"There is no way in hell I am ever going to call him, daddy."

"Technically. You just did."

"No. No way. What kind of logic are you trying to use on me, my dear brother?"

"I'm simply stating facts."

"Oh my god. Saeran. Please don't try to sound like him."

Saeran was amused. "What's wrong with sounding like dad?"

The scrunched up look on Saeyoung's face was a cross between incredulity and all suffering.

.

It was hilarious.

.

For all the efforts Saeyoung put into being illogical and silly, he was in fact the most logical out of the both of them.

"He's only 5 years older than us! How could he possibly be our father?!"

"He has paperwork from the government saying he's our dad."

"Saeran… A bunch of papers doesn't make someone our dad."

"A sperm donor doesn't make a person our dad either."

The bitter tone of Saeran's voice stopped Saeyoung short. He didn't think this was such a sensitive topic with his brother. They'd never had a father; and had never even seen him before. Why did it suddenly matter now?

"If there's anyone that deserves to be called our dad, it would be Jumin. He's always been like one to us, hasn't he? What's wrong with calling him that?"

Saeyoung facepalmed. Why was Saeran so insistent on playing house like this? His brother had always been such a dreamer, but he didn't expect this kind of thing at this age. They were only a few years away from becoming adults!

It was one thing with Ran becoming their mom, because they were just kids then! It made sense at the time. But right now… Isn't it a little weird?

"Just because mom and Jumin are together and he decided to adopt us, doesn't mean we have to call him dad…"

"I call him that because I want to, not because I have to."

"What if Jumin doesn't like being called that? He's still a young guy. Too young to want to be called dad by people our age."

"Nope. I'm pretty sure dad loved it. He had a pretty dopey smile a while after I did it."

What.

"You serious?"

"Why would I lie?"

.

. . . .

.

"You do you, little bro."

.

Yeah…. Even if he did want to see that dopey smile… There was no way Saeyoung was ever gunna call Han Jumin, dad. The embarrassment alone would probably be enough to kill him.
