My Uncle's Warm Bed
Season 2: Don't Be Stupid
Alex visits a nightclub located in the heart of Seoul. He came to calm his slightly muddled mind. The chatter between his father and Luna that he heard accidentally incised a pain in his heart. It felt like Alex's chest was going to explode when he learned the fact that Deen Williams wasn't his real father.
"What happened to you, Lex? I don't usually see you once, are you in trouble?" Reprimanded a bartender while looking at Alex with a questioning look.
Alex raised his face and looked at him with a flat look. "I'm really in a really bad state. I just learned a very painful fact, the person I thought was my real father and the family I thought was my family turned out to be someone else." Her speech.
The bartender nicknamed 'Tiger' squinted his eyes and looked at him questioningly. "What do you mean?" he asked curiously.
"It turns out that I was just an adopted son in the family, and even more annoyingly the man I thought as my real father had been hiding the truth from me for decades. I really didn't think with him, he really let me down" Alex said
Tiger remained silent. He looked at Alex with a slightly sharp and disdainful look. "You're disappointed in him just because he didn't tell you about the truth? Do you really have no common sense, Alex?! Try to be in his position, what are you going to do? Tell your son if he's just a foster kid and break his heart, or keep that big secret from him just to keep seeing the smile on his face? Which one are you gonna pick, Lex?"
Tiger sighed while closing his eyes. "You're a lot luckier than me, Lex. You have a father who loves you and sisters who care about you even though you're a moon of theirs. They love you with all their heart, even your father would wake up all night when you're sick."
"I remember very well how he treated you, sometimes it made me jealous. I have a family but I don't have one. Think again and remember what he's been giving you all this time." Tiger gave Alex advice. He he didn't want Alex to do anything stupid that would make him regret.
Word after word that came out of Tiger's lips gave a hard slap to Alex. He had not thought of getting there and was only carried away with emotion for a moment after accidentally hearing the truth that Mr. Williams had revealed to Luna. Instantly he recalled the memories after fond memories he had with the middle-aged man.
Alex lit up her tears that suddenly welled up in her eye sockets. Regardless of Tiger, he got up from his chair and left just like that. Alex wants to see his father and tell him how much he loves him. Alex regrets the stupidity he's done.

Luna closed her eyes and sighed. Many times he tried to go back to sleep but could not. The conversation with the father this afternoon still continues to ring in his mind, so it is difficult for Luna to forget about it and accept the fact that Sean/Aiden was not her brother but only an adopted son in her family.
Among Eric and Alex, since childhood Luna was closest to Aiden. She's the one who's always there for Luna when she needs her, not that Eric and Alex don't care about her.
Luna was so afraid of losing her, she was afraid that her brother would leave her side. Because Luna believes that one day she will definitely return to her biological family and leave her and the Williams family.
Luna quietly sobbed in silence. Don't really experience it. Just imagining it made her very, very scared. Luna really didn't want to lose him and Aiden shouldn't leave her side.
And the sound of his sobbing reached the ears of someone who stood on the balcony of his room, which was located next to the balcony of Luna's room. The person jumped over the fence that became the connection between his room and Luna's room and looked inside to make sure if his ears were not troubled.
Justright. When he looked inside. That person who must be Aiden knocked on Luna's room door, asking that she open the door for him immediately.
The girl wiped her tears while getting up from her seat then walked towards the door and opened it for Aiden. "Why are you crying?" ask Aiden without further ado. Instead of an answer, it was a hug that Aiden received. Luna hugged him tightly, making Aiden flustered and wondering.
"Ge, you have to promise me, no matter what happens you can't leave me. I really don't want to lose you." Said Luna while tightening her embrace.
There was no response from Aiden. He was confused why Luna suddenly behaved like that, Aiden's pupils suddenly perfectly rounded. He let go of his embrace then looked at Luna with a questioning look.
"Luna, could it be that you already know that the two of us aren't actually~"
"Don't go on. I don't want to hear it, you're my brother and forever will be." Luna interrupted Aiden's words. The girl continued to shake her head while retreating a few steps back.
Aiden pulled Luna into his arms and hugged her tightly. His chin rested on the girl's brown-clad head. Aiden's eyes looked teary, his heart was so sore and his chest felt tight to hear Luna's sobbing. She hated it the most when she heard him cry, and Aiden would rather see him smile.
"No, I'll never leave you for whatever reason. I will always be by your side, guarding and protecting you." Aiden's whisper with a witty.
Aiden closed his eyes. As she hugs Luna, Aiden tries to convince Luna that he will never leave her for any reason, because she is the only source of happiness in Aiden's life. His heart always warms when he sees the beautiful smile that adorns his lips.
When it starts to calm down. Aiden released his embrace on Luna. His big fingers wiped away the trace of tears on the girl's cheeks.
"Don't cry anymore, you look ugly. My luna is a cheerful and not whiny girl like this," Aiden smiled.
Luna pursed her lips hearing her brother's ridicule. "Basan sucks, just keep mocking me." Said Luna while grumbling in annoyance.
Aiden smiled again. He held onto Luna's cheek with both hands. "From now on call me Aiden Gege, that's my real name, the name given directly by my parents." Pinta Aiden and nods back by Luna.
"All right, Aiden Gege." Said Luna and made Aiden smile widely. Back he took the girl into his arms and hugged her like before.
