I've never been so satisfied in my life. For four straight nights, I pretty much experienced all the great pleasures of life, metaphorically speaking. You know what that is so let's not elaborate further on that.

I woke up still hugging Yuri. I caressed his chest and abs, admiring how beautiful my man is. With him, I'll never wish for any other thing in my life. "Hmmm morning..." He greeted and kissed my forehead."

"Good morning."

"We have to head straight to the port now, princess. We're late."

"Can we take a day off today? I miss my Sunkyu too. Please~"

"Hmmm... Okay." We both went out of our room and saw Sunkyu already prepared the breakfast.

"Good morning, appa, umma. Come let's eat." He said and we joined him.

"Tell me, how did you know we're not going to the street market today?" Yuri asked.

"It's quite obvious. I usually wake up at 5am and you guys are already out by that time. But then you guys aren't now. I tried to open your door too but it's locked from the inside."

"Ahh I see." Yul said.

"Sweetie, we're sorry we couldn't be here for you the whole day." I apologized.

"I promise when my contract's done, I'll be here at nights, your mom will be here in the mornings." Yuri said.

"No. Don't worry about me. As much as possible I want to help too. I know it's hard."

"Don't worry about us sweetie." I said. In fairness to Sunkyu, for an eight-year old boy, he pretty much has a matured level of thinking. It must be because of the struggles both of them already faced. He's such a very brave boy, just like his brother.

"Umma, I'm just wondering..."

"Yes, sweetie?"

"Do you like Britney Spears so much?" He asked. Yuri and I both looked at him confusedly. "Ehhh what makes you say that?"

"You know, I hear you sing her songs every night."

What?!

"Errrr- What do you mean?"

"You know like 'yeah yeah oh oh yeah oh'?" I looked at him with a formidable expression.

Son of the Sphinx.

This is so embarassing!!!

Yul suddenly burst out of laughter. "Hahaha this is so funny!" He wouldn't stop laughing and almost choke on his food. I glared at him and he toned down.

"Umma, no offense but I prefer Christina Aguilera than her. You know Christina's a real diva."

"Finish you food, Kyu." I said.

"No, really. You should listen to-"

"I said, finish your food!"

“Yes, umma!” He immediately focused on his food and glanced at me looking scared.

Our breakfast turned out to be a complete awkward meal. No seriously, I've never been so embarrassed in my life. This is really humiliating. After our meal, I went straight to our room to hide from both of them. I then heard Yul followed me and closed the door.

"Hey." He sat down beside me.

"Go away."

"Hey it's okay. At least he thought you're just singing." He said. It's so obvious on his face that's he's trying to resist himself from cracking up.

"I don't want to do it anymore."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Hmmm okay." He started to pour kisses on my shoulder again.

"Yuri. I said I don't want it anymore, didn't I?"

"Yeah you don't, but I still do." He said and I glared at him. I left him alone and went to the living room.

I did nothing the morning ‘til noon but to bond with my little kid. We both watched his beloved cartoons. Yul wanted to join us too but since I'm giving him a cold shoulder, he’s forced to do the chores by himself. After our lunch, Yul bid us goodbye. He still has that job of his on that construction site until the 20th. I heard his two friends tagged along with him there too. While me, I'll have a timeout on work. I already asked for an off for two nights with my boss and she said yes. I'm so lucky to have a boss like her.

I decided to go out to the mall along with Sunkyu. I'll be meeting Jessie and Hyo to buy a birthday present for Yul and you know, I kinda miss them both so much too.  Also, though Yul insisted me not to prepare a birthday celebration for him, I still couldn't help myself but to prepare for it. Everyone deserves a celebration even with just a little party on his birthday, right?

"Tiffany! Over here!" Hyoyeon shouted from afar. Sunkyu and I went to them.
