"Can’t I eat sothing else other than porridge today?" Xu y made a pout as she requested Jie while they were having their brunch like any other weekend.
"What else do you want?" Jie asked while he took a sip of soy milk with his deep-fried dough stick.
"Sothing tasty..." Xu y left her words hanging. Jie knew very well where her mind was wandering but he still played dumb.
"Porridge is also tasty. There are so many fruits as well."
Xu y’s face fell. Even she knew that there was a variety of foods on the table but she craved sothing different... Like food from street stalls. Yes! That’s what she was craving badly.
"Ring! Ring!"
"Forget it. You go and check who’s at the door." Xu y waved him off with a terrible mood.
The bell rang a couple of tis again and by the ti Jie reached the door, he could guess the intruder who was so impatient. He yanked open the door and as he expected, there stood his overly hyper brother, Ye Jun.
"What are you doing here?" Jie asked sternly.
"Step aside. I’m not here to see your broody face anyway." Ye Jun pushed Jie aside and walked right past him in a hurry. He straight went to Xu y with open arms as if he was about to hug her. But just as Xu y was going to embrace him, he leaned down and went to her protruding belly saying, "Hey, there my dearest niece! Look, your favorite, most dashing, most handso and genius uncle is here to see you."
Xu y was amused to see his antics while Jie was glaring at his back.
"Most handso and dashing? Even a genius?" Xu y repeated his words in an amusing manner.
Ye Jun stood straight and patted his chest saying, "Of course! I’ll be the most handso man in my niece’s life."
"In a few seconds when I’ll bang your head open, you’ll certainly won’t be able to stay handso or alive." Jie’s threat from behind made Ye Jun cower back a little.
"Bro, what are you saying? Obviously, after you. I’m always right behind you. You’ll be the first and most handso man in our little girl’s life. Okay?" Ye Jun changed his color faster than a chaleon but it pacified Jie at so level.
He threw Ye Jun’s hand from his shoulder away and said, "You better rember that." Saying that Jie walked towards his study to deal with so emails.
Seeing that he was gone, Ye Jun sneaked out the door and brought a paper bag inside while grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Sis, look what I got for you..." Xu y eyed his bag with interest and took a peek inside. Her eyes glimred at the sight of the content inside. "Aren’t I the best bro-in-law?" Ye Jun wiggled his brows looking for praises.
"You are definitely the best!" Xu y gave him thumbs up and snatched the paper bag from him.
The bag contained everything that she was craving for... Korean style fried chicken, lamb kebabs, roasted sweet potatoes, Kimchi pancake and he was even thoughtful enough to bring freshly squeezed pogranate juice for her. How sweet!
Without further ado, Xu y dug in to eat with gusto. She didn’t even realize that Jie was watching her from a peephole. But he had no intention of ruining her appetite. Her appetite had been a bit bad for the past few days and he had only ntioned it to Ye Jun over the phone. Knowing his brother when Ye Jun ca unannounced, Jie had already realized what he was doing here but since both Xu y and Ye Jun liked to sneak around, he pretended like he didn’t see them at all.
Sotis, the food tasted even better when you knew you were acting like a thief.
"Oh, I heard my niece kicked," Ye Jun looked at Xu y expectantly.
"First of all, call him your nephew. And yes, he kicked." Xu y said with pride and happiness bubbling inside of her.
"Bumr! I want to feel it too." Ye Jun whined like a little kid.
Xu y slapped the back of his head and said, "Why are you so eager?"
"Oho! Sis, I heard that the feeling of a baby’s first kick sothing different. Sothing magical... Otherworldly. I want to feel that sensation as well. Tell , what did it feel like?" Seeing his eyes filled with childlike curiosity, Xu y gave a thoughtful look.
"Mmm... How should I say it... I felt so twitches and tumbling motion which I couldn’t understand at first but then... Then there was a distinctive kick. I really can’t put it in words but it felt great. I feel so close to him now." Xu y was fondling her belly with a tender gaze. "And I learned that this phase is called ’quickening’. It’s a beautiful mont."
"Tsk. I’ll stick around you from now on."
"Why?"
"I want to feel the kick." Ye Jun answered matter-of-factly making Xu y shake her head at this big baby.
"How will you be an uncle? You still have years ahead to grow up." Ye Jun stuck his tongue out childishly at her remark.
