In the living room.
“Sis, I’ll be back immediately. I promise. After my performance, I will go home right away.” Haru said as he looked at Davi with saddened eyes. As one of the top idols, he was scheduled to perform on stage for a live audience music show so he was not allowed to miss it. That was why he must attend and wrap it up quickly.
“It’s fine okay? I won’t disappear so you don’t have to worry. You have the responsibility to please your fans so you must enjoy your show, make your fans happy and don’t be in a hurry, understand?” Davi replied and Haru was about to speak when he saw the father and son holding hands as they walked down the stairs.
Upon seeing them, Haru realized that he didn’t really need to return immediately so that he can give them their most awaited family time.
“Mm. I understand sis.” He said and hugged his sister before he bid farewell to the other two.
Haru then left in haste as Davi waved at him.
Little Shin then ran towards her and Davi lifted him up and carried him in her arms when a butler called the three of them for breakfast.
Time went by and as they were about to finish their breakfast, Little Shin sidled to his mom.
“Mom, today is Saturday so can the three of us go out?” He asked and Sei who was across them just remained quiet like he was just an observer in the sideline.
“Of course. The commander surprisingly gave me a day off so I’m free today.” She replied and little Shin yelled a cheerful “yay” before he briefly glanced at his father meaningfully.
“And where would you want to go?” Sei finally spoke.
“Amusement park.” Little Shin immediately replied at his father before he returned his gaze towards his mother.
“Mom, is it okay with you?” he asked and Davi agreed without any hesitation. She just wanted her son to be happy so there’s no way she could ever reject such a request from her son. And besides, she thought that maybe, going out like this and spending more time in a lively place with her two beloved might be a big help to her condition.
“Mm. Let’s go.” She said and Sei smiled.
After their breakfast, Little Shin and Davi were left in the kitchen while Sei went away to receive a call.
The mother and son were having a blissful conversation about the amusement park when little Shin asked a seemingly off topic question.
“Mom, how could you say that a person is cute?” he asked.
“Hmm… when a person is adorably pleasing. Just like you, you’re the cutest in the world because everything about you is adorable. Especially when you smile, pout and puff your cheeks.” She answered but Little Shin just tilted his head.
“Is there any way to become even more cuter?” He asked again and Davi just answered him.
“Hmm… if I’d like to turn you more cuter, I would definitely love to dress you up with a super cute costume.” She replied as she gently pinched his cheeks when Sei came back.
“We will leave after an hour.” He said and the mother and son excitedly stood up.
The three left the dining room and Davi immediately went upstairs to ready the things little Shin might need, leaving the two standing on the stairs.
“Dad…” Little Shin called his father’s attention and signaled him to bend so he could whisper to him.
“I asked mom about what makes a person cute and she said she finds it cute when a person smiles, so you have to smile a lot from now on dad.” The little guy said and Sei’s lips could only curve up. He could see that his son was trying his best so even though he wanted to tell him there’s no need for him to act cute or anything, he still listened to him.
“Also, she said she found it cute when I pout and puff my cheeks… but I never saw you pout or puff your cheeks before so I think this might be a challenge for you because you’re an adult. But still, for the sake of mom, how about you try, dad? It’s pretty easy to pout.” He continued as he started demonstrating how to pout so seriously that Sei could only fall speechless.
“Dad, how about you practice with me? You can pout like this.” Little Shin said as he pouted.
“…”
Sei couldn’t even speak as he watched his son intently showing him how to pout, like a little teacher.
“C’mon dad, didn’t you say you would do your best?” The little said and Sei could only rub the back of his neck.
“Little Shin, your father is an adult. It’s weird for a big man to do that.” He replied and the little guy puffed his cheeks with disappointment.
Looking at his disappointed face, Sei landed his hand on his head and he ruffled his hair.
“You don’t have to worry. Your father has a weapon much more lethal than cuteness.” He continued and Little Shin’s eyes fluttered with excitement.
“Just don’t forget about our plan for today, understand?”
“Yes, dad. Rest assured.”
