Watching the interaction between Kangin and Arrow, Hyukjae felt extremely jealous.

People could say that he was overreacting and that Donghae's ex was just there to see the boy and then he would leave. However, Hyukjae didn't understand why Kangin was back and why he decided to visit Donghae and Arrow.

Something was out of place.

- I scored four goals, Kangin. – Arrow said and Kangin smiled.

- I saw. Your dad put a video on Instagram of you scoring a goal.

Hyukjae arched an eyebrow.

- How so? Do you still follow Donghae?

Kangin looked at Hyukjae.

- Yes. We're friends and we talk a lot about things that happen in Arrow's life. Did not you know?

The chef narrowed his eyes.

- Donghae must have told me that and I ended up forgetting.

Kangin nodded and looked at Arrow who climbed onto the couch and said:

- I also danced with Aisha. Dad showed you?

- Yes. You and Aisha danced very well.

- It's a pity you didn't come, Kangin. – Arrow pouted – We danced and then grandma Mikyong gave us cinnamon roll.

Kangin laughed.

- And you love cinnamon roll.

Arrow nodded and Hyukjae frowned. He didn't like the interaction between his son and Kangin at all.

- So, Kangin, do you want to eat something or go away?

- Don't go away, Kangin. – Arrow hugged his ex-stepfather – Dad will arrive from uncle Wook's house and you will see him. My dad has a big belly.

- Oh, really? You guys must be very happy with all the change in the family.

- We are. – Hyukjae replied – We've never been so happy.

Kangin understood that Hyukjae was irritated, but he still didn't want to leave without seeing Donghae. It wasn't like he was going to steal the brunet and his son and take them to Thailand. Kangin just missed them. Hyukjae needed to understand that there was only friendship and a lot of respect there.

- I got a lot of nice gifts from Santa, you know? – Arrow was proud – And I read a book to my dad.

- Really? Cool! You already know how to read.

- Yes! Aisha teaches me English words and Gaeul can speak Japanese because of his cousin. Oh! And we'll have a nanny when my little siblings are born. She is Aisha's cousin.

- That is great. Hope you guys have a lot of fun. Have you already chosen the name for your siblings?

- Yeah, but it's a secret. – Arrow chuckled – I'll just say their names when they're born.

Kangin laughed and ruffled Arrow's hair.

At that moment, the door opened and Donghae entered the house after taking off his shoes, but he had to run to the bathroom to pee. Hyukjae felt a little forgotten like he was just a piece of furniture that had no interest, but nothing did.

When Donghae returned, he smiled widely and then chuckled as Kangin stood up and hugged him.

- Look at you! What a change.

- It seems that I have changed so much, Kangin.

- Well, you're very different since the last time I saw you. But that's not bad.

Donghae smiled and Hyukjae got up, going to the kitchen to get some water. He wasn't thirsty, but he couldn't bear to see all that interaction.

- And how are things in Thailand? – asked Donghae when he sat on the couch – I bet you didn't stop working.

Kangin laughed.

- Indeed. But during the holidays I had a lot of fun. In Thailand there are a hundred things I can do. You and Arrow would have liked it there. – they smiled at each other – Ah! I brought gifts. I wanted to wait for you to arrive to deliver.

- Want some help?

- Can I go with you, Kangin?

- Let's go. Your dad can't be carrying heavy things.

Arrow got down from the couch and happily followed Kangin. When they were alone, Hyukjae asked:

- Did you know he was coming?

- No.

- Then why did he show up here by surprise?

- And will I know how to answer? – Donghae rolled his eyes – Also, what's the problem? Did you treat him badly?

- It's not that. I just didn't like seeing him here.

- And why?

- Because I didn't like it.

Donghae arched an eyebrow.

- Are you jealous?

Hyukjae rolled his eyes.

- Of course I am.

- And why?

- Because I don't like to see that Kangin and Arrow interact as if they were father and son. I'm the appa over here.

After a sigh, Donghae walked over to Hyukjae's kitchen and placed his hands on his shoulders. He looked deep into his boyfriend's eyes and said:

- Kangin never mistreated Arrow and it's more than normal that our son likes him. He's been by our side for a long time and all he's done was to protect us, so don’t be mad at me or Arrow.

- I'm not mad at you. And why do you invalidate what I feel?

- I'm not invalidating what you feel. I only ask you one question: what is the difference between Kangin and Yunseo?

Hyukjae snorted.

- That's not a fair question.

- Yes, it is. Because if Kangin had treated my son the way Yunseo treated Arrow, he would never have set foot in this house. And I'm not blaming you. I just want you to see the difference between Kangin and Yunseo, and understand that Arrow is happy.

- And you?

- I'm happy too, but I'm not going to throw myself into his arms and take your children to Thailand. Our life is so cool, so don't be jealous. I love you. – Donghae hugged Hyukjae – Only you.

Hyukjae wrapped his arms around Donghae's waist and sniffed his neck. It was still strange having Kangin there and interacting with the family as if things were normal. But maybe they were normal and Hyukjae was just being hard headed – like a buffalo.

- Love you too. Sorry for being so silly.

- Okay. I would be jealous too if the situation were different. – they laughed softly and Donghae whispered when he looked at Hyukjae: – Kiss to seal the peace.

- Kiss to seal the peace.

It was a quick kiss, as Kangin and Arrow entered the house – each carrying a bag. Donghae left Hyukjae and went to pay attention to the unexpected, but very sweet guest.

- What is that?

- Oh! Things I bought for your family. Simple gifts. – Kangin smiled and opened the bags. Arrow sat on the couch and swung his legs as he snooped around – Starting with Arrow's gifts, I bought two video games: one Mario and one Sonic.

- For real? – Arrow's eyes sparkled when Kangin showed the games.

- Yes. You told me once that you asked Santa Claus to give you one of these, but you never got it.

- Did Santa Claus leave the gift at your house?

- I personally went to talk to him.

Arrow grinned widely.

- I saw Santa Claus when I was with appa at the mall. He took a picture with me.

- And he told me you were a good boy, so here are your gifts.

- What do you say to Kangin, Arrow?

- Thanks! – the boy hugged Kangin and laughed when he messed up his hair – I'm going to play with my friends.

- I hope you have fun. – Arrow admired his new games and Kangin continued – And for the parents… Well, I bought aloe vera creams and shampoos for Donghae. For Hyukjae-ssi, I bought grain spices. It even has dried chili peppers and you will never regret using them.

Hyukjae kind of blushed as he picked up the spice kit that Kangin had bought.

- Thanks. It was a pretty cool gift.

- I didn't know if you would like it, but I thought it would be cool for you to use it in your homemade recipes or in culinary tests.

- I liked very much. Thanks.

Kangin smiled and looked at Donghae who could smell the perfume of the shampoos.

- Did you like it?

- Yes, I did. And aloe vera can be used on my tummy. I need my skin more hydrated.

- I heard that aloe vera is good for burns too. So if you end up getting sunburn just use it. – Donghae nodded and hugged Kangin, saying:

- Thank you for the gifts. You didn’t need to worry about these treats, but the whole family really enjoyed it, didn't you guys?

Hyukjae nodded and Arrow hugged Kangin once more. The man laughed and patted the boy on the shoulder, saying:

- As much as I wanted to stay longer, I have to go.

- Already?

- Why?

- I'm going back to Thailand tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do.

- What a shame. It would be nice if you stayed for dinner.

- I can't, because I promised my mother that I would have dinner with her and my father. But maybe you can visit me in Thailand after the babies are born?

Donghae quickly looked at Hyukjae, who smiled, and replied:

- It would be amazing. We just need to make a change here and a change there.

- I know it. They say twins are twice as much trouble and Arrow is still their big brother.

- What does that mean? – Arrow asked and pouted.

- You're going to be an amazing brother. – Kangin hugged him and kissed his forehead – You don't know how much I missed you, Arrow.

- I missed you too, Kangin. Will you come back later to see my siblings?

- If it's not a problem, I'll come for sure.

Hyukjae then sai
