“Sunday morning rain is falling, steal some covers share some skin~”

Seungcheol hummed to the song as he stirred the coffee inside his mug. A clear sign that he got enough sleep and woke up in the best mood, plus no work because it’s sunday. He drew the curtains to let the sunshine in and enjoyed his coffee while looking out the window. A few months has passed and the weather was great. Different type of flowers were blooming prettily along the road. Seungcheol sighed, he just loved spring that much.

 

 

“You woke up so early for someone who always woke up late on sunday”

Seungcheol turned around and saw Jeonghan still in his grey pajama, tying his hair up in a ponytail. Seungcheol enjoyed the view wholeheartedly, like, who wouldn’t? He never knew why never get tired of the sight of Jeonghan in the morning. Instead, the latter kept him amazed at how beautiful he is.

 

“The weather’s pretty, yeah?” Jeonghan said again, already standing next to Seungcheol.

 

 

“Yeah,” Seungcheol replied, still looking at Jeonghan’s side profile, “the prettiest.”

 

 

“Do you want to eat out?”

 

 

“Hmmm, how about dinner later? I don’t feel like going anywhere this morning.”

 

 

“Alright, we can have some simple… egg sandwich? for breakfast?”

 

 

“Oh yes, chef Yoon! Can you add some cheese too, please?” Seungcheol put a hand on Jeonghan’s shoulder and showed his gummy smile to him.

 

 

 “My pleasure, sir.”

 

 

“A few slices of bacon, please?”

 

 

Jeonghan laughed, “What else?”

 

 

 

“Yuchan, stop running come here and put your clothes on,” Jeonghan let out a long sigh, tired of running after him. “If you aren’t going to put it on, then we will leave you alone, uncle Cheol and I are hungry we can’t wait any longer”

 

 

Seungcheol just stepped out of his room, all ready from head to toe, “Gotcha!” he picked Yuchan up when the boy happened to pass by him. Yuchan wriggled in his hold, laughing out loud. He brought him to the couch where Jeonghan was already waiting.

 

 

Thankfully Yuchan decided to gave up, sitting still on Seungcheol’s lap and let Jeonghan do his job. Seungcheol in the other hand helping him by putting Yuchan’s hand into the coat’s sleeve. Winter has come since a couple weeks ago. A wide blanket of bleach-white snow covered the city beautifully.

 

 

“Let’s goooo~!” Yuchan ran towards the door leaving the two adults behind who could only shake their head, thinking why he was so hyperactive today.

 

 

 

Seungcheol noticed something was off about Jeonghan. He didn’t talk much in the car and only stared out of the window most of the time.

“Hey,” Seungcheol addressed him, the other only look towards him for a while, lifting an eyebrow at him, “you okay?”

 

 

“Of course, I am. Why?” Seungcheol noticed Jeonghan changed his face quick to look excited.

 

 

“Nothing.”

 

 

“Maybe it’s because I couldn’t get enough sleep last night”

 

 

“Really? Why?” Seungcheol turned his head to look at him a little longer this time. Worried.

 

 

“No idea,” Jeonghan shook his head lightly, “but it’s okay, I’m good”

 

 

 

They went to a hot pot restaurant to warmed up their shivering bodies in the cold season. It wasn’t long to wait for their orders, different kinds of hot pot and other side dishes which Jeonghan thought too much for them but Seungcheol insisted that they could finish them all.

 

“I want to sit next to uncle Cheol,” Yuchan moved to the other side of the table.

 

 

“But would be hard for me to feed you, baby”

 

 

Seungcheol pulled the chair beside him and helped Yuchan to climb it. “That’s okay, I can do it.”

 

 

Jeonghan glanced at the other two in front of him all the time. Watching Seungcheol patiently switching from eating then feeding Yuchan made him feel a guilty pleasure. He felt bad seeing Seungcheol couldn’t eat properly, but it was also a lovely sight at the same time.

 

 

“Jeonghan?”

 

 

“Yeah?” Seungcheol didn’t answer, only giving him a confused look. “You guys are so cute, I can’t help but to stare.” Jeonghan wiped his eyelids softly. He didn’t even know since when the tears gathered up there.

 

 

“Didi, this one really delicious! Try it try it!” Yuchan excitedly pointed at the steamed dim sum.

 

 

“Really?” Jeonghan took one with his chopstick”

 

 

“Yesss, the one with shrimp inside is the best” Yuchan watched the older dipping the dim sum into the dark colored sauce, “spicy??”

 

 

“Not really, try it”

 

 

Yuchan only shook his head cutely.

 

 

“Yuchan, come on, aaa~” Seungcheol directed the spoon to his mouth, a palm underneath to prop just in case the soup dripped.

 

After satisfying their stomach with the delicious dinner, they headed to the movie theater. They bought the tickets for the action animation movie and an extra large

Chapter 18: omg i really didn't see this coming?! not this soon? Heheee i thought they would beat around the bush for a little more until something forced them to confess (like an accident lol) or one of them overheard the other confession. And this line of jeonghan got me: "do I even have the chance to be sad or stressed over something when i'm with yuchan the whole time?" it hurt and I can totally feel him. Thank you for this cute update!

Chapter 17: you're making it hard for jeonghan, author-nim. Jeonghan's situation kinda reminds me of the time when I was having a secret crush on this guy. We were working together in a group project and it's not easy for me to act like just a normal teammate in a friendly way especially when we had casual talks. Holding in your feelings in front of someone you have romantic feelings for. So I think I have a certain empathy with jeonghan. Moreover, was he more comfortable this way? Trading off familial moments for a (financial) independent life. I thought they were close enough but somehow jeonghan couldn't be totally opened about this yet. Ahh, I was smiling a lot while reading this chapter but after deeply thinking about it... it's just the surface. Nevermind! I hope you know this chapter is still very fluffy and cute, you did well expressing that. 'til next time!

Chapter 16: Aww they finally met, and it's not so bad. I lowkey panicked when jeonghan left the cafe but fortunately they did something about it. Not sure if the problem has been properly fixed but I hope they would remain friends after this, well, at least heheee xD. Thank you for this chapter!

Chapter 15: So that's how seungcheol used to live. And now jeonghan left, sadly he picked up those bad habits again.

I can imagine how frustrated jeonghan would be if he knew. But now I wonder what's going on with jeonghan too. He was not... miserable, was he? I'm sure he and yuchan would miss seungcheol, well, remember when seungcheol went on a business trip. But I hope at least they're not doing as bad as seungcheol was.

Or, they should be? So jeonghan would realize faster that they needed seungcheol just as much as seungcheol did. Heheee

And of course meanie came to the rescue! May they be easy on the two lost guys hehee. I don't know but I feel like they would make one of them confess his feelings to the other, maybe in the future, maybe soon.

Thank you for constantly updating although it took time. I'll keep my promise to be there always. And don't worry about your english, it's fine as long as we understand what you mean to say!

Chapter 14: To be honest..it was kind of disappointing to know that Jeonghan would do that in this chapter..after them being all fluffly on the previous chapter. I mean..I hoped to read a bit of increase in their romantic interactions before dropping that kind of bomb on the plot. :) But yea..despite my opinion, I really can't deny that I like this story a lot. ♥️
