My Father Undead || LCF Zombie Apocalypse AU

Biochemist Cale Henituse

"Hey Cale, are you coming home early today?"

The redhead looked at the little girl in front of him who was eating breakfast. Her pale face looking at him in expectation together with a little boy beside her.

"I'll try. Though I can't promise." He answers honestly.

The girl just nodded as the young boy quipped.

"Then, can you bring back fried chicken?"

The young boy, Hong, asks as his sister wiped his face smeared with ketchup.

"Sure. The usual?"

"Mm!"

Cale's lips quirked up as he looked at them fondly before continuing to eat.

"I'll take your blood now, alright? Just think that you were just bitten by an ant."

Cale held the syringe at On's trembling arm and aimed it at her vein.

"Sshh...it's alright..." Cale says with his voice trembling,  betraying his stoic face.

Cale immediately removed the needle after he took a small amount of On's blood and instantly covered it with cotton to stop the bleeding.

"You did a good job On, Hong. Here's a reward." He says and gave them candies.

The redhead stood up as he ruffled both of their heads.

"Behave now, ask your Grandpa Ron or Uncle Beacrox if you need anything alright?"

"Okay Father." Both of them answered as they hugged Cale at each of his side.

Cale smiled at them once again before leaving for work.

Cale opened his eyes to see a white ceiling, a fifteen-year old sleeping child holding his left hand from beside.

The redhead reached and pat Raon with his free hand, and the child just leaned to his touch.

"Long time no see, Young Master-nim."

Cale looked at the old man in confusion, his eyebrows furrowing and asking himself if he knows the elder.

"I know you..." Cale says in a matter of fact tone while looking straight to the old man's eyes.

"Hoh?" Ron muses, the redhead actually looked at him with no ounce of fear.

Cale just ignored Ron's demeanor and asked.

"Can you tell me what I do when I was still alive?"

Ron let out a contemplating hum, scanning the puppy young master in front and the sleeping child beside him.

"You are Cale Henituse, a known biochemist who helps people with your utmost ability."

Cale was silent, waiting for Ron to continue.

"That's it? Surely there's more considering on how the way you act with me."

Ron smiled benignly, "How do I act with you, Young Master?"

Cale raised an eyebrow, "Like a butler."

Ron chuckled but his eyes are cold.

"You are as smart as ever, Young Master-nim."

Cale only squinted his eyes and stared at the old man.

"Before you adopted Raon-nim, you have two children before, Young Master. And you let us take care of them while you go to work."
