Wooseok entered their master’s bedroom and the first thing he saw is his husband reading a book. Upon seeing him, Seungyoun removed his glasses and questions his wife.

“Where have you been, it’s quite late already.’’

“I just went to check Eunsang, I gave him thicker blankets as it’s gotten quite cold.’’

"Aren’t you’re worrying too much for that kid? He’s not your son you know.”

Wooseok doesn’t know but his chest tightens slightly by that statement.

"I know but he’s living with us and he’s our responsibility. And besides didn’t you notice that Dohyon becomes livelier ever since Eunsang came. He enjoys studying now. Thanks to him, our Dohyon was able to achieve the top score in his high school entrance exam just like his brother.’’

"Even without that kid, I’m sure our son can achieve the top score. And aren’t you spending too much on our kids’ education… tutors, extra classes, cram schools… our sons are smart, I’m sure Hyeongjun can get into SNU and Dohyon can be top of his class even without these things.’’

Wooseok sighed “Yeobo, it’s not like your time when you could get in by just memorizing facts. These days it’s about grades and the environment. Kids win or lose based on their parents’ wealth and data. Why should I deprive my sons of these opportunities when we can afford them?’’

He then approached his husband and cuddled into him “That’s why just stay put and let me handle the kids’ education, alright?’’

Seungyoun envelops his arms to the smaller and cleared his throat before saying “Alright then, just saying, focus on your two sons and not to worry so much into other kids.’’

Wooseok who doesn’t have the energy to urge anymore just nodded and soon enough he closes his eyes and went to sleep.

Seungyoun closes the book he is still holding and put it in his side table. He shifted his position so he can cuddle more to him. Seeing his wife’s steady breathing, he smiled and kissed him on his forehead before joining the other in dreamland.

The next morning in the residents’ basketball court.

“Ah! Let’s stop this, I don’t want to play anymore!” Minhee exclaimed before collapsing in the cemented floor, trying to catch his breath.

He is currently playing with Junho, Dongpyo, and Eunsang. Upon hearing the tallest’s complaint, the rest of them laugh out loud.

“Yah, Minhee, you’re the tallest among us and yet you’re so bad at playing basketball. Even Dongpyo who’s so short compared to you was able to shoot several points and yet you can’t even shoot at least once.’’ Eunsang teased.
