🍒 DADxHUSBAND SEUNGCHEOL'S BIRTHDAY MORNING 🍒
Seungcheol stretched his arm to your side of the bed only to be greeted by the empty, cold sheet. He slowly opened his eyes, vision still blurry from the sleep, looking around the room. Not like it's weird to not wake up next to you, but it's the weekend, so if you're not in bed with him, he assumed you would be in the kitchen with the kids, probably making breakfast — usually he will be invited along, but maybe today is an exception. Today is his birthday after all. Maybe they think that he deserves to sleep in today. So that's why it's weird. Not to add, it's too silent, unlike the other days.
He's not alarmed, but he's too curious to stay in bed. He rubbed his hair, walking outside the bedroom with his hazy eyes before he heard some whispers coming from the kitchen. Before he got to say or saw anything, his mouth and eyes were covered, and he was forcefully dragged away from the kitchen. Seungcheol didn't fight back because he could tell right away it was you, rushing him back to the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Seungcheol asked and you shushed him.
"Can you pretend to be asleep?" You whispered as you asked him. His eyebrows furrows. He was about to ask more, but before you could explain, or he even got to ask, you heard footsteps from outside.
You pushed Seungcheol straight to bed and lay him down on bed, before covering his body with the blanket. Seungcheol can stop you from whatever this is. Of course, he can. He was bigger and stronger than you, but he decided to just follow along with whatever this is. He is also still not fully awake to question everything. It's probably
"Just pretend to sleep and open your eyes only after I wake you up, okay?" You whispered again, and this time you waited until he hummed in agreement. You want to laugh when Seungcheol frowns at you as he closed his eyes, but you just give him a quick peck on his forehead before covering his face with the blanket.
"Mommy, are we clear?" Your four years old son, Minsu whispered as he saw you behind the door. He's standing still, carefully carrying a bento-sized birthday cake in his hands. Your three years old daughter, Minha standing right behind him, squealing out loud, despite being reminded again and again before by her brother not to make noise. Seems like Minsu didn't mind about it anymore since all they can think about is surprising their dad. Their eyes sparkle in joy and excitement, waiting for your cue.
"Okay. I will wake him up, and we will sing him happy birthday, okay?" You whispered to him.
"Okay!" Minha didn't even bother to whisper back. She's just already too excited.
The three of you start tiptoeing towards the bed. You told them to slowly climb up the bed beside him as you took the cake and balloon so they could climb it safely before giving it back to them. It's not in the original plan, but Seungcheol has already woken up anyway, so it's not like your plan now risking him "waking up".
They slowly positioned themselves, ready to surprise their dad while you set the camera on one of the drawers not far from your bed, as you want to video tap the moments. Minsu and Minha nod their heads vigorously in unison, signaling that they're ready. You instantly sat beside your kids and slowly reached out to nudge Seungcheol's shoulder, turning on your inner-actress mode. You give him another few taps on his arms before he finally stirs and lifts the blanket from his face.
"SURPRISED! HAPPPYY BIRRTHHDAAAYYY" both your kids and you yelled in unison. Seungcheol's eyes widened when he finally realised what was going on. He giggled and clapped his hands along while you and your kids sing him a Happy Birthday song in front of him. His heart melts from the view in front of him right now. Oh, if only his eyes could capture this very moment.
"Waaaaahh. Thank you!!" Seungcheol yelled in excitement and took the cake from Minsu's hands. He giggled as he scanned the cake.
A sloppy red "Happy Birthday" is written in the middle of the cake, with cherries and chocolate chips scattered around, on top of the cake. You saw Seungcheol's eyes glistened, and his mouth quivered from trying not to cry. Seungcheol slowly positioned Minsu and Minha on his laps, before pressing kisses on their cheeks and heads.
"Mommy said no candle because it's dangerous doing it here, but you still need to say your wish first", Minsu cocked his head, giving Seungcheol a determined stare.
" And secretly!" Minsu warned him before Seungcheol start saying anything. Seungcheol laughed. Of course his son knows he's going to say it out loud. Seungcheol nodded and closed his eyes, making wishes.
"Daddy, can we eat this cake now?" Minha's sudden question made both you and Seungcheol burst into laughter. Minsu, being an older brother he is, trying to shush Minha, but Seungcheol mouthed it's okay and pats his head. You took the cake from Seungcheol's hands, as the kids started to climb up on him, indulging him with kisses and hugs, making him fall back on bed. You left Seungcheol playing with your kids, and decided to store the cake in the fridge.
"Kids, I have yet to get birthday kisses from mommy" Seungcheol whined as he saw you walked into thw room, but went towards the camera instead of him. Minha let out a shosking gasp, looking at you, as if it's a huge problem. Seungcheol trying not to laugh at her reaction.
"Mommy, mommy! Come. Hurry!" Minsu rushed, while Minha waved her arms, signaling you to come. You lips quirked up at their reactions to Seungcheol's words.
"Okay, but as I said, both of you can only eat the cake after you done with your breakfast so if-"
"Oh right! I need to go eat my bweakfast, daddy" Minha looked at Seungcheol, slowly crawling away from her dad's arm as she said that. Minsu joining in saying "me too" before both of them ran out of the room.
Seungcheol reached out his hands, and you happily walk straight into his arms. He wrapped his arms around you before both of you nestled together comfortably.
"Happy birthday, honey" you pressed your lips first on his chin,
"I love you" another peck on his cheek.
"So much" another one on his other cheek.
"Thank you for everything" this time you give him a long peck on his forehead.
"I'm the one who should thank you, love" Seungcheol pulled away to look at you. If only you knew how his heart is swell with love right now. You cupped his cheeks and pulled him for a sweet, soft kiss. You can feel his smile against your lips as he kissed you back. He pulled out from the kiss and nuzzled his head in the crook of your neck and let out a sigh. You run your fingers through his hair, as your other hand rubbed his back softly.
"I let the kids watch their favourite show while eating breakfast so we can stay like this longer if you want" Seungcheol giggles at your words. He didn't even need to ask or say anything for you to know.
"You definitely leveled up your mind reading skill huh?" Both of you now laughing at his replies.
"Happy birthday" You whisperers again. Seungcheol let you spoiled him with more kisses on the top of his head. His arms still wrapping you closer, as both of you basking into each other presence in not-so-silent morning because your kids definitely don't know how to stay silent despite being them being outside the room. Both of you sometimes giggles when you heard their funny conversation of the cartoon they're watching
Seungcheol closed his eyes, hoping he can absorb all of this moments into his memory. He feels so happy that he was about to burst, at the same time, he feel so loved that he was about to melt. He do not dare to ask for more. Having this little family by his side, celebrating his birthday like this is enough for him and he is just already so thankful for that.
P/s : I hope no one can tell but the ending kinda rushed. I want to finish it today and post it before end of the day but I got sudden works I need to do and going to be busy all day so I just finished this so i can upload this today. I didn't even got to check this one properly so I'll be back for some correction or maybe redo some part later but this is it for now.
