For three days the heat in his body Yechan did not subside.  Jaehan's anxiety at that time had reached their peak.  The young man's pale and haggard face adorned every space of his memory and made him uneasy to do his work.  Since Yechan settled in his room, he rarely set foot outside the room.

All his work was brought into the room and turned the room into his work room.  As for his son Yehan, as long as Yechan is in his room, his son will stay alternately in Hyuk's or his mother's room.  He didn't want his son to also be infected with the fever virus, because for him the immunity of a small child's body is not comparable to that of an adult's body and they are susceptible to all kinds of diseases.

"Han..."

Jaehan felt the hand swiftly hug his waist.  His warm face was so close to his body.  From the gaps in the clothes he was wearing, he could feel the hot temperature exhaled by the young man.

Because there was no desk in his room, he had to do all his work on the bed.  Now almost half of his bed was decorated with various papers which were information about the project that was delayed because the young man who was hugging him had a fever.

They had no choice but to wait for the young man to recover from his fever because only he knew all the data about the project.  His absence makes the company's progress stagnate.

"Do you need anything?"

Like a child, Yechan shook his head.  He put his head right on Jaehan's thigh and buried his face in his flat stomach.  Yechan, who saw that Jaehan didn't reject him, smiled slightly and closed his eyes again.  The headache he had been facing since morning greeted him again.

For three hours Jaehan was facing his laptop screen, during that time Yechan's head was on his thigh.  Because of not moving for a long period of time due to the burden he was carrying, his legs felt very numb.  As if someone would stab him several times, especially in the soles of his feet.

"Yechan...Yechan..."

"Hmmm..."

Because of the call, Yechan woke up from his sleep.  During the three days he was at the Kim family residence, his work was very simple.  Just wake up, eat and sleep.  Treated like a diamond princess.

"Wake up, my feet are numb."

"Erm.."

With the pain still in his head, he tried his best to get up from his position and went to his bed again.

"How your fever?Still hot?"

"It's reduced already. But my head feels like it's going to split into two items."

His hand touched the young man's forehead and as he said, the hot temperature that was nestling in his body was decreasing, unlike the previous day.

"Wait here, i take your medicine."

After saying that, Jaehan stepped out from his room and went towards the kitchen, where the room usually kept various medicines in the house.  He took the small container with a glass of water to his room.

"Wake up, eat this."

Jaehan who saw Yechan shake his head quickly, indicating that he didn't want to take the medicine, immediately forced the young man to open his mouth and then quickly stuffed the medicine into his open mouth.

"This."

Yechan, who was treated with medicine in that way, quickly took the drinking water handed out by Jaehan.  He greedily gulped down the water until it was almost gone.  Even so, the bitter taste that first entered his taste buds dominated his entire mouth.  Water alone cannot overcome the bitter taste.  He needs something sweet to wash away the bitterness.

"Like father like son. Take this."

Jaehan handed him some of Yehan's favorite candies.  Like his son, Yechan unashamedly opened the package from the candy shell and devoured it greedily.  He bit down until the candy crumbled and split all over his mouth.  In just a moment, the candy that Jaehan gave was all consumed by Yehan without leaving any leftover.

"Hehe.."

"After this, take a shower. I will send you back home."

It's been a long time since Yechan occupied that house.  His mama calls him every day to ask how he is doing.  Not wanting to worry about his mama's feelings anymore, he decided to send him back home.

"Can i stay at here again?"

"Can't. You already stay three days at my home. You are strangers, not my husband or my family."

Hearing that, Yechan quickly got up and straightened his body, sitting properly while looking directly into Jaehan's eyes.

"If like that, let's get marry. I can be your husband, then we are not strangers again."

"Keep your mouth shut. Do you think, i want marry you. In your dream. Go shower now!."

Yechan pouted his lips forward like a child scolded by his mother.

"Yes mummy"

"Yark!!!"

With his wide stride, Yechan quickly picked up the towel stuck on the wall and entered the bathroom.  But his steps were a little late when the square tissue container stopped on his head first before he had time to close the bathroom door.

"Auch, hurt Han.."

"You deserve that. I give you 15 minute to shower. If not, not only that tissue hit you, this thick book will also stick at your head."

Jaehan grinned as he held up a thick book in his hand.

"Okay, okay."

Yechan quickly closed the door and took a shower.  In less than 10 minutes, the door opened again and a tall, white young man emerged.

"Come, eat first. After this, i want you meet Hyuk and say thank you to him because let you lend his cloth."

"Hmm.."

Yechan looked at the dish on his plate with a sour face.  There are some vegetables that he not liked in the plate.

"I want you finish all that dish. Don't
leave any leftover food in the plate."

"But..."

"No but. You want to be healthy again, right? Eat that vegetable."

"Hmm"

With great effort, Yechan finished all the food on his plate.  He chewed it slowly, so that the bitter taste of the vegetable he didn't like didn't continue to enter his taste buds.

Jaehan who saw it all just smiled.  This situation is exactly the same when he told his son to eat food that he did not like.  The facial reactions they show are also similar.

"Good boy"

He stroked Yechan's head a little before walking into the kitchen with an empty plate.  Not long after, he returned with the car keys in his hand.

"Let's go."

"Han, my head still hurt. Can't i stay at here one more day?"

"Can't."

Unwillingly, Yechan left the room he had occupied for three days with a sour face.

"That's Hyuk. Go."

Yechan approached Hyuk who was in the living room and talked to him for a while.  Meanwhile, Jaehan called his son in the backyard.

"Yehan baby. I want to send uncle Yechan to his home. Do you wanna join me?"

"Send daddy back home? Yeah, i want."

Since that day, Yehan has never called Yechan as uncle and called him daddy.  Despite being corrected many times by Jaehan, Yehan still stood his ground.  And ended with Jaehan leaving him alone.  After all, it is true that Yechan is Yehan's daddy.

"Hey, what happen to Yechan?"

Hani ask her son.  She coincidentally ran into Yechan and Hyuk who were talking together.  From his face, he looked very gloomy.  As if there something he wasn't satisfied with.

"What happen?"

"He look so sour."

"Oh he just sulk. Let him be like that."

"Why he sulk?"

"He want to stay at here more but i forbid it. Mama already called me many times. She worried that his son not uncomfortable at here. She knows that Yechan will change to spoiler kid when he sick. She didn't want to make it difficult for me to take care of her son."

"Oh.. When you arrived at their house, send my regards to them."

"Okay, i go first. Let's go Yehan."

"Be careful."

"Hmm.."

Hand in hand, they both got into Jaehan's car, followed by Yechan who was still sulking.

"I will let my man to send your car today."

"Hmm..."
