UNEXPECTED SPOUSE | x1

three

"yaedeura. i'm home." i called while taking off my shoes. no one answered so i entered their room.

i found dongpyo standing on a chair as he stares into the glowing sky. his arms are rested on the window sill and he's cupping his face.

hyeongjun and dohyon are playing sluggishly with their old toy cars. not even talking a bit.

"what's wrong, my babies?" i asked as i crouched on the floor.

hyeongjun only pouted as dohyon stared at him. no answers from dongpyo.

i brushed their hair softly and asked again. "can you tell me what's wrong?"

"eomma?" hyeongjun called.

"ne?"

"we're doomed."

"why? what's the matter?" i asked. his eyes on the verge of tears.

"it's father's day tomorrow..."

i know.

but i can't do anything about it.

"... and we can't join the other kids again because they will play with their appa." he sighed puffing his cheeks.

my mind gets blank whenever we talk about this. i can't explain to them. and i am still not ready to talk about it.

"i will come." i assured them with a smile. dohyon looked at me with eyes asking if i can do it.

"but eomma, you're tired."

"i will never get tired of you." i cupped hyeongjun's cheeks and his eyes sparkled again.

"it's okay, eomma." dohyun stood beside me and hyeongjun. his small hand patted my shoulder.

"it's almost end of school days. don't worry about us." he comforted as if an old man is inside him.

"why not? i can attend the games so you can play. matjyo?"

"aniyo. eomma needs to rest." they said and hugged me.

i looked at my eldest who is still by the window... looking somewhere but nowhere at all.

then i heard him sigh and murmur something.

"what is it, dongpyo-ah?"

"he's wondering if his best friend's friend is handsome."

"yeah. he's gonna hit on him."

"shut up!" dongpyo said annoyed. his brothers just snickered so i got more curious.

i want to tease him too because he's so cute when he's mad and jealous and irritated. lol

but he might have had a bad day already.

"dongpyo, we can talk about it, dear."

but he just shook his head.

i wonder why he's feeling upset.
