“Hyemi ah, what time does your kindergarden close?”

Taekwoon asks her when they meet at the park.

“2pm. Waeyo oppa?”

“I can visit you at my luch hour then”

“Sure you can oppa”

She smiled widely.

“Hakyeon hyung is not coming today?”

“No, he look so tired this day, I hope he could take leave and rest at least for one day”

“You know that he can’t right”

“Yeah, about the showcase right”

Taekwoon nods.

They rest for a while at the nearest bench.

“I really miss Junu. Why he didn’t come today?”

“He followed Jae for groceries shopping”

“Groceries shopping?”

“Yes, you know he lives with his parents, so he will do everything for his parents including accompany his mom to groceries shopping”

Hyemi smiles.

“Wah he is a nice son.”

Taekwoon complimented him while nodding.

“Yes he is. By the way, where is the others?”

“They said that they are tired”

“Oh I see, you are not tired oppa?”

“Of course.”

He smiles.

“Let’s go home oppa”

“Ah deh”

***

“Here, drinks this tea first dear”

Bella take away Hakyeon’s book and remove his glasses before handing him his tea.

“Thank you my sweetheart”

He grins and take his tea, sipping it a little by little.

“Is Junu sleeping already?”

Bella nods.

“Maybe he is too tired today”

“Jae says that he played too much at the mall today and he continues to play with you after dinner. He is not taking a nap after school today because he is too excited that he can follow Jae.”

Hakyeon nods and continue to drinks his tea, smiling a bit when Bella complaint about their son. She rarely nags. He then puts the cup on the night stand after emptying it.

“How is your day today?”

Hakyeon let Bella know everything, not left a bit.

“I hope he can the strength for his dream”

She commented, rubbing on his arm.

“I hope so”

He answered, holding her hand.

“Sleep dear. You too should have a good rest”

She kisses his forehead and Hakyeon grins.

“You too darling”

He added and Bella shakes her head, pulling her hand off of his grab.

“I put this first”

She takes the cup before glancing at her pouting husband and disappeared from their room, shaking her head with a light chuckle.

“Now let’s have some sleep and stop pouting. I'm here right?”

She said after she is done with the dishes and cups.

She knows he will still be up.

Hakyeon smiles and moves closer to his wife, hugging her.

“Oh I really love you darling”

He said and Bella snuggles onto his broad chest, smiling at the never lack of love that she recieve from Hakyeon since the first day they know each other.

“I know and I love you more”

“No. I love you more”

He argue and that makes her giggles like a teenagers.

“Okay okay I got that. Sleep neh”

“Hmmm. Good night yeobo”

“Good night”

***

Taekwoon did come to the kindergarten at his lunch break the day after as he promised.

He was happy to visit since he can meet Junu and the other children too.

“Oppa”

“Hyemi ah”

He smiles and walks to where Hyemi is when she waves at him.

“Come in, let’s meet the children”

Taekwoon follows Hyemi obidiently.

“This is Junu’s class.”

“Good afternoon everyone”

“Good afternoon teacher”

“I want you to meet someone”

Hyemi asks Taekwoon to come in.

“Taek samchon”

“Junu ah”

Junu runs towards Taekwoon and hugs him.

“Okay. Now go back to your desk Junu. Boys and girls meet Mr Jung Taekwoon.”

“Good afternoon. You can call me Taek samchun like how Junu address me guys”

“Good afternoon Taek samchun”

They then play happily and the kids were sad when Taekwoon wants to leave.

“Don’t be sad, I will come back again okay”

“Promise?”

“I promise”

“Pinky promise?”

One of the girls said while showing her tiny finger to Taekwoon which makes him smiles wider than ever.

“Pinky promise”

“Yeayyyy”

The girl jumps and followed by the others.

***

After 3 month.

 

The showcase run smoothly.

Some of the students had been chosen to be trainee at the Entertainment when they graduate.

Hakyeon is really proud with the teachers and the student.

Jackson also done the very best which is such a relief.

“Mr Cha”

Hakyeon is snaps back to reality when someone called him.

“I’ve knocked the door and called you so many time sir, but you didn’t notice”

“Is it? I’m sorry”

Hakyeon gestures him to take a sit at the sofa.

“Take a sit”

“Thank you sir”

“What make you come here to meet me Jackson?”

“Oh. I want to thank you for the strengths that you give me sir. If not because of you and your soothing words, I don’t know whether I will be chosen”

“No need to thank me boy, you have done your best. From your own effort.”

“But, you are the one who help me sir. You make it happen”

“You the one who dance and forgot about your stage fright. It's not me who dance for you”

Hakyeon laughs and pats Jakson's shoulder.

He smiles shyly.

“But still, if not you and Mr Kim”

“Okay then, you are welcome”

They both smile at each other.

One is proud and one is thankful.

***

“Mr Cha”

Hakyeon turn at the voice who is calling him, smiling when he saw Wonshik.

“Oh Wonshik ah, just call me hyung when we are not at the school”

“But we are at the parking lot IN the school hyung.”

He laughs and so Hakyeon did.

“Actually I want to thank you about Jackson”

“Aishh this kid, no need to thank me. I'm just doing my job as a teacher”

“No hyung, it's really, no I mean it. I did all sort of things but failed. You are the one who succeeds to make him dance on the stage”

“Arayo. You are welcome then”

“I want to treat you to lunch someday”

Wonshik suggest, scratching his head.

“Thank you but my wife will nag if I don't eat what she cooks”

Wonshik laughs again.

"Arasseo hyung."

“Let's do this. Why don't you and the others come to my house. I will treat you all to dinner”

“That sound great hyung”

“Then help me to tell the others”

“Sure hyung. When is it?”

“Let's see. Saturday at 8pm will be fine I guess”

“Okay. See you tomorrow hyung”

“Deh."

Hakyeon then get into his car and drove home with a lingering smile.

Talking about his wife makes him miss her more and he laughs for that.

***

“I'm homeeeee”

Hakyeon arrange his shoes neatly before put on his slipper.

“Darling, where are you?”

He asks, slightly wondering why Bella is not welcoming him like always.

"Yeobo."

No sound.

“Junu?”

Still no sound.

Hakyeon turns panic. Everyday he will hear his wife loving voice and his son runs towards him at the slight click of the door but not today.

“Where are they? I don't think they went out. Yeobo doesn't tell me if she will go out today”

He walks to the bedroom to search for his wife and son.

“Yeobo. Baby”

Suddenly someone close his eyes from the back. He really sure that it's Bella, his wife.

He take her hands off of his eyes and turns to hug her.

“Don't do that again yeobo. I'm scared when I found no one when I'm home”

Bella chuckles and walks out of his embrace, not forgetting to pinch his nose and hugs him; patting his back.

“Scaredy cat”

“No I’m not, It just, humphh. Just don’t do that again yeobo”

“I just want give you surprise, like how we always play when we are a newly wed.”

Hakyeon smiles and give his a wife a kiss.

“Where is Junu? He is playing a prank on me too hmm?”

“Aniya. He went to park with Hyemi. Do you think I can hide this long if Junu is in? He'll laughs.”

Hakyeon did chuckle but still rching his brows when he remember the time.

“This early?”

Bella nods and release herself from the tight hug that her husband gives to her.

She gaze up to his soothing face and smiles.

“Yeobo, how about we take a walk at the park too?”

Bella chuckles and caresses on his chest.

“Are you asking for a date Mr husband?”

“Yes”

He answers quickly in his military tone and Bella shakes her head again before she say yes and they both change to a more suitable outfit for the park.
