The Return Of Not-So-Superman Kwon Jiyong

Chapter 2: Daddy Jiyong

"This might feel unfair to her." Jiyong said, his voice now low and calm after somehow realizing what he has done and how grave the situation has become. "Is there any upcoming projects for her?"

"A photoshoot and nothing more. You have turned down everything, Jiyong,"

"Fuck," he mouthed. "I'll convince her with the shoot. I'll just have to call her about this show you're offering me,"

"I was not offering it to you. You are under my agency. I signed it already. You're doing it."

"What??? Hyung!"

"Trust me, Jiyong. Just trust me on this."

************

"Baby... I'm sorry I might not be able to get home on time. Let's cancel the trip for now. I have a meeting with the staff and producer of a show in KBS..."

"KBS? Oh..." The other line went silent for a moment and it added more to his guilt. "What show? I didn't know you signed for it,"

"No, babe. Don't get me wrong." Jiyong heaved a sigh and rested his head against the wall, bumping his forehead against the hard pack of concrete. "I was surprised too. Hyung signed me up for it."

"Oh... But you said the kids will have to appear too right?"

"No, wait. If you don't want me and the kids do this, I will tell hyung to cancel it. They're still here. I can talk to them. We still have to arrange the necessary permits for the kids. That's too much work to do-"

"No... I'm fine with it. Don't worry, Ji. I think the kids will be fine. Besides the shoot will only be held two days in every month. I think we can make arrangements for it."

"Dara... "

"I've been checking out our SNS and it seems your fans really miss you so much." Dara chuckled. "Don't worry about us, hubby! Daddy Yong, fighting!!!" Dara cheered making Jiyong straighten up with a foolish smile on his face and soon he could hear Dara calling the boys to cheer for him as well.

"I'll put you on speaker wait. Yong-il, Yongdu, Yongse ah... Come here! Hurry! Uhm... We have an urgent situation right now."

"Waeyooo eomma?" Jiyong heard Yongdu ask.

"Everyone, listen. Hmm... Your appa... He cannot come home on time. Let's just visit halmeoni and harabeoji next time, okay? Appa is working right now. Say good luck to appa quick!"

"Appa? Where are you? Fighting!" It was Yong-il shyly mumbling his words. Jiyong smiled at his eldest son.

"Neh Yong-il. Thank you. Be good to your dongsaengs, neh? Help omma take care of them for appa, okay?"

"Neh!"

"Yongdu-ah... Cheer for appa come here," Dara called Yongdu but the boy just giggled mischievously.

"Andwae!"

"Yah, Yongdu ah..."

Jiyong chuckled when he heard the second to the eldest teasing him on the other line.

"Appa come home now ppalli," Yongdu said which left a pinch of guilt in Jiyong. "We are all ready,"

"I'm sorry, son... Appa cannot bring you to harabeoji and halmeoni's place today."

"Waeyoo?" It was Yongse asking like the curious boy that he is. "Appaaaaa... Come home quickly juteyo! Yong-il, Yongdu and Yongte want to go to halmeoni and halabeoji!"

"Yongse-ah... Appa can't really make it. I'm sorry. What do you guys want so appa can make it up to you?"

"Chocolate!" Yongse answered quickly. "Jut like what uncle Wiwi gave ut!"
