kim chaewon › king (pt. three)

The next day, as soon as you woke up, you checked on Junseo, who was still asleep and cuddled into your side. You had slept in between Junseo and Chaewon to ensure that Junseo was comfortable, seeing as the child clearly didn't like it when people other than you touched him. But he seems to be warming up quickly, because last night, he allowed Chaewon to pat his back.

Chaewon woke up shortly after you. She sat up and leaned over to kiss your cheek. "Is Junseo okay?" She asked. She was worried about the little boy and his physical state.

You nodded and revealed Junseo's face. The young boy looked peaceful in his slumber, his face completely relaxed. What saddened you both was the large bruise on the side of his forehead. It made your hearts ache when you thought about what Junseo went through for two whole years.

Chaewon rubbed your arm. "He'll get better and stronger in no time, baby girl," she murmured before pecking your lips.

"We should get up," you suggested. "We have to get him some stuff."

Chaewon nodded, and then the both of you got up to get yourselves and Junseo ready.

「  銀  」

Junseo was looking around in amazement at everything that you passed in the store. It was so bright and colorful everywhere, and he couldn't help but be in awe about every little thing.

Unsurprisingly, he was in your arms. Chaewon was pushing around a cart, and you trailed behind her, occasionally putting things into the basket.

You got clothes and a few fun toys to keep the six-year-old busy.

"Are you having fun here, Junnie?" You asked the little boy.

Junseo nodded his head, a shy smile gracing his lips. "Mhm."

You grinned. "Good."

"I think we're good on everything," Chaewon spoke up. You nodded.

As you were walking to the checkout, you had an idea. You really wanted Junseo to get used to other people touching him and holding him, just so that he wouldn't always be scared of the idea. You didn't want Junseo to be scared at home. It hurts your heart.

"Hey, Junnie," you called out quietly. Junseo looked up at you. "Can I hand you to Chaewonnie? Is that alright? I need to do something on my phone. She won't hurt you, I promise. I believe you can do it. You're a strong boy." You smiled softly at him.

Junseo pouted and looked over at Chaewon, who was busy pushing the cart. After a few pensive moments, Junseo nodded, biting down on his bottom lip.

Your comforting smile never faltered. You tapped Chaewon's shoulder.

"Babe, is it okay if you hold Junseo? He agreed to let you hold him," you explained to the older.

Chaewon immediately broke out into an adorable, wide grin as she nodded enthusiastically. She opened her arms. Slowly but surely, Junseo left your arms and timidly allowed Chaewon to pick him up. Chaewon held the boy securely, settling him on her hip and looking at him with adoration swimming in the depths of her eyes. Junseo clutched her shirt tightly as the two of them held eye contact.

"You okay, bud?" Chaewon asked quietly. "Are you comfortable?"

Junseo nodded his head, before resting it on Chaewon's shoulder and wrapping an arm around her neck.

"You're doing well, Jun," Chaewon murmured.

Junseo smiled to himself and closed his eyes, holding onto Chaewon tightly.

「  銀  」

"We're home," you called out as you, Chaewon, and Junseo stepped into the house.

The three of you, after you were done shopping for Junseo, went out to eat and get frozen yogurt. Needless to say, you and Chaewon grew closer to Junseo somehow. None of you really know how to explain it, but you just… feel close. It may seem fast, but Junseo genuinely feels like a son to you.

Somi came up to the three of you. "Everyone's eating lunch right now. Do you need any help with the bags?" She questioned.

Chaewon nodded. "There's only two more in the back seat, could you grab them?"

"Yep!" Somi exclaimed. But then she noticed something, and it caused a small smile to grace her lips. "I see Junseo is getting comfortable, yeah?" She said softly.

You and Chaewon looked at each other and smiled. "Yeah," you responded. "He seems to really like Chaewon. I was worried that he would only let me touch him, and I didn't want him to live like that," you said quietly.

You then patted Junseo's head. "Hey, Junnie. Tomorrow, do you want to try letting Somi-unnie hold you?" You questioned softly as you pointed at Somi.

Junseo shyly nodded. He seems to be warming up quickly. Quicker than any of them thought.

Under all of his fear, what Junseo really craved was love. Affection and safety. And you and the others were providing him with that. It made him happy, something he hasn't felt in ages.

"Our cute little Junnie," you cooed, taking the boy from Chaewon.

Somi patted Chaewon's back before walking outside to get the remaining bags from their car after the ravenette handed her the keys.

Chaewon placed a hand on your lower back as you both walked to the kitchen. You took a seat next to Daisy, and Chaewon sat across from you, next to Jisoo. You and Chaewon offered one another a smitten smile. You couldn't help but feel happy about the situation you've found yourselves in. You've quickly found yourselves fond of Junseo.

Junseo sat in your lap as you fed him, and everyone quickly fell into conversation, and laughs were shared.

But a few minutes later, Junseo did something that shocked everyone. He made grabby hands towards Nayeon, whose eyes widened. But she didn't hesitate to get up and carefully pick up the young boy.

Once he was settled on Nayeon's hip, Junseo looked into the woman's eyes.

"H-Hot choco, pl-… please?" He asked quietly.

Everyone's eyes widened.
