Summary: They were ready to give up on love, but fate had other things planned and it turned out that love wasnt ready to give up on them
A/N: lets just say anything happens in our world.... hehehe
Jae Joong woke up from his slumber by his son bouncing on the bed like an energizer bunny.
“Umma, Umma you have to wake up! I’m going to go to school today! Umma, hurry up!” Sung Woong shrieked at his parent. He pulled and prodded at the sleepy man till Jae Joong woke up.
“Okay, I’m up. Wow, baby, I’ve never seen you this excited to go to school before.” Jae Joong said through a yawn.
“Of course, Umma. I’m going to a new school and I’m going to play with In Hwan!” Sung Woong stated the obvious.
“Of course…” Jae Joong mumbled. Sung Woong was about to pull at Jae Joong’s sleeve when suddenly, Jae Joong rolled over and tickled his son mercilessly.
“Umma… Umma! NO! Umma… hahaha… STOP IT! Umma… please!” Sung Woong laughed and shrieked, his face turning redder by the second.
“This is the punishment for waking me up so early Kim Sung Woong.” Jae Joong laughed and tickled on. At last he took mercy on his breathless son and stopped. They both fell back on the bed, out of breath with silly smiles pasted on their faces.
“Sung Woong ah, let’s wake Appa up.” Jae Joong suddenly said, a mischievous look creeping up on his flawless face. Sung Woong had a brow perfectly arched and he mimicked his parent’s smile. Together they got up and stealthily went to Yunho’s room. They couldn’t help but snigger and giggle as they executed their plan.
They opened Yunho’s door quietly and found the man sleeping with the sheets tangled around his feet. Sung Woong giggled a little too loudly and Yunho stirred. Both Kim’s stood frozen for a moment, scared that Yunho might have woken up. Jae Joong quickly pulled his son to him and covered the boy’s mouth with his hand. When Yunho shifted and went back to sleep, the other two relaxed a bit. They giggled again and Sung Woong quietly climbed up Yunho’s bed. Jae Joong positioned himself behind Yunho. They both nodded with their hands at the ready.
“Appa~” Sung Woong whispered into Yunho’s ear. Yunho grunted and shifted again and all of a sudden, he was awoken by Jae Joong and Sung Woong tickling him.
“What the- Oh My God! Stop… guys… come on…. Ahhh!” Yunho couldn’t help but squirm and laugh at the attack. Shrieks and laughter filled the entire house and suddenly a loud bump was heard when Yunho fell from the bed in his attempt to escape from the senior and junior Kim.
“Ow…” Yunho rubbed his waist where it had hit the edge of the bedside table. Two pair of eyes peered from the bed.
“Yunho, are you okay?” Jae Joong asked, concerned. Yunho merely laughed and the tension was lifted.
“Now, what did I do to deserve that?” Yunho asked as he picked himself up from the floor.
“I want to get ready to go to school! Now!” Sung Woong said happily. Jae Joong only gave Yunho a smile which made Yunho’s heart run a mile.
“Okay, fine. Since we’re up this early, why don’t I help you clean up so your Umma can make us breakfast.” Yunho said, taking the little boy’s hand.
“Yay! Umma, I want pancakes!” Sung Woong cried as he ran to the bathroom. Both Yunho and Jae Joong were left alone in the room and for a while they didn’t seem to notice that the other was there.
“Jae Joong…” hearing Yunho calling his name brought him back to reality and Jae Joong blushed despite himself when he realized he was on Yunho’s bed. It felt good to hear his name coming out from Yunho’s lips.
“I should go and make-“Jae Joong stuttered awkwardly. He got up from Yunho’s bed but tripped his foot on the blanket that had fallen onto the floor. Both Sung Woong and Yunho quickly went to Jae Joong’s side and found the young man with a silly smile plastered on his face.
“Jae Joong, are you okay?” Yunho asked, trying hard to keep his voice level and his face straight.
“I think so…” came Jae Joong’s embarrassed reply. All the three of them ended up laughing and not moving from their spots for quite some time.
*
Breakfast had gone without a hitch, except for Sung Woong’s excited chatter. And when Yunho drove him to school, the little boy couldn’t stop fidgeting in his seat.
“Appa, are we there yet? Are we there yet?” Sung Woong kept asking every few seconds and it was driving Jae Joong up the wall.
“Honey, we’ll tell you when we get there!” Jae Joong said exasperatedly. Yunho merely chuckled at the six year old and his parent.
“Appa, you need to drive faster! Umma, tell Appa to drive faster!”
Yunho laughed out loud at the request and at Jae Joong’s face. The man totally didn’t know how to react when his son asked him to say things to Yunho. Yunho caught Jae Joong’s eyes through the rear view mirror and Jae Joong blushed even redder and pretended to look out the window.
It was a whole different story the moment they reached the school. Sung Woong had gone all quiet when he saw the school gates. Sensing that something was wrong with his son, Jae Joong pulled his son to him and ran his hands through the boy’s hair. “Sung Woong, are you scared?” Jae Joong asked. “You know, you can go to school another day if you want. You don’t necessarily have to go today.”
“No, I want to start today. Appa, can we wait inside the car until In Hwan comes? And can both of you and Umma send me to the gate later?” Sung Woong looked hopefully at Yunho.
“I can’t see why not. And both your Umma and I will come to pick you up this evening okay.” Yunho gave the little boy a smile that immediately put the kid to ease. They stayed in the car for five minutes when the unmistakable form of Yoo Chun walking with In Hwan came into view.
“In Hwan is here, Darling.” Yunho said and he opened the rear door and held out his hand for his little boy to hold.
“Sung Woong Hyung!” the cry of three year old In Hwan could be heard from where the three of them was standing and they could see In Hwan escaping from Yoo Chun’s hand and run towards his newly found friend. Jae Joong couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his son with the smaller boy.
“We’re going to have so much fun together, Hyung. I want to show you my new yellow truck Umma got for me yesterday. You want to see it?” In Hwan chattered excitedly. Sung Woong nodded happily and gave a wide smile to his parents before going into the school, courtesy of being pulled by In Hwan.
“They’re going to get pretty tight. Those two.” Yoo Chun said suddenly, the other two men beside him nodding almost simultaneously as they watch the two boys disappear into the school building.
Yoo Chun turned to look at the others and found himself looking at something out his memory. Yunho and Jae Joong standing together just like old times. The word together played in his mind. Both of these souls had been separated for six years just because of love, but the love for that little boy had brought them together. How ironic, he thought.
“Yoo Chun ah!” Yunho’s voice calling him snapped him out of thoughts.
“Yeah. What?”
“He’s still day dreams while standing I see.” Jae Joong said with a smirk, earning a mischievous grin from Yunho.
“Hey, old habits die hard.” Yunho replied.
“Hey, it’s not fair! You guys can’t gang up on me!”
“And he still whines like a baby.”
“Of course. You haven’t seen him when he’s melancholic.”Jae Joong laughed at Yoo Chun’s face. It was totally priceless.
“Anyway, Yoo Chun, I’m not going to office for a week. I have something to do. Can you tell my secretary to send me only the documents that needs to be signed? And, I plan on taking the kids to the amusement park this weekend since that food monster Chang Min said he wants to spend time with the little ones. You okay with that?”
“Sure, I can do that. And I will tell Junsu about the amusement park. “Yunho and Jae Joong smiled at Yoo Chun and began to walk away. “And what are you going to do the whole week?” Yoo Chun asked after them.
“We’re going to paint!” Jae Joong answered cheekily and went with Yunho. Yunho laughed a little and his hand sought out Jae Joong’s. Jae Joong let his hand find Yunho’s and he reveled in the warmth of the other man’s hand. Jae Joong secretly smiled to himself and let Yunho hold him till they reached the car.
The little action didn’t go unnoticed by Yoo Chun and he rapidly blinked his eyes and pinched his arm just to see if he had dreamt that moment. Seeing that it was no dream, he quickly whipped out his cell phone and dialed Junsu’s number.
“What is it Chunnie?” Junsu said the moment he answered the phone.
“Su, I think they’re together. Like, really together.” Yoo Chun said excitedly. He walked jumpily to his car and sat in the driver’s seat, excited shivers going through him.
“What are you talking about? Who is together?”
“Yunho and Jae Joong Hyung! I swear I saw them holding hands just now. And Yunho took a whole week off. And when I asked them what they were going to do for the whole week, Jae Joong Hyung merely said that they were going to pain! I mean, paint what! OH-MY-GOD! Su, could they already be… you know!”
“Park Yoo Chun, are you sure that was what they were doing and that was what Jae Joong Hyung said. Because doesn’t it seem too soon for them to… you know…?”
“I swear! I just can’t believe that this is happening!”
Junsu shrieked at the other end of the line and both partners laughed at the thought of the Yunjae couple already together.
“I’m so going to call Chang Min and tell him! This is AWESOME! Chunnie, you have to come home and spill everything to me.”
Yoo Chun put the key into the ignition and switched the engine on. “I’m already on the way, Babe.”
*
Once inside the car, the atmosphere became slightly awkward. Both Yunho and Jae Joong just realized that this was the first time they have been alone, without Sung Woong between them. It was just the two of them in the car. Yunho cleared his throat and looked at Jae Joong beside him. His heart was beating so fast and his mouth became dry. For once in his life, he didn’t know what to say.
Jae Joong was having the same problem and he was nervous. He hadn’t been with Yunho alone for a long time and that simple touch just now had left him thinking of endless possibilities. Finally, Yunho took mercy on him and initiated the conversation.
“So, how are we going to decorate the little squirt’s room? Dragons and castles and Prince U Know?”
Jae Joong’s ears turned red at the last words. “I told Sung Woong that I couldn’t draw a dragon, but I can draw another thing that he likes. Sung Woong likes sports cars and I thought I might draw cars and a race track in his room. What do you think?”
“I think I love that idea. And if that is what my son likes, then I’m more than up for it.”
“Your… your son?” Jae Joong stuttered. He didn’t expect that to come out of Yunho’s mouth and panic was rising inside him.
Yunho merely nodded. “Yes, he’s my son as much as he’s yours. Like I told you Jae Joongie, he may not be my biological son. But as long as he is alive, I am his father and he is my son. He even calls me Appa from the first moment we met. Can’t I call him my son?”
Jae Joong let out a sigh of relief but his heart swelled at the thought that Yunho cared that much about that little boy. “I guess you are right. So what are we going to do now? Buy paint?”
“Yeah. What color does he like?”
“Red. He likes the color red. Is your favorite color still red, Yunho?”
“Yup. Let’s go to the mall.”
The couple had so much fun buying all the paint and ordering furniture at the mall. Jae Joong was found Yunho irritatingly funny because he kept getting unnecessary stuff which Jae Joong had to tell him to put it back numerous times. Jae Joong rubbed his chest each time Yunho took something and asked if they needed it. Yunho would just smile cheekily and go to put it back.
When it came to paying for their things, Jae Joong found so many things that he didn’t need but he thought he might as well humor Yunho. As they were walking towards their car, Yunho suddenly saw something that caught his eye and told Jae Joong to wait outside for a while. He didn’t let Jae Joong follow him and told him to wait outside.
“What did you get?” Jae Joong asked as they put the things into the car.
“His bed. And I want to surprise both of you.” Yunho said cheekily. Jae Joong rolled his eye. It was just typical of Yunho to be so secretive. But somehow, Jae Joong found it endearing.
Jae Joong looked at the clock and found that it was time for them to pick Sung Woong from school. They found their son playing reading a book with another child and the teacher was waiting for Jae Joong and Yunho to come so that she could have a word with them.
“Hi, Honey.” Jae Joong kissed his son when they entered the classroom and the kid became excited and hugged both Jae Joong and Yunho.
“Seonsaengnim, this is my Umma and this is my Appa.” Sung Woong said proudly to his teacher, who couldn’t seem to peel her eyes off the two men in front of her.
“I’m sorry. I’m Han Byul, I’m Sung Woong’s form teacher. I just want to say that your son is a very smart boy and he makes friends quickly. We are glad to have a student like him.” The teacher told the two men.
“I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you very much. Um, we need to get going. Thank you again Han Seonsaengnim.” Yunho took Sung Woong’s hand and together the three of them walked out of the school.
“Umma, today I played with In Hwan and this kid called-“ Sung Woong began to tell his parents of the things that he had done in school that day and Yunho was just as excited as the little boy, not knowing what to expect to come out from the child’s mouth.
Five minutes before they reached their house, Sung Woong fell asleep out of sheer excitement and exhaustion of the day.
“I was just about to ask him to paint with us, but I guess it’s only the two of us. He’s dead beat.” Yunho said as he carried the sleeping child out of the car. Jae Joong carried his son’s bag and together they entered the house.
“Go put Sung Woong on the bed first. I’ll make for you tea and we can start to paint after that.” Jae Joong went to the kitchen while Yunho went upstairs to put Sung Woong. As Jae Joong was making tea, he realized that his life was very typical of the average family. Here he was, making tea for Yunho. THE Yunho whom he loves with all his heart and upstairs, the man was putting his little boy on his bed.
Their little boy. Jae Joong couldn’t help but smile at that as he absent mindedly stir the tea. Life had never been so domestic.
The sound of Yunho’s footsteps coming nearer made Jae Joong jump a little and he quickly took out two cups and poured the tea. Yunho came into the kitchen not five seconds later, already changed into a white shirt and another shirt was in his hand. Yunho stood near Jae Joong and waited patiently as he Jae Joong poured the tea. Jae Joong could smell Yunho’s cologne even though it was faint, and he was intoxicated.
“I brought you one of my old shirts for you so you don’t have to ruin any of yours.” Yunho said almost shyly as he handed Jae Joong the shirt. Both of them blushed when they caught each other’s eyes and Jae Joong was the first one to break the contact by giving Yunho his tea. Their hands accidentally brushed together when Jae Joong assed Yunho his tea and the action caused electricity to run through their bodies.
“Tha… thank you Jae Joong.” Yunho stammered and they drank their tea in silence. After Yunho finished his tea he got up and washed his own cup, making Jae Joong intrigued by the behavior. Maybe Yunho had been living alone for too long that he had learned to do things by himself automatically.
“I will wait for you in Sung Woong’s room.” Yunho said with an awkward smile and he left the kitchen. Jae Joong was left looking at the shirt with mixed feeling. He couldn’t believe that he was holding Yunho’s shirt. He could still smell Yunho’s unique scent despite the floral smell of laundry detergent.
“Might as well listen to the big man.” Jae Joong muttered to himself and went to change his shirt.
Yunho laid out the sheets and opened the cans of paint, taking the brushes all the other things that they might need. He was just setting the sheet over the floor when his eyes caught the sight at the door. Jae Joong was standing in the doorway, smoothing the hem of the shirt. Yunho gulped and had to breathe in and out a couple of times to stop himself from drooling at the sight of Jae Joong I his shirt. Damn the man was fine!
“Oh, you set the things already. Shall we start?” Jae Joong asked with a bright smile on his face. Yunho could only manage a nod and let Jae Joong take the brush from his hand. Yunho rapidly blinked his eyes and started to copy Jae Joong and it was not long later when they started painting the room.
The two men worked in silence for the first half an hour but they kept stealing glances at each other. At last Jae Joong got bored and seeing Yunho so deep in concentration made him feel naughty. Jae Joong crept silently to Yunho’s side and called his name.
“Yunho ya~” Yunho turned at the call but found his cheek being smeared with white paint as he turned to look at Jae Joong. Jae Joong laughed his heart out at Yunho’s expression.
“Very funny, Kim Jae Joong.” Yunho said as he rolled his eyes and Jae Joong laughed even more. Yunho took the opportunity to take revenge by smearing some red paint onto Jae Joong’s nose.
“Ha-ha, got you now!” Yunho said triumphantly, making Jae Joong cross eyes when he looked at his red nose. “Clowns are supposed to make people laugh, and now you look like one.”
“Oh, you’re so dead Jung Yunho!” Jae Joong exclaimed and the two men ran all over the room as they tried to paint each other. It was the first time after so long that they were laughing just because of being together and there were no prohibitions to their feelings. They were just purely having fun with each other and it made them pant happily when they called a truce.
“I think we painted ourselves more than we painted the room.” Yunho said breathlessly as he lay panting beside Jae Joong.
“I couldn’t agree more. And thank you for the experience of being painted.” They looked into each other and laughed again. Somehow, the awkwardness that they had felt all this while dissipated and they were for once, comfortable in each other’s presence.
*
Over the next few days, the two men finished painting and furnishing the room and all that was left was the bed, which Yunho didn’t let Jae Joong and Sung Woong see. On the day that they were supposed to meet the others at the amusement park, Yunho decided to let them quench their curiosity.
Sung Woong excitedly went to unwrap the bed and Jae Joong stood beside Yunho, watching his son revealing his bed. When it was finally unwrapped, it was a single sized bed in the shape of a sports car. And the best part was, it was red in color.
“WOW!” sung Woong said, his eyes going as big as saucers when he saw his bed and he quickly climbed up to it and laid down. “Appa, I love it so much!” the little boy shrieked.
“Yunnie, that is so… so…” Jae Joong said, trying to find the right words to say.
“What did you just call me?” Yunho asked, hoping that he hadn’t misheard Jae Joong. The other man just blushed and decided that his shoes was interesting.
“I called you… Yunnie?” Jae Joong mumbled and Yunho broke out into a smile and he gently took Jae Joong’s hand and squeezed it. “Thank you for the compliment, Joongie.”
Sung Woong chose to run to them at that moment and hugged Yunho’s knees. “I love you, Appa. Thank you for all this.” if Jae Joong calling him Yunnie had surprised him, the little boy saying he loved him made Yunho feel like exploding in happiness.
“I love you too, Baby Boy.” Yunho crouched down and gave the little boy a proper hug. Jae Joong was drowning in the moment, his emotions soaring seeing the two most important people in his life together like that.
“Now, what do you say we go and tell In Hwan about it at the amusement park?” Yunho asked and Sung Woong screamed at the top of his lungs while running to get his shoes.
“You’re going to spoil him rotten.” Jae Joong said as they left the house. Yunho merely smirked and got into the car.
*
As soon as the black Audi parked beside Yunho’s car, Sung Woong began to bounce and get all excited.
“Umma, it’s Uncle Min and Uncle Minho! Omo, even Si Chul is here!” Sung Woong exclaimed happily. Siwon and Hee Chul exited from the car first and Sung Woong bounded out of the car and went to Hee Chul just to see the baby girl in Hee Chul’s arms.
“Annyeong Sin Chul ah. It’s me, your Sung Woong Oppa.” Sung Woong said softly and ran a finger through the little girl’s cheeks. Si Chul looked at Sung Woong with her big eyes that she had inherited from her Umma and as soon as Sung Woong touched her cheek, she gave a high pitched shriek and gave a toothless grin.
“Hey, little squirt! You’re so happy to see Si Chul you forgot all about us huh?” Chang Min said as he unfolded his incredibly long legs from the back seat.
“Uncle Min!” Sung Woong whined and went to hug his Uncle Minho and Uncle Min. Jae Joong and Yunho merely looked at their son and all they could do was just beam at him.
“So, where is Junsu? I thought he was here already?” Hee Chul asked as he pushed a pacifier into Si Chul’s mouth.
“I’m here!” In Hwan’s voice could be heard from a far and they could all see the little boy running towards them, pulling Junsu with him.
So the brood was at last complete and they all headed towards the amusement park, Chang Min being the first one to enter the place.
“This is so awesome, right Minho?” Chang Min asked, his eyes going big looking at the rides. His mind had already chosen which rides he wanted to take.
“Yeah. Awesome! I think we should ride the Vikings first.” Minho said, his eyes glued to the ride.
“Siwon Darling, I think Si Chul wants her Appa. I’m going to stick with Minho and Chang Min. I want to take the rides.” Hee Chul passed his daughter to a shocked Si Won and stood beside the 2min couple with a cheeky smile on his face.
“Su and I also want to take the rides, but I don’t think the kids can take all the rides.”
“Oh, don’t worry about the kids. I think Yunho and I can take care of them. And Si Won, you can give Si Chul to me. You and Hee Chul can take the rides together.” Jae Joong offered, much to Si Won’s relief.
“Thanks, Hyung.” Si Chul gurgled happily at Jae Joong as her Appa passed her and Yunho took her bag from Hee Chul.
“Her diapers and milk formula are all in the bag. Thanks a mill, Hyung!”
“I want to stay with Sung Woong Hyung.” In Hwan said, looking at Yoo Chun hopefully.
“Fine. But you have to promise that you’ll behave and help Uncle Yunho and Jae Joong ok.” Yoo Chun said, giving his right pinky.
“I promise, Appa.” The little boy said, giving his father a toothy grin and hooked his father’s pinky.
So the Yunjae couple were left with the children but they didn’t complain one bit. In fact they enjoyed taking the kids for a ride. Sung Woong and In Hwan had loads of fun on the ride, and Yunho couldn’t stop taking pictures of the kids. Shot after shot he took of them and he also couldn’t stop taking pictures of Jae Joong with Si Chul whenever the guy was not looking. Yunho imagined Jae Joong carrying their new born baby.
‘What a thought, Jung Yunho.” He thought to himself. In Hwan and Sung Woong wanted to ride a train ride, but In Hwan couldn’t ride without an adult accompanying him. So Yunho volunteered to play parent and the three of them rode the ride, Jae Joong laughing and taking pictures of them three.
‘Yunho would make a wonderful father even if we have more kids. Omo, did I just say we, and more kids? Seriously Kim Jae Joong, you need to get a grip on yourself.’ Jae Joong thought. Suddenly, they could hear a loud scream that definitely had come from Chang Min and he laughed out loud.
At last, after two hours the others came back and In Hwan and Sung Woong kept telling everyone about their rides. Sung Woong suddenly stopped short in front of a stall and pulled Yunho’s pants.
“Appa, can you win me that bear. I heard once that Umma likes that kind of bear. So can you do it for me?” Sung Woong asked innocently.
Yunho looked at a blushing Jae Joong and smiled. “Of course, Baby. Wait here.” Yunho went to the stall and went to shoot the ducks. He hit the five ducks with precision and he won the bear.
“Here you go, Jae Joong.” Jae Joong blushed and took it, muttering a thank you. Chang Min wolf whistled and the others merely gave smirks and grins, all with one thought in mind.
The Yunjae couple are really back.

Jae Joong woke up from his slumber by his son bouncing on the bed like an energizer bunny.
“Umma, Umma you have to wake up! I’m going to go to school today! Umma, hurry up!” Sung Woong shrieked at his parent. He pulled and prodded at the sleepy man till Jae Joong woke up.

“Of course…” Jae Joong mumbled. Sung Woong was about to pull at Jae Joong’s sleeve when suddenly, Jae Joong rolled over and tickled his son mercilessly.
“Umma… Umma! NO! Umma… hahaha… STOP IT! Umma… please!” Sung Woong laughed and shrieked, his face turning redder by the second.
“This is the punishment for waking me up so early Kim Sung Woong.” Jae Joong laughed and tickled on. At last he took mercy on his breathless son and stopped. They both fell back on the bed, out of breath with silly smiles pasted on their faces.

“What the- Oh My God! Stop… guys… come on…. Ahhh!” Yunho couldn’t help but squirm and laugh at the attack. Shrieks and laughter filled the entire house and suddenly a loud bump was heard when Yunho fell from the bed in his attempt to escape from the senior and junior Kim.
“Ow…” Yunho rubbed his waist where it had hit the edge of the bedside table. Two pair of eyes peered from the bed.
“Yunho, are you okay?” Jae Joong asked, concerned. Yunho merely laughed and the tension was lifted.
“Now, what did I do to deserve that?” Yunho asked as he picked himself up from the floor.

Breakfast had gone without a hitch, except for Sung Woong’s excited chatter. And when Yunho drove him to school, the little boy couldn’t stop fidgeting in his seat.
“Appa, are we there yet? Are we there yet?” Sung Woong kept asking every few seconds and it was driving Jae Joong up the wall.
“Honey, we’ll tell you when we get there!” Jae Joong said exasperatedly. Yunho merely chuckled at the six year old and his parent.
“Appa, you need to drive faster! Umma, tell Appa to drive faster!”
Yunho laughed out loud at the request and at Jae Joong’s face. The man totally didn’t know how to react when his son asked him to say things to Yunho. Yunho caught Jae Joong’s eyes through the rear view mirror and Jae Joong blushed even redder and pretended to look out the window.
It was a whole different story the moment they reached the school. Sung Woong had gone all quiet when he saw the school gates. Sensing that something was wrong with his son, Jae Joong pulled his son to him and ran his hands through the boy’s hair. “Sung Woong, are you scared?” Jae Joong asked. “You know, you can go to school another day if you want. You don’t necessarily have to go today.”
“No, I want to start today. Appa, can we wait inside the car until In Hwan comes? And can both of you and Umma send me to the gate later?” Sung Woong looked hopefully at Yunho.
“I can’t see why not. And both your Umma and I will come to pick you up this evening okay.” Yunho gave the little boy a smile that immediately put the kid to ease. They stayed in the car for five minutes when the unmistakable form of Yoo Chun walking with In Hwan came into view.
“In Hwan is here, Darling.” Yunho said and he opened the rear door and held out his hand for his little boy to hold.
“Sung Woong Hyung!” the cry of three year old In Hwan could be heard from where the three of them was standing and they could see In Hwan escaping from Yoo Chun’s hand and run towards his newly found friend. Jae Joong couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his son with the smaller boy.
“We’re going to have so much fun together, Hyung. I want to show you my new yellow truck Umma got for me yesterday. You want to see it?” In Hwan chattered excitedly. Sung Woong nodded happily and gave a wide smile to his parents before going into the school, courtesy of being pulled by In Hwan.
“They’re going to get pretty tight. Those two.” Yoo Chun said suddenly, the other two men beside him nodding almost simultaneously as they watch the two boys disappear into the school building.
Yoo Chun turned to look at the others and found himself looking at something out his memory. Yunho and Jae Joong standing together just like old times. The word together played in his mind. Both of these souls had been separated for six years just because of love, but the love for that little boy had brought them together. How ironic, he thought.
“Yoo Chun ah!” Yunho’s voice calling him snapped him out of thoughts.
“Yeah. What?”
“He’s still day dreams while standing I see.” Jae Joong said with a smirk, earning a mischievous grin from Yunho.
“Hey, old habits die hard.” Yunho replied.
“Hey, it’s not fair! You guys can’t gang up on me!”
“And he still whines like a baby.”
“Of course. You haven’t seen him when he’s melancholic.”Jae Joong laughed at Yoo Chun’s face. It was totally priceless.
“Anyway, Yoo Chun, I’m not going to office for a week. I have something to do. Can you tell my secretary to send me only the documents that needs to be signed? And, I plan on taking the kids to the amusement park this weekend since that food monster Chang Min said he wants to spend time with the little ones. You okay with that?”
“Sure, I can do that. And I will tell Junsu about the amusement park. “Yunho and Jae Joong smiled at Yoo Chun and began to walk away. “And what are you going to do the whole week?” Yoo Chun asked after them.
“We’re going to paint!” Jae Joong answered cheekily and went with Yunho. Yunho laughed a little and his hand sought out Jae Joong’s. Jae Joong let his hand find Yunho’s and he reveled in the warmth of the other man’s hand. Jae Joong secretly smiled to himself and let Yunho hold him till they reached the car.
The little action didn’t go unnoticed by Yoo Chun and he rapidly blinked his eyes and pinched his arm just to see if he had dreamt that moment. Seeing that it was no dream, he quickly whipped out his cell phone and dialed Junsu’s number.
“What is it Chunnie?” Junsu said the moment he answered the phone.
“Su, I think they’re together. Like, really together.” Yoo Chun said excitedly. He walked jumpily to his car and sat in the driver’s seat, excited shivers going through him.
“What are you talking about? Who is together?”
“Yunho and Jae Joong Hyung! I swear I saw them holding hands just now. And Yunho took a whole week off. And when I asked them what they were going to do for the whole week, Jae Joong Hyung merely said that they were going to pain! I mean, paint what! OH-MY-GOD! Su, could they already be… you know!”
“Park Yoo Chun, are you sure that was what they were doing and that was what Jae Joong Hyung said. Because doesn’t it seem too soon for them to… you know…?”
“I swear! I just can’t believe that this is happening!”
Junsu shrieked at the other end of the line and both partners laughed at the thought of the Yunjae couple already together.
“I’m so going to call Chang Min and tell him! This is AWESOME! Chunnie, you have to come home and spill everything to me.”
Yoo Chun put the key into the ignition and switched the engine on. “I’m already on the way, Babe.”
*
Once inside the car, the atmosphere became slightly awkward. Both Yunho and Jae Joong just realized that this was the first time they have been alone, without Sung Woong between them. It was just the two of them in the car. Yunho cleared his throat and looked at Jae Joong beside him. His heart was beating so fast and his mouth became dry. For once in his life, he didn’t know what to say.
Jae Joong was having the same problem and he was nervous. He hadn’t been with Yunho alone for a long time and that simple touch just now had left him thinking of endless possibilities. Finally, Yunho took mercy on him and initiated the conversation.
“So, how are we going to decorate the little squirt’s room? Dragons and castles and Prince U Know?”
Jae Joong’s ears turned red at the last words. “I told Sung Woong that I couldn’t draw a dragon, but I can draw another thing that he likes. Sung Woong likes sports cars and I thought I might draw cars and a race track in his room. What do you think?”
“I think I love that idea. And if that is what my son likes, then I’m more than up for it.”
“Your… your son?” Jae Joong stuttered. He didn’t expect that to come out of Yunho’s mouth and panic was rising inside him.
Yunho merely nodded. “Yes, he’s my son as much as he’s yours. Like I told you Jae Joongie, he may not be my biological son. But as long as he is alive, I am his father and he is my son. He even calls me Appa from the first moment we met. Can’t I call him my son?”
Jae Joong let out a sigh of relief but his heart swelled at the thought that Yunho cared that much about that little boy. “I guess you are right. So what are we going to do now? Buy paint?”
“Yeah. What color does he like?”
“Red. He likes the color red. Is your favorite color still red, Yunho?”
“Yup. Let’s go to the mall.”
The couple had so much fun buying all the paint and ordering furniture at the mall. Jae Joong was found Yunho irritatingly funny because he kept getting unnecessary stuff which Jae Joong had to tell him to put it back numerous times. Jae Joong rubbed his chest each time Yunho took something and asked if they needed it. Yunho would just smile cheekily and go to put it back.
When it came to paying for their things, Jae Joong found so many things that he didn’t need but he thought he might as well humor Yunho. As they were walking towards their car, Yunho suddenly saw something that caught his eye and told Jae Joong to wait outside for a while. He didn’t let Jae Joong follow him and told him to wait outside.
“What did you get?” Jae Joong asked as they put the things into the car.
“His bed. And I want to surprise both of you.” Yunho said cheekily. Jae Joong rolled his eye. It was just typical of Yunho to be so secretive. But somehow, Jae Joong found it endearing.
Jae Joong looked at the clock and found that it was time for them to pick Sung Woong from school. They found their son playing reading a book with another child and the teacher was waiting for Jae Joong and Yunho to come so that she could have a word with them.
“Hi, Honey.” Jae Joong kissed his son when they entered the classroom and the kid became excited and hugged both Jae Joong and Yunho.
“Seonsaengnim, this is my Umma and this is my Appa.” Sung Woong said proudly to his teacher, who couldn’t seem to peel her eyes off the two men in front of her.
“I’m sorry. I’m Han Byul, I’m Sung Woong’s form teacher. I just want to say that your son is a very smart boy and he makes friends quickly. We are glad to have a student like him.” The teacher told the two men.
“I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you very much. Um, we need to get going. Thank you again Han Seonsaengnim.” Yunho took Sung Woong’s hand and together the three of them walked out of the school.
“Umma, today I played with In Hwan and this kid called-“ Sung Woong began to tell his parents of the things that he had done in school that day and Yunho was just as excited as the little boy, not knowing what to expect to come out from the child’s mouth.
Five minutes before they reached their house, Sung Woong fell asleep out of sheer excitement and exhaustion of the day.
“I was just about to ask him to paint with us, but I guess it’s only the two of us. He’s dead beat.” Yunho said as he carried the sleeping child out of the car. Jae Joong carried his son’s bag and together they entered the house.
“Go put Sung Woong on the bed first. I’ll make for you tea and we can start to paint after that.” Jae Joong went to the kitchen while Yunho went upstairs to put Sung Woong. As Jae Joong was making tea, he realized that his life was very typical of the average family. Here he was, making tea for Yunho. THE Yunho whom he loves with all his heart and upstairs, the man was putting his little boy on his bed.
Their little boy. Jae Joong couldn’t help but smile at that as he absent mindedly stir the tea. Life had never been so domestic.
The sound of Yunho’s footsteps coming nearer made Jae Joong jump a little and he quickly took out two cups and poured the tea. Yunho came into the kitchen not five seconds later, already changed into a white shirt and another shirt was in his hand. Yunho stood near Jae Joong and waited patiently as he Jae Joong poured the tea. Jae Joong could smell Yunho’s cologne even though it was faint, and he was intoxicated.
“I brought you one of my old shirts for you so you don’t have to ruin any of yours.” Yunho said almost shyly as he handed Jae Joong the shirt. Both of them blushed when they caught each other’s eyes and Jae Joong was the first one to break the contact by giving Yunho his tea. Their hands accidentally brushed together when Jae Joong assed Yunho his tea and the action caused electricity to run through their bodies.
“Tha… thank you Jae Joong.” Yunho stammered and they drank their tea in silence. After Yunho finished his tea he got up and washed his own cup, making Jae Joong intrigued by the behavior. Maybe Yunho had been living alone for too long that he had learned to do things by himself automatically.
“I will wait for you in Sung Woong’s room.” Yunho said with an awkward smile and he left the kitchen. Jae Joong was left looking at the shirt with mixed feeling. He couldn’t believe that he was holding Yunho’s shirt. He could still smell Yunho’s unique scent despite the floral smell of laundry detergent.
“Might as well listen to the big man.” Jae Joong muttered to himself and went to change his shirt.
Yunho laid out the sheets and opened the cans of paint, taking the brushes all the other things that they might need. He was just setting the sheet over the floor when his eyes caught the sight at the door. Jae Joong was standing in the doorway, smoothing the hem of the shirt. Yunho gulped and had to breathe in and out a couple of times to stop himself from drooling at the sight of Jae Joong I his shirt. Damn the man was fine!
“Oh, you set the things already. Shall we start?” Jae Joong asked with a bright smile on his face. Yunho could only manage a nod and let Jae Joong take the brush from his hand. Yunho rapidly blinked his eyes and started to copy Jae Joong and it was not long later when they started painting the room.
The two men worked in silence for the first half an hour but they kept stealing glances at each other. At last Jae Joong got bored and seeing Yunho so deep in concentration made him feel naughty. Jae Joong crept silently to Yunho’s side and called his name.
“Yunho ya~” Yunho turned at the call but found his cheek being smeared with white paint as he turned to look at Jae Joong. Jae Joong laughed his heart out at Yunho’s expression.
“Very funny, Kim Jae Joong.” Yunho said as he rolled his eyes and Jae Joong laughed even more. Yunho took the opportunity to take revenge by smearing some red paint onto Jae Joong’s nose.
“Ha-ha, got you now!” Yunho said triumphantly, making Jae Joong cross eyes when he looked at his red nose. “Clowns are supposed to make people laugh, and now you look like one.”
“Oh, you’re so dead Jung Yunho!” Jae Joong exclaimed and the two men ran all over the room as they tried to paint each other. It was the first time after so long that they were laughing just because of being together and there were no prohibitions to their feelings. They were just purely having fun with each other and it made them pant happily when they called a truce.
“I think we painted ourselves more than we painted the room.” Yunho said breathlessly as he lay panting beside Jae Joong.
“I couldn’t agree more. And thank you for the experience of being painted.” They looked into each other and laughed again. Somehow, the awkwardness that they had felt all this while dissipated and they were for once, comfortable in each other’s presence.
*
Over the next few days, the two men finished painting and furnishing the room and all that was left was the bed, which Yunho didn’t let Jae Joong and Sung Woong see. On the day that they were supposed to meet the others at the amusement park, Yunho decided to let them quench their curiosity.
Sung Woong excitedly went to unwrap the bed and Jae Joong stood beside Yunho, watching his son revealing his bed. When it was finally unwrapped, it was a single sized bed in the shape of a sports car. And the best part was, it was red in color.
“WOW!” sung Woong said, his eyes going as big as saucers when he saw his bed and he quickly climbed up to it and laid down. “Appa, I love it so much!” the little boy shrieked.
“Yunnie, that is so… so…” Jae Joong said, trying to find the right words to say.
“What did you just call me?” Yunho asked, hoping that he hadn’t misheard Jae Joong. The other man just blushed and decided that his shoes was interesting.
“I called you… Yunnie?” Jae Joong mumbled and Yunho broke out into a smile and he gently took Jae Joong’s hand and squeezed it. “Thank you for the compliment, Joongie.”
Sung Woong chose to run to them at that moment and hugged Yunho’s knees. “I love you, Appa. Thank you for all this.” if Jae Joong calling him Yunnie had surprised him, the little boy saying he loved him made Yunho feel like exploding in happiness.
“I love you too, Baby Boy.” Yunho crouched down and gave the little boy a proper hug. Jae Joong was drowning in the moment, his emotions soaring seeing the two most important people in his life together like that.
“Now, what do you say we go and tell In Hwan about it at the amusement park?” Yunho asked and Sung Woong screamed at the top of his lungs while running to get his shoes.
“You’re going to spoil him rotten.” Jae Joong said as they left the house. Yunho merely smirked and got into the car.
*
As soon as the black Audi parked beside Yunho’s car, Sung Woong began to bounce and get all excited.
“Umma, it’s Uncle Min and Uncle Minho! Omo, even Si Chul is here!” Sung Woong exclaimed happily. Siwon and Hee Chul exited from the car first and Sung Woong bounded out of the car and went to Hee Chul just to see the baby girl in Hee Chul’s arms.
“Annyeong Sin Chul ah. It’s me, your Sung Woong Oppa.” Sung Woong said softly and ran a finger through the little girl’s cheeks. Si Chul looked at Sung Woong with her big eyes that she had inherited from her Umma and as soon as Sung Woong touched her cheek, she gave a high pitched shriek and gave a toothless grin.
“Hey, little squirt! You’re so happy to see Si Chul you forgot all about us huh?” Chang Min said as he unfolded his incredibly long legs from the back seat.
“Uncle Min!” Sung Woong whined and went to hug his Uncle Minho and Uncle Min. Jae Joong and Yunho merely looked at their son and all they could do was just beam at him.
“So, where is Junsu? I thought he was here already?” Hee Chul asked as he pushed a pacifier into Si Chul’s mouth.
“I’m here!” In Hwan’s voice could be heard from a far and they could all see the little boy running towards them, pulling Junsu with him.
So the brood was at last complete and they all headed towards the amusement park, Chang Min being the first one to enter the place.
“This is so awesome, right Minho?” Chang Min asked, his eyes going big looking at the rides. His mind had already chosen which rides he wanted to take.
“Yeah. Awesome! I think we should ride the Vikings first.” Minho said, his eyes glued to the ride.
“Siwon Darling, I think Si Chul wants her Appa. I’m going to stick with Minho and Chang Min. I want to take the rides.” Hee Chul passed his daughter to a shocked Si Won and stood beside the 2min couple with a cheeky smile on his face.
“Su and I also want to take the rides, but I don’t think the kids can take all the rides.”
“Oh, don’t worry about the kids. I think Yunho and I can take care of them. And Si Won, you can give Si Chul to me. You and Hee Chul can take the rides together.” Jae Joong offered, much to Si Won’s relief.
“Thanks, Hyung.” Si Chul gurgled happily at Jae Joong as her Appa passed her and Yunho took her bag from Hee Chul.
“Her diapers and milk formula are all in the bag. Thanks a mill, Hyung!”
“I want to stay with Sung Woong Hyung.” In Hwan said, looking at Yoo Chun hopefully.
“Fine. But you have to promise that you’ll behave and help Uncle Yunho and Jae Joong ok.” Yoo Chun said, giving his right pinky.
“I promise, Appa.” The little boy said, giving his father a toothy grin and hooked his father’s pinky.
So the Yunjae couple were left with the children but they didn’t complain one bit. In fact they enjoyed taking the kids for a ride. Sung Woong and In Hwan had loads of fun on the ride, and Yunho couldn’t stop taking pictures of the kids. Shot after shot he took of them and he also couldn’t stop taking pictures of Jae Joong with Si Chul whenever the guy was not looking. Yunho imagined Jae Joong carrying their new born baby.
‘What a thought, Jung Yunho.” He thought to himself. In Hwan and Sung Woong wanted to ride a train ride, but In Hwan couldn’t ride without an adult accompanying him. So Yunho volunteered to play parent and the three of them rode the ride, Jae Joong laughing and taking pictures of them three.
‘Yunho would make a wonderful father even if we have more kids. Omo, did I just say we, and more kids? Seriously Kim Jae Joong, you need to get a grip on yourself.’ Jae Joong thought. Suddenly, they could hear a loud scream that definitely had come from Chang Min and he laughed out loud.
At last, after two hours the others came back and In Hwan and Sung Woong kept telling everyone about their rides. Sung Woong suddenly stopped short in front of a stall and pulled Yunho’s pants.
“Appa, can you win me that bear. I heard once that Umma likes that kind of bear. So can you do it for me?” Sung Woong asked innocently.
Yunho looked at a blushing Jae Joong and smiled. “Of course, Baby. Wait here.” Yunho went to the stall and went to shoot the ducks. He hit the five ducks with precision and he won the bear.
“Here you go, Jae Joong.” Jae Joong blushed and took it, muttering a thank you. Chang Min wolf whistled and the others merely gave smirks and grins, all with one thought in mind.
The Yunjae couple are really back.
