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

21

A few days have passed since Changbin's disappearance, and during this time Chan was trying to somehow reconcile work with taking care of his son, but it was not easy. At some point, it must have reached a point where, unable to cope with everything, he asked his neighbor to pick up Jisung from kindergarten and stay with him for an hour or two until the older one came home.

For Seungmin, it wasn't even a problem anymore, because he had the perfect excuse to see Jeongin almost every day, with whom he had a great relationship thanks to constant meetings. And the knowledge that the younger one also liked him allowed him to derive even greater pleasure from each of their conversations. It's true that sometimes he still gets embarrassed when Jeongin compliments his work, which he sends to him since their last meeting over wine.

Their relationship was going in an increasingly better direction and if this is all the love he read about in books and about which he has no idea, he would love to experience this feeling with a boy whose smile still gives him butterflies in his stomach.

-Hyung...

Feeling a tug on his pant leg, he looked at the boy who was standing by the sofa.

-What's up Jisung?

-I'm hungry

At these words, Seungmin only nodded and then stood up from his seat, looking down to look into the child's eyes.

-What do you want so that I don't waste the eggs again?

-Pancakes

-For dinner? Wouldn't you like something more nutritious?

The preschooler shook his head no and then returned to the table where he was drawing another drawing.

Seeing that there was nothing to discuss, the man went to the kitchen, immediately preparing all the ingredients, glancing towards the living room from time to time. With a sigh, he looked at the boy who was definitely most affected by Changbin's disappearance. There was really no trace of the boy full of energy, all his desire to play was also gone, now the 4-year-old only sat and drew pictures for his uncle or his new friend, Minho. Nothing more, Seungmin wanted to offer him a game of hide and seek or tag a few times, which he sincerely hated, but considering what was happening, he wanted to make an exception for the boy, but he didn't want to play it.

Thinking about all this, Seungmin hoped that Changbin would come to his senses soon and come back. The boy felt that the elder had good intentions when he moved out, but so far this situation had only brought damage and no improvement.

The boy's further thoughts were interrupted when he heard the apartment door open. Guessing it was Chan, he turned off the pan and went towards the entrance. And passing the living room, he saw that Jisung hadn't moved even a millimeter, which was no longer a surprise because he had stopped throwing himself at the door for some time, hoping that it could be his uncle.

-Hey hyung

The younger one greeted the new arrival and when he took off his coat, he started collecting his outer clothes without putting them on because it was pointless when he literally only had a few steps to climb.

-Are you going already?

-Yes, you have pancake dough made in the kitchen, so I guess you know what to do, see you tomorrow hyung

-Ah...

Chan didn't have time to say anything before the door to his apartment closed. Well, the older one should have expected this, after all, he had already taken up a lot of the other one's time, giving himself an extra hour at work to be able to refine one of the projects that he still didn't manage to fully finish, but he will be able to finish it when he's at home. to take care of, he thought as he went to the kitchen, on the way greeting his son who didn't even look at him when he said hello.
