"Are we ready?!"

Hanuel and chan cheers thier lungs out as seokmin hypes them up. Everyone were dressed up to go the famous hamdeok beach of jeju. Joshua sitting on the passanger seat with seokmin with chan on his lap. Seungcheol, Jeonghan with hanuel were at the back.

"Daddy, do you know how to swim?" Hanuel questions seungcheol who nods his head and ruffles hanuel's hairs. "I do, do you want to learn?" Hanuel yells a yes as he kisses his cheeks. Chan from front also climbs up on Joshua's lap. "Me too!" He shouts beside Joshua's ears who pulls his child down.

"Sit tight before I transfer you over to your daddy's lap" Joshua says to chan who pokes his tongue out at him before turning his attention to the front. "This child.." Joshua groans causing everyone to laugh.

As they reach the beach, they quickly change into their swimsuits and head towards the water. Hanuel and Chan were ecstatic as they ran towards the waves, with Seungcheol and Jeonghan following closely behind. Seokmin and Joshua were busy setting up the beach umbrellas and chairs while keeping an eye on the kids.

Hanuel was hesitant at first to go into the water, but Seungcheol held his hand and guided him in. Jeonghan was busy building sandcastles with Chan, who was giggling uncontrollably.

Seokmin and Joshua were taking turns playing beach volleyball with some locals.As the day went on, they all took turns swimming, playing games, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. They even had a picnic on the beach, with Seokmin showing off his cooking skills by making delicious sandwiches and fruit salads.

As the sun began to set, they all gathered around a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. Hanuel and Chan were exhausted from all the fun, and Seungcheol and Jeonghan were cuddled up together, watching the stars.

"This was the best day ever!" Hanuel exclaimed, snuggling up to Seungcheol. "Can we come back tomorrow?"

"Of course, buddy," Seungcheol replied, ruffling his hair.

"He looks so happy" Jeonghan comments with a proud smile on his face and seungcheol agrees. His hand still over jeonghan's back who was looking at chan with his chin placed over seungcheol's chest. They know something has changed between them after the kiss they have shared yesterday.

Both of them remembers each and every second of it.

The way their lips had met so gently, the way their hearts had raced in sync, and the way their bodies had pressed against each other in that moment of pure bliss. It was a kiss that had changed everything, a kiss that had ignited a fire within them that they couldn't ignore.

But as they lay there, basking in the afterglow of their shared secret, they couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty.

Jeonghan shifted slightly, his head still resting on Seungcheol's chest. He looked up at Seungcheol, his eyes searching for answers, for reassurance. Seungcheol met his gaze, his hand still lingering on Jeonghan's back, providing a comforting touch.

"I never thought this would happen between us," Jeonghan whispered, his voice filled with a mix of awe and vulnerability.

Seungcheol smiled softly, his thumb gently caressing Jeonghan's cheek. "Me neither, but I'm glad it did."

Seungcheol looks at Jeonghan lying on his chest, and his hands move to his hair from his back. His fingers thread through his locks as he pushes them back lovingly--

Lovingly?

Seungcheol is brave, yet he feels so scared. The hidden feelings that he knows he has grown with, he is scared to explore them. What if he fails them? Will Jeonghan even accept him, along with a child and his busy schedule as an actor?
