The Return Of Not-So-Superman Kwon Jiyong

Chapter 5: The Three Little Dragons

"What the- Oh shit!!!" He gasped upon remembering that he was frying his dinner a.k.a. Spam and he quickly carried Yong Il with him only to see something black on the frypan. He turned off the stove in discarded the burnt pieces to the garbage bin but let out a not-so-manly shriek when he felt the hot handle burn his skin.

"Aaaaah!!!"

"Appa!" Yong Il stopped crying, concerned about and scared for his father. "Appa!"

Jiyong washed his hand in running water and he sighed in relief when the pain ceased.

"Appa? Appa! Gwaenchana? Huh? Appa?" Yong il held his father's face and rubbed his cheeks and when Jiyong saw the worry painted all over his son's face, he hugged him tightly and kissed him.

"I'm fine, Yong il. Appa's fine. Don't worry anymore okay?"

Jiyong smiled when he felt Yong Il hug him tighter and he sighed in defeat when he turned around and saw the chaos in their kitchen.

"I wonder what time will we ever get to eat dinner." he shook his head and smiled helplessly. He then took Yong il to the living room and settled him down.

"Don't worry anymore, hmm? Are you still hurting?"

Yong il shook his head and Jiyong kissed him. "Do you want to play with your brothers?"

"Neh..."

"Okay. Wait for your brothers. I'll get them, okay?"

"Neh..."

"Good boy." Jiyong stood up and dashed upstairs to the triplets' room. He found Yongdu and Yongse facing the glass doors to the balcony and seated on the floor.

"Boys," he sat on his knees and called them and the two immediately turned around.

"Come here," Jiyong opened his arms and urged them to come to him. "Appa is not mad anymore, come."

"Appa!" Yongdu and Yongse hugged him. "Appa mianhe,"

"Appa and Eomma always tell Yong il, Yongdu, Yongse not to fight with each other right? "

"Neh... But Yongdu and Yongte didn't fight with Yong il." Yongdu explained.

"Yongdu Yongte jut woke Yong il up," Yongse seconded, still hiccuping after crying earlier.

"But you hurt your brother. If you were in his case, will you not cry too? Wouldn't it be painful too?"

"Painful," the two answered.

"So now, you know you have hurt Yong il, what should you do?"

Yongdu and Yongse looked at each other and lowered their heads.

"Appa is asking you... " Jiyong squinted his eyes at the boys.

"Apologite," Yongdu murmured.

"Sorry, appa didn't hear you. What did you say?"

"Yongdu Yongte will tay torry to Yong illeee." Yongse answered.

"Yes. That's right. Yongdu and Yongse should say sorry to Yong il. Now come on boys. Apologize to your hyung."

"Appa not mad at Yongdu Yongte anymore?" Yongdu asked.

"Appa was mad... But not at you guys, okay? Everytime you fail, it makes appa veeery mad... At himself. Because as you kids fail, it makes us fail as parents too,"

"Huh?" Yongdu and Yongse looked at each other in confusion.

"Come on now. Let's go downstairs. You guys kiss and make up and then wait for appa to prepare you dinner okay?" Jiyong then carried the two in his arms and went down to the living room.
