22 - Ah Love!

Jiah rolled her eyes dramatically as she, Vernon and Seungkwan were standing outside Vernon's car.

"What is Dr. Boo and Mr. Chwe?" Jiah mocked, "Bleh."

"What's wrong with that baby?" Seungkwan asked.

"Use names. You both have nice names." Jiah whined.

Vernon smiled faintly as he was leaning back against the car, stuffing his hands in his pocket.

"I don't mind, actually." he replied while looking at Seungkwan.

"What about you, Doctor?" he asked, watching the other's reaction while Jiah was still letting out groans and whines in the background.

"I'm fine too." Seungkwan grinned while looking away.

"So-" Vernon started as he looked from Jiah to Seungkwan again, "May I drive you back home, Seungkwan?"

"Yayy!!" Jiah exclaimed as both of them finally stopped addressing each other formally after the whole day of outing.

"Sure." Seungkwan nodded as he chuckled at the way Jiah was excited now that the both of them were not just called by their titles.

"You little menace." Vernon muttered. He smiled faintly before opening the car door next to him.

"Get in." he said to Seungkwan.

Seungkwan nodded as he got into the passenger's seat after which Vernon made Jiah comfortable in the backseat while he got into the driver's seat.

Vernon started the engine after making sure Jiah was fine in the backseat.

"So where should I drive you to, Seungkwan." Vernon asked as he glanced at the pediatrician, still not quite used to calling him by his actual name.

"I'll put on the adress on the gps." Seungkwan put on the location on the car's gps after which he turned his face to the backseat, "Jiah baby, did you have fun today?"

"Hmm!" Jiah nodded her head as she fiddled with the toy Vernon gave her earlier.

"I did, I had lots of fun!" she exclaimed, obviously still all hyper after the whole day.

Vernon kept his eyes on the road as he had a small smile on his face from hearing Jiah's cheerful response.

"And-" Seungkwan looked at Vernon, "How was it for you?"

Vernon let out a faint chuckle as he kept his gaze on the road in front of him.

"Interesting." he repeated, and briefly looked over at Seungkwan, "I didn't think my day would end up like this. Did you like my company?"

"Yeah, I liked your company." Seungkwan smiled, "You never made me feel like I was hanging out with a famous idol."

"Well to be fair..." Vernon thought about his next words for a moment.

"I didn't think of you as a fan the first time I met you." he admitted as he took a glance over at the pediatrician again and gave him a small smile.

"And I know you weren't thinking of me as Vernon from 'Serenity', you were just thinking of me as Mr. Chwe." he teased.

"Hey! I never said that." Seungkwan was flustered, "I said I just casually hear your songs and enjoy them. Sometimes I watch your other contents too, that's it."

"That's basically called being a fan." Jiah intervened.

"See? Even a child understands." Vernon let out a small chuckle and glanced at the rear view mirror to look at Jiah for a moment.

"You can't deny being a fan, Doctor." he teased Seungkwan, still keeping his gaze on the road.

"Okay whatever." Seungkwan mumbled while rolling his eyes playfully.

"I knew you would cave in." Vernon said with a smirk.

"You are a fan, just admit it." he teased the pediatrician, enjoying their little banter in the car.

"Yes, Kwanie Uncle, let's be their fan together." Jiah clapped her hands.

Vernon chuckled faintly while listening to Jiah and glanced over at Seungkwan again.

"Looks like it's too late to back out now." he raised a brow. "Jiah wants you to be a fan, Doctor."

Seungkwan laughed lightly, "Okay okay! Only for Jiah."

"There we go, was that so hard?" Vernon teased and chuckled once again, "Now both of you are officially fans of Serenity."

"You're really that whipped for Jiah, huh?" he commented jokingly.

Seungkwan nodded, "Of course, who doesn't love this little princess?"

"True." Vernon hummed in agreement, looking back at the view mirror for a moment to glance and smile at Jiah.

"She's too adorable." he said and let a small chuckle escape through his lips.

Seungkwan agreed, "She definitely is."

"You know," Vernon started and took a quick glance over at Seungkwan again while continuing to drive.

"You are too adorable as well, doctor." he said in a playful tone.

Seungkwan's cheeks heated up, "Oh- uh thanks!"

"Aww look at you all flustered again." Vernon teased after noticing the other's reaction.

"You really can't handle compliments, can you?" he said in an amused tone.

"NO!" Jiah giggled, "He acts like that in front of someone he likes."

Vernon glanced at Jiah in the rear view mirror for a moment and raised a brow.

"Oh?" he commented and looked over the pediatrician again, "Is that true, Doctor?" he questioned, his smirk growing once again.

"No that's not what she meant-" Seungkwan gasped, "She's just a kid, Vernon, don't mind."

"I am just asking you a question, Doctor." Vernon replied casually, but obviously he was enjoying watching the pediatrician get all flustered.

"You are getting redder, by the way." he teased, taking a brief glance down to look at the other's reddening ears.

"That's not it." Seungkwan looked away, "You're acting as if your own cheeks are not heating up."

"My ears at least aren't as red as yours, Doctor." Vernon chuckled faintly.

"I think you just can't handle compliments well." he teased, enjoying how the pediatrician was trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Oh yeah?" Seungkwan turned to him, "Don't act like you're that unfazed." He leaned closer to him to whisper and not let Jiah hear him, "As if I don't know that Jiah missing me was just an excuse for you to ask me out."

Vernon felt a warm shiver run through him as Seungkwan whispered in his ear and his cheek began to feel warmer.

He didn't expect the pediatrician to be so bold and he was almost taken aback for a moment. Almost.

"You sure about that, Doctor?" he muttered back, trying his best to not let his voice falter while keeping his gaze on the road.

"I definitely am." Seungkwan sat straight on his seat again with a victorious chuckle.

"Wow someone's suddenly got a lot of confidence." Vernon mused with a small scoff, shaking his head faintly as a small smile appeared on his face.

"You really think you can handle me, huh, Doctor?" he asked in a cocky tone.

"I can." Seungkwan turned to wink at him, sneaking the gesture from Jiah.

"We'll see about that, Doctor." Vernon said in an amused tone, trying to act unfazed again.

Seungcheol knocked at the door to declare he was entering as he stepped into the room.

He approached the bed to witness Jeonghan curled up while clutching the blankets as he was sleeping peacefuly.

He perched himself on the edge of the bed, watching Jeonghan sleep for a moment. The younger's face was peaceful, all traces of yesterday's turmoil faded in the calmness of sleep.

He gently reached out, carding a hand through Jeonghan's hair, his touch light yet affectionate.

Jeonghan's eyes fluttered open as he mumbled in a very low and muffled voice, Seungcheol-"

"Shh," Seungcheol murmured softly, his hand still running through Jeonghan's hair. "Go back to sleep, baby."

His voice was tender, a gentle hush as he continued the soothing motion of his hand, gently coaxing the younger back to sleep.

Jeonghan nodded in denial as he hummed in a sleepy voice. He reached out one of hishand to hold Seungcheol's shirt while his eyed remained half closed.

Seungcheol chuckled quietly, his hand still buried in Jeonghan's hair. His heart warmed seeing the younger's efforts to stay awake and hold onto him.

He gently grasped Jeonghan's hand that was clinging onto his shirt, intertwining their fingers with a soft but firm grip.

"You need your sleep," he whispered, his thumb gently caressing Jeonghan's knuckles. "Close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere."

"No uh-" Jeonghan whined, still sleepy, "Come closer."

Seungcheol couldn't help but chuckle again. The younger's sleepy whining was endearing, making it impossible to resist.

He shifted closer, slowly lying down next to Jeonghan but maintaining a respectful distance. "Is this enough?" he asked softly, his other hand still gently running through Jeonghan's hair.

Jeonghan snuggled into his embrace, "Why are you staying away?"

Seungcheol's heart softened even more at Jeonghan's words. He wrapped his arms around the younger, pulling him closer.

He pressed a soft kiss on Jeonghan's forehead as he adjusted their position, letting Jeonghan rest his head against his chest.

"I'm not," he replied, his voice a gentle whisper. "I'm right here, holding you."

"Hmm I'll make breakfast for us today." Jeonghan proposed, "Then we'll together go to pick Jiah from Vernon's place."

Seungcheol smiled, his arm still wrapped around Jeonghan, the older's hand resting gently on the younger's back.

"Sounds like a plan," he replied, his voice soft and affectionate. He pulled Jeonghan closer, pressing another soft kiss on the younger's forehead.

"Let me help you with the breakfast," he suggested, his fingers tracing small circles on Jeonghan's back. "Can't let you do everything by yourself."

"No! I'll cook." Jeonghan protested.

"Alright alright." Seungcheol agreed.

Both of them got up and got ready for the day. Jeonghan went into the kitchen for cooking while Seungcheol was still getting dressed.

Soon enough, he reached the kitchen as well, watching Jeonghan busy in preparing breakfast.

As Jeonghan worked, Seungcheol slowly approached, wrapping his arms around Jeonghan's waist from behind. He tucked his chin on the younger's shoulder, his body pressed against Jeonghan's back.

"Seungcheol-" Jeonghan rebuked playfully as he continued with the food.

Seungcheol chuckled, burying his face in the crook between Jeonghan's neck and shoulder.

"Can't help it," he murmured against Jeonghan's skin, the words muffled, "You just look too adorable in the kitchen."

Jeonghan's neck tilted instinctively at the feeling of the older's hot breath, "You just have to say that all the time."

"And I'll say it again and again because it's true."

Seungcheol's arms tightened around Jeonghan's waist, pulling him closer, their bodies flush against each other. He pressed a soft kiss on Jeonghan's neck, his lips lingering for a moment before he spoke again.

"You look adorable, in the kitchen, out of the kitchen, first thing in the morning when you're still half asleep, all the time," he whispered, each word punctuated with a kiss.

Jeonghan squirmed within the older's embrace as he grinned, "Hmm enough enough."

Seungcheol chuckled, his arms refusing to loosen their hold. He spun Jeonghan around and backed him up against the counter, trapping the younger between the hard surface and himself.

He looked down at Jeonghan, a teasing smile on his face. "But I haven't had enough yet," he murmured, his fingers lightly tracing the line of Jeonghan's jaw.

Jeonghan laughed lightly, "You're going crazy in the morning."

"I am," Seungcheol admitted with a smile.

He leaned down, his mouth trailing a path from Jeonghan's jaw to his neck, his lips brushing against the sensitive skin. One of his hands rested on Jeonghan's hip, his fingers tracing small circles over the younger's shirt.

"But only because I have you here," he whispered against Jeonghan's ear, his voice low and heated.

Jeonghan gently slapped the older's chest, "Shut up." He chuckled.

Seungcheol chuckled in response, the sound deep and warm.

He captured Jeonghan's hand, drawing it away from his chest and pressing a soft kiss on the younger's palm.

"Or what?" he challenged, a smile on his lips. He moved again, pressing his body against Jeonghan's, trapping the younger more firmly against the counter. His other hand came up, fingers lightly tracing the line of Jeonghan's collarbone.

"Or I'm going to make you shut up." Jeonghan mumbled.

"Is that so?" Seungcheol leaned closer, his mouth hovering just above Jeonghan's lips, his breath hot on the younger's skin.

"And how exactly are you going to do that?" he whispered, his voice low and husky.

Jeonghan picked up a cookie from behind and stuffed it into Seungcheol's mouth, "Like this."

Seungcheol's eyes widened in surprised, caught completely off guard.

He chewed on the cookie as Jeonghan expected him to, the sweet taste filling his mouth. Once he swallowed, he looked down at Jeonghan with a mixture of incredulity and amusement.

"Did you just stuff a cookie into my mouth to make me shut up?" he asked, an incredulous chuckle escaping his lips.

Jeonghan escaped his grip to focus back on organising the sandwhiches, "Yeah now let me cook."

Seungcheol watched Jeonghan for a moment, still amused, before stepping back. He leaned against the counter, crossing his arms as he continued watching Jeonghan's cooking.

"Alright, I'll behave," he said jokingly, raising his hands in mock surrender. "You continue cooking, I'm not going to interrupt anymore."

Both of them laughed together as the sound of their content giggles filled the place.
