Xiumin walked into the apartment, tired and exhausted from his activities for the day. You glanced at him from the kitchen with a calm smile. He lifted his fingers, signaling you to remain quiet. He wanted to surprise Hyunshik for coming home early that day.
“He’s asleep,” you said rather loudly. Xiumin gave you a bewildered look. “What do you mean he’s asleep at this hour? It’s only 6 in the evening.” His eyes traveled to the side window which was decorated with sunlight.
“I know. He was just really tired when he got back from school,” you replied.
“Apppaaaa!!” both you and Xiumin jumped around upon hearing Hyunshik’s cry. He wasn’t asleep after all.
“When did you wake up little one?” you asked as he ran toward his daddy.
“Just now when I heard the door open,” he replied. Xiumin lifted him up and planted a kiss on his puffy cheeks.
“You promised to take me to the park today. Can we go now?” he asked excitedly.
“Of course,” Xiumin replied. “I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” He let Hyunshik on the floor so they both could go and change.
A few minutes later, both father and son came out of the room dressed in matching red polo and khakis. You couldn’t help but shed a few tears. They both were your babies. Your cute little babies.
“Where did you guys get that from?” you asked.
“Appa got them last month remember?” Hyunshik said moving his big doughy eyes. You couldn’t recall but you pretended to remember.
“Aren’t you coming?” Xiumin asked you.
“I would love too but I still have to get dinner ready. Didn’t you say the members will be here by eight?” you asked.
“Yeah! I’m sorry it was so last minute,” he apologized.
“Oh don’t worry about it,” you said patting his shoulder lightly. The two boys held hands and walked out the door hoping and jumping. You want to hug them tightly and maybe take a picture or two but you were running out of time. You had a lot to get done.
***************************************************
“Seriously, how long will it take them to come back? ________ you need to control your boys,” Suho joked sternly.
“God knows,” you said shaking your head. Dinner was ready and everyone was already at the table. The door finally clicked open and in came Xiumin and Hyunshik holding ice creams in their hand.
“Are you kidding me?” you pouted.
“Opps sorry,” Both of them tried to hide the cones behind their backs. You looked at them furiously for their failed attempt and demanded that they give them to you. They obliged and the next second, the ice creams were in the trash. You couldn’t help but giggle on the inside though. Xiumin sat down with the other EXO members while you wiped Hyunshik’s chocolate covered face.
The members stayed long after, playing games, taking pictures and helping you clean up. It was a fun night. It always was when they all came. You and Xiumin got so busy with your work life that you hardly ever had fun. Hyunshik barely spent any time with you guys. This is why little promises like going to the park and having gatherings meant a lot to him.
**********************************************************
You and Xiumin lay in bed scrolling through the pictures from that night. Everybody looked so joyous. You couldn’t help but notice the matching twinkle in your husband and your child’s eyes.
“Thank you,” you blurted out of the blue.
“Thank you? For what?” Xiumin asked.
“For all of this!” you said.
“What do you mean?”
“For treating him like your own,” you said, looking away.
“He is my son,” Xiumin said pulling you closer.
“I know! I know,” you replied. He hugged you tightly and gave you a kiss on your temple. You couldn’t be more thankful to him for coming into your life and accepting you after your husband left you with a two month old son. You were more than grateful that your son had a father he could look up to. Xiumin and Hyunshik were the two best things that had ever happened to you.
