Oak Sung not only has the ability of kung-fu...but also has a flair for the arts...wood carving.
Chapter 7: Brotherhood Gifts
A few weeks went by after Mako was born and Oak Sung was sitting around in a little warehouse in the backyard with Sakamoto and the cub watched his dad do some wood carving and he found it really amazing to do these kind of things and he asked, "What ya making, dad?"
"I'm making a very special gift for you and Mako." Oak replied, as he carved some wood.
That widened up Sakamoto's eyes to know that his dad is making them something just for them and he got so excited to know what it could be, but Oak simmered his excitement down a little and he lets out a chuckle as he pats his head and said, "Patience, little one."
"Do you need any help?" asked Sakamoto.
"Hand me that little piece of oak wood right there." Oak replied.
Sakamoto looks for that piece of oak wood and he sees it right in front of him, picks it up and gives it to his dad in which he carves it and forms it in the shape of a heart and he brings in another piece of wood and carves it to a mini piece in the form of the sun and within a couple of minutes, Oak made a really cool gift.
Sooner or later, Oak spent the next 45 minutes putting some finishing touches to make it look exponentially perfect so that it's suited for both boys to have as little gifts for their future brotherhood bond. After painting, inscription and putting some string on it, it's time to show it to the boys.
Later that day
Oak Sung, Sakamoto and Mako headed to the tree in the backyard and as they sat under it, Oak Sung was the first one to say, "The fact that I have one son is the best day of my life and having a second one adds to my happiness and I know that you two will do all that you can to look out for each other. Saka, you have responsibility to look out for your brother and he will look up to you and see what an example you'll set for him."
Sakamoto nodded his head and agreed with what his father said and he pulls out two different gifts...a necklace with shapes of sun and a heart and both of those gifts completely blew Sakamoto away, but he knew that one's his and another one is for his new baby brother.
"Sakamoto...the heart is yours because yours is growing bigger and bigger every second. Keep your heart wide open and let it remain a heart of gold. You will touch a lot of lives...including your brother's." Oak said, giving him the necklace.
Sakamoto lets out a smile and said, "Thanks, baba."
Then, Oak brings out the sun and placed it on Mako's neck and he said, "Mako...this is the sun because like your brother, you will shine in the greatest way possible. Help each other and be supportive of one another."
Oak chuckled softly and he said, "You two are treasures in my life and I am deeply lucky to have both of you in our family. Always remember this...never change who you are and be the best brothers you can be."
Sakamoto rested his head on his dad's side and he said, "I love you, baba."
"I love you too, son." Oak said.
Then, Mako laid his head down on Oak's stomach and he lets out a slight chuckle and said, "Love you too, Mako."
Wonderful love between a father and two sons. What could be better? Stick around for more!
