Tied to a Dino (My Sly Fox Sequel)

Chptr 32: Their Angel

Through a large, clear glass window, Jonghyun can see heaven. Yes, heaven. A comfortable, nice, and dreamy place. It is definitely a heaven, though there weren't fluffy clouds, sunlight or white butterflies that flies around, it was full of angels. Angels that were lying on there bassinets in rows, with their eyes closed and in complete peace. But then, his eyes are stuck only on one certain angel...

His angel.

His hand voluntary touched the glass window as he looks inside. Right in front of his eyes, his baby is sleeping under soft, blue cotton covers. He smiled, remembering the first time he held him, their very first skin contact. He's so small, he's delicate and looks so fragile. For the first seconds, as the nurse hands his son to him, he felt scared, scared that he might hurt his boy but the next moments when he felt him on his own arms, fear vanished and it was all pure joy. The (almost) nine months of waiting had been rewarded by just a few moments of contact.

'I want to hold him again.', he thought.It is addicting.

He was contemplating whether he should follow his want to hold his son again or just let him rest in the nursery when he felt a tap on his shoulder from behind. He turned his head and found the four boys around him with warm smiles on their faces. He smiled back to them then set his eyes back to the nursery.

"We went to the room but Yerin is still asleep. Her mom said you are here.", Onew said. All of them stood beside Jonghyun, looking through the glass window too.

"Where is he?", Minho asked.

He pointed the bassinet in front of them by his eyes. "My son..."

All of them moved closer to take a better look, squeezing Jonghyun in the center. Their mouths were all open as they stare at the baby, their faces full of amusement.

"Omo. So cute~", Taemin squealed a little, being the one nearest, his two hands, forehead and nose touching the glass.

"Ooooh. He's just like a doll. Is he real?", Minho asked, peeking over Taemin's shoulder.

Jonghyun chuckled. "Of course he's real. I held him. He's breathing, moving and crying...", he narrated dreamily as he remembered the moment that Baby Kim is in his arms.

They all looked at him, amazed and envious at the same time. He smiled proudly, silently boasting about holding his own baby.

Onew then patted his head and gazed at him with brotherly love. "Congratulations. You're a one great man now. You've been really good and responsible. You deserve this."

"Yes. Congrats hyung.", the others also said and gave him a pat on his shoulder.

Jonghyun lost his words. He just stared at them, his friends, that to him were like his brothers. He smiled softly and them and glanced at his son. The feeling is overwhelming. "Suddenly, I wanted to cry."

All of them huffed at once and rolled their eyes.

"What's new? You always cry hyung.", Taemin said, looking at him weirdly. They all laughed but there was Jonghyun who was unable to hold his tears back. His lower lip was trembling and eyes were wet when he looked at them, looking so vulnerable like a child, then he gazed again at his baby inside the nursery. The laughter died down and they surrounded him, caressing his back as he cries in front of the window.

"Hey...", Key called softly.

Jonghyun sniffed. "Sorry... but it's just too overwhelming. Just a few hours ago, I was wishing my wife a happy birthday, then the next, we're in the hospital and she is in great pain. I was so scared. Then there's the baby and it's a total swing of emotion. It's like heaven on earth when I saw him... ", he sobbed but he wanted to laugh at himself. He is happy but tears just can't stop from coming out, he though he must have gone crazy after everything that had happened.
