The Return Of Not-So-Superman Kwon Jiyong

Chapter 5: The Three Little Dragons

Dara cooked some food for breakfast and lunch and he planned to save some for his dinner but he was so hungry he ate it all. And now, what remains were the foods that Dara cooked for the triplets and that means he needed to cook himself his own dinner.

"At least, those rascals won't be poisoned with my cooking. At least. Not now," he consoled himself as he carefully scanned what they have inside their fridge.

"Ah... I know now." he snapped his fingers and looked around like an idiot avoiding the cameras. He scooted away and opened the cupboards, rummaging through it until he found what he needed.

"Aha!" He exclaimed before looking around once more and pointing at the camera that has been following his directions since earlier. He snatched a can of spam like a thief and started busying himself in the kitchen.

Somewhere during that time, the triplets started to wake up one by one. As usual, it was Yongdu who got up first. The little boy rubbed his eyes and upon noticing a movement in the corner of their room, he smiled and sat up.

"Appa?" he looked around and saw their father was nowhere to be found. He stood up and started walking towards the tent.

"Tamchonie annyeong," he greeted the camera man and the latter waved at him.

"Tamchon... Where's appa?" Yongdu asked as he rubbed his eyes. The man could just shake his head in response.

"Tamchonie don't talk?" the boy scratched his head and walked away and his eyes sparkled when he saw Yongse and Yong il stirring in their sleep.

"Yong illeee! Yongte-ah! Wake up! Wake up!" Yongdu jumped up and down. "Wake up! Tamchon will give candy again!"

"Huh?" Yongse sat up at the word 'candy' and rubbed his eyes. "Yong illeee, come on,"

But Yong Il was still so sleepy, and as if another replay of what happened that morning, the other two started attacking their brother, riding his back and tickling him until he started crying out loud.

"APPPAAAAAA!!! EOMMMAAAA!!!"

Jiyong immediately let go of his turner and sprinted upstairs as soon as he heard Yong il's voice and when he saw what Yongdu and Yongse were doing to Yong Il, his eyes widened in shock.

"Yah! Yah! What are you doing to your brother? Aisht!"

Yongdu and Yongse immediately scampered away leaving Yong Il crying and Jiyong could just carry the boy and comfort him. "Does it hurt? Huh? Tell appa where. Here? Here?" Jiyong asked but Yong Il just kept weeping. Jiyong took a deep breath and faced the two other boys.

"Yongdu, Yongse stay right here," Jiyong told the two, his face grim, his voice a contained sound of disappointment at his sons. Yongdu and Yongse must have sensed their father's mood.

"Appa hold Yongte too juteyooo," Yongse reached out to him but he backed away. To be honest, it broke his heart too but he has to let them know what they did to their brother was wrong.

"No," Jiyong stepped back. "You hurt your brother. Didn't eomma and appa tell you not to do that? I'm taking Yong il downstairs. Yongdu and Yongse should stay here. If you cry, appa will not hold you even more, you guys understand?"

"Appaaaa!!!" Yongse was about to cry out but Yongdu quickly stopped him even if he was already teary-eyed himself.

"Yongte don't. Appa will get mad. Shhh." Yongdu held his brother's hand while his own lips were curving down.

It pained Jiyong a lot but he tried all his might to keep it. "Wait for appa, okay? I'll be right back,"

Jiyong then took Yong il downstairs but he was surprised to see some smoke coming from the kitchen.
