That Day When Cale Became A Baby

9

Basen stirs from his sleep. It wasn't a deep kind of sleep anyway as he felt like his head will split in two and his body floating on the void. Even though the second born of the Henituse family is not as skilled as the youngest in terms of physical skills, Basen rarely gets sick.

Why did it have to happen now? He wanted to visit his hyung again in his villa, bring him sweet snacks and toys, play with him as much as he can but now Basen is afraid that he might pass the flu into his little hyung.

His throat is parched and he wants to drink water. Basen willed his eyes to open so that he could get up and reach the glass of water that a servant had placed there earlier.

"Se~n..." Ahh he must be hallucinating, why can he hear the sweet voice of his hyung? That is what Cale called him the last time Basen saw him in his cute little baby form. His fever must have spiked up.

But as the brunette opened his eyes, a cute, familiar face was the first thing he saw. Basen lifted up his hand to check if it was a figure of his imagination but to his surprise, his hands touched warmth as another pair of small hands wrapped into his own.

"Sen, hyung is heew."

"Wait... Am I dreaming?" He asked himself.

"Oh, Sen is stiw sleepy?"

Basen's heavy sleepiness magically dispersed as he realized his hyung is truly in front of him, now bigger than the last time he saw him. "Hyung! W-wa-wait, what?!"

Cale bursts into jolly giggles as he watches his younger brother sit up so fast while his arms are flailing around. He must have found the reaction so funny that he fell onto the bed laughing. "Sen, why aw you soo silly?" He said while sitting up again and he wrapped his arms around his younger brother and kissed him in his face so many times. Basen's heart was wrapped in warmth as he also lifted his hands and hugged the little body of his beloved hyung.

"Hyung... You grew up so fast." Basen said still shocked to see the difference in Cale's size.

"I wiw gwow up fast, Sen! I wiw pwotec you!" Cale said, hugging even firmly. "You hungwy? I ask Gwampa Won fo soup." Right at that moment the door of Basen's chamber opened and their old butler, Ron pushed a food cart inside. He stopped next to his bed and uncovered the still steaming soup on it. 

"Hans said you did not eat before you slept, young master Basen. Please have some of this soup that our little young master Cale has requested."

Basen gasped as he listened to the words of their butler. "Yes! And you take medicine, Sen! You wiw feew betteh." His hyung said with a face still in a bright smile. The brunette's eyes heated up as he teared up and his hyung must have seen it because the smile in his face disappeared and it was replaced by worry. "Oh, no~ you okey?? Is yow tummy ache?" He asked with his little hands going into Basen's stomach.

But Basen just laughed and shook his head and he hugged his hyung again. "No, hyung. I am alright. I am just really very happy to see you. I missed you so much."

"Ehe~ silly Sen. Hyung is heew. I wiw pwotec you so eat the soup, okeh?"
