Chapter 4: Oh fate, why so cruel yet sweet at the same time

Chanyeol, Sehun, and Minseok can’t help themselves from chuckling just by watching Chanhyun so excited after seeing the grand entrance of the resort they were about to enter. The toddler can’t stop squealing and is running everywhere much to the amusement of his father.

Although he’s already started kindergarten, Chanhyun still couldn’t go to a lot of places aside from his home and school which is just a few blocks away. Chanyeol feels guilty because a kid needs to be able to explore and go to places, but he’s been so busy these past few years, being a single father after all is hard work.

So this little vacation has been a welcome break not just to them three who are busy running the cafe, but also to their little one. A new playground for Chanhyun even just for this weekend.

They’d been staying in Jeju for almost two years now and yet they haven’t been able to explore the beauty of the island or even visit some of the resorts that are famous in the area. They were so busy with opening the shop, starting a new life away from the capital and for Chanyeol, raising up a baby.

His baby that is now a grown up - who even likes to call himself ‘little man’ - sometimes Chanyeol feels emotional over this but he’s happy his baby is growing well.

Chanhyun stops from his running and looks back at his father and uncles, seeing that they’re a little bit away from him he starts to laugh and call them over.

The three men all laughs at this accusatory expression and fastened their paces to catch up with the little angry man.

Both Minseok and Sehun have special spots in their hearts for Chanhyun, as they watched him grow up from being a tiny bundle of a crying baby - that almost made Chanyeol cry at times too - to this bundle of laughter and hyperactiveness they sometimes have trouble keeping up. Being old has its consequences, okay.

Minseok, as he was with Chanyeol since the man was studying and was even there during the happiest years with of his life with Baekhyun, was appointed godfather much to the dismay and complaints of Luhan and Sehun. They can’t do anything about it, Minseok being Chanyeol’s favorite (‘That was before I was in the picture!’, as Luhan likes to exclaim) hyung he got certain privileges and honor only they can wish to have. Having met Luhan and Sehun only when they have transferred in Jeju, creating a constant connection with them.

Catching up with his child, Chanyeol scoops him up and carries him in his arms while planting kisses all over his face that causes the beautiful sounds of a child’s laughter to ring out. “Dad stop it, it tickles!” Chanhyun tries to stop his dad.

“Whyyyy~” Chanyeol whines back to Chanhyun making him laugh more. The other two was just watching this cute exchange between the father and son duo a few steps behind them.

Upon entering the hotel, the group immediately went to the re
