Since the divorce, Wooyoung has endured five tough months, but he is gradually improving. Wooyoung had the strength to assert that he is at least okay through numerous breakdowns, panic attacks, and depressive episodes. He had lately arranged for his child to return home, which in a way served to divert him.
While Wooyoung knew the burning question his son wanted to ask he never got it. Woobin never questioned Wooyoung about it for whatever reason. Wooyoung is in a manner eternally grateful because he wasn't prepared to tell his kid the bad news. In any case, Wooyoung was aware that the youngster was not stupid nor unaware of the departure of his other father, but that the moment will come eventually and that he must be prepared.
In any case, Wooyoung's buddies have been his greatest blessing. They have assisted him in numerous ways in caring for Binnie while Wooyoung had to travel for work, helping him become stronger and stay on his feet. One person in particular who appeared more frequently was Mingi.
They've hit it all so beautifully since that night when they hung out as a group. In fact, everything has advanced because they now go on dates and engage in family-like activities. Even Wooyoung had presented him to his parents, who adored him to pieces. Not simply for his money, but also for the kind disposition he abandoned. Having him around for Wooyoung was honestly too good to be true after all they had learned about one another, yet occasionally he seemed wrong.
Mingi occasionally would just appear where Wooyoung was. Wooyoung initially thought it was cute and funny, but after a few more times, he found it to be frightful, especially since he hadn't let anyone know where he was going. His once-pleasant, effervescent mood would turn into excruciating dread every time he saw him across the street, but he was afraid to approach him.
He was wary of upsetting the other guy, especially after observing the homicidal glare he gave people whenever they spoke to him. Wooyoung was unaware of it until he unintentionally caught sight of the glance and the firm grip the stronger man was holding him in. It was warm, but now that he looked back, he saw that it was one of the obvious warning signs of someone becoming possessive.
Regardless, Wooyoung might be overly expressive, especially when his son developed an excessive fondness for Mingi. He therefore made every effort to control his paranoia and overthinking and put his attention on what would be to his advantage. But of course Wooyoung's life is not perfect.
Wooyoung heard his doorbell ring as he was getting ready for work after dropping his child off at school. He initially believed it might be one of his friends or maybe Mingi, whom he was trying to avoid, but when he glanced out the door, he saw someone he had never anticipated seeing—not ever since the divorce, of course.
"What are you-" he couldn't even finish his sentence feeling the warm hold on his hands.
"Baby, please...I'm so sorry for the hurtful words I said..all the unforgivable actions I've done that created this separation in our family ...youngie I love you and I miss you and our son so much, please...I promise you I'm a new man now...I gave up going to clubs and drinking and I'm trying to better myself all for my son...all for you to take me back...please" To see how vulnerable and guilty Chan looked, Wooyoung almost leaped at the opportunity to get their family back, but thinking of all the verbal abuse and gaslighting he experienced he never felt more turned off by the idea.
" Chan...listen I can see the change in your eyes yes but...I need time before I can even trust you...the memories just hurt too bad and it took me too long to get over them....however, I can't stop you from seeing your son at least...you deserve at least that but if you hurt him I hurt you..."
" thank you so much youngie! I will not take this for granted and hopefully, we can fix this..." he said with hopeful eyes
" yeah I promise though... I'll see you soon I gotta head to work
" Okay be careful at work...and you look beautiful by the way," Chan said with a warm smile before walking away. For some reason hearing the compliment was kind of heartwarming for him. He felt his chest flutter with butterflies...but at the same time, it stung with the salty memories. Shaking his head, he continued on with his day.
Chan started showing up frequently from that day on, which Wooyoung initially found bothersome. However, after noticing the joy on his son's face, he started to warm up to the visits. Even further, Chan had started leaving him a new rose and a letter each day. Even though there was just one rose, the note that was included in it added to its own sweetness that made Wooyoung melt.
With the relationship slowing getting better, Wooyoungs found himself leaning in towards Chans affection...and forgetting about Mingi....that wasn't good at all. As the days grow shorter, wooyoung found himself being out at night more then he wanted to all because of his work. And adding to that he had to get his son from Chan every night because he couldn't get him from school. Bud even in those peaceful beautiful snowy nights, he felt the upmost paranoia. He hadn't talked to Mingi in over 3 weeks but from that time he's been spammed with calls messages and much more. When he finally blocked mingi it only got slightly worse as the calls began to come from different numbers and the text messages began o grow weirder.
" why are you being like this..."
" baby I love you! We were perfect!"
" did that mean nothing"
" Fine then...you asked for this.."
Regardless he ignored them and even went as far as changing his phone number which has been working...however every step he took he felt the bone chilling glare of eyes on his every move. It was slowly driving him crazy and the goosebumps were almost part of his skin at this rate...but he never let it show.
Even when others would ask about Mingi, he'd simply lie and say that he had to move away but he knew that Mingi was always around...he just never knew where...
As he parked his car he walked over to the family home Chan stayed at. It was beautiful and decorated so nicely for the season which made it even more homey. As he stepped up onto the stairs glittered with dusty white snow, he made it to the door smiling at the faint sound of festive music. Ringing the doorbell he could faintly hear the sound of small footsteps and a playful yelling Chan before the door open.
" Momma momma!!" Wooyoungs son squealed jumping into his arms. Smiling Wooyoung held him safely in his arms smiling.
" don't you know your not supposed to open the door for people hmm?" Wooyoung scolded playfully tickling the boy. All he got was a small giggle in response that set his heart ablaze. Soon after his eyes trailed up to the man infront of him and damn...was he a view for Wooyoung.
For a moment he couldn't tell if it was the warm lighting of the house that made Chan seem so radient but regardless he didn't care...he looked too perfect with his slightly messy black hair...the black muscle shirt that really cling to his muscular frame...not to mention the cute top ramen pajama pants and teddy bear.
" are you gonna come in or continue checking me out ?" Chan said with a little smirk.
" whatever, I hope you two saved me some snacks" Wooyoung said walking in the house. Little did he know that there was another set of eyes on him.
Together they sat in the living room for a little talking and sharing their days with one another. There was so much laughter and genuine happiness in the atmosphere which made it even more comforting and kind of made Wooyoung miss their family being back together more. Time had went on faster then the realized and before they knew it, their son was already in dreamland.
" we should get going...feel like I've intruded so much...thank you for taking care of him I appreciate it..."Wooyoung smiled looking down at the sleeping boy in his lap.
" wooyoungie...it's late...I wouldn't dare let you go out at this time alone with our son so please...stay?" Chan said rubbing the boys fluffy cheek as he slept.
" are you sure ?"
" positive...how about this I'll put him in his room and we can talk a little more if you want...I know something is up with you..." Chan said while grabbing the sleeping boy in his arms and bringing him up the stairs to his room.
That's one thing Wooyoung was eternally great Fuck for when it came to being with Chan. He always knew when something was wrong and it made him happy that he still remembered the signs of his anxious behavior. When Chan returned he had folded up clothing in his hands and an extra pair of teddy bear slippers. He handed the folded clothing to Wooyoung before sitting back on the couch
"Wow...you really still have these...why Bin?" Wooyoung smiled playing with the fabric.
" go change and I'll tell you how about that then you can tell me what's going on in your head" Chan said rubbing Wooyoungs thigh before walking to the kitchen.
Smiling Wooyoung got up and made his way into the bathroom to change. Just as he expected...everything fit the way it was supposed to and really made his figure show more. For some reason it made his heart bubble seeing that there were still rémanence of Wooyoungs influence around Chans house. From the hand soap...to the decoration color scheme. It made him happier then he realized as he walked out of the bathroom into the hallway. As he walked back towards the living room he saw Chan sitting in the chair as the fireplace sparked lightly. It looked so romantic especially with the display of all Wooyoungs favorites
" Wooyoung-Ah come on you know I don't bite...unless you want me to of course" Chan smiled only to endure a laugh from Wooyoung
"Oh hush.." Wooyoung said hopping on the couch next to the other
" you still look good..really good" Chan smiled eyeing the blushing boy up and down
" my eyes are up here you know...but thank you ..."
Just like that the duo found themselves in a comfortable conversation. Wooyoung opened up his thoughts to Chan and of course Chan filled him with the most comforting words that he needed. The conversation had gone on for so long that they lost tract of the time.
2:45 am
"Damn look at the time..." Chan said coming back from the kitchen
"I mean it was all worth it...I'm having fun so..thank you" Wooyoungs said looking up at the male walking towards him.
" anything for you really...I enjoy talking to you...it calms me you know" Chan said with a smile siting back down next to the boy. Although they were quiet for a while the tension in the room was beginning to seep through the cracks. They found themselves a lot closer to eachother then expected.
'He's so beautiful ...I miss him' Chan said to himself as he rubbed the boys thigh that was on his lap.
" do it..."
" do what?"
" Chan...I can see it in your eyes...the way you look at me tells me so much..the desire, the longing...the need...so do what you want" Wooyoung said looking into his eyes. As Chan was about to blabber more reasons as to why he shouldn't embark on his urges, Wooyoung didn't care anymore and was quick to react on his urge.
The tension in the room was simple too overwhelming as their lips merged in a deep kiss. Everything they both felt and wanted to say was shared within this sweet exchange. Although Wooyoungs lungs burned at the lack of oxygen he couldn't let go. Just as quick as they started Wooyoung found himself sitting on Chans lap looking down at him.
" you sure..." Chan asked licking his already red lips. Smiling Wooyoung placed a tender kiss on his lips before moving to his neck where he lightly whispered yes. Just like that the atmosphere took a sharp turn. The room grew so much hotter and it wasn't because of the lit up fireplace. Wooyoungs slightly smaller hands were drowning in Chans locks as the warm hands rubbed his cold skin. Every kiss was like a bigger firework as more of the clothes they had on started to disappear. Light breathing from Wooyoung tickled Chans ear driving him crazier by the second.
" make love to me....
.....please...
