Ch-13: Growth Spurt

TW: Breastfeeding (is this a trigger?),  mild sexual references

"Papa, how many meanings does nursing have?"

"A word can have multiple meanings right? Like how in Korean snow and eye have the same word"

"Is there are a word for it?"

"In English similar sounding words are called homonyms. They'd sound the same but have different meaning. Like the word you said, nursing. One meaning is to tend to wounds, like what Wooyoung's mom used to do. You went to their place for Christmas right?"

"Yes! Aunty was so nice. Uncle Woo's father was a little scary. I know this meaning of nursing what's the other? It had something to do with a mother"

"Ah yes, human babies are born without teeth so they can't have solid food until 2 or-"

"They can't be void of nutrition since they need to grow so they're given mother's milk instead" he completed.

"Wow you really have been reading San's books. I didn't know he had biology"

"He doesn't Papa, don't be funny. Why would he have to do biology?"

"You read up online?"

"Yes! I found an online book for 9th graders"

"Seonghwa you're barely 9"

"I don't age like humans, Uncle San is only a little over 2 years"

"Sure sure, Papa is proud of you. When the mother breastfeeds the child, it's called nursing"

"Is it because they're taking care by nourishing the child?"

"In a sense I think yes"

"Why is it only when they're a kid?"

"Huh?"

"Producing milk is temporary?"

"Ah, yes. It only happens briefly before and after pregnancy. If you want to talk about stuff like this, you should ask Woo. He knows better"

"Is it because he's studying to be a dentist so he needs to study the human body?"

"Ya, something like that"

"By that logic Uncle San would be lactating?"

"Oh you knew the word-"

"Yes, I've been studying hard"

"Yes, he would be lactating"

"Can I have some?"

"Huh?"

"C-can I have some milk?'

"F-from San like- m-mother's milk?" you stuttered. 

That- that was a thought you've never had. You mentally bonked yourself. He didn't mean it sexually and you knew it yet your brain went back to her. Ugh! You've made your brain a dirty place. It's probably just the hormones but you wish you could go back to being innocent sometimes. 

"It-It's n-not my body. You'd have to ask San and maybe Woo for consent. The milk is for Umbrella"

"I wanted to ask why did you name her Umbrella. Isn't it weird to be named after an object?"

You bent your knees and brushed his hair. 

"Do know what they're names sound put together?" you questioned him.

"Wooyoung San?"

"Make it cuter"

"Woosan?"

"Do you what that translates to in English?"
