I grin as Maya holds up the mirror so I can see my hair. She kept it my original length, minus a little trim of the ends and dyed it this very pretty dark orange auburn color.

Me: Should we dye my eyebrows too?
Maya: Don't push it.

We both giggle as she adds some curls to it. Her best-friend Crys smiles at my hair.

Crys: Pretty work as always Maya. How's the babies?
Me: They're good. It's like they're growing over night though.
Crys: That's how my son was, one minute he could barely sit up by himself now he's running around demanding fruit snacks.

I smile, part of me can't wait until they become that age. The other part doesn't want them to because explaining how they're twins with different dads is going to be chaotic.

I'll have their dads do it.

Maya: Graduation Friday, how're we feeling?
Me: Finally!
Maya: I'm so proud of you.
Me: Oh don't get soft on me now.
Maya: No seriously! I decided college wasn't for me and didn't even try.
Me: But you graduated cosmetology school.

She waves her hand.

Me: That's a huge accomplishment too. I don't have the patience to learn about the history and proper care of hair, skin and makeup.
Maya: I guess it was easy for me because I genuinely enjoyed doing it. Like how you have a clear goal and reason for social work.

Me: That's true!

After getting my free hairstyle I went to grab me an ice coffee. Jungkook has the babies for a few hours so I'm just getting some air. I sit on the park bench people watching. There's a young couple with a toddler on a picnic.

I smile as the dad airplanes her through the sky.

"Fancy seeing you here?"

Haechan smiles holding up a bag of doughnuts.

Haechan: Got some leftovers from work.

He hands me a peanut coated one, my favorite flavor. We sit on the bench enjoying the comfortable silence.

Me: Can I tell you something?
Haechan: Of course.
Me: I think I like Changkyun.
Haechan: Duh.

I roll my eyes.

Me: In a deeper way to where I actually want to date him. Would that, would that bother you?

I look over to him and he chuckles.

Haechan: Of course not. I loved you Jasmine, I still do but you're my best-friend now. When I see you with other guys I don't get jealous I get worried because I want you to be happy and get treated right.

He sighs.

Haechan: Changkyun maybe a jerk, but he's my friend now too and I know he'll treat you special.

I smile.

Haechan: So yes you have my blessing.
Me: So dramatic!
Haechan: The only way I know how to be.

Regardless, making sure he was okay was a main priority of mine. Many of my ex's can go to hell with gasoline draws on but he's always had a special place in my heart.

Daniel has been screaming for hours, I rock him back and forth trying to soothe him. I pray to God he hasn't turned colic. No bottle, no diaper change, no pacifier is helping.
Samuel is sleep thank the lord but he's still moving around. Hopefully he stays sleep until I can calm his brother down.

I feel so sad because he's scream is so intense but he's so little. How is all this sound in that tiny body? I send a text to the group-chat letting them know what's going on.

Me: It's okay baby, it's okay.

A knock on the door startles me.

I open it up and all three boys stand there out of breath.

Jungkook: We got here as quick as we could.

Changkyun grabs Daniel swaying him side to side.

Me: He was okay when they got home but a hour ago he started to cry. I thought it was his normal cry but it never stopped.
Haechan: He has some lungs on him.

As if on cue another loud cry comes from the nursery. Jungkook runs to grab Sam.

Haechan: You don't look too good Jas. Let me grab you some water.
Me: Thank you.

Samuel cries just like Daniel making my eyes widen.

Jungkook lies him on his back rubbing his stomach gently, pushing gently on his stomach. A large fart comes from the baby followed by a burp.

His crying stops.

Jungkook does the same to Daniel and his crying stops too.

Jungkook: Backed up gas. This trick was in the parenting pamphlet my mom made me.
Me: Oh God, so they're okay?

Both the babies babble making me smile.

I could cry in happiness right now.

Me: Thank you guys so much.
Haechan: Of course!
Jungkook: Always.

Changkyun smiles.

Changkyun: And forever.
