Vantae was awakened by the noise made by his mother. Early in the morning, Im Jennie was stomping her feet.
"Oh my God, I'm late, I'm late!" Im Jennue anxiously scratched her head and squatted in front of the closet, with her clothes thrown all over on the ground. As she searched for clothes, she complained to her husband, "Taehyung, why didn't you wake me up earlier! "
"I called you, but you didn't want to get up!" Taehyung looked at her busily looking for clothes, with his hands crossed over his chest. In the corner of his eyes, he saw that his son whom was sleeping in the crib was awake. He walked over, crouched in front of the crib and squeezed his little chin: "Vantae, were you awakened because of your mother?"
(Kim Vantae , nickname; sannie, formal name; Kim Tae-guk.)
When he heard his father call him, Vantae rubbed his eyes and blinked his big lively eyes, looking confused. Then he grabbed his father's palms and rested his cheeks on top and closed his eyes again.
Taehyung's heart momentarily melted.
Im Jennie finally finished choosing her clothes and she put them on quickly. Then, she put sannie's clothes on the crib and said to Taehyung, "Help sannie to change his clothes later and then send him to mama's place. I'm going to school first."
"I'll send you." Taehyung said as he pulled out his arm pillowed by Jeonsan and got up.
"No need, I'll take a taxi by myself, you can pick me up in the afternoon." She grabbed her bag and the breakfast that Taehyung helped her prepare and rushed to the crib to lay a "Muack" on Vantae's  face. Then, she rushed to school like her butt was on fire.
Vantae was kissed and touched his little face with great bliss. But, he found that his mother actually turned around and left. He immediately climbed up, turned over and went down the crib, and chased towards the door with his small bare feet, as he shouted in unclearness, "Ma ...... Ma ......"
With his short legs, he definitely would not be able to catch up. As soon as he climbed up, Im Jennie was already gone.
Taehyung picked him up and held him in his arms. Vantae looked at his dad with grievances: "Mama ......"
"Mama went to school, sannie be good, papa will change your clothes for you ok." Taehyung put Vantae back on the crib, and then picked up the clothes Im Yaoyao placed on the crib to help Vantae wear them.
Vantae immediately forgot about his mother and crawled here and there, not letting his father change his clothes for him.
Taehyung finally managed to catch the little monkey with much difficulty. In the end, Vantae shrank into a ball, making his small hands and legs stiff in that position, thus making Taehyung unable to take off his clothes. Taehyung was afraid of hurting him and didn't dare to use strength. For a long time, the father and son were in a deadlock and the clothes were not changed.
Taehyung finally knew why every time Im Jennie changed clothes for Vantae , she would become an exploding lion, roaring nonstop. Usually, as an audience it looked very amusing, but now that the roaring person has changed to himself, it was completely unamusing anymore!
Taehyung wiped his sweat, tossed the clothes aside, and pretended to be angry: "Kim Vantae, if you make trouble again, I won't help you wear it."
Vantae sat there with his head crooked and looked at his father for a long time. Then, he narrowed his eyes and giggled. He picked up the clothes that were thrown aside, handed them to his father, and softly called out, "Pa ...... Pa ......"
Taehyung wanted to continue to look cold, but this boy was tugging on his sleeve and looking at him pitifully. Thus, he failed to maintain his cold look for long, and took the clothes. Vantae refused to wear it again and rolled around on the bed happily.
Dressing a child was like fighting a war. Taehyung finally understood why Im Jennie was getting more and more irritable now!
After waiting for Vantae to get tired from playing, he could then change his clothes. The boy was still disobedient when wearing shoes, and he kept kicking here and there. In this period, Taehyung's face was kicked several times. He seemed to think it was interesting this way, and two little feet kept treading on his father's face.
It took almost half an hour to get these all done. Taehyung's face had become almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. He had always been proud of his patience and was in danger of breaking this pattern in front of his son.
Maybe he was hungry because after that, Vantae did not make any more trouble. He drank a small bottle of milk obediently. Unlike usually whereby Im Jennie had to coax him for a long time and eventually she would get angry then would he drink it.
Picking up the small naughty monkey that had drank to his fill, Taehyung took the car key and was going to send him to his parents' home opposite.
The couple was busy during the day, so Vantae was usually taken care of by Taehyung's mother during the day and will then be picked up at night to go home.
Although Taehyung's mother was in her early fifties, her looks were well maintained and looked like she was only in her thirties. When she saw Taehyung walking over, carrying her grandson, she immediately smiled and her eyes narrowed to a line. If you speak of who doted on Vantae the most in this big family, it would be none other than Kim mama.
"Where's Jennie?"
"She is going to take an exam today, so she went to school earlier. Mom, today I have to trouble you to take care of Vantae again."
"What trouble? Taking care of my own darling grandson, how is it a trouble? Come, Vantae, let grandma hug!"
Vantae hugged Taehyung's neck tightly and did not let go. No matter how Jeon mama pulled, he didn't let go. Finally, when she grabbed him over to her, he cried aloud at the top of his voice, struggling to return to Taehyung.
The mother and son looked at Vantae, who was crying and was out of breath, and were very distressed. Usually when Im Jennie sent him over, he did not make any noise. Why when it was Tae who sent him here, then did he cry in such a manner?
Kim mama's heart was in pain from his crying, so she asked Taehyung: "Are you going to work today?"
"I'm going to the company in the morning, but I just have to make a short appearance." Taehyung also felt distressed from his crying.
Vantae cried for a while and seeing that it had no effect, he started kicking around in Kim mama's arms. As a result, he got what he wished for and returned to his father's arms.
In fact, children were very good at looking at people's expressions. He was very clear as to whom it will be effective to cry to and to whom it won't be effective to.
In the end, this little devil was placed on the child safety seat at the back seat by Taehyung and brought to work.
When they arrived at the company, the employees felt that it was very fresh to see their boss holding a baby, but they did not guess that it was his son. They only thought that he was a child of a relative or friend, because Taehyung looked so young and looked nothing at all like a married man with children.
Taehyung put away all the things with sharp edges in the office, and then gave Vantae the toys that Kim mama gave him. Seeing that he didn't cry, he started busying with his work.
Vantae had very good sense, and obediently played with the toy. When he saw that his father was gone, he dropped the toy and started to touch everywhere, trying to find something interesting to play with.
After playing for a while alone, the door of the office was suddenly opened, and two women crept in.
Vantae opened his eyes wide and stared at them curiously.
Vantae, who was just one year old, looked like he was carved out of gem. His small face was tender and pink, which made people want to pounce and take a bite out of it. When his pair of big bright eyes, inherited from Jennie, with black and long eyelashes blinked, it tickled people's hearts.
The two female secretaries' hearts instantly melted.
The two approached, and the first secretary asked, "What are you doing, little kid?"
Vantae naturally could not answer her, and just blinked at them.
"So cute." The second secretary covered her face, and then said, "Little kid, who's your dad?"
Vantae finally responded, he slanted his head like he was thinking: "Dad..." Then he said excitedly: "Dad, Ben! Ben!" (stupid)
The two secretaries looked at each other wondering what Vantae meant. It can't be that he was saying his father was "stupid"?
The two then asked who was his mother, but Vantae said, "Go to school". Then, the two continued to inquire about Taehyung's news and Vantae basically just opened his eyes and listened. Occasionally, he murmured a few words but it was all incongruous.
When Taehyung returned, he saw the two secretaries who were supposed to be working at the front desk surrounding his son and talking. When Vantae saw his father, he immediately ran over and hugged his thigh, saying "Ben Ben". Taehyung carried him up and said coldly to the two secretaries: "What are you doing here, aren't you going to go back and work?"
"Yes." The two little secretaries answered obediently, but they casted a sidelong glance at Taehyung from time to time. Taehyung did not look at them anymore as he went out carrying Vantae. Hearing that he was still shouting "Ben ben", he squeezed his little nose: "Say Baba." (papa)
"Ben Ben!"
"Say Baba!"
The father and son quarreled with each other as if there were no one around while the hearts of the two little secretaries were really broken this time. Baba? They didn't mishear, right? This boss, who seemed to be only in his twenties, actually had a son who was more than one year old? This wasn't true, right?
How could we live like that? Why were all the good men now married or planning to get married!
There was really nothing much to be busy with at the company. Ruan Sinan had just gotten married some time ago, and he was now on his honeymoon. Without Ruan Sinan in the company blindly causing things, the work in the company instantly became very leisurely. Taehyung carried his son for a turn around the company and then, went back.
When Vantae was eight months old, he began to spit out words unclearly. The first thing he learnt was not "Mama" or "Baba", but the "Ben" from "Ben Dan" (stupid). Maybe, Im Jennie called Taehyung "Ben Dan" too often, and was picked up by the child. Now, Vantae sometimes called Taehyung "Baba" and sometimes called him "Ben ben", which made Taehyung very helpless.
Ben (pronounce like buhn/burn.) means stupid/ dumb.
Chinese spelling and pronunciation for papa/daddy. So, will use this for the chapter, since it links with the "ben ben" (stupid).
At noon, Taehyung made rice noodles for Jeonsan to eat, while
Kim mama had long invited her friends to go out and play since it was rare for her not to be taking care of her grandson.
At this time, Vantae just started learning how to use a spoon and took the small plastic spoon to scoop up the rice noodles, and half of it landed on his nose. Taehyung only went to the kitchen to take a jar of hot pepper sauce and when he came back, he saw Vantae's hands in the bowl, grabbing the rice noodles to eat. When he saw that Taehyung came back, he giggled and scratched his head, and then continued eating by grabbing the noodles with his hands.
Looking at his son whose body, face and head was full of rice noodle, Taehyung was speechless for a moment, and then he was very glad that his wife was not at home, or she would have roared again.
After eating lunch, Taehyung bathed Vantae. Vantae naturally did not sit still. One bath took more than half an hour and he also got all of Taehyung's clothes wet. After the bath, the little guy was sleepy and automatically returned to his crib to nap, leaving his dad to clean up the mess.
Looking at the messed-up bathroom, Taehyung who looked like he was fished out of the waters finally realized how terrible this little devil was. No wonder his wife's temper was getting worse and worse, even though she was so cute when she was younger!
Vantae fell asleep until four in the afternoon, but because he slept too long, he wet the bed .........
This was a very tragic day for Taehyung, and it started from his heart being softened in the morning.
After playing with his son for an hour, Taehyung whose back and waist was aching, drove to pick up his wife from school.
After reaching Im Jennie's school, Im Jennie had yet to come out. Outsider cars were forbidden to enter the school so the father and son had to wait outside the school. Vantae was not behaving in the car and kept climbing around everywhere so Taehyung had no choice but to get out of the car with him and wait in front of the car.
At the gate of the university, there were people waiting outside the school almost every day, including young people, middle-aged people, and old people. However, it was rare for someone to bring a child to pick someone up.
With a sore back, Taehyung leaned lazily on a silver sports car. He was originally good-looking, and his laziness made him look slightly sexy. Vantae held his dad's thigh and looked at the pedestrians walking past with a look of anticipation. If he saw a woman that looked like Im Jennie, he would run up happily. But, after walking a few steps, he would find that it was not his mama, and would shake his head and retract to his father's side, continuing to hold his father's thigh and wait for his mama.
The female students who came out of the school were so stunned by this cute father and son pair! They almost wanted to go up to make conversation!
However, there were also people who did not fall for this look and suspected that this man deliberately took the child here to win his crush's sympathy, or he just intentionally brought a child here to flirt with girls!
The father and son were watched by the crowd of onlookers for a long time, and finally waited till Im Jennie came out. Vantae ran up excitedly and hugged Im Jennie's thigh. Im Jennie lifted her leg and found that Vantae was holding it too tightly. It was like he was completely hanging off her leg. She immediately frowned: " Kim Vantae , let go!"
"Mama!" Vantae looked up at his mother pitifully.
"Let go!" Im Jennie didn't have any intention to be soft on him.
Vantae had no choice but to let go aggrievedly. He turned to his father for help, but found that his father turned his head away, pretending not to see his plea for help.
After taking Im Jennie's bag from her hand, Taehyung thought that there was a rock to every scissor, a scissors to every paper and a paper to every rock. The whole family all spoilt Vantae and only Im Jennie could put on a cold face towards him. Yet, although Jennie was fierce towards him, Vantae liked to stick to his mother.
Sitting in the car, Vantae, who was like a monkey just now, nestled in his mother's arms motionlessly, and seeing that, Taehyung wanted to laugh.
However, what this family of three did not know was that, watching them leave were countless young girls whose hearts were broken again! Sure enough, if they were to meet a good man, it is the right choice to quickly catch him to get married and have a baby!
When passing by a pastry shop, Im Jennie let Taehyung stop by the side of the road and got out with Vantae.
It was also quite coincidental that she actually met Kim Namjoon on the road. Kim Namjoon saw this mother and son pair and just smiled, wanting to open his mouth to talk. In the end, he brushed past Jennie and she seemed as though she did not even see him. She carried Jeonsan, refusing to cast him a single glance as she walked over and past him.
Kim Namjoon's face froze and he looked back at them. He saw Im Jennie and Vantae squatting in front of the display window of the cake shop. The two of them, one big, one small, suddenly turned back and stared with two big eyes, resembling a kitten.
Kim Namjoon thought that they were looking at him. He adjusted his frozen smile to a perfect smile, and when he raised his legs to walk there, he realized that there was someone walking past him.
Taehyung walked over to his wife and child. He bent over and asked, "Have you chosen?"
"This!" Im Jennie pointed to a chocolate cake in the display window.
Vantae reached out his hand to point at another strawberry cake; his saliva was almost about to flow out.
"Which one?"
Im Jennie glared, and said fiercely, "Of course it was the one I said!"
This woman, who did not give way at all, was actually fighting with her son over a cake!
In the end, Taehyung bought one of each flavour. The cake was packed in the box and Vantae naturally did not know that he had already bought it. He clung to the display window and refused to leave so Im Jennie carried him away, and then Vantae cried.
After crying for a while, he found that his mother ignored him, so he just dropped his head and sulked in his mother's arms.
Taehyung saw this scene and couldn't help but think that it was funny. Sure enough, the little devil still needed the big devil to fix him! To deal with this little devil, you need a hard and determined heart!
The family of three walked past him, and from beginning to end, seemed as if they had not seen him at all.
Kim Namjoon's heart was empty, and he stood in place for a long, long time.
