Baby Yesung

🐢14🐢

Heechul's POV

We have first summer day in Seoul. It is really hot day and where you spend day like this? In swimming pool! Our is ready so I just need to prepare the baby. He is fussy because he is hot and we are both sticky with sweat. Yesung demands two yoghurts for breakfast because they are cold from the fridge and then I start to prepare him.

Yesung is so white that he is almost shining. His skin is too sensitive so I put thick layer of 80 + SPF sunscreen on every inch of his body. He is whining but I would kill myself if he got hurt during my watch. I put swimming nappy on him and then dress him in white thin shirt with long sleeve and navy blue swimming shorts. I almost forget to put bucket hat on his head and then I get ready too. We go outside and the heat is even bigger here. Cicadas are singing and I hope that they will stay hidden on trees because I hate bugs.

(This is my fear, one day I had one cicada in my room and seriously I almost had heart attack.)

The swimming pool is big and it has different depths. Water at the concrete steps is very shallow, it is just around knees, then around waist and farest end of the pool is deepest. But we wont go there. Yesung is little bit scared of water and he doesn't swim well enough to truly enjoy swimming. He likes playing in water in bath tub, but this is different level for him.

"Yesung, baby come here."

I am standing in the pool with water around my waist. He is still standing on the last step with water around ankles.

"Baby turtle don't worry, I am here."

I hold his swim vest with dolphins and put it on him. I double check the straps on his chest and then I can relax because he is safe. I am swimming and he is floating and kicks around with his legs. He is happy in the swim vest so why should I ruin it with teaching him how to swim properly. Yesung is bored and starts to play with water toys. He has many fishes and another sea creatures with wind up mechanism, fishing set with fishing rods and fishes and pirate ship. He is playing with the fishing set. The fishing rod has cord with little magnet on end and every fish has magnet too, so he can fish them out.

I am sad that he is playing alone on the shallow ground so I stopped swimming and go to play with him. I want him to be more demanding and little bit annoying, to ask for my presence but Yesung is so quiet and shy that even if he wants to play with me he wont ask me and better play alone. I take the second rod and soon we are like professional fishermen. Then I take the wind up fishes and soon they are swimming around the pool. Yesung is silently watching them while i am trying to speak with him. I feel lonely because he isn't very talkative while I can spend whole day talking about one thing.

"I am cold."

I lift him out of the water and stripped him from the wet shirt and swim vest. The nappy is still good so I leave it on and dress him in dry shirt with colourful stripes and white shorts. I put the bucket hat back on his head.

"Auntie thirsty."

I hand him sippy cup with juice and because he is sucking on the cup even it is empty I nudge his lips with pacifier. He is serene and sucks on the pacifier. Then he goes to the sandbox under tree and starts to build something from the sand.

"Did i do something wrong baby?"

I kneeled in front of him and watch his small hands digging in the sand. I am loosing hope that he will speak with me but suddenly Yesung is weeping.

"I miss papa."

I quickly hug him and rub his back.

"Papa will be back tomorrow. Or do you want to call him? Maybe he has time for Facetime."
