The Villain's Mother

058

That evening, Ruan Lisa asked Little Woo to sleep over in Song Jungkook's room so she could have one night's break. Little Woo very reluctantly agreed.

Little Woo was only wearing cartoon underwear. His little legs were slowly moving, and he kept looking back. "Mom, you really don't want me to sleep with you? You won't be scared without me?"

Seemingly unselfish and unbiased, Ruan Lisa shook her head. "No need, I won't be scared. Go look for your dad."

Little Woo deeply sighed like a little adult. "You're not reluctant to part with me at all. Never mind, I'll go."

He left right after saying that.

Ruan Lisa was very amused by him.

Before Ruan Lisa's behavior had taken a turn, Little Woo and Song Jungkook had an extremely good relationship. However, in a parent-child relationship, a father truly couldn't replace the role of the mother. A child had an innate sense of dependence and nostalgic love for his or her mother. And so, after Ruan Lisa had changed and was willing to be close to Little Woo, Song Jungkook's spot in Little Woo's heart had quietly moved a bit.

Of course, in Little Woo's heart, it would be perfect if he could sleep with his dad and mom.

Sitting in bed and with his back leaning on a pillow, Little Woo  thought of today's wedding and asked, "Dad, did you and mom have a wedding too?"

Song Jungkook was currently tidying up his desk. Hearing these words, he nodded. "Yes."

It was only that Ruan Lisa and his wedding wasn't warm and romantic like Li Taehyung's. Neither of them truly loved the other. Even when they were making their vows, it was like they were reading a textbook. There was no sense of real feelings. Now that he was thinking about it, their wedding had been utterly dull.

"Why didn't you take me along?" Little Woo asked.

Song Jungkook laughed. He answered, "You weren't born yet, so of course you didn't see the wedding and we couldn't bring you there."

"Then where was I?" At three-year-old, children were most keen to learn new things. At this age, children would be interested in everything. Often, adults wouldn't know how to answer the question they asked.

Even though Little Woo was only three years old and it would be easy to deceive him, Song Jungkook didn't want to lie to Little Woo.

He seriously thought about it before answering, "At that time, you were in your mom's belly."

A shotgun wedding was no longer a novel thing in modern society. When a couple got married, relatives on both sides would probingly ask if the woman was pregnant. This wasn't anything bad. On the contrary, a pregnancy would be something to celebrate for many families. Even so, Song Jungkook still felt awkward straightforwardly admitting to his young son that his parents had bought their tickets after getting on the bus.

Little Woo asked another question. "Does Uncle Li's bride have a baby in her belly too?"

Song Jungkook: "... No."

Little Woo asked, "Oh. Hmm, then why did your bride's belly have me?"

As it turned out, not all brides had babies in their bellies.

Song Jungkook: ".... That's because..." He paused. Looking at his utterly guileless son, he slowly answered, "You're an especially fast swimmer. You have tenacious vitality. En, you're very amazing and awesome."
