፧⠀⠀ number of cases

I have not had second lead syndrome with a K drama until this show. Extraordinary You had me loving Ha Ru but as the show progressed I felt so bad for Baek Kyung 😢, for him Eun Dan O was the only one who truly knew him in the stage and in the shadow

When this scene of a perfect day between them was shown, my heart hurt for Kyung 😭. It must have been so bittersweet for him, to get to be happy with Dan O but know this wasn’t the real her he’d gotten to know in the shadow

This was so much fun to write! Thanks Anon! I hope it fulfills all your fluffy Weredad desires.

“Hey dad! Kigot tangled up in the fishing line again!” Gyeong chortled. Laughing at hisbrother.

“Why don’you help him then?” Saeyoung yelled at him from the truck. He was pulling outthe cooler filled with food MC had sent with them. She didn’t believe theycould catch enough to keep themselves fed. He was tempted to overturn it, but,he was more afraid if she was right that she would be extremely angry with himfor letting their sons starve. He sighed and yanked it towards the camp site.

“Becauseit’s too funny watching him!”

Ki hadsomehow gotten the hook of the line stuck to the back of his shirt and wasturning around in circles as if he could catch it eventually. Saeyoung watchedhis youngest son and shook his head, he looked just like a cat. He shovedGyeong on the shoulder and gave him a disapproving look. He couldn’t be too madhowever, Gyeong was so much like him that every time he did something MC wouldget mad at Saeyoung more than at Gyeong. And he was merciless when it came toteasing his brother.

Saeyoungstopped his son’s circling and detached the hook from the back of his shirt. Hetook the pole and set it down.

“God,you’re such an idiot!” Gyeong shot at his brother.

Saeyoungtook the Gameboy from Gyeong, “Don’t call your brother an idiot!” he said,turning away and stowing the electronic device in his bag.

“Whynot? Saeran calls you that all the time!” Gyeong flung at him.

Saeyoungsighed, teenagers! He turned back around to his boys. “Saeran earned the rightto call me that. You and your brother have a very different life than we did.”Saeyoung tossed his bag into the tent he had set up. He sat on the cooler andlooked at his sons.

“Weknow, we know!” Gyeong sat on a log, his arms crossed in front of him, staringinto the fire they had all helped to build.

Saeyoungand MC had decided that they were not going to keep their children from knowingthe truth about their past. The boys knew about the twin’s abusive mother andabsent father, they knew about the time Saeran had been in Mint Eye, althoughnot all of the gory details. They wanted them to know how special their liveswere, and what a blessing it was to have two parents that not only loved them,but that loved each other. On top of that, they also had the added benefit of thepack and their Uncles. Not to mention the entire RFA. Saeyoung shook his head,he wondered if any other children in the world were as lucky as his. Had theythe need, they could call on the capable abilities of Jaehee, the star power ofZen, and the money and influence of Jumin. Although he hoped they would neverbe in such dire need. He wanted his children to have a blessed life. A goodlife. A happy life.

“Howcome mom didn’t come? Or Uncle Saeran and Yoosung?” Ki asked, digging a hole inthe dirt with a stick.

“Well,I wanted it to be just us. We don’t spend a lot of time alone together.”Saeyoung said.

“Ilike being in the pack.” Gyeong chimed in.

“I dotoo. It’s just, I wanted to hang out with my sons for a few days. Somethingwrong with that?” he asked, eyebrows raised. “Besides, you guys love camping,why the sad faces?”

Kishrugged, “I miss mom.”

“Anduncle Searan said he would teach me to hunt the next time we went into thewoods.” Gyeong whined.

“Imiss mom too, but, we can have fun together right? And, I can teach you how tohunt just as well as Saeran.” Saeyoung was affronted.

Gyeongrolled his eyes.

“Look,I know for you two life seems to be passing by infinitely slowly. But for me,and your mom, it’s going by way too fast! Gyeong, you’ll be going off touniversity soon and Ki, you’re almost into high school. Soon enough you willboth be gone and, well, I’m going to miss you. I want to spend as much timewith you while I can.”

Gyeongsighed, but said nothing. He knew he was lucky. Luckier than most kids he knewwhose parents were divorced, or who physically or verbally abused them. Evenkids with families in tact weren’t as lucky as he was. He didn’t like to disappointhis parents, and he kind of felt bad for making his dad sad, but he couldn’t helpit. He figured it had something to do with hormones, whatever reason, he vowedto try really hard and make this weekend enjoyable for his father, even if hehimself was miserable.

“Comeon guys! This is supposed to be fun! Let’s go fishing!” Seayoung clapped hishands and rubbed them together. He stood up and grabbed his pole and the tacklebox. Gyeong reluctantly stood and grabbed his own pole, Ki being the last toget up with his. He held it gingerly out. He liked fishing, but, he was ratherclumsy. He’d once somehow gotten the hook stuck in Gyeong’s ear. His father hadhad to pull Gyeong off him that time. Although he hadn’t really hurt Ki thatmuch. He knew how to pull his punches, as a werewolf, Gyeong was much strongerthan Ki.

HelpingKi get the worm on his hook and casting out, far away from Gyeong, out on thedock, Saeyoung turned to his older son, who had already cast out himself. He stoodnext to him, but far enough away that their lines wouldn’t cross. They stood insilence. Saeyoung could feel the boys’ mind whirling away a mile a minute. Theywere so much alike, but, Saeyoung had never gone through the typical teenagedstage. He had already been on his own and making a lot of money. His childhoodwas riddled with pain, and missions.

“Dad?”

“Uhhuh?”

“When,when did you know you loved mom?”

Oh,shit, it was this conversation? They’d spoken about sex, Saeyoung had noproblem talking about it with his son, there were few secrets about it when youlived in a pack, but, love was completely different.

“Well,actually, I am ashamed to say that I pushed by feelings for your mother down. Ipushed her away.”

“Why?”Gyeong was genuinely curious.

“BecauseI was an idiot!” he laughed at himself. Gyeong chortled.

“No,I, I thought it was safer for her if she didn’t have feelings for me. If sheloved someone else.”

“Wow,that really was stupid.”

“Yes,yes it was, but, luckily for me, she was smarter. She just wouldn’t let me pushher away, and when I finally gave in, I was flooded with so much emotion, somany feelings I’d never let myself hope for. It was overwhelming. Love? I didn’tknow if it was love, but, at some point, she’d become something I couldn’t livewithout.”

“Isshe, is she the only person you ever loved like that?”

“Yes.”

“Whatabout when you were my age? Did you ever have feelings for someone?”

“WhenI was your age I was hacking for the agency Gyeong. I didn’t have the time orthe inclination for those kinds of feelings. It was something I knew I wouldnever have, so, I tried not to think about it.”

“Oh.”

“Whyall the questions suddenly? You like someone?” Saeyoung tried not to grin,letting his son take his time.

Gyeongshrugged. “Maybe. It’s just, well, with what I am…how did mom react?”

“Yourmom was different even in that. She’s a werecat, so, it was something that shecould easily accept. But, I’d be lying if I told you she wasn’t a little afraidwhen she found out. Gyeong, you know you can’t tell anyone! Not even someoneyou like, or think you love, not until…”

“Ifind my mate?” Gyeong finished.

“Yes.”

“Iknow, but, that means that any girl I like right now I’d have to lie to.”

“Itisn’t lying Gyeong. The person you fall in love with will know everything aboutyou, they will become part of the pack, whatever they may be. Werewolf, human,whatever! But until then.”

“Iunderstand.”

Therewas silence between them, but it was a comfortable silence.

“Thanksdad. I love you.” Gyeong muttered.

Saeyounggrinned, but turned away from his son, feeling the sting of happy tears in hiseyes.

“ILOVE YOU TOO!” Ki screamed at them from right behind. Gyeong almost dropped hispole into the river. He threw it on the deck and growled at Ki. Ki’s eyeswidened and he shoved his pole at Saeyoung and took off in a sprint. Gyeongbellowing behind him.

Saeyoungjust laughed and went back to his own fishing, the sounds of his sons in thebackground.
