Morgan jolt from her sleep, quickly turning to Hwa, whose relentlessly calling her. "What's wrong love?" She gently pulled him to her, putting her palm on his forehead. She groan as she put the back of her hand on his neck, confirming if he really is too hot for his normal temperature. Hwa kept on whimpering, making her worried. She carry him, out of the room, Seonghwa who got awakened; confused, followed them.

Morgan turn on the lights, and bring Hwa on the kitchen, making him sit on the table. "Is everything okay?" Seonghwa asked, standing beside her. Checking Hwa.

"He's got fever." Morgan went to open one of the cabinets, grabbing a bottle of syrup for Hwa's fever. She left to the living area, rummaging through the messy drawer. She took out a thermometer, Seonghwa taking it from her to help her check Hwa's temperature. When the result came out, Morgan pour the syrup in the teaspoon. "Open your mouth, so your fever will go away." Hwa did as told, swallowing the orange flavor syrup.

Seonghwa grabbed a glass of water, making Hwa drink it slowly. "Do you want more?" Hwa shook his head, raising his arms asking for his mommy to get him. As Morgan carry him, he put his head on her shoulder closing his eyes.

"Mommy let's go to sleep," he sounded like pleading. "Daddy, where are you? Don't leave."

"I'm just here." Seonghwa showed up to him, making him smile. They go back to bed, and not long after, the three fell asleep again. In the morning, Morgan woke up early, probably a mother's instinct. She check Hwa's temperature again, while he was asleep and was glad to know it lower, yet it's still high but not as last night. She put a cooling patch on his forehead, to lower the heat on Hwa's body. She stood beside the bed, smiling at the sight of Seonghwa sleeping beside her son.

She's earlier than Charlotte, that she finished making breakfast before even Charlotte got out of her room. "Wow~ I smell something here," Charlotte headed to kitchen sniffing the air, while her hand on her head, holding the towel she used to dry her hair. "Ahh, I smelled inspired lady on the kitchen." She throw Morgan a teasing look, snorting as she dodge the kitchen towel on her. "Now what's the tea?" Charlotte took out a chair, sitting with her one foot on her chair and wiggle her eyebrows.

"You guess it."

Charlotte's eyes narrowed, trying to guess. "Uhm... Seonghwa will live here?" Morgan's face drop, giving Charlotte a bored look. "Seonghwa.. asked you to live with him?... Okay, I'll take that as a no." She chew her lower lip, thinking deeply. "You two are good now?" She stated unsurely.

Morgan nodded, smiling a little. "Yes, and there's more."

"He asked you out?" Morgan nodded. Charlotte gasped. She covered her mouth with her two hands in surprised. "For real?!" Her voice did raised a little, but not too loud to reach the room, where the two are still sleeping. "Finally!!! Congrats!" Charlotte giggle, putting down her foot on the ground, running to her room. "I'll be back." While Charlotte is on her room, Morgan went to wake up Seonghwa and Hwa.

She closed the door behind her silently, taking a short time to enjoy watching her son cuddle up with his father. Inhaling enough courage, she went to tap their shoulder. "Wakey wakey ~" They groan at the same time, making Morgan chuckle. She walk on the side, sitting on the bed.

"Good morning daddy," Hwa looked up to his daddy, and smiled happily. Morgan cleared her throat, causing for Hwa to turn around. "Good morning mommy!" He get up, throwing himself to Morgan.

"For the first time, you greeted me good morning. You only greet your daddy." Morgan huffed, tickling Hwa. Seonghwa smiled at the sight, capturing every moment with them. "Let's go wash up the face and brush your teeth." She carries him, glancing at Seonghwa. She flashed him a soft smile. "Good morning, let's go?" She offered her hand, which Seonghwa gladly took and sit up to get out of the bed. They went to the bathroom, Seonghwa and Hwa having fun while brushing their teeth in front of the mirror. They laugh, giggle, taking their time as Morgan watch them in happiness.

"My favorite!" Hwa squeal pointing the sunny-side-up egg. Morgan take him from Seonghwa, and made him seat on his chair, that is now in between them. Surely, Charlotte's idea. "Did you cook all these aunt?" He glance at his aunt, with eyes fluttering.

"Nope, your mommy did."

"Really?" Hwa turn to his mommy, giving her a hug. "Thank you mommy!" He kissed her cheek, giggling as Seonghwa put a pieces of eggs and sausages on their plates. Charlotte who was across them, watch like a proud mother of Seonghwa. Hwa take her spoon from his plate, handing it to his daddy. "Pwease?" Seonghwa chuckle, nodding as he took the spoon, feeding his son who's delightful. "Mommy, let's go to mall today, pwease?" He requested.

It was seen on Morgan's face that, she will refuse but Charlotte's already squinting her eyes on Morgan. "Morgan, just give his request. He's been waiting for this day to come, one day leave won't hurt." She tried her best to sound convincing, she also hopes for Seonghwa to agree. "Right, Seonghwa?"

"Yeah, I have no problem with that. I can just call Eric, to inform." He shrugged. Hwa glance at his mommy expectantly. He know his daddy agreed, and it's his mommy's turn to do the same.

"Come on, Morgan, you've been workaholic all your life, give this day a break for your son. Spend your day together." Charlotte told her.

Morgan sighed in defeat. "Sure, why not?" She turn to Hwa, and peck his cheek. "I won't say no to my baby here." Hwa bounce on his seat happily, telling his aunt Charlotte, to call his unlce Hongjoong, because he's coming with them to mall. She told him, they don't have to, as they will come soon.

And that soon, arrives quicky than they thought. A couple of minutes after having their breakfast, Charlotte's expected guests came knocking on their door. Seonghwa went to open the door, for him to get surprised. "Ohh.." he utter in disbelief. He opened the door widely, letting them in. As soon as they stepped a foot inside, it went noisy.

"So the news is right!" Nara exclaimed, talking about Seonghwa who she greeted. And went to go to Hwa. "My looooove, come here."

"Waaah, it's been a long time." Yunho shakes his head, giving Seonghwa a hug, later joining Nara to bugging Hwa with all their might. Hongjoong give him a quick raised of his eyebrows, with a grin. Then last Dorothy.

"Hello, Seonghwa."

He awkwardly smile, waving his hand a little, closing the door. He joined them on the crowded living area, smiling in disbelief. They were so loud. "Hwa, where's aunt's kiss?" Nara asked, pointing her cheek. Hwa shook his head, saying no to her, that made her gasped, giving a playfully point look to Hwa. "I'm gonna cry." She pouted, making Hwa smile cheekily. He got up from sitting, putting the lego parts he's trying to build aside, and tiptoe to kiss Nara's cheek. When his lips left her cheek, Nara immediately envelop Hwa in her arm, nuzzling to his neck. Hwa shrink on her arms, laughing at how Nara tickle him.

"Nara, that's enough, I want a kiss from Hwa too." Yunho apprise to Nara, who let go of Hwa. The poor little boy, pant as he catch his breath. Yunho beckon Hwa, smiling at him. He wipe his sweat, chuckling at Hwa's miserable face. "Did aunt took your breath away?" Hwa nodded, breathing loudly. He smiled at Yunho and peck his cheek.

"How about me?" Dorothy beamed with open arms. Hwa giggle, running to her arms. She nestle her head to Hwa, smiling widely. She pulled away, pecking on Hwa's head. "Our little boy is big now," she giggle. She glance at Seonghwa, pointing him and look back at Hwa. "Who is he?" She give him confused look.

Hwa hop towards his daddy, humming. "This is daddy!" Seonghwa lowered his body, taking Hwa off the ground. Hwa giggle, embracing his daddy, and plant a long kiss on his cheek, before hugging him again. Everyone coo at his action, feeling emotional.

"This is so sad." Yunho wiped his fake tears, receiving a look from the rest. He look at them, acting clueless and shrug. "What?"

"Where's sad on that part?" Charlotte asked, giving him flat face. Hongjoong who was watching them, facepalm as he shook his head.

"Everything." Yunho retort, only to receive a smack from Charlotte. He whined, rubbing his head, though it wasn't hard. "I was just kidding." Hwa laugh at him, making him smile again. He took Hwa from Seonghwa, sitting him down on the floor, as they continue to build the lego.

"Uncle Hongjoong, me, mommy and daddy will go to mall today!" Hwa happily informed them.

"How about us?" Nara asked.

Hwa look up, thinking. "Uhm, okay." He shrug his little shoulder. Yunho chuckle pinching his cheek.
