Chenle, with Jaemin's help, wears a black suit and a small red bow tie. Jaemin smiles in satisfaction at how cute and handsome Chenle is. The 5 year old boy glance at his uncle with his gummy smile.

"Uncle, do I look handsome like daddy?" Chenle asked Jaemin innocently. Jaemin chuckled before peck the boy's cheek.

"Of course but promise, you have to take care of your papa and be a big good brother for your little brother, okay?" Jaemin holds out his pinky finger towards Chenle who happily does the same.

"Papa, when will daddy come here?" Chenle asked his papa as they sat together in the living room, watching some cartoon animation.

Chenle's papa was tensed at the mention of Chenle's other father. He had separated from his ex-husband almost five months because of an unending dispute between them. Chenle was hurt when his parents choose to separate.

He even cried nonstop just to make sure his parents forget about their argument and be a happy family again. But his daddy is too stubborn to let go of the matter. They decided to take a turn taking care of Chenle .

Chenle's daddy will take care of Chenle for three days and the rest will be Chenle's papa's turn.

Today is the day when Chenle's daddy turns to bring him to his house. Chenle's papa just stroked his son's fluffy hair.

"He will be here soon. Just wait okay? And remember what papa told you every time you stay with daddy?"

" Eum ... Do not disturb daddy if he is too busy with his work and always obey what daddy said" Chenle answer. He stares at his papa.

Seeing his papa looking at him with a fond look, he was happy but he still wants both of his parents to be together. He was used to seeing his parents acting like lovesick teenagers but now every time they met, they look at each other with broken expressions.

He heard some of his parent's friends suggesting his parents find a new partner but they didn't even look like they want to. During staying with his daddy, he saw many girls and boys starting at his daddy. The same happen when he was with his papa.

His papa is the most beautiful man he has ever seen in this world. Sometimes his papa can be cute and acted like a baby which is one of the reasons why his daddy falls in low with papa.

His daddy was too handsome and hot at the same time that it made every girl and gays swooning over him. Papa is not like others. He hates daddy's gut on their first meet. It was Chenle's daddy who trying to winning Chenle's papa's heart.

After knowing each other and fall in love, they got married almost immediately after Chenle's papa graduate from college.

But not everything seems perfect. After 5 years of marrying each other, with Chenle's daddy getting busier than before, Papa was disappointed when daddy forget about their wedding anniversary.

"SO I SEE YOUR WORKS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN ME?! OH WOW, WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND YOU ARE NOT EVEN REMEMBER OUR ANNIVERSARY" Chenle's papa yelled at Chenle's daddy.

"WHAT THE FUCK , HAECHAN ! I JUST GET HOME AND NOW YOU YELLED AT ME?! DON'T YOU KNOW I'M SO TIRED AFTER WORKING AND NOW YOU TRYING TO ANNOYED ME??"

"OH YEAH, MARK... DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS TIRED? I'M TIRED TOO! DO YOU THINK IT IS SO EASY TO TAKE CARE OF CHENLE WHILE DOING HOUSEWORK?"

The never-ending argument between them scared Chenle . After a month of fighting, they choose to divorce and live separately. Chenle wants to be like his other friends who have both of their parents in the same house and live happily.

"Lele, daddy is here~" Mark's voice from the front door caught their attention. Haechan sighed before leaving Chenle's room to take his bag. Mark pretend not to see his ex-husband left the living room. He walks to Chenle and pampers the boy with kisses. Chenle's cute giggle filling the apartment.

"Do not forget to feed him on time. He will get a stomach ache if you forget about him while to focus on your work" Haechan spoke as he handed the bag to Mark. Mark rolled his eyes before carrying Chenle into his arms.

"I know. Stop ordering me" Haechan ignored Mark as he smiles at Chenle who nervously looking at his parents. He kissed the boy's forehead under Mark's stare.

'I also want to be kissed' Mark thought but he remains silent. He can't voice out his thought after all the pain he gave to Haechan.

"Papa loves you, baby. We can video call later okay? Bye~" Haechan waved at Chenle as Mark carried the boy out of the apartment.

Haechan stares at their figure until they were gone from his sight. A single tear running down his cheek. He wipes it with his thumb and smiles bitterly.

"Papa also want us to be a happy family again"

"Papa! Papa!" Haechan smile once hearing Chenle's loud voice as they video call using Mark's handphone. The boy runs toward his daddy and takes the phone from his daddy to face his papa.

"Hello baby, have you eaten dinner?" Haechan asked Chenle who smiling brightly at his papa. The boy nodded to his question.

While the two talking to each other, Mark let Chenle sit on his lap while watching them interact. He saw how close Haechan's face was to the camera and still feel his heart beating so fast just like the first time he fall in love with Haechan.

Even though they now live separately, his feeling toward Haechan is still the same or the be exact, it's getting stronger as the day passed. Hearing Chenle and Haechan's laugh surely made him happy.

He missed their family. He wants to turn back the time and fix every misunderstanding he had with Haechan. After ten minutes of video calling, Chenle finally feels sleepy and asks Mark to put him on the bed.

After Mark puts Chenle on the bed and covers his small body with the thick quilt, Chenle looks at the phone and smiles sleepily at Haechan.

"Good night papa... Good night daddy~"

Both the parents smile lovingly at their son. Mark eyed Haechan who still hasn't gone to sleep but already yawning numerous times, he decides to let him sleep.

"Go to sleep, you still can video call Lele tomorrow morning," Mark said in an unusual gentle voice. Haechan nodded his head while getting himself in a comfortable position but still didn't disconnect the call. Mark watches him without any words.

Seeing Haechan finally fall asleep, he smiles and moves his handphone closer to his face. He stares at his ex-husband's face who has gone to dreamland with their son.

"Good night love~" he kissed the screen before ending the call and fell asleep next to Chenle .

Three days passed and it's time for Mark to send his son to Haechan's apartment. On their way, Chenle suddenly wants to eat ice cream. Mark parked his car on the roadside near an ice cream parlor.

"You wait here while daddy goes and buy your favorite ice cream, okay? Here, you can call your papa while waiting" Mark kissed Chenle's head before handing his handphone to his son. Chenle skillfully called Haechan who is currently waiting for them at his apartment.

Mark order a chocolate ice cream cone for his son. He looks around before glancing at his car and saw Chenle happy face as he talks with his papa on the phone. Chenle looks so bright just like Haechan.

'Maybe today I can try to slowly court Haechan like before' Mark thought as he paid for the ice cream and start walking toward his car.

Mark's pace halt when his car was hit by a big truck. The truck driver lost control of its steering wheel as it continuously bumps into some car. The last car the truck hit was Mark's. 

Mark saw his car almost destroy but that was not important, the important thing is his son, CHENLE is still inside the car. Throwing the ice cream away, he runs to his car and pries open the door on Chenle's side.

With all his strength he did open the car door and saw his son state. Blood was flowing from his forehead and a thick metal was pierce to his arm. Mark was panic and saw his phone screen crack. He glances around and keeps saying to people around to call an ambulance.

A kind citizen quickly calls an ambulance as Mark trying not to hurt his son.

"Baby, Lele, come on wake up. Daddy is here. Open your eyes baby..." Mark pleaded.

Haechan runs as fast as he can toward the ER room. As soon as he reaches there, he saw Mark was crouching on the floor while fisting his hair. Seeing this, Haechan quickly walks toward Mark and hugs him.

Smelling a familiar scent, Mark finally broke into a cry. He buried his head on Haechan's shoulder while hugging the other's waist.

"I'm sorry... It was my fault... If I didn't leave him alone there, this wouldn't happen to our son" Mark cried. Haechan also cried but he swallows all the curse words he wants to say at Mark when he was called by the hospital about the accident.

"I– It's okay... It already happened... We cannot keep blaming ourselves like this. Let's pray for our baby fast recovery" Haechan sobbingly uttered as he hugs Mark's torso tighter.

As the two comforted each other, the emergency room door finally opened from the inside by a doctor with surgery clothes. There is some bloodstain on his clothes but he seems not to care for it.

He approaches Mark and Haechan. The two quickly asked the doctor about the surgery process.

"Thanks to God, your son made it through. The surgery success but almost lost so much blood because of it. We need one of you to donate some blood for him"

Mark and Haechan were glad to know their son is survived after the surgery. When the doctor mention donating blood, Haechan immediately volunteering himself.

Mark waited until his son was transferred to the VIP ward as he had asked the doctor before.

Haechan and Mark sat next to each other while staring sadly at their son. Chenle was still unconscious after the surgery is done. The doctor told them Chenle might wake up after 2 hours of resting so they will not worry much. Mark holds Haechan's small hand in his. Haechan feels emotional so he leans his head on Mark's shoulder for support.

Both of them are still sad about the fact that their son was hurt even when he is still a child.

"Mark hyung... I don't feel like I'm a good papa for Lele" Haechan whisper as he turns his body facing the older and buried his face on Mark's chest. Mark patted Haechan's back comfortably.

"You are good papa... Lele will be fine... He will be fine, love" now it's Mark's turn to comfort Haechan as he keeps his eyes on their unconscious son.

After three hours passed, Chenle slowly opens his eyes. Bright light stings his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw his parents sitting on the couch not far from his bed. They were hugging each other while sleeping. Chenle feels happy seeing them like that. He was about to move his body but stop when he felt the pain all over his body. The most painful was his arm. His hands were wrapped in bandages.

He is still a baby which is the reason why he cried when he felt the pain. Mark and Haechan were startled by his sudden cry and hurriedly pulled away from the hug before comforting Chenle .

"Baby, baby, it's okay... The pain will be away... Shush, it's okay" Haechan caressing Chenle's hair with Mark sitting behind Haechan. The boy slowly stops crying but still sobbing as he stares at his parents.

"Papa and daddy didn't fight when Lele was sleeping, right?" Chenle quietly asked as he saw his daddy's arm was wrapped around his papa's waist. The two adults looked at each other before shaking their heads.

"No baby... We didn't... We are so worried about you... Now be good when the doctor comes, he will inject you with a painkiller to help you asleep" Mark said as he patted Chenle's uninjured legs.

After the accident, Haechan, and Mark getting closer and start acting like a couple. Chenle also getting healthier day by day as he witnessing his parents being lovey- dovey like they used to.

After staying at the hospital for more than three months, Chenle was finally discharged and able to go home. This time, they didn't go to Haechan's apartment, but to Mark's mansion where they live together before the divorce event.

Even though Chenle was already out of the hospital, he still needed to wear splints so that his hands would heal quickly. Haechan being responsible for taking care of helping Chenle taking a bath until the splints were taken off.

But on one peaceful day, loud gasps and happy laugh voices filling the whole living room. It was Mark and Chenle who made the noises. Haechan just sits in front of them with a big smile on his face.

What makes them reacted differently? Well, it's because Haechan just announces to this pair father and son about his pregnancy. Mark was shocked, no actually he was too shocked by this news. Haechan and he was still in the reconciled period but knowing he is getting another child just after he was in good term with Haechan, that's blowing up his mind.

Mark was happy of course but it was too soon. Nevertheless, he still accepts it with an open heart. Meanwhile, Chenle was squealing while hugging Haechan's stomach. He even put his head on Haechan's belly to hear any movement of the unborn baby.

This two kind of reaction is amusing to Haechan. Finally, this small family is complete with a little newcomer in their life.

While holding a small bouquet of roses, Chenle walks on the aisle with a big smile on his face. The guests were giving him applause and praise for his cute and handsome look. Mark smiles sweetly at his son.

After Chenle sat down at the front row seat, it was finally the time for the groom's appearance.

The hall door open again and an average height and slim body of a beautiful man walking toward Mark with a shy smile. With a slow step forward, he glances around and saw his friends in the second front row. They were smiling at him.

Even though this is Haechan's second time getting married to the same person, he still feels nervous and happy when he holds Mark's hands as they stand on the altar together.

"I promise to be your guiding light in the darkness, a warming comfort in the cold, and shoulder to lean on when life is too much to bear on your own. I promise to be the person who gives you strength when you are giving up and down" ~ Lee Haechan

"I'm madly in love with you, my husband. Not only do I promise that my love for you will grow with each day, but I promise to be your friend and partner every step of the way. I will be there for you, day or night, in richer or poorer, in sickness or in health. I trust, appreciate, cherish and respect you. I promise to share with you my hopes and dreams as we build our lives together. You, my love, are my everything" ~ Mark Lee

These beautiful vows from both grooms earning a loud cheer and applause from the guests. Chenle jumps happily as his parents kissed each other to seal their vows.

"I LOVE PAPA AND DADDY!!!" Chenle shouts before he runs toward his parents with a bright smile on his face.
