“Eomma~~~” The little boy whined a bit, when you gave him your goodbye kiss.

“Eomma will be back soon, when you wake up, I will be right next to you, okay? Be a big boy, hmm?” Minki smiled at you and nodded a few times.

“I’m a big boy, I’m already four years old.” He hold his hand up and showed you his fingers proudly. “Yes, you are.”

You heard the bell ring and soon after that you heard your best friends’ voice.

“you, your date is here.” You gave Minki one last peck and hurried towards the door.

When you saw him standing there your heartbeat was increasing immediately. He smiled at you and you smiled back shyly while trying to put your shoes on. You looked at your friend and wanted to say goodbye, when you heard some running steps behind you.

“Eomma~~” You turned around and kneeled to catch your little boy.

“Minki-ah.” You lifted him up and hugged him tightly. “Is something wrong?”

“There is a monster under my bed.” He sniffed and hid his face in your shirt. “I don’t want to sleep alone.” You patted the back of his head.

“Oh, Minki, I’m sure it’s a really nice monster and your hyung will talk to him, that he will let you sleep, okay?” Your friend opened his arms so you could give the little boy to him.

“Thank you oppa. I won’t be late, but call me when something is wrong, okay?”

“Don’t worry, I’m sure I can chase the monster away, just enjoy your date.” He moved his head towards Yongguk, who was still waiting on the stairs.

“Your son is nice.”

“He is, right?” Yongguk nodded. He seemed relieved that he had found a topic to talk about; after all he was a bit afraid you would just stare at each other.

“How old is he? Five?”

“He turned four two months ago.”

“Really? I thought he would be older.”

“Actually he is too small for his age-“ You chuckled embarrassed.

Yongguk gaped at you.

“Woah, I knew that I have not much knowledge about these facts, but I thought I would at least guess right that much .”

“How would you know about something like this? I didn’t know it myself until the doctor told me about it about one year ago.”

After this short conversation, you stayed silent and didn’t talk much for a while too nervous to think about any topic you could talk about. When you had reached the restaurant, you started to talk about the food you wanted to try and avoided any personal themes until you got the food in front of you.

You had been eating silently until you heard Yongguk clearing his throat, looking up at him you smiled. “I’m sorry, I know I don’t talk much.”

“Ah, that’s okay.” He smiled back. “Actually I liked to see you eating like that, you are different from these girls that don’t eat properly you know.” Yongguk chuckled softly before he tilted his head, his smile leaving his face for a short moment. “So, I don’t know if I am
