J - Jongup

Junhong was four when he first met Moon Jongup.

He was with Uncle Daehyun and Aunt Youngjae at the park because they were spending the day with him. Aunt Youngjae said that Umma and Appa were on a date and that they needed some "Umma and Appa alone time."

Jello didn't know what that meant but Uncle Daehyun said that he didn't have to worry about dates until he got older. So he just shrugged it off and happily spent the day with his favorite Uncle and Aunt.

Jello's favorite part of the park was the sandbox, which was usually full but on that particular day, there was only a small boy there. Jello had decided on the way to the park that he was going to build a sandcastle so he made sure to bring his shovel and bucket.

Jello took a seat next to the small boy and started working on building his sandcastle. He could see Aunt Youngjae sitting with Uncle Daehyun on a bench nearby and he waved at them. They smiled at him and waved back.

Jello carefully used his small plastic shovel to pick up the sand and then dumped it in his bucket. He had done this procedure many times before with Appa because he would always go to the park with Appa whenever Appa had free time. They would always build sandcastles whenever they were here.

As Jello successfully built one tower of his castle, he looked over to see what the other boy was doing. What he saw was that the boy was using his hands to try to build a small sand hill but was failing because the sand kept coming down.

He looked kind of sad because his hill wouldn't hold up. Or maybe it was because he didn't have any tools to help him. All he had was his small hands.

So Jello decided to be friendly since Umma always said that he should be nice to the other kids at the park.

"Hi!" Jello said as he scouted closer to the sad-faced boy, who look startled at the sudden noise.

"H-hi." The boy said so quietly that Jello could barely hear him.

"Do you want to build a sand castle together?" Jello asked, offering his shovel to the other boy.

"O-okay." He answered and hesitantly took the shovel from Jello. 

"My name is Junhong but everyone calls me Jello. Well mostly Umma and Appa and Uncle Daehyun and Aunt Youngjae and sometimes Uncle Yongnam. What's your name?" The boy just stares at Jello as he lists all the people who call him by his nickname.

"M-my name is Jongup. Umma calls m-me Guppie sometimes." Jongup started digging some sand and helped Junhong fill the bucket with sand.

"I'm four. How old are you?" Jello used his hand to gather sand since he gave his shovel to his new friend.

"I'm five." Jongup replied, the bucket almost full of the grainy tan-colored substance.

"That makes you my hyung. Can I call you Guppie-hyung?" Jello scooped in the last bits of sand into the pail, which was pretty heavy now.

“Okay.” Jongup smiled a little at how nice Jello was. Usually he played alone at the park but today someone actually wanted to play with him and that made him feel happy.

"Now you have to make the sand flat. Like this." Jello started the pat down the sand like he had done plenty of times before with Appa and Jongup joined in after watching Jello do it. Then Jello gave the next set of directions and Jongup nodded showing that he understood.

Together, the duo lifted the bucket and set it down, which caused a sand tower to form. They made three more towers to compliment their first tower and a small sandcastle was built.

As time progressed, Junhong and Jongup built many more castles after knocking down their previous ones. Some had five or six towers. Jongup's face had turned a full one-eighty into a happy one and he even had a small smile on his face. He was happy that he made a new friend because he didn’t really have many friends. 

The two didn't notice Youngjae taking pictures of them from the bench. Youngjae thought it was so cute how close the boys were after only knowing each other for about an hour. He sent one to Himchan even though he knew that he probably wouldn't open it until later.

a/n: Tadah! Jongup appears… after 10 chapters. Lol. Enjoy! ^_^ and please excuse any mistakes. <3
