Ambidextrous

Ambidextrous - Yongguk

“Ready for breakfast, JJ?” Yongguk cooed, holding a little jar of mashed banana’s for your six month old son. With your son’s hands hitting the tray of his high chair,  his socked feet moving back and forth while rocking his body the best he could from the excitement bubbling up inside of him.

“Alright, alright, don’t get too excited now” He smiled as he placed the jar on the tray and placed a spoon next to the jar for JJ to use.

“Oops, hold on, I forgot your bib” Turning back into the kitchen, Yongguk walked over to the drawer holding the bibs and baby spoons as he pulled one out and began to walk back over to JJ.

“Jaeguk! What are you doing?!” Yongguk trotted over the rest of the way to the high chair while his son’s eyes lifted to his father’s, the large eyes widened and started to fill with tears from having his dad startle him. Noticing the spoon was in his son’s left hand instead of his right hand, Yongguk quickly moved the brightly colored plastic spoon from one of JJ’s tiny hands to the other.

“That’s better” Yongguk lifted the bib up and fastened it around his son’s neck after placing the spoon in JJ’s right hand. Shuffling back into the kitchen, he poured some juice into a cup, sipping it slowly while watching JJ from afar.

JJ carefully looked down at his food as he tried to placed the spoon in the mashed banana’s, with several attempts JJ finally placed his son’s spoon in the mashed banana’s before your little boy tried to lift up the spoon and maneuver it to his mouth. Your son began to get frustrated, wanting the food that he couldn’t get to his own mouth, JJ tossed the spoon away from his hands then grabbed the mashed banana’s with his hands and began to feed himself. Yongguk’s eyes instantly widened upon seeing his son throw his spoon onto the floor.

“We don’t throw our spoons, JJ” Yongguk trotted over to the fallen spoon and quickly wiped up the food that splattered across the tile.

Once the floor was cleaned, he padded over to the sink and flipped the water on. Washing the spoon for his son, Yongguk carefully washed and dried the spoon, placing the brightly colored, plastic spoon on the tray of the high chair.

Heading out of the room, Yongguk watched his son pick up the spoon with his left hand and begin to eat the mashed bananas happily. Wandering back to the master bedroom, he pushed the door open to see you standing in front of your jewelry box. Letting your fingertips run through the small chain necklaces, Yongguk carefully leaned against the door frame allowing his eyes to scan over your day outfit of cute jean shorts and scoop neck long sleeved shirt with your hair in a cute braid cascading over one shoulder.

“Love~” Yongguk cooed to you after a while

“Yes babe?” You called back to him while your fingers played with the tiny clasp before you wrapped your chosen necklace around the base of your neck.

“I can go out and get the groceries today if you have a list for me” He offers thinking it was odd that JJ was left handed, wondering if you were so he though he would put you through a few tests just to see.

“Sure, I can get one for you” You told him as you headed over towards him and slid your hand into his as you passed him. Lacing his fingers with yours the two of you headed out to the kitchen.

Your eyes found your six month old baby boy, all finished with breakfast as he played with the bowl on his tray. Padding over to his high chair, a smile grew on your face while he lifted his arms so you could pick him up.

“Did my boy have a good breakfast? Was it yummy?” You cooed to JJ while unbuckling him from the high chair and placing him on your hip. 

Placing the tray of the high chair on the counter, you made your way over to the sink while Yongguk’s eyes were focused on you, solely trying to decipher if you were right or left handed. Holding JJ on your right hip, you carefully the water and got it to a warm temperature before you washed his little hands under the running water. Cupping your hand, you gathered some water in the palm of your hand and lifted it up to his mouth as you washed him up.

Sliding a bar stool out, Yongguk carefully sat down and pulled over a paper and a pen for you to write the shopping list on.

“I’ll hold him if you want to write down the list, I want to get there before the mid-day rush” Yongguk says sliding the paper across the peninsula counter top.

“Sure, if you wouldn’t mind drying him up for me” You shuffled JJ over to Yongguk as you handed him a dry towel and placed it on the counter in front of him. 

“Let’s see…” You grabbed the pad of paper and the pen as you wondered over to the pantry and the refrigerator.

Opening the door, you placed the paper on the door and began to write a list of things that you needed. Yongguk watched your hand closely as he couldn’t help but focus on your right hand move with the pen. Watching you pause for a moment, you carefully switched hands for a moment as he held his breath with hope growing. Moving some things around, you switched your pen back to your hand and jotted down some more things that you needed him to pick up at the grocery store.

“Here’s the list” You finished the list and slid the paper across the counter to him.

“Thanks, I will get right on it” He stood up and shuffled JJ back over to you. “I’ll be back soon”

Bouncing JJ in your arms, you watched Yongguk slip on his shoes, carefully fold the list and slip it into his coat pocket before blowing you two a kiss from the door. Watching your husband disappear from behind the door, you slowly tilted your head to one side in confusion.

“Did something happen to Daddy lately? I wonder why he is acting a little strange…” You told yourself out loud while JJ played with the necklace around your neck. “Did Daddy say anything to you?”

Looking down at your son, his big brown eyes look up at you for an second or two they were wide but then they curved up into cute crescent moons and his pink lips spread to show you his gummy smile.

“I’ll take that as a no” You smiled and smothered your little boy in kisses before heading to his bedroom to change him into other clothes for the rest of the day.

Days passed as you found it odd that Yongguk asked you to do these simple tasks that he could easily do himself. Finding his eyes on your hands most of the time, you found it out of the ordinary and posed more questions than it answered.

“Yeobo?” You questioned one evening as you carried a basket full of clean laundry into the living room as you sat on the couch. Placing the basket beside you, your eyes fell onto Yongguk as he played with JJ on the floor.

“Yes babe?” Yongguk answered, glancing up at you while you began to fold the clean laundry.

“Is something wrong? Like is anything bothering you lately?” You probed knowing he would break one day.

“No” He tried to laugh his answer off making it seem like it was nothing to concern yourself with.

“Then what was with all of the hand tests?” You tilted your head to one side as you watched his eyes slowly blink and drop to the colorful blanket of JJ’s.

“W-What do you mean?” Yongguk picked up another toy and tried to get JJ to try and crawl to it as he avoided your question.

“Like all of the writing and catching and throwing tests that you have been putting me through the last few days” You posed, laying all of the cards on the table, you couldn’t help but keep your eyes focused on him. His lungs filled to capacity with air before he let out the air slowly.

“I-I just had to be sure…” Yongguk whispered while his fingers started to play with the teething toy between his hands.

“Being sure about what?” You started to become a little more concerned with his delayed replies.

“Earlier this week, I caught JJ trying to use his left hand to eat. I know I am right handed and you are too so I am worried that we have a left handed son…” Yongguk  slowly turned his body and head so he was looking up at you.

your lips slowly, you brought your lower lip between your teeth as you slid off of the couch and sat next to him. Lifting your hand, you rested your hand between his shoulder blades and slowly rubbed his back.

“Actually…. I haven’t been completely honest with you…” You dropped your eyes letting your voice slowly trail off.

“Wh-What do y-you mean?” Yongguk sat up a little from laying on his stomach as he turned over onto his side. The chocolate orbs of his slowly widening as you dropped your eyes this time, playing with your wedding ring around your finger, you thought of the words you wanted to say.

“He isn’t yours, Yongguk” Those words spilled from your lips as you tried to keep a straight face “That is why he is left handed…”

“_______! What do you mean he isn’t mine?!” Yongguk yelled causing his eyes widened as he instantly sat up, his eyes trying to read your eyes frantically trying to see if there was truth behind them.

“Just kidding, I’m just kidding” You patted his shoulder as you leaned over and started tickling his stomach trying to get him to laugh.

“Yah! I can’t tell if you are serious or not” Yongguk pouted and tried to push your hands away from him as he knew that he was going to start laughing any moment now.

“I’m ambidextrous love, I have always been” You confessed as you stopped tickling him for a moment.

In the next moment, you found yourself on your back with your hands above your head as Yongguk pinned you down.

“How dare you keep that from me all of these years“ He tried to hold a straight face but you saw the smile fighting to shine through.

“I’m sorry, you never asked” You shrugged your shoulders.

“Fine, you have to show me you can write your name with both hands then I will believe you” Yongguk looked at you suspiciously before he sat up and pulled you up with him.

Picking you up and placing you on his lap, he pulled over a paper and a crayon as he handed it to you.

“Print your name and mine” Yongguk told you as you nodded, writing with your left hand first, his arms slowly wrapped around you while his chin rested on your shoulder.

Watching over you, he saw the crayon move in your left hand printing his name and yours next to one another. Switching to your other hand, you carefully wrote your name and his again.

“See?” You shifted your body gently to look back at him.

“Draw a heart around our names, please” He tapped the paper as he enjoyed seeing you write and draw.

Drawing a heart around your names, one with your left hand, then another one with your right, you drew flowers and anything else Yongguk wanted to see you do to convince him you could write and draw with both hands.

“Looks like you are” Yongguk whispered after a while

“Don’t worry JJ will be just fine being a lefty, but we can teach him to use both hands if you want” You leaned over and kissed your husbands’ cheek softly. Peering over to the baby blanket, you saw JJ fast asleep.

Yongguk nodded and kissed your lips gently before he started to rock you in his arms.

“He is mine right?” Yongguk questioned after a while, his question caused you to laugh, covering your mouth with your hand, you nodded your head against his strong chest.

“He’s ours” You hummed while your eyes gently closed.

“I can’t believe you kept that a secret for so long” Yongguk hummed against your hair

“What can I say I am sneaky” You chuckled and leaned up to kiss his smile with yours.

“Very sneaky” Yongguk whispered into your lips as the two of you exchanged loving and deep kisses between the two of you.

“We could teach you to be a lefty too” You suggested, your eyes gazed up at him.

“We’ll see” Yongguk hummed with his arms securing you against him, the two of you watched the array of colors begin to paint across the sky while the sun descended lower and lower.
