The Sub-Gong Is Being Rejected Today As Well - Side Story 25
Se-hyeon lay down next to Seo-jun and patted the baby’s chest. Just as he was falling asleep, his little lips were pursed, and he couldn’t be more cute. Se-hyeon smiled quietly.
When Seo-jun, who was trying to fall asleep, opened his eyes with a cooing sound, Se-hyeon quickly closed his eyes. His hand is still patting Seo-jun, but his face is acting as if he is asleep.
Even with Se-hyeon’s eyes closed, he felt Seo-jun looking at him. He looked at Se-hyeon’s face so curiously that he couldn’t see anything clearly yet.
Se-hyeon looked at it with slightly narrowed eyes and then saw that Seo-jun was closing his eyes, and then opened his eyes again.
When Seo-jun opened his eyes again, Se-hyeon closed his eyes.
After repeating this a few times, Seo-jun no longer opened his eyes. Se-hyeon, who was finally able to open his eyes comfortably, looked at his son with new eyes.
It was approaching 100 days since Seo-jun was born.
As for what happened in the meantime…
‘He just looked like a junkie.’
In the case of the male Omega, the birth was carried out by caesarean section. Accordingly, Se-hyeon, who was under anaesthesia, did not know how he gave birth to the child. When he opened his eyes, there was a honey rice cake next to him.
It was so amazing to actually see the child that was in my stomach. Even though I kept looking at the small, shrivelled baby, something didn’t seem real.
Shin Tae-oh had nothing to say after seeing Kkultteok. When most of the child’s body was in one of his palms, he was so cautious that he couldn’t even touch it. It’s so small. Maybe that’s why I felt like I needed to take better care of the baby, and I became overly cautious when it came to Seo-jun.
Needless to say, the joy of the adults in both families is great. Shin Ki-han, who could not come because he was overseas, called Shin Tae-oh often, and Jeong Mi-jeong wanted to babysit the baby even though she was busy.
He said that Se-hyeon’s parents, who must have had a very difficult journey up to Seoul, seemed to melt away their fatigue just by looking at Seo-jun.
The days with Seo-jun, who was born with everyone’s love, were a new beginning for Se-hyeon.
It was so amazing that Seo-jun had now become indispensable in his life. I can’t believe I went from living alone to having parents, a spouse, and even children.
I can’t believe it, but I also like that this is my life. Several thoughts came to mind. So Se-hyeon decided to live happily in the family that was created for him.
Not knowing the reality of parenting that comes with a baby being born.
He was fine when he was in the hospital. It was okay when my parents came to visit me after a long day. It wasn’t so bad because a manager came to look after the baby during the day.
Since when did that become a problem?…
I thought I was okay, but the moment I realized that my physical strength was gradually decreasing, the reality of Shin Tae-oh and Se-hyeon began.
First of all, the biggest challenge was sleep.
I had no idea that a baby waking up every three hours would make people so tired. Since I worked overtime like eating, I thought I could handle just not sleeping…
The company has weekends. Even if I worked on the weekend, the burden could not be compared. Parenting was completely different. There are no weekdays or weekends, and you never know when it will end. It is said that after 100 days, the duration of deep sleep becomes longer, but this is not necessarily true.
Next was crying.
I don’t know why I’m crying. When you don’t stop crying even if you check everything, whether it’s because of lack of sleep, hunger, or diapers. I felt like my strength was being gradually weakened by the crying.
As I lived a life where I didn’t feel like I was eating or sleeping, funny enough, I fell in love with Shin Tae-oh even more deeply.
‘It was really lovely.’
Not Seo-jun, but Tae-oh.
When Seo-jun wakes up in the middle of the night, he tells Se-hyeon to sleep and quickly carries him out, but he couldn’t be that pretty. On the other hand, Shin Tae-oh was moved when Se-hyeon poured coffee into his tired-looking mouth.
‘It was difficult to live like a human for a while.’
Even if someone takes care of the baby, there is still work for the parents to do, so Se-hyeon’s life has really changed 180 degrees from before.
Se-hyeon glanced at Seo-jun’s sleeping face.
The ‘100-day miracle’ has not yet occurred because it is not yet 100 days, but it is still much better than the first time. Now, he can express his sleepiness by whining and falls asleep when I pat him.
‘How come they look so similar?’
Long eyes for a baby, a nose that is already upright, and a plump lower lip…
How surprised I was to see Seo-jun’s face with its wrinkles smoothed out.
Whenever Se-hyeon took Seo-jun outside, people would look at them one after another and say this.
‘The kid looks like his dad.’
Then, when Shin Tae-oh comes home from work and picks up Seo-jun, people look at the two in turn and talk.
‘The kid looks like his dad.’
When he was with Se-hyeon, he looked exactly like Se-hyeon, and when he was with Shin Tae-oh, he looked exactly like Shin Tae-oh.
The question of which honey rice cake would come out between the honey rice cake that resembles Se-hyeon and the honey rice cake that resembles Shin Tae-oh was resolved at once. The honey rice cake, which resembled half of both sides, was already clearly showing its handsomeness.
‘Cute.’
In my eyes, he’s still such a cute son.
Se-hyeon suddenly saw the focus book on Seo-jun’s bedside table and sighed heavily without realizing it. A focus book created by Shin Tae-oh himself. Just by looking at him like that, you don’t know how kind an alpha dad he is.
However, the word ‘world’ stuck in front was stuck.
“What do you think of our son’s name?
In the sense that it is the only one in the world.”
Without deciding whose last name to take, Se-hyeon immediately looked at the name mentioned by Shin Tae-oh. It was a name that seemed very strange if it was based on Shin Tae-oh’s last name. Even if you take my last name, it’s the same.
However, Shin Tae-oh could not let go of his regrets and made a focus book and showed it to him, but Se-hyeon pushed him away, telling him not to even dream about it. Shin Tae-oh stepped back with a look of regret. Se-hyeon, who could not bear to throw away the focus book he had made himself, took it with him and wrote it.
I knew he wasn’t an ordinary human to begin with, but to think he would name his son on such a large scale. He was a person who could not let down his guard even for a moment.
Now that Seo-jun seemed to be completely asleep, it was time to lower the brightness of the mood light with the intention of Se-hyeon waking up soon.
Se-hyeon was startled by the sound of the door opening and looked up.
Shin Tae-oh, who was coming in cautiously, made eye contact with Se-hyeon and pointed to Seo-jun with his hand. And then he continues to open his mouth. Probably Seo-jun.
The question would be if he is sleeping.
‘Why did you come in if you knew?’
Se-hyeon waved his hand. Seo-jun was taking a nap right now, and there was no need for excuses like that it would be better to hear the noises of everyday life during the nap. I want to destroy everything that makes a sound right now because I’m afraid Seo-jun will wake up, but…
After sending Shin Tae-oh out, Se-hyeon, who was about to leave, looked at Seo-jun without thinking and was shocked as if his heart stopped.
Seo-jun and I made eye contact.
“Wow… heart.”
Se-hyeon, who was trying to stay quiet, placed his hand on huz heart and muttered as if there was nothing she could do this time.
If the child had even moved, I would have thought he had woken up. The sight of the baby opening his eyes without any sign was exactly like the scene from the climax of a horror movie.
As Se-hyeon placed his hand on his heart and took a deep breath, Shin Tae-oh suddenly came up next to him and rubbed Se-hyeon’s back.
“I know what it is.”
Shin Tae-oh, who had probably experienced the same thing, helped Se-hyeon calm down his shocked thoughts. In the meantime, Shin Tae-oh and Se-hyeon were barely able to get out as Seo-jun fell asleep again.
As the door closed quietly, Se-hyeon and Shin Tae-oh fell to the ground as if they had collapsed.
“And.”
What is this?
Two adults were being swept around by a baby who they thought was small and fragile and needed to be protected. I thought it was exaggerating to do this, but I really had no strength in my body.
Shin Tae-oh put his arm under Se-hyeon’s head and reached out to hand over the toy he had roughly picked up.
It didn’t matter to the two of them even if they were on bare floors. Rather, I felt good because my back was cold and it felt like all the sweat I had shed earlier had cooled off.
“Will the 100-day miracle really come?”
“They say it doesn’t just happen on the 100th day.”
“Then how do you know whether a miracle will come or not?”
“Se-hyeon….”
Shin Tae-oh held Se-hyeon tightly in his arms and whispered in his ear.
“It’s my first time raising a child.”
