Second chance

#3

"Papa,look at me!",Sunjeong bounced his body excitedly on the horse while Sungchan recorded him with his phone as he rode another horse,they both are currently on the merry-go-round as Sunjeong wanted to.

They have been at Everland for two hours as Sunjeong wanted to play all the games however,not all games are allowed due to his age and height. Sungchan saw the boy was sulking so he persuade him by riding the merry-go-round together.When they done,Sungchan helped Sunjeong to walk down from his ride and took the big teddybear that he won for Sunjeong before he realized that Sunjeong running out from the place,which makes Sungchan hurriedly ran to catch up on the boy.

Sunjeong stopped infront of a rollercoaster then turned to Sungchan who was approaching him,with his arm hugging the teddybear."Papa,i want to ride this.It's for kids so I can ride it right?",Sunjeong pointed to the ride excitedly which Sungchan lowered his body until the same level of Sunjeong,"okay,everything for you",he said.Sunjeong jumped happily then ran to one of the staff who's standing near the gate. The staff assisted on measuring Sunjeong's height while Sungchan observing both of them, but then the staff shooked his head to Sunjeong,"sorry kid,you still need to grow 2cm for this ride",the staff then turned to Sungchan,"sorry sir",he apologized.

Sungchan looked at Sunjeong pouted as he looked down on the ground.He couldn't stand seeing Sunjeong being sad so he planned to bribe the staff and maybe he can sit beside Sunjeong and hold him for safety,which he dont know whether that's a good idea or not.

But then,Sunjeong suddenly raised his head as he looked directly to Sungchan then smiled widely,"then i will eat a lot of food so that i can grow taller like Papa.Then can we come back here Papa?",he asked.Sungchan ruffled Sunjeong's hair,"of course",he answered making Sunjeong cheered before he turned back to Sungchan,"then can we come back with Appa?",he blinked his eyes repeatedly trying to persuade Sungchan.

Sungchan felt a pang to his chest as he knew who is Sunjeong referring to.He started to feel conflicted either he wants to follow his ego or making Sunjeong happy,also unsure if Wonbin is okay with it.Technically he just dont want to engage with Wonbin anymore,or maybe his heart said the opposite.

He got back to his senses when Sunjeong shaked his arms trying to get his attention as Sungchan hurriedly lowered his head to look at Sunjeong,"Can we come back here with Appa,Papa?",Sunjeong asked while pouted,obviously he got tricks.Sungchan sighed then smiled as he lowered his body until the same level,"Of course",he answered making Sunjeong cheered excitedly before he jumped to Sungchan for a hug.Sungchan hugged the boy back,he will think about Wonbin later.

Wonbin was waiting at the living room as he heard a car parked outside,signalling Sungchan just arrived.Usually he will nagged at Sungchan for coming back home late but this time,he don't think he has the right to do that anymore.

The door opened with Sungchan's driver walked in with his hands full of shopping bags and a big teddybear,gaining Wonbin's attention as he approached the driver.

"What's all this?",he asked the driver.

"It's—"

"You can just put it on the sofa",Sungchan ordered as he walked in while lifting a sleeping Sunjeong lying peacefully his head on Sungchan's shoulder.The driver nodded as he put all the things before he excused himself while Sungchan walked upstairs and entered the room that used to be his and Wonbin's. He slowly put Sunjeong on the bed and covered the boy with blanket when he heard Wonbin coming from behind,"Here",he gave the teddybear to Sungchan."Thanks",Sungchan didnt bare an eye at all as he took the teddybear and put it beside Sunjeong.They both slowly walked out from the room,didnt want to wake Sunjeong up.

As Sungchan closed the door,he turned and automatically facing Wonbin who obviously demanded an explanation. "Eunseok already told me everything",Wonbin told him.Sungchan nodded,"Don't worry about it.I will look for another house and will take care of Sunjeong so you can just stay here",he told Wonbin.He wanted to walk away when Wonbin stopped him,gripped his arm,"We can't do that",he interrupted.

Sungchan turned back to Wonbin while the younger released his grip,"i know we are not in good terms right now but..i don't want Sunjeong to only have one parent",he told Sungchan.Sungchan was stunned with Wonbin's request as he turned silence.

He was deep in thoughts as he know what is Wonbin heading to.Wonbin doesnt want Sunjeong to end up like him.Wonbin have being abandoned by his parents when he's a child so he never experienced parents's love and affection,not until he dated Sungchan.The Jung's family always treated him well especially Taeyong or they called as Bubu,who always taking care of Wonbin.

Sungchan acknowledges that and he lowkey agreed on Wonbin,although his ego still lingering in his head on wanting to bring Sunjeong and leave Wonbin here."I don't know about him but something in me feels like he didn't get the love that he supposed to get before,and by ignoring this may makes us becoming selfish..and i don't want to risk that especially for an innocent child like him",Wonbin explained,trying to negotiate with Sungchan.

Sungchan rolled his eyes then sighed,"okay let us just stay together",he responded, gaining a smile from Wonbin.Wonbin worried about the boy but at the same time he doesn't want Sungchan to leave him.

"We haven't clean the guest room so i'm gonna ask the maid to clean it up tomorrow.In the meantime,you go sleep in the room with him cause I'm afraid he will wake up and scared of being alone",he told Wonbin.

Wonbin furrowed his eyebrows,"what about you?",he asked.Sungchan shooked his head,"don't worry about me,i will sleep at the living room",he told Wonbin.

"But—"

"Just sleep in there,i don't want you to get cold",Sungchan ordered then walked downstairs leaving Wonbin.Deep down he knows he still care of Wonbin,but he still felt hurt of what Wonbin did to him. He just unsure on what he feels so he decided to walked away before he ended up creating a scene infront of Wonbin.

Wonbin looked at Sungchan leaving him as guilt engulfed him seeing Sungchan sleeping at the living room.He knows Sungchan cared for him but at the same time he blamed himself because if not because of him,they can just share the bed with Sunjeong like a happy family that Wonbin used to dream of.Wonbin looked down to the floor,

"I guess it's all my fault"
