Mr. Park said his Mickey Mouse pancakes are better than yours | Chanbaek

07 (Part I)

The sun was bright and Chanyeol was happier than ever. He was the most happier person right there at the beach; with the beautiful sea in front of him, the warm sand covering his feet and Sehun's small hand wrapped around his. Their laughs were the only sound besides of the birds flying close and the small waves coming over and over. They were having the time of their lives next to each other, Sehun was enjoying to have some time with his father and Chanyeol being able to see the happiness spreading all around of his son's face. That was called true love and he knew it. Chanyeol fell in love with that child since the first day he met him, he knew there was something different on him when he was talking about his Mickey Mouse pancakes and how much he loved Dumbo.

He felt his heart fluttering at the sight, he looked so much like his first young love. Like the only person he had ever fell in love with; Byun Baekhyun, with the most beautiful smile and sparkly eyes. Chanyeol used to be so whipped for him that his first thought when he met Sehun was him and only him. He started dreaming about the smaller weeks later after the first day, creating alternative universe in which they were still together and living happily ever after like their favourite Disney princess movies. But, like always, it was just dreams and Chanyeol woke up everyday with tears on his eyes and a heart pounding heart on his chest.

Sehun smiled at him and he saw Baekhyun on his eyes. He was still so fucked up and he wished he could find someone to replace that small hole inside of his heart but internally he wished his son could be enough.

"Can we have an ice cream?" He asked softly with a shy smile. Chanyeol noted it immediately, remembering how Baekhyun had told him before that he was very shy and that would probably ask for a lot of candies too, but not daring to look at him. He said his baby liked to play with his finger when he was embarrassed and Chanyeol didn't know if it was a good signal that Sehun wasn't shy around him, or so he liked to thought.

"Of course, buddy", He played cool and took him into his embrace carefully. Sehun didn't hesitate or flinched in any second, he allowed Chanyeol to take him into his arms and walk around the beach on the way to the closest ice cream shop, "A little bird told me that you like pistachio flavour."

Sehun nodded with his tongue sticking out, "I love it! Daddy says it tastes bad but he doesn't know what he's talking about. He likes broccoli! He doesn't know anything about good things."

If someone could have asked Chanyeol what did he felt when Sehun started to act talkative with him, gesturing a lot and being confident when the first thing he learned about his son is that he was really shy, he would have said that he had fell in love for the second time. The first one was when he saw Baekhyun with red hair, drunk in a karaoke cabinet while The Little Mermaid's song was playing in the background. Maybe that moment was still replying so much on his mind since he met him again five years later.

When they finally arrived, Sehun was almost jumping on Chanyeol's arms with enthusiasm as he saw the bright colours of the store and how many flavours he could pick for himself. He usually had to share an ice cream with his father since it was always too much for his small tummy (and it usually hurt before eating that much) so he was happy to hear that he gotta eat pistachio and not being scolded by how much he could take.

They walked together through the colourful ice cream shop. Sehun was mesmerised with the beautiful doodles on the walls and the paintings that caught all of his attention while Chanyeol was busy looking at all of the flavours he could pick on his cone. He knew Baekhyun was going to get mad at him if he let Sehun eat a cone by himself ("Don't let him eat too much candies, he usually gets hyperactive or his tummy hurts and he would complain a lot about it") but was he going to miss the chance of sharing a Sehun's first time doing something he wasn't used to? Of course not.
