“Little Shin, stay with your mom.” Sei said as he looked towards his little son meaningfully before he strode towards the door like flash, as though he was showing his son that he can’t compete to him yet.
“Wait. I’m really alrig—” Before Davi could even finish her statement, Sei already left the room. Leaving her without a choice but sigh. She then moved to leave the bed when Little Shin returned to her.
Looking at him, Davi’s eyes widen and she halted as she looked at her son. It was because Little Shin’s face looks so disappointed, as though he just lost a certain important battle.
“Mommy… I’m sorry I’m not being useful. But don’t worry, I will grow up fast and have long legs too like dad so I can run fast, even faster than him and be a big help to you.” The little guy said with lots of wishful thinking as he pouts while his eyes were wandering around.
That moment, Davi’s nose almost bled with the overflowing cuteness of her little prince.
’God… my baby is sooo cute when he pouts.’ She could only scream within her before she knelt on the floor and embraced the adorably irresistible little bun as tight as she could. She couldn’t believe that he was this adorable even though he looks dejected. At the same time, Davi was even in awe that Little Shin actually felt defeated by his dad and was thinking he’s not useful.
“What are you saying? You’re already a big, big help to mommy just by staying here with me, so don’t say sorry, okay? Little Shin is like a medicine to mommy’s heart so don’t ever say you’re not being useful, you understand?” Davi assured Little Shin as she gently rubbed his son’s head. Hearing her words, little Shin nodded and his grip on her tightened.
After a while, the little guy loosened up and his gloomy feeling seemed to finally dissipated. Davi then held his shoulders and made him looked at her.
“Also, you don’t have to be in a rush growing up, okay?” She said and little Shin slightly tilted his head.
“Why?” he curiously and innocently asked and Davi fell silence for a while.
“Mm… b-because if you grow up fast… then, you will also quickly lose your cuteness. You will become just like your dad who wasn’t cute anymore and turn handsome.” She answered. Well, Davi was simply spouting the best reason she could think of. She does not wish her baby to grow up just yet. She wanted him to stay this cute and small a little bit longer.
“So, mommy prefers cute over handsome?” little Shin asked expectantly and Davi flickered before she nodded like a rattle.
“So, mommy prefer the cute me over handsome dad?” Little Shin continued and Davi’s eyes widen for a bit. The little guy looked at her with such intensity as though he was really eager and anticipating on her answer. Causing Davi to immediately give him her answer.
“Of course. I love my cute baby the most. Because Little Shin is the cutest in the whole wide world.” She replied and Little Shin’s mouth opened as the stars in his adorable eyes blasted one after another. He looked extremely ecstatic as he embraced his mother lovingly.
Meanwhile, the gorgeous and drop dead handsome man who happened to hear Little Shin’s last question and Davi’s heartfelt answer remained rooted on the floor just beside the door. A glass of water was in his hand while his gaze was locked onto the mother and son embracing before him. He knew that Davi’s attention was no longer for him exclusively, however, witnessing himself being dethroned by his very own son from being Davi’s most beloved somehow made him felt this tingling sour feeling.
Gladly, the two finally separated so Sei walked towards them.
“I brought water. You should drink this.” Sei said and the two raised their heads and looked at him before Davi slowly stood.
“Thank you.” She said gratefully before she gulped the water.
Later on, Davi entered the bathroom, leaving the father and son sitting quietly in the sofa. They were silent and unmoving. They both have those same stoic expressions that will only change once their sun appeared. There was a huge gap between them as though they were in a cold war. Until Sei was the first to break the silence.
“Little Shin. I have something to tell you.” Sei said and Little Shin immediately turned his head towards his dad.
He could tell in one glance that his dad was serious so Little Shin could only look at him intently as though he was telling him he was ready to listen.
“Let’s go talk to the study.” Sei said as he stood and Little Shin could only crease his brows. However, he still obediently followed his father because he knew he can’t be stubborn when this father of his was this serious. At the same time, little Shin was also curious about what his father wanted to tell him that they even need to talk privately.
…
Inside a quiet and spacious study room, the father and son were staring at each other quietly as they sat across each other.
“Dad, what is it?” This time Little Shin broke the silence.
“How do you feel that your mother is living with us again?”
“Happy. Extremely happy.”
“Do you want her to stay with us forever?”
“Of course. Is that even a question?”
“Are you willing to do everything to make her stay?”
“Absolutely yes.”
“Are you willing to cooperate with me?”
“If that’s what it takes for mommy to stay, then yes, I’m willing.”
The Q and A was extremely fast paced that there’s no single wasted second between asking and answering. Little Shin answered his father this way as he is accustomed with this kind of questioning. The little boy answered with no hesitation while the father also asked without beating around the bush.
“Good boy.” Sei said as he ruffled his son’s hair while the little guy looked at him with his puzzled face.
“Dad, is there a problem?” The little guy asked and Sei glanced at him before he answered.
“Mm. There’s actually a huge problem.”
