whispers on the pillow
The Innocent Child
“I will go after her.” Xiumin pointed towards the door and abruptly left the scene. He ran so that he could catch up with Seohyun.
Luhan still on the floor, cried out and was approached by Jessica and Kris. “Luhan, don’t be like this... Wipe all your tears and here,” Kris coaxed him with his almost cracking voice, he showed Joohan to Luhan, which sobbing in Kris’ arm. “Take a look at your son... isn’t he like you? No?”
Jessica wiped Joohan’s tears off his face as well as his mucous with a tissue. Luhan looked up and gazed at his son with his teary eyes, tried to reach out to Joohan’s small face. At first Joohan kind of scared when Luhan tried to touch him but seeing Luhan crying even more made him softened.
“Joohan-ah, this samchon, is Joohan’s appa. Joohan’s real appa.” Jessica slowly revealed the real situation to the little boy. She’s scared that he might unable to accept it in one-go. “Not like Kris Appa, Minseok Appa or Sehun Appa. No. This Appa was the one who make Joohan came into this world.” Jessica whispered to his ear and caressed his hair gently. Joohan only nodded his head. Jessica was unsure whether he’s understood the whole situation or not.
“This Appa love Joohan’s Omma so much. Joohan love Omma right?” she asked him again, and again, he nodded his head. As soon as he heard the word of mother, he’s began to cry again.
“Joohan want Omma...” tears strolled down on his face slowly, like a never ending stream. He tugged Kris’ hand pitifully.
“Pa-pa is here Joo-Joohan-ah...” Luhan softly called out for him, for the first time in his life, as well as in Joohan’s life. Luhan reached out for his hand but he turned his head away from Luhan.
“Little prince, don’t be like this... This is your Papa...” Kris called out his favourite nickname and Joohan retrieved his head from Kris’ shoulder. He turned around and stared at Luhan.
He reached out his small hand and cupped Luhan’s face. Then he wiped Luhan’s tears that remained on his cheeks and a small smile plastered on his cute face. “Please... Don’t cry...”
Luhan shook his head and pulled him into his embrace.
My son...
Joohan was sitting on Jessica’s lap, hugged her tightly even he’s already fallen asleep. Jessica patted his back softly while lulled him to sleep. His remaining tears still there, on his face. Luhan only eyeing them as he stood by the window, looked at Joohan’s serene face, somehow, his heart hurt because he brought so much pain towards him and Seohyun. He covered his face using his both hands and sighed heavily. He took a deep breath before walk towards Jessica who laid Joohan on a bed.
“He’s asleep. You can take him from here.” Jessica stood straight and tapped Luhan’s shoulder, relaying some strength to him. He nodded his head and cracked a small smile.
“Thank you noona. For letting us both sleep here. Thank you for everything.” He bowed his head. He’s too tired. He pulled the duvet and covered Joohan’s small body, so he won’t get cold.
“I’m doing this because Joohan is my child too. Don’t ever give up. Okay?” Jessica squeezed his shoulder and then walked out from that room. Luhan once again, sighed for countless times.
He sat on the edge of the bed, gazing lovingly to Joohan’s calm face when he is in his deep sleep. He looks like his miniature. His eyes, nose and even lips, Joohan got all of his genes. Except for his baby fat cheeks which he’s inherited it from his mother. He’s really regret that he didn’t even aware the existence of his own children.
Luhan traced his finger on Joohan’s lips, made the young boy stirred in his sleep, making Luhan giggled at his adorableness. How could he’s unaware of this little angel is his?
