Valentine's Day

Kindergarten is Hard, Especially for Grown Ups

Valentine's Day craft would've been a lot easier if Donghae could use a hot glue gun without supervision. 

It's recess time and Eunhyuk is putting some burn cream onto Donghae's fingers. 

"I should have known better." Eunhyuk is gentle as Donghae only looks slightly embarrassed. 

Donghae blows softly on his fingers, jutting his lip out at the slight stinging. 

Eunhyuk shakes his head. "It's a wonder how you survive as a parent." 

Donghae shrugs, a small smile playing on his lips as he stares at his hands. "I just turn into a mess in front of you, it seems." 

"It'd be nice if you could fix that sometime soon." 

Donghae smiles ruefully. "You'll be the first one to know when I figure that out." 

Eunhyuk laughs before they fall into a comfortable silence. Donghae watches as Eunhyuk fidgets nervously, and can't help but think of how cute the teacher is. 

Donghae finds himself reaching for Eunhyuk, when a small girl comes barreling towards him, knocking him over. 

Donghae wheezes. "Haru, I told you to warn me first." 

Haru giggles and jumps up. "Dad, we gotta go early! You said we could go pick up Bada from the vet together. I miss her!!" 

Donghae picks up Haru and throws her onto his shoulder as she squeals in delight.

"You're right, we must rescue my other princess. Bye Eunhyuk!"

Eunhyuk watches in amusement as the two disappear. A moment later, Haru walks back into the classroom. 

"Sorry Mr. Lee, I forgot my bag."

Eunhyuk helps her pack up. As she's about to leave, Haru shoves a large, handmade card at him. She runs down the hall and yells, "See you Monday, Mr. Lee!"

Eunhyuk looks inside the card to see a drawing of Haru holding hands with Donghae and himself. He smiles and reads her message. 

'Happy Valentine's Day Mr. Lee!! I love you SO much and so does Dad! Please be my other dad!! He says he has to make you say yes before you can be! PLEASE SAY YES TO MY DAD!!"

Eunhyuk flushes red. He hates himself for already mentally saying yes, but no one needs to know.

Chapter 1: What if Donghae intentionally behaves like a 5yo to get his attention?? I mean, it's Hyukjae! I also definitely would if it's him! LOL

Chapter 4: It seems like Haru has inherited a bit of her clumsy nature from Donghae. But hopefully for her sake it's not quite as bad, haha. Her dad sure has an effective way to get her to get over a little scrape. This is another really cute au. ♡

Chapter 3: Lol, so Donghae blames his extreme fumbling and bumbling on Hyuk's presence and it's not just his usual thing? Uh-oh, sounds like it would be bad for them to be in a relationship then...but Eunhyuk is already mentally agreeing to a relationship/dadhood. Fair, how could he not? Haru is as adorable as her dad. 🥺

Chapter 2: Aw, Donghae is a danger to himself around bodies of water. (And probably most things, I'm guessing.) It's a little scary to think he's a parent. How does someone like that, a perpetual hazard to himself, keep a little kid alive? 😭

Meanwhile, Eunhyuk surely is an expert at denial, huhu.

Chapter 1: Hehehe, yes Ddohae is a handful, even when he's trying to be helpful. (Also more than a handful under that sweater, huh Hyuk.) 🤭
