We got ready to go out after breakfast. My mum wanted to stay at home while I go to work and Jae Hee is in school. She said she wanted to accompany Hyuna but I’m sure there’s something more to that. I couldn’t be bothered to ask her since she won’t tell me anyway. I just hope she won’t make things difficult for Hyuna.

I went out after waiting for Jae Hee to finish his endless goodbyes to Hyuna and my mum. I was carrying him with his small bagpack on when Yoseob was just locking his door.

“Uncle Yoseob!” Jae Hee cheered, stretching out his arms to Yoseob. He smiled from ear to ear seeing Yoseob. His favourite uncle perhaps.

Yoseob turned immediately hearing the cheerful voice and he too, smiled widely and walked towards us. I just brought Jae Hee forward a little so that Yoseob could hug him. I have no intention at all to let him go. You wanna hug him? Hug him along with me.

“Going to work?” I asked.

“Yeah. Things are going to get quite busy from now on. You know with all the company’s promotions going on..” he said monotonously. I nodded, knowing how he felt.

“Uncle Yoseob! We had pancakes this morning!” Jae Hee told him.

“Jinja? And you didn’t leave some for me??” Yoseob pouted.

“I can tell omma to make for you Uncle Yoseob! She’s very good at cooking!” Yoseob just laughed.

“I don’t want your omma to make the pancakes. I want you to make for me!” he said.

Jae Hee shook his head cutely. “I don’t know how to cook Uncle Yoseob. I don’t want to you to fall sick!” Yoseob just smiled and patted Jae Hee’s head.

“Aish.. You’re such a clever boy Jae Hee ah. Where are you going now?” he asked.

“School!” Jae Hee said happily. This may be the first time I see a child getting so excited to go to school.

“Have fun at school then Jae Hee! Uncle Yoseob have to go to work..” he said sadly, giving puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. You really act like a five year old Yoseob.

“Don’t be sad Uncle Yoseob! After you work, we can play together!” Jae Hee said.

“Promise?” Yoseob smiled brightly, holding out his pinky. They made a pinky promise and we went separate ways after bidding goodbye.

We were in the car going to his school when I decided to just ask him. “Jae Hee-ah, do you like Uncle Yoseob?” I asked although I’m quite sure I already know the answer.

“Yes! I love Uncle Yoseob! He’s fun to play with and he has a small face,” Jae Hee chuckled.

I just smiled. Yeah Yoseob is cute and fun to play with. But what about me?

“Erm.. do you.. like me then?” I asked.

“Of course Uncle Junhyung! I love you too!” he smiled widely looking at me. I was happy with his reply but suddenly his face changed and he looked away.

“But…”

But? There’s a but?? There’s no ‘but’ for Yoseob! What’s the but???

“But what Jae Hee?” I tried to ask calmly.

“You remind me a lot of appa… You care for me and omma just like appa,” he said. I’m like Jay? I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not.

“I miss appa,” he said softly but then turned to me and smiled as per normal. He’s only four and he already knows how to hide some of his feelings.

We reached his school and I parked at the side and walked him to the pre-school. His teacher was already at the door, welcoming the happy students running into the room. Jae Hee waved happily and her and she waved back, giving me a smile. I kneeled down infront of Jae Hee.

“Enjoy your day in school okay? Be a good boy arasso?” I ruffled his hair. He smiled cutely and nodded.

“I will Uncle Junhyung! Annyeong!” He kissed my cheek and ran excitedly to the school teacher. He went inside with all the other kids and the teacher closed the door. All the other parents were at the gates talking to one another. I went into the car and made my way to work.

“Junhyung-ssi, thank you so much for today. I really love how well you do your work,” one of my clients thanked me after his photoshoot with his wife. There were newlyweds and look very happy together.

“My pleasure. I’m glad you’re happy with it. The photos will be done in about 2 weeks time,” I said, shaking his hand. I walked them out and rested on my swivel chair. My phone rang.

“Omma?” I said after looking at the caller id.

“Junhyung-ah, will you be home for lunch? If not, Hyuna and I want to have lunch outside after taking Jae Hee back from school,” she said.

“You guys go ahead. I’ll be having lunch with Yoseob,” I said. I’m happy that my mum and Hyuna are getting along really well.

“And omma, please don’t make things hard for Hyuna,” I said, pleadingly.

“Bwoh? Have I been giving you a hard time? You think all your omma does is making things difficult for people? Is that what you think??” she retorted.

“Aish no omma.. I’m just saying. Okay okay I have to go now. Annyeong!” I ended the conversation quickly. She can be quite a drama queen sometimes.

I sighed and leaned back on my chair, closing my eyes for awhile. A knock came on the door and I opened my eyes.

“Junhyung, Yoseob called you about 10 minutes ago when you’re working. He wants you to call you back,” Hana said by the door, peeking her head in. I nodded and she went out.

“Yoseob-ah..” I said the moment he answered.

“Ah Junhyung! Do you wanna have lunch?” he asked.

“Yeah sure. Where should we go?”

“I’m feeling lazy to eat out. Lets just order something and eat in your office?” he said.

“Arasso. Don’t be late! Or your food will get cold.” He chuckled and agreed.

“Why aren’t you talking? Usually you would have a lot of things to say,” he said as we were eating.

“Jae Hee likes you” I said monotonously.

“Uh.. yeah I know that. So?” he raised an eyebrow.

I stopped poking on my food and looked at him seriously. “I’m jealous.”

Yoseob burst out laughing, holding onto his stomach. I raised my eyebrow looking at him having the time of his life.

“Come on man. He’s just a kid. Its not that Hyuna is the one who likes me,” he said. I pointed my fork at him.

“Don’t you even joke about that,” I warned him. He laughed again, raising his hands up, surrendering.

“Did he say he don’t like you?” Yoseob asked.

“He said he likes me too.”

“There you go. Now what’s there to be jealous about?” he said, shoving a spoonful or rice into his mouth.

“He said I remind him of Jay. Is that a good thing?” I asked, biting my lip slightly.

Yoseob stopped eating for awhile and looked at me. He just smiled. “I don’t know man.”
