What is "LOVE"? |SeungIN (feat.Baby Jisung)

17

Changbin, sitting on the couch, felt deya vu come over him when he looked at the clock, seeing that it was already past midnight and his friend was still not at home.

And maybe if the man wasn't used to this state of affairs, he would even start to worry about Khan, but they had already been through his late returns too many times to take into account that something could happen to the other one.

Fortunately for him, after a few minutes he heard the sound of the door opening and the next minute he could see the person he was waiting for. The elder was surprised when he saw this, because he was sure that everyone would be asleep by that time. But he was wrong and his friend's face clearly showed that he was in trouble

-Um...Changbin...

He started when he was still looking at him pissed off

-Where have you been?

He asked through his teeth, not hiding his anger, but trying to remain silent after all, his godson was sleeping behind the wall.

-At work, ch...

-Do you realize what happened today?

-I...

-I don't believe it, you forgot

He was interrupted again by the man who knew from the other man's confused face that he didn't remember what day it was

-Let me enlighten you, today there was a kindergarten play that you promised Jisung to be at

Hearing these words, Chan opened his mouth when it came back to him that his son had actually said something about this a week ago.

-Really

He finally replied, scratching the back of his neck, feeling a little stupid for forgetting about it

-Really? That's all you have to say?

-What am I supposed to say? I forgot a common human thing, besides it's just a show, I would understand if it was Jisung's birthday, but a show? There will be a million more opportunities for me to go to it

Hearing his words, Changbin couldn't believe that one could so carelessly ignore the fact that one's own child's feelings were hurt.

-Are you really that stupid?Jisung cared so much about this show...

-Then why didn't you go?

-Dammit, Chan, he wanted you there! Damn his dad!

This time Changbin couldn't hold back the scream, but realizing that it was too loud for this time, he almost immediately lowered his voice.

-It was his first show, are you really not sorry that you weren't there?

-First time or not, so what? A show is a show, no big deal, Jisung is exaggerating. Anyway, it's a child, I'll buy him a toy and that'll be it

After what came out of his friend's mouth, he really had to hold himself back from hitting him at that moment

-A toy? Are you mocking me?

-Why should I? It always works, so there's no point in talking about it, let's go to sleep.

The elder turned to go to the bedroom, but a strong grip on his wrist prevented him from moving

-What else?

-What happened to you,  man?

-Nothing, what would happen?

-You weren't like that before, Jisung was your whole world and now you treat him like an unnecessary addition. He needs you Chan, understand that he doesn't care about toys, he wants his dad, I want to be noticed again, he....

-I'm trying to give him the best, okay?

He was interrupted by Chan, who finally pulled his wrist away from the other's strong grip

-I work a lot so that he can have everything he wants, you know, not everyone has the privilege of taking work home...

-Well, you're lucky you have the decency not to check on these whores at home

From the nonsense the elder was talking, Changbin couldn't help but say what he had been holding back since returning from Busan.

-What?

Not expecting such a thing, the other one was stunned, not knowing how to react to it at all

-I saw you when you were on your "delegation"... in a hotel with some doll

Taking a deep breath, the boy's father still didn't say anything, but the other boy didn't want this topic to remain silent

-Someone else had to sacrifice their time while you were having fun, honestly...it wasn't the first time, was it?

There was still silence in the room from the elder, which was telling enough for Changbin

-Will you explain why? Why, instead of returning to your son after work, you go to whores, parties or who knows where else... why?! Jisung I just want.....

-I don't give a damn about what I want! Do you understand?! I'm fed up with the fact that my last years of life are only Jisung, Jisung, Jisung... my whole life is fucked up! I had to give up my dream studies, my dreams of music! At the age of I was drowning in diapers and toys for 18 years, while you were fulfilling yourself! You were partying, you got a chance from the best music company in Korea and I was sitting with a non-stop crying baby! Do you want to hear it? You've got it, I think Jisung is an unnecessary decoration and I regret that I stopped then Miwa in front of abo...

Before he could finish, he felt intense pain when Changbin couldn't hold back anymore and punched his friend, although at the moment he would rather not admit that someone like that was his friend.

-Listen, you can complain that you lost your student years, full of parties and other nonsense, BUT! You won't blame it on a child who was not at fault, you and Miwa were irresponsible and didn't protect yourself, and you were the one who resigned from your studies! You made this decision yourself even though both me and your mother offered help... do you want to find someone to blame? Better look in the mirror...

-Uncle?Dad?

They both jumped at the new voice, looking in shock behind Chan where the boy was standing, rubbing his eyes with his fist, obviously woken up by the screams.

At this point, they both prayed that Jisung wouldn't hear anything

-Hey Sungie, sorry we were so loud, let's go back to bed, shall we?

As a good uncle, Changbin was immediately next to the preschooler, crouching down next to him with a slight smile so that he wouldn't feel that something was wrong.

-Okay, can I hug my uncle again?

-Of course you can

The younger of the adults smiled wider when the boy threw his arms around his neck, immediately returning the hug and lifting him up.

Heading back to the room with him

-I advise you well, think about some things twice before you say them, because I promise that I will tear you apart with my bare hands if you hurt Jisung with your words.

He whispered as he walked past Chan, then disappeared out the door with Jisung. And taking advantage of the moment of peace, the man took a deep breath and sat down on the couch.

Having to actually think about some things.
