Chapter 51






Haechan sits with his father in the indoor garden.

"I missed this place. It was actually my favorite part of the house. I used to come here all the time." Mujin says, reminiscing as he stares at the lively garden in awe.

"I only come here for the swing." Haechan smiles. His father laughs, patting his son's head.

"I guess the swing is good too."

"Dad. . ." Haechan calls, his bright smile now turning into an awkward smile. "I'm scared of what will happen when you leave. . . But it's not safe here." He says.

Mujin presses his lips into a thin line but he nods, understandingly. "I know. I'm glad I got to spend these last two days with you. You know this is the most time I've spent with you in so many years?!" He expresses, whole heartedly.

"Yeah. . ." Haechan giggles.

Mujin hugs his son tightly. "I wish I could see you everyday but you know your mother will never allow that." He sighs. Haechan nods, sadly.

"Do you think she'll ever come around?" Haechan questions.

"Who knows."

Haechan pulls away from his father's embrace. "Stay here." He says, leaving his father dumbfounded as he rushes back inside.

Soon he comes out with a bag, clearly a present. He sits down as he hands it to his dad.

"For me?"

"Of course."

Mujin opens It, pulling out a beautiful drawing of him and his son together.

"I drew it with Taeyong hyung. I also got a selfie of us framed and if you look in the bag once again, I made you your favorite sugar cookies." Haechan grins, proudly.  Mujin lips quiver as tears fill his eyes as he stares at the drawing. He hugs his son once again.

"Oh Haechan. . .my sweet boy." He coos. "You're my son. Just know I'll always love you no matter where I am. I'm proud of you." He says.

"Stop, dad, you're going to make me cry." Haechan laughs, pulling away. "Can- Can we go get boba before you leave?" He asks.

"Of course, son. What is boba though?" Mujin asks with a nervous laugh.

Haechan stares at his dad in astonishment. "Um. . .oh, interesting. You don't have to worry, you're going to love it. Me and Taeyong hyung get boba all the time." He says, getting up to leave.

"You keep bringing up this Taeyong hyung. You two seem close. How long have you known each other? What's he like?" Mujin questions.

"He's amazing, oh my god. I'm telling you once you get to know him, it's like you've befriended an angel, I'm telling you." Haechan explains.

Mujin chuckles. "That sounds wonderful."

Ten runs into the door, putting his whole body weight into it but to no avail, only ending up on the floor with his body aching.

"Damnit." He sighs as he sits back down on the bed.

Soon, Jaehyun comes in with a tray of food. "Well, you seem to have been keeping yourself busy. Sorry there isn't much to do. I need to make sure you don't run away." He jests.

"Wow, Jaehyun. I wonder why I would run away!?" Ten rolls his eyes.

"I got you something. I thought you might be hungry."
