Changbin himself couldn't really understand what happend with him. Lately he feels like being to sensitive and confuse a lot for lots unnecessary things. Those things that usually unfazed him now suddenly become so interesting, for instances like how his uncle and his auntie behave to each other. The way how he see loves around him, cause maybe he like someone and still not use with that feelings so he decide to research first from his surrounding.
"I want divorce right away!" Minho yelling at her husband is not something new
"Relax, i already prepared the paper!" Seungmin never want to back out as usual then he walk towards Changbin who is sitting in back bench. The uncle nephew duo gazing at each other as Seungmin finally reach the bench and sit beside him.
"What are you looking at us?" Seungmin asking since he knows his nephew has been watching his banter with his wife for awhile
"I'm still amazed with how you guys keeps fighting and still love each other" Seungmin mumbling in response
"Who says we love each other? The right one is we in the competition on who can kill each other first?" saying Seungmin in his distinct joking tone
Then Changbin laughing dryly like to teasing his uncle. "Last time uncle even gave auntie piggy ride only to car just because she lose one of her flipflop which turn out that Yongbok hides it on your car"
and now Seungmin laughing harder, he couldn't lie anymore just realising that his nephew is grown up, Changbin surely knows better.
"So what's up with looking at us thing? You have been staring for too long Binnie" Seungmin take the chance to pinch his fluffy nephew cheeks
"Just you two makes love seems so fun, you fight but stay long. My parents love so bland seems like a template. they have been like that for as long as i know"
"Ohh.. it's because you haven't heard about the infamous duo rapp better and dance better! Your parents fought all the times and it's so worst that everyone knows about it."
"They fight?" Changbin can't hide his shocked. He never ever see their parents fight. His family pretty much look like those a family who happily ever after.
Seungmin nodding his head as the answer
"Then what makes them like this?" Changbin so curious while watching his parents taking care of Yongbok and Chan with their toys. Both of his parents always in sync together, like a harmony they work well together. Now that he understands a little bit, Changbin wonder is his parents lovey dovey it's grant to be true. Is there something hidden in between?
"They always fought and then stops. No one really know." Seungmin shakes his head
"something indeed so fishy, they must be hiding something and they did it so well. Maybe it's related to your birth history. I mean have you see yourself? You look nothing like your appa" Minho coming out of nowhere then scaring Changbin with her words
"Binnie! Come here let's eat!" Hyunjin calling his son with her lovely tones
"Come here son!" And Jisung calling him as well
Changbin love his family so much and he didn't want imagine anything worse, at least not now. And if he can beg, he will beg forever to let his family keep being happy like what they have now
Then Grandma Jeongin coming approaching her oldest grandson, pulling both his hands, walking him to the table that already set with the view of two couples who still busy sets the tables. Changbin keeps looking at both his parents, he wonder how his mom so pretty meanwhile his father ..
"To this time i'm still wondering how my sons get their wives. I bet somethings wrong with their brains but i thank God every day for that. Otherwise you know how they will rot in my house"
.
.
.
Jisung and Hyunjin are ready for bed, but Hyunjin feeling uneasy so she look at her husband with worry eyes
"do you think something is off with Binnie or am I being overreacting as usual?"
"hmm, i guess so as well. He's like keep staring at us"
so the couple took a minute to think what just happend in whole day that might be upset their first born until Jisung phones ringing
"oh, Seungmin-ah" Jisung answering the phone and put the speaker on since his wife getting closer
"oh hyung, just incase.. i think uri Minho has ruining your son"
"wh-" before Jisung could ask, Minho cutting the phone right away
"heyy! you ruining him as well"
"but you ruin him worst"
the couple can't stop their banter even on the phone
"guys, i don't think the language is working" Hyunjin giving her thought
"the word 'ruin' kinda makes me work out" instead of correcting their choice of words, Minho takes her chance to make it in real inappropriate meaning with her seducing tone
"man, i'm so ready to ruin you darling" Seungmin repling without any consideration toward his brother and his inlaw
"they totally worst" Jisung mumbling
"APPAAAAA!" then everyone can hear Yongbok tiny voice screaming probably from her own room
"remind me again why i have kid?" said Seungmin out of frustation
"because you forgot your fucking protection!" Minho trying to shout in silence
and that's Jisung clue to just cut off the phone, his brother probably already running to look after his pretty niece
"okay, then let me check Binnie for awhile. You could sleep first baby" said Jisung then giving a softly kiss on his wife forehead and Hyunjin nodding her head
.
.
.
"hey champ, can't sleep?" Jisung asking when he find Changbin hasn't sleep on his bed as he open the door
"hmm" Changbin just humming
"okay, let me sleep in here as well" then Jisung reach his son bed and lay down beside him, picking the blanket and cover his son
"what happend?" now Jisung trying to asking with softer voice
"do you fight with mom so you sleep here?" Changbin asking instead of answering
Jisung takes a long breath, they have discussed this, their son will going thrught puberty and must be have lots of question, the rise of hormon, change of behaviors. Yeah, Jisung and Hyunjin quietly taking class for the situation like this. They prepared and prepared but reality always much different than theory
"have you see me fight with your mom? I mean, can't a dad sleep with his son?"
"well, you can sleep here but why you never fight with mom? or is it only you never makes me see when you two fight?"
the complicating question, reminds Jisung of his own teenage time
"what's actually happend? Did your uncle say something?"
"they said you and mom fought a lot but i never see you two fight, did you hide something?"
"well, we fought a lot but we love each other now" Jisung trying to answer calmly, he couldn't just explain the term 'spat of lovers' and 'sexual tension'. Jisung believes it's not the time yet althought he laugh remembering how it was back then
"then, why love it's so confusing? you two calm and said it's love then uncle and auntie keeps fight and it's also love"
oh! then it just hit Jisung, his son just trying to progress what is love
"love is hard to explain, you will know when you know. Everyone have their own definition, so I'm sure you will find yours as time goes by. But one thing for sure love about feeling, like how i love your mother, how i love you and how i love your brother"
Changbin looks at his father with innocent eyes, trying to understand more while Jisung looking at him fondly, still can't belive he's having this kind of conversation with his own son so he just copied what his father used to say to him back then
"could i ask one more question?" Changbin sounds so vulnerable and Jisung nodding as the answer
"am i really your son?" that question! Oh please remind him to kill his brother later. This is probably the meaning of 'ruin' as the nentioned before
"not trying to make you sad but, you literally me son. Look how short your grandpa and it's going down to me and now to you too"
"appa! I'll grow taller!" Changbin yelling outburst
"it's okay, we'll try look up for a growing pill later and for now we just need to sleep" then Jisung reach Changbin into his arm, hugging his son tightly
"this is a secret don't tell your uncle but he is actually adopted. I mean see the height difference and i don't where he got his face from?"
well for Changbin his father indeed much more handsome than his uncle
.

"babe.." Hyunjin calling her husband in whisper after she managed to opened the door without sound to her son's room
"ah!" Jisung totally forgot to get back to his room, "sorry, the discussion too long"
"what is it?"
"he just found out that we used to fought"
both of them keep whispering while looking at their sleeping son safe and sound
"well, we just pretending" said Hyunjin who chuchkles softly
"until we forgot that we prentending" adding Jisung after finally got out from the bed
then the two of them walk quietly towards the door, Jisung put his arm around his wifey waist, holding her closer
"dad, i think i love Innie noona" Changbin said in his sleep
Jisung smiling while Hyunjin face turn into cold ice in that second, she soon not the prettiest anymore for his son
