I hold Jisung's hand tightly while he was high on anesthesia. He got out of surgery a few moments ago and was awake through the whole thing. Give him drugs and he's fine.

"So, then, I said to the damn Smurf, 'hey!' and that bitch ran off my car." He finishes his story.

"Jisung, stop swearing. We're not at home." I smile.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh!" He covers my mouth. "What happened to me?" He takes his blankets off to reveal his naked body and gasps.

"Stop, you'll get cold." I cover him again.

He looks at me with wide eyes. "I saw my penis. Where's my clothes?! Did you steal them?!"

"No, we had to take them off so it would be easier for the doctors. I have them."

"What did the doctors do to me?"

"They had to take your appendix out."

"No!" He cries. "I needed that!"

"No, you didn't. You don't need an appendix to live." I fix his messy hair. "But it got infected."

"Ow!" He covers his ears.

"What?"

"Shhh, water." He hushes me. "Hey, your eyeball is, like, so big." He says.

"How big is my eyeball?" I cross my arms.

"It's, like, as big as my whole penis."

"So it's normal sized?"

"No! My penis is so big! See?" He takes the blankets off and reveals himself again.

"Honey, it was a joke. Stop doing that." I tuck the blanket under him.

He crosses his arms and looks away from me. I attempt to hold his hand, but he makes a tight fist.

"What?" I coo.

"I'm not talking to you." He answers. "You said I had a small penis and I don't."

"It's smaller than mine." I cross my arms.

"That doesn't make mine small." He turns away from me.

I smile and turn him on his back again. "You need to stay on your back."

"No, you penis." He covers himself in the blankets and lays on his side.

The doctor comes in and we both look up at her. "How are you feeling Mr. Hwang?" She asks.

"I'm sleepy." He answers.

"Yes, you need rest these first few days. So, umm, he can go home in a few hours. Healing period can take up to a month, so don't force anything on him. Let his body lead. And don't let his bandages get wet for the next 48 hours. Let him eat bland foods or liquids for a few days. He may come down from his anesthesia within a couple hours, but it can be days before he's back to normal. Okay?"

I nod. "Yes, thank you."

She comes over and takes the mask from his mouth and nose that was giving him anesthesia. He pouts. He reaches for it.

"I want that."

"You can't have it." She smiles.

He hides under the blankets. "It's no fair. You're both mean." He grumbles.

"Honey, do you want your clothes on?" I offer.

He peeks at me. "Not until you say I have a big penis." He sulks.

The nurse looks between us with an awkward smile. I blush. He sits there, waiting.

"You... have a big penis." I sigh.

He sits up and reaches for the clothes in my hands. I help him get redressed and watch him play with the big sleeves on the hoodie he wore. He looks at me.

"It's too big." He mumbles.

"It's mine. You can wear it, Honey." I smile sweetly at him.

"You'll get cold." He starts taking it off.

"No, you should stay cozy, okay?" I run my hand through his hair.

He reaches for me, making cute grabby hands with his sweater paws. I hold his hands in mine and kiss his fingertips. He giggles, making tiny fists.

"Cutie, what do you wanna eat?" I ask.

"I want... milkshakes." He answers.
