Chapter 16

    Chapter 16

    To have a calm conversation, Seo-jun headed to his dads arms first.

    Brown Black, who had barely calmed down, collapsed on the floor with an exhausted expression. They were so tense that they almost lost their minds.

    Youve only been here for less than 10 minutes. How are you going to handle 48 hours like this?

    Seo-eun-chan laughed. Brown Blacks faces turned pale.

    Its been 10 minutes already? 48 hours is 2,880 minutes

    Park Seo-jins hand trembled as he did the math in his head.

    Its okay. Youll get used to it soon if you struggle a little at first.

    The four of them felt a slight comfort from Seo-eun-hyes words.

    Seo-eun-hye took out a stack of A4 papers and put them on the table. Brown Black, Seo-eun-chan, and Kim Hwa-ryeon looked at the pile of papers.

    Seo-jun knew. These papers were books that his mom and dad had worked hard on last night.

    They were customized parenting books for Brown Black, who would take care of Seo-jun, and for Seo-juns comfortable and safe 48 hours without his mom and dad. They even wrote down Seo-juns preferences in detail.

    What is this?

    Its what you need when you take care of Seo-jun. For now.

    Seo-eun-hye answered Seo-eun-chans question and opened the book. The first page.

    I divided Seo-juns eating time, nap time, play time, sleeping time, etc. into 24 hours.

    Brown Black listened to the explanation as they looked at the first page. The babys daily schedule filled the A4 paper.

    Wow, he eats every three hours. He also naps twice a day.

    Especially for meal time, Seo-jun knows it very accurately, so you have to feed him on time before he cries. Not even a minute late.

    Before he cries

    Brown Black swallowed their dry saliva.

    And behind that, there are methods for making formula and baby food, recipes for baby food, and how to warm up cold baby food. And the amount of snacks Seo-jun can eat

    They wrote it down so thoroughly that it was scary. Seo-eun-chan looked at his sister with a bored eye.

    She wasnt this meticulous before she got married, was she? Is this the power of a mother?

    The pages fluttered.

    Seo-juns favorite toys and dolls

    Seo-eun-hye paused for a moment and then opened her mouth again.

    You dont need them, right?

    She couldnt show them Kim Hee-sungs monster doll. How could she show them a doll with two heads and fierce teeth?

    She had already hidden all of Seo-juns dolls in the back seat of the car. Except for one bear doll.

    Yes. We also brought toys and dolls!

    Hwang Ye-jun raised his hand and said. Most of the luggage was toys and dolls and things for Seo-jun. Seo-eun-hye smiled brightly.

    Thats good. I hope this opportunity will make Seo-jun

    I wish he would like normal dolls

    Seo-eun-hyes voice got smaller and smaller, and the last word was barely audible.

    Lee Min-joon, who was sitting next to her and listening to her voice, nodded as if he agreed, and Seo-jun, who had his dolls taken away, pouted his lips.

    He felt like he had to give up Uncle Hee-sungs doll for the next two days.

    Im glad I still have the doppelganger bear doll!

    Unlike other normal dolls, Uncle Hee-sungs monster doll had something that satisfied Seo-juns soul. Thats why he felt like he couldnt do without it.

    I wrote down the order of bathing.

    Bathing? We have to do that too?

    Seo Eun-hye and Seo Eun-chan nodded at Choi Si-yoons bewildered question.

    Of course.

    Of course.

    Seo Eun-hye continued to explain. As she did, Brown Blacks faces grew worse.

    They had prepared themselves, but there were a lot of things to be careful of and to do.

    They finally realized it. For 48 hours, everything about this tiny baby depended on them.

    They had never raised a pet before, and now they had to take care of a baby who couldnt speak. They felt like fainting just thinking about it.

    Thats about it. How do you feel? Do you think you can do it?

    Ill try my best.

    They couldnt say they would do well, feeling guilty.

    Well, then. Its time to feed Seo-jun. Who wants to try?

    Brown Black turned to stone at Lee Min-joons words. Seo-jun, who had an alarm clock in his stomach, was ready. He would cry if even a second passed!

    You have to feed him before he cries. You havent even made the formula yet, right?

    Me! Me! Ill make the formula!

    They had never been apart for so long as a family. They couldnt move their feet from the front of the door.

    Lee Min-joon, who guessed his wifes feelings, hugged Seo Eun-hyes shoulders as she stared at the closed door.

    When will we have a chance to rest like this? How about we go on a trip this time?

    We cant go far.

    I know. Then where should we start?

    Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon smiled at each other on their long-awaited date.

    ***

    Wow. He finished it all.

    He really eats well.

    Brown Black, who had been staring blankly at Seo-jun eating, came to his senses when the bottle of formula ran out.

    Hwang Ye-joon turned around with a bright smile.

    What should we do next? Huh? Wha?!

    The two people he thought would be there were nowhere to be seen.

    At Hwang Ye-joons surprised voice, the eyes of the three people who were watching Seo-jun also turned to the back.

    Huh gone

    The quiet and calm atmosphere flew away in an instant. Brown Blacks eyes twitched with anxiety and panic.

    Park Seo-jins eyes quickly turned to Seo Eun-chan, who was holding the camera. He was too shocked to speak and just opened and closed his mouth.

    The eyes of the three people who didnt know what to do also followed Park Seo-jin and turned to Seo Eun-chan.

    Seo Eun-chan, who had a mischievous smile on his face, mouthed.

    Brown Black and Joons 48 hours! It starts now!

    Whaaat?!

    Seo-jun leaned his back on Kevins stomach, as if he was sitting on a comfortable chair. He stretched out his sore legs and grabbed Kevins arms, which served as armrests, with both of his hands. He was in the most relaxing position ever.

    Hes a human chair. A human chair.

    Choi Si-yoons remark made the others laugh.

    Seo Jun leaned his back against Kevins stomach and gripped the armrests with his skinny arms as if he were sitting in a recliner. He stretched out his chubby legs, and it was the most comfortable position in the world.

    "A human chair, a human chair."

    The others burst out laughing at Chois comment.

    Seo Jun liked the fluffy cushions and the comfort of Kevins chair. Excitedly, he grabbed Kevins arms, which had become armrests, and wiggled his bum.

    Eight months now. Seo-jun was old enough to hold onto something and pull himself up.

    "Come on, feed him."

    Seo Eun-hye looked at the time and opened her mouth to feed Seo-jun before he cried.

    Lee Min-joon laid Seo-jun back down on the cushion. He moved Kevins arms this way and that, finally getting him into a natural position.

    "Heres your bottle."

    Hwang Ye-sung, who had been eagerly shaking the bottle, handed it to Kevin.

    With a slightly trembling hand, Kevin took the bottle and slowly put the nipple into Seo Juns mouth.

    "Amum!"

    Zzzzzz-!

    All eyes of Brownblack gathered on Seo Joon. Seo Eun-chan and Kim Hwa-ryeon slowly moved the camera to capture the faces of the four.

    The expressions of the four people, who were tense with anxiety and panic, slowly relaxed.

    A small baby was holding a bottle with his eyes tightly closed as if he was happy. Braunblack slowly sat down in front of Kevin, who was holding Seo-jun.

    The tiny baby was eagerly sucking on the nipple and eating, a very unfamiliar feeling they had never experienced before. They seemed to be touched somehow.

    Braunblack was mesmerised, unable to take his eyes off Seo Jun for a moment.

    The awkward posture and the uneasy atmosphere changed to a natural and comfortable one.

    Brownblack was staring blankly at Seojun eating, when he snapped out of it as the bottle ran out of milk.

    Hwang Yejun turned around with a bright smile.

    What should we do next? Huh? Wha?!

    The two people he expected to see there were nowhere to be found.

    At Hwang Yejuns surprised voice, the three people who were watching Seojun also looked behind.

    Uh gone

    The quiet and calm atmosphere vanished in an instant. Brownblacks eyes widened with anxiety and panic.

    Park Seojins eyes quickly darted to Seo Eunchan, who was holding a camera. He was too shocked to speak and just opened and closed his mouth.

    The three people who didnt know what to do also followed Park Seojins gaze to Seo Eunchan.

    Seo Eunchan grinned mischievously and mouthed the words.

    Brownblack and Juns 48 hours! It starts now!

    Whaaat?!
