I'll Raise My Future Omega Son-in-law-Chapter 74: THE BIG SURPRISE

"SUNBAE-nim, let’s call our Yuhyun and tell him that we’re attending his graduation recital," Wonyoung said, tugging at Yun Dujun’s arm. "I don’t care if the surprise will get ruined. Our son’s feelings are more important to me."

Yun Dujun just stared at Wonyoung, blinking slowly.

That was kind of annoying.

"What’s with that reaction, Sunbae-nim?" Wonyoung complained, still tugging at Yun Dujun’s arm. "You should be panicking with me! Our Yuhyun probably thinks that we have time for everything except for him!"

"It’s not good if we both panic. At least one of us has to stay calm," Yun Dujun said calmly, tilting his head to one side while still staring at Wonyoung’s face as if he were amused. "Sorry, I just spaced out a bit. This is the first time you’ve clung to me like this. I thought it was cute."

"Sunbae-nim, you need this isn’t the right time for that."

"I know. But I can’t help it. You’re so cute, Hoobae-nim."

"Of course, I’m cute. That’s one of my charms."

Yun Dujun chuckled. "Alright, let’s call our Yuhyun."

Wonyoung beamed, and then he nodded. "I’m sure our son will be happy if you tell him that you’re attending his recital, Sunbae-nim."

"But that will ruin your surprise for him, Appa, Abeoji."

Wonyoung and Yun Dujun both turned to An Baekya.

Oh, I almost forgot that the kid is with us.

"Baekya, it’s okay even if the surprise gets ruined," Wonyoung assured the kid. "I don’t want Yuhyun’s day to be ruined because we’re keeping a secret from him."

Yun Dujun nodded in agreement. "He’ll be happier this way."

"I’m sorry, but I beg to differ," An Baekya said while shaking his head. "Appa, Abeoji, I think I can calm down Yuhyun. Can you let me talk to him first?"

***

"HELLO, Uncle Inyeop," An Baekya greeted Yun Inyeop politely with a bow. Even though the man was only on the screen (since they were having a video call using Yun Dujun’s phone), he still greeted him properly, of course. "This is An Baekya."

"I know. I’m not that forgetful yet. You said you wanted to talk to Yuhyun?"

"Yes, Uncle. I’ll try to calm him down."

"Alright. I’ll talk to Yuhyun first. Then I’ll call again."

"Okay, sir."

The screen suddenly turned black.

An Baekya leaned against the backrest of the backseat while waiting.

Right now, he was in Yun Dujun’s fancy car while waiting for his foster parents to get ready.

Han Myung was standing outside the car.

I hope my plan works.

An Baekya didn’t have to wait long.

Yun Inyeop called again.

But, this time, Yun Yuhyun’s grumpy face showed up on the screen.

Puffy, red eyes.

Pouting lips.

Yep, this brat really did throw a tantrum.

"Hello, Yuhyun."

"What do you want?"

"I heard you don’t want to perform at your graduation recital anymore."

"What do you care?"

"I want to see you perform, Yuhyun-ah."

"So what?"

"I want to see who’s the better performer between us."

"Do you think I care—"

"If you’re not going to perform, then that means I win by default," An Baekya said, cutting off Yun Yuhyun. And then he smirked smugly. "To be fair, even if you perform today, I’ll still win because I’m better than you at singing and dancing. Yeah, you can act a little. But that doesn’t make you an excellent performer. You have to be a ’complete package’ like me."

Yeah, this was the plan— to provoke Yun Yuhyun.

The older Yuhyun was petty and hated losing. And this brat is also the same. The difference is that the young Yuhyun hates losing to me. He sees me as a rival, after all.

Hence, he was confident that his plan would work.

"Do you know why Appa decided to take me in?" An Baekya continued provoking Yun Yuhyun when the child remained quiet. "It’s because I’m a total performer like Appa and Abeoji. I can act, sing, and dance. If I do better, I’m sure Appa and Abeoji will be proud of me. But how about you? All you do is cry and throw a tantrum instead of making Appa and Abeoji proud."

"I can make Papa and Daddy proud, too!"

"Really? How?"

"I’m going to perform in our graduation recital and be the best!"

Heh.

Got you.

"Alright. Then I’ll go and watch your performance."

"You better be here later, An Baekya!"

"Of course, I’ll be there," An Baekya said while nodding. "Oh, do you want to play a game? If you don’t want to, it’s okay. I know you’re afraid of losing—"

"I won’t lose to you, so tell me what the game is!"

Aigoo.

This brat is always yelling.

"Find me in the audience later," An Baekya said. "I’ll give you a hint: I’ll be wearing a disguise, so it won’t be easy."

"You’re being silly, An Baekya. How can I find you in the audience while I’m performing?"

"Well, that’s a skill issue."

"You’re so mean!"

"So, are you backing out?"

"No! Let’s play your silly game!"

"Good," An Baekya said, smiling because he already got what he wanted out of that childish conversation. "Yuhyun-ah, I’ll give you a reward if you win."

***

"YES, HYUNG-nim. We’re already on our way. Thank you."

Wonyoung looked at Yun Dujun with hopeful eyes after the Alpha was done talking to Yun Inyeop on the phone. "What did Inyeop Hyung-nim say, Sunbae-nim? Is our Yuhyun going to perform now?"

Yun Dujun nodded. "Yes, Hoobae-nim. Inyeop Hyung-nim said our Yuhyun is done throwing a tantrum. Our son is participating in their final rehearsal now."

Whew.

"That’s a relief," Wonyoung said, and then he looked down at An Baekya, who was sitting between him and Yun Dujun in the backseat of the car that Han Myung was driving. "How did you convince Yuhyun to get on with his graduation recital, Baekya?"

"I just told Yuhyun that I’ll give him a reward if he does," Yun Yuhyun said, talking and smiling like an innocent kid. "Ah, we’re also playing a game later. I asked Yuhyun to find me in the audience."

Oho?

"That’s smart, Baekya," Yun Dujun said while gently patting An Baekya’s head. "Thanks to that, Yuhyun will definitely look at the audience area. I just hope Yuhyun realizes that it’s us once he sees us in those costumes."

"Of course, our Yuhyun will know it’s us," Wonyoung said confidently. "My baby is smart, after all."

***

SO, the hard part was sneaking into the auditorium hall where the graduation recital of the kindergarten babies was taking place.

After Wonyoung and his little family arrived at the school’s private parking, they immediately got inside the truck waiting for them.

Yes, a truck— a box truck, to be precise.

The one used for moving general goods from place to place.

Of course, the interior was customized.

It looks like a mini-living room in here.

Moreover, there were holes in the ’walls’ so they wouldn’t suffocate inside.

"Let’s change into our costumes now," Yun Dujun said. "The recital will begin in twenty minutes."

Yep, they decided to come close to the start of the program.

So that we’ll be the last to enter the hall.

"I’m excited," Wonyoung said while opening the box. "I can’t wait for Yuhyun to see us dressed like his favorite character."

"Appa, Yuhyun’s favorite character is a red panda," An Baekya said while looking at the costumes inside the box. "Not a raccoon..."

Yep, they would be wearing raccoon costumes today.

***

ENTERING the hall at the last minute was the right move.

Plus, it helped that the entrance to the balcony section of the hall was separated from the entrance of the other seat sections.

Hence, no one really saw Wonyoung, Yun Dujun, and An Baekya enter.

And the best part?

Only the three of them were on the balcony on the left side of the main stage.

Well, we have bodyguards outside to make sure no one comes here.

Anyway, the lights were already dimmed because the program was about to start in three minutes.

Despite the darkness, Wonyoung could still clearly see both Yun Dujun and An Baekya.

Pfft.

We look silly.

Wonyoung and Yun Dujun were wearing raccoon costumes while An Baekya wore a raccoon onesie pajama.

We can’t find a raccoon mascot that fits An Baekya, so we got him a onesie instead.

An Baekya looked cute in his onesie.

Yun Dujun, on the other hand...

Sunbae-nim looks a bit scary.

"I can tell that you’re judging me, Hoobae-nim," Yun Dujun complained lightly. "This is your idea, you know?"

"Yes, I know. But I didn’t expect you to look scary wearing that raccoon mascot, Sunbae-nim," Wonyoung said, trying hard not to laugh. "If I saw a huge ’raccoon’ like you in the streets, I would run away. You’re scarier than those people who dress up as clowns during Halloween."

"Hooba-nim, you’re also tall. Kids will probably get scared of us."

"That’s right," An Baekya agreed bluntly while nodding, as if the child had forgotten that he was supposed to be acting innocent. "Appa, Abeoji, let’s hope Yuhyun doesn’t get scared of you."

Pfft.

Wonyoung chuckled and wanted to say something defensively, but the lights on the stage suddenly lit up.

And then the emcee came up on stage and announced the start of the program.

Hence, he shut his mouth.

It’s finally starting!

And, thankfully, the program started with the kids’ recital.

Oh, the babies are coming up on stage.

Everyone was so cute!

The little boys were dressed like gentlemen while the little girls wore white dresses, making them look like angels.

They’re giving me baby fever!

Wonyoung only realized that he said that out loud when Yun Dujun responded.

"You want another child?"

"A daughter would be nice..." Wonyoung started to answer, but then he realized what he was doing. He was glad that he was wearing a head costume. Otherwise, Yun Dujun would have seen how he blushed so hard. "Sunbae-nim, what are you asking in front of a child?"

"You were the one who talked about having a baby fever first, Hoobae-nim."

"W-Well, it’s because the kids are cute. Especially the girls. Look at how they look like little angels because of their dresses."

"Uh-huh. So, you want a daughter?"

"What about it?"

"If you allow me to help you, I’ll work hard to give you a daughter."

"Sunbae-nim!" Wonyoung wanted to smack Yun Dujun, but it was hard to do that in his costume. "An Baekya can hear us!"

Yun Dujun just chuckled.

"Appa, Abeoji, please be quiet," An Baekya said politely. "The recital has begun."

***

WONYOUNG couldn’t stop smiling while watching the kids sing and dance on stage.

Of course, he could only see his son.

Hence, he noticed that Yun Yuhyun’s eyes were wandering around as if he were looking for someone.

He’s looking for us!

And it didn’t take long before Yun Yuhyun finally turned to the balcony.

It’s us, Yuhyun-ah!

Yun Yuhyun obviously got distracted.

The kid was still singing and dancing, but he kept glancing at the balcony section.

Oh, I should help my son.

Hence, Wonyoung grabbed the railing before headbanging to the beat of the music— just like what he did at the amusement park before.

And that was when Yun Yuhyun finally broke into a huge smile.

Ah, my baby recognized us!

Yun Yuhyun already knew that Wonyoung was the raccoon at the amusement park; hence, he did the same headbanging move that he did at the time.

That’s probably how my son realized that it’s us.

Plus, someone as tall as Yun Dujun was rare in their country.

So, I’m sure he recognized his daddy immediately.

An Baekya’s face was exposed, too.

I’m glad my baby spotted us.

Wonyoung noticed that Yun Yuhyun suddenly became more energetic.

His son was singing and dancing more enthusiastically now.

As a result, Yun Yuhyun stood out during the performance.

That’s my baby!

"Sunbae-nim, Baekya, let’s wave at Yuhyun!" Wonyoung said excitedly. This time, he was making little hops while waving at Yun Yuhyun. "He’s looking at us!"

Yun Dujun and An Baekya only gave small waves at Yun Yuhyun, though.

Aigoo.

They’re acting like old men!

Wonyoung just ignored Yun Dujun and An Baekya’s lukewarm reactions and continued giving Yun Yuhyun big reactions.

Every time his son would glance at them, he would make different kinds of hearts.

Heart cheeks, finger hearts, hearts above my head— you name it.

That was when the realization hit Wonyoung.

I love Yuhyun...?
