Think I Have a Baby! ⇨ Eng Ver.

Crossed Paths

Three days and Johnny couldn't take keeping up with that secret anymore. Not to mention how he tried to mislead Yuta with lies, such as going to visit him at work because he didn't see him often when he actually went to pick Jinwoo up from school. Luckily for him, the little one got permission from the teacher to wait for Johnny in the school's playground, with the other kids.

Jinwoo wasn't so difficult to deal with, he even obeyed Johnny's requests and didn't behave badly in public places, at least that hadn't happened yet. However, the boy had his difficulties in socializing with his older brother, being rude whenever he felt pressured. Even though he didn't seem to like Johnny at all, the seven-year-old boy couldn't let his brother alone, as if begging for attention.

TV was on the sports channel while Johnny times to times focused on the basketball match that was televised in a rerun of last night. The Seo brothers ate dinner quietly until the older one noticed Jinwoo sneakily trying to escape by sliding off his chair.

"Hey, permission to leave the table only when you're done eating" the right hand was holding his chin.

"It's just... It's just that I don't want to eat anymore."

"These aren't my rules buddy. Come on, there's only one bite last, you can handle that."

"I'm going to explode like that!" Jinwoo made an outraged grimace. "Do you want me to die?"

"Like that could happen. It's just a piece of tofu, it's not gonna kill you."

Johnny had already finished his dinner while waiting for Jinwoo so he could wash the dishes. The child clearly expressed his discontent with that rather tasteless and depressing meal, even if in a sufficient portion. However, nothing could be done, unfortunately it was the diet their mother made them follow.

"I didn't like your food... It doesn't taste like anything."

"Of course you don't like my food, you never ate anything I cooked before" still on the chair, Johnny straightened his back. "This is from a restaurant on the back street, I didn't cook it."

Jinwoo fiercely glared at him.

"Don't even try and blame me, I didn't impose all this nonsense. If it was up to me, we would have had fried chicken or Chinese food for dinner."

Johnny, too, was somewhat irritated, this wasn't a Johnny-style meal, mainly in quantity. At least he could have a beer when Jinwoo went to bed and, who knows, even eat his barbecue chips hidden in the kitchen so that the little one wouldn't indulge himself. It was absurd not to let him be a child, but it would be better not to ignore his mother's rules. The consequences would be severe, and Johnny was very aware of that.

"Come on, they probably have hidden cameras all over the place" he pointed to the upper right corner of the ceiling.

"But I can't eat anymore!"

"You want our mother to haunt you at night?" impatient, Johnny grabbed the water glasses in front of him without breaking their eye contact.

"Stop it or I'll go tell m-" Jinwoo stopped his speech with a distressed expression.

"That's right Jinwoo... How are you going to tell mom that I'm scaring you when she's the one who scares you the most...?" almost whispering, Johnny left the water glasses in the dishwasher.

"You keep confusing me, you dumb!"

Jinwoo's cheeks turned red quickly.

"It's you who didn't understand, but the dumb one is me?" hands on hips, Johnny ended up laughing briefly.
