“I’m home” Seungcheol finally came home when the clock hit 11pm

“Oh finally” Jihoon looked up from his laptop for a moment before turned back his focus to the screen in front of him

“Yeah… finally, today’s meeting was hell. What are you doing anyway? Preparing for lecture tomorrow?” Seungcheol went closer to Jihoon bend down to kiss the younger before join him on the sofa

“Almost done anyway, so did you solve the problem already or do I need to be a widow for longer?” Jihoon teased Seungcheol “Don’t beat yourself over it, it’s not even your fault that you hired those rats inside” Jihoon saved his file, turned off his laptop and set it aside made sure his focus was on Seungcheol 100% as that was what the older needed at that time

“I know, it’s just sometimes when the responsibility is too high you just can’t forget that those rats were part of you and you trusted them” Seungcheol sighed, rested his head on Jihoon’s thigh when the latter offered the space

“Just incase you forgotten but you have a lot of company which means a lot of employees inside. You just can’t blame yourself over each of them you will grow old faster and die faster. I’m not ready yet to be the real ‘widow’” Seungcheol chuckled listening to what Jihoon said

“You are really my mood maker baby” Seungcheol grinned

“Yeah yeah, you should write it on your thick schedule book and open it whenever you feel that I’m more annoying than Seungkwan” Jihoon rolled his eyes

“I never think that you are annoying baby” Seungcheol laughed when Jihoon just rolled his eyes “Samuel?” Seungcheol asked changing the topic

“Of course sleeping, why do you think 3 years old boy still awake in this timing?” Jihoon sighed suddenly remember about their son “He misses you” Jihoon didn’t want to say that because he knew how much Seungcheol  would beat himself over it, especially Seungcheol really head over heels about their one and only son. Jihoon caressed Seungcheol’s hair gently when he saw how gloomy his husband was “It’s alright he is a smart boy he knows you have important thing to be taken care of lately”

“Doesn’t sound a good excuse to cancel our supposed to be family trip last week and missed to play with him lately, God I feel really terrible I haven’t even talk to him for the past three days” Seungcheol suddenly sat up and rubbed his tired eyes

“He is still sleeping when you go out and he is already sleeping when you come home what do you expect? Come on Cheol, you can make up for it next week remember that you are not alone in this” Jihoon stood up bend down to kiss Seungcheol’s cheeks “Now go bathe, it’s already late, don’t you dare to step up on our bed without wash first just like yesterday” Jihoon was smiling but the threatening tone made Seungcheol stood up immediately ran to their bathroom

Jihoon was very sure he was on Seungcheol’s embrace before he slept but suddenly he felt something heavy pressing on his chest. With the help of moonlight that night shone through his window in his shared bedroom with Seungcheol, Jihoon opened his eyes and saw a big doe eyes staring at him

“Sammy?” Jihoon whispered carefully didn’t want to wake Seungcheol, knew the older needed enough rest

“Daddy” Samuel pouted

“What’s wrong baby? When did you come in?” Jihoon caressed Samuel’s hair while his son was lying down on top of his body

“I had nightmare” Samuel confessed with eyes filled with tears, it broke Jihoon’s heart to see his son on that condition
“did you? It’s alright, it’s just nightmare, I’m here now” Jihoon hugged Samuel and kissed both of his eyes “Want to share with me the dream?”

“I dreamt of appa, I dreamt he left us” Jihoon left speechless with what Samuel told him, he didn’t expect that the lack of Seungcheol’s presence lately could affect Samuel that much “He’s not going to leave us right daddy?” Jihoon didn’t say anything but lifted up Samuel so now they both in sitting position facing Seungcheol

“Look, appa is just there, breathing fine, and I promise you tomorrow when you awake he will still be here” Jihoon will make sure Seungcheol do, no matter what it takes he could just call Seungkwan to give few hours off for his husband knew Seungkwan really adore Samuel too. Jihoon smiled when Samuel nodded understood what he meant

“Is appa tired?” Samuel asked innocently

“he is baby, but he’s working for you, for us and that’s why you need to support him so he can work better” Jihoon grinned when Samuel nodded, the kid was just way too smart, smarter than those kids with same age with him “Go back to sleep, it’s way past your bed time, or do you want to drink milk first before you sleep?”

“It’s ok, I just want to sleep with you two can I daddy?” Samuel looked up and of course Jihoon couldn’t say no, his son inherited Seungcheol’s big puppy eyes that sadly Jihoon couldn’t resist. Jihoon sang a soft lullaby while patting Samuel’s back gently and when the 3 years old boy finally asleep Jihoon laid him down in between him and Seungcheol, Jihoon whispered a good night and closed his eyes beside the two most important person in his world

“Sammy wake upppp sunshine is already shining outside although not as bright as your daddy but still wake upppp” Seungcheol laughed when Jihoon hit him, his laughed changed to a big smile when finally Samuel opened up his eyes after noisy bickering between Seungcheol and Jihoon heard that morning “Morning my sunshine, had a good sleep yesterday?” Seungcheol winked and laughed when suddenly Samuel stood up and launched himself on Seungcheol’s embrace “Aigoo my big baby, what if your daddy jealous?”

“Appa no work?” Samuel asked happily ignored what Seungcheol said

“Appa has work, but I can go later thanks to the power of your daddy threatening uncle Seungkwan early in the morning” Seungcheol suddenly wanted to laugh again remember what Jihoon did this morning “But appa promise I will come home early today and play with you, let’s go eat ice cream later in the afternoon ok?” before Samuel could say anything Jihoon already cut him off

“No ice cream until next week, Samuel just recovered from cold last week ok” Jihoon said before he stood up from the bed

“Then we can just go, two of us without daddy” Seungcheol whispered but could be heard clearly by the younger

“No means no, even behind my back. Now two of you, go shower before the breakfast gets cold”

“Appa will bathe me? Can I bring my ducks along?” Samuel asked excitedly

“Anything you want baby” Seungcheol smiled when Samuel jumped down from his lap and ran to his room “He’s so adorable” Seungcheol grinned fondly

“He is” Jihoon couldn’t help but smiled proudly too

“Say Ji”

“Huh?”

“How about we make little brother for Samuel?” Seungcheol wiggled his eyes playfully

“YA ERT!”
