the name card to him. It read: Baby Girl Jung.
YunHo took the card and showed it to the nurse, who politely nodded and went to the far side of the room. Seconds later, he came face to face with a tiny pink bundle lying on a little transparent crib labeled Baby Girl Jung.
“Oh my goodness,” YunHo gasped as he gazed lovingly at the baby - his and Rae’s - waving her tiny arms as if she wanted to break free from her receiving blanket. “JiYul… JiYul-ah…”
“Oh wow, she’s a lively one, hyung,” ChangMin said, eyes also fixed on the baby as he tapped his finger against the glass window.
Her eyes were unmistakably YunHo’s, and so was her very fair, almost luminous skin that turned pink at the tips of her nose and fingers. Her tiny lips and black hair which slightly curled at the ends were Rae’s, and when he saw a tiny hint of a smile, he knew he’d fallen in love again.
For the second time that day, YunHo failed to fight back tears.
That night, JiYul was roomed-in, and Rae was delighted to be able to hold her again, even if she was still quite weak.
“Isn’t she beautiful?” Rae asked as she held JiYul in her arms, and the little one snuggled for warmth against her chest.
YunHo, who was holding a camera, was mesmerized at the sight. My two girls…
Little JiYul yawned, and Rae broke into a smile just as YunHo took a photo. Rae was laughing amidst her tears, and YunHo’s hands trembled just trying to take as many photos of them as he can. In a little while, Rae asked him to join them in bed, and he obliged.
YunHo gathered both of them in his arms and said a little prayer of thanks - Thank you… for the warmth, the love, the beauty of it all… - before planting a kiss on Rae’s hair and JiYul’s tiny foot.
Now I see what love means…
...
Yes, I seriously had to cry my eyes out. And this was exactly what I needed. (At least it wasn't a death fic, y'know.)
Thanks for reading! ♥
