Hes Sick (1/1)

Almost two months ago, we could see the happy smile on Yifan’s face as Daehyun took his first step. Of course he was happy, it was his baby after all! But, the all smiley face turned into a frowning one with imaginary miserable tears as he had to face another...  Phase.  "Daehyun-ah!!!!"  The house was filled with Yifan’s desperate scream as he had to catch the all-smiley-butt-naked baby Wu Daehyun who was running while showing his toothy grin as if he was enjoying the little torture he gave to his father.  "How could an 11-month-old baby has this much energy?! Is it normal?! Or am I getting old already?!"  The young father took a deep breath in as he stopped halfway from catching his still naked son. God knew how happy he was when Daehyun finally could walk. And, he too, knew it was dead tiring to have a baby who could finally walk. But! Never in his life would know taking care of an overly active running kid would be this tiring. His energy seemed to get suck out every second the boy named Wu Daehyun woke up from his sleep.  "Appppaaaaaaaaa!!! Iyyuwawawayaaaa!!!!!" Daehyun screamed his baby language to Yifan before resumed his running towards his precious teddy bear on the couch. Seeing the baby -who had just took his bath- getting engrossed with his teddy bear, the young father took a bold move by pulling the baby into his arm and started to put the diapers on. Unhappy with the new layer over him, Daehyun squirmed as hard as he could but failed miserably as Yifan was fast at putting his pants on.  "Ayiyayayaaaa!!!" Yifan was deadpanned seeing his precious son cried as he was being dressed up. Daehyun started to hate wearing clothes especially when he knew the activity called 'running'. He was indeed a free spirit baby.  "Yaaa, baby... We're going out... Of course I have to dress you up. You can't just go out naked..." Yifan then enveloped the baby in his arms to calm him down. The baby slowly calmed down in his father's arm. He then sat on his father's lap and just let his father dressed him up. Yifan would not mind at all if Daehyun only wore a diaper at home. But, they were having an appointment at the hospital since Daehyun needed to get his immune shot. Besides, the weather was getting colder recently which meant Daehyun had to dress up warmly or he might catch a cold.  "It's gonna be a longgg day." The father sighed heavily, before making his way to change. Time is ticking!   The journey to the hospital was not that long as it only took 10 minutes without traffic. When they got into the hospital, there were only a mother and her daughter waiting for their turn, which meant Yifan and Daehyun did not have to wait longer.  "Appa."  Daehyun patted his father's thighs before pointing his cute tiny and chubby finger toward a playpan not far from the waiting area. The father smiled before picking up the standing baby to his lap.  "Daehyun-ah, it is going to be our turn real soon. Can you wait for a moment? Appa will take you there after we meet the doctor. Okay?"  The baby then replied with a nod before squirming to leave his father's lap. Yifan could only smile seeing the smiling baby when he was exploring around the place.  "He would definitely scream the moment he saw the needle."  After almost 15 minutes waiting, it was Daehyun’s turn.  "Wu Daehyun, please come in."  Daehyun toddled to the doctor's room, without knowing he would get his shot. The baby just showed his toothy smile when he was greeted by Dr. Suho - who happened to be his father's friend - and he absentmindedly walked into the doctor's embrace.  "Aigoo, Daehyunnie is bigger now. How are you buddy?" Suho lovingly caressed the baby’s chubby cheeks making the baby grinned even wider. "I still can't believe he still likes you though you gave him shot two times already." The doctor showed his smug face before measuring Daehyun's head size while the baby was on his father's lap.  "Oh, come on! Kids love me. Thought you knew it already, mate." And he only received deadly eyeshot from Yifan before they walk to the height and weight measurer behind Yifan. The check-up was all good until a nurse came in with a syringe for Daehyun's immune shot. The moment he saw the tiny little syringe in Suho's hand, Daehyun immediately squirmed to get out of his father's hold but to no avail.  "Here comes the disaster in three, two..."  "Ayiyayaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!" And the room was filled with Daehyun 's shrilly scream the moment Suho pierced the needle into his flesh. The pain was nothing to Yifan, but the young father knew it was too much for a baby like Daehyun to bear. Yifan bit his bottom lip as Daehyun's face turned red because of the excessive pain and crying. The father could not help but feel the guilt slowly built in him but he knew he had to do it for Daehyun’s own good.  "Aigoo, aigoo... I'm sorry, okay! Look, it's done now... It's okay... I'm right here..." Daehyun -who was still crying- buried his face against Yifan's broad chest as he could still feel the sting from the shot.  "Appaa... Appaaa..." "Yes... I'm here, baby... I'm here..."  Slowly, the father left the room after bidding goodbye to Suho and they entered the playpan Daehyun wished to play in just now. There were not many kids inside, only a few with three female nurses watching and playing with them. Including Daehyun, there were 5 kids and one of them was in a nurse's arms. Yifan just let his son walk inside the playpan. Daehyun seemed to completely forget the shot he got the moment his eye landed on a few shape-blocks across the room. The baby joined the small group of children, leaving Yifan alone with the nurse who was holding a tiny baby.  "Hello there... What's your name?" The nurse smiled at the father, before she slowly turned to face Yifan with the baby in her arms.  "Hello, Mister. I'm Jonguppie." The nurse imitated a baby voice while introducing the baby's name. "Oh, so you're a boy... " the young father then gently took the baby's small hand and could not help but smile as the baby smiled, while sticking his tongue out.  "He likes you, mister." The father let out a chuckle, before asking the nurse’s permission to hold the small baby.  "He's a newborn isn't he?" Yifan asked before slowly caressing the baby's cheek. Jonguppie was surprisingly... thin for a baby. The nurse formed a bitter smile, as if the simple question was a pain for her to answer. She then fixed the beanie on Jongup’s small head before replying Yifan.  "Actually, mister… He's going to turn six months in a week." Yifan’s eyes widened in disbelief, upon hearing the new information. It would be a lie if he was not surprise. The baby in his arms was very small for a six-month-old baby like the nurse had claimed. He looked exactly like Daehyun when the latter was born. How could this baby be this small when he was already five months plus?  "Seriously?! My goodness. He looks like a newborn."  Yifan smiled lovingly to the baby, causing him to stick his tongue out before stretching his small hand out to touch Yifan's nose. The baby definitely liked him.  "Oh... Well. He's small because..."  "He's sick." Notes from Shimmie: Okay this is super short I know! But, the next chapter will be longer! I hope so. T^TThank you for those who subscribe to this!
