Fairy Tales

Wait! Jaya felt something strange. He touched Joon's forehead with his palm.

"Hey, do you have a fever, Joon?" said Jaya, quietly.

"It's no big deal, Dad. The fever will go down on its own later. But more than that, I'm very sleepy right now." Joon said. His eyes felt so hot right now. Either because of sleepiness or because of the fever. His body also felt so weak. However, Joon prefers to remain silent. He was sure that he would get better after a little sleep.

"Okay, you go to sleep first! Do you want me to read you a fairy tale like before?" bargain Jaya. He adjusted the position of the pillow so that Joon felt comfortable.

Joon nodded.

"He'em, after all it's been a long time I haven't heard a fairy tale from my father. The last time I was 7 years old," he said while adjusting his sleeping position.

Currently Joon rests his head on Jaya's left arm. This child is indeed spoiled asking for a beating at home, but when he is at school he acts like a thug, Jaya thought.

Jaya took the story book that she always read to Joon first, which was not far from the bed.

"In a kingdom called Nakagawa, there lived a beautiful princess named Amaya and her sister named Masaru. They...."

"Grooookk!" It sounded so loud.

Jaya turned to Joon.

"Oh my gosh, this kid has only been asleep for a few seconds. Hahaha and this snoring? It's really not elite if it's someone else's snoring," Jaya whispered.

After a few minutes it felt like Jaya's arm was starting to tingle, so Joon's head was moved to the pillow. Ah yes, he almost forgot, his son is now a teenager.

In fact, Joon's height will soon surpass Jaya. He's not the little Joon they used to be. Joon who is still 4 years old. Joon who always cries every night because of bad dreams. Joon who likes to pee and poop in his pants. Jaya will never forget that moment. When Joon destroys Kevin's date with his girlfriend.

Jaya smiled. Flashes of that embarrassing incident flashed through his mind.
