Meanwhile, a certain couple behind some bushes was somehow in an awkward position. Well, a while ago, the three of them snuck out into the courtyard for their next mission and their role this time was to act like professional paparazzi. Little Shin, who was very fond of Zaki, refused to be left behind so he clung onto Zaki.
Thus, in the end, Hinari was the one who took the job of the gossiping photographer while Zaki was the babysitting mother carrying Little Shin behind her. The little guy wished to see the fireflies and his dad’s proposal so Zaki and Hinari could only give in and take him with them.
However, when the steamy moment suddenly appeared, the two almost had a heart attack. Gladly, Hinari was able to react and she immediately jumped unto Zaki. Zaki was forced to fall in the ground as he protected Little Shin well. Of course, the one who jumped at them also ended up straddling Zaki as she attempted to block little Shin’s view.
Thus, they were suddenly in an awkward position where Little Shin was sandwiched between them. Well, Hinari was holding two cameras in her hands so this was the only thing she could do to prevent little Shin from seeing the steamy scene.
“Auntie, what happened?” little Shin immediately spoke, maybe because of surprise and Hinari was startled. She immediately jumped off from Zaki as she made sure that Little Shin couldn’t see anything from behind her.
“U-uhm… hehe, I got a little bit scared. I thought I saw a ghost. Ahahaha.” Hinari answered as she laughed awkwardly when Zaki finally talked as well.
“Okay, this is enough, Little Shin. It’s time for you to go to sleep.” Zaki said as he positioned little Shin in a way that he could bury the little guy’s face on his shoulders.
“Yes, yes. You already saw the fireflies and your mommy already said “yes” so let’s go now, okay?” Hinari also butted in to persuade their baby and finally, Little Shin nodded.
The babysitters then immediately snuck out of the courtyard and when they were back to the living room, they finally felt relieved. Since their self-appointed role of being gossiping paparazzo was done for now and all they had to do now was wait for the couple to come out, Hinari and Zaki’s job changed to being glorified babysitters again. Their mission was to put the little prince to sleep. Well, they couldn’t let Sei see that Little Shin was still awake at this time so they could only quickly put the boy to sleep now.
“Uhm, little Shin. You must sleep now. You did a great job tonight but it’s already quite late.” Zaki said as he put him down on the bed. However, time passed and the boy was still wide awake.
“I’m sorry uncle, I can’t seem to sleep.” The little guy said. His innocent eyes were just like Sei when he was so innocent back then.
Seeing this excessive cuteness, Hinari who was checking out the photos she took suddenly spoke.
“Beau— Zaki, I think you should try putting him to sleep in your arms.” She said and Zaki immediately did what she said. He sat on the headboard as he embraced little Shin but it was no use. There was no sign of him falling asleep soon.
“You should stand Zaki.” Hinari said again and the man stood right away.
“You should dance.” She added but this time, Zaki looked at her with his brows creased.
“I mean, you sway like this a little. It will help the child sleep faster.” She continued as she gestured the move. Zaki didn’t move for a long while but he soon obeyed Hinari’s advice in the end.
The man then swayed with a little guy in his arms, not knowing that Hinari was taking a video of him as she pressed her lips tightly to not let her chuckle out. Well, Zaki was just so adorably cute too when he’s like this.
Time passed and just as the two of them thought that the boy was about to sleep, Little Shin suddenly let out a cute chuckle, startling the two of them.
“Little Shin, why are you laughing? Can’t you see I’m trying my hardest to put you to sleep?” Zaki said and the little guy stopped chuckling and he spoke.
“I’m sorry uncle but there’s no use. I really can’t sleep and… and I just thought about you being a mother in my mind and it was just so funny. I’m sorry.”
Zaki: “…”
Hinari: “…?!!!!!!!”
As soon as those words left Little Shin’s mouth, the room went unbelievably silent. However, the next moment, Hinari finally burst and she laughed so hard.
Seeing Hinari laughing so hard that her arms wrapped around her stomach, Zaki bit his lip and he spoke firmly.
“Hinari, stop laughing and do something, or else…” When Hinari heard those words, she didn’t know why but the continuation that appeared across her mind was ’or else, Sei will feed you to the crocodiles’ and she snapped.
She immediately became serious and when an idea appeared in her brain, she clicked her fingers.
“Ugh! How could we forget the power of milk?” she said. “Okay, I’ll go get some from downstairs.”
As she held the doorknob, Hinari halted and she suddenly turned towards Zaki.
“Uhm… no one’s downstairs right? Why don’t we all go?” She said and Zaki could only sigh as he walked towards the door. While they were walking down the stairs, Little Shin spoke.
“Auntie, why are you such a scaredy cat when you’re already a big lady?” he asked innocently and Hinari just laugh again.
“Hehe… all pretty ladies are scaredy cats, don’t you know? Even your mom was a scaredy cat back then. Meaning, being a scaredy girl is a sign that the girl is among the most attractive.” She replied and Little Shin tilted his head as though he was thinking about what she said.
“Oh, I see.” He then said when Zaki interjected.
“Don’t believe her, she’s just kidding.” Zaki uttered and Hinari puffed her cheeks. But before she could retort, Little Shin spoke.
“But I think auntie is saying the truth. My mommy is the most beautiful but auntie is also beautiful. If you won’t marry Auntie Hinari, when I grow up, I will.”
Hinari: “…!”
Zaki: “….?!!!!!!”
