my baby boy : doil

25. Ramen

Doyoung sat back in his car parked a few blocks away from Taeil's house. He told Mr.Yi to start driving. He sighed, and smiled to himself. He really didn't expect to act that way towards the older, but when he saw Taeil's face, he could tell something was wrong and he felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know how he knew, or why he felt sad, but all he could think of was making Taeil feel better. This was the first time Doyoung realised how much Taeil meant to him. Seeing him sad made his blood boil, and whoever made the older feel that way was was going to hell if they ever met Doyoung. Doyoung had mixed emotions he was feeling right now. He felt happy to be able to hug Taeil, but he was nervous too. What if Taeil had hated him touching the older? What if Taeil never talked to him again? Doyoung tried to shake of these thoughts as he didn't want to be sad. 

The car soon came to a stop, and Doyoung went out the car and into the flower shop. He then brought a bouquet of red roses, along with a few tulips. Doyoung thanked the receptionist and carried the bag of flowers back to his car. Mr.Yi then took him home. 

"Areum!~ I'm home" Doyoung called out, as he took off his shoes and placed the flowers on the floor. He then bent down, smiling when he saw a small figure running towards him. He was engulfed into a big hug, and he lifted Areum and spinned her around. The little girl giggled in his arms, telling him to put her down. He did as told, and put his hands inside the bag.

"Look what I got you!" Doyoung said, as he showed the tulips into his daughters hands. Areum gasped as she took a hold of the flowers.

"My favourite flowers!" Areum squealed out. She then hugged her father once again in gratitude. Areum pulled out and ran towards the kitchen to place the beautiful white flowers in her favourite pot.

"Wait for me!" Doyoung called out, and rushed to help Areum. The two then admired the blue pot holding bright white flowers on the middle of the table. 

"So, what does my little angel want to eat?" Doyoung asked, as he loosened the grip of the tie around his neck. Areum pouted, and whined about how she didn't like Doyoung's cooking. But when he glared at her, she quickly quietened down.

"I know you don't like my food, I don't either, but since Taeil isn't here we don't have a choice do we?" Doyoung told Areum, and found himself pout too. Areum giggled at her father's childish behaviour, and quickly stood on her chair to pat his head.

"Oh it's ok Daddy, I was just joking! No one in the world can make better ramen then you!" Areum reassuringly told the tall male. Doyoung smiled, and quickly pulled the girl into his hold, rubbing her tummy. Areum's laugh soon filled the empty house.

"Oh do I? How about I make some for you?" Doyoung said, as he safely put Areum back down on her chair. Areum happily nodded, and swung her legs back and forth as she watched Doyoung take out the 'ramen pot'. The two always had ramen in that pot, therefore the name. 

"I miss papa too" Areum said, smirking when she saw the look on Doyoung's face change. The girl might be little, but she knew her father very well. She could tell he had gone to meet her papa, because he couldn't spend a single day without seeing his face. "How is he?"

Doyoung looked back at Areum in surprise, the glass of water floating above the pan in his hands. 

"How do you know-" Doyoung asked, stopping mid sentence when he saw Areum smirk. He felt heat rush to his cheeks when he realised even his child saw his obvious crush on the male who wasn't here cooking for them. Doyoung then coughed, and went back to pouring the cold water into the pan. He then turned it on, and pulled out three packets of ramen. Areum too stayed quite after, letting her father cook in peace. When Doyoung was done, he placed the pot in front of Areum, handing her a pair of chopsticks and bowl as well. He then took a seat on Areum's left, mixing the ramen a little. Areum happily ate her ramen, but Doyoung just sat there, thought's drifting back to a particular male. But he shook his head, and decided to enjoy his time with Areum. The two then went to watch a movie, Areum soon falling asleep on the couch. Doyoung took the girl to her bedroom, and tucked her in for the day. 

When he was changing out his work clothes, he wondered what Taeil was doing, and if the older was ok. Doyoung had been thinking about his car ride from before, and if he actually fell in love. Guess he'll find out tomorrow. He had decided that if he saw the older the next morning and his heart beat increased, or he felt happy, it meant he definitely loved him.
