Letting out a loud earful shriek, Jeno pushes himself away from Jaemin's hold and instantly mumbles an apology when his fiancè grunts from the action whilst rubbing his chest.

Eyes wide and turning to look at the little boy holding his toy dinosaur, staring at them as he tilts his head, wondering what just happened.

"Sungie! Uh, wh-why are you and grandpa home so early?" Jeno stammers as he also looks at his father–who was behind Jisung and stifles a laugh behind his fist.

He could also hear Jaemin's small chuckle beside him, nudging him warningly and ignores the elder boy's muttered words.

Jisung blinks up at him, finally ending his stare towards Jaemin who scratched his nape awkwardly.

"Papa, why were you and Mr. Jaemin kissing?" He asks, staring at Jaemin again so intently that it was almost like he was protecting Jeno from the elder man.

Jeno, swallows hard when he saw Mr. Lee raising a brow at them. "You haven't told him, yet?" He asks with a disappointed and stern voice.

He slowly shook his head, glancing at Jaemin who pursed his lips. Mr. Lee sighs deeply and rubs the spot between his eyebrows, "Jeno." He calls out strictly.

"We'll tell him right now!" Jeno blurts out in panic, fidgeting with his fingers.

Jaemin notices and doesn't hesitate to grab one of his hands, holding it tightly and giving a small squeeze to hopefully calm down the younger boy.

Jeno slowly relaxes as his fiancè turns to smile at Mr. Lee reassuringly, "we planned on telling him today, father-in-law. We were just fixing some things between us." He said.

Humming, Mr. Lee glances at his son, "well I'm glad you two are okay now." He comments, catching up on what Jaemin had meant.

Nodding, Jeno gave a small smile, "yeah." He mumbles and gazes at Jaemin beside him, "I'm glad we're okay now too."

Knitting his eyebrows, Jisung began to whine. "Papa~ answer me." He stomps his foot weakly on the ground, toy dinosaur dangling on his side with a loose grip of his hand.

Chuckling, Jeno looks at Mr. Lee who gave him a nod, "I should be going now and leave you three be. Sorry we came home early and disturbed you, the fishing pond was currently closed today." He said.

Laughing a little, Jeno hums and gave him a small hug before Mr. Lee waves them goodbye, ruffling Jisung's hair lovingly and heads out.

Pursing his lips, Jeno opens his arms and beckons Jisung to come over, the little boy obviously did with no hesitation and giggles a little when his papa picks him up before peppering him with kisses on his face.

Giggling along, Jeno saw Jaemin's loving smile from the corner of his eye. Taking a deep breath, he looks at Jisung a little more seriously this time.

"Baby? Mr. Jaemin and I have something to tell you," he said as he brushes Jisung's bangs away from his face.

The little boy raises a brow and glances at Jaemin. "We will answer all of your questions too, okay?" Jeno spoke up again.

Convinced, Jisung nods at him in approval as Jaemin gestures for them to head towards the living room. Jeno carries Jisung along the way and smiles shyly when his fiancè pats the vacant spot beside him on the couch.

"Come here and sit beside me, sweetheart." Jaemin mouths at him quietly.

Nodding at him, Jeno sits down on the spot Jaemin has been gesturing for him to sit down in the past few seconds.

He adjusts Jisung's position on his lap with the little boy now sitting sideways and his beloved toy dinosaur against his chest.

"Sungie," Jeno calls out, earning a hum from the little boy and his attention on him.

He opens his mouth but closes it again, nervously glancing at Jaemin who worriedly places a hand on his lower back to rub the spot and calm him.

"What's wrong?"

Gulping audibly, Jeno bit his lip harshly. "I don't know where to start..." He mumbles.

The elder boy leans in to whisper in his ear as Jisung was getting distracted with his toy dinosaur now. "Just tell him, Sweetheart. You can do it, yeah? Jisung won't be mad at you."

"I've been keeping this from him, Jaem. I've been lying to my own son." Jeno croaks as he whispers back, getting anxious– more on towards himself.

Sighing, Jaemin leaves a small kiss against his ear. "And that's alright, we have our reasons, sweetheart. Jisung will understand sooner or later if not right now, you can always make it up to him."

Pausing, he caresses Jeno's lower back again and whispers, "we can always make it up to him," he adds.

Taking a deep breath, Jeno nods stiffly and pats Jisung's knee to get his attention again. The little boy turning towards him with a smile and drops his toy dinosaur on his lap.

"Sungie, what do...." Jeno tries to word it out as discreetly and slowly as he can for his little boy. "What do you think of the idea of Mr. Jaemin and I falling in love?"

He bit his lip anxiously, feeling like he could've worded it out much better as Jisung ponders in thought. "Does papa love Mr. Jaemin?" The little boy asks.

Widening his eyes, Jeno covers his shock with a really small nod and mumbles. "Just asking, baby."

To his surprise, Jisung shrugs a little. "If papa is happy, I think it would be great." He said and turns to Jaemin, pouting at him.

"But you can't hurt papa, Mr. Jaemin." He said with a huff.

Chuckling, Jaemin nods and reaches to pinch his cheek lightly. "I would be mad at myself too, Jisung, if I ever did that." He said.

"But papa, why are you asking?" Jisung asks, dumbfounded at the question Jeno had asked him.

Clearing his throat, Jeno gathers up the courage– thanks to Jaemin beside him and caressing his lower back, he starts to play with Jisung's hair as he spoke.

"Mr. Jaemin and I... Will get married soon."

Jisung lets out a gasp and widens his eyes, "does that mean Mr. Jaemin will be my daddy now?" He asks while changing his gaze from Jeno to Jaemin back and forth.

His breath hitched in his throat as he could sense Jaemin's instinct of wanting to lean in and whisper encouraging words to him again.

Exhaling, Jeno didn't notice his eyes were tearing up until Jisung frowns at him. "Why are you crying papa?" He asks.

And for the second time today, Jeno breaks down and pulls Jisung towards his chest, cradling his small body against him as he cries on top of the little boy's head.

"I'm so sorry, b-baby, papa h-has been l-lying to you." He hiccups and hugs Jisung tighter in his arms.

They could tell Jisung was still confused, especially about Jeno's words. So Jaemin decided to step in and stands up from the couch.

He kneels down to place a hand on Jisung's knee, gaining the little boy's eyes on him as he gave him a small smile. "I'm your biological father, Jisungie." He said.

Jeno reluctantly pulls himself away from Jisung's head, letting Jaemin take over the situation since he's back at it again to being emotional.

Jisung was still confused, but more on doubting Jaemin's honest words. So he turns to look up at Jeno who was wiping his tear-stained cheeks, before covering his face up to his under eyes.

"Papa?" Jisung's voice was small and his own eyes were tearing up as well.

It only took Jeno's small nod towards him as he mumbles another few strings of apologies before Jisung hops off his lap and jumps into Jaemin's arms.

The little boy began to cry against Jaemin's shoulder, the latter swallowing down his own sob and looks up at Jeno.

"Daddy." Was the first thing Jisung mumbles out before he hiccups again.

Jaemin couldn't take it anymore, especially from hearing Jisung's word aimed at him. Calling him as a parent and not a stranger.

He cries silently and hugs his son tighter, kissing his ear while Jeno slowly moves down to the floor to join them, Jaemin opening his arms for his fiancè to be engulfed in and cages the two boys tightly.

"I love you both." He whispers and kisses both of their heads lovingly.
