Chapter 377 - Extra: Happy Birthday

"Wake up, Mom! Wake up! We need to prepare for dad's birthday!" a little boy exclaimed.

Sitting on top of the bed beside Lee Soohyun, the five year old Eunwoo slapped his hand on top of her c.h.e.s.t in order to wake the sleeping woman up.

A groan escaped from Soohyun's mouth while she stirred up in her bed slightly, and after mumbling some incoherent words, she turned her back on the five year old to go back to sleep.

"Mom, wake up! Don't be lazy! You should not have stayed awake all night watching dramas! Didn't you say that you will bake dad a big, big, big cake and give him a huge party? Mom! Wake up!" Eunwoo voiced out, pulling on to Soohyun's shoulder.

"Eunwoo, your dad wouldn't return until the night, so let me sleep," Soohyun drowsily voiced out.

However, the little boy who had been anticipating for this the entire time had no more patience anymore. Although his mother mentioned to him on how it was alright, Eunwoo was adamant on building the cake now.

When his eyes fell on the glass of water on top of the table, a mischievous idea came inside his mind, and extending his hand towards it, he grabbed on to the glass.

Without wasting a second, he threw the content of the glass on top of the sleeping woman. Lee Soohyun who had been hit with the water was caught by surprise due to the sudden action.

Her eyes widened as she jolted up from the bed, and finding the wetness seeping through her garments, she turned her head to glare at the five year old boy.

"Eunwoo!" A groan escaped from her mouth.

Staring at Soohyun with his innocent doe eyes, he spoke out, "Dad said to do this when you don't wake up, Mom, and then, after that, he told me to run away. So, bye, mom. Hurry to the kitchen."

Soohyun ran her hand through her hair while she shook her head.

Her son did take after her in some aspects.

"Mom! Mom! You can't do this! This is not fair! You are so mean!" Eunwoo w.h.i.n.ed.

Currently, Lee Soohyun and Eunwoo were both in the kitchen. While Soohyun was cracking the eggs to put them inside the bowl, Eunwoo was floating on the air.

His legs were folded to a sitting position, and regardless of how the boy tried to reach his hand downwards, that wasn't possible. The air prevented him from doing so.

"You should have thought properly of the consequences before drowning me with that water," Soohyun said, "This is your punishment."

A sigh escaped from the five year old's mouth while he lowered his gaze. Staring at the ground, the boy became docile, and as he fidgeted with his finger, a melancholic expression crossed his eyes.

"But I just wanted to bake cake and arrange a party for dad together with you. I was so happy for it that I woke you up like that, Mom. Sorry," the five year old stated.

Hearing the boy's words, Soohyun raised her head to stare at the little boy, and seeing the tears that formed at the corner of his eyes, she could find her heart softening.

"This is all my fault. Stupid Eunwoo! Now, I can't even bake a cake for dad. I was looking forward towards it this badly," Eunwoo said, "I guess some things will forever be a dream."

Unable to hear Eunwoo's disheartened tone any longer, Soohyun said, "Fine, your mistake was not that big. I will let you down, so that you can help me."

With that, Soohyun lifted her magic off of the boy, and smoothly, the five year old landed on the ground. The tears in his eyes immediately disappeared at that, and a wide smile formed on his face.

"Dad was right! You are really weak towards cute things, Mom!" Eunwoo spoke out, winking towards Soohyun.

"I should not have looked at you," Soohyun commented, "Anyway, since there is not much you can do now, just sit on the chair. After I am done baking the cake, you can decorate it. Don't create any trouble."

Eunwoo obediently nodded and said, "When did I create trouble for you, Mom? I am a good boy!"

Letting out a chuckle at that, Soohyun grabbed her son by his shoulder, and raising him, she placed him on top of the chair.

°°°

Finishing with the batter, Soohyun poured it into the pan for the cake, and after she was done with that, Soohyun's eyes fell on the remaining batter inside the bowl.

Eunwoo's nose instantly scrunched up when he felt the wet and cold substance on his nose, and without a warning, Soohyun placed some on his cheek as well.

"Mom! What have you done?" the little boy g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

"You look cuter this way," Soohyun vocalised.

Seeing the amus.e.m.e.nt Soohyun felt angered the little boy, and extending his hand towards the bowl, Eunwoo covered both of his hands with the batter.

Bringing both of his hands towards Soohyun, he tried to touch her cheeks with the batter. However, he was too far for that.

Raising the cake pan, Soohyun turned her back on the boy and said, "You are too short to reach me, Eunwoo-ah."

Finding himself being provoked by her words, Eunwoo stood up on the chair and tried to touch Soohyun's back.

Hearing the sudden noise, Soohyun turned back and saw the little boy who stood on the chair. Her eyes widened at that, and seeing how the boy bent at her direction, she exclaimed, "Min Eunwoo!"

Before the boy could lose his balance and fall down, she grabbed on to the joy protectively. The pan in her hand had fallen down, and slipping on the contents, Soohyun found herself falling down.

A groan escaped from her mouth when she came in contact with the hard ground, and a sharp pain went through her arm. Eunwoo was shielded from the pain for he landed on Soohyun's c.h.e.s.t.

Guessing what had happened, the boy's eyes widened and raising his head from Soohyun's c.h.e.s.t, he stared at Soohyun with worried eyes.

He then questioned, "Are you fine, Mom?"

Before Soohyun was able to respond to that, she heard a voice asking, "What are you two doing?"

Hearing that voice shocked both of them, and two of them stood up instantly. Seeing Han Minhyun before them caused a sheepish smile to form on their faces.

Covered in the batter, Soohyun was a mess, and compared to Soohyun, Eunwoo's appearance seemed to be better.

"You're back early—"

Before Eunwoo was able to continue his words, batter went flying towards Minhyun's face, and once it covered his face, Soohyun exclaimed, "Happy birthday!"
