"DADDY! PAPA!"
Wonyoung smiled when Yun Yuhyun finally arrived at the box truck where he was waiting for his son.
Of course, Yun Dujun and An Baekya were also there.
We returned here ten minutes before the graduation ceremony ended to avoid the crowd.
Anyway, Yun Inyeop brought Yun Yuhyun there.
"And An Baekya, you’re here, too," Yun Yuhyun said, scoffing at An Baekya. But the kid imdiately bead after looking at Wonyoung and Yun Dujun. "It’s really you!"
Wonyoung and Yun Dujun had already taken off their costus.
But the mascots were in the truck, and Yun Yuhyun saw them.
"Yes, indeed," Yun Dujun said. "Did you love our surprise?"
Yun Yuhyun grinned, and then the child hugged Yun Dujun’s leg. "I love it, Daddy!"
Aww.
Wonyoung was smiling fondly while watching Yun Dujun and Yun Yuhyun when soone interrupted that warm mont.
It was Yun Inyeop who cleared his throat a little too loudly.
Tsk.
"I reserved a restaurant for us. Let’s et up there," Yun Inyeop said, talking directly to Wonyoung. "My wife and daughter want to et you, Wonyoung-ssi. See you later."
After saying his peace, Yun Inyeop left after saying goodbye to Yun Yuhyun.
Wonyoung was stunned.
Hyung-nim didn’t even wait for my answer...
"An Baekya, you look silly," Yun Yuhyun teased An Baekya. "Why are you still wearing that raccoon costu?"
"Well, Appa and Abeoji wanted us to wear matching clothes," An Baekya said, smiling ’innocently,’ while handing Yun Yuhyun a paper bag. "Here, Yuhyun-ah. Appa and Abeoji prepared the sa onesie for you as a gift. You’re going to wear this, right? After all, Appa and Abeoji really want to see you wearing this."
Yun Yuhyun flinched, but he couldn’t say anything.
Aigoo.
Wonyoung realized sothing at that mont.
An Baekya is a ’ragebaiter’ while Yun Yuhyun is the ’ragebaited.’
"It’s okay if you don’t want to wear it, Yuhyun-ah," Yun Dujun said. "You don’t have to force yourself."
"N-No, Daddy. I want to wear it!" Yun Yuhyun said, obviously forcing himself to smile. "I want you and Papa to see wearing the onesie."
Yun Dujun gave Yun Yuhyun a small smile while patting the child’s head.
Wonyoung smiled while watching his (contract) husband and their son interact.
What is this warm and fuzzy feeling in my chest?
***
"DADDY, how do I look?"
Yun Dujun smiled while watching Yun Yuhyun twirl around in front of him, obviously showing off his raccoon onesie.
Right now, only the two of them were inside the box truck.
Bae Wonyoung and An Baekya were already waiting for them in the car.
Yun Dujun stayed because he helped Yun Yuhyun change into his onesie.
And Bae Wonyoung wanted the two of us to spend ti together.
"You’re cute, Yuhyun-ah," Yun Dujun said sincerely. "You look like your papa."
It was true.
His family and friends would often say that Yun Yuhyun was his mini-version.
But I see Bae Wonyoung in our son.
"Yuhyun-ah, I want to say sothing before you misunderstand," Yun Dujun said, squatting down to et his son’s eye level. "Your papa and I know that your favorite character is a red panda. We’re just teasing you by dressing up as raccoons."
Yun Yuhyun tilted his head to one side, obviously confused.
"Your papa and I don’t want you to think that we don’t know about your interest," Yun Dujun explained further. "Did we upset you that we dressed up as raccoons, even though we know that you like red pandas?"
"No, Daddy. I’m not upset," Yun Yuhyun said while shaking his head. "I like red pandas, but I like Daddy and Papa more. So, I also like what you like. Papa and Daddy like raccoons, right?"
Well, not really, but...
It’s fun how both Bae Wonyoung and I think that red pandas and raccoons look the sa.
"Yes, your papa and I like raccoons."
It was easier to say that than explain the truth to his son.
Yun Yuhyun bead. "Then I like both red pandas and raccoons from now on, Daddy."
"Very well," Yun Dujun said, gently patting Yun Yuhyun’s head. "Let’s visit the zoo later to see red pandas."
"Yehey!"
***
SUSPRISINGLY, the restaurant that Yun Inyeop reserved was a fast-food restaurant.
It’s called Lunabee— and it’s a famous Korean fast-food chain with a bee mascot.
Only their family was there.
By family, Wonyoung was referring to Yun Dujun, Yun Yuhyun, and An Baekya.
Of course, Yun Inyeop was also there with his wife and daughter.
"Wonyoung-ssi, this is my wife Kang Chaein and my daughter Yun Yunchae," Yun Inyeop said, introducing his family to Wonyoung. "Honey, princess, this is Bae Wonyoung— Dujun’s husband and Yuhyun’s mother. And that child is An Baekya, their foster son."
Wow.
Wonyoung was srized.
Kang Chaein-ssi is one of the most beautiful Beta won I’ve t.
On the other hand, Yun Yunchae looked intimidating for an eight-year-old kid.
She already has a poker face at such a tender age.
"Hello, Chaein-nim, Yunchae-ya," Wonyoung greeted the two politely. "I’m Bae Wonyoung."
An Baekya also bowed politely. "Hello. I’m An Baekya."
"You’re so cute, Baekya," Kang Chaein said kindly. "And you speak well."
An Baekya acted shy again while smiling. "Thank you, ma’am."
"Just call ’Aunt,’ sweetie."
This ti, An Baekya even blushed.
Wonyoung was impressed.
This kid is really good at acting.
"I understand, Auntie," An Baekya said, still acting ek. "Thank you for being so kind to , Auntie."
"Aww. Thank you, sweetie."
Wonyoung smiled, proud of how An Baekya carried himself.
I know he’s acting shy, but I also know that An Baekya is a good kid.
"You don’t have to address formally as well, Wonyoung-ssi," Kang Chaein said kindly when she finally turned to Wonyoung. "You can just call ’noona’ since I heard from my husband that you call him ’hyung-nim.’"
"I understand, Noona," Wonyoung said politely. "Then please speak comfortably with ."
Kang Chaein smiled again, obviously satisfied. "Wonyoung-ah, I hope you’re not offended that we booked a fast-food restaurant when we’re treating your family to dinner. It’s just that we rarely let Yuhyun and Yunchae eat junkfood. So, when the kids asked if they could eat here for their graduation celebration, we had no choice but to give in. That’s the reason we chose this place. We promise to treat you to a fancier dinner next ti."
"Oh, that won’t be necessary, Noona," Wonyoung said, even waving his hands frantically. "I actually love this fast-food restaurant. Dujun Sunbae-nim and I used to eat here a lot during our university days."
Yun Dujun nodded in agreent. "Hoobae-nim used to have an unhealthy lifestyle before."
Tsk.
Kang Chaein laughed softly. "I’m relieved, then."
Wonyoung was distracted when he felt a tug at the hem of his shirt.
When he looked down, he found Yun Yunchae looking up at him with sparkling eyes.
Oh.
This little girl isn’t as stoic as I thought she was.
"Can I call you ’Uncle Wonyoung?’"
Wonyoung smiled and nodded. "Of course, you can."
"I like pretty people," Yun Yunchae said shyly. "Uncle Wonyoung, you’re so pretty. Can I marry you when I grow up?"
Pfft.
Wonyoung thought it was funny, but he knew he had to politely turn down the kid.
Yes, I know Yunchae is just a kid who doesn’t know what she’s saying. But it’s my responsibility as an adult to nip it in the bud early.
However, he didn’t get the chance to do it.
After all, the Alphas around him definitely didn’t take the child’s words lightly.
"Yunchae, my princess, you’re too young to even think about marriage!" Yun Inyeop said sternly. "And you can’t marry your uncle’s husband!"
"Why not, Appa?" Yun Yunchae asked her father innocently. "Divorce is legal in our country."
"Yun Yunchae, your Uncle Wonyoung and I won’t be divorcing anyti soon," Yun Dujun said, wrapping a protective arm around Wonyoung’s shoulders. "He’s my Oga."
Aigoo.
Wonyoung scrunched his nose.
Why would this sunbae-nim lie? We’re divorcing in a few months.
"Yunchae Noona, you can’t marry my papa!" Yun Yuhyun complained while hugging Wonyoung’s leg. "Daddy will cry if you steal Papa!"
Pfft.
Kang Chaein and An Baekya both smiled while shaking their heads.
Like Wonyoung, the two probably found the ’scene’ amusing.
Alphas can really be ridiculously possessive sotis.
***
"HOOBAE-NIM, you should eat your vegetables."
"I eat my vegetables, Sunbae-nim," Wonyoung said defensively while removing the pickles from his burger, and then he put them on Yun Dujun’s burger. "I just don’t like pickles on my burger."
Yun Dujun just sighed while shaking his head, but the Alpha let Wonyoung ’reconstruct’ his burger.
"You should have ordered your burger without pickles, then," Yun Inyeop scolded Wonyoung. "Why didn’t you say anything?"
"Dujun Sunbae-nim likes pickles, Hyung-nim. It’s cheaper if I give him my pickles instead of ordering an additional portion," Wonyoung answered politely. "And this is how Sunbae-nim and I eat our burgers ever since. I guess I got used to it."
"Why would you worry about saving money when you’re with Dujun— aw."
Yun Inyeop wasn’t able to finish his question because Kang Chaein gently elbowed her husband to make him stop talking.
Thank you, Noona.
Anyway, Wonyoung was eating with Yun Dujun, Yun Inyeop, and Kang Chaein.
Yun Yuhyun, An Baekya, and Yun Yunchae were playing in the inflatable playground in the corner of the restaurant.
The nannies and the bodyguards were keeping an eye on the kids, of course.
And, yes, everyone had food— the nannies, the bodyguards, the drivers, and the aides.
The Yuns aren’t stingy, after all.
"Wonyoung-ah, you and Dujun seem to be really close," Kang Chaein said, smiling. "I’m glad to see that you two have maintained your closeness."
"Sunbae-nim has a difficult personality," Wonyoung said jokingly, and he made it obvious that he was only ssing with Yun Dujun by smiling smugly. "Who else could handle Sunbae-nim but ?"
Kang Chaein laughed softly while Yun Inyeop remained indifferent.
"You’re right, Hoobae-nim," Yun Dujun said, suddenly placing his hand on the small of Wonyoung’s back. "You’re the only one who can handle ."
Aigoo!
This sunbae-nim is being touchy all of a sudden!
***
"FROM NOW on, you’re my little cousin as well."
An Baekya almost raised his eyebrow because of Yun Yunchae’s claim.
Fortunately, he was good at catching his expressions.
Anyway, he was chilling in the ball pit when Yun Yunchae approached him.
It seed like the ’older’ girl was already done playing in the inflatable slide.
So, now, she’s bothering .
An Baekya smiled ekly at Yun Yunchae anyway. "I’ll be grateful if you treat like your little cousin, Yunchae Noona."
Yun Yunchae furrowed her brows. "You’re talking like an old man, Baekya."
"That’s how he talks, Noona," Yun Yuhyun said firmly. This one was also done with the slides and was now bothering An Baekya like his older cousin. "And be careful! He acts nicely in front of the adults. But he’ll bully you when no one is looking!"
"Yuhyun-ah, that’s not true," An Baekya denied. "You’re the only one I tease because you react to everything well."
"I know, right?" Yun Yunchae agreed. "Yuhyun is fun to tease because he always overreacts."
"Noona, why are you taking An Baekya’s side?" Yun Yuhyun complained. "I’m your first cousin before him!"
Yun Yunchae shrugged. "I have a feeling that Baekya and I will get along really well."
Ah, how bittersweet.
An Baekya smiled bitterly as so of the mories of his first life resurfaced.
To be precise, he rembered the ti the older Yun Yunchae got him out of the villa where the older Yun Yuhyun had kept him imprisoned for so long.
He still rembered the conversation he had with that noona at the ti.
After all, it was what had saved him.
"Why did you save , Yunchae Noona?"
"Well, I just want to see Yuhyun go completely crazy. That brat pisses off these days with his arrogance. He’s already a top star, and yet he still wants to get his hand on the company. As if I’d let him steal what’s rightfully mine."
"Yuhyun will kill you for helping escape."
"I don’t think he’d be in his right mind to do that once you disappear, An Baekya."
"Are you going to kill , then?"
"The new shaman announced that the Yun Clan’s hidden treasure has finally erged."
"What does it have to do—"
"Apparently, the treasure can turn back ti."
"Bullshit."
"You may or may not believe it. But if you want to escape from Yun Yuhyun, you only have two options: to die or to be reborn again."
"Can you stop with that bullshit?"
"Uncle Dujun is already looking for that treasure, An Baekya. If he finds it before you, then it’s over— you’re going to die by Yun Yuhyun’s hands."
If Yun Dujun believed that bullshit, then was it possible that it was real?
"An Baekya, are you listening?"
"No, I’m sorry. I spaced out a bit," An Baekya said while shaking his head. "What did you say, Noona?"
"I said I’m hungry again," Yun Yunchae said, grabbing An Baekya by the hand and pulling him up effortlessly. Yes, Yun Yunchae was already that strong at 8 years old. "Let’s eat as many fries as we can since the adults rarely let us eat greasy food."
", too," Yun Yuhyun said while following An Baekya and Yun Yunchae. "I want to eat fries again!"
Haaah.
An Baekya was going crazy at how the three of them probably looked friendly now.
But we were trying to kill each other in the past tiline...
***
"HOOBAE-nim, I’ll carry Yuhyun— our son is heavy."
Yes, Wonyoung was carrying the sleeping Yun Yuhyun in his arms.
My baby fell asleep in the car.
It wasn’t a surprise since Yun Yuhyun ate and played a lot with An Baekya and Yun Yunchae.
I guess we can just give our graduation gifts to Yuhyun tomorrow.
Anyway...
Baekya must be tired, too.
"I’m not that weak, Sunbae-nim," Wonyoung said defensively. "Just look after Baekya."
Yun Dujun looked down at An Baekya. "Do you want to carry you, Baekya?"
"It’s okay, Abeoji," An Baekya said. "I’m not that tired."
"No, you look tired, Baekya."
And then Yun Dujun carried An Baekya effortlessly.
An Baekya looked startled, but he didn’t complain.
Pfft.
"Sunbae-nim, you shouldn’t have asked the kid if you were going to do what you wanted to do anyway."
"An Baekya is like you— he keeps saying he’s fine, even if he’s not," Yun Dujun said. "So, sotis, I need to be assertive."
Right.
’Assertiveness.’
And that reminded Wonyoung...
We need to talk about Dujun Sunbae-nim’s being touchy-feely later!
***
AN BAEKYA couldn’t sleep that night.
After all, the pop-up ssage from the System bothered him.
[Bae Wonyoung’s affection level for Yun Yuhyun has increased.
Once it reaches a certain threshold, your mind will start regressing to that of a real child, An Baekya.]
Fucking hell.
An Baekya couldn’t help but smile bitterly. "Appa, your love for Yun Yuhyun seems unconditional— with or without your mories."
***
[A week later...]
YUN DUJUN should be enjoying his ti with Yun Yuhyun in Finland.
However, one report from Han Myung completely ruined his mood.
"What do you an Bae Wonyoung is filming a kissing scene?"
As if for confirmation, Han Myung sent Yun Dujun a photo— a photo of Bae Wonyoung kissing another man.
What the fuck?
Yun Dujun almost broke the phone in his hand.
I’m sorry, Yuhyun— we’re returning to Korea now.
--- SEASON 1 END---

sola_cola: Look forward to Yun Dujun’s obsessed (and simp) era in Season 2! The Alpha gonna be Alpha-ing soon. Haha! Thank you so much for the support.
