also since there were series of Vlives aired, and one of them was the foreign swagger squad. Can you imagine me squealing like super hard because hello, Johnny and Ten with Mark and ex-husband Jaehyun are eating T.T my heart was flipping, I only needed Lucas and we’re just a step away from making this fanfic into a reality.
Just kidding ^^
Belated Happy Birthday Renjunnie!!

 After the pictures were taken and some of the parents exchanging contact details (Taeil had apparently offered Sicheng his  speech therapy services) Jaehyun beamed a smile at Doyoung. 

“Do you need a ride?” Jaehyun asked and Doyoung shook his head.

“I brought my car.” Doyoung replied and JAehyun’s smile faltered a bit. “I’ll just follow you.” Doyoung assured him.

“I am not really sure about that.” Jeahyun mused.

‘Appa I am hungry!” Donghyuck pouted and grabbed Jaehyun’s hand.

“Donghyuck, you’re taking this way seriously.” Doyoung reprimanded the boy.

‘Oh, it’s okay, I’ll take Donghyuck then and you take Jeno.” Jaehyun smiled and walked towards the exit. ‘Let’s meet at the 0mile, it’s a great family restaurant.” Jaehyun waved and led Donghyuck towards his car. Doyoung looked at Jeno and the boy looked back at him.

“Guess you’re riding with me.” Doyoung smiled and Jeno mirrored it.

Jaehyun had strapped down the five year old in the back seat and soon was driving carefully.

“You’re really handsome.” Donghyuck expressed and Jaehyun chuckled.

“I get that a lot.” Jaehyun responded.

“Do you think appa is handsome too?” Donghyuck asked and Jaehyun grinned as he took a left turn.

‘he is cute.” Jaehyun replied.

“cute enough to be a husband?” Donghyuck asked and Jaehyun was not sure if he should answer that or not. “Naera omma has mommy Chelsea already, I want Doyoung appa to have a partner as well.” Donghyuck pouted and Jaehyun raised a brow.

‘Naera omma? Mommy Chelsea?” Jaehyun asked and Donghyuck nodded.

“Yeah Naera omma and Mommy Chelsea.” Donghyuck confirmed. “Does Jeno have a mommy too?” Donghyuck asked and Jaehyun gripped the steering wheel tighter.

“Oh no he doesn’t have.” Jaehyun replied and Donghyuck smiled. 

“Doyoung appa can be his mommy!” Donghyuck giggled. “You can be my appa.” The kid just had a master plan and Jaehyun wasn’t sure if he liked it or not; 80% sure he was liking the idea.

--- 

Doyoung had strapped the little kid in the backseat and checked it thrice before he boarded the driver’s seat and drove off. Doyoung observed the kid and he was calm and smiling like he had no worries about life; too precious to taint.

“You have a wonderful smile Jeno.” Doyoung said and Jeno smiled wider.

“Thank you…” Jeno was hesistant on what to call Doyoung.

“Samchon. Doyoung Samchon is fine.” Soyoung said and Jeno nodded.

“Thank you Doyoung Samchon.” Jeno chirped. “You take great pictures samchon.” Jeno remarked and Doyoung thanked him.

“I work as a photographer; it’s both my job and my passion.” Doyoung smiled, quite happy to share his love for photography.

“That’s so awesome. You take lots of pictures and make people smile.” Jeno blurted out and that’s one way to put it, he makes people smile even if forced. “I hope you can make my appa smile too.” Jeno said a bit gloomy and Doyoung cocked his head to the side.

“Is your appa sad Jeno?” Doyoung inquired and Jeno nodded.

‘He doesn’t tell me but he looks tired sometimes and when go out he would look at families like he would want that.” Jeno said and Doyoung frowned, a kid can tell his father’s longing.

“a lot of people like your appa.” Doyoung tried to ease the child’s worries.

“They only like appa because he’s handsome.” Jeno huffed. “They can’t even bother to ask if I was okay or not. Uncle Johnny and Taeyong Samchon does.” Jeno replied and that was something that bothered Doyoung. “Can you make Appa smile Doyoung samchon?” Jeno looked at him through the rear view mirror and Doyougn smiled.

‘I’d like to try if you want me to and if you’re okay with Donghyuck as your brother.” Doyoung replied and Jeno beamed his widest.

“Donghyuck and I goof around a lot but he’s okay as a brother I guess, not as cool as Mark hyung though.” Jeno answered and Doyoung may have skipped a heartbeat at the proposition of this young boy.


--- 

Jaehyun and Donghyuck were already seated in a booth when Doyoung and Jeno arrived; Jeno instantly running to Jaehyun to hug his father while Donghyuck scooted over so his father can sit down. 

“Have you ordered?” Doyoung asked and Jaehyun shook his head.

“Donghyuck wanted to wait for you.” Jaehyun informed him

‘That’s a first.” Doyoung laughed making Donghyuck glare at his father and pout.

“Appa, can we play?” Jeno asked as he pointed to the play area with ball pit and slides. Jaehyun looked at the area then to Doyoung who nodded before giving his go signal to the kid. 

Jeno was super happy and Donghyuck joined him as they tried to out run one another. Jaehyun chuckled seeing his son have so much fun, it’s rare that they had playmates over and mostly it was Mark and Jaemin.

“Did Donghyuck gave you trouble?” Doyoung inquired and Jaehyun shook his head.

“Something bothered me though, He told me he has Naera omma and Mommy Chelsea.” Jaehyun said.

“ah, he already told you.” Doyoung smiled as he called a waiter to take their orders. They ordered first and when the waiter left, Doyoung sighed.

“Well, our family is quite a complicated mess.” Doyoung started and Jaehyun raised a brow. “The thing is, Naera and I was on an arranged marriage and it didn’t work out because aside from being forced into each other, we were both gay, lesbian in her case.” Doyoung said and Jaehyun was caught by surprise at the straightforwardness of Doyoung, no wonder Donghyuck is one too. “So we did not love each other, couldn’t and wouldn’t except for the platonic one, so we decided that it will never gonna work out but Naera decided to bear a child for me. Donghyuck is our legal son and we both love him. The divorce was a smart choice, rather than cheating on each other.” Doyoung said and the waiter came back setting a pitcher of iced tea and water. 

“We have open communication and Naera has all the rights to visit Donghyuck. We never hid this to Donghyuck, it’s unfair for the child to hate one of his parents. Chelsea is Naera’s current partner and are planning to get married soon.” Doyoung smiled. “And our daughter Sora is celebrating her second birthday soon as well.” Doyoung finished.

‘You have a daughter?” Jaehyun was surprised.

“Yeah, they wanted a child of their own and when they told me, I willingly offered to be the donor, It’s the least I could do for Naera for giving me a child of my own.” Doyoung shrugged.

“That’s amiable, you are a good person.” Jaehyun remarked making Doyoung laugh.

“Thank you I guess.” Doyoung replied. “Jeno told me about you being sad.” Doyoung said and Jaehyun looked at him with a raised brow. “Kids are sensitive enough, we don’t give enough credit.” Doyoung shrugged and JAehyun nodded.

‘It’s a bit frustrating to get hit on because people find me handsome. My ex-girlfriend cheated on me and that was a real heartbreak.” Jaehyun confessed. 

‘I’m sorry.” Doyoung apologized, of course he had been cheated on.

“I developed trust issues and then Jeno became my world.” Jaehyun replied and Doyoung nodded.

“That’s one way to put it.” Doyougn replied.

“What did Jeno tell you exactly?” Jaehyun asked.

‘He said, I hope you can make my appa smile.” Doyoung replied and Jaehyun became flustered. 

‘How can my son say that, it’s not like we’ve know each other for a long time.” Jaehyun blurted out and Doyoung laughed at that.

“Are you straight Jaehyun?” Doyoung asked and Jaehyun looked at Doyoung and blinked.

“well I think I was.” Jaehyun replied.

“Was?” Doyoung asked and Jaehyun merely nodded.

‘Yes, was.” Jaehyun smiled and the food came to save everyone the misery of more embarrassment

Jeno and Donghyuck finally reached the ball pit and they dove right in, giggling as they played with the colorful balls. “Hey Jeno!” Donghyuck called and he threw a few balls at his friend.

“You’re evil!” Jeno shouted and threw a couple balls back.

“Nah uh!” Donghyuck laughed, throwing more balls.

“Yah!!!” Jeno chased the younger in the pit and they stumbled down with a laugh. “I wanted a brother to play with.” Jeno pouted and Donghyuck frowned at him.

“oh, really?” Donghyuck asked and Jeno nodded. 

“And someone to take care of appa.” Jaeno was now playing with a lone red ball. 

“Why is samchon sad?” Donghyuck asked and Jeno nodded.

“Yeah, he looks sad sometimes.” Jeno replied.

“Appa is sad too!” Donghyuck replied and Jeno furrowed his brows. “Naera omma has Mommy Chelsea but Doyoung appa has no one. He looks at them sometimes and looks sad.” Donghyuck replied. “Hey Jeno, want to be my brother?” Donghyuck asked and Jeno looked at him. “You want Doyougn appa to be your appa too?” Donghyuk tried again and this time Jeno smiled and nodded his head vigorously. 

They then both ran back to their parents just as the waited finished placing the dishes on the table.

“Good timing.” Doyoung said and lifted Donghyuck to his chair.

“Appa, I want Jaehyun samchon as my other appa.” Donghyuck immediately blurted out and both Jaehyun and Doyougn were wide eyed.

‘Yeah. I want Doyoung samchon as my appa too!” Jeno told his father.

“It’s not as easy as it sounds.” Jaehyun said and Jeno pouted.

‘We’ll figure something out.” Doyoung assured Jeno and the kid beamed a wide smile. 

“Thanks appa!” Jeno replied and Doyoung was surprised.

“Unfair! I will call Jaehyun samchon appa too!” Donghyuck whined and JAehyun laughed.

‘I don’t mind.” Jaehyun smiled and Donghyuck miled at him.

‘Really?” Donghyuck replied and Jaehyun nodded. ‘Yay! You should meet Sora and Naera omma and Mommy Chelsea!!!” Donghyuck chirped.

“Hold up Donghyuck.” Doyoung stopped his child and the boy pouted.

“It’s okay; I’d love to meet them.” Jaehyun smiled and Doyoung glared at him then leaned in to whisper to him across the table.

“Are you serious?!” Doyoung asked and Jaehyun blinked at him then nodded.

“I told you I was straight.” Jaehyun replied and smiled before putting a piece of chicken on Donghyuck’s plate.

Doyoung huffed as he tried not to blush but the pink was pretty on his cheeks as Jaehyun eyed him. Doyoung then took some spaghetti and placed it on Jeno’s plate. 

“Eat up.” Doyoung urged and they ate in a comfortable atmosphere.

After they ate desserts and the children were drowsy, the two split their ways but not without asking Doyoung to send the address for the photography studio for them to drop by and have their picture taken.  As Doyoung strapped up a sleepy Donghyuck to the back seat, he can’t help but smile at Jeno’s words: I hope you can make my appa smile too.

“I would love to Jeno.” Dongyoung muttered as he pulled on the hand break and stepped on the gas.k

Chapter 45: Omg, I’m kinda sad that this story has ended, but I really enjoyed reading it!!! ^^ It was sweet that Taeyong’s sister offered to be a surrogate for Yuta & Mina for Sicheng and Taeil. It’s also nice that some of the parents are gonna end up working at the school where their kids attend. The photo shoot scene warmed my heart to read, and I can just imagine how amazing all of their weddings will end up being. (:
