Yu-jun approached his father, a small square item in his hands, he hasn't touched the shoebox of photographs of his father and his other father since last year. Just as their tradition goes, he gets something related to his father, Jeongguk. "I saw this last year but I wanted to keep it in until my birthday, which is today, and I want to know what this is first. I hope my waiting wasn't for something dumb," Yu-jun tried explaining, what if it was something random that had no purpose related to Jeonnguk. Taehyung turned around, where he was in the kitchen, baking a cake for his son, a recipe given to him by his best friend, Misun. Taehyung placed the whisk downward into the counter, messing up the counter but that wasn't important. 

"Oh, it's actually a small compilation of your father's singing. We burnt it together," he frowned his eyebrows, hoping he used the right term, he wasn't into music compared to his lover, "we made it. You can listen to it, I haven't listen to it since he left us, I rather not. If you are, please listen to it in your room." 

"Don't you want to listen with me? Maybe it will help you relief yourself from the past, dad. You've made progress, you talk about Jeongguk more with me ever since last year, not even on my birthday anymore!" The teenager was excited, " I've have learn much from my dad from you. Talking to me about him must be difficult for you. I appreciate that you still let me know. Will you feel relieved if we listen together? You gave his photos last year and I see that you have changed for the better, your are more willing to be more open with me about my dad." 

Taehyung placed the whisk into the sink, he needed to clean it anyways, "I can't say no to you, son.  We saved the songs onto a flash drive, you can plug it into your computer, you choose a song," as much as Taehyung wasn't ready to hear his voice again, physically. Years ago, he did sing to his son a song that his lover use to sing for fun, the males intention was more of doing  cover than mimicking his past lovers voice. Jeongguk had a more airy and breathy technique compared to himself. 

Yu-jun came out of his small room with a computer, one that his father saved up for him. It was to help him with his school work. "I found this one, I like the title of it," it was the song 2U. Another cover from the famous artist which Jeongguk loved, possible still does. 

Yu-jun clicked onto the play icon, once the flash drive opened up the songs, Taehyung was pleasantly surprised as the song brought him back to the old days. How Jeongguk would sing this song to him constantly, since he knew the boy would turn to putty after hearings his voice, even if it was cover, Jeongguk did dedicate his short performances only towards his boyfriend. 

Unknowingly, Taehyung was closing his eyes as his mind reminded him of the past. 

Jeongguk would always sing this, just for him, it was their song. 

"Jeongguk would sing this for me, when were dating, it feels weird to hear his voice again. We were just young dumb kids back then." 

"Would you sing this song to me?" 

Taehyung was taken back, his son never wanted much from him. He hasn't sung to hi, in years. 

"Yu-jun, I will always do what you ask of me, I'm your dad."

Yu-jun showed his small rabbit smile, the one he got from Jeongguk, "Thank you. I want to know how you sound. Maybe I can play his in the background and you harmonize. It would be awesome to hear both of my dad's sing at once." 

Taehyung gave out his pinky, "I promise, I'll give you a duet. I hope you enjoy it, son."
