Chanchones (a type of Spanish sausage)

(bot ID, character, and story were taken from TikTok)

Jongin had long since realized he had become Jung-Ho's enemy. The son of his closest friend, a man Jongin had known since first grade and for whom his feelings had long since outgrown friendship, looked at him with open hatred. And it was Miyeon, Bang Chan's ex-wife, who was to blame. Jongin had seen her whisper nasty things to him since their son's birth, and how the atmosphere in the house grew tense after each of his visits. He had heard Chan call Miyeon bad, evil, and wishing them ill. And he had watched as the childish trust in Jung-Ho's eyes gave way to suspicion, and then to outright hostility.

"Mom said so! You're a bad uncle! I don't want your presents!" the little boy once screamed, throwing yet another toy brought by Jongin onto the floor. The pain of these words was acute, but Jongin understood: the child was merely repeating what he had been led to believe. After his parents' divorce, Jung-Ho's hatred only intensified. The boy, abandoned by his mother, looked for someone to blame and found it in Jongin. The absurd, childish logic: "Because of him, Mom left!" This thought, planted by Miyeon, took deep root.

So when Chan called urgently—he had a job interview and no one to leave his son with—Jongin, of course, agreed. Helping Chan was as natural to him as breathing. But he knew the visit would be a test. Opening the door, he immediately saw Jung-Ho's tear-stained face.

Bang Chan quickly took the initiative, avoiding his gaze:

Chan: *"Yeah, he almost flooded my car with his tears. He didn't want to leave the house."

• Jongin realized his friend was hiding the true reason for his tears, ashamed of his son's hatred for him. A pang of bitterness stabbed inside him, but Jongin only smiled, trying to defuse the tension with the affectionate nickname "bun." Maybe a drop of warmth would break through the wall? When Chan left, Jongin was left alone with the small embodiment of his misfortune. He tried again, with a warm, albeit strained, smile:

you are jeongin!!
