“Appa! Appa, wake up!” a voice says, waking Sehun up from his slumber.
Sehun slowly opens his eyes and sees a cute little kid pushing his arm to wake him up.
“He’s awake! Daddy! Appa is awake now!” the little kid shouted as he ran out of the room.
Appa? Daddy? Who is this kid?
Sehun got up from the bed, headed towards the room door, and slowly opened it. He was feeling very confused. The last thing he remembers was sleeping next to Junmyeon the night before, so where was he now?
“Sehunnie?” a familiar voice says, and when Sehun turns to look, it is none other than his boyfriend, Junmyeon.
Out of relief, Sehun instantly went towards him and engulfed him in a big embrace.
“Se-hun? What’s happening? Are you still not feeling well?”
“I feel better now that I saw you.”
Junmyeon chuckles. “You’re still as sweet as ever. Come on, Sejun has set the table already. I cooked some porridge for you. Come eat.”
Junmyeon grabs Sehun’s hand and pulls him towards the dining room.
When they arrived, Sehun saw the little kid sitting on the chair and smiling happily.
“Appa! Let’s eat!” the kid says, grinning at him.
“Alright, Sejun, hands up,” Junmyeon says to the kid before putting an apron on him.
“Thanks, Daddy!” the little kid said before kissing Junmyeon’s cheeks.
Sehun felt his heart welling. The little kid was so adorable; he just wished he remembered him.
“Sehun, is something wrong?” Junmyeon asks.
“Appa, something wrong?” Sejun echoes and looks at Sehun expectantly.
“It’s nothing,” Sehun says, smiling so as not to worry the kid, and starts eating instead.

The day went by so quickly that Sehun felt a little overwhelmed with everything that was happening. After eating, Sejun quickly went to the bathroom to shower and brush his teeth while Junmyeon attended to him. Within a few minutes, he was dressed for school, so Sehun was tasked to drop him off before heading to work.
Luckily, the school was marked on the car’s GPS, so there were no worries about doing that. After that, Sehun went back home, and when he did, Junmyeon asked him if he didn’t need to go to work. Since he was still baffled, he said he would rather stay at home with Junmyeon.
The two of them watched a few films, ate ice cream, and cuddled, and before he knew it, the day had gone by, and they were going to pick Sejun up from school. He got down from the car to follow Junmyeon and was mesmerized as he saw the little kid’s face light up the moment he saw Junmyeon.
“Daddy!!! Look! I got three stars!” Sejun says proudly, bragging about the star stamp marks on his hands.
“Wow, my baby is amazing!” Junmyeon replies and lifts Sejun up in his arms before peppering his cheeks with kisses.
When they walked towards him, Sehun felt his heart throbbing.
“Appa, can we go get ice cream? I got three stars….” Sejun says shyly.
“Of course! You did well. I’m proud of you.” Sehun replies before smiling because he realizes he meant every word.
They went to get some ice cream from the park nearby. They sat on the bench, watching Sejun make new friends with the other kids.
“Sejun is like a spitting image of you, Sehun. By the way, you seemed out of it all day. Do you want to tell me what’s wrong now?” Junmyeon asks as if waiting for Sehun to confess.
“Okay. This is going to sound crazy….but I don’t remember anything about Sejun or how we got a son…at all.”
Junmyeon’s eyebrows furrowed as he heard what Sehun said.
“What? Oh no, do I need to bring you to the hospital? Wait…do you even remember getting married to me?”
“Married? Wait, hospital? No, it will only worry you and the little kiddo. But I do feel this strange warmth whenever he smiles----” Sehun says before he is cut off because he sees a soccer ball heading towards Sejun’s face.
He ran faster than he ever did and tackled Sejun so that he would not get hit. In return, Sehun got hit in the face.
“Appa! Appa!” Sejun shouted, which were the last words Sehun heard before losing consciousness.

When Sehun opened his eyes, he saw Junmyeon’s worried face in front of him.
“Junmyeon?” Sehun mumbles.
“Sehun? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, but how is Sejun?”
“Sejun? Who is that?”
“You know—our---” Sehun starts but cuts himself off when he realizes he is back in their shared bedroom.
Was that a dream?
“Nothing. I love you, Junmyeon.” Sehun answers before he kisses Junmyeon lightly on the lips.
“Are you sure?”
Sehun looked at the clock and saw it was just fifteen minutes past midnight.
“Yeah. I think I just went down the rabbit hole and saw the cutest little bunny.” Sehun says before putting his arms over Junmyeon and closing his eyes once more
“What?” Junmyeon says, confused.
“Nothing, let’s just go sleep some more.”
Sehun smiles and hopes he can see the little kid in his dreams again.
