"Henry come on, please? Just one more bite. For me?" Hyukjae pleaded at the now frowning Henry. He sighed in defeat as he put down the spoon he is currently holding. They're now back at Hyukjae's place feeding Henry his dinner. Donghae texted him that he will be coming home late and apologized for the delay. He just said that it's fine and he's just thankful that Henry's with him and not at the daycare center. And as promised, Hyukjae's the one who cooked their dinner and made different vegetable dishes. Key, who is eating with Henry, also sighed as he eyed the delicious and colorful dishes but are obviously vegetables in front of them. He even as a college student hates vegetable, how much more would a little kid? He looked at Henry's half-empty plate and at the kid. If his brother only let him cook their dinner then they definitely won't eat this kind of meal.

"Hyung..."

"What." Hyukjae answered, not in a questionable manner since he knows what's on his dongsaeng's mind.

"What's with the sudden menu for dinner?"

"It's decided that I will be the one that would arrange Henry's dinner so, there." Key eyed him like he'd grown a new head making him lift his brow.

"What?"

"You do realize that you're feeding a 4year old kid right?" His dongsaeng asked him as he eyed the frowning Henry beside him.

"Yes and what's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong with that?! Hyung! How can you expect him to eat these kinds of food? Even I don't like these! Meat! That's what we want! Right Henry?" He exclaimed making the now pouting mochi jumped a little bit on his outburst but nonetheless nodded.

Hyukjae frowned as he looked at the dishes. What's wrong with feeding them these foods? As far as he knows, you should have your child eat them since kids are at their growing age and you must watch their diet since they're fond of eating junk foods. Key, upon noticing the confused face of his brother sighed. He'll really never understand this weird brother of his.

"Let's settle everything this way. I'll keep these dishes in the fridge and cook some meat for all of us okay?" He said in a diplomatic way but just received a glare from his brother.

"Henry ate a large burger for lunch. He might get indigestion if he'll still eat meat for dinner." Hyukjae reasoned out but Key didn't bother paying attention to him. He frowned deeper because of the lack of response and stood up.

"Kibum." Key stopped when he heard him called him by his real name. It only means that he's serious. He slowly turned around and went back to his seat when he saw his brother wearing a serious face.

Awkward silence filled the place with the two brothers staring intently at each other. Henry on the other hand, just looked innocently at them as he tried hard to chew and swallow the vegetables down his throat. He can already sense the tension and he doesn't want to add fuel to the fire by not eating his meal. He can only pray for a distraction right now.

And as if Henry's silent prayers were answered, they heard the door opened and, knowing that it's his uncle, he excused himself and excitedly went to welcome his handsome daddy.

"Daddy Hae!!" He exclaimed as he ran and jumped at the surprised Donghae.

"Mochi! I never thought you missed me this much." The older commented with a chuckle at his now pouting nephew. He patted his head and slowly put him down and removed his coat. He noticed that the whole place was quiet so he turned to face the still pouting Henry.

"Where is everybody?"

"We're at the dining room eating out dinner. Daddy Hae? Can I eat meat for dinner instead of vegetables? I don't like them and so is Key hyung." He requested while pouting and sporting his famous puppy eyes which of course were taught by Donghae himself. He said to use this whenever he wants something really bad but he's pertaining to his stubborn father Siwon and not him. Donghae groaned loudly at the view. So this is how it feels like when someone's using the weapon you taught them yourself against you. But, he promised Hyukjae that their kid's dinner will be done by him. Wait. Vegetables? What is Henry talking about?

With these thoughts, he made his way towards the dining room and saw the two brothers on their very brotherly situation. He blinked a few times in confusion until his gaze darted to the foods. There he saw several vegetable dishes. Vegetables and only vegetables, clearly no meat involved. He gulped. How can a person eat this? Although he's more of a fan of seafood than meat, he himself will request for meat rather than to eat these.

"Hyukkie?" The two snapped from their staring contest to look at the owner of that voice. Key's face suddenly lit up when he saw Donghae and the latter shivered when he saw that blinding smile on the diva's face. He's sensing something's gonna happen and he's greatly involved in it.

"Brother-in-law! You're back! Thank goodness." Key exclaimed as he stood up and ran to Donghae's side. He cautiously stared at Key who's now beaming at him.

"Only you can help me and Henry. Please tell this stupid brother of mine that we're having a proper meal for dinner. And for proper I mean balanced. With vegetables, meat and blah blah blah." Key said in a loud voice making sure Hyukjae heard him whose ears are now going red. Although Donghae can't tell if it's from embarrassment or anger.

"Uhm.." He's speechless. He obviously doesn't know what to do or say since he had given his word to Hyukjae already and he's not the type of person who breaks his promise. A true man knows how to keep his words. That's his belief.

"Come on hyung please? Henry and I are starving! We need to eat!" The diva whined as he stomped his feet stubbornly and gripped Donghae's arm tightly. The brunette just sighed as he looked at the quiet blonde and pouting mochi on his side.

<><><><><><><><><>

Smell of grilled foods filled their senses as Henry and Key entered a restaurant near their place with holding hands, excitement and hunger shining in their eyes. Yes, you can now see hunger in them since they felt that they've just done some fasting with Hyukjae. And speaking of the latter, he's tailing behind an apologetic Donghae with a cute pout on his plump lips.

"Hyung stop with that pout or I'll ask Donghae hyung to kiss that away." Key commented as he saw his brother while settling on their own table. Although that offer was quite tempting for the blonde, he just pursed his lips in silence. He can get that kiss anytime he wants anyway, both Hyukjae and Donghae thought who blushed at the same time.

"Meat! Meat! We're going to eat meat!!" The two kids sang with their loud out of tune voices earning few amused stares towards their tables. Donghae swear he even heard someone said 'Their family is so cute! The eldest son looks a lot like the mother!'. Is she pertaining to Hyukjae and Key? But of course they'll be look alike since they're brothers right?

Wait.

Eldest son?

Mother?

That means....

The fish blushed at realization. They think they're a family with Hyukjae obviously as the mother and he as the father with these two as their kids! But are they blind or what? Can't they see that Hyukjae's a guy? Well, although he loves the idea of that but seriously?

He subtly looked at Hyukjae who's now starting to grill the meat. Yes we all know that he's just using that as an excuse to check Hyukjae out. And now he knows why. The blonde's practically blooming and shining he even beat the baby sunshine in Teletubbies. His white pale skin is even accented with his dark pink polo shirt with the all the buttons undone giving Donghae a good view of his collarbone. And since he's sitting next to him, he darted his eyes to the dark blue skinny jeans that's hugging his lower limbs very well.

He's still looking at the blonde beside him when he felt someone lightly kicked him under. He snapped from his fanboying moment to look at a grinning Key. He tilted his head to the side, wondering why he's looking like that.

"Done drooling over my brother? I seriously don't know how he's not melted by now with that stare of yours." Key said like it's a normal thing. The brunette looked once again at Hyukjae and heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed he's into cooking the meat so much that he's unaware of their conversation right now. He stared back at Key who just smiled innocently at him making him smile and shook his head.

"Let's just eat diva Key."

"Mochi! One piece at a time! You're gonna choke if you'll eat like that." Hyukjae nagged after he saw Henry cutely stuffing his already chubby cheeks with meat making it even more puffed. The small kid looked innocently at him as he chewed slowly. Key chuckled at his brother and decided to help him by passing him a glass of soda. They need this drink to avoid indigestion from eating meat to which Hyukjae accepted gratefully. Good thing is that their table is round so the blonde was able to feed Henry without leaving Donghae's side.

The brunette gazed at his three companions and smiled gently. Hyukjae really looks like a mom as he feed Henry with Key occasionally teasing the small kid by fake stealing his food to which their baby will whine and his hyung will nag at him. He bet it will be perfect if they could always do this, especially if Hyukjae remembers everything, even their promise to one another. A hint of sadness flicked in his eyes with the thought. No. He must not force the blonde about it or else he'll just ruin the happy mood. All he did was wait his entire life, a little bit more won't hurt right? Besides, his Hyukkie is very much willing to remember everything. That is enough for him to hold on.

Burp!

All of them laughed when Henry burped so loud you wouldn't think he's a kid and just grinned innocently at them. They're now walking on the streets, deciding that it's still early to go home and the city lights are too beautiful to be ignored. The wind was starting to get a bit chilly so the streets are less crowded enabling them to walk in peace. With Henry's little hand clutched to Key's the two walk ahead of the two adults admiring the bright lights and random products displayed inside the shops they're passing by.

"Thank you."

Hyukjae whose eyes are focused on his brother and baby with a smile graced on his lips looked confusedly at Donghae. The latter, his gaze also directed at the two youngsters, turned to face him and smiled gently. He looked down, took Hyukjae's hand and intertwined it with his own. The blonde blushed lightly but didn't pull his hands away for he found Donghae's warmth radiating from his hand comfortable and securing. They both slowened their pace, enjoying their moment together and silently praying that time will stop for this feels to good to be true. 

"Thank you for letting them eat what they want especially Mochi especially when I know you're just extremely worried about his health." The brunette explained further after minutes of comfortable silence. Hyukjae smiled and started slightly swaying their hands like a little child. He felt the other's hold on his hand tightened and feeling all giddy inside, he can't help but giggle a little. This action surprised Donghae although he did nothing and just admire the adorable guy beside him.

"I understand them so no worries. Besides, I already felt guilty a while ago since I felt like I'm putting them in a hunger strike." The blonde explained with a cute pout. Donghae saw it and lost his control. He pulled Hyukjae with his hand and held his waist with the other and placed a firm kiss on his plump lips with his eyes closed. The older widened his eyes but closed them right after and relaxed through the kiss. It lasted for just a few seconds but for them, it felt like ages, like everything happened in slow motion. They loved every millisecond of it, pouring all the love they have hidden for each other and felt happy when they sensed that the action was mutual.

Key and Henry gasped silently when they saw the two, afraid that they will ruin such moment. The hyung between the two winked at the baby who beamed at him and pulled out his phone, capturing the moment with its background of bright streetlights and serene ambience adding such effect to the picture. 

Donghae finally pulled away and the two of them felt disappointed but didn't show it. Both blushed and awkwardly looked away from each other although the brunette's hold on the other was still strong, only their faces are away from each other.

"Umm H-Hae?"

"Y-Yeah?"

"Uhm m-my w-waist." Hyukjae stuttered and when realization hit the other he immediately dropped his hands to his side. Donghae cleared his throat in embarrassment as he tried to calm his heart by looking anywhere but Hyukjae. The latter on the other hand, started counting strawberries inside his mind to calm himself as he unconsciously fanned his face with his hands, a habit he usually do whenever he's nervous or embarrassed.

Achoo!

"Omo Mochi are you cold already? Do you want to go home now?" Key worriedly asked as he crouched to the kid's level and wiped Henry's nose with his handkerchief. Hyukjae and Donghae whipped their head towards Henry in worry and the latter took this as an opportunity to break the tensed atmosphere between them by grabbing Hyukjae's wrist and jogging his way towards Key and Henry which were surprisingly a bit far already from them.

When they reached them, Hyukjae surprisingly pulled a red scarf from his bag and wrapped it securely around Henry's neck, reflecting the color on the kid's cheeks making him look so adorable that the three guys around him can't help but fanboy over him. The blonde carried him in his arms and hug him tight to give him some warmth. It is never good for a child to get sick especially with this kind of weather. Henry, loving the attention, smiled making his eyes almost disappear as he wrapped his chubby arms around Hyukjae's neck and snuggled on his neck. He looked at Donghae and saw his uncle slightly pouting at them. He chuckled and stuck out his tongue on his childish daddy and returned to snuggling. Donghae widened his eyes in surprise but smiled nonetheless. Okay he admits that he's jealous at Henry right now. He puffed his cheeks. Oh come on as if he can be carried by Hyukjae like that. His idea's just plain ridiculous he can't help but chuckle.

"Hyung are you okay?" Donghae looked up to see three pairs of eyes looking weirdly at him. He cleared his throat in shame and just nodded.

"Y-Yeah I just, thought of something so uhm, let's go home?"

<><><><><><><>

"Ah!! I'm so full I think I gained a few pounds with that meal." Key commented as he lazily laid on the couch as he searched for any interesting show on television. Hyukjae smiled as he put the now sleeping Henry on top of Key's tummy. His brother grunted because of the sudden weight but smiled a gentle one when he saw how angelic the chubby child on his stomach is. Hyukjae left them to follow Donghae inside the dining room and saw him drinking coffee with two cups in hand. The latter smiled when he saw him and handed him the other cup. He muttered a small thank you as they settled on the high stools. Both of them stayed silent, both are absorbed in their own thoughts.

Donghae glanced at the silent blonde beside him as he slowly sipped on his coffee and took notice of his looks. His breath slightly hitched and blushed. How can Hyukjae look very beautiful even with just drinking coffee?! He silently cursed inside his mind on how Hyukjae can make him crazy like this. He uncomfortably shifted his gaze as he tried to calm his rapid heartbeat. A distraction would be of great help right now. Then it clicked him. The vacation! He hasn't told the blonde about it yet! So, unwillingly, he turned his stool around and finally faced Hyukjae who was still enjoying his cup of coffee like it's the tastiest drink in the whole world. But then in just a snap, he was worried when he saw that the smile was replaced with a slight frown. 

Hyukjae smiled absentmindedly as he sipped on his coffee, forgetting for a fact that Donghae's just beside him. This is what usually happens when he's overwhelmed. He's feeling so high he feels like he's in his own world and won't care to anyone or anything around him for a moment. So this is how it feels to be kissed. Like a romantic kiss and not just a peck. Donghae's lips tasted so sweet he can practically kiss him forever. He slightly blushed and bit his bottom lip. He really did enjoy that kiss and honestly speaking, he wants to do it again. And when he felt his strong arms around him, he felt really safe as if no one or nothing can harm him. But wait a minute. So if Donghae kissed him then is the feeling mutual? Like how he felt it once their lips touched? That undeniably strong connection between them like they're bound to be together? He can only smile and wish for everything to be real. Although this is the first time he fell in love, something in him is actually hinting him that he once felt this attraction already. But then again, he doesn't know what it is. He put his cup down and sighed. No he can't let this thoughts trouble him in the middle of his happy moment. He's already getting there. Just a little bit more and he's sure he'll remember everything.

He was so into his thoughts that he didn't notice Donghae facing him and now looking worriedly at him.

"Hyukkie are you alright?" He was surprised with Donghae's voice and turned to his side only to gasp when he realized the close proximity between them. He blushed deep red when his eyes darted down to Donghae's thin lips and suddenly remembered the kiss they shared. He awkwardly cleared his throat and nodded as he slowly turned his face away.

"A-Ah ne. W-What is it?" He asked and smiled apologetically when he saw the worried look on Donghae's face. The latter finally smiled back when he noted that the other is fine and was just immersed in his own thoughts to frown like that.

"A while ago I received a mail from my brother telling me that he'll come here to Korea next week to fetch Henry." Hyukjae was stunned with what he heard. Henry's leaving in a week? Why so fast? He's still enjoying his time with him and he seriously doesn't want him to go. He feels like a real parent whenever he's with the kid and in just a short period of time, he was already attached to his baby. Besides, he still has many plans for their bonding together. Donghae on the other expected this already. He had seen the bond of his nephew and friend and he knows it will be really hard for Hyukjae to be away from the child. He placed his hand on top of Hyukjae's and smiled reassuringly.

"Don't worry. I already have a plan on what to do this weekend. You're free for two days right?" He asked with a grin and the other, although confused, nodded at him.

"We're going on a trip. A trip to Mokpo." He announced and Hyukjae's eyes widened for a moment and smiled immediately. Vacation!! He can't wait to go to Mokpo! He remembered that Donghae once said that he's actually from Mokpo so being the city guy, he is really excited to experience the life on the country side. Oh how he wishes tomorrow will be weekend already.

Donghae stared at Hyukjae with a smile on his face, proud that somehow his plan did bring a smile on his lips making him even more angelic-like. Everything's planned already and he'll make sure nothing will go wrong. The four of them will just have fun, fun, and more fun.
