seungcheol p.o.v:
once the kids are all in their spots for napping, i walk over to an empty spot and lay down, sighing heavily.
I look over at jeonghan.
He is persuading joshua to sleep.
I listen in.
"joshua, please sleep, kids like you need plenty of it or you wake up with the worst headache cause you're so tired. It feels refreshing and creates more energy so you feel happy and excited when you wake up."
jeonghan whispers, caressing joshua's head.
"can you sing for us eomma so we can sleep?"
joshua pleads with puppy eyes and jeonghan's face shows intense struggle.
I guess the puppy eyes are her weakness as well, the kids use it on me all the time and it never fails to persuade me.
"PLEASE SING FOR US EOMMA!"
the other kids chorus and jeonghan giggles cutely.
"okay, but only if you guys fall asleep"
he declares and the kids nod in response.
Jeonghan clears his through and begins while i watch the spectacular performance.
"charari nega jom deo himdeureosseumyeon hae
himdeureoseo nae saenggakdo
jom hago geuraesseumyeon jogesseo
nado amureochi anko shipeunde
geutorok neol bureudeon naye ipsuri
bajjak mallaganeun geol neukkimyeo
kkaedarasseo ipbeoreutcheoreom
neoreul bureumyeo haetage chajasseotdago
geuttaecheoreom neol gamssa aneumyeo
utgo shipdago nege malhago shipeo"
"차라리 네가 좀 더 힘들었으면 해
힘들어서 내 생각도
좀 하고 그랬으면 좋겠어
나도 아무렇지 않고 싶은데
그토록 널 부르던 나의 입술이
바짝 말라가는 걸 느끼며
깨달았어 입버릇처럼
너를 부르며 애타게 찾았었다고
그때처럼 널 감싸 안으며
웃고 싶다고 네게 말하고 싶어"
"I rather wish that you were having a rougher time
I want you to think of me
Because it's hard
I want to be okay too
I feel my lips dry
The lips that used to call you so much
I realized then, like a habitual saying
That I desperately looked for you as I called for you
I want to embrace you like I did then
And tell you that I want to smile"
[Habit - Seventeen Vocal Unit (video at the beginning of the chapter)]
by the time jeonghan finished singing, they were all sleeping with small, visible smiles and all that is heard is soft snoring and my clapping.
jeonghan turns his head towards me and smiles with a slight tint of pink rising to his cheeks, how cute.
he comes over to me and lays next to me.
"that was probably the best singing i've ever heard in my entire life"
i state truthfully, staring at the ceiling.
