Chapter 5

It was another busy morning for him. The sun already shone on the east, brightened his flat with its radiant warm light. He cut the bread in front of him into smaller pieces as he applied some butter on it. He used some choc chips at the top. 

A small figure walked out from their bedroom with hands still rubbing his sleepy eyes. He walked to his umma’s direction and then hugged Jaejoong from behind. 

“Hyoobin ah,” Jaejoong called,” You woke up by yourself? You’ve become a big boy now.”

Hyoobin smiled as he pecked his umma’s right cheek and then listened to Jaejoong’s direction to wait for their breakfast. He got into his children dining chair as he drank half of his milk, which Jaejoong had prepared. It was chocolate and the boy loved anything his umma made for him.

“Breakfast done!” Jaejoong cheered as he took the bread into the dining table. Hyoobin took one piece and he ate it happily. Jaejoong caressed his son hair and told him to eat much.

“Umma…” Hyoobin called and some choc chips were on his lips corner,” Will Yoochun ajusshi come here again?”

“Why do you want him to come?” Jaejoong asked as he wiped Hyoobin’s mouth. 

“Because Hyoobin likes Yoochun ajusshi,” the boy spoke,” He’s nice!”

Jaejoong just smiled; it was ironic, Jaejoong must admit but he couldn’t tell Hyoobin that Yoochun was actually his father. He was afraid it would hurt the boy. He was afraid Yoochun would hurt the innocent boy.

“Hyoobin ah, since today is Sunday, how about going somewhere nice with umma?” Jaejoong changed the topic as the boy cheered and told his umma he would take a quick bath then changed to his Micky Mouse hoodie, which Jaejoong brought for him as birthday present last year.

He stared at a door in front of him. He hesitated to press the bell but he wanted to find out about the truth so much. He sighed as he pulled his hand back, he just needed to press the freaking bell, damn it.

That was when the door suddenly opened, revealing Jaejoong with Hyoobin holding hand; like they’re going somewhere.

“Yoochun ajusshi!” Hyoobin cheered as he ran to Yoochun’s side and hugged him. Yoochun couldn’t help but melted by such cuteness. Moreover, he knew that Hyoobin was his son.

“Yoochun, what are you doing here?” Jaejoong was indeed surprised.

“I…I …” Yoochun didn’t know what he should say.

“Ajusshi! I and umma are going somewhere nice, will you come with us?” Hyoobin asked with his big puppy eyes. Yoochun knew the son got it from his umma.

“Sure, if your umma allows it,” Yoochun looked at Jaejoong In the eyes. He swore he was afraid Jaejoong would stare at him coldly. But he was wrong; Jaejoong was smiling as he nodded.

“Umma! Look there!” Hyoobin pointed at a big roller coaster attraction,” Hyoobin wants to ride it!”

“But Hyoobin isn’t big enough to ride it,” Jaejoong explained,” Let’s ride the smaller one, OK?”

Hyoobin pouted as Yoochun chuckled and he told himself he did a right decision to bring the cute boy to a theme park. It was Hyoobin’s first time to go to such a place.

“Since Hyoobin can’t ride it, will umma and Yoochun ajusshi ride it for me?” Hyoobin used his puppy eyes as the two adults couldn’t say no. 

Jaejoong sighed as he and Yoochun entered the queue. It didn’t take long since not many people were brave enough to play such an attraction. Hyoobin was sitting comfortably in the nearest bench as he eyeing his umma and his ajusshi.

“Jae, you don’t need to ride this if you don’t want to,” Yoochun whispered as the matter of fact he knew Jaejoong was afraid of height.

“Just shut up,” Jaejoong cursed as he could feel he began to tremble. No way could he reject his son innocent plea. He must do this!

Meanwhile, Yoochun had his own entertainment. He could see that Jaejoong was definitely scared but he couldn’t bring himself to tease the poor man. Yoochun decided to calm Jaejoong down.

“It’s OK, just close your eyes if you’re afraid,” Yoochun spoke as he helped Jaejoong got into the coaster,” I’m right beside you…”

“…Yeah,” Jaejoong managed to say as he fixed his seatbelt. 

It didn’t take long till the coaster departed and Hyoobin got up from his seat, in excited face. He could see his umma was talking to Yoochun and both of them looked just right for each other. Hyoobin suddenly felt sad, he somehow hoped that his appa was there. He even hoped that Yoochun would be his appa from now on.

Tears started to crawl into the poor boy’s cheek. He was crying and wiping his tears like a lost child. That was when a security walked near him and asked what was wrong.

“Appa….appa…left me…” Hyoobin cried and mumbled incoherently. The boy was just too overwhelming with his feeling till he didn’t realize the security took him. He was brought to care center since the security thought he was lost.

Meanwhile, two adults were screaming like a mad man as the coaster took them. Jaejoong was definitely afraid. He’s freaking scared till closing his eyes didn’t make anything better. He couldn’t help but to hold Yoochun’s hand, which next to his seat. 

Yoochun felt somehow happy as he held Jaejoong’s palm tighter. He screamed again, enjoying the sensation the coaster gave him. Yoochun definitely loved this attraction.

Finished with the crazy riding, Jaejoong managed to get out from the attraction as he leaned on Yoochun’s shoulder. He was way too dizzy to walk by himself.

“That’s amazing,” Yoochun commented,” It’s a shame you can’t take height…”

“Yeah, right,” Jaejoong somehow agreed as he felt an urge to puke,” Where’s Hyoobin?”

“He’s right ther---“ Yoochun stopped. Hyoobin was gone from the bench! 

“Hyoo---urrrb!” Jaejoong couldn’t hold it anymore, he rushed to the nearest trashcan as he was busy getting his breakfast out. Yoochun helped the poor man by giving some massage to his neck and his eyes were searching for Hyoobin.

“Yoochun…Where’s Hyoobin?” Jaejoong asked as he wiped his lips with the tissue he got from Yoochun. The other man didn’t answer.

“Jae…” Yoochun was about to break the news that he couldn’t find Hyoobin but then a speaker near them vibrated, announcing a lost boy, six years old, and named Kim Hyoobin.

“WHAT?!” Jaejoong shouted as he pulled Yoochun’s hand, leading the way to the care center. Yoochun swore Jaejoong’s eyes showed the man would eat him alive if anything happened to his son; it was Yoochun’s idea to go to the theme park after all.
