My First And Last Man - Chapter 584
Visiting their former school together is very memorable for both Tae and Woo Jin after all they’ve been severed their ties for many years. Remembering this moment, Woo Jin suddenly said out of nowhere while driving.
“I’m really grateful for your wife Tae Woo”
On the other hand, Tae just focusing his attention on the music and heard Woo Jin so he is quite confused “huh?”
“I mean if it’s not because of your wife then for sure I’m really a goner now and it never happened for us to become friends again that’s why I’m very grateful to your wife.”
Tae looking at him as if saying ‘you’re still talking that one?’ But then he said differently “yeah indeed it’s because of my wife and after my wife heard my story, she concludes right away that I still treated you as my best friend so she did her best to stop you that day”
Back to Woo Jin he also looking at Tae as if saying ‘here we go again, showing off your wife’ but he also replied differently “your wife really knows you Tae, and speaking about your wife, are you really alright leaving your wife for 2 years?”
“Heh, even I, I don’t want to leave my wife for 2 years but then I can’t postpone it anymore since I will be 31 this year which is the off age for enlistment luckily my wife is not a Senian or else I can’t marry her yet”
“[Woo Jin’s laughing at Tae’s predicament and said] 2 years will just pass by without our notice or without your knowing Tae Woo, and its looks like you will only realized it like this ‘huh, it’s already 2 years and I’m going to see my wife now?’ or be like ‘Woah, I thought 2 years will be long for me but it’s not that long huh’, right?”
“Ha, ha, ha and says the guy who never been in the military duty”
“Well I’m exempted after all I belong to the Medicine Fields and luckily I know it from the start or else I can’t avoid it”
“…[Tae almost got speechless and replied} I see and so that’s why after you graduate in the Business Fields you also want to be a doctor just because you only want to be exempted huh, what a sly of you Woo Jin.”
“Well, that’s one reason of it why and the main reason is in order for me to follow my wife’s path or else she will never notice my existence. Oh, we’ve arrived Tae”
“Mm and thanks for the ride Woo Jin” then Tae hop out “see you again after I got a discharge and I will meet up with you again, okay?”
“Yeah and that’s why you need to do, so see you again after 2 years” then Woo Jin drives off. As for Tae, he retrieves the car he parks at the shop then informing his wife that he’s on the way and driving right away to his home. Around 5 pm, Tae arrives at the house and realized that his wife is not in the living room so he asks his niece and nephew-in-law.
“Where are your Auntie, Ken, and Ellyn?” Asking the two who are both focused on watching anime at the moment.
Ellyn is the one replying since Ken is too immersed in the anime he watches “oh, you’re here Uncle Tae, and welcome home”
“Thanks and so where’s everyone?”
“Auntie Jun and Uncle Jun are with the twins while Auntie Rei is preparing for our dinner”
“She cooks?”
“Huh?” Ellyn got confused.
“Not cooking Dear because I only prepare the foods on the table since Mom is the one cooking the foods. Oh, right you need to change first”
Automatically Tae looking at his wife and give a peck kiss on her lips since the kids are with them so a long kiss is not good.
“I’m home and did you miss me?”
“Uh-uh and so, did you have a good day today?” Tae nodded and Rei continue “but before that change first and I’m going to listen to you after we’re done eating, okay?”
“Okay”
“Ken and Ellyn, wash your hands now”
“Okay Auntie Rei” only Ellyn replied.
“Ken?”
“Y—-yes Auntie?”
“Pause that one and we will eat our dinner after washing your hands, okay?”
“Okay” Ken pause that TV right away and washing his hands at the washbasin then seating in the dining area and waiting for everyone while Rei also calling her parents-in-law.
Knocking the door though it’s already open and informing them. “Mom and Dad, the foods are now ready.”
“Oh, I see, and are we not going to wait for Tae?”
“Tae just arrived and already changing to our room”
“Oh” then laying Wu-wu at the cribs.
“How’s Wu-wu now, Mom?”
“Already fine now Rei and we’ve never expected that he got a fever today”
“Right but you don’t need to worry Wu-wu Rei since he is alright now” Tae’s Dad second the motion since Rei been worried after arriving at home.
“…..okay Dad and how about Re-re?”
“As usual she never cries after the twins pass 6 months old [Re-re and Wu-wu]”
“Mm…. I see” replied then Rei c.a.r.e.s.sing both her twins.
“Don’t worry Rei because Tae is also like that when he is 6 months old. Just like Re-re, Tae never cries after he pass 6 months old and just like Wu-wu, he also got a fever out of sudden” Tae’s Mom comforting Rei but she only listens and she continues “alright we will go first and I will let Tae call you for our dinner, okay?” Rei just nodded.
After few minutes Tae comes and notices his wife’s worried expression “is there’s something wrong, Hon?”
“Uh-uh, so before and after attending the mass, Wu-wu is very normal but then suddenly after you drop us here, Wu-wu suddenly got a fever and I’m going to inform you but then Mom and Dad stop me and said that I don’t need to trouble you and that it’s very normal for a baby to have a fever since they are metabolically active and they are right since he’s now fine as if he doesn’t have a fever a while ago”.
“Heh, I see” Tae replied while smiling then carrying Wu-wu “my baby boy, don’t trouble your Mama, okay?”
Wu-wu didn’t reply since he is still 6 months old instead he just snuggles his small head to his father’s embrace.
Noticing the reaction of his baby boy, both parents smiling at each other and Tae said to his wife “I guess Wu-wu already knows that his beloved father will be away to his beloved mother and he got worried for both his beloved parents so that’s why he got a fever out of nowhere.”
“Huh?”
“It’s not scientifically proven but as my blood flows to Wu-wu then that’s for sure”
“Then don’t tell me during your enlistment period, Wu-wu will get a fever every time he got worried about us?”
“Probably and if that will happen then just make sure that Wu-wu can both sense our presence then he will be fine of course you need to seek a doctor on the next if he is still not fine.”
“You have a point in there, Dear, and I will take note of that”
Tae’s laughing out of nowhere and said “you just believe me like that and you won’t call me I’m only imagining about the first one?”
“Nope, I won’t after all Wu-wu just suddenly got fine maybe he already sense your presence so I will take note of that.”
