Jiyeon opened the letter given to her by a boy no older than five. Jiyeon chuckled lightly at the badly drawn heart. They looked cute and his hand writing uneven. Ziyu was such a cute kid.

It wasn’t easy task to read what was written but eventually she was able to understand what it was about. She sighed shaking her head. Right now kids were playing outside and as a kindergarten teacher it was probably one of the few moments she could relax. But now she has some serious matter needed to resolve with the kid’s parent.

Apparently the kid has fallen in love with her, and he wanted to marry her as soon as possible without informing his father because his father would try to separate them. And he also added that he has papers to make their marriage official.

“I need to talk with his father.” Jiyeon said to the other teacher named Baekhyun.

“Ziyu’s father is actually a widower. I think when the boy was three years old they decided to divorce for good. On weekends he stays with his mother and on weekdays with his father.”

“So that means the kid’s still being taken care by both even when they decided to separate which means they both very much love him.”

Baekhyun nodded giving her Mr. Oh phone number as she requested.

Thanking him she left to call the man who was currently taking care of child.

“Mr. Oh I would like to have a serious conversation with you related to your Oh Ziyu. Please meet me in his classroom after school hours are over..”

Then she hanged up. It is going to be a little awkward to talk about this with the kid’s father. It was also embarrassing to be confessed by a kid like this.

Jiyeon was sitting in the classroom alone when someone cleared throat. That father must have arrived. Sitting up straight she gazed at the door and for a second she kept staring at the tall man dressed in the darkest shade of blue suit fitted to his body shape.

Gulping she told the man to have a seat as she nervously took the letter out from the drawer.

“Why I’m here?” he asked coldly and straight to the point. He sure was a cruel business man.

“Well I want to discuss something about Ziyu. Here take a look.” She handed him the paper. She couldn’t help but to eye his expensive watch.

The man frown his eyebrow and after few a minute he placed the paper on table. “I didn’t understand a word in it, mind explaining the issue.”

Jiyeon tried her best to not scowl. Leaning forward to stare directly at the handsome man.

“This is a love letter from your son to me. It’s written he wanted to marry me as soon as possible and without you knowing about it.”

“Why did you tell me then?” He questioned blankly.

Jiyeon’s gasped softly caught off guard. Composing herself she stared at the man firmly. “I said your son confessed to me, his teacher. And all you think is about this, Mr. Oh-”

“It’s Sehun.”

“That’s not a matter you could take lightly like this.”

Sehun eyed her up and down raising his eyebrow elegantly. “He’s just a kid. Don’t take his words seriously. I’ll have a talk with him at home. Don’t get so worked up because someone said they like you. I bet you’re still single.”

That was ultimately rude. The rudest thing someone ever said to her. Greatly offended Jiyeon clenched her fingers tightly to not raise her voice at the careless man.

Seeing her distress expression the business man sighed. “Don’t worry once I’ll have a talk with him, he’ll be careful with what he say- or confess in this matter.”

“It’s not about confessing. It’s about his mental health. He needs a motherly figure and because we’re close, he thinks he likes me in that way.” Jiyeon said quietly.

Nodding his head Sehun assured her. “I’ll make sure to understand that too. You don’t have to get all pressured. I know how to raise my child very well.”

She walked with him outside the classroom walking out step by step. Reaching out they find Ziyu sitting alone staring into space.

“Ziyu, let’s go.” Sehun called and waited for the boy to turn to him.

The boy stands up and his eyes brightened when he saw Jiyeon standing there.

“Teacher you read my letter?” He asked innocently. “Do you love me too?”

Jiyeon choked and while Sehun cleared his throat awkwardly. Apologizing to Jiyeon quietly he took the boy’s hand in his walking to his car.

Jiyeon waved at the kid with sad eyes. The kid probably needs love and she hoped Sehun can really give the kid what he wants instead of filling his room with toys.

“Ziyu, did you write a love letter to your teacher?” Sehun asked keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel.

Ziyu opened his mouth but then shut it immediately.

“I did.”

“Is this right thing to do?”

“I love her dad. She’s like mom. You won’t understand anyway.” Ziyu said turning his head to the side scowling.

“Why won’t I understand? And watch your tone young man, you’re not allowed to talk to me in such a manner. Am I clear Ziyu?” He firmly asked.

The boy replied a quiet yes.

Seeing it was useless to talk now Sehun decided to talk later before bed time.

“He’s not responding to me.” Sehun said to Jiyeon the next morning before class.

Jiyeon narrowed her eyes. Thoughts running wild she nodded. “Fine, I’ll talk to him on this matter.”

“Then I must get going.”

“Wait-” Jiyeon called before the man could get up. “I… I wanted to ask about his mother.”

Sehun sighed in frustration, before leaning back again.

“Have you seen how mother and son interact together? Does Ziyu miss her when he’s with you?”

Sehun thought for a second then nodded. “Of course he would miss her. I never stayed enough to see them interact but she’s a nice lady if you’re thinking to accuse her of anything.”

Wow he was really defensive towards his ex it surprised Jiyeon. Maybe they didn’t end it in wrong path or maybe he still loves her. Did she cheat on him? Or she just fell out of love? Who couldn’t love such a man and who has to be idiot enough to leave such a man.

She blushed at her thought. What the hell was she thinking?! She needs to get her mind straight. She was a teacher of this man’s kids, she need to act professional in front of the parent.

“I didn’t mean it like that. I know it’s not my place but he’s looking for someone to love him and give him attention. He’s feeling neglected and the first one who decided to give him attention and have a motherly vibe he drowned to that person.”

“So you’ve the motherly vibe I suppose?” Sehun said blankly.

Jiyeon hissed. “Mr. Oh-”

“It’s Sehun.”

“Can you focus on the problem in hand. I must say you’re easily distracted by useless points.”

“That’s why you’re sitting in the kindergarten teacher chair and I’m in ceo, that says a lot about us, does it not?”

Jiyeon has the urge to slam her fist on the table but she knows better than to do that.

“This ends here. I’ve many things to do and I’m not going to waste any more time here.”

He stands up and left.

Jiyeon slammed her head on the table. This was going nowhere.

Jiyeon had talk to Ziyu about his liking towards her and the boy stayed quiet. This time Jiyeon decided to talk with the mother.

Elegant lady walked and Jiyeon almost felt her jaw drop. What the hell was this family? The woman was wearing light pink knee length dress. Her hand clasped together in front of her as her hair lays on her back. Long and black with maroon shining in them. Her skin pale, just like her ex-husband. No wonder Ziyu was such a beautiful kid. Jiyeon felt sour from inside.

“Mrs.-”

“Irene is fine with me.” She said with a kind nature.

Jiyeon gulped smiling.

“I wanted to talk about Ziyu.”

“Sehun actually told me everything. I think you’re right. I’m not able to stay with him more than two days. And in those two days he talks about you.” Irene said smiling gently.

Jiyeon blushed. Her voice sounded like she was spitting compliments and it was so beautiful. Now that she thinks about it, maybe Sehun cheated on her instead of this creature doing that.

The door opened and in came in Sehun. Jiyeon screeched mentally. Why he was here?! She just wanted to have a peaceful talk with the mother of the kid but here he was.

Jiyeon observed the way Irene offered her ex a dashing smile and in return Sehun smiled back sweetly. Are they divorced or what?

Clearing she stared at two back and forth.

“Welcome back Sehun though I clearly remember I wanted to have a nice talk with Irene here.”

Irene chuckled softly and Sehun’s face fall before he coughed. “I just wanted to be present for my son and I believe there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Gritting her teeth Jiyeon nodded. “Of course no. Have a seat please.”

Jiyeon was totally envious at how the two smiled at each other from time to time. And now she was sending both back with a fake smile.

Sehun opened the car door for Irene who thanked him getting inside.

Jiyeon turned around to walk away when she heard something.

“I don’t have any choice. Ziyu doesn’t want a nanny. He’s been crying to me every morning and night how he doesn’t want one so I can’t do that. I guess he has to stay alone for the whole night.”

“Just make sure nothing is there to harm him, after all he’s five years old boy you’re leaving alone in the house.”

“I’ll.”

Now Jiyeon didn’t want to eavesdrop on their conversation but if she heard right then they were talking about leaving Ziyu alone at home for the entire night?

When Irene’s car drive away Sehun was almost close to his car. Jiyeon rushed to him.

“Hey I’m sorry but I heard you talking with your ex-wife that Ziyu would be lonely. I can stay with him If you don’t mind beside I believe Ziyu won’t mind.”

Okay Jiyeon know she was too much but she wanted to take care of the boy. He was already feeling neglected and that would be even worse.

Sehun without wasting a second nodded, giving her his business card.

“After school I’ll come to fetch Ziyu so you better be ready by then.”

Jiyeon nodded in excitement. Ziyu would be happy. Or maybe she’s happy just as the kid was going to be happy.

After school Jiyeon was standing with the little boy waiting for Sehun. She has already talked with the kid who was excited to go home and show her his room and toys.

Sehun was talking on the phone when she gets inside after making sure Ziyu was in first.

Sitting beside him, she tried to not look at Sehun’s side. His scent was spread around the car; it smelled expensive and had strong fragrance it almost made her feel dizzy. He didn’t have this smell in the morning though. He probably sprayed some not long ago.

“So you’re in good terms with your ex?” Way to start a causal conversation.

Sehun made a little sound of surprise. “Well as you can see.”

Nodding her head she thought of what to ask. It is okay if she asks who cheated who because if they were in good terms so why divorce right.

“Why would you divorce then?”

Sehun stopped the as it turn red light. He gazed at her for few seconds making her uncomfortable.

“I don’t know how that concerns you but she had someone and I fall out of love. No hard feelings.”

“So she cheated.” Jiyeon blurted out.

Sehun grunted. “No she didn’t. She informed me before talking to that guy and I said do what your hearts tell you. We were already not close so things ended on good notes.”

Jiyeon know she has already passed the line and Sehun would snap at her but curiousty was killing her. “Are you looking for someone to look after your kid and… your needs?”

Sehun this time stopped the car in front of a super market. “Aren’t you a one curios thing? Is it okay for you to ask me these questions? Should I take that you’re interested in fulfilling my needs?”

Damn! Jiyeon cursed herself. She know it, it wasn’t the friendly conversation anymore.

“Ah of course no! Why would I do that? I was asking for Ziyu’s sake and- and for you too.”

Chuckling softly Sehun peeked at the back seat to check his son who was sleeping while hugging his back tightly. “Well thank you for the concern but no, I’ve a kid that needs my attention more. I don’t do flings. If someone wants me to marry them, I’ve to make sure their priority is Ziyu. So no I didn’t find anyone who’s like that.” Opening the door, Sehun smirked slightly. “Except a one teacher bugging me about my son.”

Sehun shut the door close letting Jiyeon process what he just said. Oh god no! He just didn’t say that? Was he flirting with her? Her cheeks reddened with shyness. Slapping her both cheeks she shake her head to get rid of some scenes of her head.

Sehun parked the car gently telling the boy to get up. Jiyeon was awkwardly sitting after that conversation. She just couldn’t act fine by his side with what he said and he seemed too busy with other things too as calls after calls interrupted him. At one point Jiyeon was sure he was holding two phones.

“Everything’s here about his needs. If he asks for ice cream, don’t let him have it even if he starts crying. Don’t let him have any soft drinks. It’s all milk or juice. Don’t order out, I’ve already talked with someone who’ll bring the dinner. If he asks for sweets let him have it. He would probably beg for them so there’s no use telling him no. He loves them as much as he loves you so you can’t stop him. There’s a wallet with money in it, use it if there’s emergency. All good?”

Jiyeon had her jaw dropped. Was he serious? She never had a kid so how would she know. Now it actually sound likes a caring father.

“You’re making me feel like you’re not the right person to stay with my son.”

Jiyeon close . She had forget he asked so she replied with she’ll take care of everything.

It was one hell of a tiring day. Not like Ziyu was annoying but… she wasn’t used to look after someone outside of school.

It was suddenly the door rang and she went to open to only find Irene with paper bags. Jiyeon gasped opening the door wider for the boy’s mother to come in.

“Hey there, seem like Sehun trust you already.” She said in her friendly nature making Jiyeon blush. The little boy ran to his mother and hugged her legs. He was like a cat as the elegant woman patted his head.

Putting the things down she start getting plates and other things leaving Jiyeon standing at the side awkwardly.

In the middle of working Irene smiled at Jiyeon.

“My husband is waiting outside for me so I can’t stay for dinner. I just wanted to help out a little as Sehun told me to give you a hand that you must be tired.”

Oh so Sehun was behind this. She felt her heart flattered, he thought of her.

“Ziyu baby come and eat.” She called the boy then motioned for Jiyeon to sit too.

“I’ll clean the room while you guys eat. Also I’ll prepare his pajamas and his bath.”

Jiyeon could only nod. She wasn’t married to Sehun but she can see the woman love her son very much. Could it be the reason Sehun was friendly with her?

Jiyeon was still eating and feeding Ziyu sometime when Irene came down smiling towards her son.

“You know Jiyeon, it’s not easy for Sehun to trust people. He doesn’t even trust nannies to look after Ziyu but when he has no choice he let them around him. But seeing how easily he gave in to you… I’m impressed.”

Jiyeon choked, drinking a glass of water before she smiled humbly. “No no it’s nothing like that. He probably let me in because I’m Ziyu’s teacher and also I asked him.”

Shaking her head Irene kissed her son and talked with him few things before walking out she mumbled. “He fall out of love and only stayed with me because I was pregnant. It was never love between us. So don’t think much of our relationship. It’s easy for both of us to act casual because this is how we lived. There was no emotional attachment but Ziyu, the only reason made us stay.”

After tucking Ziyu in bed, she couldn’t help but to over think what Irene said.

It was in the morning when she woke up and cooked a breakfast for the two before preparing him for the day. She didn’t have clothes so she was still wearing her previous day clothes regretfully. Now she had to wear these clothes in school because it would be late if she go home and then change.

She stared quietly at the kid eating. Jiyeon saw the kid has so little resemblance to Sehun. His chin, lips, nose and skin were Sehun’s and his other featured matched with his mother which made him lean more to the pretty side.

The door opened and in came in Sehun. He looked worried as he stared around the house. Coming to the dining table, he eyed Jiyeon’s clothes making her bite her lips in embarrassment. But then he was also in his last day suit so that makes it even.

As Sehun checked his son and made sure he was thoroughly cleaned and had enough sleep and no ice cream or soft drinks did he stand up and offered Jiyeon a smile.

“I hope he didn’t trouble you much. Last night I send Irene for the dinner, did you guys ate well?” He asked. And Jiyeon unconsciously smiled. He was truly a father with this attitude. Already worrying about these things and he just stepped in.

“We did… thank you.” She mumbled feeling her cheeks heat up.

Sehun nodded. “Uh by the way about clothes, I’m sorry I forget to let you take some clothes. You can take from Irene’s wardrobe right now. I’m sure you need to shower hmm?”

Jiyeon wanted to say that it was okay but she was already feeling uncomfortable in her clothes. Beside it’s not like the two were alone, Ziyu was with them too. So it wasn’t appropriate to shower in a house where kid live, right?

Jiyeon went up to the master bedroom where Sehun told her to feel free to choose what she wants after giving her the key to the room. He said he normally keep the door locked because Ziyu stay alone and would ruin his room.

She stepped inside the clean and elegant room. Her breath hitched when she stared at the king sized bed neatly made. Biting her lips shyly she didn’t dare to look around anymore as she opened the wardrobe.

Her eyes shined with the different colors and elegant looking clothes. For a second she felt her shoulders drop. She could never afford for such a dresses. She saw a blue knee length skirt and white dress shirt. Taking them out gently she hold them-

“Underwear’s are also down there.” She nearly throws the clothes hearing the voice at the door.

Sehun smiled teasingly, raising his eyebrow at her. He had his arms crossed leaning on the door. His sleeves rolled to his elbow fittingly.

Clenching the clothes tightly in her grasp she tried to sound normal unlike her heart. “No it’s okay. I’m fine.”

Chuckling Sehun whispered. “Trying to be polite now? You didn’t feel shy asking about my… needs back then.”

And Jiyeon never felt her heart ringing in her ears like today before.

“Anyway do as you please. Once you’re ready come down stairs.” He said quietly still not moving away from the door frame.

Jiyeon replied a quiet yes before walking to the door and stopped when he didn’t move eyeing her.

“Umm I want to pass.” She said.

“You don’t need to tell me that. The way is here if you’re wondering.” He pointed with his index finger at his side.

Jiyeon bite her lips in nervousness. He was playing with her now. As if he knows his mere existence was making her weak.

Instead of giving him more chance to , she simply decided to walk past him. It won’t be a big deal if there sides brush against each other.

“Wait-” Sehun called making her stop one step ahead of him.

Smiling unpredictably he whispered in his raspy voice. “If you’re not looking for a fling, I don’t mind to give it a chance just in case if you’re interested to live with a man who has a kid.”

Jiyeon smiled shaking her head she walked to the guest room. Sehun could wait for the answer till she’s presentable.
