The First Snow - WooSan

Chapter 32

❄️❄️❄️

"We are back~", San let his mother know as soon as they entered through the front door.

"Right on time children. Come wash your hands. Food's ready", San's mother peeked from the kitchen door and let them know with the sweetest smile on her face.
Wooyoung and San helped her to arrange all the silver wear as she had already served the food on to the table.

Finally, all three of them sat down to have lunch. The table was filled with so many home made foods; stir-fried noodles, grilled beef, kimbap, spring rolls and sweet rice cakes as dessert.
The two boys enjoyed the food as much San's mother enjoyed watching them eating, while listening to their lovely complements into each bite.

"How did you like it here so far, darling?", San's mother asked Wooyoung, as she served more grilled beef onto both boys plates.

"Out there it felt like a whole different world Omma. Everything is so beautiful", Wooyoung chimed.

"I bet San took you to see the stream. Am I right, San-ah?"

"Ah, yes Omma. You know how much I love that place "

"Yes, I do sweet heart. I am happy that you are back again to visit those places you love. I missed you so much"

"Ah, Omma~ I promise I'll visit you next time to stay longer", San pouted.

"It's okay my baby. Since You are here with Wooyoung now, we can still have a great time while you two stay. Right Wooyoung-ah?"

"Yes, Omma. I am already enjoying the stay here", Wooyoung nodded and looked at the older boy with a shy, little smile.

The rest of the day went with lots of laughter, little chit chats echoing inside the warm cozy house, followed by another delicious course of dinner, just made for the two boys with San's mother's hands. With every passing second, Wooyoung's heart filled with warmth. It had been years since he last felt like he was inside a real home with a family that contained lots of love inside their hearts to gift each member of the family. He really felt like he belongs to a family now; a family that genuinely cared for each other.

At the end of the day, San's mother greeted the two boys a good night with hugs and little kisses on their foreheads, before leaving to her own room to sleep. She never stopped treating them as they were still little boys and neither of the boys were to complain about it. They loved every bit of affection San's mother showed them occasionally.

Once San arrived for bed from changing into his silk pajamas, he found Byeol already fallen asleep inside her comfy little cat-bed, curled up like a big ball of brown fluff.
And there was Wooyoung, sitting by the study table in the room with his head lowered, concentrating hard on something.

As San made his way to check up on the younger boy, he witnessed Wooyoung with the red camellia flower in his hand. He was busy, delicately placing the flower on top of a few tissue papers and laying the petals carefully on the flat surface.

"You are really preserving it~", San said with a little coo in his voice.

"Did you think I was lying when I said that, Sanni?", Wooyoung looked at the latter with a little pout
